Freshnien of all schools and col-
leges of the University will elect their
officers for the year next Tuesday and
Wednesday, following the election
schedule arranged by the Student]
council. This balloting will conclude
the organization of the various class-
es for this year.
Any student found voting in any of
the freshman elections in which he is
not entitled to vote will be suspended
from the University by the action of
the Senate Committee on Student Af-
fairs, acting in conjunction with the
Student council, it was announced by
the council last night. The doors of 1
'all the election rooms will be watched
by members of the council and by
junior honor society men, who will
achallenge the right of any student to
enter who is known to be a member
of any class other than the particular
elass voting. .
The election of the freshman class
of the literary college, which is al-
ways the largest gathering handled
by the council election committee
during the year, will be closely super-
vised by councilmen and members of
the junior honorary societies. The
doors of Hill auditorium will be open-
td at 3:45 o'clock, 15 minutes before
the balloting will start. Only two
doors will be opened- and these will
be closely watched to prevent upper-
classmen or freshmen of other schools
from entering. No man student will
be admitted who is not wearing a
freshman pot, the official insignia of
his class.
One ballot will be given to each stu-
dent as he passes the door. The bal-
lots will be of the same type as those
used in the previous elections, but
will be printed on colored paper.
Any protests regarding the handling
of any of the elections should be made
to the nresident of the council or
the chairman of the election commit-
tee immediately following the election
questioned. All ballots will be filed
-n the offices of the council at the Un-
ion, where recounts can be made if
necessary.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.---The brief!

Union Reception
Committee Will
Aid All Alumni
iM embers of the .reception committee
of the Union, headed by Karl Craw-
ford, '27, will be at the Union and at
the Michigan Central railroad depot
until game time today for the purpose
of :-sssting visiting alumni and others
in every way possible.
Alumni or parents who have not yet
obtained rooms will be directed by the
students to the Union, where the
rooming house list will be available at
the booth in the main lobby. Scores
of students have obtained rooms for
parents and friends through the list
compiled at the Union, but a few ad-
dIresses were still on the list last
night. It is probable that more room
addresses will be telephonied to the
IUnion this morning, the committee
believes, in which case they will be
immediately added to the present list.

SUNDERLAND TALKS
Says Efficiency of British Judicial
System Is Due to Non-Partisain
Control of Court
Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of the
Journal of the American Medical as-
sociation, and Grove Patterson, editor;
of the Toledo Blade, delivered the two
main addresses yesterday evening at
the annual banquet of the University
Press club which opened its three-day
convention here Thursday.
Scientific medicine, said Dr. Fish-
bein, who gave the principal address
of the program, feels that its future
depends upon the co-operation of the
press in a plan of education of the
public. In an earlier part of his
speech he pointed out the shortcom-
ings and blunders of newspapers in
treating medical subjects.
In the second address of the pro-
gram Grove Patterson presented the
ideas of the "New Aristocracy" as the
fifth state evolving from Burke's
"Fourth State." This new group which
would consist of "all those whose
care, would interpret its superiority,I
not in arrogance and pride, but in a
responsibility to humanity."
The opening address on the morn-
ing program was given by Prof. Ed-
son R. Sunderland of the Law school,
on conclusions -drawn from a six
months investigation of the English
court procedure. The efficiency of the
British judicial system, he said, is
due to the non-partisan control of
the court instead of a partisan con-
trol by the lawyers.
University Deans
Seek Stealer Of
Tailor's Dummy
Some one, a jovial person no doubt,
drunk with the joy of victory, of
course, took, in a moment of ecstasy
following the game at Urbana last
week, a tailor's dummy that had been
used for decorative purposes in one
of the fraternity houses. A letter,
received by Joseph A. Bursley, Dean
of Students, from the assistant dean
of men at Illinois, claims the missing
dummy to be valued at $50.
The same letter went on to say that
the owner of said dummy would be
very grateful if the stolen article
could be located. One or several stu-
dents here are under suspicion for
having carried the dummy back home.

INTERSECTIONAL GRID CONTEST
VISITORS BRING ONE OF STRONGEST
SQUADS EVER DEVELOPED
AT ANNAPOLIS
In one of the most important intersectional football games of the 1925
grid season, Michigan will meet the United States Naval Academy eleven
before a record crowd of 47,000 persons at 3 o'clock this afternoon on Ferry
field.
The Navy brings to Ann Arbor one of the strongest teams developed
at Annapolis in recent years. The Midshipment have not met defeat this
year, and are entertaining high hopes of keeping their slate clean this
afternoon. In the opening game of the season the Navy teaii defeated
William-Mary college, 25-0, and ran up a score of 19-0 over Marquette the
following week.
The only blot on the midshipmen's record this season is a tie game

last week, has just concluded a stren-
uous week of training for today's
game, and is hopeful of continuing its
championship pace. Coach Kipke. who
scouted the Annapolis aggregation
last week, returnd with reports of a
powerful Navy tem and the Mich-
gan coaches have made a strong effort
to perfect a defense for the Navy at-
tack.
If the field is in a dry condition,
both teams will undoubtedly resort to
a passing game. Michigan did not
have an opportunity to unleash its
forward pass attack at Urbana last
week, and will unquestionably use the
forward pass to effect a score on the
Navy. Michigan will have a slight-
weight advantage, but will face one
of the fastest set of backfield men
in the East.
Shapley will be one of the most
closely watched players on the field.
The Navy fullback has proven a sen-
rational runner and will prove a men-
ace to the Maize and Blue team at all
times. Lentz, captain of the Ann-
apolis team, is a powerful guard, and
has earned a reputation in the pre-
vious games on the Navy schedule.
Coach Yost will use the same team
that faced Illinois last week. Tom
Edwards is still : suffering with an
arm injury, and will not be in condi-
tion to play until the Northwestern
game. Dewey, who substituted at
guard last week, will start again to-
day. Dewey played a brilliant game
of football against Illinois, and Is
counted on to materially strengthen
the line with his 197 pounds of
weight.
The probable lineup for today's
game is:
