Michigan's "Dub" track meet will be

and in its place Intramural Director
Rowe. has planned an interclass track
meet to be held next Saturday. The
men who win firsts, seconds and thirds
in this meet are to receive class num-
rals, and the winning class will be
considered campus champions.
The restrictions on eligibility are
made light in order that a large entry

are not on probation are eligible
wvith the exception of "M" men,.
"A. \L A." men and men who
have won either their fresh or
soph numerals this year. The men
who win numerals in this meet will be
held in the light of numeral men from
then on, thus barring their entry in
the "Dub" track meet scheduled for a'
week later, only men who have won'
no athletic recognition being eligible
for the latter.
All men who are eligible for the
meet are requested to sign up for their
events on the enrollment card which is
posted in Waterman gym. If the num-
ber of entries grows too large it may
be necessary to close them before the
end of the week,, but unless this hap-
pens the men can enroll for the meet
at any time up to Friday night.
According to present plans the pro-i
gram will include all of the regular3
indoor track events except the relay1
races, which are being run off underE
a different system. Dr. May will actI
in the capacity of starter and referee.
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
last two weeks with pleuro-pneumo-
nia, was discharged Sunday. He will
be unable to continue his college work
this semester, but is planning to come
back for summer school.
Rev. Tatlock Conducts Lenten Service
"Characteristics of the Four Gos-

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-
er, Stewart, Newell, Maltby, McQueen,"

TO GIVE CIVIL SERVICE EXAMS,
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
cities in this district, during the next
two months.'
The civil service commission empha-
sizes the fact that it has been unable'
to secure enough male stenographers
and typists at Washington, D. C. The
salaries of these' positions runs from
$840 to $940, with good opportunities
for advancement.
Some of the positions open, and the
time of examination follow: Chemical
engineers-$1,800 to $2,000, March 30;
technical assistant in pharmacology-
$2,000, April 6; expert mechanician-
$1,400 to' $1,800, March 17; gardening
specialist-$3,000, April 6.

ing the examinations may secure com-
plete information by addressing the

Library Receives 12 0. Henry Volumes
In addition to a set of 0. Henry in
12 volumes,.the university library re-
ceived more than 150 books from Ger-
many yesterday. This is the second
set of 0. Henry received in the last
two weeks, and was purchased to meet
the large demand for this author,
which has sprung up during the past
few months.

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.

Columbia Uniyersity Speaker Tells of
Influence of Holland on
America
TO CONTINUE TALKS TOMORROW
Mr. Leonard C. Van Noppen, Qdeen.
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-
ern Civilization and on American In-
stitutions."
He gave a brief characterization of
the Dutch people, followed by a short
resume of Dutch history, showing the
large influence Holland has had on
other nations. He said that to Hol-
land, America owes her fornulated
ideal of liberty, plan of government,
secret ballot and supreme court.
Mr. Van Noppen gave a summary of
the principle poets in Dutch litera-
ture, which serves to introduce his
lecture at 4:15 o'clock tomorrow af-
ternoon in Memorial hall, on "Vondel,
the Dutch Shakespeare, with a Dis-
cussion of His Contemporaries." His
last lecture will be at 8:00 o'clock to-
morrow evening, on "Van Eden, the
Dutch Tolstoi, and the Literature
since 1880."
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.
Junior Laws to Give Smoker Thursday
Junior laws will hold a smoker
Thursday evening at the Union. Pro-
fessors E. Holbrook and T. A. Bogle,
