LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 2.-Her-
bert Hoover pointed today to the
unparalleled registration for next
Tuesday's election as "expressive of
the seriousness of the issue and the
earnestness and conviction with
which our people are meeting
them',"
"This evidence of unprecedented
interest in the future of the repub-
lic must be gratifying to every one
who has its welfare at heart," he
said in the second address in his
final campaign swing which will
take him to his California home to
vote.

YELLS OF THREE LUSTY COHORTS
RAISE ROOF OF HILL AUDITORIUM
By Lark
Three lusty cohorts of Michigan,
isolated like an island in a sea of
empty seats, staged the most
frenzied, most abandoned, most up-
roarous pep meeting of all time last
night in Hill auditorium. It was
the only pep meeting in the history
of Michigan at which the audience
did not exceed the speakers in
numbers, honors being divided at
three each.,
T. Roscoe Jones, familiarly
known as "Steve," who once was
quite a skate with the hockey team
and who flaunted a mean tonsil in
the face of his debate opponents,
gave the, first speech for the affir-
mative.
His thrilling message consisting
of "I shall not mention any num-
ber of things" will be forever writ-
ten into the annals of Michigan
history. The fighting message
served as an electrifying inspira-
tion to the crowd, for all three of
them leaped to their feet and went
mad with their insistance for a.
Wolverine win.

talk on the brilliant intellect of his
bady son, brought tears to the eyes
of all who heard. Then, with a sud-
den shift of tone that was like the
shock of a cold shower or a five-
ton truck, he paralyzed the audi-
ence with the flaming remark that
"tomorrow would see in action a
Maize and Blue team on fire." It
was a hot speech.
One distinctive feature of the'
meet was the fact that there was
one cheer leader for every student.
This was a great forward step in
the movement for individual educa-
tion..
