Committee Hopes To Have Fifteen
Wolverine All-Americans
In Attendance,
Fifty-two members of the Varsity
football squads, about twenty
members of the coaching, training
and administrative staffs, and the
entire one hundred piece Varsity
band are to be the guests of the
University of Michigan, club of De-
trot at 6:30 o'clock Saturday night,
De. 7, in their Annual Football

the. program, Frank D. Eaman,.
prominent Detroit attorney will be
toastmaster for the affair. Direc-
tor Fielding H. Yost, Coach Tad
Wieman, George Rich, and the
eaptain-elect for 1929 will also
make short talks. Invitations have
been extended to Major John L.
Griffiths, director of Big Ten ath-
letics, and Col. John G. Emery of,
Grand Rapids, former National
Commander of the American
Legion, and it is very possible. that
both of th'ese men will be present
as speakers, .
To'Present Rings
As in past years, the club will;
present "M" rings to the graduat-;
ing men on the squad. Judge Guy
Miller, 'OOL, of the Wayne County1
Circuit court, who was a great
athlete and captain of the Michi-
gan baseball team during hisl
senior year here, will make thei
presentation speech and award thei
rings to the eight graduating men,
Capt. flich, Boden, Cragin, Pom- .
mei-eping, Squire, Totzke, Williams,
and Whittle. Motion pictures of1
the varsity eleven in action will1
be shown by Morris Caplan of the,
Metropolitan Motion Picture com-
pany.
'Efforts are being made to have
all of Michigan's fifteen "All-]
American" choices present at the
Bust and inasmuch as nine of them
are now living in Detroit and Ann I
Arbor, and since Harry Kipke plans {
to be in Detroit on that date, it
seems highly probable that at least
ten will be . tfere," according to
Carroll P. Adams, secretary of the 1
Detroit club.
Steketee May Attend I
"Steketee lives in Grand Rapids,
and Benbrook lives in Chicago and
so they will probably attend, along
with Maulbetsch who will probably
be visiting here at that time," he ,
added. "The only two that seem .
dubious are Slaughter, who is in
North Carolina and Stan Wells,
who is in Kentucky."
Erwin F. Coveney, '15E, is chair-
man of the Committee of Arrange-
ments for the University club of
Detroit, and will be assisted by a
committee consisting of Francis
DuBois, George Hummitch, Roy
'Mattern, Ray Mau, - H. W. Miller,
Herb Schlessinger, and Albert
Wardell.
The University of Detroit Athletic
association will be hosts to the en-
tire group at the Georgetown-U.

noon. Five chartered buses are
to be furnished by the Detroit
alumni to transport the squad,
coaches, and band, to Detroit and
back to Ann Arbor.

farm relief, Boulder Canyon dam,
and disposition of Muscle Shoals
were among the subjects brought
before President Coolidge during

