ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1935 PRICE FIVE CENTS olverines Take Third Straight Victory Freshmen Vietorious In 'Games Sophomores Overwhelmed By Powerful Freshmen In Two Contests Sophomores Win In Pillow Fight Event Strange Customs And Lingering Memories Recall Old Library' Numerical Superiority Freshmen Wins Out Flag-PoleClimb Of In By GUY M. WHIPPLE, JR. The somewhat tenuous supremacy of the Class of 1939 over the Class of 1938, which was theoretically assert- ed on Black Thursday and Black Friday, was demonstrated in fact yes- terday afternoon at South Ferry Field. Approximately 70 freshmen met half that number of sophomores at the stipulated hour on the field of battle, won the cane spree, lost a close decision in the pillow fight, and then pushed the noses of the second-year men in the ground during the flag rush to emerge with a 2 to 1 victory. Gathering at 1:30 p.m. at Water- man Gymnasium and in front of the Union, the freshmen and sophomores marched down State Street a re- spectable distance apart with William R. Dixon, '36, president of the Men's Council and "head man" of the games, in the van of the yearlings. After a few moments' delay at the field, the two classes selected their eight representatives for the cane spree and launched an overture of cheers. The cane spree is a refined form of slow death in which an adherent of each class grasps an axe handle and attempts, by any and all means, to force his opponent to lose his grip. Most of the contests yesterday were7 closely fought, with the winner de- cided only after precious minutes of exertion in which the bulkier indi- vidual who habitually smoked fewer cigarettes eventually wore down his foe. After the last man had been divorced from the axe handle the freshmen were declared the winner, 5 to 3. Pillow Fights Waged Then the high wooden horses were trotted out to their positions for the pillow fight. A man from each class straddled opposite ends of the five inarticulate ponies (which had been heavily greased in the meantime) andt were handed sawdust-filled sacks with which to pummel one another.= There were two or three pretty warm fights waged, with one fresh- man gaining undying honors by re- covering his seat after slipping greas- ily from atop his horse to hang be- neath for two or three horrible mom-1 ments while his delighted sophomore opponent slammed him with his pil- low. With the flag-pole duly greased and the sophomore shirt clinging to the top, the sophomores met underneath, en masse, for a short rest and an op- portunity to eye speculatively the hungry, and numerous, freshmen waiting 40 yards away. They didn't have to wait long. On came the green-painted young men, 70 strong, to - well, enjoy a1 good old pogrom at the expense of the sophomores. It didn't take many minutes. The sophomores were quickly separated, flung to the ground, and either beaten up or held by ama- teur but effective holds while other freshmen wiped the grease from thel pole, climbed to the top, and brought down the emblem of victory. Abouta 4 minutes was the playing time. That handed the fall games to the freshmen, 2 to 1. It made the yearlings cocks-of-the walk - until the spring games. 1 President Begins f Navy Day Program WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-(p)-f President Roosevelt launches 1935e Navy Day observance tonight with anc assertion that "the unsettled condi- tion existing throughout the world, itf Men Students Were Seated Across From Women: Chimes FromEngland By I. S. SILVERMAN In the days when girls were co and men were bashful, convention dictated that the men students si on one side of the reading room o the "old library" and the women students on the other. However, toward the closing years of the "old library" this practice was discouraged. It was also violated when the library was crowded and at other times by bold individuals who slid close to the imaginary boundary line so that some naive damsel might sidle close to him, or vice versa. This was the case in the "old li- brary," the building which occupied the site of the present library before the new one was built. It was a Farmers Vote Upon Crucial Control Ballot Will Judge Advisability Of Continuing '35 Corn-Hog Adjustment Program WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.- (P) The New Deal's most far-flung agri- cultural control program underwent a ballot-box test today as farmers in 48 states voted in a cr.ucial corn-hog referendum. The question confronting the pro- ducers as they went to 2,000 polling places was this: "Do You favor a corn-hog adjust- ment program to follow the 1935 pro- gram which expires Nov. 30, 19359" The polls, which opened at 8 a.m., local time, closed at 10 p.m, and first results of the balloting are expected here by midnight. While expressing hope that a program would be ap- proved, AAA officials said there was serious doubt of the outcome. They believed the total vote would be larger than the 579,716 farmers who ballotted on a similar question in October, 1934. In that referendum, 389,139 voters approved a program, and 190,577 opposed. The referendum comes at a time when debate is intensifying over the AAA policy of crop control, with its system of benefit payments to farm- ers for adjusting production and acreage. Critics have charged regimenta- tion; have assailed so-called "scar- city" economics; and have called con- sumer attention to present high prices of pork. Defenders of the AAA have said the control program is a Demo- cratic process; that farmers must fit production to demand as long as in- dustry works that way; and that the present hog shortage is due to the drought. Al Stern Found Dead In House At Newark, .J. NEW YORK, Oct. 26. - (IP) - Al Stern, who police theorized might have been one of the slayers of Dutch Schultz and three of his mobsters, was found dead today. Chief Medical Examiner Harrison S. Martland said he had committed suicide. A necktie knotted tightly about his throat, Stern's body was found in a gas-filled room of a Newark rooming house. Stern's death complicated the in- vestigation by New York and New Jersey police. Women, police said they had learned, played a greater part in the background than was suspected at irst. Two women - Mrs. Frances Fleg- enheimer, common law wife of Schultz, whose real name was Arthur Flegenheimer, and a vaguely identi- fied "Mommy" described as possibly another Mrs. Schultz - were the only >nes so far linked with the case. In his dying delirium, Schultz called for "Helen," "Ethel," "Winifred" and curiously shaped structure with ap- -pendages jutting out on all sides. Dr 9 William W. Bishop, present librariar and first librarian of the new build- ing, likened the library to a Missis- sippi steamboat - the rotunda, the y prow; the towers, the smoke stacks; the book stacks, the rear paddles. t Two towers flanked both sides of f the building, one of which contained the clock and the famous chimes which were modeled after the re- nowned chimes at Jesus College in England. The old University clock was preserved and set in the new li- brary but there was no place for the chimes. At 7:27 a.m. and at 5:27 p.m. the chimerical song would melodiously ripple over the quiet of the campus bringing in the daylight and usher- ing it out again. The campus was different in the horse and buggy days of the "old library" and when the chimes would ring all would listen at- tentively and appreciatively to its melody. It was the one distinctive event in the waning hours when eve- ning cast its mantle of darkness over the campus and all activities were put aside. There was tradition, sen- timent, and reverence wound about the chimes. It was a sad day when the old tower fell, marking the end of the "reign of the chimes." They were put in one of the engineering buildings where they still sing their song but are heard by few students amid the confusion and noise now existing on the campus. The library was completely covered with ivy which gave a stately and (Continued on Page 2) Castle To Open Lecture Series Here Thursday Prominent Statesman Will Talk On 'Our Relations With Other Nations' The Hon. William R. Castle, one of the country's most able diplomats and a member of the State Department of the Federal government under four Administrations, will open the 1935- 36 Oratorical Lecture Series Thurs- day night at Hill Auditorium. Speaking on the subject "Our Re- lations With Other Nations," Castle will discuss two major phases of this general problem. He will consider first the economic relations of this country with other nations, including under this phase questions as to in- ternational money values and trade agreements. The second part of his lecture will be devoted to the relations of the United States with other countries in regard to world peace. Problems of arms limitations, treaties against war, the World Court and peace con- ferences will be considered in this phase. Castle will arrive in Ann Arbor Thursday morning, and has set aside part of the day for appointments with students who plan to go into the diplomatic service. He will also re- new acquaintances among the fac- ulty which were formed during the period when he was a member of the faculty at Harvard University. Castle first attained national prom- inence as a diplomat under the Hoov- er administration when, as acting secretary of state, he conducted a large share of the delicate negotia- tions which put into effect the one- year Hoover moratorium on war debts in July, 1931. As chief of the division of Western European affairs, Castle was sent to Tokyo by President Hoover to serve as temporary ambassador to Japan at the time of the five-power naval conference in 1930. Tickets for the lecture, priced at 75 and 50 cents, may be purchased at the Hill Auditorium box office from 10-12 in the morning and from 2-4 in theafternoon. Special season tick- et prices are now selling at $3.50-2.75 for the eight lectures scheduled on the Oratorical Course. TRYOUTS SHOULD REPORT All students who are interested in trying out for parts in the Gil- bert and Sullivan oneretta. "Rud- Wolverines To Be Feted At Station Varsity Band Will Lead March To Meet Train At 1:21 pm. Today Larger Crowd Than Last Week Expected Huge Pep Rally Planned For Friday Night; New Song Will Be Featured Coach Kipke's conquering lion hunters will be feted at 1:21 p.m. to- day when their train arrives at the Michigan Central station from New York. The Varsity Band, which will meet at Morris Hall at 12:50 p.m., will march down State Street to the sta-1 tion shortly before 1:10 p.m. Cheer- leaders will be present, and Head1 Cheerleader Robert Burns, '36, will. be1 on the train with the team. Urging students to try and outdo the