But don't you imagine for even one fleeting moment that this Michigan team of ours didn't play football. They wore the same suits that clothed the team that M. A. C. defeated, but the resemblance stops right there. They fought every inch of the way, and it isn't "presumptious" to state that when the battle rwas over, the gentlemen from the east were fully aware that they hadn't been invited to come clear out here to attend a pink tea or lawn social, or some simi- lar function. Perhaps the most spectacular fea- ture from a Michigan point of view, was provided by "Jack" Benton, and was staged some 30 seconds before the game was concluded. Benton picked up a fumble and raced 35 yards for a touchdown. The visitors had the ball near the middle and were at- tempting a trick play. Its execution was a trifle faulty, and one of the numerous backs who was scampering around behind the line fumbled. Ben- ton made a pass at the ball with one hand, drove it to the ground, recover- ed on the bounce and set sail for the goal line. Several of the Orangemen formed a persuing party but they might just as well have been up in the bleachers for all the damage they could do. Benton goaled and the game ended two plays later. The new "fight 'em" spirit was in evidence, and every inch of the ground was contested. "Wally" Nieman n played well on defense, nipping Syra- cuse runners on both sides of the line. Outside of Benton's little jaunt, per- haps no one feature of the contest at- tracted quite as much attention as the work of "Pat" Smith who went in for a few minutes. He was only on the field for a brief space of time, but he was the leading spirit without even a close second. "Pat" carried the ball four times for a total of 18 yards, ploughing through for four and five yard advances every time he was given the ball. He also threw a for- ward pass to Dunne which gave Mich- igan 43 yards, the longest Wolverine gain of the afternoon. Syracuse tried eight line plays while "Pat" was on duty, and the big fullback made the tackle on just six of 'these occasions, and the total advance for the visi- tors was five yards. On the other two plays, the one "Pat" left for his assistants, they advanced 13 yards. Both of the easterners's tallies came in the second period. This dis- asterous stanza opened with the ball on the 47-yard line. The first play netted 8 yards, and on the next Cap- tain Rose cleared the entire Mich- igan team and sprinted unmolested across the line. They goaled, and Michigan kicked off. Syracuse march- ed straight down the field, only paus- ing after the line was reached. A forward pass to White, the 273 pound linesman, took the ball to the middle of the field, and from here on they (Continued on page 3) FOOTBA L RESUT/IS Cornell, 45; Virginia T. 14, 0.

Berlin is reported to be in de- spair of any chance of Roumania re- nmailing neutral, and dispatches from Bucharest say that there is no doubt that Roumania is turning a willing ear to the allies' cessions, with Arabia ncl aded. Roumania has 300,000, and perhapse 350,000, well-organized troops in readi- ness, who are as well equipped as any in the Balkan states. In addition to't these forces, the sidting of Roumanial with the allies will allow Russia andt the allied troops to pass through tinat Roehm About to Forward Pass NATIONAL CA PAICb'N FO UNION TO BE CO TINUE FOR EXTRA 30 DAY PERIOD; COMITTEEMEN REQUESTEXTENSION 1% 1 1 Union Totals in LeaingCities I .$ 5 o Ot t) Detroit ..

