on the condition that the Italian cou-
sin, Andrea, writes a poem and has it
accepted by the "A4tlantic Monthly." It
is further provided that it must be ac-
cepted before he is 25 years old, which
only leaves him two months to com-
plete his task.
Andrea, who is very sentimental,
conceived the idea that he cannot write
another line until he has fallen in love
with a red haired wonan. So in order
to make him write, Mrs. Gregg invited
Auburnia Grey to visit there also. The
two boys costume their girls in red
wigs; Andrea writes the poem, has it
accepted, and all lived ever after in
the customarily happy manner.
Mr. John also expressed himself as
being well pleased with the way Di-
rector Morgan had handled the play.
"He hasn't been arbitrary at all." was
his comment, "and is far different from
my first conception of producers."

Michigan's 1916 Varsity baseball
team is still in the speculative stage
and practice has not yet advanced far
enough to make any sound predictions
as to the caliber of the aggiegation
which will represent the Maize and
Blue on the collegiate diamond this
year, yet Michigan men are confidently
expecting to see a strong combination
open the season on Ferry Field.
As far as can be seen from
present conditions the team should ful-
fill the expectations of the student
body and do credit to the name of the
university.
Coach Lundgren is expecting a
strong team, basing his hopes and con-
fidence on the spirit of the candidates,
the quality of last year's scrubs,
and that of the new material which is
showing up to advantage this season,
Although George Sisler and Charley
Ferguson are lost to the pitching staff,
yet that fact in no wise puts a damper
on the prospects for a good twirling
squad for this season. McNamara has
been working out regularly and prom-
ises to be in better form than ever be-
fore and it is very probable that he
will be called upon to do the major
part of the hurling this year.
A possible successor to Ferguson
nay be found in McAllister, whom Cap-
tain Labadie describes as the tall
twirler's prototype. Andrus and Rob-
erts are numbered among the coach's
best prospects for the pitching staff.
Roberts has been touted as one of the
strongest twirlers on the campus, al-
though he has never been seen in ac-
tion being ineligible for last year's
All-Fresh baseball nine, and his work
in practice this year indicates that he
will prove to be as good a pitcher as
he is reputed to be. A good prospect
is missing in Getts, the heavy mound
worker of- last year's yearling team,
who cannot become a candidate for
the Varsity on account of heavy schol-
astic work, yet it is expected that an-
other pitcher can be found to fill the
place he might have occupied on the
team.
The great problem of building up a
team this year lies in finding a suffi-
ciently strong battery. "Jack" Ben-
ton left a big hole to fill behind the
plate when he graduated and no small
part of this problem lies in developing
a man to step into his shoes. Two
strong bidders for this position are
"Rummy" Roehm, of last fall's Varsity
football eleven, and Duke Arentz, who
was Benton's chief understudy on the
1915 Varsity baseball squad. Both of
these men appear to be the logical suc-
cessors to the former catcher and both
are showing real goods on the Water-
man floor. It is not very probable
that "Johnny" Maulbetsch will be seen
in a baseball uniform this year.
Two sons of former Michigan base-
ball stars are numbered among the
candidates for the team, and the coin-
cidence is that they -are both named
John. J. D. Hibbard won his "M" for
baseball in 1883 and now his son is
out with the intention of duplicating
the achievement in 1916. George P.
Codd, ex-mayor of Detroit, received his
letter from the Michigan Athletic As-
sociation in 1890, and again in 1916
a younger Codd appears as a Michigan
baseball candidate. Both of the mem-
bers of the younger generation bid fair
to repeat the performance of the
former.
Three veterans must form the nuc-
leus of the Varsity aggregation, Cap-
tain Labadie, Brandell and Niemann,
who are practically sure of a berth
and are expected to make up the
foundation of the team. These men
are to be the boys with the terrible
clout, and the men who will probably
be the heavy artillery in the Michigan
attack. All of them are showing un-
usual speed and from the present out-
look should furnish some stellar exhi-
bitions on the bases during the ensu-
ing season. At least one consistent
sack pilferer should be developed from
the trio, and dopesters are prophecying
all sorts of thrillers for their work on
the bases.
Newell and Caswell promise a race
for the regular berth at the initial sack
while Smith appears to be a good bet
for second base. Eaton and Thomas
afford the campus fan some material
for favorable discussion and the pair
have evoked quite a bit of such gossip
already.
All in all, Michigan should experi-
ence one of her best baseball years in
1916.
Jvorgan TO Leave
After First Show
Weaver to Take General Charge of
Opera When Director
Leaves
Director Charles P. Morgan will re-
main for the first night of the opera,
and then will leave for new fields. A
week ago he pronounced the produc-
tion rcadly for the stage, but he has
filled in the interval smoothing out
rough parts in both cast and chorus
work.
During the remaining performances
General Chairman Theron D. Weaver,
'16E, will assume charge. Several
years' experience back of the scene at
the Detroit Opera House render him
peculiarly fitted for this task.
With the depar-ture of Mr. Morgan,
the producer, responsibility will lie en-
tirely in student hands, and the effi-
ciency of the opera organization will
be put to its first real test.
LOCA L A LLUSIONS TABOOED
IN 19161 UNION PRODUCTION
Opera Still Retains Local Touches
But Has More Professional
Tendency
Mindful of the fact that local allu-
sions tend to destroy the effect of the
opera when presented in other cities,
the committee in charge decreed that
all purely local references should be
tabooed by the writers of this year's
opera.
Not that the show will lack local
flavor, but puns having for their
point smne minor campus tradition
that could not possibly be interpreted
by an outsider are considered not in
keeping with the spirit of the perform-
ance.

Hats are to be Green, Pearl, Stone, Dark Brown and
Olive in color, with creased crowns, and brims on the flat
order, which may be worn natural, dipped, or negligee;
these will be the prevailing modes this Spring.
We make a hat and sell it for three dollars which has
the quality of those usually sold for four. While manufactur-
ers generally are lowering the quality of their hats on ac-
count of the scarcity of dye stuffs, we are continuing to put
the best material into our merchandise. -
All clothing merchants have good hats, but one can
always find a better selection, more of the up-to-date styles,
get better quality and better attention for his money in an
exclusive hat store than anywhere else.
We do all kinds of. hat work. Your last season's hat can
be reblocked,.into the new fiat brim, with a new band and
save you two or three dollars.
We solicit your patronage and invite you to inspect our
unexcelled line of Spring head-gear. We shape hats to fit
your head, and give every attention possible to make the
purchase of a hat in our establishment a pleasure and a last-
ing satisfaction.
