BOARD CONSIDERS' PETITION ASKING ROWING S SPOT ATHLETIC BODY REFERS RE- QUEST TO COMMITTEE FOR INVESTIGATION FOOTBALL SCHEDULE APPROVED AT MEETING Barton Pond Again Mentioned as Suitable Place for Practice Rowing may be recognized as a sport at Michigan if favorable action is taken upon a student petition sub- mitted to the Board in Control of Ath- letics at its meeting yesterday noon {u the Union. No definite decision was made by the board'upon the plans contained in the proposal but after thorough discussion it was submitted to a committee of the board, compos- ed of Fielding H: Yost, Charles B. Ducharme, and Prof. William H. Frayer, of the history department, for report at the next meeting. Boat House at Pond The plan as submitted by the peti- tion would establish a boat house on the shore of Barton pond, using the lake itself for a course of the regu- lation length, one and five-sixteenths miles. The fact that the course would of necessity be curved toward the up- per end of the pond is declared to be of no importance, as the Canadian Henley regatta is held every year on a course similar to the one propos- ed. With the present width of the lake, it could be made to accommo- date comfortably seven crews rowing abreast. The smoothness and freedom from other craft is also cited as an advantage possessed by the pond. W. A. Warner, at present coach at the Detroit boat club, and W. T. No- ack, '22, have vlunteered their servic- es as coach and assistant coach for as long a time as the Athletic association may require them. Winter training quarters for the crew could be pro- vided in Waterman gymnasium by the construction of eight rowing ma- chines, according to an agreement al- ready made with Dr. G. A. May, di- retcor of the gymnasium. More than 25 experienced oarsmen are declared by the petitioners to be on the cam- pus at the present time, with the pos- sibility of others not being included in the computation. Competition Plentiful Competition could be provided by the crews of the University of Wis- consin, the University of Toronto, Syracuse university, and seven boat clubs within short distances of Ann Arbor. In addition, the Michigan crew could enter the American Henley re- gatta in the East after sufficient train- ing and compete with such schools as Princeton, Cornell, Syracuse, Colum- bia, and the University of California. The initial outlay for equipment and the year's expenses is computed to be less than $4,500, with three shells, a coaching launch, rowing machines, and oars provided. An offer from the Huron Farms company for some land adjoinng Barton pond and favorable (Continued on Page Teu ) Noted Jiusicians Appear Here In Monday Concert Ann Arbor will be given the oppor- tunity to hear the work of two re- nowned musicians for the first time at 8 o'clock tomorrow evening in Hill auditorium, when Edwin Nyiregyhazi, Hungarian pianist, and the Detroit Symphony orchestra, Victor Kolar conducting, will give the second con- cert of the Extra Concert series. Mr. Kolar's rise from the ranks of the orchestra to his present position has proved again and again the high quality of musicianship which he pos- sesses. Mr. Nyiregyhazi also appears for the first time in Ann Arbor. He has chos- en for his offering Liszt's first con- certo in E flat major, consisting of four movements. This work of the Hun- garian composer requires not only a complete mastery of the piano, but also an almost uncanny understanding of the modern orchestra. The pianist is a strange. figure on the concert stage. Tall, thin almost to a point of emaiation, he has much the same weird atmosphere that mark- ed Paganini. With an air of utter, weary indifference to all external in- fluences, he seems almost to have reached the impassive calm of the Oriental. Yet he is all vitality once he sits before the keyboard. The orchestra will offer Tschaikow- sky's fifth symphony during the first part of the program and after Mr. Nyiregyhazi's appearance will close the program with the ballet music from Gounod's "Faust," and Enesco's "Roumanian Rhapsody" in A major, Opus 11. BAZAAR SUCCESS NETS BUILING FUND 5200 WOMEN'S CAMPAIGN COMMITEE CONDUCTS TWO DAYS' SALES More than $2,000 was realized for the women's building fund from the Christmas bazaar which was given Friday and Saturday in Barbour gym- nasium under the auspices of the campaign committee of which Neva Lovewell, '22, is chairman. The ba- zaar was well patronized and nearly all of the fancy work was sold imme- dliately after the doors opened the first, day. A final sale of all remaining goods was made at an auction late last night at which Catherine Stafford, '24. acted as auctioneer. ' The tea room was under the direc- tion of Margaret Whyte, '23,.and made more than $200. During the entire ba- zaar the fortune tellers were kept busy and the booth, which was under the direction of Lois Whitcomb, '22, made $70." Miriam Reid, '23, had charge of the bazaar, Dorothy Jeffry, '24, was treas- urer, Ruth Deemer, '22, was chairman of the marking and placing commit- tee. Martha Shepard, '22, had charge of the construction of the booths and the decorations and Katharene Mont- gomery, '22, was chairman of the pub- licity committee. A complete reporth of the bazaar will be, made Wednes- day. BiG FOUR POWERS MANOUNE TREAT Anglo . Japanese Alliance Annuled; Treaty Applies to Pacific Regions SIGNATURES, NOT AFFIXED, AWAIT NAVAL AGREEMENT (By Associated Press) Washington, Dec. 10.-A new quad- ruple agreement to preserve peace in the waters of the Pacific was announc- ed to the world today by the United States, Great Britain, Japan, and France. On consideration of the internation- al realignment, Great Britain and Jap- an' agreed to consign to the scrap- heap the Anglo-Japanese alliance, long viewed with apprehension by both Am- erica and Asia. The provisions of the pact, which is in the form of a 10 year treaty, are confined to the "regionstof [the Pacific ocean.' Under them the foreign powers are. to respect each other's island possessions, and are to meet in convocation if disputes arise, or if any of the four are threatened by any other power. Announcement of the treaty terms was made at a plenary session of the arms conference by Senator Lodge of the American delegation, and was fol- lowed by expressions of approval by the plenipotentiaries of Great Britain, France, Japan, Italy, China, the Neth- erlands, Belgium, and Portugal. The signatures of the representa- tives of the powers have not been af- fixed to thedocument, and there is an intimation that they will be withheld until the question of the naval ratio shall have been settled definitely. The naval situation remains unchanged pending word from Tokio, but there is general confidence that the approval of the American "5-5-3" plan will be made unanimous in the near future. PROFERHENDERON SPEAKER AT SERVICS CHRISTMAS EXERCISES TO BE HELD AT 7 O'CLOCK TONIGHT Prof. William D. Henderson, of the Extension service, will give a brief Christmas address upon "The Chris- tian Spirit" at the University Christ- mas service in Hill auditorium at 7 o'clock tonight.