R. Ballentine, '16, of the committee, yesterday. -, A system has been arranged where- country unhindered. An unolletial re- by a man in each fraternity and house port states that Russia has over 500,- club will be allotted to see the pros- 000 men waiting to cross into Rou- pective Union members in his or an- mania, but this is double the logical ization. Letters will be mailed to these estimate of the men available by the czar. There is little doubt here that Rou- mania will join the allies in return for the cessions of Arabia, despite the re- port from Rome which says that diplo- mats there have little or no confidence in the ultimate action of Roumania either one way or the other. , London, Oct. 30.-King George, who was injured by a fall from a horse while reviewing the allies' forces in France, is reported as rapidly recov- ering. Germans Press Servians Hard London, Oct. 30.-Reports here from the frontier say that the Germans have captured more territory along the en- tire front of the Servian army front, and that the Servians are in full flight in a western direction. Bulgarian re- ports tell of having captured 16 artil- lery guns and great quantities of mu- nitions and provisions along the front in the Timok valley. The Servians, however, say that their troops are still in good order and that with a small reinforcement from the allies they can hold the Ger- man and Bulgarian forces for two weeks longer. Report Three Turkish Ships Sunk London, Oct. 30.-Indirect reports from Bucharest say that the Turkish warships Homal, Breslau and Hamid I Yeh have been attacked by a Russian squadron. A violent battle resulted, but the result is not yet known. Ber- lin in a statement made in The Tage-- blatt says that a large contingent of Russians havesailed from Odessa and Evastopol. These were convoyed by a strong squadron, and the attack on the Turkish vessels is thought to be more in the nature of a repulse of an attack directed toward the discontinuance of the voyage. The Hamid I Yeh is a cruiser built for the Turks by Germany in 190_. inen notifying them of their appoint- ment tomorrow morning. Cards with the list of names for each committee- man have been prepared, and these will be distributed at the Union be- tween 5:00 and 6:00 o'clock on Tues- day afternoon. About 40 of these lists have been prepared. C#1 IN EFS1E-AMERICAN INTERESTS OR ANIZE NEW STEAMSHIP LINE Washington, Oct. 30.-Officials of the Wilson interests here are much interested in the New Pacific and East Steamship company which has been incorporated with a capital of $2,000,- 000. This corporation, of which the Chinese hold half interest, includes all the officers of the Chinese legation. The new line will operate ships carry- ing the American flag, and will ply be- t veen both Atlantic and Pacific coast ports and the far east. The company is getting its financial aid equally from the United States and the Chinese na- tion. Billy and Mrs. Sunday in Syracuse Syracu se,Oct. 30.-The Rev. William A. Sunday and Mrs. Sunday arrived here today over the New York Central at 1:45 p. in. They received a welcome at the depot which was as warm as any that they have been the recipients of at other cities where Billy Sunday has conducted his campaign for the saving of souls. DAVID STAR JORDAN WILL SPEAK TONIGHT Famous Educator to Talk on Peace Subject Before Wesleyan Guild Chancellor David Starr Jordan, of Leland Stanford, Jr., University, who speaks on "The Final Cost of War" at 7:30 o'clock tonight in the Methodist church, arrived in Ann Arbor yester- day from Saginaw, where he has been attending the convention of the Mich- igan State Teachers' association. Ac- cording to present indications this will be the biggest number offered to the campus this year by the Wesleyan Guild. Dr. Jordan is being entertained at the home of Professor Reighard at present, but leaves Ann Arbor tomor- row. Mr. D. W. Springer, secretary of the National Educational association, who knows Dr. Jordan personally, yester- day remarked upon his great range and comprehension of the most varied subjects. One of his greatest .ad- dresses, "The Function of the Univer- sity President," attracted national at- tention because of some of the asser- tions made in it. "Recalling to mind the rather unpromising inception of Leland Stanford, Jr., University, and the manner in which he has helped to win for it a position commanding world-wide respect," said Mr. Springer, "we must give more than passing at- tention to these assertions."' Prof. W. T. Trueblood, of the ora- tory department, has declared Dr. Jor- dan to be "interesting, powerful and direct; a very strong man, and greatly sought after as a lecturer throughout the United States." Takes Action Against National Banks Washington, Oct. 30.-Sharp action was taken yesterday by Controller of the Currency. John S. Williams to check the imposition of usurious in- terest on loans made by national banks. A form letter was addressed to all national banks calling their at- tention to the national banking law which prohibits such institutions to charge over seven per cent interest AMERICN TROOPS PUT RiLA9ORESTO ROUT M1exiean Rebels Beat Iasty Retreat When Uncle Sam's Soldiers Put in Appearance El Paso, Oct. 30.-As a train carry- ing Carranza's troops to Agua Prieta pulled out from the station here this afternoon it was attacked by a body of Villa's troops, who rushed out from their hiding place. The Villa men were only a quarter of a iulle from the train, with but the Rio Grande between them and the loaded train. A company of American soldiers ap- peared from seclusion, and on their appearance, the report states, the Villa men "promptly about faced" and re- treated into the hills. The attempted attack resulted in the Americans dou- bling their guard of the trains carry- ing Carranza's troops to the front. Artillery has been placed on a height above El Paso commanding the scene of the attack, and with this added pro- tection it is considered by the authori- ties that further attacks by theVilla forces at this point will be eliminated. El Paso, Oct. 30.--It is reported by trainmen arriving here tonight that dynamite was discovered on the track near Fadena, which is nearly 30 miles out from here. The report further states that in a brief encounter with the Mexican marauders the American troops fired, killing one and injuring two. Allies Agree on Central Board London, Oct. 30.-At a conference here today between General Joffre and Lord Kitchener, it was definitely de- cided to, inaugurate a central board which is to govern all the military ac- tions of the allies. A closer co-opera- tion between the allies is sought, and this central board is the outgrowth of this feeling. General Joffre was the guest of the British war office today, and while here held conferences with all of the new British war officers.

IThe following night letter, which was read in all committeetmeetings last night, officially announced the continuation of the campaign: "Union authorities have received re- quests from committees that campaign be extended thirty days. University favors this. Project must succeed not only because of its own vital impor- tance but for reputation of the uni- versity and of her alumni. We are conspicuously before the world. Hope you will continue vigorous prosecu tion of the work and follow up every possible prospect. After your Saturday meeting announce through the press that campaign has been extended thir- ty days on account of inability of com- mittees to cover the ground in the time allotted. Harry B. Hutchins." The Union's grand total for the 30- day campaign was approximately $573,000 last night, and all of the cm- mittees had not yet reported. This in- cludes the $37,000areportedtfor the final day of the canvass yesterday. New York City reported the largest gain of all the 206 committees sending in totals last night, the chairman of the New York committee announcing a total of $25,000, with a daily gain of $8,000. The chairman of the com- mittee there also reported that his men had been unable to see more than 40 per cent of their alumni in the allotted time, and he expressed him- self as favoring the proposed exten- sion of time. As one committeeman expressed it, it is not a question of being able to get the money, but of being able to get it in 30 days. A great number of com- mittee chairmen hae asked for this continuation of time when making their reports during the first part of Concentration Week, and those back of the national campaign have decided to give the committees another 30 days in which to see the remainder of th alumni. Late reports 'that will be recei. on Monday morning are expected to bring up the grand total to an even $600,000, and this sum will be suffi- cient to ensure the start of the actual building next spring. In Detroit, the chairman reports that less than 50 per cent of the alumni have been approached, and with as good prospects amon the graduates yet to be seen, the"Detroit committee.is confident that it will be able to raise. the $250,000 assigned it on the basis of the number of alumni in that city.
