No statementhas been made as yet by the University business department, but if thetax is imposed it will be paid withoutany grumbling. David S. Merriam,business manager of the athletic department, declared several weeks ago,when the matter was still in doubt,that the University would pay if thegovernment ordered.The decision, which emanates fromB. C. Keith, deputy commissioner ofinternal revenue at Washington, settles a misunderstanding which hasexisted for several months. It wasfirst declared that the Universitywould not have to pay the tax, as theproceeds went to- an educational institution, which are exempted by thelaw. The matter was agitated by certain newspapers, according to Mr.Merriam, -and Washington consideredthe case as a result. At one time adecision was re�eived that no taxwould be exacted, and the matter wasapparently 'settled. Yesterday's. interpretation may only be a newphase of the matter, or it may befinaL,The University has not lost' in thesense that it should have collected thetax from patrons' of the' games. Before the question was finally settledthe University had decided to pay thetax itself, ,if it were finally imposed,and not charge the spectators anything beyond the usual admittancefee. i1tis policy, it is believed, wouldpay financially, in that no one wouldremain away because of highertariffs.The Maroons made good againstthe I.A.C. five last night in Bartlett,finishing the game with plenty ofwind left and a score of 36 to 22. The. I.A.C. men played a hard game, butthe team defeated last night can notcompare to the quintets sent out bythe club during the past few years.This year's aggregation is in no sensea weak team, but is not strong enoughto uphold the reputation built up forI.A.C. by the superb teams representing the organization for the past fewyears.Although the Maroons were notpressed to the limit by yesterday'sgame, their work showed that theyare in prime condition for the Michigan game. Pat Page's squad hasswung into its stride, and is in shape.to put up the best fight it has madethis season. The - Michigan game isnot ,only the first heavy calibre conteat for the Maroons this year, butpromises to be one of the hardestgames of the conference season. BOthteams are going strong with good material, and the victory is expected tobe 'by only a battling margin.Gorgas Shoots Four Baskets. '-./ Gorgas showed that his eye is intrim by dropping four baskets, allfrom difficult positions. Hinkle played a, fast game, and looked 'well in alldepartments. ,'Vollmer came-to life,, left the _ region of the, basket, andplayed the scrappiest game he has putup, tQis year. Long, Jackson, Curtisand Sproehnle all had chances on thefloor, and all of them were goingstrong. _Bryan was the real -star of thegame, however, and broke into theI.A.C. 'attack whenever the ball gotaway from the Maroons. Hom, playing right forward' for the, LA.C. tossers, is a dangerous man near the basket, and the fact that' he had fewchances in that section of the Boorspeaks well for' the Maroon guards._Michigan Has Strong Team.There is every indication that Michigan's re-entry into the Maroon athletic,spotlight will be attended by allof the elements of' interest. Wordfrom Ann Arbor says that CoachMitchell of the Wolverines is lookingto a tight' contest, and word fromBartlett gym says that Pat Page islooking the same way. The recordsof ,both teams are clean thus far.Case defeated Michigan early in theseason, but the. Wolverines haveavenged themselves 8l!bsequently.Ther is a possibility that the MichIganIine-up may be shifted to permitRychener 'to take Cohn's place atright forward. Cohn is a tall, huskyplayer, with a football reputation, butRyehener is reported to have morespeed. The other forward is :McClintock, who is rather better than eitherof these at locating the hoop.Michigan Oft'ense Strong.The Michigan 'offense has beenformidable 'an season, even thoughthe forwards have not been exceptionally accurate in their basketshooting. Coach Mitchell has workedup 'a hard grinding floor game rathersimilar to the one which Coach Pageuses, and the prospects of a hot fracas are, in consequence, particularlypromising.The Wolverine center is, Bartz,' atall man with a good ability at thefloor game. Hanish, football letterman, and Ruzicka are the guards.The Ann Arbor quintet is, on thewDole, rather evenly balanced withthe Maroons. It plays a similar gameand' has its stars distributed ratherin a parallel fasldon.

Inmy letter J. stated as my personalopinion that·the lectures should relateto poetry if they were to be thoroughly fitting as a memorial to Mr. Moody.Mr. Robertson has given me no reason for revising this opinion.Mr. Robertson quotes the followingfrom a letter from the donor to President Judson under the date of Oct.9, 1916:"Fundamentally the fund is tobe used to bring men and women,leaders in their lines, before theuniversity students to give suchinspiration as students receivefrom coming in contact withgrea t minds."May I ask in what particular didthe lectures of last year fulfill any ofthese requirements? By what stretchof the imagination may Mr. AlfredNoyes be placed among the "leadersin his line" 1 Certainly last year'S leeture by this Victorian demonstratedconclusively that his line is notShakespearian criticism.. In this regard I may quote one of the membersof the English faculty who said in oneof his classes the day following thelecture that it had been the "most arrant example of what a man with areputation can do and get away with"that he had ever seen. The studentbody's comment was more concise.The undergraduates said colloquiallyoneto another, "Wasn't it awful 1"Mr. Robertson says that M" Leacock, the second lecturer, is known forhis critical works besides for his nonsense. Mr. Leacock certainly haswritten at least one volume of criticism called "Literary Studies," butdoes this make him a leader in thatline 1 He may be a leader in the lineof nonsense, but if the spirit of thedonor's statement as well as the letteris to be followed, Mr. Leacock's leeture should have sought its subject inthe line in which he is a leader.I do not think that Paul ElmerMore can be considered in any senseas a leader in his line. He might havebeen a leading critic some years ago,but if such was the case, he has certainly been supplanted for some time.Perhaps this· makes my meaningobvious enough. I thought I was sufficiently clear on this point in my previous letter, but Mr. Robertson saysin his communication: "The successor failure of the foregoing lecturesdoes not seem to be at issue. At least,Mr. Jeans dismisses the point." I donot know in what way Mr. Robertson rthinks that I dismissed it.'Mr. Robertson quotes from Prof.Manly's article regarding the namingof the foundation in honor of Mr.Moody:"Surely no other name couldbetter connote the breadth and vital power of the aims of the foundation. Surely no other namecould more constantly and insistently call upon the committee incharge of the foundation and.upon lectures themselves forlargeness' and freedom of outlookand utterance, for courage, forpassionate love of the best thatthe past has wrought out andtransmitted to us and for no lesspassionate search in the newGOOD!The Dramatic club has decided,after an evolutionary metamorphosisof long and discouraging years, to vestthe power of selecting plays in thehands of a faculty committee.
