For the first time in 15 years, track
teams of Michigan and Notre Dame
will clash in a dual meet, when the
Catholic and the Wolverine squads
battle tonight for honors in the initial
indoor collegiate meet of the Michigan
1915 season.
In charge of Coach J. C. Harper,
former Maroon athlete, the Notre
Dame squad will arrive in Ann Arbor
this afternoon at 2:32 o'clock, over the
Michigan Central lines. The Catholics
are expected to come more than 20
strong for this meet, which is the big-
gest of their indoor season. The west-
erners will be quartered at the Catal-
pa Inn during their stay in this city,
and will probably leave for South
Bend some time on Sunday.
Michigan's track men rested yester-
day afternoon, only one or two of the
Varsity men showing up in the gymna-
sium. Coach Farrell, though refusing
to make any prediction on the score of
tonight's meet, expressed himself as
.atisfied -with the chances of his men
for a victory. The rooters, however,
are far more optimistic than the coach,
and, unless the Wolverines come out
on top by at least a 2 to 1 score, they
will be sorely disappointed. Predic-
tions point to Michigan's taking first
place in at least five events, with the
certainty that they will take the ma-
jority of seconds and thirds.
Four changes in the list of, officials
were announced yesterday afternoon.
William. D. Knight of Detroit, former
Michigan football player, will take the
place of W. T. Fishleigh as track
judge, Charles Barton of Detroit, one-
time Wolverine baseball man, will act
as field judge, in place of Homer
{Ieath, while Coach J. C. Harper of
Notre Dame, and James B. Craig will
act as timers, in the places of Evans
Holbrook and C. B. Haff.
A revival of last year's football
seat sales was seen yesterday after;
noon when students nearly stampeded
the athletic association office in the
effort to get those tickets left over
from the special distribution to the
seniors. Over 400 lined up, and it was
necessary to turn many away after the
350 left had been given out.
MICHIPGN CHESS PLAYERS WIN
ADVANTAGE IN HARVARD MATCH
Loeal Team Forces Opponents to Give
Up Piece in Exchange
for Pawn .
Michigan chess players have secured
the first advantage in the Harvard-
Michigan correspondence chess tour-
namment, as the result of the winning
of a piece in one of the games in ex-
change for one pawn. The advantage
is apparently sufficient to insure vic-
tory for the Michigan team, with cor-
rect playing on both sides, as in the
other four games, neither side can
claim any superiority.
W. T. Adams, '17, is the captain of
the Michigan team in charge of the
game that has secured the advantage,
and is opposed by W. Fabens, '16L, of
the Harvard team.

Henry Stephens Gives Book to Library
Henry Stephens, one of the candi-
dates for regent on the Republican
ticket, in the recent campaign, pre-
sented the general library with a copy
of his privately printed "South Amer-
ican Travels." The work is dedicated
to the Hon. Chase S. Osborn.
BATTIN PRACTICE
Massachusetts, into the campus lime-
light, with a punch that knocked the
legs out from under the long-faced
contingent, and sent 5,000 students
and townspeople on their way chuck-
ling over the two hour program of
song, dance and story that they had
viewed in Hill auditorium under the
head o f Michigan's second "Band
Bounce." The bellows of "more" had
almost equaledbin volume the spine.
tickling strains of the "Victors," so
the promoters of the entertainment
chuckled as well.
Waldo Fellows, '14, and "Gord" El-
dredge, '14, also came back, and sent
a program of wit and vocal wanderings
out over the footlights that won for
them the position of king pins for the
evening. The breezy farce, "Cheese
It!," by W. A. P. John, '16, seemed to
appeal to the audienc6's sense of hu-
mor, and was well-applauded as the
mythical curtain dropped.
George M. Olson, '17, stepped out of
the veil of obscurity that has shrouded
him since leading the 1913 Varsity
band down Ferry field, and showed his
old adeptness with the baton. Ap-
pealing more to the aesthetic senses,
Gerald Strong, '15D, rendered "Sweet-
hearts," on the violin, in a pleasing
manner, while a delegation of some 60
women put the Girls' Glee club on the
map.

