Michigan hasqualified for this contest by defeating Minnesota on January I I; Chicago, by defeatingNorthwestern on the same date. Both of thesecontests were spirited and admitted of closedecisions. The prospect, therefore, of a livediscussion at the finals is assured.The team in which Chicago is interested is thesame as of the former debates: Messrsv T. J.Riley, G. W. C. Ross, S. G. Levy. Mr. Rileyis a graduate student, Mr. Ross a senior, Mr.Levy a junior. The latter has had more expericnce in debates than have his colleagues,having debated at New York against Columbia.M ichigan usually has produced an excellentteam as her record of three defeats in fourteen'Michigan and Wisconsin are engaged atpresent in one of their periodic disagreements.The cause of all the trouble is the vacant presidency of the Northern Oratorical League:President Loeb, of Wisconsin, has left college;therefore according to ordinary precedent thevice-president, Stanley of Michigan, shouldsucceed to his position. Wisconsin, however,named W. J. Carr as Loeb's successor, both asdeiegate and as president, claiming as the officeis determined by rotation, that Wisconsinshould have it for the entire year.Michigan claims, however, that this rotation debates will show. The team of this year isnot below the Michigan standard of debate, itsmembers are Messrs. G. W. Maxey, E. 80nnenshein, H. F. Jacobs.As in the Northwestern debate Chicago willsupport the negative, on the question, "Resolved, that the United States should subsidizeits merchant marine." Events of the SpanishWar attest the to utility of the question fordiscussion.The sum of two hundred dollars will be -divIded among the debating teams as follows,fifty dollars to the defeated, one huudred fiftvto the winning Judges of the contest havebeen announced: Governor Shaw of Iowa;Judge Clementson of Wisconson and ProfessorC. H. Spooner of St. Louis; chairman of theevening, Mr. Henry D. Estabrook.in office is merely the result of tacit agreementbetween the colleges, and that the delegates.elect and that they have had nothing to sayabout Carr's election.So the discussion goes on, and may go onindefinitely. One plan might settle the trouble,which would be to havea ballot taken by letter from all the delegates for president, and tolet the man obtaining the majority take theposition. At all events let us hope that something will be done soon, as nothing so injures'good feeling between the Western universitiesas this continual inter-collegiate bickering oversmall matters.866IrEtt$i:idJAjL:{*{jjN../;)}:,/Vt)�?!t.:/:�/':D'�*t;*E .. �: .. }*·:::'A�;':Jt,:#::$/J .¢.$}�:ixt:�12#rD\��pf;!){{�{:::P};t{e:jlwu*L;�p.·;i(�t5.;::*f;;)1('1An Omnipresent Observer.As she reached the end of her muddy walkacross lots at Fifty-seven th street and Woodlawn avenue, she turned toward the west to seeif a possible companion for the long tramp tothe suburban, was in view. Sure enough, ablock away she saw her dear friend Grace'winding her way between puddles, with thatcamel-like grace peculiar to the "real swell"girls of nowadays. In fact Miss James was sopleased at this discovery that she utterly neglected to see the professor, who was ploddingalong about twenty feet ahead of her friend.She drew out her hankerchief and waved it joyously in the air.The professor, looking up suddenly-after thegraceful leap of a small pond in the centre ofthe walk, saw the signalling 'with consecutivesurprise, recognition, delight and reciprocativeaction. That is to say, his countenance wassuffused with a delicate pink, and its sternclass room lines broke up into the wrinkles of a,quite undignified smile. He' took off his hat.and waived back at the fair maiden on the corner, with such vigor that her attention was attracted and her vibrating arm stiffened as ifwith a hot box in the socket.Changes in Baseball Rules."The rules committee of the National leaguerecently made five important changes in thebaseball rules for this year. . The changes aredesigned to prevent the pitchers delaying agame, and already considerable opposition hasbeen raised against some of the changes, particularly against the third rule printed below.The new rules are:r. The catcher must remain close up to thebat, or not over ten feet back, the distance tomarked with a line.2. The first two balls fouled will go as strikesunless caught out on the fly.3. A pitched ball hitting a batsman willcount as one ball.4. The umpire shall call a ball each time thepitcher delays the game more than twentyseconds.S. I f the ball is thrown to anyone but thecatcher by the pitcher, with the batsman up,unless in an attem pt to retire a base runner, theumpire shall call o ne ball."Hitherto the colleges have