LAFAYETTE, May 4-Michigan hit
the ball with regularity here, today,
and Don Miller, pitching a grudge
game against Purdue, avenged the
defeat which he suffered in the first
Conference game of the season, play-j
ed at Ann Arbor.
Miller was airtight in the game to-
day, the Boilermakers garnering only,
six hits during the entire game. Not
until the eighth inning, when the;
Wolverines had already scored nine
runs, did Miller ease up "and allow
the home team to score. Maxton, ace
of the Purdue hurling staff, was un-
able to oppose Miller on the mound
because of a sore arm, and Davies{
satrted in his place, Davies was un-1
able to hold the invaders, however,
and was yanked at the end of the
fifth, after Michigan had already scor-
ed seven runs.
Corridgn, Coach Fisher's star out-
fielder, made one of the longest hits
in the history of Stuart field when he
clouted a homer in the fourth inninga
with no one on base. Corriden's hit
travelled to the extreme right boun-
dlary of the field, and was an easy
homer.
If the Michigan team failed to show
in the pinches in other games,-it cer-1
tainly was not lacking in batting
strength today. Corriden in addi-
tion to his four base blow, account-
ed for two singles. Benny Ooster-
baan, batting sixth in the lineup was
the heavy hitter of the day, with four
hits in five trips to the plate, one of
which went for two bases. t
Every Michigan player earned at
least one safe hit with the exception
of Weintraub, third baseman, and
Reichman, substitute catcher. Besides
the fine work of Oosterbaan and Cor-'
riden, - Puckelwartz, Michigan's cap-
tain, and Gilbert, right fielder, each
slammed out three safe hits.
The invaders threatened from the
very start, although men were left
on scond and third bases when the
first inning ended. The team con-
tinued its hitting, with two runs be-
ing scored in the second and third.
Only in three innings of the game
did the Wolverines fail to score at
least one run.

TO THE STUDENTS
The largest percentage of the
Ivoting population in the United
States is composed of educated
people. It is understood that
whr there is intelligence there
Iis the feeling of responsibility
for citizenship, which carries
with it the duty to vote in elec-
tions for public office.
The University may be consid-
eredt a miniature of the nation; j
1its students are its citizens; andl I
each student owes it to lis uni-
versity to vote intelligently at
I the coning campus elections
next Wednesday. In order to
vote, a student must register,
and today is the last day- of
registration. Since the Univer-
sity is an educational institutioj,
it is the duty of every student ?
to show that he appreciates the
obligation which is his-that of I
expressing a voice in the elec-
tions. Register today and vote
Wednesday!

AWARD CONSTRUCTION"
CONTRATT PEC
Preliminary Work On Woman's Ath-
letie Building Is Scheduled To
Begin Immediately
PALMER FIELD LEVELLED
Work preliminary to the erecting
of the new athletic field house for
women will begin immediately upon
the awarding of the general contract
to the Snence Brother Co., contractors'
of Saginaw, Mich. by the Board in
Control of Athletics, according to a
late announcement from the Adminis-
tration building.
The architectural plans for the wo-
men's field house were let several
months ago upon the official an-
nouncement of a proposed athletic
building for women to be erected on
Palmer field. Since the initial
announcement the work of leveling
Palmer field has gone on continuous-
ly until with the last few days when
the work has been nearing an end.
Several small hills have been cut
down during the last few months in
order to afford a level playing field
for the outdoor activities of the wo-
men students.
.Spence Brothers will start work on
the erection of the field house im-
mediately in order to complete the
building for the first sent.ster of
next year. The contractors awarded
the project are also at present erect-
ing the new museum building, which
will be located opposite the new field
house.
According to the plans for the field
house, the first floor will be mainly
reception rooms with a large and spa-
cious hall. Kitchens and a first- aid
booth will also be on the first floor.
The general plan of the exterior will
be of the old colonial type, with a
long porch eltending the length of
the building and leading on to the
playing field. In the basement will he
over 1,000 lockers for women and
shower baths and team rooms. The
second floor will also conatin lockers
l and dressing booth's. The estimated
cost of the building alone will run
around $275.000, according to the
!preliminary sketches. With the excep-
tion of bowling alleys no athletic
events will be contested within the
field house.

Smen present the outstanding man of

America's First Roller Skating Meet
Keeps Industrious Lawyers From Study

By Timothy Hay
And not a lawyer studied last night.
More than 3,000 persons were pres-
ent for America's first skating meet,
under the auspices of Martha Cook
building, for the benefit of thegwell-
known League fund, last night on
South University ave. Of this total
about 1,000 skated, a hundred merely
attempted to, and the rest watched
for tumbles from the sidelines.
With the Varsity band, the Reserve
band, and a caliope, the music was
loud enough to drown out the skates
at times, and all in all it kept the;
whole lawyers club from studying
which is something worth while.
South University was lined from

can itself, to say nothing-it spoke
for itself of the caliope, the street
took on the appearance of a carnival.t
In the "locomotion parade" held
following the races, Harold Diepslef,
15, carried off the prize of a hand-car
toy because he was carried in a
stretcherby four students on roller
skates, the judges basing their decis-
ion on the grounds that he travelled
by rollers with the least effort.
Charles Flowers, of the Ann Arbor
high school, won a kewpy doll as first
prize in the men's race, with Donald
Kennedy, '30, taking second. No girl's
race was held.
A gold plated skate key was won
by Nelson Otto by his fancy skating
exhibition.

Presenting the 68th annual homeR
concert, the Varsity glee club will ap-
pear at., 815 o'clock tonight in Hill!
auditorium for a student program I
which will include more chorus work
than usual, and numerous specialty;
numbers. Mrs. Fredericka Hull, solo-I
ist in the First Presbyterian church
of Detroit, and spoken highly of byZ
crjtics, will sing "Omnipotence" with
the glee club chorus, and a solo num-
ber "Ocean, Thou Mighty Monster"
taken from the opera "Oberon" by
von Weber. Mrs. Hull is one of the
few out of town singers to participate
in a glee club concert.
The selections used tonight will be
largely classical and semi-classical,
including Negro spirituals, and several
modern numbers besides the classical
work.
Among the soloists will be Kenneth
Midgley, '28L, who was xylophone
soloist on the spring concert tour of
the upper peninsula recently made
