Henry Lawson
Leaves Camp
To Rise-Alone
Assistant 'Waker - Upper'
Departs; Foresters Miss
His Wakening Yell
Sentenced To Death For Kidnaping
By ROY SIZEMORE
BEECHWOOD, July 20.-(Special
To The Daily)-Most students at
Camp Filibert Roth got to breakfast
this morning but they got there with-
out the aid of Henry W. (Si) Lawson
who has served as assistant "waker-
upper" for the foresters during the
last three weeks.
Si, representative of a nationally
known saw company, has been con-
ducting classes in saw fitting in co-
operation with the regular University
summer forestry camp here. In ad-
dition to his services in that capacity,
he also acted as unofficial camp jester
during his stay. An early riser, Si
contributed a terrifying yell to the us-
ual rising bell and the cook's shouted
command to "rooll oout." Conse-
quently, with his departure for the
Syracuse University summer forestry
camp, students are forced to get
along with only one yell to wake
them up in the morning.
Gave Music Lessons
Lawson, along with his courses in
the filing and setting of cross-cut
saws gave lessons in the practical use
of those instruments. With the help
of Paul Chris, known as the nearest
approach to a modern Paul Bunyan,
Si-conducted an all day chopping bee
in which dangerous snags around the
camp were felled and split into stove-
wood. Chris, during his stay in camp,
explained axe sharpening and the
correct usuage of an axe to the stu-
dent foresters. To demonstrate the
edge which could be put on an axe,
he shaved Bob Metz, '39F&C, who
had grown a beard especially for the
occasion. Combining practical and
theoretical instruction, Chris, who
says he has been to school only five
days in his life, delivered a 3,200 word
thesis on his famous predecessor, Paul
Bunyan.
Coined 'Monickers'
A high spot in the memories of
the forestry summer camp of this year
will be the nicknames that Si coined
during his visit. One of his first ac-
tions upon his arrival here was to!
make a public announcement that he
would call anybody anything. Among
the "handles" he left behind are
"Skillet," "Ramrod," and "Father
Time."
In addition to Lawson and Chris,
two other men engaged in practical
aspects of forestry have visited the
camp recently. The first was Beiger
Berg who is in charge of technical
work on the Ottawa National Forest
who lectured on planting activities in
that area. The second was F. W.
Price, head of the lands and recrea-
tion on the Ottawa. In his speech
here, he outlined the acquisition pol-
icy and procedure followed in his
work.

Soap.Box Derby King Crowned
In Day Of Crashes And Bruises
Merlin Hahn Wins Against
24 Opponents And Gets
Trip To National Meet
By CLINTON B. CONGER
Collisions, spills, steel crash hel-
mets, and coasting cars were all a
part of Ann Arbor's second Soap Box
Derby, run off yesterday to determine
which of the city's home-made a'uto-,
mobiles would represent the vicinity
in the National Derby at Akron Aug.
The winner, Merlin Hahn, 15 years
old, 1475 Broadway St., Ann Arbor,
won out after two hours of elimina-
tion heats against 24 other cars, with
the best time of the afternoon, 36.6
seconds for the steep, 1,200-foot
course, in his first heat. The time
represents an average speed of about
23 miles an hour.
With his car weighing within three
pounds of the weight limit-250
pounds for driver and car together
-Hahn four times sent his motorless
coaster off the ramp at the top of
Broadway Hill and down the course in
times no other contestants could ap-
proach, to become the undisputed
champion of the afternoon. For his
performance, he receives the M. E.
Coyle silver trophy, emblem of his
local title, a wrist watch, a gold medal
.as winner of the Class A races, and
trips to Akron and Detroit.
At Detroit he will race against
other state champions in an exhibi-
tion during the running of the De-
troit eliminations, and at Akron he
will pit his car against other city
champions from all over the country
for the national title, which carries
with it a $2,000 college scholarship.
The hard luck driver of the day.
Raymond Fogg,k 13years old, 1104
Packard St., earned the same title
this year. In yesterday's races he
was paired against Hahn in the first
round heats, and came in second,
with a time of 38 seconds. It was the
second fastest time of the afternoon,
and as the best second place time he
was given another chance in the same
round against another driver, un-
paired because there were 13 entrants
in Class A. Fogg's sleek black racer
coasted in far ahead, and he moved
on to the semi-finals, repeating his
triumph, and thus came into the
Class A finals only to find himself
pitted once more against Champion
Hahn. Once more he lost, this time
by a slightly smaller margin than he
had in the first round, but his racing
for the day was over.
In last year's Derby, Fogg, racing
in Class B, on his first run crashed
into the irrepressible crowd which in
both years defied police orders all
afternoon and swarmed over the race
course. Fogg's car turned over and
he required treatment for skinned el-
bows. He went on to win two more
races and found himself in the finals,
only to lose to Allen Crandall, 12
years old, 808 N. First, who won in
Class B both years but lost out to
the Class A winners in the Champion-
ship Race.
