BIG TEN TRACKMEN
TO COMPETE TODAY1
FOR INDOOR TITLE
Conference Athletes Gather at
Minneapolis for Annual
Championships.F
IOWA SLIGHT FAVORITE
Chicago, Wisconsin, and Ohio
State Given Best Chance
to Outscore Hawks.
By Sheldon C. Fullerton.
Track and field athletes from all
of the Western Conference univer-
sities will gather in Minneapolis to-
day for the annual indoor cham-
pionships which will be run off to-
night and tomorrow. One of the
closest indoor meets in recent years
is predicted, with no one school be-
ing favored to cop the title by any
appreciable margin. Iowa, defend-
ing champion, has a good chance
to repeat, but will be hard pressed
by several other teams, among
the most formidable being Wiscon-
sin, Ohio State ,and Chicago.
Many individual stars are listed
among the entries, but no one team
can show a balanced array of
trackmen that will assure it off
points in each event. The outcome
of the meet seems to depend more
than ever upon the number of sec-
onds, thirds, and fourths that the,
leaders can amass, as first places
appear to be fairly evenly distri-
buted among the main contenders.
Wolverines May Place.
Michigan's chances to take any
first places are slim, but the Wol-I
verines should take several points
for. place. Tolan and Campbell,

Poet-Critic Comments on Poetry, Criticism;

Explains Parodies in

Verse, Creative Work


Untermeyer Talks on Lawrence,'
Hoffenstein, and Others
in Interview.
"When a man reaches the age of
40, he should begin to take himself
seriously, even if no one else does.
That is why I gave up parody and
turned to creative poetry," said
Louis Untermeyer, noted poet and
critic, in an interview yesterday.
"The function of the parodist and
critic, while important, lacks the
creative drive of the poet, who is
seeking to make his mark. Others
were doing even better parodies on
my own parodies, so I felt that it
was high time for me to branch
out," he stated.
When asked about the death of
D. H. Lawrence, Mr. Untermeyer
smilingly proclaimed his innocence,
but when asked what he considered
Lawrence's place in modern litera-
ture, he expressed the belief that
his prose works would outlive the
poetry. While he considers Law-
rence's works extremely powerful,
even including his paintings, he al-
so believes that his writings are
too sex-obsessed to be of great and
lasting value.

selves to the expression of racial

"Dorothy Parker and Samuel

The talk turned again to parody.

JUDGE OVERRULES FINES
(By Associated :Press)
CLEVELAND, Mar. 6.-Freedomr
of the press won another victory3
here today when the Appellater
Court overruled a contempt of .
court conviction of Louis B. Seltzer,a
editor, and Charles K. Matson, edi-
torial writer of the Clevelandf
Press, daily newspaper. f
The Appellate court ordered Ma- ,
son and Seltzer not to py $500
fines nor to serve 30-day jail sen-
tences which were imposed on tnem
a year ago by Common Pleas
Judge Frederick Walther. In audi.-
tion, the Appellate judges scored
Judge Walther for his actions in 9
the case and delivered an opinionw
that the rights of free newspapersP
are essential to' a free people.
Judge Walther tried and con-e
victed Matson and Seltzer on the
contempt charge when he took of-t
fense at an editorial in the Pressl
which criticized him for granting1
an injunction restraining Sheriff
E. J. Hanratty from stopping a bet-'
ting system at a race track.
. Newton D. Baker, former Secre-
tary of War, defending Matson and1
Seltzer, .declared that the editorial
was inotAin.contempt inasmuch as I
it did 'not interfere with the court
nor concern'a case then pending.
The Appellate court decision1
said: "We live in an age of piti-
less publicity where the freedom f
the press and freedom of speech
are paramount issues, and news-
papers should have the right to
print what they please, always
guiding themselves by the laws of
libel. A free people must have
a free press, and a newspaper
should have the right to speak
freely its views. >
"Because a man gets on the
bench, it does not necessarily
mean that he has changed his
temperament or his liability to get
excited and if he can set himself
above the rest of mankind and sit
in judgment on grievances in
which he is the injured party, we
are establishing a dangerous prece-
dent.'_

