THE MICHIGAN DAILYX : MAKE COURT RE0AY NS' FOR, TENNIS TEAMS I ing Surface to Be Finished Varsity Practice Before Holidays for SEASON SQUAD PICKED er he With work. on the new composition he tennis court, which is being installed he on Ferry field, progressing at the of same rate since it began last Satur- day, the surface should be finished in time for the early season Varsity he squad to take possession before the Easter holidays. ill This year's early season squad was he picked from the men who have been showing interest in tennis while in the university, and comprises only m members of the senior, junior and sophomore classes. The 'freshman an squad will -take the courts shortly ed after the holidays, and judging from he the showing of the freshmen in the All-Comers and All-Fresh tourna- rs ments last fall, the yearlings should ig turn out a good quartet. he While the selection of the Varsity he early season squad was confined to the three upper classes, it was by no means restricted to the former try- outs for berths on the Varsity team. he The chief basis of selection was the to showing of the men in the All-Comers n tournament, last fall, this being the at purpose of the tournament. Men were ed also chosen upon their showing in the a- class tennis series of last year, and he for their showing on the All-Fresh squad for the season of 1914. 11 Graduation raised havoc with the r- Varsity team of 1914, half of the men ry on that quartet being lost through re- of ceiving their diplomas. Captain Wi1- son of last year's team has purchased n- a motor ambulance, and before long- k- will be at the front in the present war g, in the capacity of a carer for the in wounded. Reindel suffered from a weak wrist >e last year, which was incurred while n winning the doubles championship of d Detroit with Roger Rankin. His wrist e is now in good shape after a winter's rest, and the little leader of the Wol- verine should be in even better play- ing form this season than he was last year. His doubles partner, Rankin, is in college, and if he can show a re- turn to form he should prove valuable Predictions as to the make-up of the, 1915 team would be out of place, it being too early in the season to see .how the men are handling themselves. It is also impossible to judge the eligi- bility of the men before the first call for candidates is made. With a fresh team, inexperienced as it must be, Michigan cannot expect to be a world- beater this year, but the new court will give the men about two weeks more of practice than the team has ever had before going east in any pre- vious season. . The squad which Captain Reindel leads this year should at least make as good a showing as did the 1914 team. PUBLISH FOUR DISSERTATIONS FROM BOTANICAL DEPARTMENT Between February, 1914 and Janu- ary, 1915, four dissertations from the botanical department of the Uni- versity of Michigan, were published in the American Journal of Botany fly Walter Lip puiann Mr. Lippmann has araet(rized his own book, "Drift and Mastery" as "an attempt to diagnose the current un- rest." This characterization fits the treatment of the subject aind marks it as a treatise on the treil of the times. It is no technical book of sociology or economics, no ponderous a nlysis of the world of today, but a loen and broad insight into the current unrest, written in a style that sa'vours of 0. Henry. It is at once a treatise and a story. Political equality, capital and labor, reform of all sorts, business, advertis- ing, and higher education each have their place in the author's considera- tion.
