THICK6 FOG- FOR
EGYPT CALAMTY
COMMANDING OFFICER OF SEINE
MAKES REPORT TO MIN-
ISTRY
NEARLY 100 PERSONS
LOST BY COLLISION
Two American Missionaries on Way
To India Are Among Those
Missing
(By Associated Press)
Brest, May 22.-The thickest fog in
years around the Finisterre-Eusant
light alone was responsible for the
catastrophe to the British steamship
Egypt, according to Captain Bebarzic,
commanding officer of the freight
steamer Seine, in his report to the min-
istry of merchant marine.
The Seine rammed the Egypt Sat-
urday night and nearly 100 perosns
lost their lives in the disaster. Among
them were two Americans, Mrs. M. L.
Sibley; and Miss V. M. Boyer, mission-
aries on their way to India.
"The fog was so thick," says the re-
port, "that the captain on the bridge
was unable to see the bow of his ship.
On Saturday at 4:20 p. m. the fog be-
=came so thick I gave orders to slow
down to 50 revolutions a minute, thus
:making an average speed of six knots.
When at 7 o'clock, I heard a fog horn
quite close, and immediately a huge
bulk appeared at right angles crossing
our bow, I gave orders to reverse
the engines, but too late-a terrible
crash occurred, my ship striking the
,other amidships."
The disaster occurred a few miles
from Green Rocks, where the Drum-
Smeond Castle was wrecked in June,
1896, with a loss of 247 lives.
LINDSAY TO APEAR ON
POET SERIES OF TA S
WILL GIVE INTERPRETIVE READ-
INGS FROM OWN WORKS
TOMORROW
Vachel Lindsay, modern American
strolling minstrel poet, will give in-
terpretive readings from his works at
8 o'clock tomorrow evening in Hill
auditorium in the fifth and last num-
ber of the poet series of poet talks
conducted under the auspices of the
American Association of University
Women, and Whimsies.
Mr. Lindsay, whose poetry is, in
many instances, half song, half poet-
ry, chants them in a manner peculiar-
ly his own. Once having heard his
highly original declamations, it is said
k that it is impossible for anyone to
forget the tunes and tempo. Without
this variation of manner and melody
much of the verse is mere rumbling
and repetitive.
Among his best known works is
"The Congo," a lyric chant in- several
parts. This is probably one of his
best known works, though "The Chi-
nese Nightingale,'' from his latest vol-
ume of verse, is rapidly becoming pop-
ular for its unusual beauty of thought
and happy choice of words to express
the melody.
His "General Booth Enters into
Heaven," with its accompaniment of
brass instruments and tambourines,
blends noise, novelty and an old ecs-
tasy, with its theme the glorification,
not of the Salvation Army alone, but
of a spirit greater and far beyond it.

