Changing its policy from a vaude-
ville type of entertainment to an ul-
tra-classical one, the University Glee
club will give its pre-contest concert
,t 8:00 o'clock tonight in Hill audit-
orium. George Oscar Bowen, direct-
r of the club, has arranged a pro-
gram which he expects will be well re-
ceived, inasmuch as the new policy
is expected to create some comment.
The club will give a recital in Ypsi-
lanti next Wednesday night, and will
journey to Chicago on Feb. 18, where
Michigan is entered in the Glee club
competitions between mid-western
schools.
R. Winfield Adams, S. of M., bari-
tone, will render a group of solos. An
org;n selecton by Philip E. LaRowe,
25, is also on the program, and thej
string quartet organized especially
for this concert, will offer a group of
light classical numbers. The Var-
sity Quartet and the Glee club will be
heard in classical and college songs.
The followng program will be givenj
tonight.

Mexican federals have defeated the
revolutionists in a hard battle at Te-
peaca which has resulted in reducing
a strong element in the rebel army
to impotence," the Mexican embassy
said in a statement tonight based on
official advices from Mexico City.
"Rebels under Generals Maycotte
and Villarreal have been decisively de-
feated after a hard battle at Tepeaca,
the statement said. "After being driv-
en from Tehuacan by federal troops
under General Eugenio Martinez the
enemy took up a position at Tepeaca
on the railroad between Tehuacan
and Puebla."
"General Urvalejo attacked them
here and completely broke up the
command, which was made up of sev-
eral of the strongest units at the dis-
posal of the Vera Cruz rebels. The
action has reduced a strong element
of the rebel army to impotence.
"On the Jalisco front the federals
continue the advance on the rebels I
