The Daily Iowan The Student Newspaper of the State University of Iowa VOL. XVIII--NEW SERIES VOL. III IOWA CITY, IOWA, SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1919 NUMBER 101 BELDING OR MC ILREE TO PITCH AGAINST NOTRE DAME NINE Hamilton to Play in Outfield Iowa's Nine in Good Form As Result of Weather GAME CALLED AT 4 O'CLOCK Strength of Notre Dame Not Known Has Lost Games to Illinois But Beat Wisconsin Belding or McIlree will pitch this afternoon's game for Iowa against Notre Dame, but Coach Jones is as yet unable to state which of these two hurlers will start the game. Both are in good form and pitching fine ball, the recent warm weather having gone a long way toward improving the work of every member of the Hawkeye nine. Except for Hamilton in the outfield the Iowa lineup will be the same as against Cornell Thursday afternoon. Since Hamilton's hitting ability is needed in the batting order he will go into right field, taking Belding's place, if Belding pitches. Little of definite nature is known here regarding the strength of the Notre Dame nine. The Catholics are known to have lost two games to Illinois, one by a score of 9 to 5 and the other by 5 to 2. On the other hand, they have beaten Wisconsin. The Notre Dame athletes reached Cedar Rapids last night and spent the night there. They are expected to reach Iowa City at an early hour this morning. The afternoon's baseball game will be at 4 o'clock after the finish of the Iowa-Ames dual track meet. ORCHESTRA TO PLAY VARIED SELECTIONS Haydn's "Surprise" Symphony is Biggest Number in Sunday Afternoon's Concert Haydn's " 'Surprise' Symphony" is the biggest number to be given at the University orchestra concert in the natural science auditorium Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. This symphony is marked by simplicity, clearness of style, grace, and playfulness. The concert is free to the public. An exceedingly simple melody moves through the intervals of the chord in the second movement, andante in C major, from which the name of "Surprise" arose because of the sudden loud clash of instruments. The genial "Papa Haydn" once remarked to a friend, 'that's sure to make the ladies jump." The piquancy of the phrasing of the finale is in the master's best style. The first part of the program will consist of several modern selections, including Sousa's new "Wedding March." Many critics consider this number Sousa's masterpiece. Bach's "Schauspiel Overture," which received so much favorable comment when played at the vesper service last Sunday will be repeated. Dr. O. E. Van Doren conducts the orchestra, which has a membership of thirty-eight students, faculty members and townsmen. The oldest member of the orchestra is L. E. Lyon, who has played for forty-three years. Sigma Xi will hold elections next week. MAY BREAKFAST ON CAMPUS Proceeds Go To Ruth Paxson Y. W. Secretary in China The Annual May morning breakfast, given by the Y. W. C. A. will be on the campus, Tuesday, May 20, from 7 to 9 o'clock. The committee in charge is composed of Mrs. C. M. Dutcher, the social department advisor, Magdeline Grimm, chariman of the social committee, Alvaretta West, Bessie Tye, and Helen Lake. Tickets will be placed on sale in the liberal arts building Friday. The proceeds of the breakfast will go toward the salary of Miss Ruth Paxson, the Y. W. secretary in China. Miss Paxson is now on the second year of her five year stay, and this year she is being supported by the alumnae and the Y. W. C. A. of the University. DYER, LINGHAM AND WELLS ARE ELECTED Editor and Business Manager to Be Chosen at First Meeting of New Board Live competition and a heavy ballot featured the Iowan trustee election which resulted in a victory for Marian Dyer as senior trustee, and Dorothy Lingham and Earl Wells as junior members. The polls closed at 6 o'clock Thursday evening after more than 200 votes had been slipped into the ballot boxes. Only subscribers of the Iowan were given a vote and the interest displayed in the election was greater than had been anticipated. Mary Anderson, a present member of the Iowan Board, had charge of the counting of the votes, which was no easy task owing to the numerous candidates and the large number of votes cast. Marian Dyer polled a majority of the votes cast for the three junior candidates. Her total vote was 71 Eileen Galvin and Ruth Huntington, the other junior candidates, received a total of 65 votes. Among the six sophomore contestants the outcome hung in the balance until the last vote had been registered. Dorothy Lingham received 55 votes, the largest number received by any of the six candidates. Earl Wells with 53 was a close second. Clyde Charlton and Nancy Lamb broke even, each totalling 50 votes, thus making a close race between the four highest. Rodney Cobb received 32 and Kenneth Noble 23. The three people elected will take office at once. A meeting of the new board will be held in the near future, at which time the editor and business manager of the Iowan for next year will be elected. TENNIS MATCHES PLAYED Results of varsity tennis matches in yesterday's play were as follows: Lawrence won a fast match from McCullough; Brierly from Evans; Hathorn upset Tainter in their match; and Walsh took his with McDowell. The matches will be continued for the time being to enable the coach to get a line on his varsity team. Engineers will entertain at a dancing party at the Majestic hall Saturday evening. Prof. and Mrs. R. B. Kittredge will be the chaperons.

