Coach Kipke Sees Good Year
For Wolverine Football Team
The Wolverines will have another
good football team this fall if thel
expectations of Coach Harry Kipke
are carried out.
If the members of last year's fresh-
man squad develop as the Coach ex-
pects them to, in combination with
the remaining members of the reg-
ular squad, Michigan will have a team
that must be a power in the Big Ten.
The team will have 13 letter men
back for practice this fall, ten of them
on the line and other three in the
backfield. The line players who are re-
turning are Ward, Austin, Fuog,
Hildebrand, Borgman, Ford, Jacob-
son, Malashavich, Beard, and Vier-
giver. Last year's backfield players
who will be back on Ferry Field when
practice starts September 15 are Oli-
ver, Regeczi, and Renner.
Promising numeral winners who
may get a chance to play on the
1934 team are James, Bolas, and
Triplehorn in the backfield and John-
son on the line.
Among the outstanding sophomores
who are expected by Coach Kipke to
show up well this year are Patanelli,
winner last spring of the Chicago
Alumni Trophy for the member o:
the freshman football squad showing
the most promise, Sears, Hanshue
and Wright as line men; and Aug,
Sweet, and Jennings some place ir
the backfield.
The following Associated Press dis-
patch from Minneapolis gives the
prospects for the Western Confer-
ence championship race as they are
lined up by Bernie Bierman, head
coach at the University of Minnesota,
MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 2. - (A') -
Bernie Bierman, Minnesota's football
coach who claims to be getting his
gridiron headaches early this year be-
cause of a tendency of fans to "con-
cede" him the Big Ten title, want to
remind one and all, right now, that
"Michigan is still in the league."
Outlining the probable strength of
Western conference elevens, Bier-
man's only comment on his own Go-
phers consists of a laconic: "Minne-
sota will have nearly the same team
that played through the 1933 sea-
son."
The Gophers, undefeated last fall
though tied four times, had six soph-

More Freshmen Want
Admission Next Year
Applications for admission to
the University as freshmen have
been received from a slightly larg-
er number of prospective students
this year than last, figures re-
leased by Registrar .Ira M. Smith
show. The total at the close of
last week was 953, contrasted with
935 at the corresponding time a
year ago.
The number of applications
granted is no definite indication of
the number of freshmen who ac-
tually will be enrolled, but it is
significant that last year's total
of applications was far ahead of
the number applying in 1932 and
that the incoming class last year
was 25 per cent larger than that
of the preceding year.
The number of students apply-
ing in the several schools that re-
ceive freshmen are as follows, list-
ing the 1933 figures as a basis for
comparison: Literary, 1934 -723,
1933 --746; Engineering, 1934 -
187, 1933-146; Architecture, 1934

Reich" Honors Dead
LeaderWhilDe Hitler
Seizes Presidency
Recalled To Berlin
The last excursion of the Summer
Session series for 1934 will be under-
taken tomorrow, under the direction
of Prof. Carl J. Coe, director of ex-
cursions, when students making the
tour will visit points of interest in
Detroit.
The day in Detroit is a repetition
of an earlier tour, the second of the
summer series, and is designed not
only for students from out-state, but
for students from the state who are
not intimately acquainted with De-
troit.
The tour replaces the projected
visit to the State Penitentiary at
Jackson, which was to have been the
eleventh excursion. Plans were nec-
essarily changed because of a ruling
by the Prison Commission forbidding
parties of visitrs, and the Detroit
tour was substituted for it.
Leave Angell Hall
Leaving Angell Hall by bus at 8
a.m., the party will make its first stop
at the Detroit News building, -where
they will inspect the facilities of the
huge newspaper plant. The tour will
be conducted at this point by a mem-
ber of the Detroit News staff.
From the News building the party
will set out on a ride through down-
town Detroit and out to Belle Isle, an
Island in the Detroit River on which
has been built a large municipal park
and playground. Returning, the bus-
es will leave the excursionists at the
K''is is one of the mdern Detroit
office buildings, and has been very
extravagantly decorated with marble
and similar stones and murals of gold
leaf. After a tour of inspection, dur-
ing which the party will also visit
Radio Station WJR on the twenty-
eighth story, the party will have
luncheon inhthe air-cooled cafeteria
which is a unit of the building.
To See Special Feature
From this point the group will go
through a tunnel leading under
Grand Boulevard and Second Avenue
to the General Motors building, where
they will see a feature not included
on the first tour of Detroit. This is
an exhibit arranged for their inspec-
tion by the research laboratories of
the General Motors Corp.
Then they will board the buses once
more for a ride up Woodward to the
Detroit Public Library and the De-
troit Institute of Arts. Entering the
latter, they will be conducted through
the Institute, each gallery housing the
work of a particular country and age.
Here they will also see the much dis-
cussed murals of Diego Revera.
Across Woodward Avenue they will
inspect the Detroit Public Library be-
fore boarding the buses for the re-
turn trip to Ann Arbor. The tour
Will be completed at about 6 p.m.
Costs for the trip will be $1.50 for
bus fare, in addition to individual
luncheon expenses.
Reservations should be made before
5 p.m. today in the office of the Sum-
mer Session.

