FROSH TO BATTLE SOPHS IN RUSH ON FERRY FIELD ANNUAL CONTEST TO BE STAGED ON SATURDAY AT 10 O'CLOCK TO HOLD PEP' MEETINGS Freshmen to Meet Wednesday and Sophomores Thursday Evening Saturday is the day, 10 o'clock the hour, and Ferry field the place where and when the annual Fresh-Soph rush is scheduled to take place. There will the long-suffering yearling be given an opportunity to avenge himself for the many insults heaped upon him by the second year men. As on the morn of the M. A. C. game of last year, and many years previous, it will be the lot of the younger men to defend the three poles and the banners of their class against the strategic onslaughts of the sopho- mores. Directly following the pole rush, the cane spree will be staged. In this event an equal number of men are picked from each class and are paired off with one member of each class on a single cane. At the end of a certain length of time the side having the greatest number of canes wins the spree. For the past few years the second year men have been victorious in the fall contests while the freshmen have evened matters by winning those held in the spring. As a stimulant for the fray, pep meetings will be held Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Here will be gathered a battalion of speakers who will do their best to impress upon the minds of the underclassmen the kind of spirit they must show when they appear Saturday morning.

One will be given shortly before the Christ- mas holidays, and the other will be presented in April.

PLANS COMPLETED FOR 1920 SMOKER Fifteen Hundred Yearlings Expected to Consume Cider and Smokes at Union Final arrangements for the Fresh- men's reception next Tuesday evening have been made and all that is needed to complete the affair is the appear- ance of 1,500 freshm'en at that time. Some of the best talent on the campus such as Grover, star of last year's opera, DeButts, "shark" pianist and his orchestra will help entertain. McKee of the 'Varsity band, will per- form on his saxaphone. In addition to this, two 1920 men will offer some violin selections. All freshmen in the University are urgently requested to come to enjoy cider and smokes. It is not necessary to be a member of the Union to be admitted. The only requirement is that every man wear his cap. Every- thing will be free. Freshmen are asked to come directly to the Union at 7:30 o'clock. The en- tertainment will begin promptly at that time. The committees in charge are as follows: General chairman, H. E. Storz, '19. Arrangements committee, Edw. Rapp, '19E, chairman; William Yaeger, '19E, Phil Basch, '19. Entertainment com- mittee, H. E. Stor, '19, chairman; R. Reavill, '19, J. I. McClintock, '19. Address Women On Point System EXPECTED TO ATTACK WILSON Ira F. Landrith, Vice Presidential Candidate, Accompanies Hanly J. Frank Hanly, Prohibition can- didate for president; Ira Landrith, candidate for vice president, and Oliver W. Stewart, chairman of the Prohibi- tion campaign committee, will arrive this morning at 8:15 o'clock on the Prohibition special train, enabling the candidates to address the people at the Michigan Central depot. Considerable attention has been 5at- tracted by the speeches of the can- didates, who are attacking Woodrow Wilson and Judge Hughes vigorously. Democrats and Republicans have turned out in great numbers to hear what the Prohibitionists say about their candidates. Hanly has the distinction of being one of the last of the "log cabin can- didates," being born in a log cabin, struggling hard in early life, and fight- ing his way through difficulties to a plane of power in the Republican party and serving the people of Indiana for several years as congressman and governor. Landrith is a southern statesman, educator, editor, orator, and political leader of national and international reputation, sacrificing several hundred dollars a week, because he believes in the Prohibition cause. The editor is one of the founders and held the posi- tion of secretary for many years of the Tennessee Anti-saloon league. The Hanly-Landrith special will visit more than 500 important towns and cities throughout they United States before election day. The tour, which will probably excell any similar tours by the Republicans or Demo- crats, and which will eclipse all. past Prohibition party campaigning, was made possible through the efforts of the Prohibition pioneer, Oliver W. Stewart, of Chicago, and his co- workers. The local visit was arranged through supporters of the Prohibition candidates in this section. The party will leave here for Jackson, Mich., where a monstrous mass meeting is scheduled. LEWIS ADDRESSES HUGHES MEN Dean Discusses Political Situation at Smoker New York, Oct. 16.-John B.

FRESHMEN WOMEN POISONED AT Y. W. C. A. BANQUET It was rumored yesterday that nearly 40 freshman women, who at- tended the banquet tendered them at the local Y. W. C. A. Saturday even- "How Michigan women win their circled 'M's' and sweaters under the point system" was the essence of an address given by Miss Ida M. Evans to nearly 200 women at Sarah Caswell hall yesterday afternoon. Consider- able "pep" was instilled into the meet- ing by frequent cheers led by Olga Shenkman, '17, and her assistants. After the address by Miss Evans, a short business meeting was held at which the officers of the women's ath- letic board for the coming year were elected as follows: Business manager, Anna Lloyd, '18; publicity manager, Marjorie Votey, '17; secretary, Con- stance Winchell, '18; treasurer, Marie Macaulay, '18; senior representative, Janet McFarland, '17; junior repre- sentative, Louise Irish, '18; baseball manager, Doris McDonald, '19; hockey manager, Doris Hafford, '17; basket- ball manager, Lucille Duff, '19; tennis manager, Margaret Atkinson, '19; hike manager, Jessie Saunders, '18; track manager, Ethel Glauz, '19; archey manager, Carrie Baxter, '17, and fresh- man r.epresentative, Dorothy Williams, '20. It was also moved that a money prize be given, the amount to be named later, for the best chant for putting "pep" into the hockey teams this fall.% The members of the athletic depart- ment then adjourned to Palmer field, where a committee had. prepared a lunch composed of wieners and rolls, the latter being toasted over a big bonfire. Before an audience of nearly 400, Dean William Draper Lewis of the University of Pennsylvania law school last night addressed the Michigan Re- publican club at the Union. Dean Lewis explained his reasons for leav- ing the Progressive party, of which he was formerly a prominent member, and his reasons for advocating the election of Hughes for president. He recited in detail the Republican charges of the failure of Wilson in handling the Mexican situation, ,the Lusitania incident, and the Adamson bill, the three problems that he con- sidered the most vital and important that the present administration had dealt with. Each of the problems were considered with special reference to what Mr. Lewis characterized as "the inability of the president to meet a strong executive situation." The meeting was enlivened by the invitation of Mr. Lewis at the begin- ning of his speech that his hearer ask any questions that touched on the present campaign, and his promise to answer them to the best of his ability. During the course of his address, Mr. Lewis was obliged to go into the Pana- ma tolls act, the Danbury hatters case, the U-53 controversy, British censor- ship of the mails, the Columbia in- demnification bill, and several others.
