for Wood; Wood has been accustom-
ed to click his heels and yalute all
his life; Johnson has been trained
to the law and is a diplomat; let us
have an American in the White
House whom we know; Senator John-
son is a constructive man of high
ideals."

LIMITE' D TO HOUR
NO
Chicago and Michigan will clash in'
their annual indoor track meet at 8
o'clock tonight in Waterman gymnas-
ium. The wits and ability of Coach
Farrell will oppose those of Coachj
Stagg. Captain Carl Johnson will
match his men against the men of
Captain Speer. A meet of the keenest
competition and the highest interest
is certain to result.
Coach Stagg will bring with him a
squad of some 28 men, against which'
a team of 30 will take the floor for
the Varsity. Chicago is coming here
with the intention of turning the tables
of the last two. years and avenging the
numerous defeats which Michigan has
administered to Maroon cinder squads.
An equal determination to repeat its
former victories has been apparent
during the practice of the week among
the members of the Varsity squad and
Coach Farrell is satisfied that his
men will acquit themselves in a re-
spectable fashion.
Eleven Events
Competition will be held 'in 11 dif-
ferent events, including-an eight lap
relay race in which each man will run
two laps. The program contains the
following events: 50 yard dash, 60
yard high hurdles, 65 yard low hurdl-
es, 440. yard dash, 880 yard run, mile
run, two- mile run, high jump, pole
vault, shot put, and relay race.
Whether bach team will be limited
to four men in each event has not yet
been determined.
Chicago is strong in the distances
and it has a weight man who is the
undisputed champion in the Confer-
ence, Michigan is strong * the floor
events, particularly in the hurdles,
pole vault, dashes, and high jump.
For the two mile, Coach Stagg has,
three good men in Otis, Bowers, and
Haskins Moore. Steve is lacking in
good men for the event but Schlmniel,
Mosher, and Penberthy can be counted
on to offer all that they have.

Tickets for the Chicago track meet

Statements made by Miss Melinda
Alexander, leader of the Liberal
movement in the Chicago district, and
assistant secretary of the committee
of "Forty-eight," were received with
protests by a part of an audience .of
250 students, as well as several fac-
ulty members, at a meeting held in
Lane hall at 4:15 o'clock Friday aft-
ternoon.
Many Ex-Service Men Present
Among the audience were many ex-
service men, who voiced their indigna-
tion .and disapproval of Miss Alexand-
er's statements. Stamping of feet and
incessant hissing were causes of con-
stant interruption to the speaker.
Although she did not cast direct
slurs upon the American Legion, Miss
Alexander's remarks were indirectly
aimed at discrediting that organiza-
tion, and she also made insinuating
statements concerning President Wil-
son, General Wood and other men of
national prominence, it is said.
SCritlcizes Wilson
"Woodrow Wilson, representing the
interests of the American people, de-
layed the return of the railroads to
the private owners two months, at the
expense of the common people and to
the financial benefit of the owners,"
declared Miss Alexander. About Gen-
eral Wood, -she said, "General Wood
has, on several occasions, declared
himself opposed to free speech and
free press."
Prof. Hobbs Protests
At this point, Prof. W. H. Hobbs, of
the geology department, who was pre-
sent, interrupted the speaker, saying,
"My purpose in coming here this aft-
ernoon was to learn something about
the committee of "Forty-eight" and
its purpose, but up to this time I
have learned nothing. I have been di-
vided in my feeling between indigna-
tion at what Miss Alexander has said,
and admiration for her pluck in con-
tinuing in the face of such obstacles.
The speaker has done nothing this aft-
ernoon but cast slurring remarks
about some of the most distinguished,
most learned and most sincere men
of the country." Miss Alexander in-
vited any member of the audience to
come up on the platform and disprove
her statements. No one offered to do
so.
After the meeting, David H. Fink,
instructor in the department of sociol-
ogy, expressed himself as "ashamed of
the action taken by one of those pre-
sent in approving of the students'
rowdyism." He declared that such an,
'unsportsmanlike attitude was against
the oldest traditions of Michigan.

next year was taken up, but action was
postponed until the next meeting,

port of a committee appointed for the
purpose Friday will be given.
