Immediate Attempts to Arbitrate Wage
Scale Agreement Prove of
No Avall
(By Associated Press)
Washington, Oct. 8. - The govern-
ment intervened today to prevent any
possible stoppage of coal production
next March when the bituminous mm-
ers' wage scale agreement expires,
but its efforts after a four hour con-
ference at the White House between
President Harding and Secretaries
Hoover and Davis and union officials
were said to have been without im-
mediate avail.
The conference was held when the
central committee of the United
Mine Workers of America, headed by
John L. Lewis, president of the or-
ganization, came here at the request
of President Harding to discuss with
the administration the possibility of
undertaking to arbitrate any ultimate
differences with the operators prior
to the expiration of the national
agreement in March. The committee
was received at the White House at
noon, being the guests of the Presi-
dent at luncheon and continuing the
discussion late in the day.
At the conclusion of the r",nference
Mr. Hoover issued a statement, say-
ing that "owing to the situation of thef
miners' leaders as tlb result of the
decision of the Indianapolis conven-
tion to defer discussion of the new
agreement until after their February
meeting, it has been impossible to
come to any immediate arrangement."
MASQUES TO HOLD
AUTUMN TRYOUTS
Masques, women's dramatic organ-
ization, will open its years' work with
tryouts to be held from 3 to 5 o'clock
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday aft-
ernoons in Sarah Caswell Angell hall.
Because of the large number of appli-
cants, freshmen will be beard on Mon-
day and all other women on Tuesdayj
and Wednesday. Each candidate will,
be asked to read or recite something
of her own choice.
Membership is limited to 50 in order
to allow each member to take an ac-
tive part, but tryouts are open to all
University women who are interested
in play production and play reading.
Practical training in every phase of
stage work is given throughout the
year.
The activities of the club will be
under the direction of Prof. J. Raleigh
Nelson who has held this office for
five years.
MONDAY SEES OPENING
BASKETBALLPRATC
ALL IN READINESS FOR INITIAL
GATHERING OF COURT
PLAYERS
With Monday evening set as the
opening night for basketball practice,
Coach E. J. Mather is getting all in
readiness to greet his court candi-
dates. In order to facilitate the distri-
bution of equipment, all men who areE
going out for Varsity basketball are
urged to report between 9 and 12,
o'clock Monday morning at the athletic
office in the Press building for the as-
signment of lockers and equipment.
Practice will commence that evening
at 7 o'clock.
The coach and Captain Rea are an-
ticipating a large turnout for the court
squad. Fundamentals and calisthenics
will occupy the early weeks of prac-
tice, as Mather is a stickler on condi-
tion and complete knowledge of the
basic points of the game. For a short
while, at least, the coach will call out
his men only two nights a week. Later
on the practice sessions will be night-
ly.
As the first game will not take place
until after Christmas intensive drill
will be postponed for some time. z

Plans are progressing rapidly for
the annual Band Bounce which will
take place in the near future in Hill
auditorium. The band will take the
Wisconsin trip and, if possible, the
Illinois trip as well. According to S.
R. Bidwell, '24L, manager of the
band, at least $3,500 will be needed for
each trip. The purpose of the Band
Bounce is to raise part of this
amount.
Several other ideas have been ad-
vanced for securing the money. One
is to have the Varsity band present
a concert in Chicago under the au-
spices of the Chicago alumni. Fur-
thermore, the committee in charge
hopes to obtain permission from the
athletic committee to pass buckets at
the Ohio State game into which it is
hoped that all loyal Michiganites will
contribute freely in order that the
band may make these trips.
The regular bandmen are to be
picked and the uniforms given out the
first of next week. The band this
year will consist of more than 65
pieces. At the next meeting of the
band rewards for service will be giv-
en those who have played for one
year or more. Those playing one year
will receive a silver insignia, while
those serving more than two years, a
gold one.

