Chicago, May 21. - One more vic-
tory Was added to the growing total
of the University of Michigan base-
ball nine here today when the Wol-
verines swamped the University of
Chicago by the overwhelming count
of 12 to 3. With Dixon twirling ball
for the winners the Maroons never
had a chance, being able to garner
but five well scattered hits off his
delivery, while the Maize and Blue
artillery barraged the Chicago de-
fense with 13 well placed blows.
Five Michigan erros contributed
two of Chicago's three runs, but one
Maroon marker being earned. The
Windy City nine used two moundmen
in a desperate attempt to stem the
tide of Wolverine runs which stream-
ed across the home p'ate, but- the
Maize and Blue seemed to score al-
most at will. Chemik started for the
Maroons but was soon retired in fav-
or of Yardley,, who fared -ittle better.
Tight fielding by the Chicagoans pre-,
vented their opponents from running
up an even greater count, and there
were times when one more hit would
have meapt additional runs. Further
hitting was unnecessary, however, for
Dixon kept Chicago at his mercy
from strt to finish and was never
in trouble.

Ten
Michigan's overwhelming 108 to 27
track victory over Chicago yesterday
almost culminated in a tragedy when
the 16 pound hammer slipped from1
the hurler's grasp and crashed to the
ground within a foot of Sargent of
Michigan and Hall of Chicago, who
were standing at the start of the 220E
low hurdle straight away.3
Sargent Injured'
The wire handle of the hammer hit1
Sargent on the arm, breaking two
blood vessels and tearing the numbert
off his back. The heavy part of the
missile missed the Michigan hurler's
head by only six'inches. This accide
prevented Sargent's appearance ini
low hurdles, and in spite of this sev-
ere scare, Hall entered the barrier
race, wlich he won in the remarkably 1
fast time of 24 3-5 seconds, a few feet1
ahead of Swift and Cruikshank of
Michigan.'
Michigan's athletes were compelled
to extend themselves in only a few
events to take 11 out of 15 first places,
and in' seven of them the. Maize and
Blue tracksters scored, slams. ,Hall
of Chicago was the high point man of#
the meet, scoring 33 counters through
firsts in the low hurdles and the pole
vault and a second in the high hurdles
for almost half the Maroon total. Four
firsts, a second, and four thirds wereE
all that the Midway men could count
in the meet.
One Ferry field record was smashed
when Hoffman got under the javelinI
for a toss of 182.1 feet, and Dunne al
few minutes later heaved the weed a
180, also going beyond the previous
field mark. The former mark was 172
feet, 10 inches, made by Hoffman last
June in the Western Conference meet.
Captain =Butler - and Simmons tied
for second high honors with two first,
places each. The Wolverine leadgr
ran a nice 440 in :50 3-5, being closely
followed to the tape by Lewis and
Wheeler'of Michigan, and he also won
the half mile in the rather slow time
of 2:02 1-5 with Burkholder and Doug-
las practically tying for second al-
though the judges awarded Burk the
place.
Michigan's distance men in the two
mile upset the dope by taking first and
second. Standish ran a nice race for
his win, although the' time 10:02 2-5. is
slow.
Crulkshank Takes Second
Cruikshank was not up to his us-
ual form, for he only got second in
a poor broad jumping contest won by
Lewis of Michigan and a third in the
low hurdles. Hall went above Naylor
in the pole vault for an unexpected
Chicago. first, and Redmon lived up
to expectations by defeating Stipe in
the hammer throw.