G

new trends
The lecture
of a spring

series under auspices of the Hillel
Foundation.
According to Mr. Untermeyer,
national poetry has taken on a
new signficance within the last
decade. Outlining three principal
developments in the "twentieth
century poetry," the New England
poet declared, "The new age has
seen American poetry become es-
sentially American in a national
feeling, in range, and in language."
The rise of a poetical national
spirit in this country, he believed,
is evidenced by the wide use of
local subject matter.
Calls Moderns Distinctive.
"Writings of E. A. Robinson may
be distinguished from those of Car*
Sandburg by a mere glance at thek'
form on the printed page, whereas,
for the nineteenth century, works
of menrsuch as Longfellow and
Whhittier can easily be thought
identical," stated Mr. Untermeyer,
in illustrating that modern poets
tre developing distinctive types of
personality through the medium of
words.
He then advocated the proposi-
tion that the United States is cre-
ating a language of its own, which
is becoming increasingly visible on
the "poetical barometer." "In Am-
erita," observed Mr. Untermeyer,
"English is one of theumost beauti-
ful of the dead languages. How-
ever, the new 'American language'
is a most vivid and diverse affair."
Talks on Poets.
Brief opinions concerning lead-
ing poets were given, in which Va-
chel Lindsay, Carl Sandburg, and
Ezra Pound were enumerated as
respectively representing the three
classes of religious, modern, and
intellectual "jazz." The poet then
read a letter from Virginia Woolf,
literary purist, to illustrate an ideal
combination of poetry with prose
in diction.
A short anthology of poems wasj
thenhgiven. including several by
Robert Frost, and one by the lec-
turer, entitled "Caliban in a Coal
Mine." The discussion concluded
by the readng of several of the
writer's parodies on Richard Vin-
cent Benet, John Masefield, and
Edgar Guest; this was followed by
short open forum session.

MATTHEWSTALKS
AT INITIAL FOUMHt
Noted Author Discusses Youth
in Relation to World
Peace Movement.
ED PEACE CONFERENCE'
Speaking on the importance ofx
youth i relation to the world peace
movement.. Prof. J. W. Matthews,
noted author and traveler, address-
ed, the first of the annual spring
All-Campus forums at 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon in Alumni Me-J
morial Hall. Professor Matthews
who was chairman for the WorldI
Youth Peace Congress which was
held in Holland last summer, based
his talk on observations taken di-1
rectly from the conference.
"Youth looks on peace as of little
value unless justice is also embod-
ied," said the lecturer. "The moral '
ideas and energies of youth regard-
ing world peace have, especially in.
America and England, been swung'
off into social problem channels of
much less importance."
Referring to the many confer-
ences which have been called in the
past in order to outlaw war, Pro-
fessor Matthews stated that "most
i measures thus conceived are too
negative to satisfy youth's craving
for action."
In concluding, the speaker told
of the inactivity among groups of
college students who do not realize
the importance of the international I
complicationsin which the Unite d
States is daily becoiing more in-
volved. At the close of the address,
an informal discussion concluded
the forum program.
Professor Matthews is a traveler
of wide experience, especially in the
Near East and the Orient. He is
also the author of several well-
known books, one of the most re-
cent of which is "Conflict or Co-
operation.''

ON 'REDTHU A
Thousands Watch Police Break
Up ed' Gatherings in

MANY HURT IN CLASHES
Demonstrations by Communists
Are Feature of International
Unemployment Day.
(By Associated Press)
On historic old Boston Commons,
n a newer Campus Martius of De-
troit, on Pennsylvania Avenue out-
side the high iron fence that sur-
rounds the White House grounds, in
New York's Union Square facing
the Tammany Wigwam, in the hills
of Seattle, and in the roaring can-
yons of Chicago, tens of thousands
of Americans gathered on "Red
Thursday."
Some of them were on jail to-
day and some in hospitals. Hun-
dreds nursed lacerated scalps, black
eyes, bruised noses, and the rest,
thousands on thousands, had gone
peacefully back to flats and bun-
galows, enjoying the exhilaration
of having seen "a real show."
Many Watch Parades.
There were communists among
them, communists trying to make.
more communists by an interna-
tional unemployment day with the
jobless marching simultaneously on
City Halls all over America and all
over the world. There were men
without work, shabby, ill-fed, de-
spondent, but more than all- the
rest there were just everyday Amer-
icans, those curious ones who will
stop traffic any day to watch a
man demonstrating a safety razor
in a drug store window.
And so far into the night, 'New
York police detectives worked to
sort out communists from innocent
onlookers among the hundred-in-
jured in the prison .ward of Belle-"
vue Hospital, and in Cleveland, De-
troit, and Seattle, hundreds of per-
sons who no doubt are not com-
munists at all, or even out of jobs,'-
were recovering from night stick
blows.
Foster is Arrested.
With nearly one hundred injured
and almost as many arrested, in-
cluding William Z. Foster, presi-
dential candidate of the Workers'
communist party in 1928, New
York's demonstration was the big-
gest.
In Detroit, fourteen were report-
ed injured and 31 injured. A crowd
estimated by Detroit police at 100,-
000 jammed into Campus Martius
and Cadillac Square, backing up
into Woodward Avenue, half a mile
from the City Hall. 2,000 police
finally cleared them out, partly by
running buses and street cars
through the mob.
Many Are Arrested.
In Washington, the police used
a tear gas bomb and their night-
sticks to disperse a smaller crowd
that gathered outside the White
House grounds. Twelve were ar-
rested.
In Cleveland, three thousand pa-
raded to the City Hall, and fifteen
thousand gathered in Public Square.
Mounted police charged in and
broke up the demonstration.
There was one arrest on Boston
Commons, twenty were arrested out
of a crowd of 5,000 that milled
around the City Hall in Toronto,
and 20 outbofa parade that was

Dean Kemp went on to state that