Well Woven Plot, Clever Dancing Will Cause "flake It For Two" To fie Remembered fiy Audiences (By E. Vickery and M. Koch) With grace in every movement, unusually perfect rythm, unbelievably light feet, and make-ups which would have deceived even the most observ- ant, the chorus girls of "Make It For Two" won the hearts of the audience at the matinee performance yesterday. The stop dance, garden of girls, and maize and blue dances of the second act were particularly effective from the standpoint of grace and costuming, almost making the audience forget that the creations are worn by men. To Earl Powers, '22, and to Howard Welch, '24, as leaders of the choruses and for their solo parts, must go much' of the credit. For a solo number of real skill Jul- ian Zemon, '23, was deserving of the hearty applause awarded his soft shoe dance during an interim of the sec- and act. The atmosphere created by singing the "Victors" and by the maize and blue chorus should bring a thrill to the hearts of Michigan graduates who hear the oprea on its tour. Outside of a few touches of locaL color "Mage It For Two" gave no hints of campus colloquialisms, which should make it a great success in other cities. McManus could easily obtain new ideas for his Maggie in "Bringing Up Father" from William Sutherland, '22, who takes the part of Mrs. Houghton. Her rasping high keyed voice brought scores of laughs from the house when she unreasonably "wore the trousers" In Henry's family. To her and to James Dresbach, '24, as the masculine Amy Lowell, who sometimes obeyed the wrong muse, belongs the laurels for character interpretation. Arthur Holden, '24, carried the male lead naturally and in a simple manner, winning applause for the rich quality of his voice in his solos, especially "Loveland" and the song of the sea- sons. Costumes, settings, drops, and prop- erties are worthy of the amount of time and money spent in their produc- tion, and can be rivaled only by such companies as "The Follies." Between acts when one glances through the program he is impressed by the clever style of the synopsis, and the resume of the work done in the production of the greatest of Michigan operas. BROWNING TO ADDRESS UNION METINGUT 9 DY (By Leo J. Hershdorfer) Another Union opera has gone down in the history of Michigan's dramatic activities asa success. "'Make It For Two", product of the pen of Lo L. Niedzielski, '24, and the admirable ef- forts of Mimes' players, after six suc- cessive performances in Ann Arbor, has earned for itself a name that will live long not only in the minds of the student body, but, it is safe to pre- dict, among the alumni who will have the opportunity to view the opera dur- ing the coming weeks. "Make It For Two" presents a well woven plot, interspersed here with touches of genuine humor, there with scenes that recall the wierd, roman- tic tales of the Arabian Nights,and again with hints of realism, of Broad- way, of Long Island and of Ann Arbor town. Last night's performance, the final showing here, proved that with prac- tice comes perfection, for the few rough spots which had somehow made themselves noticeable in earlier per- formances were entirely eliminated. Not a male foot in the chorus was lifted a second too late to execute the difficult "spiral kick", not a jewel-be- decked hand fluttered awkwardly in the air - Adam would never have recognized Eve, if he had been in the audience last night. The scenic effectsnare especially de- serving of mention, and the rapid change of scenes from spring to sum- mer, from fal to winter in the dance of "The Four Seasons", drew hearty applause. Music there was a-plenty, and credit and praise are due to the composer, Forman C. Brown, for his wonderful songs, "Naughty Eyes" and "Loveland" promise well to remain permanently in Michigan songdom. Wilfred R. Laurie, '22L, and W. R. Sutherland, '22, were typically charac- teristic in their interpretations of the roles of Mr. and Mrs. Houghtn, while Carl W. Guske, '22, as King Nemo was the irresistible "life of the party." Arthur H. Holden, '24, as the deter- mined lover, and Howard .S. Stimson, '24, as the clever lawyer, with Julian L. Zemon, '23, Gordon D. Weir, '24, specialty dancers, gave to the show an air of professionalism, and Lyonel E. Ames '24 proved so effective in his makeup that he *would have no trou- ble in gaining admittance to the Jun- ior Girls' play.
