Personally Delver
Pig He Lost In Bet
IOWA CITY, Ia., Nov. 9. - ( ) -
The governor of Iowa is going to de-
liver personally the pig he lost to the
governor of Minnesota on the Iowa-
Minnesota football game today.
He said he is going to drive a truck
bearing the pig to St. Paul and herd
the pig "right into Gov. Floyd B.
Olsen's state house office."
"That's what I'm going to do," Gov.
Clyde L. Herring tonight declared,
after he lost his best with Governor
Olson because Minnesota's football
team defeated Iowa, 13 to 6.
"I'm going to take the pig to St.
Paul in a truck and personally herd
it into Olson's office. I hope his car-
pet wears well. The pig will be named
either 'Floyd' or 'Floydina,' depend-
ing on the sex."

'Modern' Slang
3e
By RICHARD G. HERSHEY
The underworld, the sports world
and the newspaper world all hav
expressions and a "lingo" that is pe
culiar to them. So it is in the colleg
world.
Upon entering the University ever
g freshman soon comes in contact wit]
words with a connotation that is onl;
known by other Michigan students
n In fact, one of the ways to tell a nev
c. student is by how well he can use th
student slang to express himself.
In the spring and fall semester
of 1895 Prof. Fred Newton Scott o
to the English department asked hi
to students in one of the rhetoric course
n- usually taken during the second o
ht third year (this was probably a fore-
of runner of the now required English
1) to collect all the slang expression
n heard in the student community o0

CHICAGO, Nov. 9. - (A') - A crowd
which included hundreds of his con-
verts paid final tribute today to the
Rev. William A. "Billy" Sunday, at fu-
neral services at the Moody Memorial
church for the famous "sawdust trail"
evangelist. Interment was in Forest
Home Cemetery.
Dr. John Timothy Stone, former
minister of the fashionable First
Presbyterian Church and now pres-
ident of the Chicago Theological
Seminary, said in a brief tribute:
"This cannot be a day of mourning,
but day of coronation and welcome to,
many who knew him on the other
side. Few will be welcomed there
more than he.
"There has been no greater soul
among American citizens or men.
,S About 600 different expression
were handed in during the spring se
rmester and in the fal part of tie
school year about 200 more wer
added. A list of them was compile
by Professor Scott and he put them
into a "descriptive" classification.
e Out of this list many of the slang
- expressions used by students toda

pressions used then are now in com
y mon usage. They vary much in th
h degree of "slanginess" and some ar
y comical and others merely comica
in their origin, as the report attempt

r Some other expressions meaning tc
waste time or to putter around were:
"frod," used as "You've frodded
s around long enough"; another was
r "june around," which was used in
the sense "I've been juning around
all day, and haven't done a thing."
There is a great deal of variety in
expressions denoting inebriation in
usuage today. A list compiled by
students included: "plastered," "pret-
ty-well-oiled," "tight," "pickeled,"
"full," "pie-eyed," "high," "boiled,"
"stewed," "cackled," "canned," "hap-

and "corked." The words are not en-

Discussion Of
Peace Problem
A meeting on the subject, of World
Peace and the problems involved is to
be held Armistice ,Day, tomorrow, at
the First Congregational Curch under
the auspices of several religious and
liberal organizations of students.
Prof. Bennett Weaver of the English
department, Prof. I. L. Sharfman of
the department of economics, Men-
non Williams, '36L, and Winifred
Bell, chairman of the Judiciary Coun-
cil of the League, are scheduled to
speak.
The declaration of various churches
and synagogues in America as to their
stand on war is to be distributed to
those who attend the meetings. These
statements, the topics of interest ad-
vanced by the churches, the Chris-
tian Association and the Hillel Foun-
dation, as well as the economic and
national security phases of this sub-
ject will be considered.
Announcement of a permanent or-
ganization, called "the University
Peace Council," which is hoped to be
formed out of the meeting tomor-
row, was made by Margaret Norton,
chairman of the central committee,
Miss Norton said it was hoped that
during the year the groups will make
a serious study of issues such as "the
armaments inquiry," "the present war
in Ethiopia," "strained relations be-
between Japan and Russia," "activ-
ities of the League of Nations," "eco-
nomic causes" and "military training."

The Don Cossack Russian chorus
consisting of 36 expatriated officers
of the former Imperial Russian Army
under the leadership of Serge Jaroff
will return to Ann Arbor for thei
third concert at 8:15 p.m. tomorrow
in Hill Auditorium.
Known as the "Horsemen of the
Steppes," the chorus banded together
when they were taken prisoners in
the south of Russia during the revol-
ution. Without instruments or music
of any kind they attempted to pass
away the hours in singing. After the
war, they could not go back to Russia,
but remained together and achieved
prominence in Europe. Through the
efforts of the late Dr. Albert Stanley
of the music school they were brought
to America and have made five very
successful tours of this country. Since
they are "men without a country," it
is only through the Nansen passports
issued by the League of Nations that
they can tour America.
Their program for tomorrow night's
concert includes "Credo" by Cretch-
aninoff, "Praised be Thou, O Lord,"
by Tchaikovsky, "We Sing To Thee"
by Kastalsky, "Funderal Song" by
Tschesnokoff, "Who Can Equal
Thee?" by Bortniansky, "History in
Song of Serge Jaroff and his Don
Cossack Chorus" by Schvedoff, "Ter-
ek and Kuban Cossack Songs" ar-
ranged by Mr. Jaroff, "The Volga

Nishtchinsky, "Song of the Indian

Rimsky-Korsakoff. "From 'The In-

"An Old Polka" arranged by Dobrow-
en, "Lezginka" by Schvedoff, and
"Two Don Cossack Songs," arranged
by Mr. Jaroff.I
After the close of the formal con-
cert, it is expected that they will
again perform in certain musical
dances which have characteriszed
many of their programs.