AMERICAN LEAGUE
DETROIT, Aug. 2. -- (P) - At least
three persons were killed, a crowdec
excursion steamer was driven ashore,
and property damage unofficially es-
timately at $1,000,000 was done by a
heavy wind and rainstorm which
swept over Eastern Michigan late to-
day.t
The storm, sweeping southward
from Flint, unroofed or demolished
buildings, uprooted trees and dis-
rupted communication and other ser-
vices in four counties.
The steamer Tashmoo, en route
to Detroit with 250 excursionists, was
driven ashore on the Canadian side
of the St!Clair river near Algonac.
Both paddle wheels of the vessel'were
smashed. Coast guards took off 150
of the passengers. The 100 remaining
aboard were believed to be in no dan-
ger as the storm had subsided. The
steamer Put-in-Bay, was dispatched
from Detroit to the stranded steamer.
Flint suffered most from the storm,
at least 10 injuries and one death
beingreported there. The one known
fatality was that of an unidentified
man who dropped dead from a heartI
attack while attempting to remove a
fallen tree.
In Cass Lake, in Oakland County,
M. Willit, 38, of Detroit, and his 10-
year-old son drowned when th'e storm
upset a rowboat in which the boy
was sitting and his father went to
his rescue.
Fears wereexpressed for.,an air-
plane pilot, identified only as a "Ford"
who has not been reported since he
took off from Oxford in Oakland
County with a parachute jumper. The
latter landed safely but the plane
disappeared into the gathering storm.

Before Beginning Tour
Of Inspection
PORTLAND, Aug. 2. -- (R) - Pres-
ident Roosevelt returned to the con-
tinental United States after spending
a month sailing through tropic seas
and visiting outlying American ter-
ritories.
The cruiser Houston, his vacation
ship, loomed up over the southwest-
ern horizon off Astoria, Oregon, this
morning. It anchored near the Co-
lumbia River lightship pending com-
pletion of plans for proceeding to
Portland where the chief executive
will begin a cross-country inspection
tour, ending in Washington a week
hence.
Elaborate preparations were made
in Portland for the President's re-
turn.
Mrs. Roosevelt and their eldest son,
were on the way here. Stephen Early
and Louis M. Howe, presidential sec-
retaries, arrived this morning. Secre-
taries Dern, Ickes, and Morgenthau,
of the War, Interior, and Treasury
departments, respectively, also were
en route to Portland.
The presidential secretaries were
confronted with huge stacks of of-
ficial mail that had accumulated here
in only two days. One of them said
it was enough "to keep Mr. Roosevelt

CHICAGO, Aug. 2. -(P)-A graph-
ic sketch of man's rise from savagery
to civilization in an eight-reel talk-
ing picture will be shown before col-
lege audiences throughout the na-
tion.
The Oriental Institute of the Uni-
versity of. Chicago announced today
that the unique film would soon be
sent on the road. The picture, titled
"The Human Adventure," was pro-
duced under the supervision of Dr.
James H. Breasted, famous arche-
ologist. and director of the institute,
the largest archeological research or-
ganization in the world.
It carries the audience through the
lands where civilization was cradled,
Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Anaolia, Irak-
and Persia. It was flAlted during
eight of the fourteen expeditions the
Institute has sent into these ancient
sites.
Dr. Breasted's cinematic likeness
guides the auditors on the arm-chair
tour of exploration, He relates the
significance of the scene and recites
the chronology of mankind's rise.
The climax is the showing of Per-
sepolis, capital of the Persian empire,
built by Darius the Great about 500
B.C. The, monuments, towering col-
umns, and carved stairways are seen,,
and a glimpse is afforded of the ex-
pedition encamped in Darius' re-
constructed harem.
Dr. Breasted describes the subject
of the picture as "the most remark-
able process known to us in the uni-
verse - the rise of man from savag-
ery to civilization."

