TWELVE PACES I I- [D[[ocker Takes New FRESHMEN BURN iiosition At Denison POTS IN ANNUAL' CAP NI6HT FIREP TOSS SYMBOL OF SERVITUDE INTO FLAMES AT SLEEPY HOLLOW CEREMONY 'M' BLANKETS AWARDED Judge Guy A. Miller, 'OOL, Recalls Traditions of Former University Life While a crowd of several thousand people looked on, the Freshmen danced around a huge bonfire to toss their pots into the flames as the climax of the traditional Cap Night ceremonies held last night in Sleepy Hollow. The event began with parade which formed on the campus in front of the library {about 17:30 o'clock. The Varsity band led the way to the scene of the program on the hillside east of the University Hospital. "Through a great sacrifice on the part of parents the University has been built up to teach the supreme values of the cardinal principles of life-loyalty, sincerity, honesty and knowledge," s'aid Judge Guy A. Miller, 'OL, of Detroit, base ball captain in 1897. Miller Recalls Traditions Judge Miller recalled some of the traditions of Michigan. He 'said the Law class of 1900 introduced the era of concrete sidewalks in Ann Arbor by making a bonfire of the old wooden ones. They also introduced the era of open front lawns by introducing the fences which surrounded them to the same fate, and started the "antedeluvian" street-cars on the downward path when they made a bonfire of the ties which supportedl the State street car track. He also recalled memories of the days when Miss Evangeline E. Land, Lindy's mother was a student at the Univer- sity. "The only other end who ever play- ed on a Michigan football team who should be compare-t -Benny Ooster- baan is Neil Snow who played end for four years and had won 12 letters when he graduated," Judge Miller said in commenting on the presentation of the M. blankets. Speaking for the -students, Jo H. Chamberlin, '28, told of the meaning of cap night to the various classes and to the faculty. In talking of Mortimer E. Cooley, Dean of the Col- leges of Engineering and Architec- ture, who was unable to speak last night because of illness, Chamberlin said that respect was dne Dean Cooley as a "helper to build men and women of ability and understanding. We must pay our repects to Dean Cooley as a gentleman and a scholar." Smith Introduces Speakers Before introducing to speakers, Courtland C. Smith '28, president of the Student Council told of the tradi- tions of Cap Night and the history of the event. He then introduced Coach Elton E. Wieman who presented the "M" blankets. In order to win an "M" blanket a man must have won two letters in one sport and must be, a candidate for a degree. The presentation of the blankets at Cap Night ceremonies is the only official public recognition shown Varsity athletes by the Uni- versity. During the presentation a large burning "M" flamed on the hill-side before the crowd. During the program, several selec- tions were played by the Varsity band and cheers were led by Charles Cor- rell, '30, a Varsity cheer leader. Fol- lowing the ceremonies at "Sleepy Hollow" a moving picture show wa givenat Hill Auditorium which in- cluded a feature picture and a comedy furnished by Butterfield Theaters Inc. Arrangements for the ceremon were made by a Student Counci committee headed by John E. Starrett '28E. The committee was greatly aid ed in completing the plans by Buter field Theaters, the Buildings an tGrounds department and the studen body as a whole.

