Police Use Tear Bombs To Frustrate
Attempts Of Merry Makers To
Apply Torch To Old Stadium
CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-Northwestern
university students celebrating the
achievements of the Purple football
team, tonight set fire to an unoccupied
fraternity house, then engaged in a
pitched battle with firemen and po-'
licemen until tle police used tear
bombs to drive them back, then they
started for the old stadium intent on
applying the torch to it.
Gathering on the campus according
to a prearranged plan, about 1,000
men and women students waited until
9 o'clock when the old Phi Kappa Sig-
ma house, recently vacated, was fired.
The house is not on the campus
and as soon as the light of the flames
showed, the students rushed to it, and
began their celebration with a series
of "wildcat" yells.
Firemen were surrounded and their
hose taken from them and turned on
the fire fighters. Policemen headed
by Chief William A. Wiltderger, him-
self a college graduate, were given
an even hotter reception and reserves
were sent for.
The tear bombs were used with ef-
fectiveness, the handful of policemen
driving back the students until the
supply of bombs were exhausted. Then
the students again surrounded the of-
ficers and engaged in a pitched bat-
tle while another detachment of stu-
dents started for the old stadium con-
sisting mostly of tiers of wooden seats,
and announced that they expected to
fire it.
Meanwhile, the policemen detracted
the attention of the students, and fire-
men tried to save the fraternity house
which was to have been torn down.

MANAGER NAMED )1
John Denton, '27, has been ap- Ie
pointed Varsity football manager I
for the next season, it was an-
nounced by Glenn Donaldson, '26, s;
the retiring manager, after the w
football banquet last night at the I t
Union. He will be assisted by I

Friedman broke into Varsity com- h
petition in the Illinois game last year, t
when he was sent into the fray in t
he closing minutes. The next week h
found him in the starting lineup at t
halfback against Wisconsin, and his o
passing and running in that game 1
earned a regular Varsity berth fora
him.
This year Friedman was switched to 1
ill the quarterback vacancy and hiss
generalship was of a high order all'
season. Friedman also developed into
an accurate place kicker, rarely miss-I
ng a goal after touchdown, and ac-s
counting for the only three points inI
the Illinois game with a pretty place
kick.
The new leader is the leading scor-t
or of the Conference with a total of
52 points.i
Friedman was a star player at
Glenville high school, Cleveland, be-
fore he matriculated at the Univer-
sity, but he did not confine his ac-f
tivities to football, playing basketball
and baseball. Friedman was a mem-
ber of last year's baseball Varsity, be-1
ing a substitute outfielder.
Sophomore Dies
A fter Being Hit
By Auto Sunday
Merlin L. Tews, '28, died at 11 o'clock
Sunday night at University hospital
of a fractured skull, suffered two
hours before when he was hit by an
automobile driven by Otto Yahnka of
Detroit. According to witnesses, Tews
stepped off a bus at Washtenaw ave-
nue and Hill street and walked
around in front of it, directly in the
path of the oncoming car. According
to a police report the car was not
driven at an excessive rate. Yahnka
was not held.
The parents of Tews, Mr. and Mrs.
William C. Tews of Chicago, arrived
in Ann Arbor yesterday. The body
will be taken to Chicago for burial.

Appealing to the members of Mich-
an's 1925 football team to decline
ny possible offers of affiliating them-
elves with professional elevens, Pres-
lent Clarence Cook Little, in his ad-
ress at the annual football banquet
n the assembly hall of the Union Iast
ight, stated that the' recent decision
f Harold "Red" Grange to turn pro-
essional in the near- future has given
ons of ammunition to the opponents
f intercollegiate football.
"If Grange is going to play profes-
ional football to repay his father for
me cost of his three and quarter
ears' education at the University of
linois and to put his brother through
ollege, it appears to me that Grange's
ducation has been mighty expensive
nd that his brother's will be the
ame when the tremendous sums he
fill receive are taken into considera-
ion," President Little remarked.
"Why could Grange have not post-
oned his action a year if he is de-
ermined to play professionally? To
eave his university at this time and
Iso admit it has pre'pared him to do
othing else than play football is an
njustice to that institution."
President Little said he sincerely
oped that members of Michigan's
eamn would not follow Grange this
inme "and stick close to him as they
ave done at times," but urged that
hey "let him travel the whole length
f the field alone from now on." In-
ercollegiate football has been pen-
aized half the length of the field by
-range's decision, he added, and now
t remains for colleges and univer-
ities to win it back.
Little Commends Yost
In. conclusion the president stated
ie had never enjoyed a football sea-
on as much as the one just closed
iere, and commended the work of
oach Fielding H. Yost to the greatest
legree. "Yost uses the football field
o work out the problems of life," he
aid, "and you men will realize that
n later years as you cannot possibly
o now."
Coach Yost, who followed President
[ittle on the speaker's program, open-
ed his address by declaring, "You are
members of the greatest football team
I have ever coached; in fact you are
the greatest football team I ever saw
in action. I am making this state-
ment cognizant of the wonderful rec-
ord of the 1901 team and the point-
a-minute teams that followed."
The past season, and the banquet
concluded Coach Yost's quarter-cen-
tury of service as Michigan's football
mentor. His statements were backed
by what he termed "facts" which be-
spoke of the team's accomplishments
this fall.
Yost Proud Of Team
"I am proud to have coached you,"
he exclaimed, "I am proud to say that t
every last one of you played the game
fro~m start to finish like a man and
a sportsman. You were undaunted
the one time when the scoreboard
showed you had lost, and you were
generous the seven times you over-
whelmed your opposition. You were
great in victory and great in defeat.
Michigan will profit enormously by
what you have done this year."
E. A. Batchelor, of the Detroit Sat-,
urday Night staff and the Detroit Ath-
letic Club News, who stated he had
been writing about Michigan football
teams for the past 20 years, spoke
on the "Press Slant On Football."
Press Handicapped
"The press is handicapped in its po-
sition at any football game," he said,
"and it is most difficult to be accurate
and do justice to every player. I am
going to ask you to be charitable and
considerate in your expressions of the
press and its work for this reason."

Iversity extension service, who acted
