However, the three errors counted against i Michigan were offset by the 12 hitsI earned off Tolles, the star pitcher of the Michigan State team.I Neblung, who hurled for the Wol-I verines, was largely responsible for the Maize and Blue victory, andI judging from his showing yesterday, he will be the outstanding man on the Michigan pitching staff. The] State team was held to five hits, two of which were made in the first inn-] ing, and the other three in the fifth., Neblung's pitching was particulaly pleasing in that he struck out 11f State batsme. Michigan State went into the lead in the first inning, scoring two runs on two hits. Rowley singled to left field and advanced to second when Loos fell in fielding Zimmerman's grounder. Towley cored when Baynes singled far out into right field. For the first time this season,1 Michigan revealed some of the poten- tial hitting power which had been? dormant in the first two Conference' games, and scored five runs in the last half of the first inning by hitting three singles, a double, and two trp- ples. Not content with a four run lead, the Wolverines continued the hitting ing of several of the players. In two of the nine innings the Michigan team lapsed into a coma and put on a show bee in the second inning and scored another run. Loos hit a high fly in back of third base for a single, going to second when Barrett had consid- erable trouble in picking up the ball. Weintraub advanced the runner by' placing a safe bunt down the first base line. Loos scored on Oosterbaan's long sacrifice fly to centerfield, bringing the Michigan total to six runs.

MEMPHIS, Tenn., April 26-Des-, perate measures to protect New Or- leans from the force of the floods that daily are laying waste new areas in Arkansas and Mississippi, were 1 agreed today by the federal govern-1 ment, and approved by the army en- gineers and the Mississippi river com- mission. The plan to remove the menace from the South's largest city, put forward by Governor Simpson of) Louisiana and Mayor O'Keefe of New Orleans, is for the blasting of a wide breach in the east levee of the Missis- sippi, ten miles below the city. This brought an immediate protest from the inhabitants of the 13 square4 miles that thus would be flooded, as growing section. The whole question was then put up to the river commission and the army engineers at Vicksburg, who ap- proved the cut. While the danger to New Orleans is notthought to be imminent, en- gineers all along have been apprehen- sive for the safety of the port when the crest of the flood, located off Iel- ena, Ark., passed Vicksburg to join with the Red river from Arkansas and the Yazoo river from Mississippi. NEW ORLEANS, April 26-The en- tire ILouisiana National guard was or- !dered out tonight by Adjutant-General L, A. Toombs. The order, General Toombs said, was a precautionary 4measure to meet any possible develop- ments in the flood situation. COLLEGE HEAD WILL SOCIAL TRENIDS AGRICULTURE D~ISCUSS IN 1 WILL PRESENT PLAS FOR LEAGUE BENEIT Rockford Players Will Appear inder Auspices of Alumnae Council And Women's League TO PERFORM_15 TIMES Under the auspices of the Alumnae council of the University, and for the benefit of the Women's League build- ing fund, the Rockford players will give 15 performances May 3 to 17 in Sarah Caswell Angell hall. The Rockford players are a group made up largely of former University students who have recently completed a sea- son of seven months in Rockford, Illinois. T'hey are under the direction of Robert Henderson, '26, and the plays given here will be the outstnd- ing successes of the Rockford season. The members of the company, in addition to Robert Henderson, include Amy Loomis, '23, for several years director of the Tunior, Girls' Play; Frances Horine, .25, and Camille Mas-' line, '28A. Reynold Evans, for the past five years one of the leading actors in Walter Hainpden's company, is lead- ing man, and other New York players in the cast include Frances Bavier, from Elliott Nugent's "The Poor Nut" and Franklin Wait from Anne Nich- ol's "Howdy King." The company is the same that play- ed a six weeks run of plays last summer in the same hall for the ben- efit of the Women's League, and fol- lowing the presentations in May the group will again return for a summer series of plays. The season this spring will open with a presentation of "The Firebrand," by Justin Mayer, and the other plays to be given in rotation with a different play every night, in- clude "The Last Of Mrs. Cheyney," by Frederick Lonsdale, "The Intimate Strangers," by Booth Tarkington, "Pigs", by Patterson McNutt, and "The Green Goddess," by William Archer. Sarah Caswell Angell hall is being redecorated for the presentations of the plays, and new chairs, a new drop curtain, and several other features have been installed. Seats for all of the performances went on sale at the State street book- stores yesterday morning, and tickets for individual plays are priced at 75 cents while course tickets, including admissions for all five of the plays are priced at $3.00. Members of the Wom:emfs League are handling the ticket sales and all profits over the hare expenses of poducing the plays will be given to that organization.

Warrants have been requested, charging Keith with arson following his confession of starting the fire here and 16 other fires in Detroit.