CRUIZET'S ORCHESTRA
WILL PLAYFOR1 PROM
"Bob" Cruizet's orchestra has
been secured for the Sophomore
prom to be held Dec. 14, it was an-
nounced today by the committee
through Walter Yeagley, '31, the
chairman. This orchestra is for-
merly of Detroit, and is widely
known throughout the country.
Having played at an unusually
large number of college and uni-
versity dances irk every part of the
country, especially in the south,
during the last two years, the or-
chestra is well adapted to giving
excellent music for occasions such
as the Sophomore prom.
The Sophomore prom is the first
real formal dance of the school
year, and is the first big social
event following t football season.
Consequently, considerable interest
is taken each year in the dance.
With the orchestra selected, the
committee will soon announce the
sale of tickets, according to the
chairman. It is expected that a
rapid sale will be had.
"Bob" Cruizet's orchestra played
at the Pan-Hellenic ball here two
years ago.
ANNOUNCE DATE F
Explaining the principles of edu-
cation he is endeavoring to put into
practice at the University, President
Clarence Cook Little, spoke last
evening at the Union before ap-
proximately 125 representatives of
Michigan newspapers. The editors
were assembled at the annual
president's dinner given by the Re-
gents of the University in honor
of the University Press club, which
is holding its tenth annual conven-
tion for three days at the Univer-
sity.
Members of the Press club opened
their meeting at 2 o'clock yester-
day afternoon. A second session,
was held in the evening at which
the address of the president was
the principle item on the program.
Sessions are being held throughout
today, and the convention will
close with a business session and
luncheon at noon tomorrow. In
the afternoon the members of the
Press club will be guests of Coach
Fielding H. Yost, and the, Board in
Control of Athletics at the Iowa-
Michigan football game.
Education Is Obligation
"Education in the University is
an obligation, as well as an op-
portunity, to the student. This fact
is based upon recent scientific de-
velopments in the field of educa-
tion, upon the fact that the Uni-
versity is a part of the state, and
KING GEORGE IS
SERIOUSLY ILL
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Nov. 22.-After a mid-
night consultation at the bedside
of King George, Lord Dawson and
Sir Stanley Hewett, physicians to
the King, left Buckingham Palace
at 12:55 this morning.
The fact that Sir Stanley did not
stay at the palace throughout the
rest of the night as had been ar-:
ranged previously, was regarded as'
a hopeful indication that nothing'
alarming had developed.
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Nov. 22.-Dr. Hewett
and Lord Dawson remained at the
bedside of the King for a long
time before issuing the evening
bulletin.
It was understood that despite
the more serious nature of their
finding the condition of His Maj-
esty was not considered grave
enough to warrant the sending of
any message to the Prince of Wales
and the Duke of Gloucester, who
are in South Africa. It was stated
that the question of shortening
their tour had not yet been con-
sidered.
It appears that although His
Majesty's fever is persisting, his
temperature is not very high. This
is regarded as reassurance, as is
also the understanding that the
congestion of his lungs is only very
slight. Unless there is a turn for
the worse, it is believed he may be
able to leave his bed in about ten
days.

J. R. Watkins,A 17L, United States
District Attorney, Will
Represent Alumni
John R. Watkins, '17L, of Detroit,
United States district attorney, has
been selected to deliver the prin-
cipal speech at the third pep meet-
ing of the year to be held at 1
o'clock tomorrow afternoon, in Hill
auditorium, it was announced late
last night.
W atkins, a graduate of the liter-
arX college in 1915, was ,a member
of Druids and Barristers. He will
represent the University alumni
upon the speakers' platform.
Owing to the fact thatramChoral
Union concert is taking place in
Hill auditorium tonight and there
is no other place convenient to
the campus the pep meeting will
be held tomorrow just previous to
the game.
Ask Section To Attend'
All members of the cheering sec-
tion are being especially urged to
attend the pep meeting with their
capes, caps, and megaphones. It
is planned that they will follow the
band down State street to the sta-
dium after the meeting.
The band will appear in Hill
auditorium for the pep meeting
and will play the various Univer-
sity songs. Cheer leaders will be on
hand and will lead the student
body in yells.
According to the present plans
of the Student Council, a student
speaker and someone representing
either the faculty or the coaches
will be secured to speak.
Iii is probable, however, that the
speaker will be selected from the
faculty, if one is secured, as the
coaches will be particularly busy
making last-minute preparations
for the Iowa battle.
"Beat Iowa" Is Slogan
The slogan which is expected t
be the watchword of the session is
a simple "Beat Iowa!" It represents
the concerted belief of the student
body in the team and typifies an
attitude which has been prevaleni
upon the campus since the Illinois
game when the Wolverines, playing
as underdogs, came out of th
woods to win.
The pep meeting is being hel
at an unusual hour, unfortunately
but the Student Councilmen re-
sponsible for its preparation believ
that a large portion of the studen1
body will arrange to be on hand.

Teacher Is Handicapped
"The teacher of singing labors
under the disadvantage of being
obliged to develop the talent he
discovers in a pupil without know-
ing the kind of vocalizing appar-
atus the pupil has. He listens to
the pupil trying to sing, discovers
something of promise, . and starts
from there to teach the pupil prop-
er methods of normal voice pro-
duction."
"The range of the pupil's voice is
determined by the result secured
and is often disappointing to both.
It would be of value to both the
teacher and the pupil to know def-
initely 'about what the normal'
range of the pupil's larynx is so
that they might know with some
certainty where to begin and from
what point to extend the range
both upwards and downwards.'

Glen McGeoch, instructor in the
