For the first time in the history of this year's mixers it cannot be said that the guests departed from the af- fair with sore and imposed on feet.f The fact of the matter is that the floor offered such ample space thatl the dancers did not have to resort tof the usual "treat 'em rough" philoso- phy which has been used so extensive- ly by the tank corps in a recent war Strict formality was adhered to and the committee was kept busy intro-l ducing men to "that girl over there." Misses Wood and Marion Dawley, Mrs.f Lombard and Mrs. Wallace acted as chaperones.t This was the last All-campus mixer1 to be given by the Women's leagueI this year.

HALF MILE RELAY WON BYMICHIGAN Chicago Wins Championship With S Points; Maroons Lose in Mile JOHNSON HAS BACK LUCK IN 100; WON, BY HOYT OF GRINNELL Des Moines, Ia., April. 19.-Upset- ting all predictions of the past two weeks; Michigan's half mile relay team swept to a sensational victory in the University division at the Drake relays Saturday. University of Chicago, with a first and second, for 8 points, won the championship. The Maroon runners took first in the four mile university race and second in the two mile race, which was won by Notre Dame. Mich- igan, Illinois, and Notre Dame tied in the meet for second place with five points each. Missouri University was third with tirce counters. Win Fastest Event The race won by Michigan was the fastest evea on the card, four men, Meese, Butler, Losch, and Johnson running the distance in 1 minute, 29 and 4-5 seconds, only 1 second slow- er than the record for the race set by Wisconsin in 1916. Carl Johnson, the favorite in the 100 yard dash encountered some difficulty in getting away and crossed the line in fourth place. The Michigan star has experienced trouble in running on the cinder path this year and could not equal hii former performances. The mile team entered by Michigan took fifth in that race, in a field of eight starters. Chicago was the favorite for the one and two mile relays but did not come through in either. Stagg's runners got a second in the two mile event and failed to place in the mile, which went to Nebraska.

YANK ACE COMING HERE TO TELL OF FIGHTS IN MID-AIR CAPTAIN EDDIE RICKENBACKER SCHEDULED TO TALK AT HILL AUDITORIUM FORMER SPEED KING WEARS TWO CROSSES Acredited With 69 Unofficial Victories Over German Planes; Member of Legion of Honor Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker, American ace of aces and commander of the famous 94th aero squadron, and Am- erica's greatest hero of the war, will speak Saturday evening, May 3, at Hill auditorium. Captain Rickenbacker formerly idol of the speedways, Pershing's chauffer, and winner of 26 official victories over the Huns in the air, will tell local peo- ple of his thrilling adventures in the air. Will Tell of First Victory Included in these stories will be those of his first victory in the air, of his fights against great odds, stories of his friends who fell in battle, among them the world's greatest air fighters, and of his aerial view of the battle of Belleau wood. The ace, honored with the Croix de Guerre, the Distinguished Service Cross, with Palms, and membership in the Legion of Honor, and with 69 un- official victories to his credit, is said to be one of the most modest heroes America ever had. Captain Ricken- backer insists on giving his title of ace of aces to the heroes of Belleau who he saw "lick Germany's best, The Prussian Guards." He has said on several occasions that he medals he wears should have been given to the air fighters who have made the su- preme sacrifice. Is Modest Hero Rickenbacker has won the hearts of many of his audiences since his re- turn by his modesty in telling of his own deeds and by the generous praise which he heaps upon his fallen com- rades. Tickets for the lecture will go on sale at once at Wahr's and Sheehan's. The prices are $1.50, $1.00, and 50 cents. ENGINEERS Will TEST BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION HIGHWAY LABORATORY TO TRY EXPERIMENT NEVER AT- TEMTED BEFORE Unproven theories in the line of re- infoirced concrete bridge construction are soon to be tested by the Highway laboratory of the civil engineering de- partment in an experiment, such as has never before been attempted. If successful an enormous annual sav- ing in the cost of bridge construction, will be made possible. Test to Support Weights To conduct the test a full sized bridge slab, 16 feet square and care- fully constructed of reinforced con- crete was prepared about a year ago and has since been left to season. The slab has now been supported by five 12-inch "I" beams and prepara- tions will soon be complete for the test. With the purpose in view of de- termining whether or not such a type of construction will support the great- est possible weight that it might be; subjected to, a highway bridge press- ure of 18 tons will be applied by a hydraulic press. This is estimated as a weight equal to the heaviest road roller., If the experiment proves a success bridges of this type will un- (Continued on Page Six) Boston Wins Double Header Boston , April 19. - The major league baseball season was opened here today when the Brooklyn team defeated Boston 5 to 2 in a 10 inning game this morning and 3 to 2 this afternoon.

