Such a'team was organized and played one game at Ypsilanti. It was beaten. The attempt to put such' a team in the field is laudable. There Is no reason why the University shouldn't be represented during the summer on the diamond, as there are plenty of good players on the campus, and an excellent place to play. 1f..such a team is organized; how- ever, iSt should practice and do all in its power to make it a fit representa- tive of the University of Michigan. We have an athletic record second to nopne in the country, and the teams we send out to uphold it should be the best possible teams we can get together. Specifically, we had a bseball team this spring that won the championship of the West, and was claimant to the championship of the country. It is not fair to this tem, and to the other great baseball teams that have gone out before and won cham- pionships, that their records should be placed next to that of a nine collect- ed hurriedly to play games with teams that orinarily are not placed in the same class athletically. There are always too many boasters ready to say they "played on a team that beat Michigan;" or "I was with the Ypsilanti Normal club that defeated the Wolverines, the year they were champions of the West." It is not fair to the teams and the University. We believe the University is ready to stand loyally behind any team that is willing to work, and put the old Michigan fight into their game. That fight is not present in a team that does not practice. Michigan fights with every ounce of'strength, clean- ly, but just as hard as hard work and long training will help a team to fight. Therefore, if the team we have on the campus at present is to represent the University it should be out prac- ticing regularly. The Ypsilanti team that defeated it, as result of our *er- rors a week ago Saturday, does prac- tice regularly. It is coached by a paid man. If we are to compete against such a team we must prac- tice just as hard. If the team we have does not care to practice, It should not go down to Ypsilanti as representing the University of Michi- gan. Without a doubt if the team will do its part towards making it a fit representative of the University the campus wIll stand behind. If it, how- ever, does not care to accept the re- sponsibility, there ,is no reason why it shouldn't play anyway. It need merely take some other name. THE WOLVERINE --- DUTCH PUBLISH CONVOY EPISODE IN "WHITE BOOK" The Hague, July 23. - A Dutch white book regarding the convoy to the East'Indies, has just been pub- lished and reveals that the convoy actually sailed with German dye- stuffs, to which Great Britain object- ed, and it was recalled. When Holland saw that if the dye- stuffs remained aboard the convoy would be stopped by British war- ships with the inevitable result that the commander of the convoy would offer armed resistance, the Dutch government resolved to discharge this portion of the cargo. WILLARD TO BE ON RUSS COMMITTEE Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore and Ohio, is said to have accepted a place on the committee of business men selected by the presi- dent to aid in the Russian situation.
