CE TITLE WISCONSIN TENNIS MATCH CANCELED (Special to The Daily) MADISON, May 19.-Wet courts caused the canceling of the tennis matches between Michigan and Wis- consin here today, keeping the Wol- verines from meeting another of the leading teams in the Conference race. There was a possibility of playing the matches tomorrow before the Wol- verines entrain for Minneapolis to en- gage the Gophers on Monday, but the Wisconsin Board in Control of Ath- letics refused its sanction. This leaves Wisconsin and Ohio, the only unde- feated teams, to settle the dual meet supremacy when they meet on June 2. ,SNATE SPENDS BUS SESSION OVER TAXS Reject Bingham Proposal To Abolish Federal Collections On Inheritnces Hurls Way To Sixth Conference Triumph hurdles. - Don Cooper led the losers with two firsts, one in the 120 yard high hurdlesl and another in the 220 yard lows, without even being pushed by the, Illini timber-toppers. The big Wol- verine was running in great form and bettered his own record for the lows established last year, by turning the 7 event in the fast time of :23.6. Captain Hester took the century, as was expected, in the fast time of :09.8l with Grodsky, his teammate a close second. The 220 also saw Michigan total eight markers, when their posi- tions were just reversed, Grodsky win-t ning in the good time of :21.6 withz fester in second place. Track Is Slow The dual encounter was held in con- junction with the thirty-second annual@ interscholastic events and was run over a rather slow track due to the unusually heavy rains of last night-. No outstanding marks were made witht the single exception of the pole vault which was, won by Barnes and White of Illinois with the bar at 13 feet. Randolph Monroe sprang a surprise to local track followers in the mileI by defeating Stine, McElwee, Novak, and Ponzer, Gill's great quartet of milers. At one time in the race three title holders were leading for the Or-t ange and Blue, Stine and McElwee outdoor champions, andNovak, indoorF title holder. The trio were passed by the plucky Wolverine runner on t. last lap to win in 4:29.5.t Michigan's list of first places was increased to six when Wilfred'Ketz tossed the hammer 157 feet 1 inch, and Knoepp made his best perform- ance of the year in the javelin to de- feat Glass and Girard with a throw of 176 feet 4 1-2 inches. One of the distinct surprises of the meet was the showing of "Cowboy" Nichol in the 440 dash, when he dem- onstrated that he is the fastest of the Illini quarter milers by breasting the tape in :50.2 to defeat Munger and Seymour of Michigan, while Chambers,1 a teammate, took second. Wuerfel Adds Three Points Ted Wuerfel added three more points to the Maize and Blue total in the two mile, when he handed Cap- tain Fairfield a defeat in the battle for second place, Abbott, the favorite, win- ning the event. In the track events the invading team outscored the illini in respect to first places as well as points. Michi- gan taking five firsts to three for the Gillmen, and annexing -40 of the 72 possible points. The Orange and Blue supremacy on the field, however, proved the decid- ing factor in the meet, the Indians outscoring the Wolverines 48 to 15 in the weights, jumps and pole vault. If the Farrellmenhad been able to score a few more points in the field events, the outcome of the meet might have proved to be different. The victory evened the 12 year re- cord between the two schools in dual meet competition, each having won six times. It also marks the first time that the Illini captured the verdict since 1925, three defeats having been sustained at the hands of Farrell- coached teams.

Chiefly it involves the estate tax row and party lines were non-ex- istent as the Senate 'rejected 43 to 30 the Bingham proposal to abolish federal collections on inherited wealth, and other proposals to modi- fy them. A handful of Senate bills were put through the House, then that body settled down to a drowsy afternoon of speechmaking. Aside from its expect- ed struggle with the farm relief veto and final action as to Muscle shoals, still in conference, it had nothing more to do of major importance be- fore it shuts up shop and sets out for Kansas City or Houston. Senate interchanges today over de- lay on tax legislation made it plain that all hands understood it is the Boulder dam fight which is imped- ing things legislative, although it was not specifically mentioned. A stormy plea from Senator Robinson, Demo- cratic field marshall, to catch up on the tax debate and make sure of ad- journment next Saturday brought no definite response.

All bondholders will have seats guaranteed between the 30 yard lines, and regular student, faculty, and alumni seats will occupy the rest of the stadium, which includes seats out- side of the 30 yard lines and on the ends. The plans for the cheering section are altered this year so that members of all four undergraduate classes may apply, inste'ad of restricting the cheer- ing section to the upper three class- es as was formerly the case. The choice of seats in the cheering sec- tion, however, will be automatically arranged so that the seniors will have the best seats, and so on down the scale. The ticket limits for the home games next year were also announced. Applications for tickets to three games will be unlimited. These are the Ohio Wesleyan, Indiana, and Michigan State games. The price of tickets for the Ohio Wesley'an game will be $2, and for the Michigan State and Indiana games $2.50. Tickets to the Wisconsin and Illi- nois games, which will be $3 apiece, will be limited to three to an individ- ual, including the ticket secured through coupon books, while tickets to the Iowa game, which are also $3, are limited to four to an individual. A large. number of tickets will be secured by the Athletic a'ssociation for the Ohio State-Michigan game at Co- lumbus. Railroad companies have 7romised greatly reduced rates to hose making the trip from Ann Arbor, and it is expected that a large number of students will follow the team to Columbus.

