WANT SPIKES FOR INDOOR TRACK
Cornell and Pennsylvania in Favor of:
New Practice ,
Owing to the recent ijuries that
several track stars have sustained in-
doors, Pennsylvania, Cornell, and sev-
eral other eastern institutions, are re-
fusing to compete over the boards un-
less spikes are' allowed. .
Spikes indoors have been practical-
ly unheard of here at Michigan. In
fact, when the university decided to
enter Captain Smith and O'Brien in1
the dashes at Madison Square Garden
in New York at the senior indoor
A. A. U. meet, the ldcal sprinters had
to practice in the third floor of an
Ann Arbor. residence to become famil-
ar with the indoor spikes. Both run-
ners declared that they were of big
assistance.
Pennsylvania and Cornell have both
suffered from losing men who have
sustained bad falls indoors, and as a
result are taking this new action. Har-
vard's stand in the matter is of less
importance, but Cornell and Penn-
sylvania are the recognized track au-
thorities of the east.
Dismiss Lamond, '17, from Hospital
Roy D. Lamond, '17, who has been
sick at the university hospital for the

Senate Council Postpones Meeting
Members of the senate council did
not meet last night, as was scheduled,
but will hold their March meeting next
Monday night.
Coach Lundgren wielded the axe
yesterday afternoon after the Varsity
baseball practice, eight of the candi-
dates for this year's team falling be-
fore his third onslaught, which reduc-
ed the number of men on the squad to
a total of 44 candidates for positions.
The inroads were confined to the out-
field and the battery and short-stop
candidates. .
"Bill" Davidson returned to the
squad yesterday afternoon after an
absence of a week, during which time
*he has been on the coach's sick list.
Work in the cage lasted for an hour
and a half yesterday afternoon, the
pitchers being allowed for the first
time to show what they had in the
way of fancy curves. Nichols has
been showing well in the straight ball
practice, and after yesterday's work-
out, when the first line could be gain-
ed on his ability to put over the curv-
ed ones, he seems to be about the most
promising of the non-veteran candi-
dates for the pitching staff. The field-
ing practice which followed the work
in the batting cage was run through
in a snappy fashion.
The list of men who escaped the
coach's pruning knife follows: Gard-
ner, Benton, Krauss, McGraw, Harsh-
man, Shepard, Gee, Sisler,' Ferguson,
Davidson, Soddy, Payette, Flynn, Mc-
Namara, Toles, Nichols, Cutting, Dwy-

Various Positions Open with Good Sal-
aries and Opportunities
United States civil service examina-
tions have been announced for a large
number of government positions, the
examinations to be given at various

sizes the fact that it has been unable'

$840 to $940, with good opportunities
for advancement.
Some of the positions open, and the
time of examination follow: Chemical

technical assistant in pharmacology-
$2,000, April 6; expert mechanician-

In addition to a set of 0. Henry in

The senior dents beat the fresh med-
ics, the count being 17 to seven. The
junior engineers set the juniors of the
law department down a notch, the to-
tals being 18 to eight.
The fresh lits outclassed the junior
team. The winners scored 14 field
goals in the game, 11 df these coming
in the second half. Nathan and Drum-
mond were the chief point-getters for
-the 1918 men, while Warner occupied
the chief role for the losers.
Neither the senior dents nor the jun-
ior engineers found much trouble in
defeating their opponents. Melvin
starred for the dent men, and Watson
was the big noise for the medics. Von-
achen played his usual good game
against the junior laws, for which ag-
gregation Melaniphy did the best
work.

Wilhemina lecturer of Germanic lan-
guages at Columbia university, spoke
in Memorial hall last night on "The
Dutch Renaissance, with Sbme Ref-
erence to Holland's influence on Mod-

stitutions."

ALTER AWARDS TO HOCKEY MEN
Plans for Amendment of Constitution
Submitted for Consideration
Because the insignia granted to last
year's winning hockey team was
thought to resemble a skull and cross-
hones, the board of directorsl of the
athlettc association voted yesterday to
award this year's winners black jer-
seys, bearing numerals only.
Plans for the amendment of the
constitution of the athletic association'
to prevent a repetition of the ineligi-
bility trouble which occurred at the.
last election, were presented by the
committee of the board, and it is prob-
able that they will be added to the
constitution at the next meeting.
It was decided to hold meetings of
the ;board at 4:30 o'clock on Thursday
afternoon hereafter, instead of Mon-
day.
