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."

The music ought to pull the show over." The plot of "Tres Rouge" centers around three red-headed girls and a sentimental artist, half Italian, by the name of Andrea Brezanio. Andrea has 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.
