NEW ORLEANS, May 7.-Driven
riotously before the flood current, the
waters of the Mississippi had reached
new high levels tonight over a long'
stretch from Donaldsonville to An-,
gola.
Record stages also were recorded'
at places along the Old river, which
empties into the Mississippi north of
Baton Rouge, and which is receiving
flood waters from the Red, Ouchita,
Tensas and Black rivers as well as.
from the great crevasse and back
water lake spreading in northeastern
Louisiana.
Watch Crest Waters
In announcing this situation on the
two rivers, the weather bureau re-
iterated its warning that every pre-
caution should be taken to guard"
against the stages above New Orleans
with the approach of the crest, which'
now is south of Vicksburg, approxi-
mately half way between Memphis and,

of liberal cooperation in the peace
# move in Nicaragua were born out in
a measure today in telegrams frorc,
Henry L. Stimson, President Cool
idge's personal representative on thel
ground.
He reported that General Monterra,
Liberal commander-in-chief, was co-
operating to some extent with the
[Diaz conservative government in set-E
ting up a temporary governmental
structure to tide over the period until
an American supervised presidential
election is held in 1928.
President Diaz had accepted a sug-
gestion from Monterra to name im-
portant Liberals as governors of the
six departments of the country where
:the Liberals are in a majority. The
step is expected by Washington of-
fioials to facilitate materially the gen-
eral disarmament plan, leaving
American marines to police the coun-
try until a non-partisan constabulary
under American officers is organized.
Mr. Stimson again expressed his
conviction today that the civil war
.vas 'over despite refusal of Monterra?
and some other Liberals to ratify
any peace agreement that contemplat-
ed retention of the presidency by Diaz
until the election. While they con-
tinued to hold out on that score,
Mr. Stimson indicated that in all prac-
tical matters the Liberals were lend-
ing their assistance in the pacifica-
tion work and that the de facto co-
operation between Diaz and hisibi b..-
eral opponents had been established
Disarmament of both Liberal and
Conservative armies was to have been
completed today.

Michigan Displays Erratic Fielding1
And Weak Biating In Losing
'Tird Came Of Season
iMichigan relinquished the few hopes
she had of remaining in the race for
the Big Ten baseball championship
by bowing in defeat before the Uni-
versity of Illinois, the present leaders
of the Conference standing, 6-1, yes-
terday afternoon, in a game marred
by the usual erratic fielding and poor
hitting ability of the Wolverines.
If Michigan was considered a con-
tender for the title, Illinois can be
easily named as the real championship
team of this season's race. Illinois
showed major league class in its field-
ing and base running in contrast to
the mediocre style displayed by the
Michigan nine. The Indians continued
their heavy hitting pace, gaining 12
hits off of Miller, the star of the Wol-.
verine pitching staff, while Michigan
had great difficulty in hitting the of-
ferings of Stewart. The Wolverinest
got only one hit in the first five inn-
ings, but fiinally showed a faint sign
of the hitting power which aided them

2,000 WATCHSTRUGGLE'
Outnumbered more than three to
one, and with the defeat in Friday's
tug-of-war as a handicap, the sopho-
mores went down to defeat after a
bitterly contested struggle with the
first year men yesterday morning at
Ferry field in the annual Spring games.
The final score of the games, countingi
the two points for the tug-of-war,
gave the class of '30 a four to one
advantage.
The first event of the morning, the
relay race, resulted successfully for
the sophomores when the ten steeple-
chasers, running in relay, beat the
freshmen by a considerable margin.
Eight feet barriers and barrels con-
stituted the obstacles, and the last
seven men hurdled the barrels rather
than going through them. The class
of '29 took the event by about a,
quarter of a lap.
Later events proved, however, that
the point won in the obstacle relayI
was to be the only score of the game
for the sophomores. The cane spree,
with 11 men from each side was next
and when the smoke of battle had
cleared away it was found that the
green youths had garnered eight of,
the canes. Two were won by the
sophomores and the eleventh was a
tie.

Schraesand Establishes New Record
in :Discus Throw By Exceeding
lnoyle's Former Mark
Taking nine first places, tieing for
first in another, and scoring slams in
two events, the Michigan track team
defeated Iowa yesterday afternoon by
a score of 78 to 57 in the first Big
Ten outdoor dual meet of the season
for the two schools. One Ferry field
record was broken.
The Wolverines trailed the Hawk-
eyes through the greater part of the
meet, never having the lead from the
second event -to the twelfth when
SMaizeand Blue runners took all three
places in the half mile to bring the
score to 56-52 in favor of Michigan.
Good Marks Feature
To have three men on the same
team making throws of better than
140 feet and two of them more than
150 feet in the hammer wasone of
the outstanding features of then meet,
The Michigan slam was even more
of an accomplishment in view of the
fact that three Iowa nien placed in
the national collegiate meet last year.
Ketz, won yesterday with a mark of
153 feet 1-2 inch, while Campbell
turned in the best performance of
his college career to take second with
152 feet.
Ted Hornberger completely aveng-
ed his defeat by Hunn, in the Con-
ference indoor meet by leading the
Hawkeye distance star to the tape by
25 yards yesterday. At the half mile
mark Hunn and Hornberger were in
second and third place, at the mile,
however, the Iowa pace setter drop-
ped out, and the race resolved itself
into a two man duel, and at the end
of six laps Wuerful was the only run-
ner left. After trailing close on
Hunn's heels for the entire race,
Hornberger opened up a sprint on the
last turn that carried him to the tape
a winner by a wide margin In 9:45.
The time at the half was 2:18, and at
the mile, 4:49.
Jack Lovette, with firsts in the
javelin and shot put, was high point
man of the meet. Everingham was
next with nine points scored on a first
in the 220 yard dash, a second in the
100. and a third in the broad jump.
Northrop, Cuhel, and Hester each took
a first and a second.
Lovette Wins Shot Put
His mark of 46 feet 5 inches in the
shot was the best performance Lo-
vette has ever turned in, his best pre-
vious record being 44 feet 10 inches.
Capt. Phil Northrop did not compete
in the javelin, throw because of a
'sore arm, but Lovette's throw of 179
feet 1-4 inch was 10 feet more than
that of the best Hawk entry.
Schravesand made a new, Ferry
field record for the discus on his first\
throw, 142 feet 2 inches. This super-
seded Doyles mark of 141 feet 1 inch,
made last year.
A slight wind blowing from the
southeast made good times in the
runs difficult, but Baird ran the 440
yard dash in :49.6 in spite of it. It
was a notable feature that Mueller
and Ohlheiser of Michigan who fin-
ished second and third did under :50.
The hurdle races brought a direct
reversal of dope when Cooper ran a
great race in the 220 yard lows to
beat Cuhel out Jt the tape after fin-
ishing third to Allison and Cuhel in
the highs where he was favored to
win. Cooper's time of :24.4 in the lows
was very good in view of the wind.
Hester Takes Dash
Buck Hester took the 100 yard dash
from Everingham of Iowa by more
' than a yard, but lost to hin in the 220
in a blanket finish a few minutes
later. Scarcely a yard separated the
first three men in the event. Lasser
took third in both races.
The broad jump resulted in Ever-
ingham, winner of the event at the
Kansas Relays, being defeated by
Dahem, a comparatively unknown
Wolverine who took second. Northrop
won with a lean of 22 feet 10 1-2
inches. The captains' duel in the pole
vault resulted in a victory for Boyles
of Iowa at 12 feet 8 3-4 inches.
E4lliot won a comparatively unin-
teresting race in the mile in the time
|of 4:29.8.
