PRICE FIVE ( MICHIGAN SCORES TWO VICTO RIE WOLVERINES9BEAT MIANS IN1FSTu CONTEST,24T018 ILLINI HELD TO THREE BASKETS BY EXCEPTIONAL GUARDING SENSATIONAL PLAYING GIVES MICHIGAN WIN Karpus Scores 10 Free Throws and Field Goal; Three Pretty Baskets Caged by Dunne (Special to The Daily) 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 (Continued on Page Eight) THE WEATHER 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.

Alhl U 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. LOCAL LEGION POST FAVORS 31ILITARY COMPENSATION BILL Official recommendation of the ad- justed-compensation bill for ex-serv- ice men, which is now before con- gress, was offered by the University post of the American legion in the form of a telegram sent Friday to Senators Townsend and Truman, both from Michigan.
