Once there was a Stude. He had a 14 Three B Pipe and an English Hat, and he thought himself Some Cheese. There was another Stude who smoked a Corncob and wore Corduroys. He knew he wasn't much and wondered at the Price of that English Hat. The Day of the Rush came. the Cheese decided that being a Sophomore It would not go to the.Rush. The Corncob figured that as he was a Soph, he would go to the Rush. Now the Cheese had a Swell' Dame, who watched the Rush from the Bleachers. She saw the Big Doings of the Corncob and said to the Cheese, who stood at her side, "Who is that Swell Guy in the Corduroys? Ain't he Brave?' So she got a knockdown to the Corncob and gave the Cheese the Icy Mitt. Then the Corncob married the Swell Dame, and they lived happily ever after- wards. Moral: Go to the Rush.

Hussey, formerly director of the university observatory, is still located at' the Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Argentine Republic. Mrs. Hussey has recently returned from the South American country where she spent the summer months with her husband. The university includes scientific courses, resembling the state universities in this country. The ob- servatory with which Professor Hus- sey is connected has been built for twenty years, while the university proper is but six years old. When asked of the nature of Pro- fessor Hussey's work in South Amer- ica, Mrs. Hussey said: "My husband :s now reorganizing the observatory, and arranging and re-constructing the various instruments. Carrying on his research work with an eighteen inch refractor, Professor Hussey discover- ed, during the month of September, forty- new double stars. He has in charge a large equipment and many valuable instruments for experimental purposes. "Professor Hussey will leave Argen- tina in January, arriving here in Feb- ruary. He will remain in Ann Arbor until school closes in June, returning to South America at that time." RECOGNITION GIVEN MICHIGAN, BY EAST Intersectional Games Said To Help Place Wolverines in HighRank THIS YEAR'S GAMES A TEST. The following editorial, entitled "Recognition from the East" will ap- pear in the October issue of the Mich-, igan Alumnus: . "That Michigan, by her series of annual football games with Pennsyl- vania and other eastern universities, is succeeding in securing recognitionE for the Western brand, i. e., the Yost brand, of football from the easternt press, is apparent from an article which appeared in the New York Ev- ening Mail of October 7. Comment-s ing on the approaching games withj Pennsylvania, Cornell and Syracuse, the Evening Mail correspondent says: 'There had always been a tendency1 hereabouts to take it for granted that the western game (of football) was in- ferior to that played in the East, though the problem had never been worked out on the field. A series of Pennsylvania successes over Michigans tended to strengthen this belief. In1 1909, however, the Wolverines won, and last year held the Quakers, admit-; tedly one of the most powerful andc vesatile elevens in the East, to a no- score tie. Michigan's success against Pennsylvania last season and the year before has done much to create a growing respect for the sort of foot-, ball they play on the far side of the Alleghenies. 'Intersectional battles have becomei more popular and carry added inter-] est. This season, more than any pre- vious year, the schedule provides a lot of it. Beginning with a game againstl Syracuse on November 4, Michiga ] has three successive Saturdays filled with eastern opposition. Syracuse plays at Ann Arbor on the first Sat- urday of the month, the Wolverinesi come east to tackle Cornell at Ithaca on the 11th, and a week following is ati home to Pennsylvania in what hasi come to be the biggest game of thel year for both teams.4 'Playing Cornell and PennsylvaniaE on successive Saturdays, Michigan so tits into the schedule that it should be possible to get a very fair line on the1 (Continued on Page 4.) U, I1. A ,POLICY IS UPHELD BY.FACULTY Humorist's Communication in Daily is Roughly Handled By Professors BURNS A "MAN OF THE .HOUR." The communication published in The Michigan Daily for yesterday, comparing Detective William J. Burns, a feature of this year's S. L. A. course, with such men as "Nick Carter" and "Jack" Johnson, is not meeting with much favor on the campus. The writ- er seemed to infer that such a man as Mr. Burns does not maintain a scholarly enough standard for S. L. A. attractions. "The engagement of Mr. Burns for a number on the S. L. A. is perfectly justifiable," said Registrar A. G. Hall, when seen yesterday. "I regard Burns as deserving of a hearing as John Mitchell who has already lectured for, the same courses. The latter I enjoy- ed immensely." Secretary Goddard, of the law de- partment sees no reason for objectingj to the engagement of Detective Burns. "If the writer of the letter in the Daily had helped assemble' an S. L. A. pro- gram," said Prof. Goddard, "he would appreciate the effort required to se- cure such a 'man of the hour' as Burns. I believe that a person able enough to, fill space in McClure's magazine is good enough for us to hear."1 "Such men as Mr. Burns are alright in proper doses," said Associate Dean W. H. Butts, of the engineering de-i partment. "This man can teach us the1 value of observation, just like A. Conan] Doyle, and he should prove instruct-; ive as well as entertaining." "I regard the communication in The Daily as a fair piece of banter," said Prof. R. M. Wenley. "The advisabil- ity of securing Burns depends entirelya on whether the S. L. A. wishes to pro-I vide a course for entertainment, or for education."1 Maurice C. Myers, '11, '13 L, once in-I terviewed Detective Burns for a Min- neapolis paper. "Mr. Burns seems1 like a well-bred man and does not sug-i gest the dime novel sleuth," said My- ers yesterday. "He resembles a pros-1 perous business man in appearance: and certainly possesses an attractive? personality." (Continued on page 4.)] GAS METER RHYMES. by our own WaW rMason. I'm Not in the Whirl. I shave my neck; I part my hair in the middle. I wear "pants" not trousers, and call a violin a "fiddle." I don't smoke the pill; I don't know the Var- sity yell. I haven't a bubble duster, or even a six-cylinder smell. I speak plain English not rah-rah slang. And, although I'm a pretty good fellow, I don't suit the college gang; for I have- n't a hairy hat or a hobbled girl, and, besides my coat's too long; so I'm not in the whirl. When I ponder over my griev- ances, I find there's something wrong that hurts. I'm rated in class 2, compared with mollycod- dles who should be wearing skirts. Fate is dealing aces from the bottom of the deck,- cheating in a most underhanded way. At home 'tis said I'm a youth of "much promise" but here-well, I'm not in the whirl New Field Song Goes on Sale. "Varsity," the new field song by Lawton and Moore, has been published by the University Music House. . The cover, in three colors, was drawn by J. H. Meier, winner of last year's op- era poster contest, and shows a be- megaphoned cheer leader, starting in front of the twenty-yard line, with an Irish terrier for an assistant. NEW VARSITY SONG WILL BE FEATURED AT BIJOU. "Dear Old Michigan," the Varsity song by C. Arthur Blass, .'12 L, and Julius Wuerthner, '12 L, will be fea- tured at the football night program at the Bijou theater this evening. The theater management hopes to have a celebration that will in some meas- ure take the place of a mass meeting.
