MEN FORSYRACUSE Coach Centers Attention upon Meet with Orangemen on Saturday; Squad Feels No Ills from Last Week EXPECT STIFF BATTLE BETWEEN FONTANA AND DONAIHUE IN 440 "My young friends," began Presi- dent-Emeritus James B.

[TIES PUT QUIETUS ON NCE-MICHIGAN CONTEST Think Ufer May Run Half-Mile Two Minutes If Hard Pressed underI I Despite the rain, mud, wind and hail at Notre Dame last Saturday, Coach Farrell's Varsity track squad pulled through the meet in excellent shape, and the coach has centered his atten- tions upon the Syracuse struggle which comes next Saturday. The coach stated last night that there would be ,no trials for the Syr- acuse meet, with the possible excep- tion of the low hurdles. It is his in- tention to use everyone on the squad that he can, and only the fact that each team will be allowed but two contestants over the low sticks, makes. the trials necessary. The showing made by Fontana in the quarter mile last Saturday against Notre Dame pleased Coach Farrell mightily, for although "Stan" did not win, his defeat is attributed to the weather conditions. Fontana was lead- ing by 10 yards, but when he struck the final stretch, the combined wind and mud proved too much for him. The time was several seconds slower than Fontana did in the Varsity meet the week before. "Stan" will be up against Captain Donohue o'f Syracuse in the 440, and Michigan track follow- ers are going to see a pretty race. Max Robinson and lIuntington have both been running right on Fontana's heels, and the 440 should prove to be one of the feature events of the after- I were to ask you for what in your college life you are most grateful?' Then he proceeded to find his answei in picturing the joys of college friend- ships with the characteristic, kindly way which has won for him the title of "Michigan's grand old man," and endeared him to thousands of students and alumni. About 1,000 near-graduates 1clad in their black academic robes gathered for the traditional exercises. On the platform sat Doctor Angell, President Hutchins, the Reverend Stalker, Dean Victor C. Vaughan, of the Medical School, Assistant Dean W. H. Butts, of the engineering college, and Registrar A. G. Hall. The program opened with the invocation by the Rev. Arthur W. Stalker, of the Methodist church, fol- lowed by a solo by Chase B. Sikes, '16, and the congratulatory remarks by President Harry B. Hutchins. When Dr. Angell spoke, he touched the key- note of the occasion. "Judging from my own remem- brance," he said, "the finest thing in' college is to form intimate friendships which are a source of abiding joy through later years. It is a great com- fort for us to know that they will leave their. glow and form your strongct bond of loyalty to Michigan. For a long time, I met with four friends a few days each year somewhere by the seaside to renew old acquaintance- ships. What better hope can I wish for you than that you carry away such a blessed memory?" Dr. Angell was looking well, and appeared to enjoy the exercises. He spoke with remark- able clearness and force. President Hutchins counselled the seniors to do independent, constructive thinking, and exercise self-control. "Don't depend for the future on what you have done here," he said in part, "If you have not gathered power to think constructively and independent- ly, you have not gained much from your books. Every man who would control others must control himself first, and be able to analyze and meas- ure himself. Never has the student had the same wealth of opportunity to take a great variety of subjects. In this liberal freedom of choice, how- ever, there is the danger of over-spe- cialization. When you get out in the world, be bigger than your profes- sion." After the program, the seniors marched around the campus between aisles of onlookers, describing an M in their line of march. The procession broke up at the law building, where pictures of the classes were taken. the tug-of-war teams will be started in Waterman gym. Both first and second year men will enter the relay tryouts, which will be held from 2:30 to 5:00 o'clock tomor- row and Friday afternoons. Each man will be timed in the 220-yard dash, and three teams of 16 runners each will be picked from each of the two classes. Clair Ditchy, '15A, will be on hand to direct the running. Tug-of-war aspirants will be given their opportunity to weigh in from 2:30 to 5:00 o'clock tomorrow and. Fri- day afternoons in the gym. The cus- tomary three battles will be staged, the lightweight team including those men weighing under 135 pounds, mid- dleweight under 160 and the heavy- weight above that mark. The teams will be composed of 50 men each. It was decided at the student coun- cil meeting last night to start the re- lay races and pushball contest at 8:30 o'clock on the morning of May 22 at Ferry field. This means that the un- derclassmen will assemble on the cami-i i pus in time to leave for the field at] 8:00 o'clock. Pep for the contests will be stirred up at the fresh and sopl, mass meetings to be held at 7:00 o'clock in the west physics lecture- room on Wednesday and Thursday nights of next week, respectively. Car- roll B. Haff, '15L, will be on hand at both of the meetings, while Earnest F. Hughitt, '15, W. D. Cochran, '16P, and George Sisler, '15E, will address the yearlings, James Raynsford, '15E, Edward Saier, '14L, and E. P. Mc-" Queen, '15E, taking the'task of liven- ing up the second year men. t The student council will take only1 general supervision over the all-cam- pus selection, to be held from 8:00 tor 1:00 o'clock on May 29 in the corridors of University hall. The council de-< cided not to extend their activities-at the election further than acting as judges of the polling and the advertis- ing of the election.t EAST LANSiNG, May 11.-Coach MacklIn's men have been looking for- ward to the Michigan game since the opening of the Aggies' season, and; have been bending every effort to get into the best possible condition for the opening game of the series with the Wolverines tomorrow. There are those among the Aggie supporters who expect to see their nine romp away with a victory over Coach Lundgren's men, and the team itself is not lacking' ii confidence. . Three good reasons for the confi- dence of the M. A. C. boys are Sprin- ger, Weeder and Miller, the slab art- ists for Coach Mackim. Blake Miller won his opening game against Albion, while Weeder has been working in good shape, winning three out of the four games he has pitched. The game that counts against him is the 4 to 3 overtime session with Syracuse. Springer has tbe best record of all of the ,.- A. C. twirlers, having pitch- ed the last three innings in each -of- the last five games, prior to the Syra- cuse contest. In addition, he worked three innings at the beginning of the year, making a total of 18 rounds for the lad. h alf of the men put out in this time have been struck out by him.. On top of this he has allowed the op- Ionents but seven hits. Macklin has been saving him, and he may be ex- pected to face Michigan.' In addition to a strong pitching staff, M. A. C. boasts six regulars on her team who are all clouting the ball for an average of more than .300. In the field the nine looks almost as well, having an average of less than one er- ror to a game. With all these assets to favor them, the Lansing rooters are putting hopes of a victory into their caps and are preparing to invade Ann Arbor with their team. At least 100 rooters prob- ibly will make the trip with the team. industry, said, "Men soon forget the idea that they are going to amehorate lalbor conditions, and set out on the highway of profits. Greed for gain lowers the general moral." The other causes which he gives for the failure of ce-operation in production are bad organihation, faulty business practic- es, -iadequate capital reserve, lack Qf proper. markets and a gross failure to aporeciate mianagership.
