THE CRUCIAL TEST Today there face each other on the field of bat- tle two of the strongest teams in the Western Conference, Michigan and Wisconsin, on the lat- ter's own field. Michigan has primed herself dur- ing the past two weeks for this encounter, for it was with a full realization of the power of the op- ponents and the importance of this contest that Coach Yost set to work to prepare for today's game. It is without exaggeration the crucial test of the year for Michigan, and by far the hardest struggle of the entire schedule. Here in Ann Arbor, and all over the country, wherever Michigan alumni or supporters are to be found, excitement is at a high pitch as the time for the battle draws near, and the result remains but a few hours' distant. Everyone is pulling, and pulling strong, for a Michigan victory. Sit tight, pray for victory, and cheer the team. LET'S GO ... _ ATTEND THAT SMOKER To those who left last night for Madison for the Michigan-Wisconsin game, the week end will be one full of excitement and interest. But, although it is certain that every member of the student body would have desired to make the trip to Wisconsin, only a small percentage went, and the majority now find themselves in Ann Arbor with no event of special interest except the report of the game as it comes over the telegraph wires. Just like an oasis on the desert, there looms up a most pleas- ing sign of relief in the form of the smoker which is being given this afternoon under the auspices of the Detroit Alumni association of the University. These smokers have always been well attended by students from Ann Arbor in previous years, and their success as pep-instilling mediums and as sub- stitutes for actual presence at the scene of the game has been eyidenced by their continued rise in popularity. The smoker today will in every way resemble a miniature mass meeting, with cheer lead- ers and entertainers, and the additional features of smokes and drinks (a la Volstead, of course), and play-by-play reports of the game, which will be re- ceived on a leasedwire direct from the scene of ac- tion at Madison. The alumni have extended a general invitation to the student body to attend, and surely no better way of getting the reports of the game and at the same time adding some spice to a rather unevent- ful week-end than this could be suggested. There'll be pep from the time the doors open until the final staccato clicks of the telegraph announce the Wol- verine victory over the Cardinals, and the smoker will afford a great opportunity for undergraduates to observe how alumni can celebrate when they have sufficient cause. ART - FOR WHOSE SAKE? Chicago is a city which is noted for its windy atmosphere, its resemblance to New York, and its art exhibits. The first of these distinguishing marks concerns only the residents of the city, while the latter two are often of interest in the various parts of the United States. At least, a certain event oc- curred there last week which has caused Chicago's city sisters and cousin villages sufficient food for thought, and probably either some cause for laugh- ter or more cause for chagrin. Last week, Chicago held its annual art exhibit, on which occasion connoisseurs and lovers of art jour- neyed from distant points to view the creations of master painters. Many of those paintings on exhi- bition were genuine art, too, for the event was ac- claimed a pronounced success by impartial critics and unpartisan judges. That is it was a success from all angles but one, and that one a rather se- rious hindrance to the purpose of the exhibition. Society buds, "debs", staid matrons, and ambitious mothers with children of prospective marriageable age, cluttered up the hallways and salons of the in- stitute, hindering those who were present for the purpose of viewing the exhibit. Mencken would probably call these light minded, tea-drinking, cake- eating, individuals nincompoops, and there is little doubt that the appellation would be fully deserved. The home is the place for tea-pouring parties, and for the arrangement of marriage pacts surely a cozy parlor, an enclosed automobile, or a bench in the park are more suitable than an art exhibit for securing the desired results. Europe would mock America as young, indifferent, and incapable of se- riously appreciating art, should the tale of the Chi- cago institute be told across the Atlantic. The ac- cusation we on this side of the ocean could deny as untrue, but unless many of our well-meaning, but unthinking citizens (of both sexes) realize that an art exhibit is not merely an excuse for a purely frivolous social gathering, Europe may, after all, be justified in reaching such a conclusion. a i Log Log Slide Rules AT Both ends of the diagonal kalk it . . ...... .. . . .... ...

Conn Instruments Acknowledged Superior by the World's Greatest Artists 1 0 J1 4 HAMMERING ALONE The eye of one standing at a distance from a man striking a building sees the blow before the noise from it is communicated to the ear. It takes but a slight stretch of the imagination to conceive of a situation in which the ear may be detecting the noise though the workman may be seen to have ceased hammering, in which case one wishing to act in unison with the worker would be entirely misled if he relied only on the sound that reached him. Something very similar to this has happened in the passing of the recent resolution calling for the removal of Coach Yost, at the recent meeting of the Grand Rapids Alumni association. The action of these graduates was taken at a time when all the ex- cess steam arising after the Ohio game had been dissipated as far as the Michigan student body was concerned and the sane conclusion had been reached that the time to raise the coaching question, if at all, was after the season was over. When the step was taken Michigan had come back in the Illinois game and was bending all her forces, including the spirit that has turned the tide in her favor in many doubtful contests, toward a victory at Madison. The whole undergraduate body was dominated by one idea - beat Wisconsin! With these as the circumstances, the Grand Rap- ids men's move was worse than impulsively taking part in agitation that would indirectly, but none the less certainly, cut down our chances in the remain, ing games of the season. It amounted to an at. tempt to revive bodily a demoralizing issue already buried. Fortunately this unthinking and ill-advised action was immediately scored by other alumni in the Valley City and by Detroit graduates. Even if the resolution could be excused as an effort to as- sist the man with the hammer, it can't be excused when as a fact he had thought better and stopped work before the assistance was tendered.

Magicians are inclined to boast, And if one ever blunders To ask them just how business is, It's always "Doing wonders."
