Pitches Cards To Victory By ARTHUR CARSTENS DETROIT, Oct. 3-Miciey Coch- rane's vaunted "Battalion of Death" infield cracked wide open during the first three innings of today's World Series opener and before the carnage could be stopped three Cardinal runs scored and Jerome (Dizzy) Dean was well on his way to his thirty-first vic- tory of the year and his third in six days. The final score was 8 to 3. While the Tigers were playing like sandlotters the Cards gave an exhibi- tion of- championship ball, making only two errors to the five the Bengal infield booted. They pounded three Tiger pitchers for 13 "hits, including a home run and two doubles. Dean was the laurel-grabber of the afternoon but Joe Medwick, Card left ,ielder and clean-up batter, got him- self a piece of the glory when he col- lected four hits, one of them a home run into the newly-erected left field bleachers. Receipts Total $139,643 Official paid attendance was 42,505, approximately 3,500 short of capacity. Receipts totalled $139,643, which was divided into three major parts: $71,- 207.93 to the players on the two teams, $47,4.split among the -two contending clubs and the two major leagues, and $26,946.45 to the base- ball advisory council. Apparently Dizzy Dean will try to do the same thing to Detroit that Babe Adams did to the Bengals in the 1909 Series. Adams, after only a year or so in the majors, won three games and the Pitt Pirates won the title. Dean went in yesterday to pitch his first series game against an ex- perienced veteran, General Alvin Crowder, and kicked over the dope bucket with a vengeance. He was in trouble only once in the nine innings. In the third inning af- ter two were out Dean walked, White and Cochrane singled. Gehringer then singled, scoring White, and took second on Orsatti's fumble in center field. With runners on second and third Dean had to face the hard-hit- ting Greenberg. Hank swung wildly at three of Dizzy's best and the prom- ising Tiger rally was ended. Greenberg Scores The second Tiger run came in the sixth. Gehringer led off with a grounder to Collins who threw to Dean covering first for the first out. Greenberg poked a single into center and continued to second when Or- satti fumbled the ball for his second error of the game. Goslin sent a roll- er between Martin and Durocher that went into left for a single, Greenberg scoring. Rogell was out at first and Owen fanned to end, the inning. In the eighth "Lanky" Hank Green- berg parked one in about the 20th row of the left field bleachers after (Continued on Page 3) Union Bureau For Absentee Voters Opens An absentee voter's bureau estab- lished in order to assist students from other towns and states in balloting in the November elections will be opened today by student officials of the Union in the south lobby of the building. A complete set of voting laws for all of the state in the Union has been dirawn up so that students who are eligible to vote may be instructed in the proper procedure for absentee voting in their respective states. Douglas R. Welch, '35, secretary of the Union, said that there are many Cross Calls Applicants For Rhodes Prize Scholarship C a n d i d a t e s Must Hand Applications In Before Nov. 1 Candidates for the Rhodes Schol,. arship from the University should se- cure application blanks before the first of November, Prof. Arthur Cross, chairman of the Rhodes Scholarship committee announced yesterday. Ap- plication blanks may be secured from the secretary of the history depart- ment, Room 119, Haven Hall. Professor Cross also suggested that all students who are interested should see' him before they make their ap- plications. The stipend of a Rhodes scholar is fixed at 400 pounds a year, which is roughly, $2,000. ,Appointments are made for two years but may be ex- tended for one year more. A candi- date, to be eligible, must be a male citizen of the United States, un- married,,between the ages of 19 and 25, and must have completed at least his sophomore year at college. The qualities which will be con-, sidered in making the selection are literary and scholastic ability and attainments; exhibition of moral force. of character and of instincts to lead and to take an interest in his school- mates; and physical vigor as shown by interest in outdoor sports or in other ways. A candidate may apply either in the state in which he resides or in the one in which he has received at least two years of his college education. Among the Rhodes Scholars who have been chosen from Michigan are: Edgar Ailes, Detroit attorney; the late Willard Barbour, who was at the time of his death a leading authority in the field of English law; Ralph Car- son, who was president of the Ox- ford Union, and is now associated with a prominent firm of lawyers in, New York; Prof. John Dawson of the Law School; Albert C. Jacobs, for some years tutor and lecturer at Ox-E ford, and now on the faculty of the, Columbia Law School; James Wat- kins, one-time police commissioner in Detroit; and Prof Hessel F. Yntema. The Rhodes scholars at Oxford have maintained a high standard. About three-fourths of those selected have been Phi Beta Kappa men, Largest State Band To Play Here Saturday Illinois Here To For Bring First BandI Timei Since 1928 EAST LANSING, Oct. 4. - (Spe- cial) - With 'a larger membership than at any time in its history, the Michigan State College Military Band will leave Saturday morning for Ann Arbor to participate in the Michigan- Michigan State football game. The State band will have more than 90 members this year, having gained nearly a score of new men since the 1933 football season, according to Prof. Leonard Falcone, director. Drum-Major Donald A. Strouse, '35,1 and a reception committee from the Varsity Band made plans Wednes- day night to meet the Michigan State College band when it arrives in Ann Arbor Saturday. The State band will arrive in downtown Ann Arbor by bus early Saturday and will march, with an escort of Michigan bandsmen, to its temporary headquarters at Mor- ris Hall. Informed that 150 members of the huge University of Illinois Bands would come to Ann Arbor Oct. 27, making