Withdrawals numbering 587

up to Feb. 26, according to fig-

office yesterday. Of this number
427 were men and 160 were wo-
men.
More than 528 students have
enrolled in the University this
semester, which brings the total
registration so far this year up to
9694. There are now only 9107
students in residence, however.
The total registration last year
at this same time was 10,005. This
shows a decrease of 311 in the total
number of students this year.
Marks, Money Factors.
Although the figures are not yet
complete, 104 men and 21 women
have already withdrawn due to poor
scholastic work. This number will
increase considerably during the
next two weeks, according to Miss
Marian Williams, statistical assist-
ant, who said that many with-
drawals have not gone through the
office as yet.
Financial conditions were the
reason given by 74 men and 21
women for leaving school last se-
mester.
A number of students withdrew
because they were able to obtain
work. Figures show that 39 men
and 9 womeh left for this reason.
Health forced 46 men and 24
women out of school, and 75 stu-
dents left for reasons not stated.
Figures Not Complete.
Students who graduated in Feb-
ruary numbered 60 men and 20
women. More than 70 students left
because they had completed their
work here, most of them graduate
students.
Many students have withdrawn
from the University already but as
they have not filed their applica-
tions for a refund, there is no rec-
ord of their withdrawals. Students
are given six months in which to
make this application, after which
time they automatically forfeit
their rebate.
A number of students who paid
only 60 per cent of their tuition
have left, and there has been no
check made on them as yet.
More accurate figures will be
ready within two weeks, Miss Wil-
liams said.

Deferred Rushing Marathon Enters
Home Stretch With Dinners 7 oday

At 1 o'clock this afternoon the fi-
nal lap of the deferred rushing
marathon will officially begin.
Since last Friday, fraternities
have been busy calling the 650 el-
igible freshmen to make dates for
the intensive rushing period. They
have also been busy trying to figure
out the deferred rushing rules.
Most of the first year students
have been afraid to leave their
rooming honses for fear that they
will not be home when the house
for which they have been waiting
calls for dates.
And in the meantime, the land-
ladies have been complaining that
they spend their entire day running
to and from the phone and that
whenever they want to call up the
grocer the line is busy.
The rules of the intensive rush-
ing period are a trifle involved.
Fraternities may have not more
than three dates with one fresh-
man. They may not have more
than one date in one day with one
freshman

a decisive battle.
The Japanese announced they
finally had succeeded in taking the
village, but an Associated Press
correspondent established on a tour
of inspection that the Chinese de-
fenders still were holding up.
Supplies were being carried in to
them through a narrow communi-
cation line to the rear. Men carry-
ing food and ammunition were
harassed by Japanese ammunition
while they hastened through the
"neck of the boittle."
Troop Ships Arrive.
Two Japanese troop ships, the
first of a fleet bearing reinforce-
ments from Japan, arrived off the
Woosung forts.
General Tsai Ting-Kai, Chinese
commander, announced that the
Nanking government had sent two
more divisions to reinforce his
army.
United States consular officials
in Shanghai assigned all American
residents to concentration points
for use in case it became necessary
to evacuate the ity.
In Tokyo it was learned on high
authority that 4apan is ready to
use her air fore6 and her navy in
interior China to prevent Chinese
from reinforcing their troops at
Shanghai.
To Use Air Raids.
The navy will be ordered to stop
troop movements down the Yangtse
river and air raids will be employed
to prevent the Chinese from bring-
ing up reinforcements by land. A
Japanese government spokesman
asserted that the Shanghai conflict
was almost war on a national scale.
The Japanese representative at
the League of Nations council at
Geneva submitted a proposal to set-
tle the Shanghai conflict by estab-
lishing a neutral zone about the
city to be occupied by the troops of
the Great Powers.
COINCIDENICE!
Intoxicated Driver's Namne Is
Same as Police Chief's.
To the many ways already in ex-
istence for trying to escape sen-
tence for traffic violation, an Ann
Arbor man yesterday added a new
and original, (if successful), one.
Brought to Chief Thomas O'Bri-
en's police office on the charge of
driving while intoxicated, he gave
his name to the sergeant in charge
as Thomas O'Brien.
The name proved to be authentic,
but quick thinking on the part of
the sergeant convinced him that
this fellow didn't look much like
the chief, and that the chief prob-
ably wouldn't require artificial
stimulation to enjoy a drive, so he
sent O'Brien to jail anyway.
Active at Conference

