WISCONSIN, SIIATTERS WORLD'S RECORD IN DIS- (CUS THROW SMrTH WINS 100 YARD DASH Liglitnimg Fast Performances in Most Events Result Also in Equaling Three World's Records (Courtesy Detroit Free Press) Philadelphia, Pa., April 29.-Lightn- ing fast performances in nearly all the events made the last day's Penn relay carnival one of the best ever staged. One world's record was shattered to pieces, when Arlie Mucks of Wis- consin, threw 'the discuss 145 feet, 11 1-2 inches, while three world's records were equaled, during the course of the afternoon's entertain- ment. In the two-mile relay, the big fea- ture event of the day, Yale had to equal the world's record to nose out Chicago and Michigan, who, with the Ithaca contingent, were the ruling fa- vorites in this entry. The Blue run- ners circled the course in 7 minutes and 53 seconds, equaling the record made by the Irish-American Athletic1 club of New York in 1910. Chicago finished in the rear of Yale, with Michigan in third position. "Hal" Smith, of Michigan, the in- tercollegiate champton in the dashes, took first place in the century from one of the fastest fields ever seen at Philadelphia, in 10 2-5 seconds. Teschner of Harvard was second, with . ........ Germans Thrown B ack at Verdun 'ree ,(~1At aek', inl Doimint ioilRegion Repulsed by Artillery and M a- ehl~e (4,1111 Fire Paris, April 29.-Three attacks were organized by the Germans last night against the French positions in the Verdun region. The first of these, on the west bank of the Meuse, was frus- trated before the attacking troops had been able to leave their trenches. The other two, on the east. bank of the river, broke down under the fire of the French artillery and machine guns. The main attack on the east bank of the river was made to the east of the Thiaumont farm, south of the vil- lage of Douaumont, and a little to the west of the Douaumont-Fleury road. The French artillery and machine guns held the Germans well back of the French position, and the attack- ing forces were driven back with heavy losses. The other attack on this side of the river was made between the ruins of' the villages of Douaumont and Vaux. Today the activity in this region was' confined to the artillery. G1ermans Withdraw Verdun Batteries Reports from various quarters are to the effect that German heavy batter-, ies are being withdrawn from the Verdun front. Their destination is not definitely known, but it is gener- ally believed that some of them at least are being sent to positions along the British front, where increasing activity seems to foretell a German of-~ fensive. TOLEDO CLUB WINS IIN! TENNIS CLASH jiatch Hotly Contested All the Way;< Captain Crawford Plays; Final Score 5-4 - - -t 01110 TEA 31ORE EXPERIEN('EI)l Michigan's Varsity tennis team wenti down to defeat yesterday before the more experienced Toledo Tennis club team. Although the Maize and Blue players had anticipated such a result, yet they put up a hard fight all thec way, as indicated by the close scorea of 5-4.t In spite of his recent illness, Cap-a tain Crawford of the Varsity team put up a plucky fight, even though het lost in the singles to Cummings of the Toledo aggregation. In thei dotables, he and Mack defeated Cum- mings and Corey, the Ohio city club's best bets.I Codd of the Varsity had a streak of bad luck in his clash with Gard- ner, losing the singles, but redeem- ing himself in the doubles with Swit- zer as his partner. Corey demonstrated that he is the best man on the Toledoc team. Thomas is another experienced man, and Voorhees won the Middle Bass tournament last year. Michigan lost in the singles but won two out of three of the double sets.f Following are the summaries: Smith of Wisconsin third. tors and judges could see no between the first four men', Specta- daylight so close TO VARSITY TEAM BY SCORE OF 8-0 MILLER PITCHES MASTERFUL GAME ALLOWING ONLY ONE HIT ANDRUS STARTS BUT IS WILD Walterhouse Proves Star, Having Per- fect Day Both at Bat and in Field; Caswell Also Stars Apparently anxious not to be out- done in this fashion of presenting Michigan with her baseball games on a silver platter, which custom was inaugurated earlier in the week by Kalamazoo, the Case aggregation fell obediently into line yesterday after- noon and virtually handed Michigan the contest. The figures were 8 and 0. But for this generosity on the part of the boys from the School of Applied Science, Mlichigan might have experi- enced considerable anxiety and con- cern over the possible outcome, for the Wolverines didn't earn a sagle solitary run all afternoon long. But it wasn't necessary. Case graciously withdrew in favor of the home hopes and that was all there was to it. Captain Labadie and his men prefer to win their games in more orthodox and sportsmanlike fashion, but Case was insistent and not wishing to give offense to their guests, Ihe Wolverines made the most of the opportunity. To tell the truth, the visitors couldn't ever have hoped for more than a 0 to 0 draw at the best, for Miller was airtight and master of the situation at every turn. Andrus start- bd the game but he was withdrawn in the second in favor of the lanky box- man. "Andy" didn't exactly retire un- der a fusilade of hits either, but he couldn't locate the platter as often as is necessary under modern regulations and remembering the horrible spec- tacle of what this did to a certain gentleman a few days ago, Lundgrun hastened to withdraw his "wildman" in favor of a twirler with better aim. The first man that faced Miller sin- gled, but he clamped on the screws and breezed through the rest of the game in capital fashion. Miller re- ceived sparkling support from his. mates, Walterhouse and Caswell con- tributing several sparkling plays and defensive maneuvers that brought the rooters to their feet. Walterhouse didn't confine his sensational stuff to fielding, whacking out three singles and scoring three runs, besides steal- ing three bases. All in all, this enter- prising youngster had a "large" day. Brandell pulled one of the feature plays of the day in the ninth inning (Continued on Page Six) JUNIOR PLAY BIG SUCCESS I ___ Staged Before Large and Enthusiastic Audience in Detroit Playing before a large and enthu- siastic audience of alumnae and friends, the junior girls scored a de- cided hit with their Detroit produc- tion of "The Yankee Yogi," Saturday night. The play was staged in the newly erected MacAllister hall, and was under the auspices of the Michi- gan Women's Association of Detroit. A number of changes in the produc- tion were made since the Ann Arbor performances, and the work of cast and chorus was greatly improved. Local alumnae entertained the col- lege girls with a luncheon at noon and dinner in the evening. More than a hundred girls were housed through the care and hospitality of the Detroit committee, upon which many recently graduated girls were active. The troupe returns to Ann Arbor this aft- ernoon. 