Six Runs
Ithaca, N. Y., May 17.-Michigan lost
to Cornell today 13-6 in a game that
made the score book look like a crazy;
quilt. Everything that ever happened
in a ball game took place and some
things that nobody had ever heard of
before'were on exhibition. Miller
started for the Wolverines and got
away fairly well for two innings by
allowing Cornell' only one run in each
frame. Robins went in in the third
stanza and took his share of the pun-
ishment by walking one, allowing four
singles and two three baggers, all of
which netted the Ithacans five runs.
In the fourth, with two down, Michi-
gan started what looked like a rally
when Brandell, Caswell and Thomas;
all got singles, filling the bases. Dunne,
however, struck out, retiring the side.
In the fifth the Wolverines shoved
across four tallies. Newell doubled
to deep center, and went home when
Sauters threw wild to firat in an at-,
,tempt to retire, Ohlmacher. Eckley
repeated the performance on a ball
hit to him by Niemann, Qhlmacher
taking third. Walterhouse was hit.
Labadie popped up a high one to the
catcher. Brandell doubled to center,
scoring Niemann, Walterhouse and
Ohlmacher. The next two batters
filed out. Cornell gleaned six singles
in the next two innings, netting a run1
in each. Again in the seventh they-got
three on three singles, a double, and a
balk bytOhimacher. Michigan scored
one in the eighth on an error, a walk
and a passed bal.
In the ninth Brandell singled and

LEHIGH DEFEATS WOLVERINES
Soft Courts, Wind, Lack of Practice,
Contribute to Downfall
Soft courts, a high wind, and strong
playing by the Lehigh tennis teani
combined to defeat the Michigan Var-l
sity yesterday by a 4-2 score. Yester-1
day was the first sunny day since last
Saturday, and the first chance the
team has had for a workout in three7
days, which also helps to explain the
Wolverine defeat.
The team meets Lafayette today, a
team which recently defeated Lehigh
with ease.

meat of Straw Hat Day;
"I told you so!"P
Yes, the old crowd was on deck
again yesterday when almost mid-De-
cember weather made the boys packj
up their new straw hats, and turn
sadly to the old felt.
"I've never seen it to fail," hissed
the fellow with the sore tooth. "It
either rains, or snows, or-Oh, some-
thing always happens to take the joy
out of life. Doggone it all."I
But cheer up, old sport. Things
aren't so bad after all. It may be hot
in California, but it's a good bet that
the boys from Leland Stanford have
never seen' a Michigan Straw Hat Day.
So for their especial benefit Straw Hat
Day's going to be held off until Sat- -
urday..
Everybody wear one!
Adopt Army Bill
Without Trouble
Republicans OpposeProvision for Vov.
ernment-Owned Nitrate
Plant
Washington, May 17.-After a live-
ly discussion of the Mexican situation,
the national guard, and the proposed
government nitrate plant, the Senate
today adopted the conference report
on the army reorganization bill, with-
out a roll call. The bill provides for
a regular army of 211,000 officers and
men at peace strength, and approxi-
mately 260,000 men at war strength,
and for a federalized national guard
of 457,000 officers and men at maxi-
mum strength. Republicans, gener-
ally, and a few Democrats, expressed
their hostility at the retention of the
provision for the nitrate plant, which
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts said
was intended more for the develop-
ment of a southern motor car &oncern
than for the manufacture of gunpow-
der.
The bill, he said, was wholly inade-
quate in its provision for the regu-
lar army.

The men of 1919, though few in num-

most spirited and enthusiastic "pep"
sessions in recent years.
Approximately 300 of the first year
men gathered together in West Phy-
sics hall to hear the new rules for the
spring contests explained, and to hear
how different contests were conduct-
ed in past years, but from the moment
the freshmen had selected their yell

Student Arrested
Later, during a demonstration by a
number of freshmen in front of the
Orpheum theater, the police took into
custody J. H. McLean, '19E, who is ac-
cused of throwing an egg which soil-
ed an officer's uniform. McLean was
later released when identified by E. C.
Flanders, a local flOrist.
Tonight at 7:00 o'clock, the sophs
will try to outyell the freshmen at
their meeting in West Physics hall.

FIRST BLANK SIGNING BRISK
Furthering the plan to discover how
many students are in favor of petition-
ing the Board of Regents for the open-
ing of Ferry field on Sunday after-
noons, blanks similar to those posted
in various places about the campus
yesterday have been sent to the frat-
ernities and clubs.
While the signing of the blanks al-
ready posted about the campus has
been going on briskly, the feeling is
prevalent in some quarters that ndt
enough of the undergraduates are be-
ing reached by this method, and as a
result, the secofid set of petitions has
been issued.
Iihmediate action has been urged,
in order that the petition might be
presented to the Board of Regents at
a meeting in the near future. The
petitions will be collected this after-
noon.

Namiquipa, Mexico, by motor truck
to Columbus, New Mexico, May 17.-
Failure of the American forces to cap-
ture or kill more bandits since enter-
ing Mexico on the chase after Pancho
Villa and his men has been due to
lack of guides. Natives had to be de-
pended upon at first and they were
afraid, if not absolutely unwilling, to
furnish the desired information or to
act as guides through the gorges and
canons which it was believed the ma-
rauders were using as daylight hid-
ing places.
Go About Without Scouts
The same condition of affairs still
exists so far as the natives are con-
cerned, but the officers and men have
spent so much time exploring the
country that they are able to get
about now without trusting to na-
tives, or even to the American scouts
brought from the border, whose knowl-
edge of Perrain was mostly based upon
the fact that at some remote period