adhered prettyclosely to the National league rules. In thepresent instance, however, it seems probablethat these changes will not be accepted. Thelist of their opponents is long, including Chicago, Michigan, Minnesota, Illinois, and in factall the colleges so far heard from. The rejection of these changes, which will presumablybe agreed upon by letter by the various colleges, should only serve to mark off more distinctly the difference between college and. pro�fessional baseball.Tall Flen's Club at U. of P.At the University of Pennsylvania a club oftall men has been formed. The twelve tallestmen in the university only are eligible. Thereis, however, an associate. membership of thenext longest twelve, from which members willbe promoted to the higher organization, if avacancy occurs or sufficient increased statureis sho�n by the associates. The society has,however, a limit of eighty feet of membership.The 'officers are' "Moon Hitter," "Sky Scraper,""Ceiling Duster" and Giraffe." A quorumconsists of thirty-seven feet of m ern bers. Theclnb plans, it is said, to give a dance in thenear future, to which no lady exceeding fivefeet in height will be invited. "Why, it's Professor ---, well of all the impudence. Talk about social recognition outside of the class-room. Oh, this is too good.Just watch me freeze that consciencelesscritic."Meanwhile, the professor was hastening hissteps toward his icy fate, regardless of puddlesor muddy crossways. Just what his thoughtswere, or what exact process of revulsion offeeling took place, even the Observer couldnot fathom. About twenty feet from the corner, however, he evidently discovered that thelady had not the honor of .his acquaintance.He almost stopped: for an instant he glared athis deceiver and then as he heard a hail frombehind him, the truth dawned in his darkenedmind. With a quick jerk he pulled his 'loft hatdown over his forehead; thrust his hands in hispockets; strode forward with reddening cheeksand with eyes intent on a far-away housetop,passed the now positively grinning young ladyon the corner, with that fixed expression on hisc ounetnance which may denote either i ntellectual depth or embarrassment, according to the867man and the occasion. In this case intellectualdepth could hardly be called predominant, asthe professor's thoughts ran about in this vein:"Of course if I had to act foolish, it must be inthe presence ot the greatest gossiper in the college. Go on," he added, as he heard a chornsof feminme laughter behind him, "laugh on,but I have my day now and then, and wait untilthe next one comes!""Those Football Faces."Coach Stagg was the name of the leadingcharacter in a farce debate held at the CentralY. M. C. A. last week by North Division HighSchool boys. The title of the farce was "ThoseFootball Faces." The entertainment wasgiven for the benefit of the athletic associationin the North Division High School.The high school boys magnified into 'an interesting, mock heroic debate the speechesmade before the Chicago City school principalssome time ago by Professor A. A. Stagg andtheir anti-athletic principal, Professor O. J."Westcott. Mr. Westcott attacked football asbrutal and declared it developed those brutal"football faces."The question for the mock debate was: "Resolved, that football is brutal and should beabolished." .Arthur Berg of North Division, a pompou�impersonation of Principal Westcott exhibitedhimself as a wonderful example of manhooddeveloped without even ever having seen a gameof football. To make his arguments about the·football faces convincing, he exhibited a largenumber of stereoptican pictures, of caricaturesof football players heads. .Alton Johnson, .Iiowcver, the Northwesternhalf back formerly at North Division, the manwho took the part of Stagg, presented the realpictures of Kennedy, Herschberger and otherfootball heroes..Profess�r Stagg rnade quite a hit by referringto himself as a specimen of manhood developed by football, and then remarking: "I donot care for raw meat and can even meet smallchildren without feellig any brutal, cannibalistic tendencies."The' audience awarded the debate to thenegative by a unanimous vote. Dramatic Club Trials.Spring trials for the Dramatic Club will beheld Friday, April 12 at 4:00 p. m., in KentTheater. The object of these triais is to selectmembers of the student body to be eligible toeligible to election by the Club at its regularmeeting one week later. A board of fivejudges, composed of members of the facultyand members of the club, will judge upon themerits of the candidates. From these recommended persons, the club will fill its presentvacancies. -The membership of the club islimited to ten men and ten womenThe