"AMA" RELUTION
Ex-Captain Thinks Recommendation
by Athletic Board Will Make
Necessary Distinction.
TAKE ACTION ON QUESTION SOON
"There should be some step between
he football"M" and the "R,"" said ex-
Varsity Football Captain James
Raynsford yesterday, in referring to
the recommendation sent by the board
of directors of the athletic association
*o the board.of control at its last meet-
ng. The recommendation provided
or the award of an athletic associa-
tion "M," the "aMa," to the men on
the Varsity squad who did not win
heir "M's"
"An effort should be made to dis-
tinguish between the few men who
land on the Varsity squad and yet fail
to play enough' big games to earn a
egular "M," and the many men who
earn a right to wear an "R,"" said
Raynsford. "I am heartily in favor of
the recommendation of the board of
lirectors, anol hope that the board in
control will see fit to adopt it."
Raynsford is the second Varsity
football captain to endorse the resolu-
ion, Captain Cochran, of the 1915
leven, stating that he was in favor of
t last week. In view of the fact that
here have been found no objections
o the plan other than the possibility
hat the, "aMa" men could cut off the
wo a's and keep the "M," it is fairly
ikely that the board of control will
dopt the plan determining the in-
signia in some sort of mnogram in
which the a's are woven into the M.
It is expected that the board will
ct on the recommendation at the
ext meeting, which is scheduled for
he near future.
INTERCOLLEGIATE
Convocation hour at Cornell saw the
assing of a vote which practically
assures a representative student coun-
il. The student body almost unani-
uiously voiced its approval of the plan.
Members of the faculty board of con-
rol of student affairs also corrobo-
'ated the student vote because it has
tlways been their policy to allow self-
;overnment as much as possible. For-
nerly the control of student affairs
vas carried on through the medium of
ndergraduate organizations.

FAMOUS ATHLETES TO GIVE
DEMONSTRATION ON MAY 20
Coach Lundgren is anxiously await-
ing t1e afternoon of Thursday, May
20, when he will have a chance to
view 18 possible contenders for Var-
sity baseball honors in action. There
will be men from all classes, from
sophomores to distinguished post-
grads. And it is rumored that many
of them have had years of experience
with some ofthe country's best ball
teams.
For several weeks the two teams in
question have been holding secret
practices in remote parts of the city.
Outfiedrs have been chasing long
flies all over immense lots, while
snappy infielders have busied them-
selves with hot ones from the bats of
veritable "Ty" Cobbs.
But it is the pitchers who will fur-
nish the sensation. It is reported that
Matty's "fade-away'" is one of the
easiest balls that they both throw. And
speed and control! When the box
scores come out "Smoky Joe" Wood
will hide his head in shame, and retire
to the bush league.
Who are these wonders with the bat
and glove, you are probably asking?
None other than the members of The
Daily and the Gargoyle, preparing for
their fray of the twentieth. .And the
pitchers? Hiram Beach Carpenter and
Waldemar Alfred Paul John. The lat-
ter is reputed to be able to hit a squir-
rel at a distance of 100 yards. The
Daily is considering the advisability
of having two outfields, one behind the
other, while the Gargoyle, confident in
its star hurler, will dispense with out-
fielders, and merely use a catcher,
shortstop and first sacker.
LACK OF QUORUM POSTPONES
HONOR COMMITTEE MEETING
Because a quorum could not be se-
cured, a meeting of the honor system
consideration committee of the engi-
neering college, held last night, was
postponed. The meeting probably will
be held Sunday or Monday. The ma-
terial which is to be printed in the
pamphlets to be issued by the com-
mittee, will be revised at this time so
that the booklet can be published as
soon as possible.
a campaign against the ravages of
typhus fever is being carried on. These
men and, several more groups from
other colleges will leave for Serbia
on May 13.

Columbia University has joined the
Presbyterian hospital in planning to
erect a new medical school at an ex-
pense of $10,000,000. The buildings
are to be put up on the site of the
American League baseball grounds on
New York's upper West Side. Of this
sum, Columbia will contribute $7,500,-
000, it is stated, and a five-year limit
has been set for the raising of the
entire amount. The authorities of both
institutions have committed them-
selves to the task of collecting and
have already obtained an option on the
ground.

Notice.
At its May meeting the Board in
Control of Student Publications will
choose a business manager and man-
aging editor for the Michigan Daily
and the Gargoyle, respectively. It is
the policy of the board in filling the
positions on the publications under
its control to award them on the basis
of merit to those who have served in
minor positions on the publication to
which the positions pertain.
It sometimes happens, however, that
no one who has served on the publica-
tion during one year is eligible or
capable of filling one of the leading
positions thereon for the ensuing year.
When either of these sets of circum-
stances arises the board finds it nec-
essary to consider outside candidates.
This notice should not be considered
as an intimation that either of these
situations will arise this year.
All applications for these positions
should be in the hands of Professor
F. N. Scott on or before May 10th, in
order to be considered. Each appli-
cation should contain a statement of
the experience of the applicant and
should be accompanied by the appli-
cant's eligibility card and any letters
of recommendation which he may have.

