EIGHT PAC S 1r OS UBSIIOATHLETES IN BANQUET ADDRlESS; LiING IS CONVOCATION SPEAKER i DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS SAYS DEVELOPING OF MEN IS COACHING PROBLEM BRUMM IS TOASTMASTER Delegates Hear Lee White Of Detroit News At Afternoon Meeting Of High School Journalists "But one thing has made possible Michigan's great record in sport ev- ents for 'the last three decades, and that is the spirit imbued in the ath- letes who represent it," declared Coach Fielding H. Yost, director of In- tercollegiate Athletics, who address- ed the more than 300 delegates of the Michigan Interscholastic Press Assoc- iation at their seventh annual banquet in the Union last night. "Michigan has been fortunate enough to possess that spirit which makes for service and development." Coach Yost went on to say that the coaches problem is not that of devel- oping plays but one of developing men and the individual. "Men building is the finest business in all the world," Coach Yost said, "and it is only to the extent that individuals are properly developed that a coach can hope for his men to win. Morale is not some- thing that you can put on like a shirt or a suit. It is something that you build." Describes Athletic Plant Coach Yost told the high school ed- itors about Michigan's new and grow- ing Athletic plant. "More than $3,250, 000 have been spent in building and. improving the plant, and it is still not big enough," the speaker averred. ".But we are not alone concerned with the athletic side of this great project. It is furthered with the idea of develop-, ing Michigan students in a moral, phy- sical and mental way. That is the thing we are trying to accomplish." Prof. John L. Brumm, head of the journalism' department, acted as toast- master at the 'banquet. Shirley W. Smith, secretary and business man- ager, who was to have been the other banquet speaker was unable to appear owing to illness. Delegates attended the high school debate in Hill audi- torium at the conclusion of the ban- quet. Detroit News Editor Speaks "You are coming into the inheri- tance of one of the most com'plex civ- ilizations the world has ever known," Lee A. White, editorial executive of The Detroit News, told the delegates at the afternoon assembly in the Un- ion. "For that reason you must be able, to express yourself well. A word is the7 symbol of an idea and they are to be made use of in expressing your ideas. The thing to work for in your writ- ing is clarity, simplicity, directness and refineinent. Don't be afraid to use your own language; ,rather, ap- proach it with the confidence that makes for mastery and understand- ing." Allen Shoenfield, Ann Arbor corres- pondent for the Detroit News, was the, main speaker at the morning assem- bly. Mr. Shoenfield spoke on the sub- ject of "Problems in Journalism," tel- ling the delegates what they could ex- pect if they went into newspaper work. He admonished them, in the event that they intended to pursue this course, to plan, on traveling along two roads; the first one leading to some execu- tive position on a reputable news- paper; the second leading to some branch of journalism apart from ac-' tive newspaper work itself. "You should consider a reportorial job not as a mere job but as an apprentice- ship to something better," Mr. Shoen-7 field declared. Hold Discussion Groups Discussion groups were held during the remainder of the morning and af- ternoon. The afternoon discussion groups were held inthe journalism department, and were conducted by members of The Daily business and. editorial staff, Sigma Delta Chi, the journalism. department, the Gargoyle and the Michiganensian. The press convention will terminate. today, with the annual business ses- sion scheduled to be held this morning in rootn 25 Angell hall, and the an- nual banquet scheduled for 12 o'clock in the Union. Awarding of the news- paper cups to the prize winning news- papers will be made at this time by J. Stewart Hooker, '29, general chair- man of the convention. In the afternoon delegates will be the guests of the Athletic AAoiation 'lITElATURE AND LEISURE' IS TOPIC OF TAL GIVEN BY CHICAGO DEAN PROFESSOR GIVES LECTURE Meetings In Ann Arbor High School Will Occupy Attention Of Club During Morning Sessions "Literature and Leisure" was the theme of the convocation address which Gordon Jennings Laing, dean of the Graduate school of the Uni- versity of Chicago, delivered before the annual convocation of the Michi- gan Schoolmasters' club yesterday morning in Hill auditorium. "In how many countries could one discuss this subject?" he challenged. "There are very few nations in Europe in which we could talk on any phase of this, but in this country, we are able to discuss it so that it applies to the citizen and the application of literature to his leisure. This is due to education." Dean Laing pointed out in the open- ing that this application cannot be ap- plied to everyone for all are not suited to reading good literature, either by mentality or temperament, and conse- quently are not affected by books. The new system of applying leisure to literature depends on education and students to prove these new ideas, and I Dean Laing thereupon traced some of the steps. "The start may be made in the grade schools" he said. He pointed out that many of the new readers now used in school are chosen from good works, and thus train the child's mind in the correct wvay. "Howiever great cre must be taken in choosing the pas-1 sages, as many are far too advanced for the child and thus kill their lik-4 ink for good literature at the start." In high school, the advance may be much more rapid. Here, influence of] the individual teachers is one of the greatest factors in shaping the stu-1 dent's path toward learning. "In col-1 lege, the application of literature, ofi course, may be carried much further.t Here they study good literature more intensively and better," he said. "But this is only the start. These in1terests in college lend a great start1 in liking literature, but many drop itt as 'soon as they leave college," he emphasized. This is entirely the wrong attitude, as they should be justf beginning. "Many non-college men have ad- vanced by applying leisure to liter- ature. But they have read only goodF literature, just as the college mana must read it for full benefit. We must not only read, but write as well" he scored that attitude of many collegeC men as that of "don't let your studies interfere with your education." He also scored 'as another obstacle to, better literature and its enjoyment, the cheap theater: follies, movies, andt vaudeville. "The only thing to do is turn ourt backs on poor theater and poor read-1 ing, and read good books," he con-t cluded. The convocation was opened by two£ number by a girls' chorus and harp! quintet, with cello, from the Cass Technical high. school of Detroit. Both the chorus and the speaker were introduced by President Clar- ence Cook Little.- The program of the club, besides the convocation included yesterday a special lecture on "Sounds That Burn" delivered by Prof. R. W. Wqod of Johns Hopkins university in Natural Science auditorium. Professor Wood was greeted by a large audience and4 showed several pictures of his latest experiments in his department of physics. The club was split up in many different section meetings for the rest of the afternoon. "LAND SURVEY IS GREATEST WORK," STATES LOVEJOY "The most outstanding accomplish- ment of conservation in the state of Michigan has been the land survey," P. S. Lovejoy, director of the game division of the state department of conservation. declared in a rlecture yesterday afternoon in Natural Science auditorium. "Wild life affairs are of interest to- day; tree planting is on the increase; game wardens are now independent; but it was the land survey that en- abled Michigan to outstrip the other Lake states in the field of conserva- tion," he said. "The development of forestry in Michigan has been peculiar, erratic, and for a long period without focus. In the Lake State's the differences in conservation between states are large- ly due to land utilization. At first, forests wereregarded As a menace to farming. The plow followed the axe as the demand for timber from the prairie states developed. It was only in 1900 that people began to say that somebody should do something about the excessive cutting. And in that re- spect Michigan was ahead of the other states of this area." Mr. Lovejoy traced the history of the forestry school of the University and told of its relation to state for- estry. He de'scribed the campaigning of Prof. Filbert H. Roth, first direc- tor of the forestry school, to interest the state in conservation. f 'WHY GO TO COLLEGE' IS THEME OF ADDRESS~ "Don't Come To College To Be A Big Man On T lie Campus," Says President Little DISCUSSESFIVE POINTS Responsibility to the state, to socie- ty, and to parents was the main theme of the address which President Clar- ence Cook Little delivered to the Stu- dent-Faculty Conference yesterday aft- ernoon in Hill auditorium. President Little's talk was on "Why Go To College," and his talk was followed by those of several members of the University administration who an- swered questions on their own special departments. "The state is saying 'we give you $500 per year, why use it' for selfish purposes?' " President Little opened. He continued by outlining a few of the types that are wanted and not wanted here on the campus. "Don't plan to come here on account of your athletic ability, or your ability in de- bating or oratory. Don't come to be a big man on the campus. Too many of them are useless. Look on your abilities only as a source of useful- ness." Students Must Have Maturity "In the elementary courses, you cross the spaces of centuries of hu- man knowledge to the boundaries. There you are faced by obstacles- what we want here is a trained set of mountain- climbers." On account of this immense advance in so short a period of time, the mind must be trained. Students coming here must have maturity and ability, he told them. The colleges are not what you see in the movies. It is a place for serious work, and is an opportunity given you at the peoples' expense. He named five points in the ques- tion of coming to college, and in re- garding the problems of solving op- portunities. The first was "learn to hunt for an opportunity." "They do not come to you," he said. The second was "learn to recognize an opportuni- ty." The third "learn to put a sensible I value on the opportunity" and the fourth "learn to use opportunity" led directly to the fifth point which he I emphasized, "Use that opportunity to create opportunities for others."

