Y., March 12.-Coach Keane's track squad is in excellent shape for tonight's meet with Michi- gan, with the possible exception of Bowzer. The colored sprinter's en- trance is still a question. The Michigan aggregation is expect- ed to reach Syracuse at 11:00 o'clock this morning. The visitors will come 17 strong, without counting their coach or manager. But little has been said concerning the relay race, to which event Syra- cuse attributes her defeat last season at the hands of the westerners, when a dropped baton gave the Wolverines a lead. The Syracuse squad has an excellent relay team this season, one that has won three victories in a trio of starts. Bowzer's absence, if the colored flyer is unable to participate, will weaken the quartet to some ex- 1tent, onsiderable interest attaches itself tf t"e ple vault tonight, which should ayv to be one of the feature cards of th Agening.

BUT WAIT..II'S AT HARVARD Apparently unhampered by supreme court interference, threatened addi- tional legislative restrictions and lo- cal action, the Harvard Forum has just discussed the question, "Resolved that beer shall not be served at class functions." The vote stood 75 to 75. This question was propounded at the Harvard Forum's last regular meeting, and after a heated and strenuous de- bate upon the subject, a vote was tak- en, which resulted in a numerical deadlock. The chairman of the meet- ing, exercising commendable discre- tion and caution, refused to commit himself, and the matter was undecided. One ardent agitator held that the cus- tom was permissible as long as the student was given his choice between beer and ginger ale. This view seem- ed to meet with universal approval. Harvard may serve tea between halves, and watersin individual drink- ing cups, but her social functions are at least without the annoying restric- tions of a watchful Michigan supreme court. Then too, there has been no Straight bill introduced in the vicinity around dear old Cambridge, Mass., and the common council is Treported to be inactive. IN GOOD CONDITION- William D.

A. C. spent yes- terday in Ann Arbor conferring with Athletic Director Bartelme, and al- though no definite or official announce- ment was made following the confer- ence, it is understood that a track' meeting between M. A. C. and the Michigan fresh may result. It always has beeii the policy of the Lansing institutiola to send its track team against the yearlings, but they refused this season, and yesterday's meeting it is thought, may have ad- justed the difficulties. Although nothing has been learned through local authorities concerning the Michigan baseball schedule, an- nouncement has been made in Lan- sing to the effect that there will be the three customary baseball games between Michigan and M. A. C. The first is scheduled for May 15 and will be played in Lansing. The other two are booked for May 28 and 29, using Ferry field as the setting. It has also been stated in Lansing that the 1915 football game between the two institutions will be played on October 23 here in Ann Arbor. As far as the Lansing announcement goes, there seems to be but one game sched- uled, instead of a renewal of the three year contract. LUINDGREN PUTS BASEBALL MEN THROUGH OVERTIME PRACTICE grade principals will open March 29 and continue through April 1. Three of the best-known educational author- ities obtainable, Prof. E. L. Thorn- dike, Teachers' College, Columbia uni- versity, Prof. L. D. Coffman, School of Education, University of Illinois andt Mr. S. A. Curtis, Bureau of Education- al Research, Detroit, have been secur- ed to conduct the institute, The Michigan Schoolmaster's Club, composed largely of high school prin- cipals and teachers, and the Michigan Academy of Science will meet In Ann Arbor on March 31, and it is expected a large number of members of these organizations will enroll in the insti- tute. The purpose of the course is to acquaint Michigan educators with the newest methods and theories of educa- tion, as they have been developed in the best schools of the country. Lectures, practical demonstrations, round table discussions and confer- ences have been arranged for by the educational department. School sup- ervision and experimental tests for reading will be discussed on Monday March 29, elementary curriculum mak- ing and arithmetical problems on Tuesday, qualities of merit of teachers+ and history on Wednesday and causes of failure among teachers and disci- pline on Thursday. All meetings will be held in Saray Caswell Angell hall, and admissionI will be free. Members pf the faculty, high school teachers and stgdents in terested in educatip may attend the lectures, REMAINING TARGETS OF MAT11I TO RE SHOT THIS AFTERNOONI Seven men in the rifle match with Idaho shot their strings yesterday afternoon, leaving the remaining three targets to be shot this afternoon before the completion of the Idaho encounter.+ The five high men from yesterday's seven have a total of 913 which is about 10 better than was done by the1 five men who have had significant scores in the match of last week. our present course is to invite disas- ter; the same disaster as, or worse than, that which we met when we en- tered the Civil war and the Spanish- American war, with soft, untrained armies, thus needlessly wasting thous- ands of lives." The speaker was the Hon. Lindley M. Garrison, secretary of war, inter- preting and enlarging upon the pub- lication of his annual report. His re- port emphasized two principal rec- ommendations, in increasing the reg- ular army by 25,000 and to bring up to full strength the existing units of the mobile army in continental United States, which has been depleted in order to garrison our outlying depen- dencies. Congressman A. P. Gardner, who speaks Monday night at the Whitney, like Secretary Garrison, is one of the few men in the government today who has taken a decided stand against the present military and naval policy of; *ur country. For years Mr. Gardner has been a disciple of national prepar- edness, lining up our army and navy against the armies and navies of Eu- rope in battle array, and drawing con- clusions as to the outcome, of such combats. Tickets for lMr. Ggrdner's lecture on "Safety First--Is America Prepared Against Wal,'' are now selling at Wahr's, te Union and the Whitney theater. FRES II ENGINEERS ATTEMPT TO BETTER PRESENT MENTOR RULE Group leaders of the fresh engineers met Thursday night to discuss the bet- terment of the mentor system now in force in the college of engineering, Thursday's meeting being the first of a series which were decided upon by the leaders in order that a means of unifying the classes might be institizt ed. "Though there is still room for im- provemieot, tie mentor system has begu a grpt ruccess, in the college of; engineering," said Dr. W.

