'WAR CORRESPONDENT TO LECTURE MONDAY ''Wer Against War" To Be Subject Of Third Talk In Oratorical Association Series IS ALSO NOTED AUTHOR Will H. Irwin, war correspondent and magazine writer and editor, will give the third lecture of the Oratorical association series at 8 o'clock Monday night at Hill auditorium. His subject will be "The War Against War." Mr. Irwin, began his career as a re- porter on a San Franciso paper. After two years experience there he went to New York where he became a reporter on the New York Sun, and in 1904 he was made managing editor of Mc- Clures Magazine. When he severed his connections with this magazine in 1906 he became a general magazine writer and in 1914 was one of the first war correspondents sent abroad. He, with Irvin S. Cobb and John T. McCutcheon, was the first English speaking prisoner captured by theI Germans. After his release by the German general staff he continued hisj work in the field and he was black- listed by the French and British arm- ies for his story of "Ypres." Lloyd George later permitted him to re-enter the field when it was learned that his story was truthful. After the war he stayed in the Ruhr as correspondent and also wrote his best known book, "The Next War." He has contributed frequently to magazines and periodicals since his return from Europe. PLAY TICKETS SELL RAPIDLY First Showing Of "Tea For Three" To Be Given In Mimes Tonight )S0RING SYSTEM FOR ANNUAL FALL GAMES GIVEN RYCOMITE RULES GOVERNING CONTESTS ARE SAME AS THOSE OF LAST YEAR THREE EVENTS SLATED Freshmen To Meet In Front Of Union Sophomores Asked To Assemble At Gymnasium Rules and the system of scoring for the annual Fall games between the freshmen and sophomore classes, which will be held tomorow morning at South Ferry field, were announced yesterday. Rules governing the con- test will be the same as last year, al- though the scoring will be slightly different tomorrow. The pillow fight will be the first I event on the program. Two teams of five men each will participate. Five wooden horses, six feet in height, will be used, the event to be run off in two heats. A freshman and sophomore will oppose each other, sitting on either end of the horse, the object being to knock the opponent off the horse by swinging the pillow. The event will count one point for the class having the majority of winners, I the issue to be decided by a play-off j between the two class captains in case of a tie. Cane Spree Is Next The second event will be the cane spree. Two teams of five men each will participate, as in the pillow fight, the object being to wrestle the three-i foot hickary stick from the opponent's hands. The class having the majority of winners will receive one point, as in the first event, the captains, or two picked men, settling the contest in case of a tie. All members of both classes will, take part in the final event, the flag rush. Three poles, 26 feet high, and stationed 30 feet apart will be used. The freshmen will guard the poles from mass rushes of the second year men who will try to remove the flag from the top of each. The event will be divided into two ten-minute halves, the sophomores scoring a point for each flag removed, and the freshmen receiving a point for each flag not taken down during tie Iprescribed time of play. A total of three points for one of the classes is possible in this event, or five points for the en- tire program.

Crego was elected class captain for the annual Fall games by more than 600 freshmen who as- sembled at the Union last night fol- lowing the pep meeting in Hill audi- torium. Talks by E. E. Fleischman of the public speaking department and by Lester F. Johnson, '27L, president of the Union were also made. Mr. Fleischman, speaking on "Men and Boys", urged the gathering that, through the organized games, they might develop a form to which they would look back as one of their fine things and to which they could be true in future life. Only by making mistakes and profiting therefrom can university etiquette be learned; by organized class games, he pointed out, can the freshman find himself by mak- ing the least mistakes. Earl Blaser, '27, explained the fea- tures of next Saturday's interclass conflict, of which he will have charge. Johnson spoke in place of George Rich, '29, Varsity football player who was unable to speak.

In the sophomore pharmacy elec- tions, Walter Malloy was elected pres- ident of the class. The remaining officers are as fol- lows: Mary Brown, vice-president; Lewis Sylvester, treasurer; and Dor- orthy Campbell, secretary . All offi- cers in the class were chosen unani- mously. Ishpeming Disaster Costs 51 Lives; One Escapes From Trap (By Associated Press) SISHPEMING, Nov. 4.-Snow was laying a mantle of white mourning to- night over the ugly crater left by the cave-in that caused America's greatest iron mining disaster here Wednesday. Fifty-one perished when the Barnes- Hecker mine caved in and the pass- ages were filled with water and quicksands. Only one man escaped the death trap. The cave-in left a yawning hole, considerably sunken from the former level and about 300 feet long and 200 feet wide. This was filling with water today, a clear pool over the greater part, but a murky, gloomy black scum covered another considerable area. The cave-in occurred a quarter mile east of the mine's shaft. It was learned late today by the Associated Press that the cave-n was absolutely without warning, almost an unprecedented mishap. There usually is either a lack of pressure on mine timber, showing they are not properly supporting the over-burden, or a crack, which causes partial flooding or excessive water. Neither occurred in this instance, mine experts showed. The men in the mine, 51 employees of the company, and County Mine In- spector William Hill, had no warning whatever. There was a great crum- --I~ YALE PROFESSOR TO CLOSE SERIES William Lyon Phelps Lampson professor of English at Yale, who will speak on "What is Truth" at the last of the fall series of student convocations Sunday in Hill 'auditorium.
