The report will contain much of the material which has been gathered for the pamphlet, but will be more lengthy and will summarize the find- ings of the committee. ITHACA SQUAD.1HA9S MEDIOCRE RECORD Recent Improvement at Bat Threatens Pitching Averages of Opponents pired for the official tryouts, no "pep" has been shown yet by either the freshmen or sophomore classes in re- porting ,for the preliminary trials.,. While 96 men are needed for the relays, up to date but 26 men have re- ported for the contests, and more than half of the number needed for the tug-of-war teams still have to be re- cruited. In view of this, the student counceilmen in charge. decided yester- day to extend the time to give one more tryout for each event. The last relay preliminary will be held at Fer- ry field from 9:00 to 12:00 o'clock this morning, the men reporting at the clubhouse. The last opportunity to weigh in for the tug-of-war teams will come on Monday afternoon, from 2:00 to 5:00 o'clock, at Waterman gymna- sium. ps for the two [-Gordon, m; 3b; Bills, ss; Sutterby, rf; .

Of the seven games which have been played by the team since its return from the south, Cornell has won three and has been beaten by Bucknell, Columbia, Princeton and No- tre Dame. The total for the season stands 10 games lost and four won. The poor hitting of the team is the only thing that is keeping Regan, Bry- nt, Johnson and Russell from winning incessantly, these men being as good pitchers as have been seen at Ithaca for some time. The last few. games' have been won by the Cornellians, and with a continuance of the batting' which has been shown in these later contests the Red team should again strike its real form. If this hitting can. be sustained it bodes ill for the pitchers that face the Cornell team in the future. Clary, last year's freshman catcher, has taken the place of Schirick behind the bat. Schirick was captain of last year's nine, and his successor is con- ceeded to be even better than he. In addition to capability at receiving, Clary shows a strong tendency to hit, clipping it off at .322 for the season. Captain Donovan at short and Bills at second are the strong men in the infield, forming the duet which cares for the key-stone sack. Bills holds down short in most creditable fashion- and also gets time to hit .332 regularly. Description of Teams For the tug-of-war, three teams se- lected from the freshmen and sopho- mores, who report to be weighed in, will enter the contest. The battle will be staged at the point between the gas plant and Argo dam, west of the Mich- igan Central depot. There will be 50 men on each team. The heavyweights must weigh more than 160 pounds to qualify, the middleweights between 135 and 160, and the lightweights 135 pounds. Every freshman and sopho- more is eligible to take part in the ,contest, which will start at 4:05 o'clock next Friday afternoon. The relay obstacle races, in which the runners dive through barrels and clamber over fences eight feet in height, together with the push ball contest, will begin at 8:30 o'clock Saturday morning. Three relay teams, of 16 men each will compete in, the races, while push ball, being a "free for all," will give all the men in both classes an opportunity to take part in the big underclass fight. The student council will announce the names of the men who make the relay and tug- of-war teams, on Thursday morning. Classes Will Select Captains In order to arrange for selecting the captains for the various events, a' meeting of all the fresh and sopho- mo're class presidents will be held at the Michigan Union at 10:00 o'clock tomorrow morning for a conference with the student councilmen in charge. According to the plan of rotating the offices, the fresh lits will choose from their ranks the captains of the lightweight tug-of-war team, the sec- ond relay team, and the push ball lead- er. Fresh engineers will choose the captains of the heavyweight and mid- dleweight tug-of-war teams, and of the third relay team, while the com- bined fresh classes homeops, dents, pharmics and architects choose the captain of the first relay team. Captains of the soph teams will be (Continued on page 4.) or of the Metropolitan Opera company, will appear at the Friday night May Festival concert, taking the place of John McCormack, who has been forced to cancel his engagement here on ac- count of a breakdown in his health. Although it has been known for some time that Mr. McCormack has been -suffering from ill health, it was thought by his manager that he would be able to fulfill his engagement in Ann Arbor. But to guard against any unforseen setback in his condition, the May Festival management made ten- tative arrangements with Mr. Martin- elli, in case Mr. McCormack was un- able to be present. Definite notice that Mr. McCormack would not be able to come to Ann Arbor was received yesterday, and immediately the May Festival authorities got in touch with Mr. Martinelli and made the necessary final arrangements with him. Mr. Martinelli sprang into promi- nence a few years ago at Covent Gar- den, London, and' at LaScala, Italy, and was invited to join the Metropoli- tan Opera forces two years ago when the management of the institution was looking for a successor to Caruso, whose frequent indispositions made it apparent that a successor would be needed shortly. For a year he alter- nated with Caruso in the leading op- eratic roles, and with Caruso's depart- ure in the middle of the present oper- atic season, stepped automatically into his place as leading tenor of .the Met- ropolitan Opera company.

By a recent decision of the faculty of the Medical School, a new marking system has been adopted for use in all courses in the school. The new rul- ing will take effect at the final exam- inations of this semester. The system adopted is similar to the one in use in the literary college-A, B, C, D, E, except that D is a condi- tional mark which may be removed by examination. This is practically' the same method of grading as'is used in the engineering college. WIRELESS CHESS MATCH STILL, UNDETERMINED LAST EVENING Play in the wireless chess match between the University of Michigan and Ohio State University was re- sumed at 7:45 o'clock last evening. Ohio's last move at 2:00 o'clock Thurs- day morning was known only to Oper- ator D. A. Nichols, and was kept se- cret from the members of the Michi- gan team until the opening of play last evening. The Michigan team is hopeful of bringing the game to a close during the night with a victory in the first game of chess ever played through by wireless telegraphy.. * .* * * * * * * * SPRING GAMES unday-Class presidents meet at Union, 10:00 o'clock.

The other players on the Oberlin team do not come up to the standard of the first man. Dissell, who pairs with Wilder in the doubles, is rated next best, the Andrus brothers com- pleting the quartet.