demonstration last Sunday, when the gridders, victorious from Wis- consin, were greeted by more than 3,-t 000 persons, William Dixon, '36, pres-i ident of the Men's Council, predicted Smithers Going Over For First Touchdown -By Daily Staff Photographer. This picture shows Smithers crossing the goal line on his second try off right tackle. The Wolverines were put in scoring position by virtue of a Columbia fumble recovered by Patanelli. Invasion Thursday Night Only Disorder In Library's History Because "students have always taken excellent care of the Library," Dr. W. W. Bishop, Librarian of the University, pointed to the invasion of the upper reading room by freshmen and sophomores Thursday night as an "isolated but deplorable incident." More than a score of hooting, jeer- ing lowerclassmen tore into the Li- brary's sanctum to study and quiet, in search of victims. They threw the reading room into confusion, ac- cording to Library officials, and made study impossible. Dr. Bishop "regretted the affair" and believes the boys should be taken BAND TO MEET Members of the Varsity R.O.- T.C. Band will meet at 12:50 p.m. today in Morris Hall in prepara- tion for the march to the railroad station to welcome home the foot- ball team, George Hall, '36BAd., announced yesterday. The Band is expected to start down State Street at approximately 1:10 p.m. "a great welcoming for a great team. "We showed 'em last week that we really appreciate having a real foot- ball team," he said. "I think we'll have an even bigger crowd today." Dixon said he expected Kipke, Ren- ner, and Patanelli, who made some of the outstanding plays in yesterday's game, will speak. He urged that stu- dents march back to the campus be- hind the band after the welcoming demonstration. Dixon announced last night that an especially big rally will be held Friday night in Hill Auditorium. Coaches, players and several promi- nent alumni, including J. Fred Law- ton, '11, of Detroit, will speak. Law- ton has composed a new song, espe- cially for the Pennsylvania homecom- ing game. It will be sung at the pep meeting Friday, according to officials. Ticket office officials have already announced a large sale of seats for the Pennsylvania game, and all in- dications point to a large attendance. Fire Destroys I Frame Building of Local Firm A fire destroyed yesterday the frame warehouse of the Keyer-Whit- ker Co., wholesale grocers, located along the Ann Arbor Railroad tracks just south of Felch street. The fire started about 1:30 p.m. and caused damages estimated by Henry Whitker, a member of the firm, at $80,000. Nearby buildings of the Ann Arbor Construction Co. were not damaged, as the fire was con- fined to the single building. The warehouse, containing gro- ceries and staples, was full, but both the buiding and contents are fully covered by insurance, Mr. Whitker said. The fire appeared to have started in the upper portion of the building. A neighbor who saw smoke pouring from, the building, reported the fire. Sanctions Will Be Fought, Is Il Duce's Cry1 Fascism's Fourteenth Year Saluted By Mussolini In 'Warlike Style' ROME, Oct. 26. - (A) - Premier Benito Mussolini today denounced the League of Nations' program of sanctions against Italy and warned that the Italian people would fight against them. "Those who are ready to consum- mate against us the most odious of injustices will perceive that the Ital- ian people are capable of heroisms like those of the soldiers who avenged Aduwa with glory and carried civiliza- tion to the soil of Africa," he declared. Delivering his annual message to the Black Shirts in salute to the fourteenth year of fasism which op- ens next Sunday on the anniversary of the March on Rome, Il Duce con- tinued: Describes Epoch "This is an epoch in which one must feel the pride of living and of fighting. This is an epoch in which a people measures on a base of hostile forces its capacity of resistance and victory.w "Before an economic siege which history will brand as an absurd crime destined to augment disorder and distress among the nations, all Ital- ians worthy of that name will fight to organize the most intense defense, will distinguish between friends and enemies, and will long remember and transmit the memory and the lessons of the fathers to the sons and to the nephews. "You must be first in line in your duty and sacrifice. Populace Exhortedj "That is your sole privilege of which you must every instant be proud. I am certain that you will respond im- mediately to every appeal, raising to, the skies the cry of the old squadrons to which 44,000,000 Italians will re- spond: "To Our Aid." Thirteen years of fascism, Il Duce to task, but he called it the "first disorder in the 16 years the Library has been in existence." Friday night, however, Dr. Bishop took no chances and had two police- men on guard at the Library en- trances. Each student was permitted to go in or out, and the doors were closed carefully after them. There were few disturbances in front of the Library, and the "uprisings" of the freshmen and sophomores were quick- ly put down by the law when they got too near the doors. Dr. Bishop emphasized that the stu- dents have always taken "excellent care" of the building. "There is no public building that I know of where there has been so little cause for worry on that score," he said. "Every- one has taken an interest