Af two clean victories over Conferen teams reputed as the best, the Mic gan five is set for tonight's batt which is expected to be a hard fig from start to finish. Need Early Start To overcome the Aggie~ quin Mather's men will have to be goi their best and early in the game w have to stop the Aggie off ensi which, if once started, will be m difficult to stop. It is the brillia scoring achine of the visitors, bu around Gilkey, that Mather fea most, but he is hoping by close gua ing to forestall them and to get t jump on the Aggies. By their decisive defeat of No Dame early ine the week, M. A. stands out as a powerful team. is practically a veteran combinati that comes here tonight, and t playing experience gained togeth during the past three years will a them greatly in the contest tonig: During the past week Coach Math has been sending his men throu, hard workouts for this game, and has been drilling them in a defen especially designed to stop theI A.

Regular Lineup Tonight Determined to continue their wi ning steak, the Wolverines feel th they cannot give up the presti gained recently, by losing to t Farmers, and will offer the visitors real battle. Probably the regul line-up will start tonight. Capta Karpus and Miller at forwards, Dun center, and Rea and Williams, guar will undoubtedly be Coach Mathe choice, although Whitlock and L Galley may be injected into the fra Yesterday afternoon Bud Rea w practicing shots from the center the floor, and the regularity wi which he caged the ball shows that: will continue his work .of the Pu due and Chicago games.

ENTHUSIASM IN WRESTLING INCREASING AT MICIGA Wrestling enthusiasm has been i creasing by leaps and bounds for t past two months, according to Dr. A. May. Every afternoon a lar number of ambitious grapplers wo out in the wrestling room of Wate man gymnasium. Present plans call for a tourn ment soon after the opening of t second semester. Competition will 1 held in seven weights. All those w] desire to enter are urged to weigh with Doctor May as soon as poss ble. Those who survive the preli inares in the tournament will aut matically qualify themselves to pa ticipate in the election of a captain. In order to arouse greater intere in and appreciation of the sport o the campus it is planned to put o a wrestling bout between the halve of the Purdue basketball game, Fel 28. The principals for this encounte have not been selected as yet, but fast match is promised. 'FRATERNITY STEWARDS To fraternity and sorority stewards: Many Michigan athletes are in need of work. It may be that you will need men to work either in your dining room or kitchen. If so call Hammon'd, phone 188, so that athletes may be given these jobs.

J. Farrell and Archie Hahn are active members. For several years Michigan has been strongly urging the adoption of such a rule according to P. G. Bar- telme, athletic director. The commit- tee report follows: That the members of this associa- tion use their influence with their re- spective institutions to prevent the boys of the preparatory schools from competing in too many events in the various interscholastic meets to be held in the future. The committee aft- er careful deliberation in this matter recommends the following sugges- tions : Recommended that no schoolboy be permitted to run in more than one event above and including the quar- ter mile. Below the quarter mile, and including the quarter mile, he will be permitted to run in two events. The two mile run is to be dropped from all. interscholastic competition. Re- lay races to be dropped from all in- terscholastic track meets, where the regular order of events are held. No restrictions on the competition in field events, except judgment should be exercised by the school authori- ties and coaches. Hurdle races are classed as running events. A heat in a quarter mile is classed as one race. This association contains in its membership the most prominent track coaches of the country. Represented are John F. Moakley, president of the association and recent coach of the Olympic team, Keane FitzpatrickI Princeton mentor and e formerly at Michigan, A. A. Stagg, Chicago, Law- son Robertson, Penn ylvania, K.

