XLIV No. 24 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1933 Alumni Returning For Annual Games Between Classes) Homecoming Crowds Are Largest In Many Years; Games This Morning Pillow Fight, Cane Spree Scheduled Flag Rush Third Event; To Award One Point Each In Events Won With the largest number of alum- ni returning to the University for Homecoming that has been seen in many years, officials and students were completing enthusiastic plans last night for their entertainment. Included in the events are the an- nual Fall Games between the fresh- man and sophomore classes, to be held at 10 a. m. today on South Ferry Field, the judging of the best decorated fraternity house, the clas- sic Michigan-Ohio State football game this afternoon, and numerous dances, .reunions, and other festivi- ties for tonight. Class games will bring to a con- clusion one of the most spirited com- petitions that has sprung up between the two lower classes in recent years, their spontaneous battles through- out the past week reminding ob- servers of the "old enthusiasm" that alumni are fond-'of describing. Meeting Places Named Members of the first year class will meet at 9 a. m. at the Union, and sophomores at the same time at Wa- terman Gymnasium, where they will be painted with their class colors - green- for the freshmen and red for the sophomores. From these two gathering points' the two groups will proceed to the field, where the games will be con- ducted by the co-operative commit- tee of the Union, under the direc- tion of Lewis Kearns, '35. Kearns stated that all members of the two To Award Prize For Best House Decoration The committee which is to award the loving cup to the fra- ternity having the best decora- tions for Homecoming will make its selection at about 11 a. m. to- day, driving about the city in a special car to determine the prize- winner. The cup, now on display in the window of a State Street cleaning establishment, is to be presented- to the winning house at the next meeting of the Undergraduate Council. Prof. Preston E. James of the geography department, Prof. Ar- thur E. R. Boak of the history de- partment, and two members of the Undergraduate Council, Gil- bert E. Bursley, '34, and Wilbur Bohnsack, 34, will compose the. judging committee. classes must be painted with their respective colors or they will not be admitted to competition in the games. Three Main Events There are to be three main events, the cane spree, flag rush,' and pillow fight. Nine men will represent.-each side in the cane spree and pillow fight, and the contests will be under no time limit, the match ending when all opponentsare beaten.d In the former, one man from each side grasps a pick handle with both hands, and the object is to wrest it from his opponent. For the pillow fight contestants sit on saw horses, with lances made of long poles that are tipped with stuffed guinea sacks, and attempt to knock each other from the horse. Freshmen Defend Flag The flag rush, usually considered the best of the three events because there is no limit to the number who may take part, calls for two greased poles with flags at their tops. These will be guarded by the freshmen, while members of the second-year class attempt to get the flags away from them. One point will be given to the winner in each of the three events, so that winning two out of the three will entitle a team to be named winner of the games. Fair Sex Invades Sanctum Of Males At Michigan Union Where, oh, where are the two wo- men students who tried to enter the Union by the front door two years ago? They landed in jail for trying it that time, but 'today they could do it without the least bit of trepi- dation, for officials have decided that women students and visitors may al- most have the "run of the building" on game-days. They may come in the front en- trance without so much as a side glance toward the spot where George, guardian of the men's seclusion, stands. They may even proceed downstairs to the Taproom, while traditions fall with loud crashes in the background. But, men of Michigan, there is still hope, for they have to leave those sacred places by 9 p. m.~ Bands Meet In Old Rivalry On Street And Field Solemn Tribute To Farrell Will Be Central Feature Of Elaborate Display Scarlet coats and dark blue blous- es will vie again today for supremacy in the music field as the Michigan and Ohio bands meet on the street and in the Stadium in another of the series of annual encounters. The blue wool and yellow leather of Michigan's "Fighting Hudred" will shine not only in a series of maneuvers requiring extraordinary skill, but will pay tribute to the memory of the late Stephen "Steve" Farrell, spelling out his name and standing rigid at attention while a trumpeter sounds "Taps." What the n a t t y scarlet-caped white-spatted band of the O. S. U. regiment will do in the way of be- tween-halves maneuvers is still a se- cret in Ann Arbor and in most of Columbus, but public announcements have been made that the Buckeye band will play "Who's Afraid of the Big, Bad Wolf?" and "Don't Give a Damn for the Whole State of Michi- gan," and officers of the Michigan band were aware yesterday that riv- alry between the two sparkling units would reach a pitch not seen in re- cent years. A committee of officers of the Var- sity Band will be on hand shortly ' before noon as the first special Ches- apeake and Ohio train carrying the band and spectators pulls in over the Ann Arbor Railroad tracks. Soon after 1 p. m. "The Victors," with "Across the Field," hard on its heels, will crash out on State Street as the two bands set out from Mor- ris Hall on their lively march to the Stadium, where they will separate for another year. State Band Goes To Sea EAST LANSING, Oct. 20-(Spec- ial)-Michigan State College's 75- piece military band, unit of the State R. O. T. C. regiment, left here today by bus for Muskegon, where it will board ship for Milwaukee and the M. S. C.-Marquette football game Saturday afternoon. Soviet Russia Is Invited To Attend Parley Kalinin Accepts Offer Of U. S. To Meet At White House Peace Conference Recognition May Follow This Move Chief Of Foreign Affairs Will Represent Russia At Washington Soon MOSCOW, Oct. 20.-()-Russia announced tonight its acceptance of President Roosevelt's proposal to ne- gotiate for the American recognition of the Soviet Union, believing that such action will serve the cause of world peace. In the most cordial terms the So- viet president, Mikhail Kalinin, re- plied to a message the United States executive sent him on Oct. 10, and announced he would send the foreign commisar, Maxim Litvinov, to Wash- ington. WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-(P)- President Roosevelt today announced that he had invited a representative of the unrecognized Soviet Govern- ment to confer with him-a move ob- viously leading toward recognition of that government. Mikhail Kalinin, president of the Soviet Republic, has accepted the Roosevelt invitation. He is sending M. Litvinov, the com- misar for foreign affairs, to Wash- ington. President Roosevelt will personally conduct the negotiations with Litvi- nov. It was emphasized at the White House as the President made the an- nouncement that this act in itself does not constitute recognition of Russia. Mr. Roosevelt personally read his letter to the Soviet Pre'sident, dated Oct. 10, and the latter's reply, dated Oct. 17, to newspapermen who crowded his room at the regular press conference today. Cheering Not Good Enough, Alumni State There has been much comment on the poor showing of Michigan's cheering at games both at home and abroad, according to Thomas Rob- erts, '34, head cheerleader. At the' Michigan Club dinner last Thursday night at the Detroit University Club many of the alumni present re- marked that they missed the brand of cheering which was exhibited dur- ing their years on the campus, Rob- erts said.f The Ohio State game, being per- haps the most important game in the country today, should be sup- ported with cheering of the same or- der, he added. Michigan will have attendance enough, Roberts pointed out, and all that is needed to pro- duce the best cheering in years is enthusiastic support. It is especially important for those students sitting in the cheering sec- tion to read the directions on the back of their tickets 'carefully and to follow. directions faithfully. Above all, it is essential that these students keep their cards intact until the last stunt has been performed and not destroy them when the game is half over, Roberts said.

