University Guards Battle
100 Halloween Playboys
'Construction' Workers Foiled in Attempt
To Throw 'Blocks' into Engineering Arch
Resolutely standing by their fire hoses, undismayed by a counter-
rain of mud, four redoubtable University guardians repulsed a red-
blooded band of 100 "Halloween" pranksters who attempted to seal up
the Engineering Arch with cinder blocks early yesterday morning.
The attempted addition to the University's multi-million dollar
building program then turned into a running battle between the
would-be-construction. workers and the vigilant forces of law and
order, according to reports reaching The Daily.
"Construction" workers, who had already lost one of their
number to local police after an earlier raid failed, managed to

did it convincingly, whipping a tough Illinois eleven 14-7, after.
spotting the Fighting Illini all the breaks in a bruising see-saw battle
before 71,119 homecoming fans at Memorial Stadium this afternoon.
With two lightening-like scoring thrusts, they did their offensive
duty for the day, and then turned in a brilliant second half defensively
to move a step closer to a Rose Bowl bid.

French Pianist
Star of Choral
Union Concert
Daniel Ericourt, French pianist,
will be the featured artist in the
third concert of the regular Chor-
al Union series to be presented at
8:30 p.m. Tuesday in Hill Audi-
torium.
Most widely known for his De-
bussy renditions, Ericourt knew
the composer well in Paris, and
appeared with him in concert. He
is also a celebrated exponent of
the works of Prokofieff, Stravinsky
and others of his colleagues.
Born in Jossigny, France, Eri-
court received his musical educa-
tion at the Paris Conservatoire,
and later appeared many times in
London, Paris, Berlin and other
European capitals.
Since his American debut in
1937, he has enjoyed success as
soloist with the New York Phil-
harmonic, and the Symphony Or-
chestras of Cincinnati, Cleveland,
Detroit and San Francisco. Eri-
court has also built up an impres-
sive following in South America,
having given over 150 concerts in
different Latin American cities.
The program Tuesday will in-
clude Sonata in C major, Mozart;
Four Songs Without Words, Men-
delssohn; Novelette, Op. 21, No.
8, Schumann; Sonata No. 3, Pro-
kofieff.
NSA Conference Gives
Approval to Constitution
Twelve schools of the Michigan
NSA Conference ratified the NSA
regional constitution late last
night in Detroit, according to Nor-
ris Domangue, 'U' delegate to the
meeting.
The group plans action on en-
couraging foreign student enroll-
ment and revitalization of campus
student government, Domangue
said.

blocks before they were driven
off. Wet and besmeared, they
spotted a scout car parked up
by West Medical.
"Let's go talk to the cops,"
someone suggested. The group
started up the street.
"Go get 'em, go get 'em," en-
couraged the guards from their
battlements.
When the police saw the mob
approaching, they slammed the
cruiser into gear and dashed
through the crowd, scattering ev-
erybody. After a loud volley of ver-
bal abuse by the surprised "lab-
orers," the police backed up, pull-
ed on the brake and got out.
"You guys looking for troub-
le?"
"No, officer, we're just on our
way home."
"I'll give you exactly two min-
utes to get out of here," the offi-
cer retorted. "If I find any of you
on the streets after two minutes,
I'll run you in for loitering. Get
going!"
He looked at his watch. So did
all within hearing.
Nobody moved after twominutes.
So the policemen, singled out a
man from the group and put him
into the car. An attempt was made
to pacify the officers.
"I don't want to act wise, of-
ficer, but are you really going to
put this man in jail?"
"Do you want to go with
him?"
Nobody did. Then the "labor-
ers" tried compromise; if the po-
lice would let the man loose, they
suggested, they would break it up
and go home. After some delibera-
tion, during which the officers dis-
cussed whether or not a "charged"
man might be let free, they let
him go, and everyone went home.
Ironic enough is a statement
made by the police Friday, when
asked if they expected trouble
from the campus on Halloween:
"They've never given us much
trouble in the past," one said. "I
think they're just too grown up
for that sort of thing."

