ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1921 PRICE FIVE CEN' i GOVERNMENT TAKS STEPS TO PREVENT SHORHTAGE O-F COAL HARDING, HOOVER. AND DAVIS CONFER WITH UNION OFFICIALS NO DEFINITE DECISION GIVEN OUT AT MEETING 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."

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.

As the first game will not take place until after Christmas intensive drill will be postponed for some time. z PLAN BAND TRIPS STO BIG TEN GAMES OFFICIALS STRESS OHIO TICKET RULE Entertainment Being Arranged toI Raise Funds Necessary for Journeys .USICIANS MIGAT PRESENT . SEASON CONCERT IN CHICAGO 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. CLASSES MEET FRI TO CHOOSE OFFICERS STUDENT COUNCIL COMMITTEE CHARGE OF FALL BALLOT- ING NAMED IN 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 (Continued on Page Ten) Class elections will be carried on this year by a simpler system than has been the custom in the past. A coin- mittee has been appointed by the Stu- dent council consisting of W. W. Gow- er, '22, chairman; Edward F. Moore, '22E; William M. Brown, '22D; and Ralph 0. Rychener, '22M. According to the plans that have been made the elections of all class officers, fwith the exception of the 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. The freshman lit class will nominate its officers after the "Talks to Fresh- men" meeting a week from tomorrow and its elections will be made at a separate meeting, the time of which will be announced later.

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: * First Quarter Captain Dunne won the toss and chose to defend the west goal. Reed-, kicked off to Steketee on Michigan's 20 yard line. Steketee returned the ball to the 35 yard line. Kipke made 4 yards through right tackle. Stek- etee took the ball for 15 yards on a run around right end. Kipke hit right tackle for a 5 yard gain. Usher made 2 yards through center. Kipke and Banks added 4 yards and Steketee failed to score a field goal from the{ 40 yard line when the ball went short of the goal posts. Hamilton failed to gain for Case and Sloat fumbled. Banks recovered and it was Michigan's ball on Case's 20 yard line. Steketee hit the line for 6 yards and Kipke made 10 on an end run. Steketee made 2 through center and Kipke failed to gain when the Scientists fought fiercely to defend their goal line. On the next play Usher made 1 yard through right tac-' kle and Kipke followed by scoring the first touchdown. Steketee kicked goal. Score: Michigan 7, Case 0. Steketee kicked off to Mohr on Case's 20 yard line Hamilton failed to gain through Michigan's line and Mohr made 6 yards around left end. Hamilton punted to Banks, who was downed on the 50 yard line.

Kipke made two yards off tac kle. * Steketee skirted end for 16 yards and Usher added 4 through right tackle. Uteritz went in for Banks. Steketee punted to Linn on Case's 8 yard line.

Mohr failed to gain. Case's center passed the ball 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. Linn failed to gain. Hamilton punted to Uteritz on the 50 yard line.

Utertz went through the line for 10 yards and Searle hit the line for an added 7 yards. Kipke skirted left end for 15 yards.
