Club of Philadelphia Requests Privilege of Quartering Organization RESERVATIONS ON TRAIN OPEN Further evidences of enthusiasm among Philadelphia alumni over the Penn-Michigan game on next Satur- day came into the, band office yester- day in the form of a telegram to S. J. Hoexter, faculty manager of the musi- ciaus. It read: "The U. of M. club of Philadelphia request it as a courtesy that the band be lodged at the Hotel Walton, the Michigan headquarters. The club will pay for the rooms. Wire care U. S. Mint. T. L. Comparettis." This means that the Quaker City alumni are doing all in their power to make their reception to the visitors a cordial one, and it only rests with the Michigan supporters to make the game a success from the enthusiasm standpoint. Wednesday night's Band-Cer-Tain- ment was a success from the financial standpoint, as approximately $700 had been turned in up to last night. It is imperative, however, that those ticket sellers who have not yet reported, do so at once. The band office in the en- gineering shops building is open for reports every afternoon. Reservations in the special train that is to go to Philadelphia Thursday afternoon may be made at the Michi- gan Union or the Bond street store, any day up to the time the train leaves. Any surplus made on the trip is to be rebated. The rate has been fixed at $28.25, a lower berth costing $7.00 and an upper berth $5.00. Those who wish may double up in the berths. This train will carry the rooters and the band, the Varsity leaving Wed- nesday, and the scrubs Friday. CONDITION EXAMS TO BE HELI) FOR DENT STUDENTS FRIDAY A written examination for the re- moval of conditions in Materia Medica will be held in the dental amphitheater from 10 to 12 o'clock Friday morning, November 12. All seniors who are conditioned in this subject are to take the examination. TAFT ADVOCATES PREPAREDNESS Thinks There is no Danger of America Becoming Militaristic Boston, Mass., Nov. 5.-Reasonable preparedness was advocated by former President William Howard Taft in a speech made here today. He says that he is no pacificist, but that the nation should not be left helpless. "The nation should be in a position to command justice from other coun- tries. We should not be put in a posi- tion where other powers can take any advantage. There is no danger of America succumbing to militarism, be- cause the spirit of the nation is en- tirely opposed to that sort of prepared- ness. ACCMULTE fPEP' AT MASSMEETING Prominent Alumni Inspire Old Spirit of Fight in Rooters Present at Last Yell-Fest COACH YOST GIVES SHORT TALK Snap and ginger stuck out all over the big mass meeting for the Cornell game last night in Hill auditorium. It was the last yellfest of the football season, and each one of the speakers aimed directly at getting the team and the student body keyed up for today's battle with the Ithacans. Three speakers were on the pro- grain : Judge James 0. Murfin, '95- '96L; Judge George P. Codd, '91, and George McMahon, '16. Coach Field- ing H. Yost also gave a short talk after the meeting had officially closed. Judge Murfin, always a favorite at Michigan mass meetings, was cheered lustily when he got to the heart of the situation as regards Michigan's previous defeats this season. "At both the M. A. C. and Syracuse games," he said, "I offered the alibi that 'Michi- gan can't win every game! But, by heck," he continued, "we can't lose them all either." The speaker for the alumni, many of which occupied a reserved section near the stage, was Judge Codd. His viewpoint was that good sportsman- ship was as essential as victory to the athletic reputation of the univer- sity. George McMahon, '16, the student speaker, tried to show that Cornell's football team is not as strong as it is touted to be. He said that the only real victory that the Red and White has won, the Harvard game, was se- cured by sheer luck. Michigan's All- Fresh team would stand a good chance of beating Cornell, he claimed, giving comparative scores of the All-Ftesh- Heidelberg, Heidelberg-Oberlin, and Oberlin-Cornell games to prove his point. Coach Yost, who talked for a few minutes after the singing of the "Yel- low and Blue," said that victory today would depend largely upon the spirit of fight which the team and rooters show at the game. University women, who were to have been featured in the rooting, were somehow lost in the fracas, and were not given an opportunity, as wo- men, to show what they could do in the way of real noise. (Continued on Page Six) NAVY USES WIRELESS TELEPHONE Secretary Daniels Sends First Message to Test Wireless Telephone for Use In Navy Washington, Nov. 5.-Secretary Dan- iels today sent the first naval order by wireless telephone. The test was for the purpose of demonstrating the practicability of wireless telephony for the navy, both in times of peace and war. It was carried on by the companies interested. The message was sent to Rear Ad- miral Usher and was as follows: "Re- DOCTRS REPORTED SLAIN STILL ALIVE Mea Whom Vilb Claimed Killed by Carranza Shell Are Prisoners of Chieftaip OBREGON COMES TO AGUA PRIETA Naco, Arizona, Nov. 5.