A VC Checks
Food Facilities
For Students
Surveys Cost, Quality
In Local Restaurants
The second phase in AVC's sur-
vey of student eating facilities
gets under-way tomorrow when a
crew of interviewers will sample
student opinion on Ann Arbor's
food-the how good and the how
costly of eating in town.
Part one of the investigation,
just completed, looked into the
matter of eating from the man-
agement's point of view. Owners
were questioned as to food and la-
bor costs, and facilities for hand-
ling diners.
When the second phase is com-
pleted, and the results interpreted,
AVC will make a series of reconl-
mendations for easing overtaxed
facilities and high food prices.
Tentative plans call, too, for the
publishing of a guide to eating in
Ann Arbor. It will include inform-
aion on food quality, prices and
accommodations.
(A preliminary recommenda-
tion called on restaurants to offer
meal tickets at reduced costs to
students. The State Cafeteria and
Chandan's Cottage Inn have al-
ready complied. Meal tickets
worth $5.00 are available at both
establishments for $5.00.)
A special committee, headed by
Andrew Warhola, will use samp-
ling methods similar to those of
the Survey Research Center in
carrying out the probe.
A questionnaire, drawn up af-
ter consultation with Charles F.
Cannell and Roe Goodman of the
Center, will be employed by the
interviewers.
The questionnaire will seek in-
formation on the cost of eating,
and favorite eating places. Opin-
ions on cooperative dining halls
and suggestions for improving
quality, quantity, service, at re-
duced costs, will be asked as well.
Five hundred students will be in-
terviewed.

It was Bump Elliott of Bloom-
ington, Ill., who spread gloom
over his home state. Late in the
first quarter he took a Dike Ed-
dleman punt on his own 26-yard
line near the west sideline. Gene
Derricotte swept over from the
other safety spot, threw a block
and the "Bumper" was off to the
races. Bob Mann and Dick Ri-
fenburg helped with key blocks
and Elliott hugged the sidelines
outrunning everyone. Jim Bries-
ke converted and Michigan led
7-0.
Moments later Illinois tied it up
and the Wolverines struck again.
Beginning on their own 21 yard
line, they rolled up two first downs,
then Bob Chappuis faded, flipped
a 15-yard pass to Bump who gath-
ered it in on the Illinois 44, and
sprinted to the four yard line. A
penalty moved it back to the nine,
then little Hank Fonde, imitating
a toy bull, off the reverse ran over
tie Illinois line backers to score.
Brieske made it 14-7.
That was-the ball gamp as far
as the scoreboard was concern-
ed, but Lenny Ford and a much
maligned Michigan defensive
line continually nullified Illinois
breaks with brilliant play in the
second half. With six minutes
left to play in the ball game, Il-
linois tackle Bob Prymuski fell
on a Michigan fumble on the
Wolverine 23. Big Russ Steger,
the whole Illinois attack this af-
ternoon, blasted for four yards,
then Chick Maggioli picked up
one, then Steger again for 3 to
the 15. With fourth down and
one to go Steger hit center again
and met a stone wall. That was
the ball game as far as the Illi-
ni were concerned.
Twice before Illinois failed to
capitalize on golden scoring oppor-
tunities. On the second play of
the game, Tom Stewart intercept-
ed Bob Chappuis' pass on the Wol-
verine 45 and brought it back to
the 27. After two plays Steger
fumbled and Dan Dworsky re-
covered on the Michigan 21.

Three Trains
Of U' Rooters
InvadeIllinois
Fans Cheer With Aid
Of HugeCow-Bell
(special to The Daily)
Sunless Champaign, invaded by
5,000 Michigan students and al-
umni was the victim of a many-
pronged infiltration as three spe-
cial trains and a horde of Wolver-
ine motorists poured into Mem-
orial Stadium for the Big Nine's
battle of the giants.
The student special, complete
with obsolete coach cars, joyous
old-grads, and an ex-Army kitch-
en car, converted into a short-or-
der bar, breezed into Champaign
at 12 noon Central Standard Time.
Train Activities
Bridge games, billing and coo-
ing and pre-game prognosticating
as usual were the most popular
activities.
Illinois' cheer leaders brought
home the fact that the Wolverines
were in foreign territory in a pre-
game parade. Two of them carried
a home made banner which said,
"too bad Crisler's on the Fritz."
Two more carried a stretcher
bearing a figure with an arrow im-
bedded in its heart. Next came an
Indian carrying a tomahawk, and
last a cheer leader with a little
sign reading: "I'm glad."
Halftime Hoopla
Illinois' huge, 175-piece band,
clad in the brightest orange and
black, presented pre-gane aind
half-time programs. The band
featured two gigantic mobile bass
drums rolled onto the field on
wheels.
Half-time festivities consisted of
saluting Homecoming queens
chosen from the University of Illi-
nois to represent each of the Big
Nine schools. Each school song was
played as the nine fair beauties
marched to miniature flagpoles
atop the scoreboard and raised the
Western conference colors they
were representing.
Michigan's small cheering sec-
tion gave noisy vocal battle (with
the aid of a huge cow-bell) to the
70,000 partisan Illinois fans and
fought them off to a standstill.
Well, almost.
