IVAN I D.U.S. BARRED
FROM MICHIGAN
INTERsCH0LAST|C
DETROIT PUBLIC SCHOOLS JOIN
IN ALLIANCE TO THIS END
WITH ANN ARsoR II. s.-WHAT
WILL BAIRD DO?

A concerted effort is now in prog
ress. TO secure from the athletic asso-
citation OF the University OF Michigan
declaration that the entry OF Detroit
University schools team will not be
accepted for the Michigan Interschol'
astic. meet, to be held late in the
spring on Ferry Field.
The schools combining to this end
arc Central, Western and Eastern high
of Detroit and Ann Arbor high. Some
assistance is also expected from other
public schools.
II Credit for the inaugural OF the ef-
fort Is unquestionably due TO the De-
troit schools with whom the feeling
against ID. U. n. Is very strong.
Director Baird. of the Michigan Ath-
letic association has been informed
that ID. u. 8. opens its doors TO tramp
athletes, that II allows men 10 qualify
for its teams who are over Il years
of age and that its restrictions for eng
Utility are annually permitting men u
compete, who have been unable 10
qualify in their studies at other
schools
What Mr.. Baird will do in the situa-
ton is q difficult matter 20 predict.
Undoubtedly strong fight Will De
made by ID. u. s. which annually sends
q large proportion OF its graduates 10
Michigan and has contributed 10 the
state university many star athletes.
The public school authorities are
prepared To offer the Michigan people
an alternative which will be nothing
more or less than an opposition meet
al the Detroit Athletic club. 10 be held
ON the same date as the annual Mich
igan interscholastic. With Ann Arbor
and possibly three or four other high
schools participating the Detroit az
fair would undoubtedly greatly detract
from the Ann Arbor event.
Nothing OF formal nature has been
heard of the movement at ID. L. S.
though II is freely admitted that the
attitude of the Detroit public schools
OF late months plainly Indicates their
desire TO keep d. L. 5. out of every
possible opportunity OF competition
with local ana neighboring rivals.
