Homecoming week-end begins at
8 p.m. today in Hill Auditorium with
a pep meeting featuring a talk by
Coach Harry Kipke and music by
the Varsity Band.
Tonight's rally will be less thanf
45 minutes long and will serve to
add a little fuel to the already roar-
ing spirit set off last Saturday by
Michigan's victory over Columbia, ac-
cording to Miller Sherwood, '37, pres-
ident of the Men's Council.
Singing and cheering will be in-
cluded on the program; however no
song sheets will be distributed among
the audience, Sherwood said.
Fraternity house decorations will
contribute to the Homecoming atmo-
sphere since the houses will again
compete for the Goldman Brothers
Cup awarded the fraternity having
the best decorations in the opinion of
the judges, Sherwood said.
Judging will be done between 11
a.m. and 12 noon tomorrow by the
judging committee whose members
are: Prof. Ralph W. Hammett, of the
architecture college, Prof. Lewis C.
Vandervelde, of the history depart-
ment. and Sherwood.
This contest has been an annual
competition run in connection with
Homecoming for a number of years,
Sherwood said. Last year's winner
was Sigma Chi fraternitywhich won

in stocks erected in front of their
house for the Pennsylvania game.

Gives Roosevelt Victory;

By EARL R. GILMAN
All the razzle-dazzle and deceptive
formations performed Saturday in
Michigan's Stadium will not be pro-
duced by the Illini or the Wolverine
football squads alone.
For a return engagement has been
scheduled for the bands representing'
the University of Illinois and the Uni-
versity of Michigan. Last year the
battle of the two bands was hampered
and almost postponed by the reign
of Jupiter Pluvius. This year the
battle is hoped to be one to the
finish.
Thus tomorrow's football enthu-
siasts, about 50,000 in number will be
treated to the sight of probably the
two best college bands in the country
battling it out with no instruments
barred.

Each band will have six minutes be-
fore the game and six and a half
minutes between halves. Illinois'
plans are rather dark as yet, although
it has been reported by their pub-
licity manager that a "fast-breaking
attack" will be utilized.
Michigan Band Director William D.
Revelli, serving his second year in
that capacity, declared yesterday that
his men will start out slowly feeling
Dut their adversaries. Their pre-game
program will feature the Varsity ar-
rangement that seemed so effective in
the Indiana game. This number is
being repeated because of the many
requests received from Alumni who
heard about it and desire to see it
when they return to their Alma
Mater for Homecoming.
Three novel and very unusual ideas
will carry the brunt of the Michigan
attack between halves. These are
being jealously kept secret-practice
is being conducted behind locked
doors.
Illinois' power is well known. No
less an authority than the late John
Philip Sousa attested to that fact.
Sousa left all his musical effects
to the University of Illinois and these
now occupy a prominent place in the
school's library. Moreover, A. A.
Harding has led the band's board of
strategy for the past years since 1905.
Mark Hind sley, his second- in- com-
mand will have charge of the attack
Saturday.
May the best band win.

Goudsmit Declares
Einstein's Recent
Work Meaningless
"No real physicist ever bothers to
read the more recent works of Ein-
stein," said Prof. S. A. Goudsmit in a
talk on "Modern Physics" before the
American Institute of Electrical En-
gineers of the University last night.
Declaring that present day physics
is primarily laboratory research de-
voted to "getting data and yet more
data," he emphasized the fact that
mathematical maneuvers such asi
writing physical equations in beauti-
ful but quite meaningless forms are
not at present the concern of physi-
cists.
In the course of his talk he spoke
briefly of the "ancient" physics be-
fore 1905, the "classical" physics of
1905-1925 and then discussed modern
theories. Starting with what he
called the "naive" picture of the atom
put forward by Bohr (a model that
could be made up of a lot of ping-
pong balls purchased at the five and
ten), Professor Goudsmit told how
experiments carried on at the Bell
Telephone laboratories showed that
an electron, far from being a ping-
pong ball, often had the properties
of a light wave.
The debate, ping-pong ball or light
wage, which raged for some years,
he said, was finally ended when it was
decided that electrons were neither.
Modern nuclear physics, Professor
Goudsmit declared, has grown up
from radio-activity, a field largely
left to medical men until recent years.
""Now, however," lie continued,
'physicists all over the world are con-
cerned with radio-activity and are
going after data on these phenomena
with highvoltage vacuum tubes, cy-
clotrons and similar apparatus.

