As the triumphal march of the troops approach, the national anthem of the allies are heard with military effects concluding with "The Star Spangled Banner." Saint-Saens' "Marche Heroique", the closing number of the program, is a bold and vigorous march, dedicated to the memory of Henri Regnault, the French painter, and presents an excellent example of the later French school. --------------------- Dr. Norris A. Brisco, head of the school of commerce, will give the Memorial address at West Liberty tomorrow. ------------- NO IOWAN SATURDAY The Daily Iowan will have no issue Saturday morning, May 31.

The state meet at Des Moines last Saturday, in which Iowa placed third, a half point behind the old rival at Ames, officially ended the competition in the state. The climax to the long period of training will come for the Hawkeyes at Chicago, June 7, when athletes from all over the middle west will compete in the nineteenth annual Western Intercollegiate Athletic association field and track games on Stagg field. Although the pick of the middle west will be in attendance at the big classic, fans are predicting that several of the Old Gold stars will be able to place in their respective events. Trainer Jack Watson has reduced his squad considerably since the state meet, and will devote all of his time to the few men who will make the trip to the Windy City. Justin and Colby will likely compete in the dashes for Iowa. The latter sprinter has lowered his time in the century considerable since the opening of the season and has a show to rank among the fast runners of the Big Ten. Sheedy and Dyke in the javelin throw, and Greenwood and Slater in the discus, have performed well this spring and their records warrant an opportunity to contend with the best men of the country in their respective events. Brigham will be the only jumper to compete for the Hawkeyes. He has jumped near the six foot mark consistently and has not suffered a defeat this year in out door competition. Watson is confident that he will place high at the big carnival. ------------ LAW FRAT AT LUNCHEON Several local lawyers and Judge Popham of Marengo, who is holding district court in Iowa City, were present at the monthly luncheon of Phi Delta Phi, law fraternity, yesterday noon at the Hotel Jefferson.

This is the last chance to relax before exams, the committee announces. ----------- IOWA WINS RETURN GAME WITH AMES ON IOWA FIELD 10 T0 8 --------- Score Indicates Weird Game But Total of 10 Errors and 24 Hits Holds Interest ---------------- NINTH INNING WAS PRIZE ---------------- Crawford Makes First Appearance at First and Gets Four Hits Out of Five Times Up -------------- Old Iowa sure needed ten runs in that Aggie baseball game yesterday afternoon and it was not without relief that nine innings came to an end and the Cyclones were two counts to the rear in the second game of the season between the two teams. A score of 10 to 8 means a weird game, and between good and bad luck, five errors for each team, and a total of twenty-four hits the show on Iowa field didn't lack for interest, though it could scarcely be exhibited as a model of the national game. Plagge for Ames got off to a bad start in the box and was yanked after the first stanza. Hits by Brown and Ehred, added to a sacrifice by Goodwin and Crawford's triple, made two runs and Crawford scored the third a moment later on Hamilton's infield out. Mayser was satisfied that Plagge wasn't right and had Greenlee in the box when the second inning opened, though it was said that Greenlee would have started the game had itnot been for an infected finger that gives him trouble. Both Score in Third In the third an error by Goodwin, who made a poor throw to first, paved the way for the first Aggie tally. Schneider went to second on the play, advanced to third on an infield out, and scored a moment later when Davidson singled to center. McIlree won the run back for Iowa in the last half of the inning when his blow to the left scored Crawford, the Iowa marker coming after two were out. When the Cyclones scored two more in the first half of the fifth the Hawkeyes came to life and counted ve themselves , apparently putting the game on ice. Betz struck out to start the innings for Ames, but Shellito put a fast one between third and short. When he stole second Olson's throw got past Goodwin and Hamilton's error in retrieving the ball enabled Shellito to make third. Davidson was an out, but Thayer got a base on balls and with Shellito on third stole second, Plagge's hit to right scoring both runners. Vanderloo hit safely but Levsen was out McIlree to Crawford. Playing Was Loose Iowa battled around in the last half of the fifth. Goodwin led off with a single and Crawford hit safely after Ehred flied to Davidson. Here Hamilton whaled a long high one between center and right; the hit going for home run and three scores. McIlree was out but Irish got a life on a pass. Errors by Thayer, Levsen, and Betz let two more runs over before Brown was out Levsen and Betz. Both teams scored again in the seventh, Ames putting over two and Iowa one. The Agge score came as a result of Levsen's long hit to center, Plagge scoring first on the blow. Levsen's bingle was good for three bases, but Hamilton booted the ball (Continued on page 6)
