That the present system whereby
summer baseball is prohibited to Var-

opinion expressed at the second For-
um held at the Union last night. There
was a difference of ideas as to thej
method to be used in clanging the ex-
isting rule, as some wanted to permitl
men to play in the summer, and one
man even advised the abolition of in-,

C. W. Ferguson, '15L, pitcher on last
years team, said, "On the trip last
year, the sentiment among many of
the eastern institutions was that if
some one would take the lead in abol-
ishing the summer rule, they would
follow. But are we in a position to do
it? If we get rid of the ruling, and
then have a winning team, they of
course will say that we can win under
such a loose system. I am in favor of
abolishing the rule only if the other in-
stitutions agree to follow."
The chief objection to doing away
with the ruling was' that professional
players might invade college athletics.
With no rule to keep them out, inter-
collegiate baseball might become com-
mercialized. This was answered by
the argument that if a man came to
college, and passed the necessary ;a
year's work, he must have some desir#*
for the educational advantages. Fur-
thermore, no regular professional
player would play college baseball
while belonging to an outside team, for1

hits, has just finished a new song to
be introduced by Waldo Fellows, '14,
tonight at the "Band Bounce,", which
will begin at 8:00 o'clock in Hill audi-
torium. The name of the song is,
"She's the Old Girl of Half a Dozen
Fellows," and according to a letter re-
ceived from Lawton yesterday, the
song will be published if it is well re-
ceived tonight.
With Waldo Fellows, '14, and Gordon
Eldredge, '14, leading off the bill, And
with an advance ticket sale amounting
to more than 2,500 last night, it is ex-
pected that the auditorium will be
crowded when the Varsity band gives
its second concert of the year. More
than 200 persons will take part in the
concert, the Varsity musicians num-
bering 45, the Girls' Glee club 60, and
the men's Glee club another 50, and
the other features on the program in
addition.
"Cheese It," the comedy melodrama
by W. A. P. John, '16, will be one of
the leading humorous numbers in the
entertainment, with its laughable take-
off on the old sttyle melodramas, three
"villians" and two "heros" making up
the cast.
In the "all-star" cast which will put
on the skit, are M. C. Wood, '17, who
had the leading part in "Pomander
Walk," E. A. Sachs, '17, who was with
the Jesse' Bonistelle Co., for three
years; C. S. Lamb, '18, who appeared at
the first "Band Bounce," E. G. Hildner,
lit., E. V. Fishburn, '15E, and A. F.
Paley, '17.

o'clock tonight.

upon.
The open air theate, as proposed,.

stage to be erected on Lie property at
the rear of the residerce of President-
Emeritus James B. Angell, and as de-
scribed would be "a medium between

Opinion in the class was so divided
on the subject, some claiming the pro-
posal wholly impractical at the pres-
ent time, and others supporting the
movement heartily, that It was decided
to think the matter over and reserve
decision until the next class meeting
which is to be held next week.

Edison Company Gives Scenario Prize
Prizes have been awarded by the Ed-

picture scenarios submitted to them in
the contest held for students of all
universities. Owing to the fact that
so few acceptable scenarios were hand-
ed in, the conditions were changed for
the awarding of the prizes, and only
one prize of $100 was given. The win-
ning scenario was submitted by Wil-
liam Marston, of Harvard University.'
SOUTH BEND, IND.,. Feb. 25.
-Mills, Duggan and Bergman, stars of
last year's 'Varsity nine, will remain'
with the track team until after the
Michigan and Wisconsin dual meets.
This was the decision reached yester-
day by Notre Dame authorities, who
wish to have the greatest strength pos-
sible in the field against the Wolver-
ines and Wisconsin.1
Bergman is one of the three d sh
men, and his excellent showing IIde
thus far this year has caused the coach
to retain him with the track squad.
Mills is already known to Michigan
baseball fans, for his home run wal-
lop of "Doc" Baribeau was one of the
longest smashes the Michigan rooters
had ever seen.
Bachman, the local shot putter, is
confident of beating Michigan's weight
man. Kohler finished second to Bach-
man in the I. A. C. meet, which shows.
that the local lad is now in pretty good
shape.
Kirkland has been improving some-
what over the hurdles, and is showing
better form over the high barriers
than he has yet this season, although
Michigan seems destined to garner the
big share of the points in this event.
