PRICE THREE CENT MAROONS DEFEAT I MICHISGN 25-22 INH HARD0BTTLE CHICAGO TAKES LEAD EARLY IN FIRST HALF; HOLD IT TO END RYCHNER SCORES INITIAL COUNTER Wolverines Outplay Midway Through Major Part of Game Team The undefeated Chicago basketball team came near to defeat last evening at Waterman gymnasium when Michi- gan fighting ,with their backs to the wall outplayed Coach Page's men in the second half and came near over- coming the lead acquired by the Ma- roons early in the first period. When the whistle blew the count was 25 to 22 against the Wolverines. Rychener Makes First Basket Although Rychener scored the first basket, Chicago took the lead in the first five minutes of play and held it throughout. At the end of the half they had totaled 17 points to Michi- gan's 11, making them mainly on fouls and on long shots from the center of the floor. Coach Mitchell's five put up an ex- traordinary exhibition of the court game in this period and played the undefeated Conference leaders even in all features of the game by making long throws. Referee Wright had an unusual eye for fouls and called Michigan many times, allowing Gor- gas, the Maroon captain, to toss in foul after foul. Both aKrpus and Hew- lett took turns in the beginning when Michigan was given the opportunity at free throwing and both' were off color. The second half started in the same way as the first. Michigan tossed the first counter but Chicago then made four in rapid succession and it ap- 0eared as if the Wolverines would have no opportunity to carry away the long end of the score. After the mid- dle of the period, however, the Mich- igan defense tightened and the Windy City team were held scoreless until the end of the game. It was during this part of the battle that Michigan proved that they were an excellent quintet. Chicago was lost at various moments and the Wol- verines shot at the basket innumerable times but with little success. Slowly but surely, however, Mitchell's team cut down the lead, mostly through the repeated fouling of the Maroons and the good shooting of Karpus who found his eye in the early part of the latter half. The little forward made five out of six attempted free throws during this period. Breaks Against Wolverines The breaks of the game were against Michigan. Chicago had excellent suc- cess in hitting the basket on long throws, while the Wolverines' would roll around the edge of the hoop and not go in. In the last several min- utes many shots were taken at the home baskets but only one made, one shot from the left center of the floor by Borinstein, who substituted for Rychener. For Michigan, Williams, Rychener, and Karpus starred although the whole team, including Wilson and Bor- instein, who were substituted in the la'st half, played extraordinarily well.

Young of the forestry department. Saginaw farm is used by the forestry department for practical work in forestry and the use of fire- arms upon the property would endan- ger the lives of those students who are under instruction in the field. A hunter was recently arrested for trespassing upon the farm, and Pro- fessor Young said that in the future any- person found upon the property with firearms in his possession will be prosecuted. The farm has recently been stocked with pheasants and for that reason the authorities are, espe- g in11v inistant that there aha11 hA no CHURCH TO HEAR TRI O OF SPEAKERS As a result of the centenary move- ment of the Methodist church, a team of three strong workers, Dr. J.

GIRLS' GLEE CLUB MIXER DRAWS SCORES OF DANCERS Good Music and Selections by the Club Are Some of the Features Again the floor was crowded, again the shoes were dusty, again were peo- ple stepped upon, and again another successful Mixer went down in history when the Girls' Glee club entertained yesterday afternoon. A limit of 200 people had been set but evidently the doorkeepers were not made of the sterner stuff and could not resist the entreaties of "just one more." Between dances, the Girls' Glee club gave several selections. The music was peppy and aside from .the perils of venturing into the vortex, in the language of the society column, "a pleasant afternoon was spent by all."

MUNICH COUNCIL SOVIETREPUBRLIC:- STATE OF SEIGE DECLARED IN MUNICH AND AIJGSBURG IS REPORT CROWD LYNCHES COUNT ARCO VALLEY, ASSASSIN "I Shall Be Killed on Returning to' BavarIa," Late Premier Told French Deputy BULLETIN Berlin, Feb. 22.-Bavaria last night was declared a Soviet republic by Soldiers and Workmen's council In Munich, the Vossische Zietung today says. Copenhagen, Feb. 22. - State of siege has been proclaimed in Munich according to a despatch from Berlin under date of Feb. 21, quoting ad- vices from the Bavarian capitol. A committee of action has, been signed from three separate socialist parties including the communists and , the executive of the Workmen's coun- cil and Soldiers' council.- Will Form New Ministry The Cabinet will meet to deal with the formation of a new ministry. A state of siege has also been declared at Augusburg, Bavaria, says a des- patch fromr Berlin. There was a great demonstration accompanied by dis- turbances at Augusburg last evening, light cavalary and sailors repeatedly clearing the streets, firing volleys in- to the crowd. Assassin Lynched Munich, Feb. 21.-Count Arco Val- ley, the young student who shot and killed Premier Eisner, was lynched by m an angry crowd. Previous reports of the assassina- tion of Premier Eisner had been that Count Arco Valley was wounded by a Naval guard who accompanied the premier. A report received in Lon- don through Berlin said the count had died of his wounds Paris, Feb. 22.-Deputy Jean Lon- guet, in his newspaper, Popularie, says that after the speech of Kurk Eisner, the late Bavarian premier, at the Socialist's congress at Berne he congratulated Eisner on the bravery he had shown. Eisner replied, "Yes, on returning to Bavaria I shall be killed." PLAN TO PROMOTE PUBLIC SPEAKING Realizing that interest in debating and oratory on the campus is waning, the reorganization committee of - the oratorical association will hold a meetingat 4 o'clock Wednesday after- non in room 302, Mason hall, to: dis- cuss plans for promoting public speak- ing. Prof. R. D. T. Hollister is chair- man of the committee. Under the present conditions there is no open campus public speaking club. Every student upon payment of his tuition fee is thenceforth entitled to share in University debates and ora- torical contests,.yet few take advan- tage of this privilege. To remedy this condition it is plan- ned to form an organization composed of all students who are actively inter- ested in oratory and debating. It has been suggested that this club be open to' all students upon payment of set dues, this last to insure that none but those who have the interest of campus oratory at heart will become members. With such an organization in exist- ence a lecture course bringing promi- nent speakers to the University could be arranged and all campus debating contests managed by the club. UNIVERSITY LIBRARIAN WILL TALK IN DETROIT ART MUSEUM William W. Bishop, University libra- rian, will lecture at the Detroit Mu- seum of Art this afternoon. Mr. Bishop is sent to Detroit by the Uni- versity Extension committee. The subject of the lecture will be, "Books and Manuscripts of the Fif- teenth Century." The fact that the world has preferred Gothic to German writings will be emphasized. The discourse will be illustrated by a valuable collection of stereoptican slides.