their first trip here since 1928, Strouse and Bernard B. Hirsch, acting conductor of the Michigan band, Wednesday night gave assur- ance that "we'll be ready forany- thing musical Illinois can bring toI Ann Arbor." Jotter T'o Accept Go vrnment Joh Prof. E. V. Jotter, former assistant' professor of forest extension, has left the University to accept a position with the government in the soil ero- sion service at Washington. Professor Jotter came to the Uni- versity in 1924 from the. Forest Prod- ucts Laboratory at Madison, Wis. Previous to this he served in the forestry service in California. For sev- eral years he taught fire-prevention and control, and for the past few years he has done considerable travel- ing throughout the state in connec- tion with his work in forest extension. JEROME (DIZZY) DEAN Case No. II NOTE: The Daily, in order to show the necessity of weeding chiselers out of the FERA and replacing them with students actually in need of jobs, is running a series of casehistories of needy students. Names are not mentioned in the series but definite proof of each case is available. - The Editors. He had an FERA job last year. He returned to school this year ex- pecting to get his job back, but was placed on the waiting list. He works for his board, getting three meals a day. He owes two weeks' rent to his landlady, and will owe her more unless he gets a job. He can't buy any books. He worked in Boston, his home town, this summer, saved some money, but had to lend it to his mother. He had to borrow from the University for his tuition, but will meet the note in November, when his mother intends to return his summer's earnings. He broke his eyeglasses last week. He does not have the $3.25 neces- sary to have themrepaired. Today his liabilities double his assets. He will probably leave school unless he gets a job. New Deal Is Criticized By Samuel Wyer Roosevelt Is Accused Of 'Moving Tammany Hall To Washington' Hitting President Roosevelt and the New Dealers for having "moved Tam- many Hall to Washington," having thrown the American people into ac- tual bankruptcy, and for having en- listed the aid of Socialistic doctrines to revive a dying Capitalism, Samuel S. Wyer, former Federal technical adviser and crusading consulting en- gineer from Columbus, Ohio, last night addressed an audience of stu- dents and faculty men in the Natur- al Science Auditorium on the subject, "Contributions To a Way Out of the Depression." Charging that if $11 were to be tccumulated every minute since the birth of Christ, we would not yet have enough to pay for the tremendous- cost of the New Deal, Wyer swept aside Anarchism, Communism, So- cialism, and present-day Capitalism as not feasible in our times, and call- ed for a "revolt of youth, sane and sensible," to rebuild a new social structure, based on constitutional control of production, capital invest- ment, and natural resources. Cultural Courses Best Advising college students to avoid technical courses and to study gen- eral cultural courses that they may better adapt themselves to a chang- ing social order, Wyer charged that there are three important issues be- fore the world today: an intelligent attitude toward religion; a need for the elimination of War; and the re-' covery from the depression. The first one, he says, would solve the last two, if adopted. "Seventy-two cents of every tax dollar goes for war activities," said Mr. Wyer. "Our war debts are as dead as the boys in Flanders. We ought to cancel them, but only on the basis of a downward revision of arm- aments. It is time we had the social intelligence to realize that wealth is less sacred than the lives of our youths sacrified on battlefields." "The world is suffering from acute indigestion of rugged individualism without social responsibility; we must realize that mass production demands mass buying power." Muscle Shoals Is Delusion j "Muscle Shoals is the biggest de- lusion that has hit America in the [last century; fooled by engineers and statesmen, and that premier fiction sheet, the Congressional Record, we have been fooled into throwing away a fortune." Asked by Dr. Edward W. Blakeman, Counsellor in Religious Education, from the audience, what he thought of the NRA, Mr. Wyer replied, "The NRA is sound in idea, but crude in application. If Johnson had used diplomacy instead of rough-house methods, he would have been success- ful. Bernard Baruch could have done it." Hoover's recent magazine articles are "unbalanced and misleading" thinks Mr. Wyer, and Upton Sinclair's EPIC plan is "unfeasible." "Unless capitalists are willing to divide part of their profits with the workers, Capitalism is doomed within the next two years; God only knows what will follow." lYnnor Rennhheawn* Will Urge Square Judicial Committee 1Ioc1 T..FR A Waiting List Prof. Gram Tells Alpha Nu Everything Possible Will Be Done For Needy Sees To Conformity Spirit Of Grant "Rules Bah!"U.S. C. Frosh Yell; Shh!" Say Upperclassmen New Projects Are Coming In Every Day; Will Be Filled FromEligibles Students on the FERA waiting list will get a "square deal" from the ad- ministration, and everything possible will be done for those in need of jobs, asserted Prof. Lewis Gram yesterday. Professor Gram thinks it unlikely that there is a very high percentage of chiselers in the FERA, but amend- ed that statement, declaring that he had no proof to that effect. One can- not make a statement regarding chis- elers with any degree of certainty un- til more facts are available, he said. Gram Addresses Alpha Nu At a meeting of Alpha Nu speech society last night, Professor Gram said that the FERA is being operated this year in much more conformity with the spirit of the grant than was the case last year. He was referring to the change in the application blank that the student must sign which this year simply requires a statement of financial condition. Miss Elizabeth Smith, of the FERA registration office, stated that 20 stu- dents have been taken from the wait- ing list this week and have been placed among those who will be given positions as soon as they can be as- signed to suitable projects.

