Hyde To Address Pep Meeting At 8 p.m. In Hill Auditorium Band, Glee Club Will Also Appear Mens' Council And Union Are Sponsors; Robert Burns Cheerleader Emory J. Hyde, National President of the Michigan Alumni Association, will speak at the first pep meeting of the year which will be held at 8 p.m. tonight in Hill Auditorium. It is probable that a member of the coach- ing staff and a former University football player will also speak, of- ficials in charge of the event stated. Reports forecasting inclement weather were responsible for the abandonment of plans to hold the gathering in Sleepy Hollow, as it was announced in The Daily yesterday. Numerous University musical or- ganizations will combine efforts to make the program of the pep rally successful. The Glee Club, under the direction of Prof. David Mattern, will appear on the program and will sing many of the different Michigan songs as well as assist in leading the mass sing. The full 'Varsity Football Band of 110 pieces will be making its first appearance under the baton of Prof. William D. Revelli, newly appointed band director and formerly of Ho- bart, Ind. The band will march RUSHING RULE RELAXED The executive committee of the' Interfraternity Council at a meeting held last night ruled that the regulation regarding rushing outside of fraternities after 6:30 p.m. would be relaxed for the pep meeting tonight; -, ---- It was stated that fraternity men would be allowed to escort rushees to the pep meeting at 8 p.m. but that such groups would have to break up at the beginning of the rally. from Morris Hall to Hill Auditorium and probably a short distance in the fraternity and rooming house dis- tricts. The pep meeting is being spon- sored by the Men's Council and the Union in order to usher in the 1935 football season and to create student interest in the Michigan State Game tomorrow. Robert Burns, '36, head cheerlead- er, will lead the yells at the meeting and help acquaint new students with the cheers and songs of the Uni- versity. Emory J. Hyde, formerly of New York City, was elected national presi- dent of all the alumni associations formed in all the different cities. A few months ago Mr. Hyde moved to Ann Arbor in order to devote his full time to his duties. He has been visiting the associations in each city and helping new alumni groups to become organized. In the words of a prominent alumni official, "he is the essential spiritual contact between Michigan men of the past and the present." The names of the other speakers for the program were not announced, and the exact length of the program was not forecast by officials. How- ever, the meeting will be compara- tively short and not last more than 45 minutes, they said. r If the meeting is attended by a large crowd and if officials in charge feel that the event is a success, it is very probable that such meetings will be held before each home game. Funds Are Given By Earhart Foundation A gift of funds by the Earhart Foundation has made possible the establishment and work of the Bu- reau of Industrial Relations, Bureau officials announced yesterday. The identity of the donor of these funds had not been disclosed previously. Mr. H. B. Earhart, as well as other leading industrialists, the announce- ment explains, felt that there was the greatest need at this time, and par- ticularly in the Mid-Western indus- trial area, for a scientific and impar- tial study of the various problems in- Books Deserted As Tigers And Cubs Swing Into Action Studies, sports, and other after- noon activities are being shoved in- discriminately into the discard these days as Ann Arbor's vicarious World Series rooters cluster anxiously about every available radio. The five new radios scattered about the Union have been broadcasting to large crowds, and there isn't a de- serted loudspeaker in any of the State Street emporiums while the game is on. Rushers and rushees are meeting on common ground around th radios in fraternity houses, while on the streets undergraduate heads can be seen jerking hungrily around as auto- mobiles with radios go by. Over in Ann Arbor High School, regular reports of the game's progress are despatched to the classrooms. University High School students are permitted to spend their library pe- riods listening to the baseball broad- cast in the auditorium. Charge Mather With Being In Soviet Employ Noted Harvard Geologist's Refusal To Take Loyalty Oath Brings Accusation CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 3. -(A') - Dr. Kirtley F. Mather, eminent Harvard geologist, who has an- nounced his determination not to take the teachers' oath, today was 'acused" by- -state representative Tho- mas Dorgan of being in the service of Russia. Professor Mather, a captain of en- gineers in the World War, asserted he failed to understand why an oath 2f allegiance should be required of him before he could instruct Harvard students in geology. "Many Americans who visit Rus- iia," said Dorgan, World.War veteran md author of the recently-enacted egislation, "are shown a false side )f the picture there. They return 'o this country and are used by the -.ussians for propaganda. "I believe that Professor Mather is ,eing used by the Russians. "I do not see," countered Professor Mather, "how I can possibly conform o a law which I believe violates my sonstitutional rights as a citizen and i teacher, and I believe many other nembers of the faculty will refuse to submit." In this belief, Professor Mather re- ceived early support, for a group of ;>rominent Harvard professors let it )ecome known they too would refuse :oconform to the teachers' oath bill, which makes it mandatory for every Massachusetts school and college teacher to swear allegiance to state and federal constitutions and which was opposed by many educators while pending in the legislature. Detroit Beats Cubs 8-3 To Even Series Greenberg Hits Homer As Teammates Bat Four Runs In FirstInning Cubs Get Only Six Hits Off Bridges Detroiters Miss Chances To Score Because Of Poor Base-Running By FRED BUESSER NAVIN FIELD, Detroit, Oct. 3. - (Special) -Loosing a heavy artil- lery barrage in the first inning on that usually crafty left hander, Char- ley Root, Detroit's battling Bengals, behind the six hit pitching of Tommy Bridges, today slugged out an 8-3 vic- tory to tie up the World Series with the Chicago Cub at one game each. The chilly blasts that swept across Navin Field following the hail storm this morning only increased the attendance figure over the opening game, and as the Tigers took the field in the first inning, the sun broke through the clouds for the first time. An exceptionally strong wind was blowing toward right field and all high flies were difficult to judge. The Tigers presented a different picture today as they played heads- up ball in the field. They appeared to have snapped the tension under which they played yesterday, and al- though they put on several very sad exhibitions of baserunning, they looked more like the Detroit club which climbed from the cellar to the American League championship dur- ing July and August than they have since they clinched the pennant earlier in September. Pound Root Charley Root, who Manager Grimm thought was a good bet to give the Cubs two in a row, started on the hill for the National Leaguers, but from the moment White, leading off for Detroit in the first, looped a single into left, it was apparent that the old maestro had nothing on the ball.' Manager Mickey Cochrane waited until he got one that he liked and then lashed a double downkthedright field foul line, scoring the first Tiger run of the series. Charley Gehringer proceeded to demonstrate. that Root was not improving wen he polled a long drive over the right field wall that was foul by several feet, and then slashed a single to center on which Cochrane scored standing up. Big Hank Greenberg strode to the plate and the Cub infield went into a huddle. Root's first pitch to Green- berg was a curve that the big boy missed completely, but a moment lat- er he picked out a shoulder high pitch and hoisted it far into the left field stands for a home run, scoring Geh- ringer ahead of him. Greenberg's drive might have been foul had it not been carried to the right by the strong wind. Henshaw Nervous Even Grimm was convinced at this point, and stubby Roy Henshaw, an- other left hander, replaced Root on' the mound for the Cubs. He looked nervous as he walked Goslin. Pete Fox caught hold of a fast ball for what looked like another base hit, but Billy Herman stabbed the ball and doubled Goslin off first. The Tigers were finally retired when Henshaw (Continued on Pae 6) Mussolini's Forces Cross Border, Start Colonial War In Ethiopia; League Planning Drastic Action I England And France Agree To Take Combined Steps Against Italy Would Sever All Economic Relations Reports Of Advance Into Ethiopia Confirmed By Italian Diplomats LONDON, Oct. 3. - (A') - The feared word "war" which enthus- iastic world statesmen once declared to be rendered obsolete, thundered across Europe and Africa tonight, as word went out from authoritative quarters that the British government is supporting the League of Nations to the utmost for quick action to re- strain Italy in its African ventures.1 Officials announced in Paris that Anthony Eden, British minister for League affairs, and Premier Pierre Laval had agreed to seek direct ac- tion with Italy. (It was stated they decided to ask the League to request its members to sever all economic and financial rela- tions with Italy, to provide arms, am- munitions and financial assistance to Ethiopia, and to halt all trade. Eden left for Pars en route toi Geneva, carrying the grim instruc- tions of the British cabinet to go the limit under the League banner in pursuit of peace, at almost the exact moment word came that Ethiopia had ordered mobilization and that1 Italians had bombed Aduwa from thel air. Officials at Whitehall sadly re- marked, "The dispute has now defi- nitely become war," as they heard first electrifying reports of hostilities, which were followed by a confused medley of charges, countercnarges, reports of atrocities, air bombings, advances, retreats, and casualties. The Italian advances were officially confirmed here and at Geneva and elsewhere by Italian diplomats, who said the moves were necessitated in the interests of self-defense. The outbreak of hostilities apparently) caught most of Europe's diplomats flatfooted, although coming almost; exactly as they predicted. PARIS, Oct. 3.