With a program including such speak- ers as President-Emeritus James B. Angell, President Harry B. Hutchins, I. K. Pond, Henry E. Bodman and Judge Robert F. Thompson, as well as musical numbers by Edward J. Mc- Namara and the Varsity band, it is lie- .lieved that a capacity crowd will be attracted. Mr. McNamara, baritone in Schu- man-Heink's supporting company, ar- rived in Ann Arbor Sunday. He is the .guest of P. D. Koontz, '14-'17L, and H. Beach Carpenter, '14-'17L. His ap- pearance is consideredone ofthe chief idrawving cards for tomorrow night's meeting. 'McNamara sang In Hill ;au- dito ru last year, when he was study- ing here. Since leaving Ann Arbor, he has been en tour most of the time. His voice is said to possess unusual rich- ness, and he is rated by some critics as a great find. Members of the committee in charge, of which Selden S. Dickinson, '13-'15L, is chairman, called at the various fra- ternity houses last evening, to explain the object of the meeting. These men will visit other houses tonight. It is hoped to make the affair one of gen- eral university interest, and to induce .everyman to attend. There will be no admission charge, and no attempt will be made to solicit contributions. The object is to disseminate the Union idea, and to lay a foundation for the sum- mer's campaign for the million-dollar club-house. Women and townspeople will be ad- mitted to the upper balcony only. The door men will exclude all but men stu- dents from the main floor and first balcony. The meeting is primarily for the men of the university, and they will be accommodated in the second balcony, as well as downstairs, if the size of the over-flow makes this nec- tessary.- LAST SENIOR LIT DANCE TO BE HELD TOMORROW EVENIN Will Stage "Swing-out Party" at Con- try Club; Special Car Leaves after 8:00 O'clock Arrangements have been completed 'for the senior lit "Swingout Party," and a number of tickets have already been reserved. The affair will be staged at the country club tomorrow evening, and will be the last senior party of the year.' No effort is being made by the social committee to make the party pay for itself, and but 50 .tickets 'will be sold at $1.00 each, A special car will leave State and 'ackard streets soon after 8:00 o'clock to carry the near-graduates to the dance. Special music for the occasion has been secured, and the light re- freshments will be served. Mr. and Mrs. Allan Mothersill will chaperone the affair. Tickets can be secured from Harry Gault, Chester Lang, Louis Friedman, Howard Marsh, Rudolph Hoffman and Jay L. O'Hara. Because of the size of the dance hall the number to be sold has been limited. After this noon the M4ckets remaining will be sold to mem- ,t° of other classes. TOMORROW Baseball-Michigan vs. M. A. C., Fer- ry field, 4:05 o'clock.

ODDS FAVOR MAIZE AND BLUE Michigan ought to play something besides her usual non-comital ball game tomorrow when Coach Lund- gren's men meet M. A. C. at Ferry field at 4:05 o'clock. If, the followers of the game can take the dope on the Aggies' game with Syracuse as a cri- terion of the strength of the Lansing boys, and if the Varsity is just as good a team as the Orange nine, as the last two games indicate, Captain McQueen's men ought to draw a decision in tomor- row's fray. McNamara and Davidson were both working in the box yesterday after- noon, and the choice for the man to oppose M. A. C. probably lies between these two men. Davidson, who has not worked since the Western Reserve game at the opening of the home sea- son is in need of a day on the mound, and will probably be sent against the Lansing contingent. Yesterday's practice session was marked by the presence of all regu- lars, none of whom suffered any re- verses in Saturday's game, except in their batting averages. The practice took the form of a fielding and batting session followed by a three and one- half inning game between the first and second teams of the Varsity squad. Bill Davidson, pitching for the sec- ond team allowed 'two hits and one run. He registered the only hit for his team. At the end of the session the score stood one run apiece. The score by innings and batteries follow: Innings........1 2 3 4-R H E First Team.....1.00 0-1 2. 3 Second Team ....0 0 1 *---1 1 3 Batteries: for the first team-Nich- ..*.1 Combined Clubs Return from Concert After giving two successful and well attended concerts in Grand Rap- ids and Jackson, Friday and Saturday nights respectively, Michigan's Glee. and Mandolin club returned to Ann Arbor Saturday night.