ALUMNI !UNIVERSITY IS ENDORSED AT REUION Michigan, Wisconsin, Missouri Heads Address Final Event Of Two Day Triennial SUBMIT DORMITORY PLANS (Special to The Daily) CHICAGO, May 11.-Alumni of the University of Michigan cheered wild- ly at announcements made tonight at the second triennial banquet con- cerning the, inaugural of the ten year alumni program for the satisfacton of University needs: Nathan Potter, govdrnor of the University of Michigan club of Ann Arbor announced that the Ann Arbor society was sponsoring a campaign for the erection of the Burton Mem- orial Campanile on the campus. This campanile will permit the housing of a carillon for which a campaign a- mong the students has already been 1 started. Ann Arbor alumni will be backed in this campaign by the city and its civic organizations and by alun.'ni organizations and alumni throughout the United States. ; Following this momentous announ- ' president of the Detroit aluni so- ciety, announced that the Detroit al- l umni had already raised a sum of '$25,000 towards financing of dormI- tories. This sum is the first achieve- ment in the program of alumni for giving dormitories to Michigan. 'Such a program has been approved in prin- ciple by the Board of Regents and has been made the principle objec- tive of jlumni by action of the tri- ennial reunion. (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, May 11-Alumni of the University of Michigan at the trien- nial conference today endorsed plans _ for an "alumni university" proposed by President Clarence Cook Little. Four hundred delegates also voiced their confidence in the president's policy. "We renew our faith and confidence in President Clarence Cook Little and _pledge to him abiding loyalty and con- tinuing support," reads th'e resolution adopted by graduates. Reassured by this support, President Little last night enlarged upon his plan to provide education for alumni. He spoke at the triennial banquet. "The great fault with universities,' Y said Dr. Little, "is they can't see the 1 forest because of the trees." "We are too prone to let minor ' problems becloud main issues," li said. "There are decidedly more im- portant things than conjugation o t French verbs and the solution of prob lems in calculus. We must remembei that the factors of greatest momen are the relations of the alumni to th university and the relation of both o: S these to the state. "The 'alumni university' will be created with the idea of creating a more active and intelligent interes on the part of the graduate. It wil s l begin with the student in his under p graduate days by preparing him to re - ceive assistance which the universit h will be able to give to greater ad- p' vantage when his mind has matured.' d Fielding H. Yost, Michigan's fam SENATORS HONOR LATECOLLEAGUE~ LAT H__E (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, May 11.-The life story of the late Frank B. Willis of Ohio was recounted by his Senate col- league today when that body laid aside its duties to pay homage to the memory of a member stricken by death on the eve of his greatest po- litical adventure. The special services required that the word-battered but otherwise un- scathed Republican tax reduction plan be laid aside until tomorrow. Up to date it had successfully repelled Democratic raids in every engage- ment and it looked today as if the Democrats themselves were a little tired of trying. At least they talked of many other things than taxes most of the time the bill was up for consideration. On the House side, the emergency officers' retirement bill after violent but seemingly increasingly limited opposition was pushed toward theI final vote. Even its most ardent op- ponents admitted toward the last it was a hopeless fight.

JAPAN CONCENTRATES TROOPS IN SHANTUNO (By Associated Press) LONDON, May 11.-While the Jap- anese were concentrating their posi- tion in Tsinan, capital of the province of Shantung, today, further prepar- ations were being made in Tokio to send reinforcements to the war-torn province. Simultaneously the intervention of Ithe Japanese in Shantung has been put to the League of Nations at Gen- eva. The Nanking (Southern) govern- ment entered a protest with the Lea- gue against what it charges is th Japanese violation of Chinese ter- ritory and independence. For the mo- power to act unless the Peking gov- einment, or another governtent member of the league, associates it self with Nanking in seeking an in vestigation. Geneva dispatches indicate the pos sibility of direct negotiation between China and Japan, instead of actio by the League. Orders have been issued to the Yap anese railway authorities to prepar for the transportation of 20,000 me , and more than 5000 horses to Shan - tong between next Sunday and rr end of the month. This will brini the total Japanese troops in Shan tung to about 28,000 men. Tokio advices place the number o: e Japanese dead in the recent fightin at 34, 21 of them soldiers. Sevent soldiers were wounded and nine ci vilians, while 28 civilians are missing P Advices from Shanghai reporte the death of Mrs. William T. Hobart 68 years old, of the American Metho o dist mission at Paianfu, near Tsnan e on April 20. Mrs. Hobart, whose hus s band is at Tainfu, was killed by d bullet fired through a small windor e in her bedroom during fighting be - tween