While Michigan men of '38 are strolling the campus minus any dis- play of their inferiqr standing and disregarding generally all soph threats, Southern California Frosh have been putting their feet into trouble by acts of disrespect towards upperclassmen. A huge '38 painted on the sidewalk in front of the administration build- ing a week before freshman rules went into effect started things off. This breaking of long-established tradition so irked the Trojan Knights and Squires, powerful junior-senior group, that rigid enforcement of freshman rules was brought about a week before they had been previous- ly planned.

Ponselle Admits Liking For Both Opera And Concerts Knuusi, Healey, McCombs, Ferris Are Chosen From Undergraduate Group Homecoming Plans Already Under Way Flag Rush, Cane Spree, Tilting Will Be Part Of Fall Games In the election of Judiciary Com- mittee members from the member- ship of the Undergraduate Council, held yesterday at the Union, Allen Knuusi, '35E, John C. Healey, '35. Wil- liam G. Ferris, '35, and Allan D. Mc- Combs, '35, were chosen as the four students who, with Carl Hilty, '35, president of the Council, will comprise the committee. The Judicial Committee handles student disciplinary cases, such as ticket scalping and disorderly con- duct. The more serious cases go to the faculty judicial committee. Knuusi, a member of Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity, was a member of The Daily business staff for two years and of Triangles, junior honorary so- ciety of the engineering college. Hea- ley is a member of Alpha Delta Phi fraternity and is city editor of The Daily. A past member of Sphinx, he is at present the president of Mich- igamua, all-campus senior honorary society. Ferris, managing editor of The Daily, is also a member of Mich- igamua and a past member of Sphinx. McCombs Chosen McCombs is at present the presi- dent of the Union and is also a mem- ber of Michigamua. He is affiliated with Lampda Chi Alpha fraternity. It will be impossible to set dates for the class election as yet, according to an announcement issued by the Council yesterday. The delay is due to the fact that the date of publica- tion of the Student Directory is not known at present. The executive com- mittee will act later and make known the date, it was reported. Elections will be. supervised by Council mem- bers as usual. The week-end of October 27 was picked for the annual home-coming celebration, the Council announced. Plans are already underway for the week-end and it is believed that a house-decorating contest will be held as usual. Fall games, which will be handled by the Union staff, will be held Saturday morning, October 27. The games, which will be held on south Ferry Field as usual, will con- sist of the usual three events, cane spree, tilting, and flag rush. In the first one, six individual contests are held in which each man tries to wrest an axe handle from his opponent. Games Include Tilting In the tilting, °picked teams are mounted on wooden horses and given gunny sacks full of straw. The object of the game is to knock one's oppo- nent from his horse. In the flag rush, freshmen are stationed around three greased poles. Sophomores may rush any or all of them in their attempts to get the flags. # In the election for the office of secretary-treasurer of the Council, Mary Sabin, '35, a member of Col- legiate Sorosis and president of Mor- tarboard, women's senior honorary society; received a unanimous vote. The matter of keeping the reading and periodical rooms of the library open Sundays was also discussed by the Council, but no action was taken as it was learned that the library had no money for that purpose. It was reported that library officials had de- clared, however, that should sufficient interest be aroused, it might be pos- sible to use the Angell Hall library as a study hall on Sundays. Statistics Show R.O.T.C. Increase An increase in the enrollment fig- ures of the R.O.T.C. over previous years was announced yesterday by the military science department.

She herself admits that she is torn between an ardent love for both forms of musical appearances. She says she is as eager for the opening of the "Met" each season as the freshman ready to enter high school for the first time, and yet she boards the train for her concert tours with a girlish prano says that she misses something which she enjoys so much in her con- cert work. It is what she terms "that privilege of gazing into the thousands of eyes before me, of recognizing now and then a face I remember having caught a glimpse of on the city streets, in a hotel lobby, or perhaps at a previous concert. The intimacy with which Miss Pon-J selle's music has always been associat- ed, she attributes to this relationship to her audience. This is perhaps why a leading music critic has said, "It