Intramural Director Rowe held pre- liminaries in two events scheduled for this afternoon's program, 27 men being eliminated from the number of entries for the half-mile and 25 entries being scratched from the list of runners in the quarter-mile. . All men who failed to answer to their names when the en- try list was called for the two events are considered eliminated from fur- ther competition in the meet. No preliminaries were run in the mile yesterday afternoon, only 12 men reporting at the scheduled time, and it being decided that preliminaries were unnecessary. The 12 candidates are. the only eligible men for this after- noon's meet in that event. Two heats were run in the lUalP- mile, six men qualifying in the first. heat and five in the second. A third heat was run against time, the men who beat the time in the best of the former heats being allowed to enter in the finals today. Mattsop and Dence qualified in the time trials, the former finishing first in 2 minutes 9 seconds. It was necessary to run three elbim' nation heats in th5 quarter-mile, the- first three men in each heat qualifying for the finals, to be run this afternoon. The men who took firsts in their heats were Campbell, Kruger and Darnell, Campbell making the record for the day with the time of 57 1-5 seconds. The baseball men's relay which was slated for production at the time of the class meet has been called off by Coach Lundgren. The summaries for yesterday affTer- noon's preliminaries follow: Half-mile: First heat-Wolf, Dillon, Miller, Davidson, Alden, Ruble; sec- ond heat-Martin, Davis, Scott, Darn- ell, Daniels; time heat-Mattson and Dence.

HOLDING OF SPRING EXHIBIT STILL DEBATED BY ENGINEERS Although Dean M. E. Cooley, of the college of engineering, and 0. W. Hall, president of the senior engineer class, have not yet conferred to make a for" mal decision in regard to the holding of Michigan's spring engineering ex- hibit, it is now almost certain that no effort will be made this year to give the exhibition. The demonstration probably will be given every two years, beginningswith next year, since it was the opinion of the faculty members and students who took part in last year's that better re- sults would probably be secured if the show were given less frequently.

The athletie assolatidh has offered a substantIal reward for the appre- hension of any person who can furnish an adequate answer to this perplexing question. There is apparently but one reason.