H. Evans,t general superintendent. He said that the rescuers had found 20 bodies in1 the main entry a 'half mile in the workings.r Shortly after the explosion rocked the districts, the mine telephones in a shed near the mine tinkled. This line carried word to the surface fromd the living tomb. Tom Callaghan, vet- eran iiner, was on the inside end. He said, "I have 15 men with me. We' are trapped some 3000 feet back. We are getting some good air, but we don't know how long it will last." PITTSBURGH, May 19.-The U. S. bureau of Mines rescue crews rushed from Pittsburgh tonight to Mather- Panama, in Greene county, where it was reported a terrific explosion had, occurred in a coal mine. The first re- ports were that many miners had been entombed. Led by the veteran rescue workers, George McCabe, the bureau's rescue crew went to Matherrbyeautomobile truck, fully equipped for rescue work. Rescue car Number three stationed at Nanty-Glo was also .orederd to the scene. When the Mather mine officials cal- led for help they said the mine was ton fire. Brownsville relatives of some of the miners who worked at Mather were advised that 13 men escaped after the explosion, and that between 150 and 175 men were entomnbed. The fire in the workings was reported to be sending clouds of smoke out of the shaft's mouth. The mine is owned by the Mather Collieries company. YALE CREW WINS OVER TWO RIVALS (By Associated Press.) DERBY, Ct., May 19.-Yale's un- beaten varsity eight finished four lengths ahead of Cprn'A r id six ahead of Princeton in the annual tri- angular regatta on the Housatonic here today. The Blue crew led all the way from the start. The official time: Yale 10:21; Cornell4 10:36; Princeton, 10:421-2. to bring Michigan's total to four. Wis- consin also made a desperate attempt to go 'ahead in their portion of the same inning but the rally was closed down after two Badgers had crossed the disc. Interest Is Tense The scoring was concluded, but/the game still held intense interest right up to the nm'oment when Cuisinier made a vain attempt to steal second following his single in the final frame. -While Michigan was thus continu- ing an unbroken string of victories, Illinois spoiled Iowa's hopes of a pos- sible title by taking -the first game of a double header with the Hawk- eyes 4 to 0. Coach Vogel's outfit came back to take the second encounter 4 to 2, but the upset inflicted by the Indians in the first game eliminated Iowa from the race and cinched the title for the Michigan nine. With but two Conference games left on the schedule, chances of the Wol- verines to go through the season with- out a blot one their record seem to be particularly bright. Ohio State is the only Big Ten team that can upset the Wolverines and regardless of the re- sults of these two games, Coach Fish- er's team will be the 1928 champions. Have 19 Victories Including the spring training trip, the Michigan team has won 19 out of 22 games. During the preliminary tilts, the Wolverines dropped a game to both Cincinnati and Vanderbilt which with the Harvard fiasco during the regular season have been the only defeats chalked up so far. The work of McAfee and Asbeck, the two aces on the Michigan pitching staff has been a strong factor in the sensational record made in the games against Conference opponents. As- beck in the opening ontest against Northwestern limited the Purple team to two hits both of which came in the ninth innings. McAfee, in his first two starts, hurled shutout ball, blank- ing both Purdue and Indiana. The same terrific hitting that has characterized every Michigan game this year was noted in the Wisconsin gsame whpm the / Wolverines came through with ten safe} hits. The day before playing against the tailend Wildcats at Evanston, the Varsity batsmen fattened their averages to the tune of 11 hits. These totalscame on top of a con- ference season which had netted the Varsity an average of .311 and it is safe to presume that the team average was little harmed in the two con- flicts that cinched the first undisputed championship in a major sport for Michigan in more than a year and the first baseball championship in two years. The score by innings of the Wiscon- sin game is as follows: Michigan........101 000 200-4 10 1 Wisconsin.......100 000 200-3 6 1 Batteries-McAfee and Reichmain; McAFEE LIMITS BADGERS TO SIX HITS WHILE MATES GET TEN BLOWS SCORE IN FIRST INNING Nine Has Opportunity To End Season Unbeaten; Two Games With Ohio State Remain (Special to The Daily) MADISON, May 19.-Michigan won its tenth consecutive game and cinch- ed the Big Ten baseball title as well by defeating Wisconsin here today 4 to 3 in a close game. McAfee, Wolver- ine hurler, turned in another well pitched game, limiting the Badger clubbers to six scattered hits while the slugging Michigan team was pounding Jacobson for 10 safe blows. The Wolverines got off to a one run lead in the opening frame but Wisconsin tied the score in their half. After another scoreless frame, Michi- gan again dented the rubber in the third. McAfee continued to mow down the batters in the Wisconsin lineup with ease while Jacobson escaped further punishment until the lucky seventh when he was taken for two more runs WOLVERINES DEFEAT WISCONSIN IN TENTH CONSECUTIVE VICTORY ARS IOWA SPLITS WITHILLINOIS PROFESSOR HOLBROOK BACKS NEW UNION CONSTITUTION AMENDMENT "The proposed amendment to the I Constitution of the Union, designed to put the offices of President and Re- cording Secretary on a merit basis, seems so desirable as hardly to be open to doubt," stated Professor Ev- ans Holbrook, professor of law and' financial secretary of the Union, in an interview yesterday. During his acquaintance with sev- eral student activities, Professor Hol- brook said that one after another, these activities have made a change have been' most obvious to any one who has observed the history of those activities," he stated. The proposed change involves six sections of the Union's Constitution and in the opinion of Professor Hol- brook these changes are of such a nature that they cannot fail to result in a far greater effectiveness of the Union in serving the student body.
