ELIS TA KEHONORS
IN RIFLECONTEST
According to Unofficial Reports Mich-
igan Loses Match by Score
of 948 to 917
MARKSMEN TO DINE AT UNION
Unofficial reports give the score of
the recent Michigan-Yale rifle match
as 948 to 917, in favor of th'e New
Haven contingent. The targets have
just been registered in Washington,
and official reports will reach Ann
Arbor later.
The margin between the two scores'
is so great that there is little possi-
bility that any change in the standing.
of the teams will be effected by a dif-
ference of a few points. Yale is con-
ceded, in popular opinion, first place
in the class "C" indoor league, having
lost none of her matches.
The official ranking is not yet pub-
lished, and it is a matter for discussion
among shooting enthusiasts, as to
whether the officials at Washington
will rank the teams according to aver-
age of team scores, or according to the
number of games won and lost. In
either case any possibility of a first
for the .Wolverine is non-existent, but
a second is assured in the latter in-
stance.
The indoor season will close for the
rifle team with a dinner, to be given
at the Union at 6:00 o'clock Saturday
night. All men interested in the rifle
team, whether members of the club or
not may attend in honor of Captain
Hussey's men.
Grand Rapids Defeats Ann Arbor High

Iii the two games tonight, the soph
lits will play the architects at 7:00
o'clock, while the junior engineers will
)attle the fresh lits an hour later. These'
four teams will probably get their
numerals, while the winner of the
second game will be declared the cam-
pus champions. Dope seems to favor
the engineers in the championship fray;
because of their experience and their
better balanced team.
On account of the large crowd ex-]
pected, the intramural authorities have
arranged for the setting up of several
bleachers to accommodate the follow-i
ers of the mid-winter sport. The
stands, which have previously been
used for the track meets, will be ar-
ranged around the center court and,
will have a capacity of about 200. 1
The chief question before the com-
mittee now is whether the classes
shall come under the plan this year.
In order to get opinions on this, in-
terviews will be sought with the board
in control of the athletic association,
directors of the Union, and members
of the board in control of student pub-
lications, organizations which, it is
expected, will come under the Campus
Election day plan. The opinion of the
classes will also be sought, though
whether this will be by calling class
meetings, or taking the advice of class
officers, is not yet settled.
A petition from Griffins was received
at the meeting, urging that for this
year, the plan be extended only, to in-
clude all-campus organizations such
as the Michigan Union, athletic asso-
ciation, board in control of student
publications, and others of similar
wide scope, which desire to come un-
der the system.
R'easons for this advice are that it
is believed the large number of class
elections would make the plan cum-
bersome, and distract the voters from
the main issues to be voted upon, and
thaL the Campus Election day ma-
chinery should be in good working
order before attempting to apply it so
broadly. On the other hand, it is said
that the class elections would draw
out more voters.
The first proposal, emanating from
the Union, made no provision for the
classes, and it was not until the stu-
dent council undertook to put the plan
through, that this new feature was
added. In view of this, it is under-
stood that the endorsements already:
given the plan will have to be recon-
sidered. The student council commit-

also a contributor to magazines, and
other periodicals of interest to moth-

Anyone interested in the subject is
welcome at the lecture, including the
general public as well as university
men and women.

Michigan's combined musical clubs
will give a concert in the Grand Rap-
ids high school on May 7, according to
a statement made yesterday by D. R.
Ballentine, '16, manager of the clubs.
Definite arrangements for the affair
have already been made.
Plans are now under way to take the
clubs to Jackson on the day following
the Grand Rapids date, but as yet
iothing definite has been decided upon.
The combined clubs will give a
joint concert with the Girls' Glee club
sometime in May, but no exact date
has been made. The annual Sorority.
Serenade has been set for May 25.
Negotiations are already under way
to take the clubs on a trip to the north-
west next year. The clubs' officialsj
are desirous of getting suggestions for
next year's posters, sent in. Any one,
wishing to enter the competition is
requested to communicate with Man-
ager Ballentine.
The old -building which has served
for an office, will be razed during the
early spring, to .allow for an expanse
of lawn for the women's dormitory
just behind it.
The building is one of the oldest of
any structures around the campus, and
served as a boarding and rooming
house before the athletic association
took possesion of it a decade ago.
The office of the association will be
moved temporarily to the large west
room on the second floor of the club-
house at Ferry field. It is hoped by
the officials, that with the proposed en-
largement of Waterman gym, office
room for them will be left in the addi-
tion. In case this is not done, the au-
thorities will look around for perma-
nent headquarters near the campus.
