Brady by a company in- cluding George McQuarrie, John Cromwell, Edward Arnold, Ned Bur- ton and others. AT THE DETROIT OPERA HOUSE Detroit Opening with tremendous success, at at the Detroit Opera Huose on-the- day, March 9, makes Bayard Veiller, the author, one of the most interest- ing figures In the world of modern letters. Hs first play "Within the, Law," established him as a playwright and made no end of records in the theatrical world. This play makes a great appeal to the ermotions and com- bines an element of mystery that makes it the most remarkablertheatri- cal offering of the year. It was reported last week that Theda Bara may shortly be furnished with an act and tried out as a draw- ing card in vaudeville, as a result of Willie Ritkhie, former light-weight champion, will probably enter vaude- ville soon. He demands $1,000 per week as a headliner. Lord Dunsany's play "The Tents of the Arabs," was presented last Mon- day night by Stuart Walker at the Punch and Judy theater, New York. e-K' o.TNBm.r daays WHA'S GOING ON TODAY 3:15--Junior lit meeting in room 205, Mason hall. 4:00--Senior lits meet in room 101, Economics building. 7:00-Junior Girls' play piactice of complete cast in Barbour gymnas- ium. 7:15-Athena Literary society meets in room 405, Mason hall. 7:30-Cercle Francals meets in the Cercle rooms.

In the report of the athletic asso- ciation for 1917-18 it was stated that all intramural athletics under the di- rection of the board, had been en- tirely suspended. Mr. Rowe, who had been director of such work, has had charge of camp athletics at Camp Custer, and such physical education as has been carried on here, was in con- nection with the military work and under the, administration of Dr. George A; May. As the report only included these activities up to July, 1918, no mention was made of its im- mediate resumption. No discussion seems properly open- ed these days without observing the lessons taught by the war in regard to intramural athletics. While it can- not be said that the war has dis- closed the need of a more comprehen- sive scheme of physical education and development of the youth of the coun- try, it can at least be said that the war and the mobilization have em- phasized such a need. Criticism of intercollegiate athletics usually comes from the basic charge that too few receive the benefits of the training; it is said that colleges should provide some system whereby all, or at least the great majority, could be so developed. If intercol- legiate athletics were to depend for their justification upon the physical development of those engaged, it would be reasonable to abandon them. Through the medium of intramural athletics, it has been the hope that the needs of the many might be reached. Very few universities have done so much in this field as has been done here. In this respect, Michigan en- joys an enviable reputation, but it is believed that much more should be accomplished. Tables prepared by Mr. Rowe show that prior to the war, about 40 per cent of the student body was engaged in some sort of physi- cal exercise under the direction of the department. Although a very good showing, complete success cannot be said to be attained until every stu- dent physically able to take part in increase the numbers materially, is a problem which had occupied the at- tention of the board for some time. Unfortunately, there is an entirely too large portion of the student body who prefer to take their recreation in stuffy billiard rooms and bowling al- leys; or in sitting on bleachers tak- ing the exercise vicariously. The de- sire to engage in physical sport, purely for the sake of the enjoyment in it-a trait of Englishmen, com- mented upon again and again by ob- serving tourists-is, according to the statistics of the athletic board, lack- ing in a regretably large percentage of American college students. The suggestion has been made, and seems to have been applied in some colleges, that some system of college credit should be worked out in in- tramural athletics. But there are ob- vious objections to such a plan, par- ticularly if credit earned in such a manner were to be allowed as a sub- stitute for academic work. However, the board in control would welcome; advice as to how the desired end may he accomplished., Woolsacks Not to Pick New Members Owing to the new system of grad- ing in the law school, the Woolsacks have been unable to pick any mem- bers. Candidates will be selected next fall instead of at the usual mid-se- mester time. ANN ARBOR CONCERN JIAKES PRODUCTS WHICH AID IN WAR (Continued from Page One) Balls of intermediate sizes were used in motor trucks, propeller thrust bear- ings, tanks, and practically every ma- chine used in the war that required a smooth and frictionless bearing. Several orders of brass and bronze balls were also put out by the local factory to be used in valves and other hydraulic machines. In one case an order for a quantity of shrapnel balls was filled. These orders, though, for war sup- plies were not directly from the gov- ernment. The local plant does not make the raceways or bearing proper so the orders for bearings are neces- sarily given to companies who assen- ble them. It is these companies that have contracted for the Ann Arbor factory's entire output during the war. After the signing of the armistice and the large orders were finished it was found necessary to lay off some of the working force, but during the last few weeks each mail has brought specifications and orders from the au- "Don't Change Your Husband" to industry which is now beginning to boom and it has been found neces- sary to increase the local factory's force, which now numbers more than 600 workmen.
