The victory was sweeping for the government, confirming in every de- tail the position taken by special coun- rel appointed after a Senate commit- tee had completed an investigation of the naval oil reserve.

World's Record Is Shattered By Hahn (By Associated Press) MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, N. Y., Feb. 28.-Lloyd Hahn, sturdy Bos- ton A. A. runner, shattered the world's indoor 1000-yard record to- night when he raced to victory over the defending champion Ray Dodge, if the Illinois A. C., in the title event at this distance in the National A. A. U. Indoor Track and Field champion- ship. His time was 2 minutes, 12 4-5 sec- onds, 3-5 second faster than the for- mer mark set by Joie Rae in 1919 at Brooklyn and equalled by Hal Cut- bill, the "flying parson" at Buffalo in 1922. Hahn set a sizzling pace from the crack of the gun and won "going away" by 10 yards from Dodge, with the rest of a field of 20 original start- ers either forced out or strung far in the rear. Edsin Wide, famous Swedish dis- tance runner, was unable to overcome liberal handicaps conceded to a field of 10 rivals in a 1500 meter exhibition race and barely gained fifth place, 40 yards behind the winner, Brennan of Fordham university, who had a 100- yard margin at the start. Wide's time was 4 minutes, 2 2-5 seconds, as compared with the world's indoor record of 3 minutes and 56 seconds set by Paavo Nurmi here in 1925. Brennan's time was 3 minutes, 56 4-5 seconds.

The Wolverines have yet to play Chicago and Iowa, meeting the Maroons on their home floor Sat- urday night, and Iowa here Monday. The Wolverines have defeated both teams this season, but. Chicago is al- ways feared when playing on its home floor, and Iowa is still given an out- side chance to tie for the champion- ship. To be certain of a tie for the title, Michigan needs to win but one of its two remaining games. Michigan has never shown so great aim attack under the basket as the one in which Oosterbaan and Harrigan featured last night. Long shots were not in vogue as far as the Wolverines were concerned for they had little trouble in wvorking the ball through the Purdue defense for short shots. When one of the Wolverines failed to complete a throw, Oosterbaan was generally beneath the basket to try his deadly short shots. IKent Commends Team Maurice Kent, basketball coach at. Northwestern university, who scouted the Purdue team last night, made the following comment in regard to Mich- igan's offense: "At the close of last season, Michigan had the strongest of- fense I have ever seen in the Con- ference, but after tonight's game I am inclined to believe that the Wolverines are stronger this year. Undoubtedly the Oosterbaan-Harrigan combination beneath the basket is the greatest in the Big Ten. Oosterbaan is certainly a great player." - After a short period at the begin- ning of the game, Purdue found the Michigan defense almost impregnable. The Boilermakers found few opportun- ities to shoot, and when they had pos- session of the ball they were forced to try to score from long range. Purdue's passing attack was ineffective for the most part, Chambers and McCoy fea- turing in snatching the ball away from the Purdue players when they started for the basket. On the other hand, Michigan had little trouble in getting near the basket, bringing the ball nea the goal on short passes and by tge spectacular dribbling of Harrigan. Close Game Expected During the first five minutes of play the game gave prorhise - of being.an exceedingly close contest, but when the Boilermakers reached the five point mark, they seemed to strike a lull and Michigan scored ten points before the Boilermakers could break into the scoringscolumn again. By the end of the first half, Michigan had amassed 21 points to 9 for Purdue. CueC1a c a, av u. g p France and Italy definitely opposed, President Coolidge is in a position to determine with reasonable accuracy the chances of success with which a( new attempt on his part to promote a supplemental naval agreement may be undertaken. The British reply to the American conference suggestion, regarded offi- cially as a categorical acceptance, was made public today without comment from the White House or State de-' partment. While it outlines certain- I aspects of British naval policy that must b~e considered, it leaves the ex-! act means by which priicples of the Washington naval treaty might be extended open to future discussion. It also cautions as to the necessity of "capital adjustment" of the proposed naval conference with the work of Geneva preparatory commission. Most officials believe that the mat- ter now has passed into the realm of informal diplomatic exchanges. Pos- sibly these are already in progress 1 and will be continued between the delegations of the naval powers when they resume in Geneva, March 21, the deliberations of the preparatory commission. FLEE TWEATHERS ARCTIC STORMS WISCONSIN LOSES I TO ILLINOIS, 32-28 (By Associated Press) URBANA, Feb. 28.-Illinois shatter- ed Wisconsin's hopes for a first place tonight turning back the Badgers, 32 to 28. Wisconsin was leading at the half 14 tot 11 and the score was tied at 25 all with three minutes to go. Behr sank a basket and Andrews ,made a free throw good for the Badger's final point, while Dormn and Lidsay sent the ball through the hoop for Illinois and McKay and Lindsay secured three points more on free throws.
