Robbins and James Kelly drove their single-motored monoplane "Fort Worth" on to- night through occasional misting rains toward an all-time record for aerial cruising. As the fliers passed the 124th hour in the air their motor sounded as efficient as it did last Sunday morning when they last touched earth. At 4:13 p. m. the fliers had only 27, more hours to stay aloft to es- tablish themselves as the cham- pion endurance fliers of the world. During the day, the last two rec-. ords separating Robbins and Kelly from the time established by the "Question Mark" fell. At 3:03 o'clock this morning the 112-hour record of the Graf Zeppelin went by the boards and Earl B. Mat- thews, one of the official timers, wrote in the log: "Adios Graf Zep- pelin. Your flight is ancient his- tory now." The 118th hour record established by the ill-fated French lighter- than-air machine, "Dixmude," was surpassed at 9:33 this morning. The record for sustained flight by two- man crews had been passed hours before as had the record for single- motored ships. The "Question Mark" carried three motors. Some wo, ry was expressed today, as it appeared possible that the fliers might try to break the record by days instead of hours, as to the length of time the barograph which the plane carries, would continue to register. The barograph records altitude and is a positive proof at the end of a flight that the plane did not come to earth at any time during the flight. Officials at Meacham Field here were of the opinion that the barograph was set to run eight days which would make it run out Monday morning.

EDDIE TOLAN -TIES COLLEG1ITEM AR RKF IN CENTURYlDASH Simpson Also Wins and Breaks Big Ten Record Michigan Retains Conference Lead By 2o I Vi'ctory (Special To The Daily) IOWA CITY, May 24.-Michigan continued its march to- ward the Western Conference baseball championship by winning a hard fought game from Iowa here today, 2 to 1. It was the fifth Big Ten victory for the Wolverines this season and as a re- sult the Hawkeyes, added to its list of victims, were eliminated from the race. The game was one of the hardest fought battles the two teams have engaged in so far this season. Iowa, with two defeats chalked against her, made a desperate but futile attempt to grab the game out of the fire and failed by inches. It was also a pitchers' battle, with McAfee, Michigan star, pitting his art against that of For- est Twogood, the ace of the Iowa mound corps, but pitching alone was not the deciding factor. What pitching couldn't do, fielding did. The Michigan team was all over the field, and in the ninth inning, when Iowa made its final gesture, the Wolverines cut the rally short with spectacular play att he plate. In the final inning, with two out, Glassgow tried a daring steal of home, the play failing to work, however. Iowa had scored its lone counter earlier in the inning on singles by Mowery and Glassgow, a sacrifice by Sahs, and Rath's high bounder. Michigan manufactured its count- ers in the sixth inning. Nebelung sin- gled, Centenni sacrificed, and after Captain Corriden struck out, Ruibi- cek was, given a base on balls. Both runners advanced on Twogood's wild pitch, and scored a moment later on a single by Weintraub. Twogood fanned nine batters to run his season's total to 44, three above the record by which he led the Conference's pitchers last sea- son. He needed only eight pitched balls to retire Michigan's "murder- er's row," Centenni, Corriden and Kubicek, in the fourth inning, striking out the latter two in straight throws. Twogood, in his duel with Mc- Afee, had much the better of the argument, permitting but five hits. McAfee, on the other hand, yielded seven. Weintraub led the Michigan attack by getitng two hits.
