team defeated the invading Cornell
squad for the fifth successive year, in
the 16th dual meeting between the two
schools since 1902, last night at Yost
field house. The score was 501/2 to
441/.
Don Cooper, star Wolverine hurdler,
who accounted for 10 points in the
meet for high individual honors by
winning first place in both the low
and high hurdles, shattered the first
field house mark of the meet by run-
ning the high hurdles in :08.4, cut-"
ting two-tenths of a second from the
time made by Voelker two years 'ago,
and equalling the dual meet record
made by Hubbard in 1923. To com-
plete this performance Cooper ran the
65 yard low hurdles in :07.5, tying
the dual meet and field house record
made by Hubbard, Michigan, in 1925.

WAShINGTON, March 26 -Fear
that a far flung storm of anti-foreign
terrorism may be brewing in China
gripped official Washington tonight,
almost submerging the belief that

icans at Nanking were safe.
Dread of what may happen else-

miral Williams at Shanghai for re-
inforcements. Another regiment of

Benson, out in front, was unable to
shake Hornberger from his heels, and
the Wolverine star did not attempt to
gain first place until the final lap.
Here the two battled in a fast sprint,.
with Hornberger coming from behind
in the final turn to finish in a dead
heat for first place. The time of
9:49.5 was more than 13 seconds be-
hind the dual meet time made by Is-
bell,j Michigan, in 1923, but cut :08.6
seconds from the field house record
held by Callahan, another Wolverine
distance man.
Lomont Wins Half Mile
The biggest upset of the day, and
the deciding factor of the meet, came
in the 880 yard run, where Cornell,
favored to score at least five points in
this event, cut down without a point,
while Lomont, Beals, and Pfluke fin-
ished in that order to add nine points
to the Michigan total.
Northrop, Michigan captain, and
Reed of Cornell engaged in an inter-
esting dual in thepole vault, but nei-
ther could clear the bar past 12 feet
6 inches. Prout, Northrop's team-
mate, tied for third with Williams,
Cornell's remaining entry. In the
high jump, however, N>rthrop was un-
able to hit his stride, and failed three
times at 5 feet 10 inches. Waldo, his
teammate, turned in a fine perform-
ance, clearing the bar at this height
to tie with Berry and Vollmer, Cornell,
for first honors, giving Michigan three
of the nine points.
Lovette Places Second
Jack Lovette, shot putter, made a'
mark of 44 feet 8 1-8 inches in his
event for a second place. Murray,
Cornell, placed third, giving his team
a six point total for this contest.
The relay proved to be a close race,
with Cornell winning by, a few feet
only. Leonard, Michigan's leadoff
man, gained seven yards on Mitchell,
running first for Cornell, before he
handed the baton to Barton. running

ROOEVLT TO SPEAK
HERE TUAYNHOT
Former Assistant Secretary Of Navy
Will Include A Description
Of Recent Trip To Asia
IS HARVARDGRADUATE
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., explorer
and former assistant-secretary of the
Navy, will speak Tuesday night in Hill
auditorium on the annual Oratorical
association lecture series. Mr. Roose-
velt will speak on "Ovis Poli and the
Red Gods," and wil include a descrip-
tion of his recent trip to Asia.
The speaker has been here several
times before under the auspices of the
Oratorical association. He is a gradu-
ate of Harvard, in the class of 1908,
and' received his honorary degree there
in 1919. Formerly he was director of
the Sinclair Oil and Refining company,
the White Manufacturing company, the
Broadway Improvement company, and
the White Motor company.
In 1919 he was elected to the state"
legislature of New York and upon his
accession to public office he resigned
all of his directorships.
In March, 1921, when Harding be-
came president the speaker was ap-1
pointed assistant-secretary of the
Navy, and he held the post for three
years. In the fall of 1914, when he
became Republican candidate for the
governorship of New York, he re-
signed his assistant's post in the cabi-
net.
He was defeated by Alfred Smith in
the election that followed and a year
later went with the Simpson-Roose-
velt-Field museum expedition,.
During the World war Mr. Roosevelt
served as commanding major and
later lieutenant colonel in the 26th
infantry. He arrived in France in
June, 1917, and served with the First
Division of the A. E. F. through the
battles of Cantigny and Soissons and
through the Meuse-Argonne and St.
Mihiel offensive. At the latter bat-
tle he was wounded and awarded the
D. S. C. by the United States, the Le-
gion of Honor and Croix de Guerre by
France, and the Grand Cordon of
Prince Danilo I and the War Cross by
Montenegro.
He assisted in the organization of
the American Legion in 1919, is a
member of the national executive
committee of the Boy Scouts of
America, is a trustee of the American j
Museum of Natural History, and
wrote a book, "Average Americans,"''
in 1919.
This will be the last speaker on the I
annual Oratorical association lecture
series, with the exception of Sen. Pat
Harrison, Democrat, Mississippi, who
has not yet anouncedl his dlate.

Watson's second place victory was1
especially notable since there was a

two weeks ago at Chicago.
Following the meet, Clifford Keen,
Michigan coach, expressed himself as1
satisfied with the work of his men

UR LBANA, 111.. March 26.-Michigan won its first Big Ten swim-
m1ing chalmpionship and scored the most number of points ever made
in a Conference meet, when it swamped Minnesota, its closest rival,
and seven otier foes in a record breaking meet in the new gymnasium
here today. M ichigani scored 49 points, 16 ahead of the Gophers, who
had an easy tine taking second place. Northwestern finished third with
14 points and Wisconsin fourth with 9, while Chicago and Illinois
tied for fifth place with six points each.
Paul Samson, Matt Mann's giant Wolverine who established two new
national collegiate records in the 220 and 440 free style swims in the pre-
liminaries hield here last night, broke his own mark in the 220 and came
within three seconds of tieing Johnny Weissmueller's American record of
2:15,2 established in 1925. Samson was content to swim an easy 440 and
allow his record of yesterday to stand.
Michigan created six of the. seven new records established in the cham-
pionship meet today and the preliminaries yesterday, while two of the
marks are likewise national collegiate
times set by Samson.

time of :53.8, in the 100 free style, buts
was .again victor in. that event.
Spindle created the fourth record
for the Wolverines when he defeated
Jim Hill of Minnesota, last year's
champion, in the 150 yard back stroke
and was timed in 1:46.2.
In the last event of the meet, the
medley relay race, Michigan set its
sixth record, when Seager overcame a
lead that Bennett of Minnesota had,
and won for the Wolverines. The time
of 3:18.6 broke the record set by
Northwestern in the preliminaries.
Kratz, Wisconsin, set the only other
new mark when he finished the breast
stroke in 2:43.6 in today's race to
break his own mark set in the pelimi-
naries.
Only One Reeord Stands
The 50 yard free style marks estab-
lished by Hershberger, Wisconsin, at
Ann Arbor last year was the only
record that withstood the onslaught
of the Michigan team. Hershberger
swam in the finals today, but failed
to place.
"Heinie" Groh, Illinois, won the only
other first place in the meet by de-
feating Wally Colbath, Northwestern
sophoinore, in the fancy diving con-
test.