Sciuridae Family Forsakes Campus There used to be a time a few years back, according to those who know, when certain people, politely termed eccentric, would think twice before setting out alone on a trip across the campus. But nowadays circumstances have changed. "Peculiar" persons no longer skirt warily clumps of trees that look as if they might be inhab- ited by hungry members of the "sci- uridae" family. - For a squirrel on the camnus of the University of Michigan is almost as. rare a sight as a bear or moose. Where all the little animals have gone no one seems to know, and very few solu- tions are offered. Mr. Edward C. Pardon, superinten- dent of buildings and grounds, hesi- tated about giving an opinion as to, the whereabouts of the squirrels but asserted that his department had done nothing to discourage the little ani- mals from making the campus their home. Prof. Peter O. Okkelberg of the Zoo-, logy department ventured the sugges- tion that perhaps townspeople had done their best to get rid of the squir- rels in spite of the fact that the an- imals are protected by law, because they make so much trouble in gar- dens. The logical solution seems to be that the bushy-tailed fellows have merely transferred their activities to the out- skirts of town where life in general is more quiet and restful. Case Proves No Match for Lundgren's Championship Calibre Base. ball Men AVERAGE ONE RUN AN INNING WITH EXTRA COUNTER AT END Case was no match for the Univer- sity of Michigan baseball team, in the game between the two schools at Ferry field Saturday, and was out- played in every phase of the game, losing 10-0. The visitors did not get a hit until the last inning, when Tichey, pitcher, managed to connect with one of Rube Schidler's deliveries. After Tichey, in the same inning, Seheidler drove out a clean one for two bases. Other than this the game was all one sided and only three visitors reachedsecond base and one third. The pitching of the Wolverines slab artists was the finest thing about the game. Parks started in the box and struck out the first three men. Be- fore he gave way to Glenn in the fourth inning he had made six Cleve- landers fan the air. Glenn in Rare Form Glenn also was in rare form and his cross fire delivery had the Case players guessing most of the time. He struck out four in the three inn- ings he pitched and allowed only one man to get past first. Scheider, who finished the game, excepting in the final inning, had everything his own way. Although the Case outfit does not carry an ex- traordinary string of hitters, it would appear as if Michigan is going to -have even a better pitching staff than didthe champonshp aggregaton of last spring. The hitting was not of the best al- though 10 bingles were collected. These were scattered nearly evenly through the whole team, only Knode and Cooper getting two apiece. Coop- er had to withdraw from the game in the fifth inning as he was hit by a ball thrown to catch him at the plate. Van Boven Scores First The first run came in the second inning. Van Boven was hit by the Case pitcher. He went to second when Karpus rolled a slow one down the first baseline. Van Boven scored on ;Parks' two base hit. Two hits in the 'next time at bat resulted in another run, and a walk. A hit and an error by the Cleevland shortstop made the third tally in as many innings run- ning. No more scores came until Tichey replaced Vanderhoff on the mound for the losers in the seventh. The Case team seemed to blow up and Michi- gan batted around scoring five runs, only one of them earned. Three hits and three errors, 'two of these bun- gled by the visitors' airy little short- stop, allowed Froemke, Pheney, Bow- erman, Huber, and Van Boven to ring up counters. Heath Replaces Tichey The final two scores were made in the next inning. Tichey, the unfor- tunate, was replaced by Heath. Heath started out by fanning Bowerman and it appeared as though there would be little more scoring by Michigan. How- ever, Van Boven then walked and Kar- pus followed driving out his only