-Dr. H. R. Thicher and Dr. James Miller and the two chauffeurs who were reported killed yesterday in the battle of Agua Prieta are alive and well in Cananea, the prisoners of Villa there. Dr. H. C. Wickman, who was a pris- oner of the chieftain, and who reached the border today, claims to have seen the men. George Shaw a truck driver who took supplies to the Villa forces, and who returned to Naco today, said that he saw the men alive last night. Officials of the Cananea Consolidated Copper company took the matter up with Villa and he assured them that the men were alive. He said that he had made a mistake in reporting them dead. It is thought that he attempted to arouse the sentiments of the Amer- ican people against Carranza and his government by stating that four United States citizens had been killed by Car- ranza shrapnel. The four men who were killed were teamsters who had joined Villa of their own free will. Villa left Naco today for Cananea. From there he expects to proceed to the Pacific coast towns of Sonora to open a campaign. Carranza forces are being rushed to attempt to overwhelm the men who will follow Villa. General Obregon, commander-in- chief of the Carranza armies, is ex- pected in Agua Prieta tomorrow to take charge of the forces concentrated there and to continue the campaign against the remnants of Villa's army. FOUR HUNDRED COUPLES PLAN T1 DANCE IN COMBINED GYMS Contingous Music Will be Feature of Huge Cornell Game Ball; Alumni Welcome Indications are that the Cornell game dance to be given tonight in the combined gymnasiums by the Michigan Union will be one of the most festive social events of the year. Al- ready over 350 tickets have been sold and many will probably be purchased tomorrow. This assures an attendance of at least 400 couples. The feature of the occasion will be continuous music. Two eight-piece "Ike" Fisher orchestras, one situated in Barber gymnasium, the other in Waterman gym, will produce the mu- sic. They will play alternately, one starting immediately the other stops, thus supplying incessant music and thereby satisfying the most strenuous terpsichorean enthusiasts. Four hundred couples will trip the light fantastic from 8:30 to 12:00 o'clock, being refreshed at intervals from bowls of delicious Hawaiian punch. Michigan alumni will be most welcome at the party. Prof. and Mrs. Frank H. Stevens and Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur R. Humphreys will be the chaperons for the evening. Sings of Michigan in Heroicntnzas Just as the war is producing war poetry, so the present football season is causing the addition of poetic effort on the part of many budding poets. In a recent number of the Yale Daily News, the following poem by Grant- land Rice, appeared, showing that al- though many years ago our rivals of- ten refused to recognize our superior- ity in football, now as they look back they must acknowledge that in the days of 1901-1905 Michigan was the regular cock of the walk. "I remember the stand at Thermopylae The Greek Guard made one day; I remember the legions that Caesar used To shatter the Gallic sway; And I remember across the years, Two banners that crowned the crest, When Yale was king of the conquered east And Michigan ruled the west. At night in my humble den I dream Of the glories that used to be- Of Hannibal taking the Alpine trail, O Drake on the open sea. And then I wander the ancient ways To a dream that I love best, When Yale was king of the conquered east And Michigan ruled the west." And just an additional word--when the next trip is made, back in the ar- chives of football history, some men- tion is going to be hade of That Michigan Band and That Michigan Spirit, and the cmeback in '15 that started th'e Yost men on another vic- torious march to victory. PASSENGER STEAM E AFIRE AN) GROUNDED ON DANGEROUS COAST Rear Admiral Winslow Goes to the Rescue with Flagship San Diego Los Angees, Cal., Nov. 5.-With 61 passengers and a crew of , 1on bnrd, the steamer Fort Brock, headed for San Francisco from Guaymar, is ashore and afire on the coast of Lower California near San Jose Beleago. This message was received by wire- less from Rear Admiral Winslow, of the flagship San Diego. The captain of the Fort Brock got in touch with Admiral Winslow, saying that he need- ed assistance as soon as possible and that fire was raging on board. The situation is doubly serious in that a heavy sea is running and there is danger that the boat may go to pieces. The point at which the ship is aground is one of the most danger- ous on the southern coast because it is practically impossible to effect a landing.

The coach tconducted the scrubs out onto the Varsity's sacred domains and had the-, run through the different Cornell formations.