FOR BOAT CLUB REGATTA At a meeting of the Boat club regat- ta chairmenlheld atrthe Union Sunday afternoon, plans were proposed for the chartering of a special Michigan Cen- tral Railway train to carry onlookers to the regatta, and R. C. Jeter, '16E, was appointed to carry on the negotia- tions with the railroad company. It is expected that a rate of 25 cents per person for the round trip to and from the Barton pond can be arranged. It has also been arranged that local taxi companies will make the round trip to and from the pond at 50 cents per passenger. VAN LONDPICTS, SEIGE FNQWR Describes Terrible Damage Inflicted by German 42 Centimeter Shells TRENCh FIGHTING WORST PHASE Horrors of the war in Belgium were described with minute detail by an eye witness, Dr. Hendrik Van Loon, Associated Press correspondent, in his lecture on, "The Siege of Antwerp," yesterday afternoon. "Antwerp was a well fortified town," said he, "until the German 42 centime- ter guns began firing. Their shells may be compared to the Twentieth Century Limited sent hurtling through the air. When they hit, there is a ter- rific explosion and a moment later the spot has become a large pit filled with great masses of mud; sticks and hu- man flesh. Within 45 minutes after the opening of the attack two fortifica- tions, a number of churches and many houses were reduced to utter wreck- age. "The Belgians fought on for several days before considering retreat. At the end of the third day they were too tired to run away from danger and many of them were killed by stray bul- lets while snatching a few hours of much needed sleep. Above the bridge, which was the only means of exit from the town, were some large oil tanks. The Germans fired these by means of shells. The burning oil covered the bridge with such dense smoke that the enemy could not find its range, hence it was saved and the retreat made in good order. This was a very simple siege, yet 1,400 houses, many churches and several first class fortresses were blown to pieces. "Fighting in the trenches is the most ghastly part of the war. These ditch- es are 25 to 50 yards apart. They are the outposts meant to guard the big guns from attack. Day after day the men sit smoking, and fire their rifles. Because of their position, the most common trench wounds are to have the fingers of the left hand, and some- times the lower jaw blown off. When charges are made the trenches are (Continued on page 4) TEN SOPHOMORES TAKEN INTO SPHINX SOCIETY LAST NIGHT Ten sophomores were led across the burning sands of the desert in order that they might kneel before the shrine of the Sphinx, and be conducted through its portals and shown the se- crets contained therein. The follow- ing men were taken into the junior lit honorary society at the initiation which was held last night: Harold A. Fitzgerald, Donald A. Finkbeiner, Lee E. Joslyn, Howard G. Muzzy, Harold E. O'Brien, William K. Niemann, Kemp S. Burge, Cecil F. Cross, Howard A' Donnelly, and E. Rodgers Sylvester. TWORAMS PLAYED IN LASBSEAL Senior-Junior Law Game Ends in Tie, and Sophs Defeat Fresh Boilermakers THREE GAMES THIS AFTERNOON Two games were finished in the in- terclass baseball league yesterday af- ternoon, the soph engineers beating the yearlings from that college, while the junior and senior laws fought to a tie in seven innings. The senior laws started out in championship form, and counted six times in the first inning, but the juniors came back and tied the score in the seventh, when they tallied twice. The fresh engineers were no match for the sophomores, and the sophs romped away during the last two innings and won 9 to 4. The law game proved to be the most interesting of the two, and it looked as though the seniors would win eas- ily thereby making a three cornered tie, but in the last few rounds the jun- iors got to the senior twirler for sev- eral hits thus putting seven runs over in the last three innings and tieing the score.

ACTIVE PREPARATIONS BEGINI Coach Farrell took advantage of the ideal weather conditions yesterday to begin active preparations for the clash with Syracuse on Saturday, when the Orangemen will come to Ann Arbor for the second dual meet of the season between the two teams. Many of the varsity athletes and point winners in Saturday's meet took a rest or a light workout yesterday, and freshmen track and field aspirants were conspicuous on Ferry field. Sim- ons, who tied for first in the high jump event in the Varsity meet two weeks ago, took the bar at five feet 10, inches, bettering his former mark of five-six. In commenting upon the Notre Dame meet, the coach stated that while the events were won in comparatively slow time, he did not blame his men, handicapped as they were by poor weather conditions. STEKETEE WILL MEET COONS, IN ALL-FRESH TENNIS MATCH Both Players Show Consistent Form Through Tournaments; Dope Favors Coons Coons and Steketee will meet in the finals of the All-Fresh tennis tourna- ment as a result of the matches play- ed yesterday. The last contest will probably be staged at Ferry field this afternoon.. Coons beat Sherwood after a hard fight.

Alger, of Detroit, will be brought to Ann Arbor from Detroit next Saturday morning. The machine probably will be stored in the building north of the Ann Arbor Press on Maynard street. The aeroplane is a 1912 model ma- chine and was first used in Detroit by Howard Coffin, the aviator. In 1913 Coffin took the plane east, and in one of his flights sailed it around the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor. Detroit Alumni To Hold Last Luncheon According to an announcement is- sued by the Detroit alumni of the Uni- versity of Michigan, the last of their series of weekly luncheons will be held tomorrow at 12:30 o'clock at the Statler hotel. Alexander Dow, '11,' will speak at the luncheon and Waldo E. Fellows, '14, will furnish some Michigan "hits." All .Michigan men are invited to attend. wood finally winning out. Coons then took the next two sets, and the match - in comparatively easy fashion. Steketee had harder work beating Epstean than the score would indicate. Almost every game went to deuce, but the breaks of the game were with Steketee and he finally won out. The summaries: Coons beat Sher-t wood, 6-8, 6-3, 6-2. Steketee beat Epstean, 6-1, 6-3.x From comparative scores and formI displayed, the finalists of the tourna- ment should be evenly matched, with the dope favoring Coons. The latter1 is a fresh medic, who had four yearsc of experience on the Varsity tennisf team of Indiana University. He, plays 1 a good 'game 'at the net and is well able to take care of himself at the base-line. Sherwood, whom he defeat- ed, is regarded as a hard man to beat, as he has had experience on teams in I the east. Steketee has shown good form in the tourney and should make things' interesting for Coons.
