Shortly after midnight this morning inmates of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority were aroused from sleep by the odor of smoke. Investigation showed a fire to have broken out around the furnace. Alarm was im- mediately turned in but the' fire al- ready had a good start, and smoke was issuing from all sides of the house. At the time of going to press the outcome was hard to foretell, but the firemen believed the fire to be under their control. TWO LAW TEAMS MEET TODAY; AND ENGINEERS WILL CLASH. Two interclass .games will be play- ed today on South Ferry field. The senior and junior laws will play off the tie which was the result in Tues- day's game, and the sophomore and junior engineers will meet. The gam- es will be called promptly at 9:30. Karl Matthews, Clarence Sessions and Bruce Bromley will officiate' at the law game. Edward Saler, Max Kuhr and Hiram Carpenter will judge at the engineer game. President Hutchins Postpones Trip. President Harry B. Hutchins intend- ed to leave for Chicago on business yesterday, bt the press of local Uni- versity affairs made it necessary for him to postpone the trip indefinitely. He was to have attended a meeting of the Association of American Univer-I sities. By noon today nearly every class on the campus will have chosen its of- ficers for the coming year. The elec- tions will be held in the various de- partment buildings between the hours of 9:15 and 12:15, under the super- vision of the Student Council. Campaigning by the majority of the candidates has been unusually intense this year, and especially in the fresh-i men classes close contests are being' looked for. Many of the classes have abolished the pledging of votes, how- ever. Following are some of the rules governing the elections: A man shall vote with the class in. which he has the majority of his work. In order to vote members of classes shall have paid their class dues through the present year. Class treas- urers will be on hand at the polls to receive delinquent dues. The Australian Ballot shall be used. No --candidate for office shall be a UNION TO MtATE TELEGRAPH REPORTS OF THE BIG GAMES. , a - __ The Union management has arrang- ed with the Postal Telegraph Compa- ny to have all the football scores to- day both east and west reported to KEEN EXCITEMENT SHOWN OVER GAME Enthusiasm at Mass Meeting Evidence of Student Sentiment. CROWD CHEERS "DAN" MeGUGIN. A boundless quantity of "pep" was displayed at the second mass meeting of the year last night It effervesced when the band appeared to start the performance, and finally broke forth- in one mighty cheer from 3,000 root- ers for the team, when it came out.. The yells were produced in the most gingerly manner shown this .year, un- ,der the leadership of "Hap" Haskins, "Eddie". Hanavan, "Tommy" Doran, and Emery Munson. "Varsity," the new song came ini for a share of the exuberance of the evening. A ring- ing cheer Went up when "Jack" Ly- man, general chairman of the evening, introduced coach "Dan" McGugin of the Vanderbilt team.. "What about the result of the game tomorrow?". said "Dan," "Well, if you ask every one in the South, every man on the team, and me, the answer is the same. We expect to win. We nev- er go into a game that we do not in- tend to win." "Michigan meets a worthy foe on the gridiron tomorrow," declared Prof. M. R. Tilley, of the English depart- ment, the other speaker of the even- ing. Every year we stage a number of football matches, but there is none that has such general interest as that The Markham pottery is of unusual interest to local people because of the fact that the designer, Mr. Herman C. Markham; was once a member of the University faculty. Mr. Markham entered the pottery business under peculiar circumstances. He had a great number of roses about his home and was unable to buy suitable vases for the flowers. For this reason he began designing his own pottery vas- es. The specimens of his work on ex- hibit prove his success in this line of endeavor. Oxygen Helmet to be Used. The mechanical engineering depart- ment has under advisement the pur- chasing of an oxygen helmet for use in the refrigeration plant in the me- chanical laboratory. Experiments plar.ned with the refrigeration appa- ratus make the choice of such a safe. ty device essential. There is *at pres- ent no means of rescuing a student working in the plant if one should be overcome with the ammonia fumes. The oxygen helmet, is equipped with a lining of wool-felt to make it air tight. Inside of the helmet is a little tube connected with an air cylinder which is strapped to the back of the neck. There is air enough in the cyl- inder, when fully charged, to last about an hour and a half. Besides this specific use the oxygen helmet can be used in fire emergencies. * The refrigeration plant will be plac- ed in operation in a few weeks, and the mechanical department will carry out a series of experiments with the Corliss engine in order to determine the mechanical efficiency and economy of the engine. S. C. A. HOLDS NOVEL CONTEST AT RECEPTION TO STUDENTS. Director Bert St. John is E thusiastic Over Showii of Tryouts for "The Awa ened Rameses." SCENERY WILL BE ELABORUA Secondary Tryouts for Speaking Pai To Be Held Next Week. "The jury-committee that pass judgement on the talent that has con oefore us this night will sit. long a will worry much before it decides t speaking' cast," said Bert St. John,d rector of "The Awakened Ramese after the reading tryouts were finish last evening. "About thirty men tri( out this evening, and I must say. th never before have I seen such e c lent material. The degree of abil is so high that it may be necessa for one or two of the parts to be e tirely written over to give the pr: cipals more scope." This opinion the very unusual abilitypofp tl men was shared by Joseph Hu nut, the writer of the boo who said, "I could not hope to have t lines of my book interpreted bett considering that the men jad nei seen the words before. It looks like big year for the opera." Because of the elaborateness of t scenery and costumes, and because the work of hearing the tryouts time has been put on the stage effec Lists will be made out anid the orde placed for the scenery and costuir some' time next week.