Butterfield of Michigan State college and Prof. Royt W. Sellars of the philosophy depart-s ment will address the o euing meet-S ing of the 32nd annual &nvention of the Michigan Academy of Science,e Arts, and Letters which will be held at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon in Nat- ural Science auditorium.F President Butterfield will address: the meeting on "Some Social Trendsa in Agriculture" and Professor Sellars will speak on "Recent Developments 1 in Philosophy and Their Influencen Upon Science." Both of the men have I had wide experience in their fields,1 i and have spoken at nieetings of the Academy before. President Butter-b field is a graduate of Michigan State college of the class of 1891, and didh graduate work for three years at thel University here. In the school yearv 1.902-03 he taught rural sociology at i the University, and was president and nrofessor of political economy at Rhode Island College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts from 1903 to 1906. In the latter year he was made president of Massachusetts Agricul- tural college and held that position until 1924, when he was appointed head of Michigan State college, whichj position he has since held. Professor Sellars, who will address the same meeting, is a graduate of the University, and has occupied a posi- tion on the faculty here since his graduation. He was appointed pro- fessor of philosophy in 1923 and has written several books, the best knownt of which, is his "Essentials of Logic." I At the evening sessions, which will be held at 8:00 o'clock tonight inx Natural Science auditorium, Prof. L. A. Chase of. Northern State Normal college will deliver the presidentialc address. His subject will be "Mich-E igan as a Field for Research." Pro-f fessor Chase filled the position off Prof. Ulrich B. Phillips of the history' department while the latter was on leave of absence during the last se- mester of last year. The speaker is considered an authority on the history of the Northwest territory, of whichc the state of Michigan is a part. Pro- fessor Chase is president of the Acad- emy for the year.7 The first session of the convention1 will be held this afternoon in Room G 436 of the Nautral Science buildingc when the council of the.Academy willt meet. Meetings will continue through Friday of this week, and the head-i quarters of the Academy will be in room 1209 Angell hall. More thant 550 members are expected to attendi the sessions by those in charge, and thet lectures held in Natural Science audi- torium will be open to the public. The principal speaker tomorrow will be1 Prof. Charles Merriam, head of the department of political science at the University of Chicago.c Concurrently with the meetings of 1 the Michigan Academy the Michigan1 Schoolmasters' club, with more than, 1500 delegates from all parts of the state will meet here Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of this week. The teach- who come will be largely from the secondary schools of the state and the first program will be held at 1:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon in room C of the Law building. ' The meetings of this group will be largely taken up with visiting Uiver- sity classes and discussing education- al problems, although President Clar- ence Cook Little will address the club at 7:30 o'clock Friday night in Hill auditorium. The conference will close Saturday morning.I WILLIS SPEAKS ON SYSTEM OF LIVING1 Giving the final talk of the Orator- ical association lecture series, Sen. Frank B. Willis, Republican, Ohio, enumerated four principles of action which he advised in the life of anyI individaul and which, he said, couldl control his political actions. These were: to think clearly, love his fel- lowman, act honestly, and retain theI faith of his forefathers, taking these points from a poem by Henry Van Dyke.f Senator Willis vigorously oppos-I ed the remarks of Pres. Nicholas Mlir .nv nlo o :loi -hi. niv ._- 1 l 1 1 i 1 i 1 J blancing by a student on an o1d fish- oned bicycle, the kind with a big wheel in front and [he mere sugges- tion of one behind. During the afternoon there was a sandem bicycle running loose on the streets but at night the boys were kating in series of fifteen and twenty. "Roller skating is an art," remark- ed President Little in regard to the I present fad which is sweeping the campus," and it is healthful exercise." But, he pointed out further, there is ;rsat danger of accidents, especially where students skate down the streets. To date at least one objection has been made to police concerning the I noise created om thecity sidewalks by the skaters, but no action is to be taken, as tear eas is scarce. What this campus needs now is a I big parade of the various kinds of locomotion so suddenly discovered | here in our midst. It would be start- ling to learn that cars aren't the only f way to move around. We might even find an advocate of walking. MOORE GIVES TALK ON 'CHANGINGEDUCATION'l "Eagerness Will Supplant Information As Future Educational Goal," Says Educator MUST AROUSEFACULTIES, "Eagerness will supplant informa- tion as the goal in education of the k colleges of the future," declared I Henry T. Moore, president of Skid- more college, Saratoga Springs, New York, in discussing "Changing Ten- dencies in College Education yester- day afternoon in the University high school. In the era which must result from the revolutionary trend now fighting for recognition in education, } "I do not know" will be replaced by I "I am not interested," he stated. Mass production in education, the giving of facts to students in large assemblies, has resulted in neglect of the power to judge on the part of students, and the country is seeking a new kind of learning, declared President Moore. The model which America has been trying to stand-fj ardize is ancient, as the four yearE curriculum was first introduced in the University of Paris in 1252. Forced to find a new type of learn- ing, colleges have responded with such as the orientation course at Columbia, the course in evolution at Dartmouth, Yale and Williams, in- tended to give the students the widest possible pattern of knowledge, leav- ing discrimination and sifting of facts to the scholar, he continued. The college must face the problem of enlivening the professor, to his creative work, and for this President Moore, suggested a plan whereby one- third of each class may be chosen ini competition and assigned to the pro- fessor for training in creative hues. I This higher third would have the di- rection and instruction of- the lower two-thirds, 'and competition would keep in the highest group only those proved to be the best scholars. In conclusion, President Moore declared that two tendencies of the changes stand out today, first, the demand that scholarship shall concern itself with meaning, rather than the "nonsense" of today, and second, that education shall be something that shall be char- acteristic of a person throughout the entire life. tinue until ident then ment to be continued; be banned.

