Weil, editor and publisher of the Port Huron Times Herald, was chosen as president of the University Press club at the business sesion of thle organization's ninth annual con- vention which was concluded here yes- terday.

Brummk of the University de- partment of journalism was again elected secretary-treasurer. Committee Appointed Following the recommendations of President Clarence Cook Little of the university regarding the possibility of making the department of journalism a separate unit of the University a resolution was passed sanctioning the. appointment of a committee repre- senting the press club to confer with a committee- representing the adminis- trative board of the university. 'Ihe appointment of this committee was placed in the hands of the retiring1 president, Arthur R. Treanor. In re- porting, Treanor announced that in order to secure the men whom he1 wanted and felt should compose the committete both from the standpoint of general recognition and from the amount of time that they could devote to the sessions, perhaps a month or more of time would elapse before he could announce its complete person- nel. Resolutions were passed honoring the memory of the late Edmund W. Booth, editor of the Grand Rapids Press and Wilbert H. Gustinf, manag- ing editor of the Bay City Daily Times, who passed away during the past year. Following the business meeting the club met for luncheon and afterwards was the guests of Fielding H. Yost and the Atheltic association at the Michigan-Ohio football game. Satisfaction Expressed. In concluding the meetings, a gen- eral feeling of satisfaction was ex-' pressed by the majority of those in attendance who voiced their senti- ments in another resolution express- ing their appreciation of the coopera- tion of the University in aiding them to plan and hold their annual session and in providing for the complete and varied entertainment that was proffered for the visitors while in Ann Arbor. Saturday morning's sessions brought tho meetings of the Press club for the ninth consecutive year to a close. The group of more than 130 arrived in Ann Arbor Thursday morning and after registering at the Union met for the openpg session early Thursday afternoon at which President Treanor gave the opening address. Among the speakers who were pres- ent for the sessions were President Clarence Coo Little of the Univer- sity; Virgil V. McNtt, manager of Mc- Naught's Newspaper syndicate; Prof. Robert M.

ESUMGE NEGOTIATIONS IN EFFORT 0T SECURE FN1101 0SAVOR1INGTRADE PACT' ALTHOUGH SILENT, OFFICIALS INDICATE NOTE TO BE CONCILITORY STILL ENTERTAIN HOPES Communication is Enroute to France; Will Be Delivered Monday At Foreign Office (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-The Amer- ican note for the Paris controversy with the French, sixth in the series between the two countires, was on its way to Paris today and will be de- livered to the foreign office Monday by the American embassy. Washington officials declined to summarize the communication or dis- cuss its character other than to im- plicate that it was conciliatory in court. Hope is entertained, in spite of early gloomy anticipations placed upon the French note of last Saturday, That the American answer will possibly terminate the conversation in an agreement for a formula for commer- cial treaty negotiation. There is little ' question that officials here believe yes- terday's development with respect to the Washington government as to both agricultural guarantees and the ques- tion of . sending American experts abroad to study the books of foreign exporters will prove to have created an increasingly deadly atmosphere in which the Paris conversation is pro- ceeding. It was learned authoritively tonight that the new American Paris note does not contain any suggestion of pro- -posals not already brought out in the exchanges with the French war office. Presumably it is confined to the state- ment of the American attitude in con- nection with conditions discovered in the last French note, which were said to make their communications unsat- isfactory to the workings of govern- ment. Further examination gave a more favorable outlook that the new note will serve to clean up, it is said, any doubt that may still exist as to the true significance of the French conditional statement. If, as is hoped here, it proves to be not specific stipulations requiring ad- vanced pledges from the United States as a basis for treaty negotiations, of- ficials here would not be surprised if the formula under which those nego- tiations will proceed should be com- pleted within ,a fortnight or so, and the actual business of treaty drafting begun. MAY SOON LEAD IN MATHEMATICS BERLIN, Oct. 22.-Through the as- sistance of the Rockefeller Institute of America, the ancient University of Goetingen will soon lay claim to be- ing the "center of the mathematical world." The Mathematical institute of the university is in process of complete overhauling and extension, and it is thought that by 1929 the Mathema- tical institute will be the most com- plete of its kind in the world. CEREMONIES AT STADIUM OPENING ARE HELD BEFORE RECORD CROWD The Ohio State game has been held with the 86,000, it finally becomes so and the new stadium is officially op- natural that the whole affair seemed ened! It was not a dedication, for there was nothing to which to, dedi- cate the great bowl, but it was as impressive and as satisfactory as any dedication could hope to be; for even the weatherman smiled and cooperat- ed with the production of a perfect day. The University of Michigan, nor the whole state of Michigan ,has never seen a crowd so vast. Endless files of human beings, piled nearly a hun- dred rows high, encircled the smil- ing green area in which was enacted the business of the afternoon. It took one's breath away, this multitude, upon first entering that immense bowl;' but after one took his infinite- simal place in the scheme of the thing, and cheered and shouted and sang CHICAGO TEAM BEATSENYVNA[LVN Captain Benny Ooosterbaain (above)., Louis Gilbert (below). Who, ,in yesterday's game, showed themselves to be a remarkable offen- sive combination. Passes, Ooster- baan to Giblert, were directly respon- sible for all of the three touchdowns, scored by Michigan. This reverses the famous combina- tion of the last two years when Ooster- baan was on the receiving end of the passes. Captain Oosterbaan has proved himself to be the most accurate passer of the team. Gilbert not only .proved his ver- satility by his excellent work in re- ceiving passes, but also distinguished himself running back punts as well as making several long runs through a broken fiend.

