In his "Press Angle" column Sunday morning, he charged that Alex Loko, who recently left school, and other gridders, had iade- quate food during the football season. By GEORGE J. ANDROS (Daily Sports Editor) The Daily has initiated a move to- ward Western Conference approval of a plan providing a training table for the Varsity football squad to the extent of one good meal a day dur- ing the season. This move has been made not as an alibi for three consecutive unsuccess- ful seasons. It has been made because it is firm- ly believed that its fulfillment would be of benefit to the players, the ma- jority of whom are working under conditions that are detrimental to their scholastic progress as well as their performance on the gridiron. Over 80 per cent of the members of the Varsity squad are forced to workJ for their board to stay in school. The average case is something like this: Forced To Hurry Football practice isover at 5:30 p.m. The player hurries through a shower and dressing and rushes to a board job that will probably mean standing on his feet for as long as anl hour-just after a strenuous practice. And the eating of what is the "big" meal of the day takes place in the same general rush. After this the man goes to his room to study-under pressure of a football practice physi- cally and mentally strenuous and a meal eaten under unfavorable con- ditions. Under the plan of one good meal a day-the evening meal after prac- I tice, the players would be assured ofI the type and amount of food neces- sary to an athlete, and the obviously detrimental "pressure" on the mant would be relieved. He could relax be- fore and during the meal. The bene-1 fits of properly prescribed food dot not have to be mentioned. Figures have been given out by1 Trainer Ray Roberts that prove that the football squad gained more weight than it lost during the pastt season. But weight is not the only prerequisite to good condition. t Food Quality Important Quality, variety and methods of preparation are as essential in food as quantity, according to Dr. George May's statements given below.t Weight can come only from quantity of food. For the best general con- dition an athlete needs the other essentials as well. Coach Harry Kipke, while declining to take a stand either for or against a training table, commented last night that "one.good meal a day on a training table would undoubtedly be a help to many of the boys." 1 Fielding H. Yost, director of ath- letics, was inclined to pass lightly over the controversy, saying that the training table situation had been' settled several times in the Confer- ence since the original abolishment in 1905. May Proposes Table Serving One 'Good' Meal A training table which served at least one "good" meal a day for foot- ball players was the proposal offered yesterday by Dr. George A. May, di- rector of the Waterman Gymnasium, to the question of giving the players enough to eat. Four important features of a good meal were enumerated by Dr. May. These are quantity, quality, variety and proper preparation. The absence of any one of these, he pointed out, would render a meal worthless to the eater.

Roosevelt the great- est mass welcome in their nation's history when he arrived today to open conferences by which 21 American republics hope to build a citadel of permanent peace in the new world. Argentine secret service men said the wild ovations which lasted far into the hot night exceeded even those accorded England's King Ed- ward VIII when, as Prince of Wales, he visited Buenos Aires in 1931. Spontaneous salvos of cheering and "V ivas!" rolled about the presiden- tial party for 15 minutes without in- terruption tonight when he drove to the Casa Rosada to pay a formal call oi Argentine's President Augustin Justo. Similar demonstrations earlier roared from the throngs which lined the route along which he rode in the afternoon after landing from the United States Cruiser Indianapolis. The exuberant Argentines shouted "Viva Democracy!" and "Viva Roose- velt!" until the United States and Argentine presidents appeared on a balcony. The two smiled and waved and shook hands in view of the crowd.! Before his call on the ArgentineI president, President Roosevelt con- ferred with Secretary of State Hull and Sumner Welles, assistant secre- tary of state, on the general program and objectives of the Inter-American Conference. WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-('P)-On the eve of President Roosevelt's ad- dress at Buenos Aires to the Inter- American Conference for Promotion of Peace and Trade, the State De- partment announced today the sign- ing of a reciprocal trade treaty with the eighth of the 21 nations attend- ing. The newest signatory is Costa Rica, whose agreement to extend reciprocal trade benefits brings to 15 the num- ber of countries with which such treaties have been arranged.

Loyal Spain's Delegates Talk Here Saturday ended its 28th annual meeting Satur- lay in New York City, it was revealed yesterday by members of thle Mich- igan delegation. gThe action is being taken as the result of a talk delivered at the conference by Prof. Robert P. Briggs of the economics department, frater- nity financial adviser, who told dele- gates what the tax would cost fra- ternities. Other Michigan represen- tatives at the meeting were Dean Jo- seph A. Bursley and George Cosper, '37, president of the Interfraternity, Council. Move Was Unexpected The new move was unexpected by the conference, which discussed the question in their routine business. As a result of Professor Briggs' informa- tion, the problem was turned over to the executive committee of the Coun- cil who will seek exemption from the act on the grounds that fraternities are non-profit, educational organiza- ions. Other subjects discussed at the con- ference were rushing systems, espe- cially deferred rushing, "dirty" rush- ing and how to reduce the length of the rushing period to a minimum and still adequately contact all the rushees. "Michigan fraternities seemed to be so far in advance of the other schools," Cosper said, "that we could learn little from them that we did not already know." Many Introduced Here Practically all of the innovations suggested by other delegates, such as interfraternity balls, interfraternity sings, pledge banquets and registra- tion of freshmen, have already been introduced here, he said. The delegates from the more than 100 universities and colleges which sent representatives listened to the ever, he said, and will commence broadcasting the first of the year twice a week for a tobacco company, which he termed a "somewhat more appropriate sponsor." Mr. Wooll-, cott spoke before nearly 3,200 per- sons Sunday night in Hill Auditorium under the auspices of the Oratorical X Association. Further evidence that he is not yet ready for the literary graveyard was his announcement that by spring he would have a volume in the bookshops with the theme: the brotherhood of the poodle. He explained that besides himself, Edna Ferber, President Hutchins of Chicago University, Booth Tarkington and Gertrude Stein were owners of poodles, and his book will deal with them and their owners. Before he returns from this mid- western trip he is supposed to have completed a foreword for "Moon- stone." Interviews, Bad Journalism "What? You haven't heard of it? Oh,. but that's to be understood. It has never had a wide circulation, but it's the first long detective story ever written and the best. He poured himself another cup of coffee and said he thought interviews were bad journalism.