Requirements Joint Action Can Add Up To 3 Years; Semester Required For All Men Announce Summer Session Committee Three Given Leaves Of Absence For The Second Semester Addition of from one semester to three years on the requirements for physical education for men students was made possible by the Board of Regents at their October meeting held yesterday afternoon.

Other actions taken at this meet- ing of the Regents include the ap- pointment of Deans Henry M. Bates of the Law School, James B. Ed- monson of the School of Education, G. Carl -Hubert of "the Grauate School, Edward H. Kraus, of the lit- erary college, and Herbert C. Sadler of the College of Engineering to the newly created executive commit- tee for the Summer Session.

Begun at the time of the Michigan State game two weeks ago, the policy of having a number of members of the executive council and of the re- ception committee on hand through- out the morning of a home game to give all possible assistance to vis- itors has proved a distinct success, and has met with widespread ap- proval, officials said. There will be a clearing house through which any tickets that have been turned in by purchasers unable to use them at the last moment will be sold, although it is not likely that there will be many of these today, it was added.

New Luck Charm To Replace Warriors Of Michigamua To Dedicate New Tribe Wigwam By CARELTON MASON, JR. In the highest wigwam seen in. countless moons, braves of the Tribe of Michigamua will meet today to formally dedicate their new abode.. Surrounded by relics and tokens of the American Indian, and with Chief Michigamua sternly watching from a portrait on one of the walls, braves who entered the Tribe as long as 30 years ago will gather with those who have followed them to have their own homecoming in the wigwam just completed. The walls of birch, covered with Sachem will preside over. the gather- ing. On the wall at his back hangs a plaque with the names of the braves of the Tribe who have been called to the happy hunting grounds, and below it another one with the names of those who were called to the land of promise in the great battle. Trophies of the chase line the other walls, and weapons that were used by the ancestors of the Tribe. I any pelts are hung and draped about the wigwam, as well as snow- shoes, mounted fish, and the heads of deer.
