(Special to the Daily)
PATTEN POOL, EVANSTON, Ill., March 4.-Michigan won
six first places in eight events here tonight, and defeated Northwest-
ern's tank squad with a final score of 44 to 31. Johnny Schmeiler,
Wolverine, set a new National intercollegiate record in the 220-yard
free style race with the time of 2:15.1, lowering that of 2:16 held'
by Osborne of Yale.
After dropping the 400-yard relay event to the Wildcat team
of Troup, Debenham, Highland, and Wilcox, the Wolverines retal-
iated by taking three firsts and two seconds in the next three events.
Captain Miller paced the 200-yard breast stroke in 2:39 followed by
Schmeiler for second; Drysdale captured the 150-yard backstroke
with a time of 1:30.3; and Christy took the 440-yard swim in 5:03.4
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and Mrs. Lindbergh yesterday issued sev-
eral radio appeals to the kidnappers of their 20 months old son urging
that special care be taken in his diet.
The appeal was broadcast in French, German, Italian, and Spanish,
as well as English.
Fake Councilmenj
Warn Freshmen 0o
Rushing Violation
An official anouncement from
the offices of the Interfraternity
council last night disclosed the lat-
est student racket in regard to de-
ferred pledging.
In the last 24 hours there have
been numerous telephone calls to
fraternities and freshmen, it was
revealed, stating that the caller was
an officer of the Interfraternity
council and that the fraternity, or,
first year man, was being watched
by this body because of violations
of the rushing rules.
It was believed that these calls
were being made to prevent un-
fair rushing by fraternities.
Interfraternity council officers
denied all knowledge of these calls
and said that they had not been
made by anyone of official capac-
ity.
A warning to fraternities tell-
ing them that they should in no
way associate with first year men
until 6 o'clock, Monday night, was
issued by Howard Gould, secretary-
treasurer. Gould stated that fresh-
men should turn in their preference
lists to the office of the dean of
students by noon today. Frater-
nities and freshmen will be notified
as to the results of pledging on
Monday morning, it was announc-
ed. Formal pledgingdwill take
place at 6 o'clock Monday.
The preference lists will be
checked over by the office of the
dean of students and will be re-
checked by Howard T. Worden,
president of the Interfraternity
council, and Gould.
Fraternities with complaints will
not be allowed to see the lists, it
was stated, because many houses
wish that those submitted be kept
private.

cipants in the forthcoming pro-

BATTLE TO H TIE
Failure to Tally in Two Overtime
Periods Ends Michigan's
Title Hopes.
In the fastest, most exciting
hockey game played on Michigan's
home rink in several years, a strong
Minnesota sextet last night came
from behind in the third period
and tied the score at 1-1 whereit
remained through two overtime
periods.
Fist fighting featured the spec-
tacle when the players of both
teams mixed with certain regular-
ity. The second overtime period
Parker and Reid started a general
free-for-all that was staged in
front of the press box and drew in
the sport writers, coaches, substi-
tutes and trainers.
Joe Frumkes rose from his sick
bed to score his first goal against
major competition this season by
taking a quickpass from Crossman
in the second period and pounding
the disk past Goalie Clausen for
Michigan's only score.
Reid, Crossman Stopped.
Emmy Reid and Keith Crossman
were stopped for the first time this
year by the best front line Michi-
gan has faced in Macnnis, Parker,
and Toth. These Gophers started
hurrying Michigan's attack even
before it got started and kept up a

continual fight for the puck all
throughathe contest. Their front
line however, could not readily
pierce Michigan's defense of Wil-
liams and Chapman, although they
rolled up an unusually large num-
ber of shots. Captain Tompkins was
called upon to stop 38 shots in ad-
dition to the one that gotaway
from him, while Glausen stopped
22.
After Michigan scored in the sec-
ond, Minnesotaakept two front line-
men at top speed in an effort to
score but were held at bay until
the middle of the third. Parker
passed the disk tokToth from the
side and Toth took a shot at the
net. The puck hit Tompkins leg
and carromed off into the net.
Tompkins was bewildered for a
moment and would not believe that
the puck was in the net.
Final Attempts Fail.
In the two overtime periods,
Coach Lowrey threw caution to the
wind in an effort to win. He pulled
Williams and left Chapman with
all the defense duties and used
four forwards. However Minensota'
rose to the occasion with a series of
poke-checks that did not allow
Michigan many open shots at the
net.
The Wolverines saw the fastest
skating sextet in the history of
Minnesota out-skate them. Four
sophomores made up the Gophers
starting team and they were un-
usually cool under fire.
Ted Chapman was hit in the eye
with the puck but recovered and
played out the contest. It was his
courageous leaps at the puck in
front of the net, with skates flash-
ing all around him, that saved sev-
eral would-be goals.

By The Associated Press.
NEWARK AIRPORT, Mar. 5-Col. Charles A. Lindberg[
plane was being prepared early today for a flight to an unannout
ed destination.
HARTFORD, Connecticut, Mar. 5-After Henry Johns(
of Englewood, New Jersey, was taken into custody here tonight
connection with the Lindbergh kidnapping case, a special delive
letter and a postcard addressed to the Lindberghs was found in t
Hartford post office. The letter, addressed to Mrs. Charles
Lindbergh, was not opened but sent on to its destination. T
postcard addressed to the Lindberghs at Princeton, New Jersc
said: "Baby still safe; keep things quiet." The J in New Jers
was reversed as in a previous postcard received by Col. Lindber
from East Orange, New Jersey, and similarly the name was spell
without the h. Johnson told newspaper men that he was a sail
and had been out of work for three months and had come here
visit his brother. He said his friendship with Miss Betty Go
nurse of the Lindbergh baby, had extended for over a three-ye
period.
TRENTON, N. J., Mar. 5-John A. Toolhey, secretary
Governor A. Harry Moore, said that he had been informed
Hugh Elkhorn, attorney-general of the state of Connecticut, ti
Harry Johnson had definitely been placed under arrest for t
Lindbergh kidnapping and that it was known that Johnson h
been in telephone communication with Betty Gow, Lindberg
nurse, on the night of the kidnapping.
Henry Johnson, arrested last night in the Lindbergh kidna
ping case was formerly employed by Robcrt Lamont, secretary
commerce on his private yacht.
"We have got the car," said Toolhey, "and a milk bot
found in the car." The reference to the car was believed to allu
to a green coupe in which Johnson was said to have driven
Hartford.

HOPEWELL, N.J., March 4.-(AP)-An offer to deal direc
and confidentially with the kidnappers of their blue-eyed young s
was made personally today by Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lindberg
Just 62 hours after the child was stolen from his sickbed, t
two anxious parents, who have seen a mountain of clues and lea
fade one by one into insignificance, signed their names to a tyl
written statement. It pledged them not "to try to injure in any w
those connected with the return of the child," and to observe fa-
f ully any promise.
The 145-word message to the kidnappers emphasizing that t
Lindbergh's only interest was in the immediate and safe return
their baby boy, made it clear that their willingness to meet a $50,C
ransom demand, had failed to obtain any response.
The appeal, the first to bear1
Lindbergh's signatures, read:
