CHAS. WILSON VICTIM
Pilots Found Dead in Wreckage
of Planes; Neither
Was Burned.
NEW BALTIMORE, Mich., Dec.
17.-(/P)--Mimic warfare by eightl
Army airplanes f r o m Selfridge,
Mich., resultec in tie death of
three fliers near, here today, as two
of the planes collided in mid-air
and crashed in a field.
Second Lieut. Lawrence W. Koons,
23, Bloomington, Ill., and Second
Lieut. Charles W. Wilson, 22, Air
Corps Reserve, Ann Arbor, Mich.,
pilots of the two planes, were un-
able to free themselves fro their
ships and crashed to death. Sgt.
Walter Lauver,, 26, Big Cove, Pa.,
attempted a parachute leap to a
height of 50 feet. His body was
found 200 yards from one of the
wrecked planes, the parachute half
opened.
The planes were part of a group
4engaged in mimic warfare drill in
the vicinity of Selfridge Field. Sgt.
Lauver and Lieut. Koons were fly-
ing beneath the central formation,
and the crash occurred w h e n
Koons' plane nosed up, striking the
single-seater ship piloted by Lieut.
Wilson.
Parachute Useless.
Both planes went into side slips
after the collision, and the pilots
apparently had no chance to use
their parachutes. The planes fell
in adjoining fields, 300 yards apart.
Both pilots were found dead in the
wreckage. Neither plane caught
fire.
Lieut. Koons was a regular pilot
attached to the pursuit group at
Selfridge Field, while Sgt. Lauver
was training as an observer. Lieut.
Wilson, a reserve officer, was drill-
ing, with the Selfridge squadron.
All were attached to the 17th pur-
suit group. The scene of the acci-
dent is two miles southeast of Sel-
fridge Field.

AW SHUCKS!r
E Michigan Fifteenth in Size
of Nation's Colleges.
Local pride which repeatedly
ranks the University of Michigan
among the first five universities of
the nation in respect to size has
been justifiably exploded. Figures
from the department of interior list
fourteen institutions of higher
learning as having larger student
bodies than Michigan. Columbia
leads the list with 36,000.
Five Big Ten institutions outrank
Michigan in s.ize: Chicago, Illinois,
Minnesota, Ohio State, and Wiscon-
sin, according to the figures.
Local feeling can at least be
soothed by the fact that the report
based on the department of in-
terior's figures spells the name of
our city in the usual way, "Ann1
Harbor."