LOVE NOTE IS THEME OF THE HEP-ZET PLAY Romola Latchem and Erickson to Have Leads in Play to Be May 21 at Englert Not international relations but the adventure of a love letter is the theme of "The Scrap of Paper," the annual Hep-Zet play to be presented at the Englert theatre Wednesday night May 21. The play, originally written in French, has been translated, the situations made up to date, and the characters Americanized. However, none of the humor of the play is lost by so doing. Luther Erickson takes the part of Robert Holbrook, the unconventional traveller recently returned from China; while Romola Latchem is Suzanne Levering, the girl who unwinds the mystery of the lost love letter. Comedy parts are taken by Clarence Fackler as Mr. Gilbert whose chief interest in life is entomology, and by Ruth Rogers, as Miss Alice Gilbert, an easily shocked spinster. Earl Wells as Mr. Rockwell plays the "heavy" part, the husband of Louise (Ruth Ford) who is the one-time beloved of Robert Holbrook. Marian Dyer as Mathilde Newton and Herman White as George Harding play the ingenue and juvenile parts; Isabel Naureth and Mr. Mott are two sophisticated servants Seats may be reserved Monday and Tuesday at the Englert. SENIORS TO MIX TONIGHT Program Consists of Speeches Music and Dancing Plans for the senior mixer which is to be held at the Women's gymnasium tonight have been completed, according to Marcus Mullany, chairman of the organizations committee.

Simpson, Roy Mayne and Marcus Mullany. There will also be dancing and refreshments. Dean and Mrs. D. O. McGovney will chaperon. IOWA DOPED TO WIN FROM AGGIES TODAY Hawkeyes Hope To Take Dual Meet by Narrow Margin--Ames Star Injured Everything is set for the big dual track meet with Ames this afternoon. Trainer Jack Watson has his Old Gold athletes in the best condition, and they are fully determined to defeat their old rivals. That the contest will be close is the opinion of prominent sports followers, but Iowa is doped to win by a narrow margin. News has come from the Aggies' camp of the injury of Paige, star Cyclone jumper, who was depended upon to make several points for Ames this afternoon, and it seems doubtful whether he will be able to compete. If this rumor is true, it will mean several additional points for the Hawkeyes and a corresponding loss for the visitors. However, Trainer Jack Watson is not taking too much stock in the story which originated at Ames and will expect to meet the aggies in full strength. Promptly at 2 o'clock, the first event of the afternoon will be run off, and the other events will follow quickly in accordance with a definite time schedule and in the state meet order. Frank Birch, well known to Iowa students as a prominent sports official, has been selected as the referee for the meet. Director E. G. Schroeder of the physical education department will act as the clerk of the course and the following faculty men will officiate as judges and timers: Dr. J. J. Lambert, Prof. D. M. Brumfiel, Prof. J. N. Pearce, Dr. E. M. McEwen, Dean W. F. Teeters, Prof. E. H. Lauer, Prof. E. F. Piper, and Prof. R. A. Keuver. NO MASS MEETING HELD Because too small a representation of the University band turned out last night, the mass meeting for the Ames-Iowa track meet and the Iowa-Notre Dame ball game was not held. The members of the band explained that no cornet players were present, and therefore the organization could not carry out their share of the program. PHI RHO SIGS GIVE SMOKER Phi Rho Sigma entertained at a smoker for students and faculty members at the chapter house Wednesday night. Dr. H. L. Beye spoke of some of his experiences in France and the spirit of the men on the battlefield. Major Frank Love of Camp Dodge was a guest. FACULTY REGULATES CREDIT FOR MILITARY AND NAVAL SERVICE Committee Devises System of Evaluating Officers' Training and Army Camps LIBERAL CREDIT TO ALL Regulations Apply Only to Elective Courses--Required Work Must Be Taken At a meeting of the faculty of the college of liberal arts Wednesday night final regulations were adopted concerning the amount of credit to be awarded University men in recognition of their service in the military and naval forces in the late war. Ten hours credit will be given all men who completed at least 14 semester hours in the University prior to enlistment, providing they present an honorable discharge covering over three months of service. Graduates of officers training camps will be given an additional award of credit for their specialized training according to the camp they were commissioned from and the kind of training they received. Students who before enlistment had earned 90 semester hourse and who re-register within one year after their discharge, will be permitted to graduate upon completing seven-eighths of the ordinary requirements for graduation. All credit given in recognition of military service will be elective, that is, it can only be used to cover credit ordinarily gained by elective courses and not in place of regular courses requirements, such as English and foreign languages. Application for credit will be made to the University examiner, the applicants showing their discharge and data concerning officers' training courses and appointment of commissions. FROSH HOPE TO WIN MEET Dutton's Thinly Clads Compete in Telegraphic Meet in Wisconsin Coach Larry Dutton's freshman track men participated in a dual meet with the Wisconsin freshmen Thursday night. In commenting on the meet Coach Dutton declared he had high hopes of winning. Ty Smith won both dashes, running the hundred in ten and four fifths. Parker took second in the two twenty. Parker took both low hurdles in a pretty race from Belding, who hit the last hurdle and gave Parker the opportunity to pass. A. Devine took third in the low hurdles. The high hurdles went to Belding with Schope taking second. Harrington won in the high jump with a leap of five feet six. McConnell came down after the meet and cleared the bar at five eight. Harrington also won first in the broad jump going over twenty feet; Harold Smith was second. A Devine captured the pole vault, going ten feet eight inches. Goodrich ran a good mile making the distance in 4.53. Steffen also stepped a fast quarter, his time being .53.2. Ebert took first in the mile. Both relay teams made fast time. Reports from Wisconsin have not been received but chances for an Iowa win are exceedingly roseate.
