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.

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.

The body will be taken to Chicago for burial. nDainri 3 3 nn "U nrr.UruPntl 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." Prof. W. D.
