project will change the selection of Union officials from campus election
to choice by the 17 members of the new board of directors which will
include eight students, four faculty men, three alumni, and two Union
officials. This group by considering the recommendations of the incumb-
ent officers, the hpplications of the candidates, and its acquaintance with
them will select the new officials on the basis of work done, ability,
and personality.

formerly proposed was preferred by
the board for the greater range of
judgment which it would give. Eight
student members will sit on the new
board compared to the three which
were slated for the original group.-
Five alumni and faculty men were
also added to the new group by the
change.
The application of the merit system
to the Union organization has follow-
ed the example of the publications.
The date of the appointments, the
recommendations and applications
will be used similarly. Organization
of the Union demands that a larger

Superior Numbers Of First Year Men
Enable Them To Triumph In
Free-For-All Contests
IS FOURTH STRAIGHT WIN
Victory in the cane-spree yesterday
morning at Ferry field, added to their
victory Friday afternoon in the tug
of war across the Huron, gave the
sophomore-s, led for the fourth time by
Walter Crego, '30, their fourth straight
class games'victory in two years.
This marks the first tie in four years
and the second in ten that a class
has won all of its class gaines.
The sophomores gained possession
of five of the nine canes and lost two
to the freshmen, the other two con-
tests resulting in a tie. The point
awarded for this event plus the two
points awarded Friday for their vic-
tory in the tug of war assured the
sophomores of a 3-2 margin in the
games.
In the obstacle race the first year
nien took two out of the three five-
man heats by large margins for a
clear-cnt victory. In the first heat the
sophomore number one man failed on
the second lap to climb one of the
two walls that barred his path, and
conceded the race to his opponents.
The sophomores took the second heat
by a good margin but dropped the
third by about half a lap, although
the race was hotly contested through-
out. Two walls to climb over, bar-
rels to dive through, a large tarpaulin
to crawl under, and two teeter-totters
to run over provided the obstacles for
the races.
Freshmen Win Rope-Tie
The rope-tying contest proved an
easy and decisive victory for the
freshmen who outnumbered their op-
ponents about three to two and man-
aged to tie up and detain 77 to the
sophomores 19. When the gun sound-
ed both sides stood their ground for
a long time before the freshmen at
length took the initiative and ap-
proached warily the sophomore pen
about 40 yards away.
The sophomores took their station
inside and around their pen, not dar-
ing to t-ake the offensive. Unwary
freshmen who approached too near
were pulled into the pen and tied
up by Crego and his men, while the
freshmen led by their captain, Wil-
liam W. Jamison, '31, seized on the
sophomores and made frequent trips
back to their pen with trussed-up
prisoners.
Sophomore Win Tug Event
In the tug of war Friday 'afternoon
the sophomores captured two of the
three tugs which gave them their
margin of victory in the games. The
first 50-man tug between two picked
teams from either class proved a
walk-away for the sophomores who
captured all of the spare rope and
pulled the struggling freshman team
half-way across the river. In the
second 50-man tug the freshmen got
the jump and pulled in about 30 feet
of rope before their opponents were
able to stem the rush and gain back a
ten-foot advantage which they man-
aged to hold until the 10 minues el-
apsed.
The free-for-all tug between the twC
classes turned into a rout when the
sophomores relinquished the rope as
soon as defeat appeared inevitable
The more numerous freshmen begar
reeling in the rope hand over hand
and the sophomores dropped it rath-
er than be pulled into the river.
THREE RUNS CHALKED UP AS
MICHIGAN OPENS WITH
DRIVING ATTACK

Asbeck Hurls For Wolverines; McCoy
Leads Rally For Home Team
In Fifth Inning
(Special to The Daily)
CAMBRIDGE, May 5-Before a re-
cord crowd of 10,000 here today, the
Harvard nine defeated Michigan, lead-7
er of the Western Conference, by a,
score of 8-5. Asbeck was on the
mound for the Wolverines, while Bar-'
bee, peer of the Crimson moundsmen,
hurled for Harvard.
The Wolverines started off by scor-
ing three runs. Nebelung and Loos
walked, but the, former was caught
off second in an attempted steal. Loos
crossed the plate for the first score
of the game, as Lange reached the
initial sack on an error. Corriden
slammed out a hard single, but Lange
was out when he attempted to reach
third on the hit. Bennie Ooosterbaan,
Michigan's much heralded eight letter-.
man, drove out the only circuit clout
of the contest sending Corriden home
ahead of him.
Harvard Ties Score
Harvard came right back and ev-
ened the count her half of the same
inning. Burnes and Chase walked,
and both came home on Donaghy's
sizzling two base drive. Lord rapped
out a timely single, sending Donaghy
in with the third and tying tally.
In the next two frames both hurlers
kept the opposing batters well in
hand. In the fourth, however, Har-
vard went into the lead, when a walk,
a two bagger, and Michigan errors
let in two more runs. The Crimson's
advantage was short lived, as Michi
gan knotted the count in the nexi.
inning.
McCoy led the Wolverine rally with
a single,.Nebelung walked, and Cap-
tain Loos, diminutive shortstop, sent
both his teammates home with a hard
single. The Harvard defense tighten-
ed at this point and successfully
stemmed the rising Michigan tide.
Michigan Scoreless After Fifth
During the remaining innings,
John Barbee, stellar Crimson mound-
sman, held the Michigan sluggers in
check, allowing no more hits. Asbeck,
however, was less fortunate.
In the seventh Harvard again aa
sumed the lead, touching Asbeck's
offering for three hits. Lord singled
and stole second to open the frame.
lHardy, pinch hitting for Sullivan,
smashed out his sixth triple of the'
season, scoring Lord. He came home
a mom'ent later on a wild throw,
from center.
The eighth inning saw Harvard
score the final run of the game. Chase
crossed the plate on a sacrifice fly,
after reaching first on an error.