the Nationalists and the Nor - therners. MINNESOTA STARS COUNTED ON FOR WINS IN THEIR SPECIALTIES. PROGRAM BEGINS AT 2:30 Buck Hester Favored To Win Dashes; Cooper Slated For Victory In High and Low Hurdles By MORRIS QUINN Another page will be added to the annals of Michigan dual meet history this afternoon when Coach Sherman Finger's Minnesota track team in- vades Ferry field for the single home engagement on the Wolverine out- door schedule. The first event on the program, the 100 yard dash, is sched- uled to take place at 2:30 o'clock. While the Gophers are not expect- ed to press the team that whipped the supposedly strong Buckeye outfit a week ago at Columbus by a twenty point margin, their individual stars are certain to score heavily in their Specialties. A survey of the meets in which the Northmen have engaged thus far, fails to reveal even a semblance of team balance.. In the Ohio Relays the Gophers collected a few points, and placed in four .events in the Drake Relays a week later. Compet- ing in a triangular meet last Friday with Iowa and Wisconsin, they finish- ed a poor third. Otterness To Compete The invaders will depend on the pole vault for a number of their points as Otterness, Hess, and Crow- ey are all consistant at 12 feet 6 :nches or better. Otterness did 13 feet 1 inch in the Ohio meet and Hess cleared 12 feet 10 inches to win at Drake. Captain Buch Hester is favored to :ake both dashes, although the Min- aesota team boasts a capable sprinter in Rhea, who has turned the 100 in better than 10. Chapman can be re- led on to press both of these men, f Coach Farrell decides to use him n the sprints. Chances of another Wolverine 'slam n the 440 seem out of the question Nith Catlin entered for the Gophers. le is credited with a victory over owa's Olympic candidate, George Laird, in Friday's meet. Lomont and Yionroe have bettered the perform- inces of any of the Minnesota half milers. With Captain Laemmle slated to 2ompete in the discus, the invaders are practically certain of another first place, as he has tossed the plat- :er over 135 feet on several occasions. rhere appears to be little to choose oetween the shot putters of the two teams, as neither boasts a consistent 10 footer. . Michigan Favored On a basis of their showings in the Ohio meet the Maize and Blue athletes should capture the majority of the Joints in both the mile and the two nile runs, as the invaders are notice- ably weak in both events. Similiarly, he Wolverine broad jumpers, Chap- man and Arendt, are favored to finish one, two, the Gopher's placing only ;hird last week when a jump of slightly over 21 feet was good for first. MacKinnon, Minnesota javelin thrower, appears a likely winner due o the fact that he has been tossing the reed around the 175 foot marki with greater regularity than any of the Michigan athletes. Ooternes [less, apd Rhea are slated to par- ticipate in the high jump witl Felker, Waldo, and Lane entered fo the Wolverines. While Don Cooper is expected tc annex both the high and the lo hurdles without a great deal of diffi culty, Otterness has ran the high in :15 and may give him trouble Kinney, Cooper's teammate, must als be reckoned with in the shorter event The hammer throw appears to be Michigan's best chance for a slam, a Ketz, Williams, and McArthur are al considered better than the trio o Minnesota weightmen.

The Wolverines continued their ha- bit of allowing their opponents a sin- gle run. McAfee and Twogood engag- ed. in a real pitching duel for eight innings, only to have the Fisher- coached team come to life in the final inning with a three run rally. The big Wolverine sophomore had a shade the better of "Lefty" Two- good, who was on the mound for the Hawks. . The Iowa twirler granted eight hits and whiffed 13, but his wild- ness proved detrimental, seven Mich- igan batters reaching first base on walks. McAfee allowed 10 hits, but tightened up with men on bases and effectively checked the Hawkeye ral- lies. Poor base running, however, was as much the cause for the Iowans' de- feat as their inability to hit in the pinches, several possible runs being cut off because of this weakness. Captain Loos, Nebelung, and McCoy were the big guns for the invading team, while Thompson, who led the Big Ten hitters last season, collected a brace of doubles. Captain Terry gar- nered a triple and two singles in five times at bat. McAfee started his team one its way to victory in the third frame by scor- ing the fir~t run of the contest, when he clouted the ball over the fence for a homer. The Wolverines added two more to their total in the fifth on two singles, a double steal by Nebelung and Mc- Coy and Oosterbaan's two bagger. The " Hawks knotted the count in this frame, however, scoring the single run gleaned off McAfee's delivery. With two men retired in the ninth, the Michigan team went on a ramp- age that netted three more counters and put the game on ice. Two walks, Nebelung's. triple, and McCoy's single sending three runs across the plate. ..BOX SCORE Michigan Loos, ss Nebelung,cf McCoy, If Corriden, 2b Oosterbaan, 'lb Weintraub, 3b Reichinan, c Slagel, rf McAfee, p Totals.

"His message," continued Professor Lovett, "is in harmony with that of the other contemporary prophets such as Ruskin, Arnold, Elliot, and Morris who were all striving toward the same ideals."