Daily Pictorial '
Edition Out Fri.
Athletic teams and individuals in
action, campus honor society initia-
tions, and annual University events
such as the Spring and Fall games,
Swing-out, and Cap Night, will be
among the subjects of photographs in
the Daily Pictorial Edition for 1922,
which will be on sale Friday and Sat-
urday on State street and at Ferry
field.
Sixteen pages of special tinted gloss-
surfaced paper, with photographs in
dark brown, will make up the edi-
tion. Not the ordinary coarse-screen
newspaper plates, but the best maga-
zine cuts, will be used i printing the
photographs, so that each of the pic-
tures in the edition may be worth
keeping.
Though The Daily has in past years
issued several similar editions, this
year's will be far the largest and
most elaborate ever attempted.
PROF, OI EL
OFINDIANS'VIEWS
Describes Red Skins' Acts of Valor
Necessary to Become a
Chief
WILL SPEAK THIS AFTERNOON
ON ORIGIN OF THE STATE
That the early American Indian was
essentially democractic in his ideals
and institutions, that valor was the
ideal to a great extent for which he
lived, that his life was governed main-
ly by superstitions, fears, and visions,
and that he had his own definite ideals
of life and sentiments akin to our own
were some of the statements made by
Prof. Robert H. Lowie, of the Univer-
sity of California, in his address yes-
terday afternoon on "The Plains In-
dian's View of Life," given in Natural
Science auditorium.
Four Acts of Valor
Professor Lowie, in speaking of the
plains or prairie Indian, said that his
main acts of valor were four. First,
to strike or touch the body of an en-
emy while fighting or as soon as he had
killed; second, to =wrest from an en-
emy his weapon while in battle; third,
to steal a horse from a well guarded
place in the midst of the enemy's
camp; fourth, to lead successfully an
army into battle. If he did all four of
these he became a chief, and then in-
herited the right to tell of his deeds
of heroism.
"There was one other thing," said
Professor Lowie, "for which a man re-
ceived the greatest credit, thought it
seems to have been done seldom, and
that was to rescue a wounded or help-
less comrad from the field of battle, es-
pecially when deserted by his fellow-
soldiers."
Are Generous
"Another ideal of these Indians was.
that of generosity, and individual mer-
it, though this did not compare with
that of valor," he said.
He spoke of the great extent to
which superstition governed their
lives, telling of their great belief in.
visions for which many often maimed
themselves. He also also told of their
ancient custom of uniting for ceremon-
ial worship, in which the priest of-
ficiated.
Professor Lowie is an author, lec-
turer, and an authority on primitive
people in America. He will speak at
4:15 o'clock this afternoon in Natural
Science auditorium on "The Origin
of the State."
PLAY PRODUCTION CLASS TO
GIVE LAST PLAY THURSDAY
Prof. R. D. Hollister's play produc-
tion class will give its last play Thurs-

day night at 8:10 o'clock, when it will

evening may be permitted to do so and
yet attend the play. Professor Hollist-
er announces that the doors will be
closed throughout the scenes in order

Interested in Activities
In asking Professor Tilley for the
Cap Night celebration the committee
believes that it has obtained. a man
whose interest in student affairs and
activities will give him an opportu-
nity of saying something well worth
while to the mixed assemblage that1
night. He has worked with the stu-
dents as a member of the Board in
Control of Student Publications and
in other capacities and is able to speak1
not only from the standpoint of a
faculty member but from that of a
student as well.
Other plans are being carried out
by the committee to have everything
in readiness for the occasion, and to!
make this year's Cap Night one of
the most successful ever held. Free
movie shows have been scheduled
through the courtesy of the manage-
ments and provisions for the taking
care of the traffic jam, that has re-
sulted in past years after the cere-
mony is over, are being worked on.
"Sleepy Hollow," the scene of so many
traditional pot burnings, is being
given a thorough going over and will
soon be in condition to receive an-
other class of would-be sophomores.
Souvenir Programs to Be Sold
A feature of the evening will be the
souvenir programs, the exact size and
color of the freshman pot, which will
be sold by boy scouts for 10 cents at
the fire. These programs will con-
tain all of the songs of Cap Night that
have become a part of that ceremony,
and also a unique history of the af-
fair. The proceeds will go to the
Veterans' Memorial fund for complet-
ing the Union reading room.

ENGINEERING SCHOOL WILL
PROBABMY HOLD ALL CLASSES
Students in the College of Litera-
ture, Science,. and the Arts, have been
granted a full holiday on Friday, June
2, which falls on the day preceding
the opening of final examinations. The
action was taken by officials of the
literary college, with the approval of
the President and the Dean's Advis-
ory committee, in order to provide a
day free from class work before the
opening of the examination period.
None of the other colleges have
made a simliar move for a holiday.
'There are two other schools, the En-
gineering and the Pharmacy college,
that are acting on a schedule that
would permit the giving of this extra
day to study," said Dr. F. E. Rob-
bins, assistant to the President. "The
faculty of the Engineering school has
decided that the time could not be
spared from classes, while the College
of Pharmacy has not yet reported
whether it will hold classes or not
on that day."