'That.Band ' Dons Sp ring Raiment New Khaki Uniforms Excite Wonder and Admiration of Crowd All spruced up in new khaki uni- forms, looking as natty and trim as a company of clothing store models, the Varsity Band excited the wonder and admiration of the assembled fans when they swung into the diamond yesterday afternoon promptly on the hour of three. As the leader raised his baton and the band crashed onto the opening bars of "The Victors," the entire body of onlookers rose to their feet with a cheer and continued to ap- plaud until the musicians had com- pleted the circuit of the bleachers and taken the places reserved for them. The music rendered between the in- nings of the game set the whole crowd to whistling. It was new, it was snappy, and it "got across" only as music given by "That Michigan band" can get across. Not a single mourn- ful melody, not a single sentimental syllable, but the quick, soul-stirring kind that put new vim into the pitch- er's arm, and new prowess behind the batter's swing. OBREGON INSISTS NConference Between Mexican and U. S. Generals Results hi No Def- nite Agreement1 PLAN ANOTHER lEETING SOON El Paso, April 29.-General Obre- gon insists that only the withdrawalI of the American troops would placate the Mexican people. "If the invaders refuse to withdraw, the United StatesI will precipitate a condition that would1 mar the friendship of the two nations. The responsibility would be on the United States." Generals Hugh L. Scott and Freder- ick Funston, representing the Uniteda States, and Generals Alvaro Obregon1 and Jacinto Trevino, representing thea Carranza de facto government of1 Mexico, met in their first formal con-t ference on the Mexican situation this afternoon shortly after 5:00 o'clock. At its conclusion, Generals Scott and Funston hurriedly returned to the American side of the line, admitting that they had no statement to make. But they asserted that the meeting had been satisfactory and that there would, be other meetings with Generals Obregon and Trevino. It can be defi- nitely stated that no agreement was reached by the conference on the with- drawal of the American army. WORLD BEATER FROM MISSOURI TO COMPETE IN FIELD GAMES St. Louis, April 27.-The Missouri Athletic association, St. Louis, will send to the national track and field games this summer a boy who bids fair to be the world's greatest pole vaulter. F. W. Floyd is the man ini question. Floyd is completing his course at the University of Missouri now and he has done 12 feet 8 1-21 inches indoors. In the indoor meet of the Kansas City A. C., Floyd, competing for his club. set a new world's record for an# indoor vault on a board floor. The former record was 12 feet 5 inches and was held by Rockne of Notre Dame. Floyd set a remarkable record of 12 feet 8 1-2 inches. The' other entries, the best of the Missouri Val- ley conference schools, were long since out of the running, and Floyd tried for 13 feet. He cleared the bar but his hand brushed it off as he fell. SIN FEIN REBELS FIGHT H m COMBAT WITH ROYAL MILITARY CONTROLLING ,was the honored quartet. A dispute between the judges was caused by the close finish between Smith of Michi- gan and Teschner, but ended with the Wolverine captain drawing the de- cision, after some argument. The star of the whole meet, big Mucks of Wisconsin, got the coveted first position in the 16-pound shot put when he separated himself from the lead missile by a distance of 48 feet 11-2 inches. Behind the Westerner came Richards, the star all-around man of Cornell, while Tann of New York university ended up in third position. When Cornell's quartet of milers finished their respective distances in the four-mile relay event, it was found that another globe record was equaled. The Ithaca lads succeeded in accomplishing the four miles in 17 minutes, 51 2-5 seconds. This shades the intercollegiate record made only last year at the biggest college event, of 17 minutes, 55 seconds. The form- er intercolegiate record was made by Princeton. Not to be outdone by any one else in the matter of equaling or shatter- ing world or intercollegiate records, Simpson of Missouri, did the 120-yard hurdles in 15 2-5 seconds. The star from the "show me" state tied his own record made last year by so leaping the sticks today.

MACHINE GUNS REAP HARVEST Leaking Censorship Tells of Women Accompanying Men in Attacks on Dublin Postoffice Dublin, April 29. - Amid roaring' flames that threatened to sweep this city of more than half a million in- habitants, British troops and Sinn Fein rebels engaged in a furious hand-to- hand struggle until an early hour yes- terday. The rebels, routed by the gov- ernment troops, scurried away as dawn broke upon the blackened ruins of the Sinn Fein stronghold in the heart of Dublin. In their flight they were mowed down by maxim and rifle fire and lost heavily. It is now estimated that more than 100 persons were killed or were missing as the result of the four days of street fighting. The military apparently are now in control of the situation, though the disorders are not yet completely quelled. A ring has been thrown around the rebel force, who seem to be disheartened by their failure to rouse a general uprising throughout Ireland. Attempted outbreaks roused by the (Continued on Page Six) SOPH PROM PLANS NEARLYMATURED" Decoration Committee Promises Strik- hig Color Effects; Men Wear Informal Garb TICKETS ON SALE WEDNESDAY Under the direction of General Chairman J.