decision of the board of membershipwill be based entirely upon individnal merit.The club is looking for candidates who canunite, to their ability to read and interpret agiven role, "presence and voice."Any student of the University not affectedby the restrictious g(llVerning public appearanc�"is eligible for membership in the club.Being a freshman IS no bar but rather a recom ..mendation. It is hoped that all students whohave ability in this line will present themselvesat the trials once a week from Friday afternoon.As You Like It.Professor Clark has returned to the university this quarter, and active work on the "AsYou Like It" performance will be started oncemore. During the professor's absence privaterehearsals have been going on among the candidates selected six weeks ago, and much progress has been made. Many ot the mechanicalarrangements of the piece have now been perfected, so that the problem of successful pro.,.ductiori is practically reduced to a question ofthe picking and drilling of the cast. Rehearsals under the direction of Professor Clar\<: wilLbe recommenced next week, and the selectionof the fin'al cast will follow shortly after,' Further details of the production will be settledwithin a few weeks, when a more thorough account of the cast, staging and general, arrangements will be given in these columns.A stndent at Ann Arbor recently undertook to be hisown doctor, and swallowed some oxalic acid instead ofepsom salts, He will Ieave the hospital in 'a few months.868H1J\.ate."There was a half started look of recognition,a moment of hesitation, then the man politelytook off his hat, smiling somewhat feebly."Is it Kate?" he inquired simply.The woman perceiving t·he restraint in theaddress merely nodded her head."Ah! It is so long ago.' He was evidentlythinking. His face gradually grew ruddy, andwith some embarassment he continued:"The old days! Hm, Hm! Schell's riverroad-""And the Angel's dance, Mr. Brandreth,"she put in."There were three jolly Cornell rnen-e-," hehummed.A slight flicker of amusement crossed herface. The woman laughed lightly."Don't you remember Mr. Brandreth," shebegan, "the adventure on the river roadthat June afternoon, when you-?"She checked herself suddenly as she observedhis frown. He ran his hand through his irongray hair as if in reproof, and examining thedress and face of the woman, turned his eyesand stared coldly down the street. "Yes-Ihad almost forgotten," he said in an alteredtone.The other looked quickly at the ground andmade a movement to withdraw."I am sure I am glad Mr. Brandreth.""Good bye-Kate," he said arid hurried off.II.A young man stood before a window thatpresented a view of the long stone row of Sibley buildings, and slapped his gloves impatiently against his thigh as he looked out uponthem. Presently he strode across to the otherwindow, and looked down the steep, ravinedhillside, which was covered with promiscuouslyscattered trees and rocks. At the bottom rana winding ravine road that followed closely thebend of the river. Where it showed throughthe trees, the river sparkled and glinted in thesunlight.'" What a day for a drive," exclaimed theyoung man, and slapped his gloves angrilyagainst his leg. Then he went to the opposite� I window again and stared frowningly at thecampus. .He strode back and forth in the room a halfdozen times, and finally bolted for the doorand went out.'Half an hour later he was riding along theriver drive under the lowering branches of thethe trees. Throughthe leaves the sun dancedon the roadway, on the horses back, on herlight dress. He leaned over the gaudily decorated hat beside him."I nearly failed to come this afternoon," hesaid."Ah?" The blue eyes smiled up at him.The blond hair he thought very pretty."Why?" she asked."I'm afraid I'll be "�unked," he answered."They're deucedly hard on a fellow up there."He nodded back towards the Cornell towers onon the crest of the hill , "And if I am" he wenton, and ended in silence."Well if you are--" she looked up at himsaucily.He swung the whip gaily around and cut thecob's ankleswith it. T'he wind blew deliciouslysoft as they rode on mor e swiftly.Presently, as it wound crookedly betweenthe river and the foot of the hillside, the roadgave off a branch that started up a widelygorged, ravine. Over rocks, in and out of thecrevassed bed of the, gorge, around boulders,sharply ascending and abruptly precipitating,it proceeded as' far as it was possible to see into the ravine. The litchen and grass growingacross the tracks where the branch road left themain way showed it to be little travelled.Guided by an accidental jerk of the line, thehorse made a movement to turn aside. Theyoung man quickly drew him back."Oh, let us go up there--do." The blue eyespleaded."Whaf--up there?""Yes, we've never driven up there yet? Itlooks so coo 1.'" ,"It's impossible. Nobody drives up there.""Nobody? Then what's the road for?"