- (A')- Great Britaini and France today agreed on a jointi program before the League of Nations which calls for the immediate sev- erance by League members of finan- cial and economic relations with Italy and possible financial help to Ethi- opia. The third of the three points of the agreement, French officials an- nounced, favors prohibition of pur- chase of Italian goods by League members or sale of goods to Mus- solini's nation, including war muni- tions and their transportation. Premier Pierre Laval, after an hour's conference with Anthony Eden, British minister of League of Na- tions' affairs, which preceded the agreement, stated: "Mr. Eden and I talked over the order of the day for the Council of the League. We have considered va- rious methods of procedure. We will continue in close collaboration in Geneva." Lift Arms Embargo for Haile Under the second provision of the accord, which hints at financial help to Emperor Haile Selassie for na- tional defense, is included also the lifting of the arms embargo against the African empire. Eden, it was authoritatively stated, disposed of the suggestion for the closing of the Suez canal - through which Italy's troops reach the zone of war - by reporting that the Brit- ish cabinet thought such an act too risky. Britain's request for French assist- ance if Italy attacks the British Med- iterranean fleet will receive the offi- cial sanction of the cabinet tomor- row, officials said. Laval promised Eden such a reply, officials continued, in return for the same guarantees from Britain in case France is attacked. Laval will leave after tomorrow's cabinet session for Geneva, where he will rejoin Eden. Laval To Answer Deputies Members of the chamber of dep- League Sanctions Are Certain To Be Applied, Says Preuss The curse of the League of Na- tions - the dreaded sanctions - is almost certain to be brought down on Italy, Prof. Lawrence Preuss of the political science department de- clared yesterday. "Now that Mussolini has openly attacked Ethiopia, there is a better chance than ever before of the sanc- tions being brought into play," he said. Professor Preuss feels quite sure that at least in the beginning the sanctions will be only economic, but both he and Prof. Jesse S. Reeves, chairman of the political science de- partment, agree that the Italo-Ithi- opian crisis is "gravely serious." Before the sanctions, which are provided for under article 16 of the Covenant of the League, can be brought into play, other action will have to be taken by the League, Pro- fessor Preuss explained. Under ar- ticle 15 of the Covenant, a commit- tee to which the arguments are sub- mitted, must make a report to the assembly on the situation. That re- port, now being drawn up, has not yet been made. If the nations unanimously consent to the report, they all agree not to go to war with any nation abiding by it, the professor stated. Should one nation fail to abide by it, article 16 obliges all other members of the League to invoke sanctions against that nation, he pointed out. But Mussolini will incur the wrath of article 16 anyway, Professor Preuss believes, because Il Duce did not even wait for the commission's report be- fore taking things in his own hands. The committee under article 12 has six months in which to make its re- port, and article 15 declares that any continuea on Page 6) President Ruthven Leaves For West Leaving for the west tonight, Pres- ident Ruthven plans to attend a meet- ing in Chicago and continue to Iowa for a visit with his father.

Officials State Department Acts To Insure Continued United States Neutrality WASHINGTON, Oct. 3. - (AP) - A proclamation for clamping an em-a bargo on munitions shipments to Italy and Ethiopia was drafted tentatively at the state department today as an+ extraordinary step toward -insuring continued American neutrality. + Only official confirmation that the undeclared war raging in Africa was an "outbreak of war" within the meaning of the new neutrality act was awaited by Secretary Cordell Hull before recommending to President Rogsevelt the issuance of the arms embargo directed by that statute. The Chief Executive, cruising on a warship in the Pacific, was kept in- formed of Italo-Ethiopian develop- ments by Hull. But the Secretary de- clined any comment on movements of Rome's modern legions beyond de- claring that the government was pre- pared, fully and adequately, for im- mediate action in any emergency. Beside the arms embargo, an offi- cial determination that "a state of war" exists also would authorize Mr. Roosevelt to issue a proclamation warning American citizens against traveling on vessels of either bellig- erent nation, except at their own risk. This would affect American travel only on Italian liners, since Ethiopia has no merchant marine. Although the neutrality act makes it mandatory on the President to pro- hibit exports to any original bellig- erent nation, he has discretionary power concerning imposition of an embargo on other nations which might be drawn into the conflict. Italians Plan To Forego Any Formal Declaration Of War;_Aduwa Bombed Full Mobilization Is Ordered By Selassie 1,700 Said To Have Been Killed And Wounded By Italian Bombardment (By The Associated Press) The war began in East Africa Thursday with Premier Mussolini's Italian army advancing into Ethi- opia to meet the fierce opposition of Haile Selassie's warriors. The war was undeclared, but un- mistakably war. The Italian govern- ment admitted that its army had crossed the border and reiterated its intention to carry out its "colonial program" without a formal declara- tion of war. League of Nations circles at Geneva said a state of war existed. Emperor Haile Selassie telegraphed a full report and protest to the League of Nations. He asserted that Red Cross hospitals full of sick and in- jured were the targets of Italian bombs and appealed to world opinion to condemn such tactics. Report 1,700 Casualties The Addis Ababa correspondent of the Exchange Telegraph Agency re- ported to London that 1,700 persons had been killed and wounded in the bombardment of Aduwa. At Rome, Italian officials denied that towns had been bombed. Fierce land fighting was reported under way near Aduwa. The Reuters correspondent