MINER TO MICHiGAN TEAM TRIUMPHS OVER SYRACUSE. 4-1 WEARENS 'IN SEVENTH GIVE MICHIGAN WINNING RUNS ASBECK ALLOWS NINE HITS Orange Makes Only Score On Battery, Errors And Sacrifice In Opening Inning y By Clarence Edelson Until the chilly breezes finally weak- enedl the pitching arm of the Syra- cuse ace, George Miner, Coach Ray Fisher's Varsity nine remained blank- ed and the Orange run scored in the first inning loomed more and more impressive. But Fred Asbeck's erra- tic twirling for Michigan was not too erratic and the Wolverine's closing rush finally allowed them to secure their ninth consecutive triumph, 4-1, yesterday at Ferry field. The two squads will cross bats again today at 2:30 o'clock. That lone Syracuse run which came as a result of three battery errors and a sacrifice hit in the opening round seemed to be scheduled for considerable company in the fourth and fifth, and again in the sixth.

Westerman, of the history department of Columbia uni- versity, before the classical section of the Michigan Schoolmasters' club. He began by tracing the horse, in history. The first records of such an animal have been found in those of about 3000 B.C. in the district around the iMediterranean sea. The first name fiwas "the ass-from-the-East." Soon they were used to draw war chariots, and later used as mounts in wartimes. After their use in war exploitation, they were used for communication purposes. It was not until late that they were used for horseback ridi-ng. "Interest in war transports led to the use of camels," he declared. "The strange thing is that they had a know- ledge of the beasts and did not use them," he added. Since those early times, they have been supreme in the deserts until the innovation of the air- plane and automobile. The Greeks and Romans never used the horse as a labor animal, he point- ed out. They were regarded as a" exotic animal. ROYAL OAK AWARDED" STATE CHAMPIONSHIP, Receives Unanimous Vote Of JudgesI Over Zeeland Negative In High School Debate DIRECT PRIMARY IS TOPIC!

He emphasized the establishment of additional forests as community and city projects. ,In con- clusion, he mentioned the many uses for wood, and need of keeping faith with the forests of Michigan. Mr. Sink traced the history of the University Musical society, and of the May festivals. He then described the next festival, to be given from May