-ou. f el lows �sed t'o EL� it a� a sort of dare,to show off or something. It's dangerous."She looked at him half-smilingly a moment."Did you ever do it?""I? No," he blushed. "My father did itonce," he ran 011 after a pause."There was 'a place at the other end of theravine called Schells when my father was incollege. He drove up the road to the place ona wager.""Your father did? Then I should think youMr. Brandreth-"He turned around in astonishment."Oh-Oh, my father was alone," he said."Oh, I'm -not a:fraid !""she <exclaimed."But I wouldn't think-of taking you.""Well, then I shall get out and let you goalone.""But I didn't say-""Then you won't go."--"Why, it's nonsense. I couldn't-""You couldn't?""I certainly shouldn't like to.""N ot on a' wager?"He looked at her quickly with a puzzled expression. The blue eyes had no sympathy.They were laughing in a way that discomfited.He looked over his shoulder at Cornell on thethe hilltop, and made a movement of impatience."You think you--?" she waited for him tospeak, glancing coldly at the ground.He looked down at the gaudily decoratedhat that shielded her face from view. Hecould see only the blond head. "Do it? Whyof course I'll do it," he burst out suddenly. 869I n the' next minute 'he was riding along overthe rocks, the cart swaying wildly from side toside, up the ravine road.A man with iro_n gray hair stood looking outof the window at the Sibley buildings, acrossthe front of which the afternoon sun was drawing a dark band of shadow. Presently, as heheard a movement in the room, he turnedquietly around. The young figure on the bedwas stirring. He went to the bedside and sat. down, in.a._chair.· Gradually-the head was raisedfrom the.jaillew. -The older. .man reached outand took the hand of the younger."Oh, is it you dad ?""Yes; but you must remain quiet.""I must tell you-at once. This afternoonor was it yesterday-I took a drive on the riverroad-""Yes, yes, I know all about it. Never mind.""But the ravine,-""I've heard all.""But you couldn't know-you couldn't. ItNas-Kate.--She-"The other's hand moved suddenly."It was Kate," repeated the young man.The older 'one rose quickly and walked tothe wintow. "It was Kate" he repeated to himself.Then after a moment, winding his fingersthrough his iron gray hair. "The campusdoes-n't seem to have changed much afterafter twenty-five years. I thought--."B 'Ulllatl from tbe <tap anb <Sown.The 'literary columns of the Cap and Gownare still open to contributions. Only a veryfew manuscripts have so far been received andit is safe-to-say that a high standard of meritwill be practic"ldly an impossibility in the face oftheir scarcity of materials. Many students believe that the Cap and Gown is hardly the placefor literary effusions, but this must appeal tothe majority of students as a mistaken pointof view.Page after page of statistics and recapitulations is rather dry reading and it is a pleasantrelief to find pieces of real literary merit, such as have heretofore appeared in the annualconcealed in the last pages,even among the advertising matter. It must be supposed thatthose who hitherto have contributed to theCap and Gown are now·� merely delayingthe sending in of their productions. 'The lastbooks must, however, go to press very shortlyand so the editors now make a sort of "lastcall" for. literary matter. Stories and poems ofall kinds are acceptable and should be left inthe Cap and Gown box in the Faculty Exchange inside the corning week.

As the present publication has' asort of secret desire to be successful it seemstherefore that this prerequisite, at least, shouldnot �e disregarded, and for the springquarter the WEEKLY wishes to take the position of a "student publication in the interestsof the University of Chicago." By "student'publication" 'it must be necessarily understood'that in all matters our position shall be thatof. the student body. In dealing with variousmatters which may come up for discussion between faculty and students in the future, weshall endeavor to state' clearly and frankly burQuestionofPolicy. stand in the co ntrovesy, without regard for anyconsiderations excepting the effect of the proposed measure on what the real, true studentopinion considers the best interests of the University.. There should 'not be' g athcred from'this statement any anti-faculty sentiment prevalent inthe WEEKLY Board. On the other hand wewish to disabuse the student mind of, any impression thatthis is a pro-faculty publication.There are many channels: