Coach Ray Fisher swung his heavy
ibatting artillery into line yesterday
afternoon with "the result that Michi-
gan Agricultural college was defeat-
ed on Ferry field by an 8 to 5 count.
Ten clean swats combined with 3 Ag-
gie errors went to make up the total
of Wolverine scores,, while the sud-
den blow-up of Schultz in the ninth
inning, aided and abetted by Roby,
brought the two Farmer rumis previ-
ously made up tp the final score.
Schultz pitched beautiftul ball until
the seventh, allowing but. two hits,
while the splendid backing accorded
him by his team-mates, who produced
a piir of double plays, permitted but
3 men an inning to face him. Michi-
gan, on the other hand, found Kuhn
easy picking and had little less diffi-
culty in finding Ross, who succeeded
him in the fourth.;
Two Miclitgian Tallies .
The Wolverines scored first in the
second frame. Karpus raised the cur-
etain with a neat single, Klein sacri-
ficing him to second. Poor handling
4f the ball by Oas, Aggie catcher, al-
lowing him to reach second when
Genebach dropped one off his bat in
front of the home plate and reached
first in safety, while Karpus, conti n
uing, rounded third and crossed the
" plate. Geneba~ch, w ho had advanced
to second during the; attempt to catch
' Karpus, scored on Roby's single.
Roby leaped into the limelight with
a vengeance in the fourth when he
took a liking to one of Kuhn's offer-
ings, and drove it in the general di-
rection of the tennig courts beyond,
center field for a home run after Gene-
bach had fied out. Schultz was hit,
"but went ,out on an. attempted steal,
and Uteritz, attempting to duplicate
Roby's feat, got as far as third. Van
Boven walked, and Kuhn received the
high sign, retiring from the mound
in favor of Ross. Perrin ended the
inning by sending a roller to first.
Ninth Inning M. A. C. RaMy
Three hits -and 1 error divided be-'
tween the fifth and sixth innings ac-
counted for 5 additional runs to bring
Michigan's total to its final result.
M. A. C. scored first in the sev-
enth. With one down, Schultz hit
Willman,, who scored when Fullen
tripled. As single by Brown sent the
latter across the final mark. Schultz
then settled down and fanned John-
son, Brown making the third out when
he was forced at second bn Pacynski's
Infield grounder. S1i the ninth the
Farmers lit on Dick with a ven-
geance. McMillan, Willman, Fullen,
and Brown, the first four men to the
plate,. singled successively, with the
first two counting. At this juncture
Liverance ascended to the slab. John-
son fanned. Pacysinski did likewise,
but was safe on Roby's error of the
third strike and his poor throw to
Shackleford. Carr likewise fanned,

LAST LECTUREOF HISTORY
DEPARTMENT THIS YEAR
An explanation of the contents of
the Roger Bacon cipher manuscriptS
brought to America by Wilfred Voy-
nich, of London, will be given by,
Prof. William Romaine Newbold, of,
the philosophy department of the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania, in an . ad-
dress to be delivered at 4:15 o'clock
this afternoon in the Natural Science
auditorium. The drawings in the
manuscript, of which there are more
than 30, will'be exhibited on the screen
by means 'of slides.
These drawings give evidence that
Bacon possessed a microscope of high
power and a telescope, and indicate
that he used them to study and draw
celestial and' anatomical objects,
which, as far as is now kntwn, had
never before been seen by the humans
eye and were not again seen for sev-
eral centuries.'
The speaker' will describe the man-
uscript and explain its importance to
the history of the medical and physi-1
cal sciences. He will also give the
reasons which led him to attribute the
manuscript to Bacon..
ProfessorNewbold comes to Ann
Arbor on an extensive lecture trip
which has carried him into the states
of New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Wisconsin, and Nebraska. Judging
from newspaper accounts, he has ex-
cited great interest wherever he has
talked. The lecture will be the last
one given under the auspices of the
history department until the Sum-
mer session.1
SENIOR LITS CHOOSE
2 SECRETARIES T00AYI