CHICAGO, Ill., Oct. 23-Amos Alon- zo S'tagg, dean of American football' coaches, saw his dream of 30 years crowned with success today when his maroon jerseyed warriors conquer-1 ed Penn 15 to 7 before 55,000 spec-a tators. The4victory avenged,attleast for, this 64 year- old football teacher, a string of defeats Pennsylvania has, handed his team. Stagg ,the "old man" of the grid- ironasent an inspired crew of foot- ballers against Pennsylvania today. Th.ere was an efectiveness and trick- ery in the Chicago attack in ad- vancing the ball through the line, and Stagg's backfield aces pass}:d ;and passed and passed until the bewilder- ed Pennsylvanians became dizzy un- der the barrage. It was the first time in the memory of the oldest maroon admirers that Stagg sent forth a team equipped with so effective a forward pass attack. Chicago, threatening and dangerous from the very first play until the last, scored a touchdown in the second per- iod and another in the third by beau- tiful passing. Starting from the Pennsylvania '47 yard line in the sec- ond period, Stagg showed the eastern- ers some hidden ball formations of his own, when Leyers, who had replaced Burgess at full-back for Chicago, gain- ed 12 yards on two effective pivot plays through tackle. Then the maroon opened up with passing, shot from Anderson to Men- denhall, running for 14 yards, with Mendenhall carrying to Penn's 31 yard line before he was checked. Then to make the situation more confusing the Maroons started some triple passing. Leyers took the ball from center and feinted a plunge at the line, turned and tossed the ball back ten yards to Mendenhall who in turn shot it forward to Anderson, who was brought down on Penn's six yard line. After striking center for a yard, Mendenhall was given the ball a second time and crashed through left tackle for a touchdown. ANOTHER STUDENT SCALPER IS FINED Police reports of yesterday carried the name of one more student, Rex. quite in the scheme of things. Ohio's 110 piece band was first on the field at 2:15, with its scarlet and gray uniforms and the white spats. Then Michigan's maize and blue capes emerged from under the east stand, and while the crowd rose and roared its applause the wolverine organiza- tion opened the ceremonies with a blare of a trumpet. Then, the alumni entered and fol- lowed the bands on a parade around the field. With them were the nota- bles present, including several gov- ernors and former football stars. With the alumni also were the two real live wolverines, "Biff and Benny." Then the first 20 men of the Michi- gan team entered, and another round of cheers volleyed from the throat1 of the stadium. Ohio's team entered, which was the 4ignal for the pennant wavingaroot ersfrom Columbus to whoop and cheer in the most ap- proved Ohio State manner. Four airplanes zoomed overhead; the bands spasmodically competed to see which could play "Hail, Hail"' with the fastest tempo (It was a draw); the sun smiled congenially as the pun- ters thudded the pigskins in their warming up drills; the Ohio State sec- *tion sang "We don't give a darn for the whole state of Michigan;" and the wolverines tknawed at thei steel bars in a vain attempt to be out with their vicious cohorts on the field. Finally the officials came, and two former women students at Michigan and Ohio carried giant boquets out before the battery of cameras. There they posed with a football player apiece, and having satisfied the news reels retired to the sidaiiELs. Then the kickoff-and the game-but that is another story. During the game Michigan's cheer- ing section had its first chance to perform effectively, and though the seating arrangement made somewhat of a mess of the "M" itself it was all forgotten when Gilbert flashed across the Ohio goal line for the first touch- down, and amid the delirious bedlam the flying cardboard cards of the cheering section made up for what- ever other shortcomings it may have had previously. At the half the Michigan band was somewhat outmaneuvered by Ohio's aggregation, though both of the mu- sicians' groups did excellent work. The principal difference was that Ohio could make a recognizable "OHIO" while our own "MICH" looked remark- ably like a mob scene. At the "M" however, Michigan excels, and demon- strated her excellence yesterday. But it finally ended, and the Michi- gan band had the chance again to crash forth on the opening strains of the "Victors;" and the 86,000 piled out of the stadium. It was the official opening 21 to 0. DOCTOR EXPLAINS TAYLOR'S INJURY Possible misunderstanding as to the condition of Laverne Taylor, sopho- more end who was injured in the Wis- consin game, has been cleared up by a statement from Doctor Hugh Cabot. Taylor is not as seriously injured as early reports have stated. Dr. Cabot's statement follows:r "There seems to be some misappre- hension about the condition of La- verne Taylor, '30. He was hurt in the Wisconsin game. After his re- turn to Ann Arbor a fracture of the sixth vertabra in the neck was dis- covered. There was but moderate dis- placement of the fragments and no serious symptoms. "Treatment will require -his stay in MICHIGAN IS ONLY MAJOR TEAM IN COUNTRY WHICH HAS NOT BEEN SCORED ON By Herbert E.