today, New York in second, and the'
pennant aspirations of the Clevelandj
Indians were dealt a double blow as
Mickey Cochrane's team downed.
Cleveland, 3 to 0.
The Indians played the game under
the managership of William Kamm,

hospital in serious condition with
pleurisy and saw their pennant hopes,
dying as .they dropped their third.
game in four to Detroit. New York
routed Boston, 12 to 4 with 18 hits
to remain close behind the Tigers.
Eldon Auker was the hero of the
day, holding the Tribe batsmen to
four hits in registering the finest per-
formance of his career to beat Mel
Harder, the Indians' mound ace. The
Tribe collected their hits in scanty
fashion, getting one in the first, fifth,
and sixth, and another in the ninth.
While Auker was holding the In-
dians the Tigers were pounding 10
hits off Harder. The winning runs
were scored in the sixth and seventh,
although they threatened to start the
scoring from the first inning.
Eighty Courses
On Schedule Of
Extension Unit
One-Quarter More Than
Last Year; Detroit Is To
Have 52,_Fisher Says
At least 80 courses, one-fourth more
than were given last year, will be of-
fered by the Extension Division ofJ
the University during the 1934-35
school year, it is announced by Dr.
Charles A. Fisher, assistant director
of the division. The courses will be
given in 12 cities.
Among the courses to be offered will
be one in the study and practice of
hobbies, to be given here by a selected
group of faculty men. Another is
Speech 151, a course entitled Broad-

Of CoupD'Etat
NEUDECK, Germany, Aug. 2. -()
-Paul von Hindenburg, aristocrat,
soldier, and statesman, was honored
tonight by his fatherland in death as
he had been in life,
The body of the Reichspresident lay
in state in his country home where he
died at 9 a.m. today (3 a.m., E.S.T.)
and a detachment of his beloved
Reichswehr stood proudly on guard.
Next Tuesday a great national fu-
neral will be held for the man who in
nearly 87 years served his country in
three wars and for nine years stood
at the head of the nation through
troubled times.
Death came peacefully and without
pain after weeks of suffering, through
which the venerable Field Marshall
General maintained his usual proud
and erect carriage.
Last night von Hindenburg, who
was deeply religious,'lifted his hand
in prayer.
Then with a look of contentment on
his face, and hands folded on his
breast, he fell into a sleep from which
he never awoke.
Memorial To Be Funeral Site

Tannenburg, erected near Hohenstein

army turned back the invading Rus-
sians 20' years ago this mo th, will b\

BERLIN, Aug. 2. - () - Adolf
Hitler in a- series of lightning-like
moves made himself absolute dictator
of Germany today.
He concentrated in his own hands
the functions of President and of
Chancellor as soon as news had been
received that the aged President and
patriot, Paul von Hindenburg, had
died at Neudeck. Later Hitler an-
nounced that he would refuse to a-
sume the title of Reichs-pr.esident.
He desires to be known only as Fue-
hrer and Reichschancellor.
Immediately after assumption of
supreme power called for and received
an oath of personal allegiance from
officers and men of the entire army
and navy.
Calls Plebiscite
After these moves, amounting to a
virtual coup d'etat, Hitler, the former
lance corporal who succeeded a field
marshal, called for a Presidential
plebiscite on Aug. 19.
The rapidity of the action which
concentrated authority odr 65,000,-
000 Germans in the hands of one man
recalled the spee'd with which the
Nazis came to power on the morning
of Jan. 30, 1933.
Once again the Germans showed
they are a disciplined people, trained
to obedience. The change from a
country governed at least theoreti-
cally by constitution to absolute dic-
tatorship seemed to cause no ripple.
Dire whisperings that the Reichs-
wehr, which worshiped the aged Pres-
ident von Hindenburg as a hero,
might refuse obedience proved un-
founded -as unfounded as had been
reports of a general strike when Hit-
ler became Chancellor.
Army, Navy Take Oath
By nightfall, the Propaganda Min-
istry announced that the entire army
and navy had taken the oath, which
was administered wherever detach-
ments happened to be or wherever
ships lay at anchor or moved through
the seas.
Though everything thus far has
gone smoothly, Hitler is known, nev-
ertheless, to realize that a tremendous
task confronts him.
It was impressed on him by vari-
ous advisers who visited him today
-notably Wilhelm Frick and Her-
man Wilhelm Goering, cabinet mem-
besr - that the world looked on von
Hindenburg as the last brake on im-
petuous, unbridled radicalism in Ger-
many.,

Tour Of Levant Described. By
Professor Karpinski In Lecture,
By THOMAS E. GROEHN
Discoveries during the last three
years have shown that there have
been great advances in mathematics
by the Babylonians about which we
knew absolutely nothing, according to
Prof. Louis C. Karpinski of the mathe-
matics department, who spoke yester-
day on "Mathematical Experiences
With the Levant."
These advancements were due not
to the discovery of new documents but
rather to the fact that documents
colleagues said that he was reading
something into the few documents
that they had at that time because
as far as they could see there was no
evidence of algebra in Egypt. Pro-
fessor Karpinski, on the other hand,
said that he was merely correctly in-
terpreting the documents. It was not
until the discovery of new meanings
to these documents that he was defi-
nitely able to prove his assertions.
Professor Karpinski was given a
grant of money by a prominent Mich-,
