Evidently the powers that
drew up the WVestern Confer-
ence cage schedule held a
grudge against Michigan, or
else the breaks are all against
the Wolverines
Whichever the case may be,
the fact still remains that the
Maize and Blue, not satisfied
with just having met Minne-
sota, Northwestern, I1111li n o i s,
and Minnesota again, all in a
row, m ust btuck up aainst a
powrfudl Ohio State qintet at
coluimbus tonight in the last
game before the start of the
second semester.
Whether or not the Wolverines
will be succesful tonigt in their ef-
fort to stop the mi hty Buckeye
cagers depends a lot on the condi-
tion of Hank Weiss, an Ohioan him-
self, who has been under the wea-
ther. for the past few days with a
light attack of flu.
Gopher Game Hurt.
Should Weiss beatable to take a
patin the battle Michigan's
chances would be a g-eat deal bet-
ter than they will be if the diminu-1
tive.guard is kept on the bench.
Still under the defeat adminis-
tered to them by Minnesota last
Saturday, the Wolverines will go
into tonight's battle determined to
ma MVht remaini-ng
hope they have for at least a tie
Vor the Big Ten title.
With Northwestern having gone
throuigh the first haf of the Big
Ten schedule without a single de-
feat to mar its record, the Wolver-
ineschances appear to be rather
im. The Wildcats still have to
meet Purdue twice, and Ohio State
and Michigan once, however, which
means that the Purple will still
have a hard row to hoe before it
can claim the title.I
- Wildcat Scores Same.
a.oth Michigan's and Ohio State's
records against the Wildcats are
each the same. Each of these teams
dropped a one point decision to the
defending title-holders, , and both
of the games were played on North-
western's home court. On the basis
of these statistics there ,seems to
be little to choose between the par-
ticipants in tonight's game.
Should IWeiss be able to take his
regular place at guard, the lineup
will remain the same as it has been
in recent games. Williamson will
handle ,the other guard position,
Garner will jump center, and Dan-
iels and Eveland will take care of
the forward berths. In case Weiss
does not play Shaw will be in at
guard.
The Buckeyes wil put a conglom-
eration of veterans and sophomores
on the floor against "Cappy" Cap-
pon's outfit. While two hold-over
guards from last year's team re-
main to give the Ohio State quin-
tet a certain balance and experi-
ence that it needs to get far in
conference competition, the three
men upon whom the Scarlet and
Gray will depend to score most of
the points, will 'be ophomores.
Colburnn and Fuggitt are the two
Ohio forwards, while Conrad will
jump center. Colburn was easily the
star of the Buckeye team during its
early season games, but hasn't
been going as well in their last few
starts. If he is off form, Brown may
replace him, but it is alm'ost cer-
tain that Colburn will at least start.

Writer Tells Things
as Seen That Make
Jp Personality.

1-
Things he had seen in speech and
print-things that combine to make
up the term "personality"-were
pictured to an audience of 1,500
persons last night in Hill Auditor-
ium by Johp B. Kennedy associate
editor of Collier's.
Speaking on "What Makes Per-
sonality?," Kennedy first defined
the term, gave to the audience the
essential qualities of personality,
and then described, by means of
events he had "covered" and "in-
terviews" he had secured, the way
in which these qualities stood out.
He drew for his audience illus-
trations of events he had seen
while a newspaper reporter, rang-
ing from a championship prize
fight and the radio debut of Jack
Dempsey to the execution of a
youth at Sing Sing .and the Scopes
trial a few years ago in Dayton
Tenn.m,-inwhioh vhea late Willia.-
Jennings Bryan and Clarence Dar-
row were the leading legal counsels.
Although not pointing out in ro-
tation the'qualities of personality,
Kennedy pointed out four: a sense
of humor, satisfaction with one's
self, happiness in ne's work, and
friendship. These, he said, are the
things going to make up the per-
sonality-the outward expressed of
the inward self-the soul.
He also said that the present
machine, or industrial civilization,
of which we are a part, affords an
equal, if not a better, chance to
reveal one's personality.
This, he cautioned, didn't mean
that one had to attain fame or for-.
tune to reveal this personality.

Elton J. Rynearson announced to-
night on the eve of a game with
Alma that four members of the
Michigan Normal College basketball
team, three df, whom have played
regularly, have been dropped for

were suspended for the remainder
of the season. They are Capt. How-

Contradiction of the stand taken
by Lawrence Preuss of the political
science department that the impor-
tation of liquor for the use of diplo-
mats is contrary to national and
international law has come from
Madison, Wis.
Prof. Pitman B. Potter, of the
University of Wisconsin political
science department, according to a
Big Ten News service dispatch, con-
tends that there is no precedent to
justify the prevention of the im-
portation of diplomatic liquors.
Quoting from the Wisconsin Daily.
Cardinal, the dispatch says:
"The importation of intoxicating
liquors by foreign diplomats is ab-
solutely legal and there is no
precedent to justify its prevention
according to Professor Potter of the
political science department and\
world-wide authority on interna-
tional law."
.f
ment of Preuss, Professor Potter isI
unique among political scientists in
contending that national statutes
should bow before international
laws.
Several letters have been received
from diplomatic officials in Wash-
ington praising Preuss' treatment of
the subject as being absolutely
sound. The excuse for continuing to
allow the practice is summed up in
their statement, "policies of expe-
diency warp the law."