Crandall started out in the first
race yesterday to make the third best
time of the day. His time in the
final race against Hahn was 39 sec-
onds.
Second to Crandall was 11-year-
old Jim McLeod, 715 Miner St., whose
snappy, stream-lined yellow and blue
racer three times got the judge's flag
at the finish line only to lose out in
the finals.
Three drivers who had trouble with
steering zoomed into the crowd as
they neared the finish line, one of
them suffering a scratched and
bruised ankle when his car pinned
his foot against the curb. In a Class
A heat one of the most promising
cars, "Miss Manchester," driven by
Lauren Feldcamp of Manchester,
swerved in front of the car trailing in
shortly after the start when a steer-
ing cable broke, and both cars re-'
turned to the pits for wheel repairs.
Feldcamp came back to reach the
semi-finals.
Derby requirements this year
changed the weight limit from 175
pounds per car to 250 pounds for car
and driver combined. Class B com-
petition was for boys from 9 to 12
years old inclusive, and Class A for
those between 13 and 15 years old.
CONSUL LANDS BIGGEST SHARK
The biggest shark ever caught with
rod and reel near Australia recently
was landed by Dr. Erick Fischer, a
Danish consul. It weighed 1,049
pounds.
Movement Is
Substance Of
Modern Dance
Instructor Holds Dance
Plays Important Role In
PhysicalEducation
By KATHARINE BURNS
What is modern dance?
This question which has been asked
by a great number of peopde was an-
swered by Miss Katherine Manning,
of Bennington College who is teach-
ing modern dance here this summer.
"The Fundamental basis and actual
substance of modern dance," said
Miss Manning, "is movement."
Modern dance is different from
both classic and romantic forms of
dance. The classic dance is built on
traditional forms in which movement
is only incidental and it dehumanizes
movement while modern dance hu-
manizes body movement, she added.
Doris Humphrey's theory of mod-
ern dance is dance which uses move-
ment as a medium of expression. In
its structural sense Miss Humphrey
said "Movement is the arc between
two deaths, the death of motionless
(of stasis) on one side and thedeath
of destruction (loss of balance) on the
other side." In other words all move-
ment is a series of falls and recov-
eries.
Miss Manning said that modern
dance arose simultaneously in Nor-
way, Sweden, Germany and this coun-
try about ten years ago. The name
"modern" became attached to it in
some unknown way and has hindered
the dance because it is considered a
fad.
"Modern dance plays an important
role 'in physical education progress,"
according to Miss Manning, "because
it teaches body coordination which I
think is very important even to ath-
letes."
In the nine years during which
Miss Manning has been a member of
the Humphrey-Weidman Concert
Group she has seen the gradual de-
velopment of modern dance.
"At first," she stated, "the dance
broke away from all traditions and
was stark movement devoid of musical
accompaniment and costumes. Dur-
ing the nine years, however we real-
ized that it was necessary to retain
some of the old traditions of dance."
Miss Manning will present a lec-
ture demonstration at 8:30 Tuesday
Aug. 3, on "The Place of Modern
Dance in Physical Education Pro-
grams and the Relationship of Drama
and Dance." She will be assisted by
Beatrice Lovejoy, a student in the
University who has studied modern
dance for several years.

U.S., Great Britain Split
First Single Net Matches;
Score Stays Same
WIMBLEDON, Eng., July 24.---()-
The United States and Great Britain,
playing spotty and sometimes hilar-
ious tennis in rhythm with a myster-
ious dance orchestra outside the
grounds, split the first two singles
matches of the Davis Cup Challenge
round today.
Sleek, dark-complexioned Henry
Wilfred (Bunny) Austin, main hope
of the defending British soundly
whipped Frankie Parker, 21-year-old
youngster from Milwaukee, 6-3, 6-2,
7-5, in the opening match but Don
Budge, the "red terror" from Oak-
land, Calif., tied up the series by sub-
duing young Charles Edgar Hare
after a wierd first set, 15-13, 6-1, 6-2.
This even division, confidently pre-
dicted in advance by the experts, left
the rivals exactly where they started
and America's campaign to regain the
cup for the first time since France
lifted it at Germantown, Pa., in 1927,
1o farther advanced than before.
American supporters, however, are
counting definitely on picking up the
two points still needed in the doubles
on Monday and insthe final two
singles matches Tuesday when to-
lay's pairings will be reversed.
The uninvited orchestra showedaup
to play for a picnic in a field ad-
joining .the aristocratic all-England
club and amused the 10,000 correct
spectators at least until Parker and
Austin, dressed in brief white shorts,
appeared on the courts for the open-
ing match.
Then while Frankie and Bunny,
two of the glumest guys who ever
made a double-fault, went grimly
about the task of "dying" for their
respective countries, the band struck
up a series of giddy melodies that had
the fans tapping their feet and for-
Yes.