said Italians were re- treating in..that section .under.cover of their airplanes. An Ethiopian announcement said that 100 houses at Adigrat and 15 at Aduwa, where Ethiopia crushed the Italians 40 years ago, were destroyed. Casualties were unknown, the an- nouncement said, but it was believed that the Italians occupied the entire town of Aduwa. Hand-to-hand conflict was re- ported in northern Tigre Province, the Ethiopian buffer against Eritrea. The government in Addis Ababa said the Ethiopian troops forced the retreat of Il Duce's troops. Italian airplanes were covering the retreat. ADDIS ABABA, Oct. 3. - () - The Italian government announced in- vading Italian fliers bombed historic Aduwa today, killing women and chil- dren, signallizing the start of a long- awaited war. A general mobilization order called Ethiopia's warriors to the colors. Al- though it was reported in official circles, the Italian minister had been' given his passports, they were with- held pending the arrival of Italian consuls from the provinces. A special train to carry the diplo- mat from the country tomorrow was cancelled but officials said "we may give the passports at any time." The Emperor's imperial guard was thrown about the Italian legation to safe- guard it. Defense Pleas For Nellie Muench End MEXICO, Mo., Oct. 3. --(P) - De- nial by Nellie Tipton Muench, form- er St. Louis society matron, that she "fingered" a 1931 kidnaping, reached a climax today as the defense, in a surprise move, rested its cse. Mrs. Muench, her bright red hair contrasting with the wan paleness of her face, sobbed loudly in court as she denied planning the abduction of Dr. Isaac D .Kelley, wealthy and so- cially prominent St. Louis physician. The tiny county seat courtroom was packed with curious but quiet women, as Mrs. Muench told a jury of farmers that "I am not guilty," but overlooked claiming as her own a son whose birth she announced six weeks ago. The oversight, whether deliberate or by accident, came in the face of court action in St. Louis County, wherein a Pennsylvania servant girl, Anna Ware, claimed as her illegiti- mate son the baby whose birth was James Stephen's Irish Verse Is Held To Be Akin To Music Rally Recalls Flaming Spirit Of Michigan's 'Good Old Days' By MARSHALL D. SHULMAN "A bent little figure... with a long head and a face like a faun's.. . He was utterly without self conscious pose, 'solemnity, inhibitions, suppres- sions, or affections. Never have I seen a man who impressed me as being so easy, free and natural, so untamed by society, so untouched by convention, so spontaneous, pagan and joyous ..." Quite human, despite this lyric eulogy by Burton Rascoe, is the famous novelist and poet, James Stephens, who is being brought to the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre Tuesday evening by the Hopwood Committee. Now hailed as one of the foremost literary figures of the twentieth cen- tury, and next to William Butler Yeats, as Ireland's greatest author, James Stephens first began his im- aginative writings with an indelible pencil in his stenographic notebook outing into the hills, that Stephens idly picked up a volume of Brown- ing, and was disappointed to find it was poetry. Turning the pages care- lessly, he found his attention caught, his emotions stirred, and the desire arose within him to do - and to do better - what Browning had done. The spark was kindled, the fire burst into flames. He aspires to give Ireland some- thing corresponding to the Arabian Nights-'"a new mythology to take the place of the threadbare mytholo- gy of Greece and Rome." "Deirde," one of the books in a series on the bardic tales of Old Ireland, was awarded the Tailltean Gold Medal, and his most famous novel, "The Crock of Gold," a unique work com- bining fantasy, realism, and satire, won for him the coveted Polignac Prize. Stephens is an ardent Nationalist, and he worked hard for the estab- By FRED WARNER NEAL Back in the good old days when they talked about pep meetings, that was really what they meant. They're going to hold one of those pep meet- ings tonight in Hill Auditorium, but it will have to be plenty peppy to come anywheres near the ones back in the early 1900's, when the boys and girls went without their suppers in order to jam the old University Hall and yell their heads off for Old Man Yost's famous point a minute teams. In those days, relate the oldtimers on the campus - T. Hawley Tapping, Alumni Association general secretary; Regent Junius E. Beal, Professor- Emeritus Allen Whitney, Prof. Thomas C. Trueblood of the speech department and the Old Man him- self -they used to put the boys on the first floor and the girls on the second. They used to peel off their coats and really go to work. reminsced Tap. "But from no spirit of meanness. It was genuine enthusi- asm." The old "U. of M., Rah! Rah!" was the principle yell before Professor Trueblood in 1906 caused a new era in pep meetings by inventing the famous "locomotive" cheer while re- turning on the train to Ann Arbor from a football game in Columbus, 0. And how they used to let loose! The exact date of the first pep meeting is lost in the ancient past: Professor Whitney, who was chair- man of the board in control of ath- letics when said good old days were at their peak, believes the first one was around 1901 or 1902, when the Old Man first began to be known as "Hurry Up" Yost. They started out slowly at first, but it was not long before everybody took them up. The Old Man, it seems, used to be rather modest when he was coach and never wanted to go. But he did and
