First outdoor practice was held yes- terday by the baseba'll men. The Ath- letic field was completely submerged and so the Fair Grounds were used for practice. Even the Fair Grounds were so wet that only the outfield could get any practice. If the weather improves any within the next week, the first game of the series with the Toledo association will be played. At a meeting of the Athletic board last night, it was resolved that a peti- tion be placed before the Athletic as- sociation prohibiting any active ath- lete from becoming a director of the association. The Third Annual Inter-scholastic Track meet will be held at Ann Ar- bor May 26 and 27. It has been de- cited that these meets shall be held at Ann Arbor every year instead of rotating among the various home towns of the contestants as has been the custom heretofore. Cyrano de Bergrac, the famous play of the year, will be presented at the Athens Theater tonight. (_ ' I 1 Tal vez, as they say in the Spanish. * * * 1 ij !

Some of the contributers ly possible in a play but recently fam- iliar to the actors, and with actors pleasantly familiar to the audience. But one criticism of the play as a whole can be made: that- the opening scene is a bit slow to awaken the sus- pense of expectation at which it aims. After Ambrose Applejohn has been in the room for a fewminutes, any lag- ging is a part of the past, and from then on the audience is in continuous gales of laughter.
