Although there was no team cham- pionship involved, the meet being held to determine the individual champions in the various events, Michigan rolled up a total of 25 points. The Univer- sity of Southern California, winners of the eastern intercollegiates, was the only school to outscore Coach Steve Farrell's men, the Trojans account- ing for 27% points. Eleven star ath- letes composed the Californian squad, while Coach Farrell was content to enter only his brightest stars, many sure place winners not being entered. This is the third time in the five years that the national meet has been held that Michigan placed among the first three schools, this being the best record made by any school. The Wol- verines finished far in front in 1923, and second last year, besides the sec- ond place earned Saturday. Phil Northrup, captain-elect of the track team, was the outstanding per- former for the Maize and Blue, the versatile performer taking first place in his favorite event, the javelin throw, and second place in the broad jump. Northrup hurled the javelin 200 feet, 10 inches in defeating a star field. John Kuck, the giant weight man of Kansas State Teachers college, was forced to accept third place in the event. North- rup, who fouled twice when clearing more than 24 feet, lost the broad jump honors by a scant margin. Phil did not enter in the pole vault. George "Buck" Hester gave a great exhibition when he pushed the highly touted Roland Locke all the way in the 100 yard dash. Hester led the Nebraska sensation for the first 90 yards, but a final spurt by Locke sent him just inches ahead of Hester. This was the first race the diminutive speed star lost this year. Harry Hawkins' slate of victories in the hammer throw remained inviol- ate when the former football star again led the field, his throw of 148 feet 3 inches proving sufficient for the first place honors. Dick Doyle captured third honors in the discus throw event which was won by the world's record holder, "Bud" Houser, of Southern 'California, who smashed the meet record when he hurled the disc 148 feet 114 inches. Doyle's distance for the event was more than 143 feet, which is the best he has ever done in competition. Nate Feininger is another Wolver- ine entry who bettered his previous performances, the Varsity quarter mil- er upsetting the advance dope when he took third place in the 440 yard event. Feinsinger, who was less than two yards behind the first two runners to cross the tape, broke :49 seconds, which was the former meet record. Schoch, of Illinois, and Kennedy, of Wisconsin, Big Ten champion, who held victories over Feinsinger, were forced to finish fourth and fifth, re- spectively. Vic Leshinsky completed the Wol- verine scoring when he finished in fifth place in a classy field of sprint- ers in the 220 yard dash, iUUyLUULU 1IuRL Standing at attention along the side I wall of the Union ballroom Saturday at the Senior Breakfast, more than EXECUTIVE DENIES SEVERANCE 75 senior women simultaneously lifted OF COLLEGE CONNECTIONS to their lips the slices of lemon, thus AFTER GRADUATIONl announcing to their classmates their recent matrimonial engagements.

Harry G. Messer, class president, presided at the meeting in the ab- sence of Harry Koenig, who was sup- posed to be chairman, and Messer also gave the president's address, in which he explained the plan of the memorial of the class of 1926. The memorial, which consists of endowment insurance policies payable to the University and to come due in twenty years, will provide for the pur- chase of something which could not otherwise be gained by an appropri- ation from the legislature. The second number on the program was the class prophecy, which was given by Walker Everett. Everett' painted a facetious picture of the Uni- versity 20 years from now and ridi- culed the present tendency in atlflet- ics. Leslie Krieger, the class histor- ian, was next on the program and he extolled the record of the class in ath- letics and the building program which it had witnessed. He also mentioned the death of President Burton and the inauguration of Michigan's sixth pres- ident, Dr. Little, which the class had also seen. In the absence of Doris Gladden who was ill and unable to be present the class poem was read by Margaret Effinger; and George Ross, Jr., former Varsity cheer-leader, delivered the ora- tion, dealinghwith thequestion of one- sidedness which enters into so many lives both before and after gradua- tion. The last address of the program was given by Dean John R. Effinger of the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, who stressed the fact that the path of life is never smooth and that a good reward will always follow good work. "The thing that should mark the difference between the college gradu- ate and the same man if he had not graduated from college should be the more complete realization of the ex- tent and magnitude of the world and the knowledge that there is therein," Dean Effinger said, "And the small portion of that knowledge which any one person can know." Urges Subservience Of Self To Worthy Aims As Opposed To Working For Personal Gain Speaking to an audience that com- pletely filled Hill auditorium, Presi- dent Clarence Cook Little delivered the annual baccalaureate sermon to the class of 1926 at 11 o'clock Sunday morning. President Little chose as his text a part of the 35th verse, 8th; chapter of Mark, that whosoever will save his life shall lose it, but whoso- ever shall lose his life, the same shall save it. He said that it was a definite condemnation of self centered and narrow interests-the pointed accu- sation against the man who values his actions by the standards of what, they will bring him in prestige, power, or worldly gain. "You cannot fail, I am sure," he1 said, "to see that your greatest achievements in college and the undy- ing friendships and the living mem- ories of great men are all of them founded on the principles of complete self denial of enthusiasm for an ideal, lived hour after hour, day after day, year after year." President Little found many in- stances of -men attempting obviously to "save" their lives and creating petty things, and "losing" their lives: and attaining immortality. Among the former he found the "carefully consistent individually stamped para-' graphs of Henry James," compar- ed with "The Rover" and the "Rescue" of Conrad in which Conrad completely lost his own identity. English Statesman Emphasizes Value Of University As Preparation For Life Meeting for the last time as under- graduated in the University of Michi- gan, seniors in all schools and col- leges of the University assembled at Ferry field this morning for the 82nd annual Sommencement exercises. Garbed in the academic caps and gowns the procession of almost 1700 me'n and women graduates started the march from the campus to Ferry field at about 8:10 o'clock, led by the Varsity Band. A huge crowd of al- most 20.000 that filled the immense South stand, had preceded them, and shortly after the arrival at the field the program-started. Sir Alexander Frederick Whyte, former member of the English Parlia- ment and President of the Indian Legislative Assembly, gave the Com- mencement address, and told the grad- uates that the gifts of the University are like the talents of the Parables, without value in themselves but capable of immeasurable multiplica- tion through use.