to 22 victory over the strong
Minnesota team in the Intramural
pool last night, taking seven out
of the eight events and bettering
three conference and one national
collegiate record. More than 1,000
persons witnessed the meet.
In the water polo game which
folowed the swimming meet the
Wolverines defeated the Gophers,
winning 7 to 4.
TheMaize and Blue splashers
turned in a remarkable perform-
ance in the 300-yard medley relay,
bettering the national collegiate
mark of 3:09 with a time of 3:06.6.
Johnny Schmeiler swimming the
crawl in this race bettered Darnall's
record for the 100-yard free style
by one second covering the distance
in 52.8.
Taylor Drysdale, hard pushed by
Moulton of the Gophers, swam the
150-yard backstroke in 1:43, one
second lower than the Big Ten
record. In the 100-yard free style
race Schrneiler bettered Darnall's
conference mark of 53.8 by one-
fifth of a second.
One of Michigan's surest Olympic
bets, Dick Degener, turned in a
superb performance on the spring
board finishing with the high point
total of 135.85. Michigan's only loss
was in the breast stroke in which
Louie Lemak led the field until the
last half lap when Andre of Min-
nesota forged into the lead to win.
Last night's meet threw further
light on the Northwestern encoun-
ter a week hence, in that Michigan
defeated the Gophers by a wider
margin than the Wildcats did.
Northwestern scored a 45 to 30 win
over the Northmen.

MARQUETTE FALLS,
4-3; TO -MICHIGAN
Reid, Crossman Pull Game Out
of Fire in Last Twenty
Seconds of Play.
By John W. Thomas
Michigan's clever scoring duo,
Emmy Reid andKeith Crossman.
pulled another hockey game out of
the fire last night on the Coliseum
ice in the last twenty seconds of
play, by defeating Marquette 4-3.
The Hilltoppers opened the sec-
ond game of the series with a quick
goal as Olson hooked a, long shot
from the side past Tompkins and
into the corner of the net. The puck
flew so fast that Michigan's cap-
tain did not have a chance to stop
it. David retaliated later in the
period when Crossman passed to
him on the red line. The wingman
encircled the defense and pushed
the puck over the outstretched
Tompson.
Furlong gave his team another
lead at the start of the second ses-
sion by beating Tompkins to a'
loose puck in front of the cage.
Then McIntyre extended the lead
later by lofting the disk over a
pileup and into the net with less
than two minutes to play. Cross-
man stole the puck from Elnes and
shot a quick pass to Reid who
passed back. Then Keith forced his
way through the defense and gave
it to Reid, who scored spectacularly
with but 20 seconds to go.
Early in the last session Cross-
man passed to his scoring partner
who set the puck up for him in
front of the net and Michigan's
stellar center batted it in. Both
teams opened up with radical play
in an effort to break the tie but
sensational stops by both goalies
held the offenses scoreless.
With but one-quarter of a min-.
ute to go, Reid took a quick pas,
from Crossman and scored. A mix-
up in front of the net gave Keith
a chance to pass and opened a hole
at the corner for Reid's shot.

IOWA CITY, Ia., Feb. 27.-
Michigan defeated the University
of Iowa basketball quintet, 35 to
27, last night.
Two Michigan scoring aces,
Daniels and Weiss, accounted for
nine of the visitors' 13 field goals,
making eight in the first period.
The Wolverines started strong
and were never headed although
Iowa once pulled up, 27 to 28, in
the last four minutes of the game.
The Iowans rallied shortly after
the second half got under way to
threaten the Wolverine margin,
but after they got within one
point of tying the score, Altenhof,
and Eveland of Michigan coun-
tered from the floor to give the
visitors a safe margin.

ORATORICAL ASSOCIATION BRINGS
HUBERT WILKINS HERE MARCH 16

BANKRUPTCY REFORM PART OF
PROBLEM, PROF. SUNDERLAND

BIGGER
STATES

Oratorical Association, through
its manager, Henry Moser, yester-
day announced that Sir Hubert
Wilkins, noted polar explorer, would
give an illustrated lecture here on
March 16 in Hill auditorium.
The addition of Sir Hubert leaves
three lectures still to be given in
the series. Winston Churchill, per-
haps the greatest of English politi-
cal figures today, lectures here
Tuesday night. The series will close
May 1 with a talk by George W.

the geology department, a personal
friend of Sir Hubert, characterized
the pictures the explorer and scien-
tist will show here as "the best I
have ever seen." The pictures will
be of his submarine trip to the
Arctic.
Slight Cold Forces
Dr. Ruthven Indoors

Although aimed in the right
direction, President Hoover's recent
stand in favor of reforming the
bankruptcy laws hits only part of a
much larger problem and more
effective if based on a detailed
study of the entire situation ac-
cording to Prof. Edson R. Sunder-
land, of the law school.
Not only bankruptcy proceedings
but the administration of insolv-
ency in general as it relates to the
failure of banks, corporations, and

sible for liquidating the remains of
a defunct concern, it was said. As
an example of the maladministra-
tion of business failures, Professor
Sunderland said that often when
a company was on the rocks, the
very people best suited for bring-
ing about the least disastrous cul-'
mination were put to one side and
others intrusted with responsibility.
Our state laws covering the same
field are not markedly better than
those of the national government,
he brought out.

Announcement...
Everyone from presiden-
tial candidates to landlords

tion of their wares. And so

able to advertise if you