for the expression offaculty 'opinion; in lectures, ,in ,consultatwns,in publications and from a hundred sourcesthe opinions of our profe�sors are constantlypromulgated. Student .. opinion has, on thethe other hand, but one real outlet, the WEEKLY.There are of course, other chances for studentexpression such as are' provided by the councils and by mass meetings, 'which may be heldby the students at any time when questions ofmoment are ,before the University. The councils are, however, a somewhat mysterious bodyof uncertain approach and still more uncertainpowers, to th� majority �f the- student body.A mass meeting is not a usual occurence andeven if brought about not a good place for general discussion. The WEEKLY therefore is themost natural' and easiest outlet for studentopinion. vVe earnestly request the studentsto communicate their opinions on questionsfor discussion, and, in case of a much-agitatedsubject has not been dealt with, or at least notsatisfactorily, by the WEEKLY, to let the Boardbecome aware of the fact. If we are to represent student opinion the students must dotheir part and to drop a note in our box in theFaculty Exchange is not an overly difficulttask. If this paper is denied or does not takethe privilege of expressing student thought,there will be no expression. Restrictedthought is somewhat in the nature of confined.steam and liable to produce unpleasant results.It seems therefore, for the best interests ofthe students and of the Varsity as a whole that871the real student ideas should come to thefront.Furthermore, we do not believe, in addingany any more seriousness to life than than wecan help. Every man Qr woman who is oldenough to go to college ought to have appreciated by this time that the J, 'old, old earthhas troubles enough of its own ;" and that if we" wish to do good, one hearty laugh will outweigh volumes of ponderous pessimism.Therefore we shall publish" this quarter all thegood stories" we can discover aroundthe 'Varsity and we only remind those who maybe touched, at the outset, that the man who" cannot enjoy a joke at his own expense should" always hesitate to laugh at another. Here. again we ask freely for student contributionsand say in summing up, that if the students so" desire itto be? w� will try and "place it in their,power t� make the WEEKLY interesting.The student body of the universlty has a justifiable grievance against Director Stagg, or some oneof authority in the depart-The TennisCourts.ment of physical cultureand athletics. The department has in the past,and at least notably last year, failed to get thetennis courts into any kind of shape for earlyspring practice. The result of this failure" has" been a condition which has made a thoroughlyrepresentative team impossible. The youngerplayers in the 'university, members of the freshman class, who have it in them to play goodtennis, have been thoroughly discouraged intheir first attern pt. Because of a fail ure to getsome practice courts in. shape" early in the. spring, they have been compelled" to go intotrials practicably" unprepared. Thus the olderplayers have had every advantage and few newmen havei-been developed- Fortunately forthe coHege there, have been in the past many,good, tennis, plrtyers in the univer-si�y."But this year there is only one man of th� old team now in college, and the need or mostfavorable conditions for developing the newmen is absolutely imperative. We venture toexpress the hope that Director Stagg will seeto it that at least two courts are put in condition for practice at once. We would suggestthat even in rainy weather the two which arenot in hollows, namely those between Ryerson,the "Gym" and Botany can be put in satisfactory condition with but little effort. Becausethe instructors in the department donot havea great deal of time to spend in coaching thetennis men, is no reason why that sport shouldbe neglected.We would also suggest to the tennis menthat the trials for the tennis team be set for aslate a, .date as possible. This date would aid in, giving the new men a chance to get into shapeso :that they cart show their worth.The University of Chicago has championshipprestige in tennis, and it will take a unitedeffort to maintain our standard this yearAthletic Registration.The registration for the athletic classes forthis quarter is as follows; for football at I I :00,eleven men; for track and- field work at 12: 15,thirty-two have registered, for the first teambaseball squad at 3 :0.0 there are fourteen; for the" reserve baseball team at 4: 30 eight; and for thetrack team at 9: 30, fourteen. This makeseleven men doing football work, twenty-twoplaying baseball and forty-six doing track"werk.