His death early Monday, in Munising, brought an end to his long political career,I and his funeral at his home in Ionia tomorrow is expected to be one of the largest in the state's history. Overtaken While Hunting Former-Gov. Green, 64 years old, died of an illness which overtook him while he was engaged in the sport he loved best-and he loved many- hunting. He was taken sick Nov. 20, in a hunting camp, after shooting a large buck, with the gall bladder trouble that had pluaged him in recent years, and Dr. Haldor Barnes, his physician, said the exertion was too much for his heart to withstand. Mrs. Green and a daughter, Peggy, survive. The condolences and messages of I sympathy last night poured in, ex- I pressing regret at the death of the man who is supposed to have had more friends than any other person in Michigan. From leaders in all walks of life, Democrats and Republi- I cans, life-long enemies and life-long friends, they all told of their grief. The open door to the Executive Of- fices during his two terms as gov- ernor often admitted the sound of loud and bitter argument, but al- ways the governor's opponent would walk out smiling and would shake hands and say "Goodbye, Fred." And the governor's wide Theodore Roose- veltian grin would follow him out. Ruthven Offers Comment President Ruthven was one of those who joined in the state-wide tribute to the former-Governor. "The University of Michigan remembers him as an enterprising young man who worked his way to a law degree in 1898," the President said, "and, in carrying out the promise dis- played in his student days went on (Continued on Page 2) for a mutual assistance pact with England and Belgium. It was said the French alliance offer would be accepted with favor as compatible with the government's desire for defensive understandings to promote peace. PARIS, Nov. 30. - A ) - France, looking at a rearmed Germany on [ier border and at spreading Italian influence inathe Balkans beyond, to- dv sought a three-power alliance against the Fascist European bloc. Specifically France strove to line up with Great Britain in mutual as- sistance pacts if either should be attacked. In addition, the French plan was to extend the same offer to Belgium, traditional battleground of France and her enemies, informed sources said. As the alliance would be intended publicly as one between "democratic nations," foreign observers felt the United States might be urged at least to demonstrate sympathetic if not ac- tual adherence. Carrying out France's announced determination to build her defenses to meet attack from any quarter, the Superior Naval Council recommended increased naval construction over a period of years, "in principle," but made public no figures. Foreign Minister Yvonne Delbos, was expected to disclose details of his foreign policy in the Chamber of Dep- uties Dec. 4, after which Premier Leon Blum is to ask a vote of confidence for his steady resistance of commu- nist demands that France send arms to Spain. Premier Blum called a cabinet ses- sion tonight to debate national de- fense plans. The government will stake its life on its Spanish neutrality stand, in- formed .sources said, and will resign unless all units of the "popular front government" approved the non-inter- vention policy. Germany Violator Of Munitions Agreement GENEVA, Nov. 30.-(P)-League of Nations officials charged today Ger- many was trading in arms and muni- tions of war in open violation of the Treaty of Versailles. Germany sold munitions worth 10,- 340,000 Reichsmarks ($4,136,000) in 1935, the League reported, and bought arms of war to the value of 215,000 Reichsmarks ($86,000). Article 170 of the Treaty of Ver- sailles that ended the World War prohibited Germany from exporting and importing arms as war material. (Practically all of the major pro- visions of the Treaty of Versailles, ex- cept for the rearrangement of Euro- pean boundaries, have been consid- ered by Germany to be void.) League officials, listing the total known world trade in armaments as $43,600,000, pointed to Germany's report to the 1935 'edition of the "statistical year book on the trade in arms and ammunition" as evidence to support their charge. Heretofore, officials said, Germany accompanied her arms trade figures with a footnote describing them as "arms for sporting purposes." This year the footnote was omitted. Madrid Jeers Franco As Fascists Shell City MADRID, Nov. 30.-(P)-Fascist insurgents today shelled and bombed Madrid while the city's defense lead- ers jeered apparent inability of their foes to capture the Spanish capital. As Fascist shells whined across the Manzanares River into the heart of Madrid, insurgent infantry unleashed I a strong attack on Humera after cap- turing Pozuelo de Alarcon, about seven miles Northwest of Madrid. I Desire 'T Get Away From It' One Motive For Disappearing By ROBERT WEEKS Running away from school is an escape that may be motivated by one or several of a large number of fac- tors, according to Dr. Theophile Ra- phael, head of the Health Service mental health department, for it is a question almost as broad as dis- content itself. In a general way, he said, the basis for running away is that the present situation has seemed to become un- satisfactory, unpleasant, in fact un- bearable. A strong feeling of com- pulsion to get away from it is the result and this feeling is augmented often by the tendency to view the "qrrns a greener far away." he ex-; often does and should help greatly," he advised. Dr. Raphael pointed out that the particular situation a student may find himself in here in Ann Arbor need not necessarily be the most con- structive one, but if a change is ad- visable is should not be impulsive, headlong, explosive, which is what running away usually is. Instead he advised that it should be carefully and factually worked out, with use of counsel made as indicated. It should be emphasized that prob- lems may be thus worked out and that in running away, the flight may be from self which, of course, will follow right along the journey," he stated. He also explained that the I rvr~niso m ~ . r -n m -it - a l n [e YI Defiant Rabbit Causes Distress To R.O.T.C.