First Important
Attack On Italy
Is Under Way
Selassie Planning To Cut
Off Italians From Rear,
Report Indicates
ADDIS ABABA, Nov. 9.- (IP) - The
first important aggressive movement1
by Ethiopian troops since the Italian
invasion was reported tonight.
Ethiopian troops were stated to
have attempted enveloping operations
on the western end of the northern1
front, planning to invade Eritrea '
through the Walkali District of3
Northern Ethiopia.
Emperor Haile Selassie, authorita-
tive quarters said, has ordered Ded-
jazmatch Ayelu, Ethiopian comman-
der in that area, to cut behind the
Italian army, which is now estab-
lished at Makale and is 'pointed1
southward. .
An airplane, believed to be Italian,r
flying high, was sighted passing overz
the city at noon.9
As thousands of black warriorse
streamed into the section of southern
Tigre Province which is still held by
the Ethiopians, authorities reported
that there was severe congestion,
making it difficult to provide food,
clothing and shelter for the troops.
In the area south of the northern
front, the gathering of troops, it wask
feared, might endanger tactical re-I
treats and other movements.
The Emperor is expected to haveI
more than half a million well-armed
fighters ready to face the Italianp
soldiers by Nov. 20.
Ras Seyoum and Ras Kassa, north-
ern commanders have informed thet
Negus that they have plenty of sol-
diers, but the movement of troopsy
from the interior continued. Every
man, they said, is a "born soldier,"
but they did need more guns andv
ammunition.
The Emperor has sent some of hist
ferocious Danakil tribesmen into the
southeastern section of Aussa Prov-
ince, believing that the Italian north-
ern armies are headed for the Addis
Ababa-Djibouti Railway line in thatf
sector.c
The Danakils, said to have slain
mahy Italian supply forces in night
movements, were ordered to with-
stand invasion of the province at anyv
cost,

Field Goal Late In Second
Period Proves Handicap
Team Cannot Overcome
Battle Is Waged
Over Field Of Mud
Statistics Show Wolverine
Eleven Was Outclassed
In EveryDepartment
By WILLIAM R. REED
MEMORIAL STADIUM, Urbana,
Ill, Nov. 9. -A fighting Illinois foot-
ball team overwhelmed Michigan in
every respect but scoring this after-
noon as it trimmed the Wolverines 3
to 0 on a field transformedinto one
great mud puddle by an all-day rain
which fell throughout the game.
The only score of the game came
late in the second quarter when Low-
ell Spurgeon, Coach Bob Zuppke's
sophomore backfield flash, place-
kicked a beautiful field goal into a
hard wind from the 31 yard line.
Statistics tell the story of the game,
as they show Michigan hopelessly
outclassed in every department, and
they reflect the play of a fighting,
charging Illinois line which worked
in front of an Illinois backfield dis-
playing a perfectly executed running
attack despite the condition of the
field.
Playing without four regulars, Sayre,
Theodore, Lindberg and Nelson, the
Indians abandoned their vaunted
aerial attack and unleashed a run-
ning game built about Wib Henry
which went through the Wolverines
for a net gain from scrimmage of 247
yards and 11 first downs.
Michigan On Defensive
Michigan was put on the defensive
on the opening series of plays after
Ernie Johnson's kickoff was returned
to the Illinois' 38, from where a run-
ning play and a 15-yard penalty for
roughness put the ball on Michigan's
43. Behind a great screen of block-
ers Spurgeon then took the ball to the
19 on a wide end sweep, but three in-
complete passes and a fumble put
the ball back on the 27.
The Wolverines failed to take the
ball outside their own territory on
offense during the game, reaching as
far as their own 43 but once. That
once came immediately after the
kick-off in the second half when
Ritchie ran to the 43 but fumbled,
the ball being recovered by George
Frederick, reserve Indian center.
Michigan had received a bad break,
however, at the opening of the second
period when Sweet kicked with the
wind from his own 25 to the goal line,
the ball stopping dead on the line for
a touch-back and eliminating a 75
yard gain which would have put the
Indians in a hole.
Taking the ball on their 20, Illinois
worked the ball out to the 41 on a
quarterback sneak by Henry, and af-
ter an exchange of kicks, two passes,
Henry to Wright and Spurgeon to
Henry took the ball to the Michigan
20. It was from there after plays
including two incomplete passes had
failed to gain that Spurgeon scored
on a field goal
Illini Gain 3-Yard Line
The biggest threat for a touchdown
was made by the Indians in the
middle of the third period when a
series of runs by Henry and a pass,
Henry to Cantwell combined to take
the ball to the Michigan 3. An off-
side penalty and Henry's fumble re-
covered by Schuman gave Michigan
the ball on their 11, there, however.
Wib Henry was easily the outstand-
ing individual star of the game as he
made repeated gains on reverses and
sweeps, a running attack which the
Illini showed for the first time. The
most brilliant play of the game, how-
ever, was turned in by the Indian
line, which furnished a screen of hard
blockers on offense and which smoth-
ered the"Michigan offense for a net
gain of 10 yards on defense.
Michigan failed to take smart ad-
vantage of a strong wind when it had
the ball, consistently punting on the
third down. Sweet averaged 38.4
yards on his boots, while Bob Wright,
transformed from an end to a back
for his kicking prowess, had an aver-
age of 39.4 yards.