Complete enforcements will con- THREE STUDENTS ARE PLACED ON PROBATION; FOURTH FORBI)DEN CAR 100 MAKE APPLICATIONS Body Will. Probably Deny Requests For Pernission To Drive Cars; Are Three Months Overdue Rigid enforcement of the present automobile regulations, undertaken in an effort to test whether or not com- plete abolition of cars is necessary, was begun yesterday by the student- faculty committee in charge, and will be continued for the rest of the se- mester. Three students who have fail- ed to live un to the rules of the Re- gents were placed on probation, and a fourth denied permission to use his car.

If the Pres- believes the experi- a success, it will be if not, all cars will students who were yesterday constituted group, selected at random and punished as a mere gesture that the rules will be en- forced, they would have grounds for objection. But since the rules will be enforced in every case brought before the committee, and the committee is endeavoring to reach every unregistered car in the city, they received only what they deserved. All admitted that they had failed to obey the rules, either through careless- ness or belief that to obey was unnecessary as the rules would not be enforced. Enforcement of the present rules at this late date is handi- capped by the brief period of time remaining in this semester and by the additional problem of a large group of students who, al- though eligible to drive, failed to register their cars, in the belief that the rules would not be en- forced. However, since the time granted to the students to make up for their failure to cooperate thus far by enforcing the present rules extends only to the end of this semester, drastic action at once, despite any difficulty, is imperative. Students can "beat the game" if they work hard enough to keep. their cars from being detected. That is granted. The success of the present experiment depends on students being more interested in aiding in enforcement and thus escaping the general ban than in. obstructing the effort by attempting to avoid the rules. The Daily, in opposing the com- plete abolition, has been actuated by the belief that students will cooperate with the committee; hot fight it. To cooperate means the same partial restrictions next year; to fight means no cars at all. The committee, still composed largely of students, is making an honest effort to do its part. The students who have been and will be disciplined must realize that they are guilty of breaking a Uni- versity rule, and join their fel- lows in the campaign to save cars for the majority in the fu- ture. The President has granted the students another chance; The Daily appeals to the com- mittee, and more especially to the student body, to expend every effort to prove to the administra- tion that Michigan men and wo- men are willing to do their part. The co-operation of the campus is essential. THE MICHIGAN DAILY NOTICE The meeting of the Student council which was scheduled for tonight has been postponed until 7:30 o'clock tomorrow night. numbers, selected at random from cars on the streets, failed to check with the permits issued thus far, will be called before the committee as rapid- ly as possible, and disciplinary meas- ures will result. Students who fail to cooperate and continue to drive will be suspended from the University. More than 100 applications to oper- ate automobiles wire filed at the office of the dean of students yester- (day. What will be done with these requests is not known. It was this lack of cooperation on' the part of these and other students heretofore that led to the threatened ban on cars; the willingness of the students to aid by registering their cars now may lead the President to decide a complete ban is not necessary. Every effort is being made to clean- up the unregistered cars as thoroughly as possible, bbth because punishment in isolated cases would not be fair, and because the present regulations must be enforced rigidly through the cooperation of the committee and the student body if Michigan is not to have complete abolition of cars by 'action of the Regents. The work of interviewing students who have been operating cars with- out permits will be continued by the committee at 4 o'clock this afternoon. HIGGINS TALKS ON LOCARNO TREATY IN COIF LECTURE Giving the last of the series of two lectures arranged by Coif, honorary legal society, Prof. Alexander 'Pierce Higgins, Whewell professor of Inter- national law at Cambridge university, delivered an address on "The Locarno Sottlement" yesterday aft:noon in Room C of the Law building. As an introductory statement Pro- fessor Higgins outlined the stages that led up to the Locarno settle- ent, tracing back the situation to the Franco-Prussian war. One of the promising circumstances of the Lo- carno settlement, he declared was the fact that for the first time since 1914 Germany voluntarly met with the allied nations to discuss the mainten- ance of peace in Europe. Germany's action in taking the initiative in the matter is commendable, Professor Higgins stated, and shows an attempt to bring about a moral relaxation of the tension previously existing be- tween the nations of Europe. After outlining the eight docu- ments making up the Locarno settle- ment, Professor Higgins pointed out I that all of the agreements provided for a supervision of the League of 1 Nations and that the whole matter was arranged under the Covenant of the League.