The scoring opportunity for North- western t came early in the second period due to the great superiority of Lewis' punts over Mills' kicks. A 65- yard punt by Lewis put the ball on Illinois' 1-yard line. Mills punt reach- ed only to the 15-yard line. " -Haas passed to Waldo Fisher for a 12-yard gain and Lewis plunged over from the 3-yard line on the first try. Then with Clarence Stuessy re- placing Blair French at quarter for Illinois, the Illini unleashed their overhead drive in earnesttt. Stuessy passed wide to Walker for good gains and then across the Northwestern goal line into the arms of Walter- Jolly who had just gone in at end. The third period opened discourag- ingly to Northwestern when Gustaf- son's fumble gave Illinois the ball on Northwestern's 20-yard line but the Purple resisted the Illini attack and the punting duel was resumed, this time Walker having the better of Calderwood in the exchange. The one point margin of Victory for Illinois was not quite as impressive as the Illini's advantage on ground gained as the invaders made 13 first downs tc >!rthwestern's 10.

Marek's attempted place kick scarcely ~left the ground and Michigan took charge of the game scarcely to relinquish it again. Gembis made four yards and a mo- ment later caught a pass from Gilbert for first down on the Buckeye 35- yard line. On the second play after this the Wolverines stationed a "sleep- er" across the field and Oosterbaan came back to pass. He worked a per- fect deception by hurling the ball straight down the field to Gilbert who caught it on the 15-yard line and ran across the goal line untackled for the first touchdown. Pass Again Works - Jn the third quarter the Oosterbaan to Gilbert pass combine again be- came active. Afcr an exchange of punts Gilbert's return put the ball on Ohio's 40-yard line. Pucklewartz's pass to Rich was incomplete and Ooos- terbaan plunged through the line for a yard. Then came another "'shoot to kill" play by the senior members of the firm. Practically duplicating the first touchdown play, Oosterbaan, standing in midfield, threw a tremend- ous 48-yard pass to the same elusive Louie who stumbled the remaining two yards for the second score. Hoffman, who had just returned to the game, called on the venerable, hoary-bearded, old reprobate of Yost's "83" as a stimulant of the final touch- down in the middle of the fourth per- iod. After holding the ball on a fake place kick by Gilbert, Hoffman picked up the oval and scampered 29 yards through the left side of where the line had been to give the Wolverines first down on the Bucks' 9 yard line.
