ARSITY WALLOPS OHIO STATE FIVE BY SCORE 38-2 CONTEST FULL OF FOULS; TIE BROKEN FOR SIXTH PLACE IN BIG TEN WOLVERINES OUTPLAY BUCKEYE STATE TERM Karpus, NeClintock and Williams Play ,Stellar game; 0. S. U. Take All Tips-Off With a gradual increase in the quality of basketball played, the Michigan Varsity last night, walked away from the Ohio State five by a score of 38-20. Displaying better basketball than at any time this season, and with per- fect working of the five man defense, the Maize and Blue triumphed over the Buckeyes, by keeping the ball al- most continually in their own hands. Many Fouls Despite the fact that the contest was not as fast as others seen on the floor, numerous fouls were called on both sides. Weltner, guard on thd visiting team, was forced out of the contest when four personals were called on him in rapid succession, during the second half. McDonald, the Scarlet center, managed to take the tip off, in almost every case, but Michigan would not allow Ohio to hold te ball long. Karpus of the Michigan five played a brilliant game during the second half, dribbling his way to the basket for two pretty goals. McClin- tock, at center 'for the Wolverines, managed to steal the ball from Mc- Donald's own tip off, and with sensa- tional ability, carried the ball to the basket for two points. Ohio's failing camein their inabil- ity to move the ball rapidly enough to keep it away from the Wolverine five. Coach Mitchell's men guarded the visitors exceptionally well, yet they were able to slip in 20 points, six of which were made on fouls. Ohio Sends on Three Subs During the second half, the Scar- let players sent three new men into the contest, placing practically a new team against the Varsity. Werthwein, who substituted for McDonald, amaz- ed the Michigan fans with his accur- ate basket shooting, yet it could not avercome the playing of the Wolver- ine team. A total of 26 fouls were called, eight of which were charged against Ohio State as personals, while the Wol- verines registered nine. Holding proved the principal cause for them. Neither squad seemed able to keep their hands off the opposing mei. Michigan's substitutions did not come until the last few minutes of the second half, when Coach Mitchell sent Bornstein, Wilson, and Emory into the game. Bornstein registered one pretty field goal, while the other tv/o men were not in the contest long enough to make their work count points. Karpus, the brilliant Maize and Blue forward, took the largest count in scoring, with 13 points to his cred- it. Francis, of the visiting five, led their bunch with 10 points. Breaks Tie Standing The contest breaks the Michigan- Ohio State tie for the sixth place in the Conference standing, and gives it to Michigan. It also evens Michigan's old rivalry with the Buckeye state team, the latter having taken the long end of the figure in last year's con- Washington Commemorating the birth of one of the greatest exponents of democ- racy that the world has ever seen, the University has. suspended all classes for the day, while prac- tically every nation on the globe will cease its business today to pay re- spect to the father of the United States-George Washington. Especially fitted to the times is the celebration of the event, is the opin- ion of the thinking world, for having watched the colonies of America be- come a league to enforce respect and co-operation together with democracy "irst In Peace!" among them, Washington is to be taken as an example for the modeling of the world league to enforce peace, according to authorities. It is the 177th anniversary of the greatest American's birth, and is be- ing celebrated over the United States, his country, with the deepest and sin- cerest of respect for the great man. The University students and the cit- izens of Ann Arbor are doing their share in paying respect to the peer of democrats by varied celebrations. Dances, dinners, and other forms of enjoyment are scheduled for the day.

EATON, '19, RETURNS AFTER MONTHS IN FOE PRISON Former Student Captured When Forced to Land Behind Enemy Lines Lieut. Paul K. Eaton, '19, who en- listed in the air service in the sum- mer of 1917, and spent seven months in German prison camps after his, capture in the spring of this last year, was given a tremendous wel- come at his home in Jackson this week. In an observation party of nine American-manned planes in France he became separated by the attacking Hun aviators. The enemy fire struck and damaged his engine, and he was forced to land behind the German lines. Wounded by shell fire, he re- mained in a shell crater until discov- ered by a searching party. Then followed seven months of prison life, experiences that Lieuten- ant Eaton says little about because of the thoughts of suffering and pri- vation that the telling suggest. Food and medical care were entirely inade- quate to the needs of a soldier in good health, and, weakened by the wound, he would have never seen the home folks but for the aid and food obtained from a fellow prisoner in the British forces. His return to Jackson followed a period of convalescence in a New York hospital. Lieutenant Eaton ap- pears in excellent health, the effects of the prisons have disappeared.