Paris Hears Of
Loyalist Army
Insurgent Lines

'Secret'
Outside

British government leaders fast
night in the reassembled House of
Commons briskly defended the inter-
national "hands-off Spain" agree-
ment.
Meanwhile in Spain, according to
authoritative Spanish socialist sources
in Paris, the Madrid government has
concentrated a secret army equipped
with tanks and warplanes for a rear
attack on the fascists besieging the
capital.
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin,
told the British legislators the British
government felt "some breaches" of
the non-intervention agreement had
occurred.
"But they have not been anything
near of sufficient importance to cause
us to modify our policy in regard
to non-intervention," he said.
* That policy, Foreign Secretary An-
thony Eden earlier told the legisla-
tors, was aimed "not to help one side
or the other, but to prevent the
civil war-savage in itself-from
passing the boundaries of Spain and
involving the whole of Europe."
Arthur Greenwood, one of the lead-
ing Laborites, charged that the Span-
ish revolt was "a carefully-engineered
conspiracy, originated outside Spain
and aided and abetted by powers
outside of Spain."
The Spanish Government's secret
army, Spanish socialists in Paris de-
clared, is equipped with more than
110 modern tanks and many newl
bombing and scouting planes.
Some of the planes, the Spanish in-
formants declared, were made in the
United States and routed indirectly
to the Spanish socialist troops.

S.C.A. To Help
The support o fthe Student Chris-
tian Association for the men's dormi-
tories project was definitely assured
by the action taken last night at a
general meeting of the association's
membership. Previously, Richard
Clark, '37, president, had tentatively
pledged the support of the organiza-
tion on the basis of unofficial dis-
cussions with the members.'
A unanimous vote was given by the
S.C.A. to back the drive launched
early this week by the Committee on
Men's Dormitories, composed of rep-
resentatives of the leading organiza-
tions on the campus.
"We are in complete sympathy with
the project," Clark said, "and we
shall be glad to cooperate with the
movement in every way possible. The
Student Christian Association recog-
nizes the great need for men's dormi-
tories on the campus and it will sup-
port the activities to be included in
the project 100 per cent."

each received one ballot from the
group and Browder none.
A heavy Landon vote from the en-
gineering college enabled the Re-
publican candidate to cut into the
President's lead. Roosevelt continued
to be the favorite in the literary col-
lege where all but a few of the
Thomas and Browder votes were cast.
The vote was close in a few de-
partments in the literary college, but
most of them gave Roosevelt a wide
edge. Two departments did not cast
a single vote for Landon.
Voting in the other schools and
colleges was fairly well divided. More
votes are still to come from the law
school and the literary college, and a
few from the engineering college.
Faculty members will have their
last chance to cast a vote in the poll'
today. Final results will be an-
nounced in tomorrow's Daily.

Theatre Is Not .Dying, Skini
Says, As 'War Paint' Comes

By SAUL ROBERT KLEIMAN
"I don't feel as many people do;
today that the theatre is dying. It
has been a chronic belief since the
days of Euripides that the theatre
is dying."t
That was the belief expressed lastj
night by Cornelia Otis Skinner as she
took off what she called her "war
paint" in her dressing room after
presenting a program of original mod-
ern monologues to an audience of,
4,000 in Hill Auditorium.
Miss Skinner, who in private life;
is Mrs. Alden Blodgett, played eight;

given as an encore, according to her

A deafening, elevn-minute recep-

his last personal effort to win New

Many times Landon sought to begin
his address before the stamping,

heard some hissing and booing from
crowded sidewalks.