Coach Lundgren sent his men
through the second day of batting
practice at Waterman gym yesterday
afternoon, preparing the way for im-
provement in the use of the stick, by
giving the squad a short talk on form
in batting, and how it exercises prac-
tical effects.
Personal work 'dominated the after-
noon's session, Lundgren making the
rounds of the players and giving each
one advice particularly adapted to his
needs. .;Jack" Enzenroth, captain of
the Varsity baseball nine in 1910, as-
sumed the role of catcher's critic, and
made the rounds of the candidates for
that position, as they took their turns
in the batting cages. . The Kansas City
catcher seems to be quite satisfied
withl the material that has appeared
for the backstop position, and he be-
lieves that, with a few touches of pol-
ishing, the material should develop
into a couple of good men for the now
vacant post.
MEMORIAL FOUNTAIN PLAN
HALTED BY BUILDING RUMORS
Whether the senior, laws should
leave a. memorial drinking fountain
was not decided at the meeting of the
class yesterday, as the committee re-
ported thatDean H. M. Bates had
given out information that the law
building might be remodelled within
the next two or three years. This
would make the fountain merely a
temporary affair..
After a discussion in regard to the
annual Crease dance, it was decided to
follow custom, and restrict the affair
to the senior laws, only,
FRESH ENGINEERS TO MEET
LAW HOCKEY TEAM TONIGHT
Fresh engineers will meet the law
hockey team at Weinberg's skating
pavilion at 6:15 o'clock tonight, to de-
termine which team shall play the-
combined senior and fresh lits for the
possession of the second set of num-
erals, to be awarded for second place
in the intramural hockey league.
Photos of 60 Senior Engineers Needed
Out' of 200 individual pictures of
senior engineers which are to be taken
Captain Mattsson, Nichols and White
made up the Varsity fencing team that
left last night for Ithaca, and, while
the Wolverine foilmen are far from
over-confident, they will face the Cor-
nell swordsmen, determined to put up
the battle of their lives.
The Cornell team is made up of vet-
eran fencers, who last year forced the
winners of the eastern intercollegiate
to the utmost, to beat them out of first;
place. Michigan's trio of fencers, on
the other hand, has had little outside
competition, although the men have
been improving steadily during the
past few days of practice.
Captain Mattsson is the strongest of
the Wolverine trio', and the Varsity
leader is expected to win his bouts in
the Cornell meet. The fact that Matts-
son won all three of his bouts in the,
faculty tournament this week, stows
that the Michigan captain is in top
form for tonight's match with the kha-
cans.
COMEDY CLUB MAY GO ON ROAD
"Pomander Walk" to Be Given in De-
troit and Chicago 1
"Pomander Walk" will be presented
in Detroit or Chicago, or both, if the
Comedy club can override the numer-
ous obstacles that loom ahead, in the
way of alumni support, faculty per-
mission and eligibility. Just now the
prospects for making these trips are
fairly bright, and it is thought by
President Louis K. Friedman, '15, thA,
within about 10 days, the club will be
in a position to give a final decision
as to the outcome of the negotiations
that are now being carried on.
Not wishing to compete with the
numerous student entertainmentsthat
will be given on the campus this Z
spring, the club has declared against
a third appearance in Ann Arbor. It is
thought that such a play would "asurp
too much of the company's tine
will address the combined meeting of
the International Polity club and the
Cosmopolitan club, in Harris hall,'at
7:30 o'clock Monday, is visiting many
of the western universities, including
Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebras-
ka, Kansas and Ohio State. Dr. Nas-
myth has visited in recent years, the
universities of 22 countries, in. con-
nection with the international student
movement, and has an intimate knowl-
edge of all the warring nations.'
"America is really A cross-section
of Europe," said Dr Nasmyth, yester-
day." With our' millions of citizens of
German descent, of British descent,
and our close ties with all of the Eu-
ropean nations engaged in the war,
we have an opportunity to get the
viewpoint of all nations, and thus to
find terms of settlement which will re-
move many of the possible causes of
wars. Through such discussion, we
could find out the legitimate needs and
aspirations of the nations, such as the
claim of Russia for an ice-free port,
the denial of which has already been
an important cause in three wars,-
the Crimean, the Russo-Japanese and
the present world war.
"The conclusion reached in such a
nation-wide discussion would have
an important influence upon the
treaty of peace, in three ways.
In the first place, i would have direct
effect u on the public opinion in Euro-
pearsn countries, through the millions
of letters constantly being exchanged
through newspaper clippings, and our
magazine articles; secondly, through
a constructive offer of mediation,
which President Wilson will be able
to make at the proper time; and third-
ly, through the direct influence which
America will be able to exert in the
peace conference itself."

ties to. be in a serious condition, suf-
fering from internal injuries. At a

lided violently with his opponent.

Basketball
JUNIOR ENGINEERS BEAT FRESH
Last year's canipus basketball cham-
pions sustained their second success-
ive defeat of lhe season, last night at
Waterman gym, falling victims to the
lightning play of the soph lits. The
final numerical version of the affair1
was: Soph lits 27, senior lits 25.
The fresh engineers fell before the'
junior engineers, 21 to 9, while the
senior engineers administered a spund
drubbing to the soph engineers, the
final score standing 24 to 10.
Bradbeer, occupying the pivot po-
sition for the soph lits, figured promi-
nently in an offensive way, flicking
seven baskets from the 'field. 'Qohen,
who was stationed at left guard for the
sophs, ably assisted b spoil-
ing many a well-intended shot.
"H owdy" Marsh once again cov-

MEMORIAL COMMITTEE TELLS
OF PROPOSED THEATER PLANS
Details of the' proposed memorial
pl1n of the senior literary class, were
explained yesterday by members oft
the mnemoria committee. The idea is
to leave $600, at the disposal of the
class, in trust, with the regents of the
university, until the amount necessaryu
to build a campus theater will havej
been secured. In the meantime, the
fund is to- be loaned in scholarships,
to students of th@ literary college.
The proposed play-house is to be a
theater 'of the average type, and 'will
not necessarily be located on the cam-
pus. The project will be voted on at
the next meeting of 'the class, which
will be held next week.;
