Bloomington, Ind., Feb. 26. -
Defeating the Hoosiers 26 to 17,
Iowa practically ended hfdiana's
hopes for Conference basketball
honors here tonight. The bril-
liant playing of the rejuvenated
Hawkeye five overcame al ef-
forts of the Indiana players to
snatch a victory and a chance for
the Big Ten title.
Michigan last night defeated Illi-
nois, tied with Indiana, for the lead
in the Conference, 24 to 18, in the
roughest and most brilliant basketball
game ever played on the Waterman
gymnasium floor. The Wolverines
took the lead at the start and were
never headed.
So close was the Michigan guard-
ing that Illinois, the highest scorer
of the 1921 Big Ten, was able to drop
in but three field baskets, the rest of
the points coming from the foul line.
Carney, sent into the game early in
the second half, was unable to break
through the Michigan defense with his
accustomed skill. Twenty-one fouls
were called on Michigan and 14 on
the visitors.
No Star
The Wolverines were without an
outstanding star, the entire team
playing sensational ball at all tunes.
Dunne's 3 baskets and the 12 points'
gathered by Captain Karpus, 10 from
the foul line and the rest on a field
shot, made these men the leaders in
scoring. Miller, Rea and Williams
played brilliantly on the defense, the
close guarding of the latter pair be-
ing responsible in a great measure for
the low score of the opponents. Two
men, Sabo of the Illini, and Miller of
Michigan, were put out of the game
for personal fouls.
Michigan Among Best
Except for foul goals, neither team
was able to score for the first seven
minutes when Michigan broke the ice
by virtue of Miller's two point coun-
ter. Fifteen minutes elapsed before
Vail counted the only field basket
that the Orange and Blue threw in
the initial period.Williams followed
the ball in masterly fashion and
stopped several Illinois shots after
they had left the hands of the play-
ers.
By winning this game Michigan
may be classed with the best teams
in the West. In the last five Confer-
ence games the Wolverines have been
undefeated, though numbering Chica-
go, Purdue, and Ilinois on the oppos-
ing list.
Wrestling Match Staged
Between the halves of the game a
,fast seven minute wrestling match,
between Bouchan and Gilland was
put on by the Boxing club. The men
were so evenly matched that no de-
cision was possible. The crowd, by its
attention and applause, gave evidence
of extreme interest in the mat game

Wireless Crries
Contest Reports
For probably the first time, Con-
ference student newspapers last
night made connection by wireless to
report the progress of an athletic con-
test, when Michigan joined with Pur-
due and Illinois and told them the
story of the game as it progressed.
Though Illinois was not equipped
for long distance transmission, the
powerful station at Purdue not only
took the reports from Michigan, but
also repeated the score -to Urbana.
Arrangements have been made to
handle the account of tomorrow
night's game in a similar manner. The
Purdue Exponent has stated that, if
the experiment is satisfactory tomor-
row night, it will make an effort to
secure the stories of later contests the
same way.

BLANCIIARD FAVORS STATE
CONTROL OF TRUNK LINES
Due to an unfortunate error it was
stated in yesterday's Daily that Prof.
A. H. Blanchard denounced state su-
pervision of trunk lines. The state-
ment should have read that state
highways in Michigan should be con-
structed and maintained under the
control of the State Highway depart-
ment.
Professor Blanchard also claimed,
at the last session of the highway
conference, that state highways in
general should be constructed and
maintained under the sole supervision
of the State Highway department held-
responsible for their existence. He
further statedthat many trunk, high-
ways were in unsatisfactory condition
due to their supervision being placed
in the hands of county officials.

Coy Spring Again
Proves Coquette
Spring was here!
While haberdashers and milliners
were beginning to prepare for an ear-
ly sale of straw hats and other spring
paraphernalia, and while ambitious
gardeners were consulting seed cata-
logues and the baseball men were
hoping for outdoor practice, Old Man
Weather came along and shattered
the fond hopes and plans of his help-
less mortal victims.
If Mr. Weather Man had tried twice
as hard, he could not have achieved
his purpose with more successful re-
sults. Starting with a light flurry on
Friday evening, the snow continued to
fall steadily, the instruments at the
University observatory recording a
downfall of seven inches of snow at
noon yesterday.
Reports from other cities in the
state indicate that the storm is prov-
ing more serious than in Ann Arbor,
which has not been affected as great-
ly as other sections, due to the fact
that but little wind is accompanying
the storm here. Late last night only
a light snowfall was reported, which
gives rise to the hope that Old Man
Weather may have had a change of
mind, and will return again to tease
us with fanciful delusions of le beau
printemps.

(By Associated Press)
Washington, Feb. 26.-Faced
the seriousness ofthe situation o
als of the state department began
night consideration of steps to tal
case it should be necessary to atte
to avert war between Panama
Costa Rica.
Official confirmation that Presi
Porris has .gone so far as to sig
declaration of war was yet lac
and from Costa Rica no informa
had been received, notwithstan
an inquiry to the American lega
The obvious remedy offered of I
ing American troops to avert a- c
was dismissed by those who be
both governments could be induct
listen to friendly counsel, and if
to issue a stern warning that i:
vention would stop the troubles.
The information received by the
partment continued to be practi
the same as that contained in ,
dispatches. The request of the
ama government for aid in recov
the guns surrendered many years
to the United' States authorities
not be complied with, it was said
the reason that they long ago
disposed of and the money rett
to Panama. The United States it
also said, was not eager to assi
apning the Panamanians since
would enable them to bring abou
precise situation the departmei
anxious to avert.
Stylus to Hold Meeting Tues(
Stylus will hold a meeting at
o'clock Tuesday evening in New
residence.
Those editors throughout the state,
who are presenting a request for the
amplification of the work in journal-
ism at the University to the Board of
Regents at their next meeting, typify
the class of newspaper men who are
foremost in their profession, accord-
ing to a statement of Prof. John L.
Brumm, of the rhetoric department,
given yesterday.
"Their opinion regarding the pres-
ent courses and needs is the opinion;
of men who are recognized by people
[in their own occupation. And their
make any proposed change effective
and .conducive to better instruction
in journalism is one that means
much," said Professor Brumm.
Twenty-one editors and writers
were present at the recent meeting in
Detroit, where a recommendation was
unanimously adopted to be presented
to the Regents, favoring the exten-
sion of the courses in journalism to
the end that a separate department
be formed and later the possible eleva-
tion of that department into a sep-
arate school, co-ordinate with the sev-
eral other professional schools at the
University.
President Marion L. Burton and Mrs.
Burton left yesterday afternoon for
Atlantic City where the President will
attend the conference of the national
Education association. He will deliv-
er an address on "The Probable Future
of Education in the United States; Its
Policies and Programs," before the
session on Tuesday.
Residents of the state of Michigan
and University alumni who are in At-
lantic City will give a banquet in hon-
or of President Burton and Mrs. Bur-
ton at the Hotel Breakers on Mon-
day night.F
President Burton will deliver an ad-
dress Wednesday night at a banquet
of University alumni in Philadelphia
and will return to Ann Arbor Thurs-
day or Friday.
With the view of ineicasing the per-
sonnel of the Freshman Glee club to
100 members, Frank L. Thomas, lead-
er of the organization, has issued a
call for 15 freshmen interested in the
work.
It is requested that all men desiring
