The Wolverines have won an even dozen times. Injuries to Captain Spelman, holder of the dual meet record in the 75 yard low hurdles and an almost cer- tain winner of the 440 yard dash, have considerably weakened the po- tentialities of Coach Jack Moakley 's squad which until the accident was generally conceded more than an even chance to repel the Wolverines' in- HESTER TO LEAD TEAM AT ITHACA DUAL MEET REORDS **60. yard dashHubbard (M) in 1923.

ENGINEERING COLLEGE' ATTRACTS THOUSANDS TO VIEYWI EHIBI1TIONSi DOORS WILL BE OPEN TODAY FROM S TO i O'CLOCK CONTINOITSLY MODELS PROVE POPULAR Broadcasting Of Bed-Time Stories in )Iid-Afternoon Is Unlooked For Addition To Exhibit An attendance which wa's estimated conservatively as between 7,000 and 9,000 persons thronged the College ofI Engineering during the first day of the Open House which opened yester- day and will end tonight. It was im- possible to make an exact count of the crowds present during the day, due to the fact that there was no set ron- tine which the people were required to follow to observe all of the exhi- bits. It is expected that the attend- ance today will 'show a substantial in- crease over that of yesterday. Much interest was exhibited in all the exhibits,'- particularly those dis- playing models and the operation of mechanisms. The wind tunnel in the! ba'sement of the East Engineering building was run continually from 1 o'clock in the afternoon as was the naval' tank, the dynamo laboratory, the Baltimore -and Ohio exhibit of model locomotives, the cut away Buick chassis, and other displays. Much in- terest was evinceed in the film fur- nished by the Baltimore and Ohio rail- road, "The Fair of the Iron Horse," and the models set up by the depart- ment of highway engineering, includ-, ing a model countryside and miniature road machinery, drew large crowds. Irrigation Model Of Interestr An excellent model that was not' previously announced, that of a minia- ture irrigation .project, created con- siderable interest with its tiny water- falls and power units. Perhaps an unlooked for feature of i the Open House was the broadcasting of bed time stories in mid-afternoon from a loudspeaker on the roof of the t - .t7t .2 . ... 1h- lrAPi.fl. .ontl..

Michigan now stands a slight favorite in, the ad-t vance reckoning. I Cornell's greatest strength lies in the shot put where a 'slam of all nine points is expected, and in the two mile, pole vault, and high hurdles.I Michigan's greatest strength lies in the low hurdles, sprints, and in the mile and half mile. The squads are about evenly matched in the other events. Prospects for the lowering of the dual meet records which include two; world standards are nearly negligible except in a few'scattered contests, es-; pecially inasmuch as the Drill hall track, besides being wooden, is also unbanked. Only in the hurdles are4 the runners considered as possibilitti:"3 to " lower the existing standards,some of which date back to 1911 and 1912. Carruthers of Cornell, credited with doing :09 3-10 in the 75 yard high hurdles, is favored to win that event in record time. Neither Cooper nor Kinney of Michigan has ever been timed at this distance as the field house here Is not long enough to per~ mit its being run. The same field, with Kinney's prominent position fill- ed by Spelman and Jones, will at- tempt to beat the low- hurdle mark.

This year's ex-,' hibit will consist of the following' eight sections: anthropology, botany, fine arts, economics and sociology, forestry, geography and zoology. Each section will be comprised of various contributions from members of the departments and specialists in the va- rious fields, and is expected to be one of the features of the annual meeting. Sections To Meet " Section meetings to discuss the particular fields included in the Acad- emy will convene on each of the three days of the annual meeting. Prof. William H. Worrell, associate pro- Ifessor of Semitics, is chairman of the anthropology section, which will meet on Friday and Saturday morning. Prof. Bradley M. Davis, of the botany+ department, is chairman of the botany sections which will meet on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning and afternoon. The section on economics will be in charge of Prof. John V. I Van Sickle, of the economics depart- ment, and will hold joint sessions with the section of sociology. The section of fine arts is in charge of Paul Honore, of ;Detroit; John C.

