Copeland, '89,bto the freshmen clas last night at the traditional Ca Night ceremony. The slopes o1 Sleepy Hollow, where the activities were held, was crowded with more than 5,000 students and townspeo- ple, and was illuminated by a huge bonfire into which the freshmen hurled their "pots", officially enter- ing the University. Copeland Speaks Senator Copeland, former student and professor of the University and mayor of the city of Ann Arbor, re- called interesting incidents of his student d.ys, 40 years ago, before urging members of the class of '32 to be sympathetic in their opinions. "There is a growing conflict be- tween the urban and rural popula- tion of the country, because of a failure to understand the other's problems. Evidence of this is quite apparent in the farm relief debates In Congress, where the men from the city show a disregard for the welfare of the farmers," the New York Senator stated. j Speeches by leaders of the two largest graduating classes opened the program, arranged by Council- nan Jennings McBride, '30. Ken- neth Schafer, '29, and Eugene East- erly, '29E, presidents of the senior literary and engineering classes, respectively, were the student speakers. Athletes Awarded Blankets Varsity athletes in the graduating classes were singled out for award and appreciation, by the represen- tation of "M" blankets by Coach Fielding H. Yost The blankets are awarded annually to winners of two "M's" in one sport. The recepients were Durwin Algyr, Fred Asbeck, Horace Barton, John Bergelin, Gleen Copeland, George Hubbell, Gabriel Joseph, Wilford Ketz, Allen Lamont, Ernest McCoy, Randolph Monroe, Kingsley Moore, Ray Neb- lung, John Palmeroli, Otto Pom- merening, George Rich, Daniel Rose, Kenneth Schafer, Robert Warren, Thomas Watson, Louis Weintraub, Herbert Wiggers, and Theodore Wuerfel. After throwing their "pots" into the fire, the freshmen marched, with the University band, to Hill auditorium, where a free movie was presented. The film was shown through the generosity of the But- terfield theatrical interests, under the direction of Gerald Hoag, man- ager of the Michigan theater. Erdman To Conduct St. Andrews Service Dr. Charles R. Erdman, of the Princeton Theological Seminary, will be the preacher at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning at St. Andrews Episcopal church, at State and Huron. Dr. Erdman, formerly moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, is not only famous as a preacher but is re- nowned for his part in restoring peace within the Church at the time of the Fundamentalist contro- versy. He has also written several books on religion, each from a lib- eral viewpoint. Dr. Erdman will be remembered for his address, "The Quest for the Chief Good" at astudent convo- cation last.year.

A rather warm remi- niscing took place between him and Coach Fielding H. Yost, with whom the Senatorbwas closely associated when Yost began coaching his fa- mous "point-a-minute" teams. Commenting upon the recent Democratic victory in the Senate, relative to the debenture-farm re- lief bill, he said that the harmoniz- ing of the Democratic Senators since the opening of the session is an unprecedented bit of legislative politics. "The uniting of the Democrats in the stand against Hoover was cdue to two things. First, the paying off of the election debt through the ef- forts of John J.

Nation's Best Horses Will Compete For Honors In Racing Classic Today i THREE MOTORS DISABLED Passengers and Crew Are Safe After Fainl Attempt to Withstand Terrific Wind (By Associatd Press) CUERS, France, May 18.-The dir- igible Graf Zeppelin was safe to- night in a hangar here while the liminishing mistral with which she had been in perilous struggle all day howled on overhead. The crippled ship, only two of five motors working, with occa- sional help from a third, was drawn Down to earth here, literally at the °dge of the Mediterranean sea, and beside the only landing mast in France. The 18 passengers and 40 nembers of the crew again set foot to the solid earth above which they had tossed in uncertainty through- out the day. Two Motors Dead The landing was at 8:35 p. m. (2:35 p. m. eastern standard time). Mo e than 38 1-2 hours before the' dirigible had nosed into the air from Friedrichshafen an set her course for Lakehurst, New Jersey. Twelve hours later, after an unusu- ally fine start, Dr. Hugo Eckner, confronted with the loss of two mo- tors, headed his ship back home from the Spanish coast. The battle to wintpassage up thc Rhone valey against the near gae from the northwest failed, and Dr. Eckner decided on a landing here. It was nearly dark when the ship appeared. Lieut. Samon, com- mander of the airdrome, had as- sembled soldiers, sailors, and civil- ians hours before. They drew the ship down and within half an hour the passengers, one by one, de- scended to the ground from short I ladders raised to the cabin door. ' Passengers Badly Shaken The mayor and .most of the doc- tors of this village of 3,000 inhabi- tants were at the field, but the pas- sengers needed no medical aid. Some of them said they had been rather badly shaken up during the last few hours but no one was hurt. Dr. Hugo Eckner was the last to leave the car. He turned immedi- ately to thank the French officials who, with others, all up the Rhone valley had stood by throughout the day to give him aid. Even the female gorilla, Susi, was brought out of her compartment. The animal seemed to have suf- fered more than the human pas- sengers. Cuers-Pierreseu is the center for air defense for the fortified city of Toulon, one of the great French naval bases, and has an aviation school with hangers for both air- planes and dirigibles. The Com- mandent of the Naval District, as] soon as the distress of the Graf Zeppelin was apparent, ordered preparations for an emergency1 landing. Troops were rushed to the field by motor trucks from Hy- ers, Frejus, and Toulon. The old hanger of the ill-fated French diri- gible Dixmude was ready.. Dixmude Broke Records The Dixmude, which was in her time broke all records for distance and endurance was lost in Decem- ber, 1923, with her crew of 52 in a violent storm encountered over the Mediterranean. Troops from Valence garrison, where the high wind earlier frus tratedan attempted landing, pur- sued the wind blow bag in motor trucks down the Rhone Valley. The French government by radio offered Dr. Eckner his choice of landing places, and called his attention to the exceptional facilities here. Louisiana Trial Ends Abruptly Impeachment Proceedings Aguinst Governor Long Dropped By Senators BATON ROUGE, La., May 17.- As the impeachment trial of Gov. Huey P Long passed into history politicians today took inventory of the political aftermath. The impeachment proceedings shot political factional lines away, and it probably will take several weeks for political leaders to adjust their affairs. The trial came to#An abrupt end- ing Thursday after 15 senators, suf- ficient to prevent conviction, de- clared their intentions to vote for acquittal' because they believed the procedure unconstitutional. The political eyes of the state were centered on the governor for a cue before courses were mapped. Yielding to his advisers, he has de- clined to speak for publication for "a few days." He probably will go to his home in Shreveport for a rest after the harrowing weeks when he was under fire, first in the house and then in the senate. OPERA TRYOUTS SPRACTICE DAILY~ Il Kubicek Breaks Tie With Triple To WinContest Bay J. C. Baker, Sports Editor, Purdue Exponent LAFAYETTE, Ind., May 17.-It took ten innings of a hard, well-played game to enable Coach Fisher's Wolverine base- ball team to prove its right to top berth in the Big Ten to the satis- faction of Ward Lambert's Boilermakers yesterday afternoon on Stuart Field. Two runs in the tenth inning, scored on a three base hit by Kubicek, after Hebelung and Straub had walked, brought the count "up to 4-2 in favor of Michigan. The Boilermakers were unable to rally sufficiently in their half of the inning, though their hopes rose with Lyle's hit after two men before him had been put out at first.

If, as expected, a score of thor- oughbreds go to the post around 5 p. in., central standard time, the race will be worth $64,000, of which approximately $54,000 will go to the victor in the struggle of speed, stamina and courage over the route of one mile and a quar- ter.