PPOOR ICE STOPS HOCKEY CONTEST Poor ice conditions last night broke in upon the informal hockey squad's schedule for the third consecutive time. The game which was to have been played at the Coliseum against the Varsity News sextet of Detroit was postponed early yesterday after- noon when it became evident that there would be no ice. No date has been definitely arranged for this en- counter. Last night's cancellation will not affect the game with the Detroit Waterstons, scheduled for 4:30 o'clock this afternoon at the Coliseum, unless; the continued warm weather makes the match impractical, according to Manager Fletcher. UNION BASKET QUINTET WINS ORGANIZATION RACE TITLE Coming from behind in the last half to overcome a 9 to 6 score, the Michi- gan Union basketball team defeated the Upstaters 20 to 12, in the con- cluding game of2the intramural tour- ntment Thursday night. Hickey was the bright star for the winners, reg- istering three field goals and four out of five foul throws in the last half. With the conclusion of the inter- fraternity and sectional series inter- est is turning to the interclass tour- ney, which will be started at the be- ginning of the new semester. With more than 100 men in good condition as a result of the intramural play the interclass series is expected to de- velop some teamni faster than the aevrage has been in the past.

The famous Becher No. 1, Em- pire test on the Becher farm, be- ing drilled by the Empire Gas and, Fuel company north of the town; of Benavides has never been aban- doned, as it is generally believed, and operations are again under way on this important test, which flowed a good grade of oil and pro- duced considerable gas at a depth of about 3300 feet, after which the Empire company erected a 42,000-, gallon steel tank. The following are some of the companies interested in the devel- opment of Duval county: Empire Gas and Fuel company, Mar-Tex, Abercrombie, Tex-Lar Oil company, Ark-Tex Oil . company, National Oil company, the Danci- ger Oil and Refining company of Kansas City, 'Missouri, the Simms Oil company of Houston, Texas and the Gray Ridge Oil company Several of the most experienced geologists and petroleum engineers of the California oil fields have made a careful survey of the Du- val county field, propounce it the most promising territory in the Gulf coast district and predict the opening up of a new field as large, or larger than any yet brought in in Texas. Rigs Moving In Although the field has been look- ed upon favorably by the large companies for the past year, as' evidenced by the fact that they have practically all blocked up considerable acreage, they have been so busily engaged in other proven fields that they were un- able to turn their attention to this particular one. With the slowing up of activities in the North Texas fields, however, rigs and men have been released from those centers and a number of the well estab- lished companies are shifting them to Duval county in an effort to prove it up. There has been much drilling near Pedras Pintas near Benavides and many wells are on the pump and producing a high grade of oil. Deep drilling is done around the salt domes which produce very large production. Structures are Promising Aside from the salt dome prom- ise of production, the northern part of the county is just as promising from a structural point of view. The drilling of the Mar-Tex No. 1 on the Ridder lease, disclosed a well defined structure which gave excellent indications of produc- tion. The Yegua sands, which have proven productive in other Texas fields, are also found in this field and in addition other shal- lower sands were encountered which gave good promise of being productive. The Yegua sand is picked up at about '1700 feet as was the case in the Mar-Tex No. 1. Geologists claim that on account of the live oil found in the Empire test, has est.lished beyond a doubt, that a pool exists in that vi- cinity and that every geologist who has made a survey of Duval county is of the opinion that such a pool will be tapped. Conditions in Duval County are similar to conditions prevalent around the largest wells in the Gulf Coast region around the salt domes and all geologists who have gone into the matter, agree that ,similar wells will be brought in around the salt domes of Duval county, which is just now getting so many test wells. REPORT OF THE GEOLOGIST OF THE INVADER OIL & RE- FINING' CO. OF TEXAS. "It is my firm belief-and this belief is shared by a large num- ber of other experienced and far- seeing oil men-that the greatest high-grade oil field ever discovered in the world will soon be opened in South Texas. I believe this new field will be located about 110 miles due South of San Antonio, and will extend through Duval County, Webb County, Jim Hogg, Brooks and Hidalgo Counties. By referring to a map of Texas, you will find these counties to be lo- cated in the very southern-most portion of the State; in what is generally known as the Lower Rio Grande Valley, or the Brownsville country.

I believe the great wells of Burk- burnett, Ranger and Stephens County, Texas-and of Homer and Bull Bayou, Louisiana-will appear small in comparison with the mighty gushers that will be struck. here. Furthermore, this will be high-grade oil of the much desired paraffin base - rich in gasoline, kerosene and lubricants-and not the low grade Tampico oil and as- phaltum base.'