hit of the game. Huber also got on when Karpus was thrown out at second. Scheidler brought in bothmen with a long safety. Van Boven was the heavy scorer of the afternoon, crossing the plate three times, although he did not make a sin- gle hit. He was hit by the pitcher, walked twice and reached first safely a fourth time through a fielder's FA9CUT-STUDENT COMMITTEE MAES FIFTH LON PLAN REGISTRAR HALL'S OFFICE MADE HEADQUARTERS OF DRIVE IN UNIVERSITY EXTENSIVE CAMPAIGNS PLANNED FOR CAMPUS Class Presidents Form Sub-Committee to Canvass Class Members; Name Assistants Later Tentative plans for raising funds in the University for the Fifth Victory loan were formulated Saturday morn- ing at a joint meeting of the faculty and student committees in Registrar Hall's office. Arrangements have been made by which students may sign for bonds at the student committee's headquarters in Registrar Hall' office. The stu- dents should buy their bonds here and not at the city headquarters. There will be three days, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of next week, in which all should volunteer with their subscriptions. If sufficient money is not raised in this time, it is prob- able that a house to house canvass will be made. Campaign Planned Plans are being made by the cen- tral committee to wage an extensive campaign. Posters have been placed at conspicuous places on the campus, so that the importance of the drive may be impressed -upon the people. Talks will be given by various men and women in the fraternity and soror- ity houses. Because of the heavy work which lies before the committee, the plan of work has been enlarged. Several per- sons have been added to the central committee, which now includes: Ralph E. Gault, '21L, president of the stu- dent council, D. M. Springer, '19, president of the Union, Doris McDon- ald, '19, president of the Women's league, Marguerite Chapin, '20, pres- ident-elect of the Women's league, Emily Loman, '19, president of the Y. W. C. A., Clarence Roeser, '19, man- aging editor of The Daily, Albert Lund- quist, '19, president of the senior lit class, and S. W. Sedgwick, '19, cap- tain of the track team. There will be a meeting of this committee at 8 o'clock Sunday in the registrar's of- fice. Sub-Committees Named A sub-committe, composed of all the class presidents, who will appoint eight to 10 active workers to act as canvassers to get people to sign for bonds at the Student Committee's headquarters, has bon appointed to' assist in the work. These people will be notified by phone in order that they may at once begin work. (Continued onpage six) Yank Flies rom Chicago To N. Y. (By Associated Press) Mineola, N. Y., April 19. - Flying at an average speed at 106.38 miles an hour for six hours and 50 minutes, Capt. E. F. White, an army aviator, completed the first non-stop flight be- tween Chicago and New York at 5:40 o'clock this afternoon, landing at Haz- elhurst field. The distance covered was 727 miles. Captain White said the trip was without incident. St. Johns, Newfoundland, April 19.- Capt. Frederick P. Raynham, British aviator competing with Harry G. Hawker, Australian, for the $50,000 prize offered by the London Daily Mail for the first flyer to cross the Atlan- tic, announced late today that he would make every effort to "hop off" tomorrow as he had laid a wager that he would be in England Easter Mon- day. London, April 19.-The keenest dis- appointment is felt in Great Britain at the failure of Major J. C. P. Wood to reach Ireland, whence he intended to attempt a flight across the Atlan- tic because it had been hoped here that an airman starting from this side would be the first to accomplish the feat. It is believed certain that Major Wood's departure must be delayed greatly, for, even if his machine can be salvaged, it will take a long while to get it tuned up again. There have been conflicting reports as to how se- riously the machine is damaged, if at all. First Presbyterian Church Huron and Division LEONARD A. BARRETT, Minister Easter Services: 10:30 A.
