With three days this week allot-
ted for the public sale of tickets
for "Forward March," the 25th an-
nual Junior Girls' Play, the box
office at Hill auditorium will be
open from 1:30 to 5 o'clock today
for the first sales. Tickets will be
on sale again tomorrow at the
same hours, and on Saturday from
10 to 5 o'clock. The tickets range
in price from $3 for box seats to
$ for balcony seats.
"Forward March," a travesty on
war and women, begins a week's
run at the Whitney theatre next
Monday night. It has been herald-
ed as being unique among musical
comedies, 'both' amateur and pro-
fessional, on account of its ex-
traordinary plot. There are to be
six evening performance, and a
matinee on Saturday, March 23.,
The first presentation is, accord-
ing to tradition, dedicated to the
senior women, and is known as
Senior Night. Friday 'night will be
formal night, and the Saturday'
evening performance is to be
Alumnae Night.
SCruses Larger
S"Forward March" is unusual for
its music and dancing, as well as
for its plot. Choruses larger than
any yet used in Junior Girls' Plays
are being drilled by Camilla Hubel,
chairman of dances. There are to
be a number of feature choruses,
and several specialty dances, one
of which is a toe specialty by Miss
Hubel. An attempt has been made
by the dance chairman to develops
personality in the 'dancing, and
choruses of spirit as well as good
technique are anticipated.
"Paris Bound" and "Right Out of
Heaven" are two of the songs
which are expected to prove popu-
lar with. the audiences. The title
song, "Forward March," is of a
military nature, and there will
also be a "blues" song. The lyrics
for the play have been written by
Lorinda McAndrew, chairman of
music, Frances Sackett, the author
Sof the play, and Molly Goodell. The
scores have been written by Miss
McAndrew, Retta McKnight, Jose-
phine Rankin, and Rachel Ramsey.
There is further assurance that
this year's Junior Girls' Play will
be a success in the fact that "For-
ward March" is being directed by
Phyllis Loughton, '28, who while on
the campus was active in the dra-
matic productions of Comedy Club
of Mimes and, who is now working
with Miss Jessie Bonstelle at the
Detroit Civic theater. Miss Lough-
ton directed her own Junior Girls'
IPlay two years ago.

MEXICO CITY, March 11.-The
government tonight announced
that its troops had caught up with
the rebel general, Urbalejo, fleeing
from Canitas, Zacapecas, and had
aken away 135 of his men. The
general escaped, however, with the
few soldiers remaining loyal to
hin.
Bulletin
MEXICO CITY, March 11.-Word
f a battle in which two rebel offi-
eers and three soldiers were killed
at Teotelo, and near Jalapa, state
of Vera Cruz, last Wednesday,
reached President Portes Gil only
tonight.
Jose Morlaes Ochoa, an Agrarian
leader, reported that he was im-
prisoned for three days at Jalapa
because he refused to join the
rebel cause. He managed to escape
and gather a small force with
which he proceeded to Teotelo.
After a three-hour battle he routed
a rebel detachment. The slain of-
ficers were General Uriel Martinez
and Col. Fabian Trachi.
(By Associated Press)
Definite crushing of the 1ebel
lion in Vera Cruz was reported in
Mexico City Monday as the great
nilitary machine of General Cal-
les was poised to- 'deliver a smash-
ing blow at the rebels in the north
with the largest concentration of
troops yet seen in the Mexican
revolution.
Tension that precedes decisive
battles characterized news of
troop movements. Both sides were
gathering forces.
General Calles was preparing to
march on Torreon and Durango,
both of which were occupied by
rebel garrisons, and had kept his
troops working night and day to
repair railroad lines north of fed-
eral headquarters and Canitas.
Send Reinforcements
The rebels were known to con-
trol territory as far south as Chi-
huahua City and train loads of
reinforcements were , frequently
passing through there for Juarez,
Nogales, and other northern
points.
Federals predict their speedy
occupation of both Torreon and
Durango, expecting rebel troops in
those garrisons to desert their
generals as soon as they have a'
chance to join the federals, just
as other rebels deserted General
Aguirre in Vera Cruz and Gen-
eral Urbalejo at Canitas Sunday.
Federal aviators planned to con-
tinue "peaceful bombardment" of
the rebels with tracts urging them
to loyalty of the government,
Check Rebel Advance
A dangerous rebel advance was
temporarily checked in Sinaloa,
where the federal general, Carril-
lo, was reported strongly en-
trenched with 2,000 loyal troops
in Mazatlan, barring the rebel
road to Mexico City and protect-
ing General Calles' left flank. Re-
bel scouting forces retu'rned to
Cuilacan.
Nine new airplanes, completely
equipped with machine guns and
bombing aparatus, were being
rapidly constructed for the feder-
al government in an American
factory. Mexican pilots were un-
der orders to gather.within three
days at the United States naval
air station at Anacostia, near
Washington, to fly the planes to
the battle front.

PROFESSOR WAITE OF LAW SCHOOL
FINDS DIVERSION IN CARPENTERING,
Two hobbies occupy tire spare
time of Prof. John B. Waite of the
law school. "When I can't get
some legal problem---when it is
all tangled up--I go to the base-
ment and start work on. a shelf,;
or a piece of cabinet making.
Wheir I come back to my study,
they are carried to such irrational
extremes."
Thre second hobby, through less
invigorating, occupies as much of
his interest. "The collecting ; of
Mexican opals", Professor White
continued, "is an inexpensive yet
highly enter taining pastime.
They seem to have become un-
