SUBJECT SEEMS BOUND TO COME'
UP FOR CONSIDERATION AT '
TODAY'S MEETING
At the meeting of the Regents thisl
morning, the campus is hoping for
definite action upon two topics of ath-l
letic nature. The conference is natur-
ally the paramount athletic issue.,
By an affirmative answer to thel
board in control of athletics' vote of
more than two months back, the Re-
gents will place Michigan in the Big'
Nine and the basketball, baseball, and
track schedules for next year will see
games with Minnesota, Wisconsin, Il-
linois, Chicago, and other schools.E
Next fall's football bill may also in-
clude a struggle with Northwestern,
runner-up in the conference last No-
vember.
By a negative vote, the 1918 winter
and spring contests will be filled by
mach the same games as the present
schedules in all branches of sport con-
tain.
No, definite knowledge as to just
what portion of the campus is in
favor of the return, and what
proportion is against the re-entry
can be known, since no vote on
th' subject has been conducted.
Societies Favor Move
Out of a poll of eight honorary so-
cieties, every one of them reports that
its memberers were almost unani-
mously in favor of it. But one dis-
senting vote was registered. Five of
the eight took action favoring a unani-
mouse return.
House discussion and street talks in
the past two months have proved that
the majority of students are decidedly
in favor of the return. Little talk has
been heard against the resumption of
athletic competition with the western
schools as against the present system
of games.
The Regents are also expected to act
upon this year's interscholastic, dated
for the first Friday and Saturday in
June. That Michigan wished to be
allowed to continue the big prep and
high school meet is conclusively
shown in the sentiment which is in
favor of the resumption of athletic
schedules in general, or at least out-
side competition with M. A. C. and
other schools in the state.
University of Iowa Drops Athletics
Iowa City, Ia., April 26.-The board
in control of athletics at the State
University of Iowa decided that track
athletics will be discontinued at once.
The board acted on the recommenda-
tion of Iowa alumni, Jack Watson, the
track coach, and N. A. Kellogg, man-
ager of athletics.
One exception was made. Those ath-
letes who have been in training this
year and who continue to train will be
sent to the state meet at Des Moines,
May 19, $rovided they show ability.
This dispensation was granted to re-
ward them for their services and to
give them a chance to earn track in-
signias.
TENNIS HATCHES ARRANGED
FOR BENEFIT OF RED CROSS
New York, April 26.-The first of
a series of special tennis matches for
the benefit of the American Red Cross
fund will be played here Saturday
under the auspices of the National
Tennis association. The singles will
bring together Clifton B. Herd of Cali-
fornia, and Harold Throckmorton of
Elizabeth, N. J., while George M.
Church and Dean Mathey will oppose
Karl H. Behr and T. R. Pell.
The matches will be played on the
turf courts of the Westside club at
Forest Hills, L. I. No admission fee
will be charged, but each spectator
will be requested to contribute to the
Red Cross fund. It is planned to play
similar matches each Saturday during
April and May, after which a more
ambitious program may be staged
each week. .

WEATHER DELAYS OPENING
OF CLASS TENNIS TOURNEY
Bad weather and impatience on the
part of players have delayed the inter-
class tennis tournament. Not even
the preliminaries have been arrang-
ed to pick the fdifferent class teams.
If the players will keep off the courts
when they are soft, the chances are
good that regular play can be start-
ed in a week or so.

Simpson will be one of the most

will compete for honors. Despite the
war and the large number of athletic
lights that have been drawn away by
it the carnival will eclipse any other
of its kind in Red and Blue history.
