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 the intercollegiate season breaks into l the middle of the league schedules. 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.

The open air theate, as proposed,. would be built west of ie library, the, 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 Hill auditorium and 'iarah Caswell Angell hall." 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. ,Nominations for various offices, the Officials for the dual meet were a nounced last night by the atnietic a sociation officials, and include man of those who had charge of the Fres Soph meet last week.

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.