;Saturday,
The close call which the Orangemen
experienced at East Lansing on Fri-
day indicates that the Aggies will be a
worthy foe for the men of McQueen
when they arrive this mid-week for,
their first diamond clash of the season.
Judging from the style of ball played
by the Syracuse team on their two
appearances on Ferry Field last week,
any aggregation which can make them
take 11 innings to win is bound to fur-
nish strong competition for any nine.
The Aggies fell easy victims to the
Notre Dame squad at South Bend last
week, and for a time after that battle
the Wolverines were confident that
the Farmers would be comparatively
easy. Captain McQueen and his men
were forced to go 10 innings to beat
Harper's team at Notre Dame at the
end of the spring trip, but at that time
the Catholics did not look exception-
ally strong. #
Unless he is persuaded to change
his mind between now and Wednesday,
Coach Lundgren will probably give
Sisler and Ferguson a vacation from
mound duty and send another of his
pitching staff into the box. It has been
a long time since Davidson, Nichols,
Soddy, McNamara or Caswell have had
a chance to work, in fact, "Tom" and
"Bill" are the only two who have ap-
peared before a Michigai rooting sec-
tion this year. The Aggies are not
noted as strong batsmen, and the
coach may venture a try with one of
his youngsters, saving his best bets for
the battle with Cornell Saturday.
A victory over the Aggies, so far as
the rooters are concerned, will be a
welcome addition to Wolverine ath-
letic trophies. They haven't forgotten
the unexpected win of the Farmers
last year on Ferry Field, and a re-
venge would ,be more than appreci-
ated. The coming game is the only
clash of these two teams on the
Ferry Field diamond, for the other two
battles will be played on the M. A. C.
lot in East Lansing later in the sea-
son.
Coach Lundgren is intent on win-
ning the Cornell game, for on its re-
sult depends in a large measure the
Michigan claims to a second national
collegiate championship. The Ithacans
have not shown their 1914 form thus
far during the present season, but
nevertheless a decisive victory over
the visitors will go a long ways in
stamping the Wolverines as the coun-
try's best college ball players for this
year. The showing with Syracuse was
not the kind to weigh heavily with the
so-called eastern experts who each
year take it upon themselves to pick
a national champion, and for this
reason the necessity of a victory over
Cornell is very pressing.
all of his matches so far in decisive
style and having proved his ability in
sets with the Varsity men. Sherwood
is also a man of no mean ability, hav-
ing won all of his matches easily, but
being handicapped by scholastic
standing. For this reason alone it will
be impossible for him to take part in
any of the matches the freshmen may
have this season. Sherwood came
from Exeter Academy where he was
one of the best members of that
school's championship team. He play-
ed with Herd while in that school and
won his way to the semi-finals of the
eastern interscholastic meet for ten-
nis men. Herd hails from California
and was a member of the Cornell ten-
nis team last year.
Epstean has played good tennis so
far, and by winning his last match,
was enabled to go to Albion yesterday
in place of Stocking, whom he defeat-
ed. Coons, who comes from the
Hoosier state, is one of the best men
on the team. He got his degree from
the University of Indiana last year and
is taking a post graduate course here.
While at Indiana he was a member of
the doubles team which won the state
championship, and, as such, is a valu-
able addition to our freshmen team.
Stebbins, although defeated by Sher-
wood in their last match, is a capable
player and owing to Sherwood's in-
eligibility -he will be the fourth mem-
ber of the team as now chosen.
Taking everything into considera-
tion and keeping all styles of play in
mind, the 1915 All-Fresh tennis team
should be the best success in years,
and all of its members should be a
valuable additioneto next year's Var-
Mity squad.

Clara Kimball Young in "Hearts in Exile"

B.Y.D. HAIR CUTS
Editor, The Michigan Daily: -
The fire laws of this state arede-
cidedly lax. Thursday night abort 50
persons attempted to leave the Sarah
Caswell Angell hall by the " "o-el" d"
front exits. They went dowa' Mti
to the gym, only to find every 2or or
window that leads into the -ain part
of the gym, and from there o't, lock-
ed.
After trying for about five minutes
to get out some way, they went back
up-stairs. But the crowd was just be-
ginning to leave; I believe it took
fully five minutes for the crowd to get
out; and they were shoving as hard
as possible at that. It seems to me
The World Film Corporation has
released the 5-part photo-drama,
"Hearts In Exile," based on a
novel by the late James Oxenham.
Clara Kimball Young is the
heroine of the play, which is Rus-
sian in theme and sentiment. She
plays the part of a girl lawfully
wedded to two husbands both of
whom are sincere in their regard
for her. This situation is the
strong point of a play which is
full of dramatic situations.
Miss Young has perhaps the
most arduous role of her'career
in the part of the beautiful Hope
Ivanovna and her environment in
which she is placed is deeply ro-
mantic and exciting. The power
of Russian police officialism;
cruelties to political and other
prisoners who are exiled to Si-
beria, life in convict stations; Cos-
sack fights and a wolf chase are
some of the incidents of the in-
numerable scenes of the drama.
Many of the settings were taken
during the past winter when the
snow was on the ground and the
water was covered with ice. The
gloomy life of Siberia; long, strn
chases over frost bound rivers;
are shown in the picture.
Artistically and dramatically,
Miss Young does the most ambi-
tious and trying work of her ca-
reer. This wonderfully gifted and
beautiful young woman is never
satisfied with her work; success
to her always meanspan incentive
to do something better and more
effective for the satisfaction of her
millions of admirers.
As Hope Ivanovna in "Hearts in
Exile," she becomes a veritable
tragedy queen-pathetic, suffering,
anguished, appealing and always
lovely. She is an attractive figure
to the eye and holds her audi-
ences spellbound by the intensity
of her acting.
"Hearts in Exile" is a strong
story which has been produced re-
gardless of cost. The director was
James Young and the supporting
cast numbers many hundreds.
