In Brief
The following column is a sum-

during the past week. An attempt

most important happenings as
briefly and concisely as possible.
NATIONAL
The Senate passed a resolution re-
questing the Immediate resignation of
Secretary of the Navy Denby because
of his connection with the Teapot
Dome oil scandal. The President re-
plied: 4'No official recognition can be
given the resolution." This lighning-
like rejoinder to the Senate's dcanand
made politicians gasp and fair-minded
individuals smile.
"I am a republican, but I cannot
shield anyone because he is a repub-
lican. I am a republican, but I can-
not on that account prosecute anycone

the way the President summed up his
stand on the whole Teapot Dome bus-
iness.

Siecial to The Daly
Madison, Wis., Feb. 16.-Wisconsin's
hockey team, fighting hard for re-
venge, could not stem the tide of de-
feat and was agai overcome by the
strong Michigan six in a fast and
rough game on the lower campus rink
yesterday afternoon. -
The score, 3 to 1, does not indicate
the closeness of the game. The ice
was in excellent condition. Michigan
opened the scoring in the first period
when Reynolds, Michigan's center,
made a short one. When it seemed
that in the second period both teams
vould go scoreless, Beresford, Michi-
gan left wing, shoved the puck into
the Wisconsin goal.
Near the middle of this period Quirk
Michigan's right wing, lifted a long
shot into the net from nearly the
middle of the rink. When it seemed
that Wisconsin would again go score-
less Johnson, captain and left wing of
the Badgers, netted a short shot.