Dauntless Spirit And High Ideals
Lxplain Success Of Frost 's Career,
(By Delbert Clark)
A man of the people, intensely hu-
man, intensely absorbing personally,'
scholarly without ostentation, whose
accurate sense of values will not al-
low success to spoil him - that is
Robert Frost He is not a large man
physically, but of medium stature, not
at all prepossessing in appearance,
but with a face from which shine in
abundance good nature and bewitch-
ing lenity 'of spirit But as he talks,
in his quiet, flowing voice, the lis-
tener loses view of his stature, his
physical characteristics, and sees only
his greatness of soul, his steadfastness
of purpose. which rise above insur-
mountable obstacles without antagon-
ism or bitterness.
Never Lost Hope
Twenty years of persistent effort in
one field without recognized success
would be sufficient to dampen the
spirit of a smaller man, but not so
with Frost. And at the end of the
period of trial, when success, almost
unanticipated, finally crowned his ef-
forts, the great soul of the man was
unspoiled.
"For 20 years," says Robert Frost,
with whimsical humor, "the supply of
my writings was far in excess of the
demand I had much to sell, but it
was not wanted then. Now I do not
keep up with the demand. And the
demand does not come solely from
those whc pay well. There are the
small, private publications, who pay
nothing, but who may be denied only
on pain of mortal displeasure. Then
there are the weekly magazines of
large circulation, who pay little, but
i4 whose case a refusal means an un-
favorable review of one's next work.
All get promises, but their fulfillment
is more difficult of achievement."
Mr Frost, unlike many of the mod-
erns, is not a commercialized writer.
He does not write a book a year, like
some of the popular novelists, but, in
his own words, "I am a very erratic
writer. I do not write a -poem a
day, and I have no definite time in
which I do write. Some of my things
have been written in the morning,
and some in the middle of the night.
I never write in the afternoon. My
time then is always free. Sometimes
I do not write a thing for six months,
and sometimes I write steadily for six
months. It all depends upon the mood
which possesses me. I do not write
mechanically."
Mr. Frost remarks that he has al-
ways been just a little sorry that his
first volume of verse was not publish-
ed in America, but in a foreign coun-
try, England. After achieving little
material success in this country, Mr.
Frost went to England to reside for a
few years, without plans for getting
his works published. "But one day,"
he said, "following my custom, I was
seated before the fire, reading over a
number of my past efforts. My habit
was to get out my writings at various
intervals, and sit before the fire and
read, them, saving some, consigning
others to the flames. On this partic-
ualr occasion there flashed before my
mind a visualization of some 30 of
them as a group, and I conceived the
idea of combining them in one vol-
ume. Next day I stuffed them in my
pocket and went out in search of a
publisher. The idea of publishing a
whole volume had not occurred to me
before, but the first publisher to
whom I showed the verses acceptedl
them. With that as a starter there
came a measure of recognition.
Americans Madly Idealistic
"The idea that Americans are too
materialistic seems to me to be ri-
diculous," remarked Mr. Frost, in the
course of the conversation. "I am
rather of the firm belief that they are
almost madly idealistic. No other
people in the world is so ready and
enthusiastic in its recognition of lit-
erature than the American. In fact, in
the old country, if the son of a family
announced his decision to follow some

Class elections will be carried on
this year by a simpler system than has

mittee has been appointed by the Stu-
dent council consisting of W. W. Gow-
er, '22, chairman; Edward F. Moore,

freshman lits, will be held on next
Firday, Oct. 14. In order that the mem-
bers of each class may know whom 1
they are to vote on, all nominations
for class officers must be completedI
by Thursday. Arrangements have
been made for the senior lits to nom-
inate on Tuesday, the junior lits on
Wednesday, and the sophomore lits on
Thursday. All these nominations will
be made in University Hall at 4 o'clock
on the days named. In all the other
colleges of the University, nominations
will be made at special class meetings.

STRONG WOLVERINE BACKFIELD1
PROVES "POINT-A-HINUTE
MACHINE
VARSITY IMPROVES MUCH
OVER MT. UNION GAME,
Forward Pass Attack Successful;'
Case Makes Only One First 1
Down Against Yostmenj
Michigan trampled on Case for a
64-0 beating. In no department of thes
game was the scientific school able toI
compare with the Michigan team, and
for the twenty-fourth time the Maize
and Blue claimed a victory.
Backfield Strong
All in all the Michigan team played
better football than it did the weekt
previous. As was to be expectedt
many of the rough spots had beenE
ironed out and a more machine-like
and consistent team took the field
than had hitherto done so. Michi-
gan's backfield put forth a great bat-t
tle and as soon as the line can equal
the performance of the backfield,t
Yost will have a great team.
In yesterday's game the forward
wall did show an improvement. It
fought harder and charged better than
before. The entire game saw more
fight and determination with the nat-
ural result of a higher score. It must
be said, however, that Case was no'
better than was Mt. Union and prob-
ably even a bit weaker.7
Michigan's line broke through more
easily than it did against Mt. Union
and the resistance on the secondary
line was not as great as on the weekt
previous.
Complete Passest
That Michigan has a powerful back-
field cannot be denied. Again Frankt
Steketee starred. For the 15 minutest
that he was in the game, Stek simply
went mad. He tore around the ends,
picking his holes, following his inter-
ference, diving, plunging for longt
gains whenever calledhupon to carry
the ball. Yost took him out at the
end of the first quarter as he was
troubled with a wrenched arm.Kipke,
Usher, Banks, Uteritz, Searle, and
Roby cavorted at will.
Michigan attempted several passes
and was more successful in complet-
ing them than last week. The long
pass was called for in every case.
Case made but one first ,down and
that came only as the result of a pen-
alty for off-side. Nine touchdowns
with 8 goals and a safety made up
Michigan's score. Three more touch-
downs were made but were not al-
lowed because Michigan had been off-
side. Michigan made 26 first downs
and Coach Yost used 28 men in thej
course of the game. A detailed account
of the game follows:

over Hanmilton's head and Vick tac-
kled him behind the line for, a safety,
netting Michigan 2 points. Score:
Michigan 9, Case 0.
Case's-ball on her own 30 yard line.

to Uteritz on the 50 yard line. Kipke