"Can- dida" has been one of her most suc- cessful parts, and Is also regarded as Shaw's most successful play. Opposite Miss Kearns, Charles War-i burton will play Candida's husband, Morrell, while Robert Henderson will appear as Eugene Marchbanks, hel' poet lover. Others in the cast will be Kate Holland Patton as Prossy, and Franz Rothe as Burgess. "Candida" is Shaw's most senti- mental - romance, and as such will mark the first love story in the com- 'pany's stock engagement here. The sao~ s en xed d b y n h seasn's being eten detl beyond th scheduled ten weks in order to pre- 1 sent this production, which is being put in place of "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," announced earlier in the engagement. "Cadida" will follow Kenyon Nich- olson's melodrama of carnival life, "The Barker," which opens for a4 week's run tomorrow night. Charles Warburton will have the Richard Ben- nett role of "Nifty" Miller. " The Barker" deals with life be-j hind the tents of a small traveling! carnival. The story revolves about four people: "Nifty" Miller, a profes- sional barker; Carrie, a hula dancer; "Nifty's" son, and a snake charmer. "Nifty"' has kept his son away from the carnival and wants him to be- come a lawyer. One day the boy ap- alo I eI rrs aim jaLer u." r eA 4 ulu the same. Both bodies adopted reso- lutions and appointed committees to attend the, funeral. The Senate resolution was present- .ed by Senator Ferris' colleague, Sen- ator Couzens, who declared that Mich- igan had lost one of its foremost and useful citizens, an outstanding figure in radical education. I LANSING, March 23-Joseph W. Fordney, of Saginaw, was looked upon in state circles today as the one most likely to be ctosen by GovernorGreen to he-ad the way out of the political confusion caused by the death of Sen- ator Woodbridge N. Ferris. i ~Is Generally Accepted- Although the governor, who is con- fronted with the most pu'zzling !olit- ical situation of his tenure, will not appoint a successor to Senator Ferris for several days, the belief that Ford- ney will be the next United States senator was the most generally ac- cepted of the possibilities discussed. I Virtually without exception state of- ficials gave Fordney the leading chance. Senator Ferris' death, coming as it did upon the verge of a senatorial campaign in which two or more of the governor's close political and per- sonal friends may engage, brought Governor Fred Green face to face with the eventuality which his friends have viewed with alarm since the begin- ning of 'the senator's illness. Should the governor appoint either of his friends who miay became cantldates I in the fall -primaries, he would im- mediately confer upon the appointee a tremendous advantage in the cam- ( paigns for nomination and election, it was pointed ouit.

HONOR SOCIE T Y s I I t 3 ORGANIZED ON UNIVERSITY CAMPUS Editor's Note: This is the seventeenth a series of feature artiles on campus in stitutions intended todOvelop their his- tory and major principles or organization and management. Sphinx and Triangles, junior honor societies of the Colleges of Literature, Science, and the Arts and 'of the Colleges , of Engineering and Archi- tecture, respectively, stand in approx- imately the same position in regard to the junior classes as Michigamua, Druids, and Vulcans do to the sen- iors. Sphinx, founded in 1907, was the third honor society on the Michi- gan campus, while Triangles, found- ed in the same year, followed soon after. Triangles is an organization of jun- ior engineers who have shown them- selves proficient in school activities as well as in scholastic work. The group seeks to reward, by member- ship, those men who have shown that 3 h~v ra innl fnP Ad''.'. ,rin ot '.4 literary college, was founded along mubh the same lines at approximately the same time, and selects its mem-I hers on somewhat the same basis. In Sphinx, however, an effort is made to include members not only who have accomplished notable achievements in campus activities, but men who show the most promise of continuing in prominence during their 'senior year. Sphinx, as Triangles, is self-per- petuating, and like Triangles, chooses ten men each spring and ten in the fall. The Sphinx initiation is held in the spring and fall, when the men are fastened on their backs on a dray for a journey across "the burning sands," furnished in the form of pad- dies in the hands of members and, 'alumni. During their journey they are conducted through the engineer- ing arch, where the Triangle neo- phytes, engaged in giving that edifice 1 i . : . .i With installation and initiation cer- emonies taking place at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon in Barbour gymnasium, the.

Eta Sigma, the honorary society which was organized last year for first-'year men. After the ceremonies, the initiates and their guests will proceed to the Haunted Tavern where a banquet will be served. President Clarence Cook Little and Mrs. Little are to be among the guests at this banquet. It was at the suggestion of Presi- dent Little and 'the advisers to women i that the movement was begun for a chapter of 'Alpha Lambda Delta here. In recozpnitin o(f, her , activity for the~