ELECTED PRESIDENT
L. A. Kern, '22, Chosen to Head Radio

of Conference
' c
Drawing up a resolution pertain-
ing to professional baseball playersi
in Conference games, electing officers1
for 1922, and choosing Minnesota as
the place where the next conventionl
will be held, were some of the more
important things . accomplished at
the second part of the first meetingl
of the newly formed Western Confer-
ence Editorial association yesterday
morning in the Union.
The following resolution was adopt-
ed to express the feeling of the Big
Ten editors concerning ineligibility of
Conference basebaH players who have
played professionally: "We, the
Western Conference Editorial asso-
ciation, believe that professionalism
destroys the spirit of sportsmanship
which should control intercollegiate
athletics and stand firmly against any
trend which countenances any such
demdralization in the Western Con-
ference.
"However, believing also that col-
lege baseball players who engage in;
summer semi-professional baseball
for money with which to pay their
school expenses do not do so for the
express purpose of earning a liveli-
hood or for the purpose of commer-
eializing either himself or the sport,
we see no harm in allowing such men
to engage in colle'ge baseball and
recommend that the Big Tft athletic
officials make some provision which
will permit them to remain eligible.
Other Policies Upheld
"We further believe that all the
requirements of eligibility for Var-
sity athletic teams and especially
those pertaining to scholarship and
two year .registration be strictly en-
forced."
A strong sentiment was expressed
for the adoption of radio-news serv-
ice among Conference schools next
year, besides the establishment of a
regular Weste.rn Conference Press
service. L. Armstrong Kern, '22, was
appointed chairman of intraConfer-1
ence radio-news service. All Confer-
ene universities have radio sta-
tions.. '
Brewster P. Campbell, '22, manag-
ing editor-elect of The Daily, was
elected president of the Western Con-
ference Editorial association to serve
during the year 1921-1922. Thomas
W. Phelps,- managing editor of the
Minnesota Daily, was elected 'vice-
president of the organization, while
Noble C. Butler, managing editor of
the Daily Indiana Student, was
chosen secretary for' the coming
year.
Necessity of developing friendship
and co-operation between the editors
of the Conference universities was
the keynote of the banquet which was
held by the Conference editors last
night at the Union.
Prof. F. N. Scott, of the rhetoric de-
partment, acted as toastmaster and in-
troduced Prof. Ralph W. Aigler, of the
Law school, who spoke on "Confer-
ence Athletics from the Official View-
point." Other speakers of the eve-
ning were: B. P. Campbell, '22,.presi-
dent-elect of the association; Charles
Nelson, editor of the Ohio State Lan-
tern, and Donald Lafuze, editor of the
Daily Illini.

PROPAGANDA INDUCED U. S.
TO ENTER WA1I, IS CLAIM
Ten Sophs Cross
Withering Sands
From their ancient abode in the
East, the mystic worshipers invaded
the realms of Christendom, to return
yesterday with 10 striplings of come-
ly form, rescued from the monotony
of mundane existence. Over the with-
ering sands of the wilderness were the
neophytes dragged, to the halls of
Osiris where in the eternal Book of
the Dead their names were discovered-
in those hieroglyphs never to be pro-
faned by mortal view. Tried and
found worthy, the newly released were
at last entrusted with the dreadful
secret of the Sphinx.
The sophomore fits initiated into
Sphinx, honorary junior literary so-
ciety, were: J. A. Bacon, F. B. Darn-
ton, V. F. Hillery, James Hume, J. J.
Johnson, J. W. Kelly, H. J. Liverance,
W. G: Miller, W. J. Van Orden, and
R. C. Whitlock.
Speakers at the initiation banquet
last night at the Union were: Dr.
Charles P. Wagner for the faculty; R.
A. Campbell, treasurer of the Univer-
sity; k. E. Gault, '21L, and Willis
Blakeslee, '21L, for the alumni; C. M.

V. F. Hillery for the initiates. F. M'..

Choral union, Verdi's dramatic opera
"Aida" was rendered in full last night
and thus brought to a fitting close one

programs.
The work of every member of the
cast was exceptionally well done, Miss
Lenora: Sparkes, in the leading part
of Aida, showed an unusual depth of
feeling in the rendition of her part.
Her voice seemed on the whole a
trifle light in quality for a part of
this character, but her apparent sym-
pathy in the handling of the "lead"
was sufficient to offset any natural
deficiencies of such at minor nature.
