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.

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.

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 - -- - - - - [ [t [ ] ] ] [C [ ] ] LAW VICE PRES. r ] New Orleans.

New evacuations are going forward in the face of rising waters along several rivers in south central Louisi- ana and the list of the needy is ex-1 pected to reach 350,000 soon. The figures include more than 180,000 per- sons who are refugees in the 64 con- centration camps, four new camps having been added since the last figures were issued. The remainder are receiving food and other help int their flooded homes, upper floors of store buildings and places where they elected to seek refuge until the waters recede. The total vaccination for typhoid reached 119,000 persons with those for smallpox at 108,000.

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. C [ ] ] Student Co (All Men vo PRESIDEN (Vote for O C [ ] ] COURTLAND C.I JOHN T.

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.
