TAKE EARLY LEAD Badgers Held to Four Goals by Wolves' Stiff Defense. By Sheldon C. Fullerton Paced. once again by N4orm Dan- iels, who dropped 13 points more thrqugh the meshes, Michigan's basketball team r scored its second victory of the season over Wiscon- sin by a 33-13 count, last night at Yost Field House. The game was one of the ,slowest and most. unin- teresting that has been held on the local. court this season, with the Badgers, hard hit by ineligibility, proving no opposition at all for the more experienced Wolverines. Badger Defense Weak. While Michigan's tight defense Was limiting the Cardinals to only four field goals, all of them coming in the final period, the Badger guards were having a hard time in holding the Maize and Blue scorers from dropping in more points, the Wolverine leader especially bother- ing them with his numerous tries at under-the-basket shots. If Dan- iels had dropped in only half of the shots he tried there would be no question now as to the man who! would eventually pace the Confer- ence in scoring at the end of the season, bult in spite of the fact that he caged 13 points, many of his at- tempts rolled around the hoop and fell out. Coach "Cappy' Cappon sent 11 men into the game before the final whistle blew, but the hapless Badg- ers were powerless to stop any com- bination that Michigan placed on the floor. Captain Mary Steen, playing at forward, was the out- standing man for Wisconsin, the whistle several times robbing him of brilliant baskets from out past' the foul circle. Lead at Half Time. Michigan jumped into the lead shortly after the start and were never threatened afterwards. At half-time the Maize and Blue had piled up a 17-5 lead, which was in-' creased to 22-9 shortly after the start of the second half. From that' time on the Wolverine subs enter- ed the game, but had no more trouble than Michigan's regulars . had had previously.

LAFAYETTE, Ind., Feb. 29.--(P) -Purdue continued its leadership in the Big Ten by swamping Illi- nois, 34 to 19, here tonight. The Boilermakers had things their own way throughout the game.

Freshmen tryouts for The Mich- igan Daily will assemble in the staffl room at 3 o'clock, Tuesday after- noon, March 8, for preliminary in- struction and filing of names with David M. Nichol, '32, news editor. More than 50 underclassmen are expected to try out for the editor- ial staff, while many more will probably be added to the roll by the end of the week, Work bn the Daily will begin at once, the preliminary training period being used to aug- ment rather than precede actual ,journalistic experience this year. Eligibility for freshmen who wish to try out for The Daily on March 8 consists of a record of no mark low- er than C and one above C. Soph- omores, and other underclassmen wishing to try out on Tuesday, will have an equal chance with second semester freshmen, and positions on the editorial staff are now open for such prospects. Previous news- paper experience, while a great as- set, is by no means a prerequisite. Several incentives for Daily work ahve been indicated by members of the upper staff during the first se- mester at freshman gatherings. High dampus -standing, honorary recognition in campus societies, ac- tual experience on a daily newspa- per, and some financial return are among the facts which have been stressed. The small number of re- porters now on the staff gives this year's freshman an additional op- portunity to gain a place on the Daily. SOPH PROM FAVORS Additional favors for those who filed to obtain them at the Soph Prom will be given out today at the Union. Ticket stubs must be presented in order to obtain fa- vors.

Dr. Oharles A. snK, president of the School of Music, last night con- firmed reports that Goeta Ljung- berg, Swedish prima donna soprano of the Metropolitan Opera company, would sing on the May Festival pro- gram. Arrangements for the Metropoli- tan star to come to Ann Arbor were made when she consented to stay in this country for a few weeks fol- lowing the close of the opera sea- son. The signing of the contract with Miss Ljungberg adds still another to the already famous array of art- ists that will appear on the May Festival program. Included in this list are Beniamino Gigli, tenor; John Charles Thomas, baritone, and Chase Baromeo, bass. Miss Ljungberg made her Metro- politan debut Jan. 20 in New York, following a series of triumphs at the State Opera, Berlin, and Co- vent Garden, London.

LANSING, Feb. 29-(A)-A formal call for a special session of the leg- islature to consider tax relief will be issued by Governor Brucker tt- morrow, but he is far from settled upon the program he hopes to have enacted. The governor announced today that from now until the session convenes, he will spend many of his working hours behind closed doors, formulating relief plans. He has invited members of the legislature, representatives of business, agri- cultural, finance, industry a n d property owners to meet with him here. All speaking engagements except three or four which were scheduled some time ago will be cancelled and no invitations will be accepted, the governor said. The call itself, aside from fixing, the date for the openig of the ex- tra session, probably March 29, will give no indication .of what the gov- ernor hopes to accomplish. It will simply inform the members that they will meet here "to consider such matters as the governor shall submit." University, AA.H.S.

United States, Other Powers Cooperating in New Peace Move By The Associated Press. A proposal for truce at Shanghai and an international confer- ence to arrange ai final settlement of the Sino-Japanese conflict was accepted yesterday by the representatives of Japan and China on the League of Nations Council. The United States is participating in this new move for peace, as are Great britain, France and Italy. All four have important in- terestsin Shanghai. In hopeful tones both the Chinese and Japanese representa- tives at Geneva gave their support to the peace plan and promised to recommend immediate acceptance to their governments. Both Geneva and Shanghai were optimistic over peace-but that made no difference to the men in the battle lines. This morn- ing Chinese infantry men swept across Chapei and broke the Jap- anese defenses in a surprise attack. The Japanese called fot help from their big guns, reformed and put on a counter attack i which they recovered most of the lost ground. Warfare May be Carried Inland. Japan gave formal .warning to the Chinese mayor of Shanghai that if Chinese reinforcements were brought in the warfare would be carried inland 50 miles by the Japanese bombing planes. Thqi mayor was informed that both the Shanghai-Nanking and the Shanghai-Hangkow railway would be bombarded and that all mili- tary trains would be destroyed. The Tokyo foreign office was informed that 100,000"Soviet Rus- sian troops had been massed in the vicinity of Vladivostok in prep- aration for what is considered in Russia to be an inevitable conflict with Japan. The Japanese consul at Vladivostok said that an iodine factory had been converted for the manufacture of pgison gas. The Japanese government at Nanking decided to launch a puni- tive expedition against the new Manchurian-Mongolian state established under Japanese auspices, and to resumediplomatic rela- tions with the Soviet government which were broken off in 1929. Enumerate Bases for Conference. The peace proposal was phrased thus:- "A conference. would be set up immediately at Shanghaicoem- posed of representatives of the governments of China and Japan, together with the representatives of the interested great powers, for the purpose of bringing about a final conclusion of the fighting and restoration of peaceful conditions in the Shanghai area. , "This conference 'would be undertaken on the basis that: 1. Japan has no political or territorial designs and no intention of establishing a Japanese settlement at Shanghai or otherwise ad- vancing the exclusive interests of the Japanese ; and 2. China enters the conference on the basis that the safety and integrity of the international and French settlements must be pre- servedundermarrangements which will secure those areas and their residents from danger; and 3. The meeting of this conference is, of course, subject to mak- ing local arrangements for the cessation of hostilities. The council trusts that this will be brought about very speedily. "It is proposed that. the military, naval and civilian authorities of the principal powers represented at Shanghai will give all, nossible assistance in consolidating these arrangements." FIRST!
