Abraham Gornetzky, '17, and Mills together have written about an equa share of the music, while Seymour B. Simons, '17E, has contributed a fea- ture song, "Is That So." All the lyrics are by Sylvan S. Grosner, '12-'14L, author of the book. Gornetzky has written the opening choruses and finales, and a number of songs, of which his favorite two are "There Are No Tears or Sorrows," and "While We Go Rolling Along." W'ien interviewed, he said, "I got most of the ideas from the lyrics, and from picturing the scenes in my mind. I have aimed at melody and description, and am much pleased with the mann :r in which the songs are being inter- preted under Mr. Sanger's direction." While Gornetzky and the other writers have made some efforts along this ise before, none have ever writen for pro- fessional productions. statement to make that only a very small percent have anything" but a vague idea as to how the opera. is whipped into shape. About a month before the appear-, ance of the annual musical comedy, the men who are prospective writers for the next year's play get together, and the plan for the coming year is outlined to them.. These men then write synopses of their books, and hand them in, when they are judged by the director, who makes any nec- essary corrections and suggestions. After the germs of the books are re- turned to the writers, they complete them, and in May return them to a committee of students and faculty men, who act as judges. When the winner is announced, copies of the lyrics are given to the men who wish to compete for the mu- sic writing, and the majority of the work on the songs is done during the summer. In the fall, each writer plays his compositions before a com- mittee, associated with which are Earl Moore, Prof. A. A. Stanley and Prof. Theodore Harrison, all of the school 'of music After the corrections are made, the music is sent to the printers. Shortly after the Christmas holi- days, the director of the opera makes a visit to Ann Arbor to go over the music and book, and to outline' the scenery and costumes. Then come the tryouts for the cast and chorus, and when the director again returns, the final selections have been made, and parts have been assigned to the men chosen. About this time the committee on costumes begins to work up the de- tails of the raiment to be worn. The property men also start work with the stage carpenter and scene painter. By this time the regular rehearsal of cast, chorus and orchestra begin and are held almost daily until th first appearance of the troupe. With the start of the regular re hearsals for the cast,'chorus and or chestra, begins the final stage of the producing ,of the opera. These prac tices increase in number, until they are held almost daily about the week or so previous to the first appearanc of the play. This year it has been the chorus especially who have had to practice often, for the rehearsals are coming, sometimes twice a day, one alone, and the other time in conjunc- tion with the cast and orchestra. A~ few days before the first performanc dress rehearsals are in order at the theater, and by that time the produc- tion is considered to be in shape fo the opening night.

A battery often slows down the speed of a baseball team, and a huge, ponderous pitcher and a stocky, flat footed catcher can effectually block the base lines for any team. However, two of the fastest men on the Mich- igan squad are gracing the battery positions, this distinction .falling to George Sisler and Benton. Sisler is, perhaps, the fastest individual upon the squad, and although Benton is big and heavy, he can step around the sacks close behind "Sis." Speed and headwork on the bases show in other ways besides stealing. Advancing an extra cushion on a slip, and completing the circuit on but few clean bingles, is dependent upon speed and a knowledge of how and when to run. P.