(By Joseph A. Bernstein)
Masques' annual production, staged
for the first timeat the Whitney thea-
ter, last night, proved- conclusively
that the theatrical attempts of the
feminine dramatic organization are
worthy of being staged in a real the-
ater and before a real audience.
Oscar's Wilde's three-act play,
"The Importance of Being Earnest",
was the vehicle with which they laid
claim to a hgh place among Michi-
gan dramatics. Oscar Wilde himself,
if he could have seen the acting of

SPEECH CONTESTS
New Men Entering University Will
Not Have to Wait Year Before
Debating
FRESHMEN COMPETITIONS WILL
BE INAUGURATED IN NEW PLAN
Freshmen entering the University
next fall are going to have an op-
portunity to continue in the speaking
work which they started in high
school without the usual lapse of a
year, according to C. M. Youngjohn
'22L, president of the Oratorical as-
sociation. Those who are interested
in public speaking are assuming a
new attitude toward campus contests
for freshmen. Speaking contests in
which freshman, only, will participate
will be inaugurated.
The old system has not given the
new men a means of showing their
abilities, except intthe annual fresh-
man debate between the two men's
literary societies.
To Give Cup
inasmuch as the Adelphi society{
took the silver cup this year for win-
ning four out of seven debates in as1
many years, it became necessary to
establish a new trophy. Consequent-
ly the Oratorical association has giv-
en a cup which shall pass to the win-j
ning :ociety from year to year and
will never become the permanent
property of any of them. Further-
more, the debates will be triangular
instead of dual affairs in the future,
since Athena, the women's society,
will be allowed to compete. The as-
sociation decided that since the wom-
en have placed three of their num-
ben on University teams during the
past five year, the are worthy of
some recognition. These debates will
be held in the spring as usual.
A declamation contest will be held
in the fall. An award which will
make it profitable for the freshmen
to try out will be given to the win-
per of this contest.rThe declamation
will be an excerpt from the speech of
some great orator.
Wants to Keep Interest
During the winter an oratorical
contest will be held, and the same
general rules apply to 1. The asso-
ciation feels that in this way the in-
terest of .the incoming men in public
speking work can b maintained in-
stead of being diverted entirely to
athletics and newspaper work.
At its last meeting the Oratorical
board passed a resolution as going on
record -in favor of the abolition of
decisionless debates.

Hasques' Annual Stage Production
Has A Real Professional Touch

the young ladies, could not have been
more satisfied with an amateur pro-
duction of~ his work than that of last
night..$
Considering the fact that even the
male parts were taken by members of
the gentler sex, the acting was al-
most perfect.- To Christine Murkett,
'22, as Algernon Moncrieff, go the
highest honors of the evening. Her
interpretation of the role could have
hardly been improved upon by a pro-,
fessional male actor.
And, too, pretty Joyce McCurdy, '22,
must be accorded most of the praise
of those who took the feminine roles.
Miss McCurdy took the part of Ce-
cily Cardew, 18 year old ingenue
demonstrating conclusively that she
has talent worthy of the professional
stage. Miss McCurdy's action was al-
most flawless.
Lessie Gaylord, '23, as the Rev. Ross
Chasuble, was possibly the best char-
acter actress (more correctly "actor")
in the production. Jeanne McPher-
son, '21, as Miss Prism, ably assisted
Miss Gaylord.
Isabel Kemp, '22, and Mary Ives,
'23, as John Worthing and Lady Gwen-
dolyn, acted well together, the for-
mer as the real Earnest of the play.
The part of Lady Brackwell, taken by
Mildred Trcik, '22, is worthy also of
special comment.

Soldiers' bonus
Passed -By Hou
(By Associated Press)
Lansing, June 1. - By unanin
vote the house today passed the Q
diers bonus bill, after several ame
mnents had been adopted. The mI
important thing was proposed by R
resentative Dr. W. Braman, of K
county, and provides that only $1
000,000 of the bonus bonds run

the full 30 years, that another $1
000,000 be retired in 20 years, a
that the remaining $10,000,000 mata
in 10 years. This change, it was a
gued, would save the state in t
neighborhood of $15,000,000 in inte
est. If approved y the senate
would necessitate reprinting of tw
thirds of the bonds, which at the d
rection of the regular session h
been issued and advertised andd ,
now ready to be .placed on the ma