Wolverines Win With Only 45
Seconds to Go; Display
Strong Defense.
By John Thomas
I Emmy Reid received a backhand
1 pass from Kieth Crossman and
hushed the puck into the net with
less than 45 seconds of the last
period remaining. to be played, to
win, 3 to 2, from the fast skating
Western Ontario hockey team last
night in the Coliseum before 600
frenzied spectators.-
Western Ontario had tied the
score on a lucky break after half of
the final session had been played-
Marsden took the puck on a re-
bound off the wall and battedit
towards the goal. Michigan's right
defenseman, Chapman, in an effort
to clear the rubbei' from in front of
the goal accidentally bounced it off'
his stick into an unprotected cor-
ner of the net. Marsden was given
credit for the point.
Have Strict Defense.
Michigan opened up then and
took all kinds of shots but could,
not get the puck past goalie Bowen.
Both teams were going at top speed
in an effort to break the tie but
strick defenses kept all attempts at
bay until Crossman and Reid finally
broke through the Canadians' sec-
ond line and scored.
Frequent tumbles resulted from
the fast play of this third and the
crowd kept up a continuous cheer
throughout the twenty minutes of
skating. Chapman recovered after
making the unfortunate play to tie
the score for the visitors and was
the bulwark' of Michigan's defense
in the last few minutes.
'dar~Seeres.' -
Marsden opened the scoring two
minutes after the starting whistle,
by taking a pass from James and
cutting across in front of Tomp-
kins to pound the puck into a cor-
ner. Crossman came back a minute
later and evaded the defenses. He
hooked a pass to Reid to score
while outwitting the opposing goal-
ie.
After, this scoring spree both
teams settled down to regular hoc-
key, driving the puck towards the
opponent's goal until stopped and
then rushing back on defense. Arm-
strong, wingman for the visitors,
showed that he was the fast skater
that advance dope had marked him
to be, but Chapman and McCollum
kept his charges from resulting in
scores by rugged body checking.
This hard first period slowed him
down and he did not threaten
Michigan in either of the other two
periods.
Crossman took the rubber down
the ice through three Western On-
tario skaters until he was stopped
by the last defense man, McCallum.
David skated in fast to cover the
center ice in front of the Cana-
dians' goal, reached out and hooked
the puck from under the feet of
Crossman and McCallum. It was a
simple matter to push it into the
net and this goal put Michigan in;
the lead.
Reid and Crossman formed Mich-
igan's best puck-passing combina-
tion again last night. These two
veterans were the key of the Wol-
verine offense and they did most
of the shooting. Their long shots
were raised off the ice and true to
the goal every time but consistent
saves by Bowen kept any of the
long shots from scoring.
Christmas Greetings
I welcome this opportunity to
extend to you our best wishes for
a happy holiday season. To those
who will spend Christmas at
home may I say that the Uni-
versity is proud to be represented
by you and believes that it merits
your loyalty and esteem. We
hope you will carry to your com-
munities the greetings of your
University and something of the
ideals of the institution. To
those who will remain in Ann
Arbor, we suggest that you feel
that you are in a real sense at
home for from now on each loyal
student has two homes-a pater-
nal one and an "alma maternal"
one.

Rioters Storm Newspaper Plant,
Nationalist Headquarters
at Nanking.
(By Associated Press)
Chinese troops fired on rioting
university students who wrecked a
newspaper plant and Kuomintang
(Nationalist) headquarters at Nan-
king yesterday.
The students cleared away theirl
own wounded and it was impossible
to determine how many had fallen.
The demonstration, staged against
China's "weak" policy toward Ja-
pan, took place as southern Na-
tionalist leaders arrived in Nanking
to set up a new and stronger gov-
ernment.
Sun Fo, son of China's first presi-
dent and one of the principal mem-
bers of the southern group, declared
the new administration would in-
augurate a stiffer policy in connec-
tion with Manchurian affairs and
would "exert every effort to recover
our lost rights and lost territory."
Japanese civilian authorities in
Mukden said prospects for a blood-
less settlement of the controversy
over Chinchow were increasing.

yesterday cast their cares aside and N
took leave of Ann Arbor for the 1

terminate their persistent drivesI

With the bus companies and theu

The transition from college to
professional activity in the life of
the average young man is described
by Richard H. Harrington, '25E, De-
troit engineer, in the latest edition
of the Michigan Technic, out today.
"This transition from academic
atmosphere and college society to
professional atmosphere and urban1
society can only be understood,"
Harrington says, "by studying the
personal character and type of the
individual."
So he picks out the case of one
student who received his Bachelor1
of Science degree in chemical engi-
neering here in 1925, his Master's
degree, specializing in metallurgy
in 1926, and his doctor's degree in
metallurgy in 1929. This student
had also worked as a teaching as-
sistant in metallurgy from 1926 to
1929. The student had not belonged
to any fraternity but had been con-
nected with the baseball and track
teams and had entered into social
activities such as dancing and can-
oeing.
Then came the transition. He had
not considered what he would do,
when out of college until he had
completed his examination for the
doctor's degree. Now, he received
offers from various firms and de-
cided to try one large Chicago elec-
trical firm. But here he found little
freedom, an army system of regu-
lation, dirty, and cupboard-like liv-
ing quarters. He naturally did not
accept the position.
Harrington then relates how the
young man got in touch with the
General Electric company at Sche-