(Special to The Daily)
Iowa City, Ia., May 22.-Michigan
defeated Iowa here today in the
eleventh inning when Shackleford
singled through the infield with Wim-
bles on third base. Shackleford was
the hitting star of the game as his
home run in the ninth tied the score
Wimbles was also hitting the ball
hard, getting four hits in six trips
to the plate.
Iowa batted first and fell on Liver-
ance for four runs, twostriples and a
double aiding in the scoring. Shultz
then relieved him and held Iowa to
five runs until relieved by Dixon in
the tenth.
The Michigan team scored two runs
in the second but went scoreless from
then until the seventh, when five hits
and a base on balls netted them three
runs.
..Michigan Ties It Up in Ninth
Frohwein, Iowa pitcher, began to
weaken in the ninth and after the first
wo men hit safely, he was relieved
by Becker. Knode tripled and Shac-
kleford made his home run before
Michigan was retired with four runs
chalked up to their credit.
Wimbles, first up in the eleventh
doubled, was sacrificed to third and
scored on Shackleford's single. The
game almost became a prize fight in
the ninthtwhendthe Michigan players
objected to a decision of the umpire
claiming that the Iowa third baseman
had held the runner. It would have
been the tying run if he had been
safe.

LOSES ALL SIX MATCHES
VARSITY IN STRAIGHT
SETS

TOI WINS

4TH CONSECUTIVE
WITH SCORE OF
12 TO 11'

MATCHI

Northwestern's tennis team looked
woefully weak before the attack of
Michigan's racquet aggregation at
Ferry field yesterday afternoon, los-
ing all of the six matches played to
the Wolverines in straight sets.
Captain Merkel of Michigan took
things rather easy with - Newey of
Northwestern, winning his match by
the score of 6-2, 6-3. The Wolverine
proved too steady and consistent for
his opponent.
In the second match George Rein-
del, Jr., playing number two for Mich-
igan, drove his way to a 6-2, 6-0 vic-
tory over Schmidt of Northwestern.
Reindel's deep cross-court drive was
working well and his net playing
proved quite effective.
Rorich of Michigan trampled over
Brown of Northwestern by the scores
of 6-2, 6-1 in an easy match on court
number three. Rorich was lobbing ef-
fectively and encountered little diffi-
culty with the Purple and Gold rac-
queters.
Sanchez showed up in the best form
he has displayed this season and eas-
ily won from Thomson in straight
sets, the scores being 6-2, 6-3.
Merkel and Reindel defeated Newey
and Schmidt in the first of the dou-
bles matches by the scores of 6-2, 6-1.
The Wolverine doubles combination
was too much for the Northwestern
duet.
In the second doubles match Zemon
and Kline paired up for Michigan.
Thompson and Brown were no match
for them and lost in straight sets by
6-1., 6-3 scores.

TICKETS ON SALE FOR '22E
BANQUET TO BE HELD JUNE

Michigan's crack golf team won
their fourth consecutive match yes-
terday by defeating Illinois 12 to 11,
The winner was not decided until the
last match came in with six points
for Michigan. Both teams played
fine golf throughout the day and al-
most perfect golf featured the 'best
ball foursome in the afternoon.
Rolfe, former Western junior cham-
pion, playing first man on the Illi-
nois team, and Frederickson, also of
Illinois, both had 73's in the morning
matches, the latter shooting a 34 on
the first nine. Captain Winters of
Michigan played fine golf during the
morning and although he missed some
comparatively easy putts, scored a
76. Smith had a hard time getting
started and was five down to Fred-
rickson on the first nine. He hit his
stride on the second nine and won
it by one hole but this was not enough
margin to give him the match and Il-
linois took two points and Michigan
one. Steketee, paired with Novotny,
was way off and although his opponent
shot a poor 80, Illinois won two points
on the match. The morning matches
ended with the score 7 to 4 in Illi-
nois' favor.
In the best ball ,foursomes in the
afternoon Michigan should have come
through with a clean slate. Winters
and Steketee had a fine best ball of
34 on the first nine, while Rolfe and
Captain Novotny shot a 37.
In the other match Loeb and Smith,
with a 71, won both nines, adding six
points to Michigan's score and decid-
ing the winner of the whole match.