to aid us in protecting the Library and in keep- ing it running properly." The decorum of the library has been broken several times by indi- viduals making undue noise and they have been told to leave, he said, "but this is the first real disorder in 16 years." It was not known last night whether or not University officials were planning to investigate the in- dividuals concerned in the Library invasion or not. The disturbance was in violation of a strict University rule, officials pointed out. Expect Worley WillBe Named To Detroit Post Safety Advisory Position In War On Accidents Is Offered Appointment of Prof. John S. Wor- ley, of the transportation engineer- ing department, to the position of technical adviser on traffic problems in the city of Detroit is expected to be made tomorrow. This move on the part of Mayor Frank Couzens comes as an opening shot in the city's war to eliminate automobile accidents. Professor Worley has already at- tended a conference with the Mayor and Polic Commissioner on traffic problems, and has expressed the Uni- versity's willingness to aid in the solu- tion of Michigan problems. Although he himself probably could not devote all of his time to the study and con- trol of Detroit traffic, he would have several assistants. In speaking of the safety problem in Detroit, Professor Worley observed that, "It is my opinion that Detroit can do much to minimize traffic haz- ards. There is no complete cure. We have been trying for ages to cut down the hazards of living and have made much progress, but there is still some hazard, even in normal living in nor- rnal homes. "However, anything we can do to help save one life and to promote safety, we feel will be very much worth while, he stated. Oath Of Allegiance Asked Of Teachers PITTSBURGH, Oct. 26. - (IP) - Pennsylvania's teachers refusing to Columbia Is Handed 19-=7_Loss Two Touchdowns In Early Minutes Of Game Give Team Commanding Lead First Score Made After rThree Plays Renner Again Leads Attack With Passes; Patanelli Is Defensive Standout By WILLIAM R. REED (Sports Editor)- BAKER FIELD, New York, Oct. 26 - The New York debut of a Michi- gan football team proved successful today as the Wolverines bested the Lions of Columbia University, 19 to 7. Michigan took advantage of an ear- ly break on the kickoff to score its first touchdown, scored another less than five minutes later, and opened the last quater with its third touch- down. Columbia's lone score came in less than four minutes of the second half when Al Barabas, heart of the Lion grid machine, took the ball off right tackle from his own 26 yardstripe, cut back through the Michigan secondary from the side- lines, and raced for the touchdown. The first score of the game came when John Hudasky, Columbia half- back, fumbled an attempted lateral to Barabas on the opening kickoff, Patanelh recovering on the 13 yard line. From there a pass, Renner to Smithers, put the ball on the three yard marker, and Smithers scored from there on his second try off left tackle, Chris Everhardus scored the second touchdown on a 43 yard run- back of a punt after the Wolverines had been stopped in a touchdown try on the one foot line. Fails To Convert Conversion attempts by John Vier- gever after both touchdowns were blocked. With the score 12-0 in their favor, Michigan lapsed into the same shiftless play which marked the sec- ond half against Wisconsin. After Barabas had scored for the Lions in the second half, however, Michigan began to settle down to closer play, running the score to 19-7 when Ernie Johnson caught Renner's pass over the goal line, and Steve Remias con- verted. Beginning the game, Michigan ap- peared to be showing the same im- provement which has marked every start since the Michigan State tilt, with Chris Everhardus' running and the passing of Bill Renner driving consistently into scoring territory. Better blocking and tackling, which showed improvement with the need for more, was encouraging to the coaches despite the let-down which followed .the establishment of the lead. Lions Lack Consistecy Coumbia's vaunted attack proved effective but lacked consistency as the Lions were halted each time they reached the scoring zone. At the close of the first half the Lions marched from midfield to the one yard line, where they were stopped as the half ended, and in the last period the Coumbia team was halted after it had made a first down on the Michigan three. Barabas, mainstay of the Lions and hero of the Rose Bowl game with Stanford in 1934, was a thorn in the sides of the Wolverines all after- noon and threatened to break lose on several occasions. His 74-yard run was a marvelous effort to watch, although he was aided by some op- portune blocking on the part of his team mates McMahon and Westphal, who di- rected the final drive, rallied to the support of Barabas in the final period. Renner, with his ever-accurate aer- ial heaves, and Everhardus, still blessed with the uncanny trait of picking the right hole at the right time, were Michigan's outstanding offensive threats until Everhardus was removed from the game in favor of Ritchie. Hailed by several Eastern observers as the best they had set eyes on all season, Matt Patanelli defensively said, "have not passed in vein-theY Special Service For world of plutocratic and reactionary1 egoisims is obliged to recognize that."
