Extra-Period Victory Gives

Score In Overtime
Wolverines Miss Numerous
Chances To Tally During
Game InSet-Up Shots
By RAYMOND A. GOODMAN
Staging an extra-period drive that
overpowered a fighting Iowa quintet,
Michigan's basketball team won an
overtime victory, 31 to 27 last night
at Yost Field House for its third Con-
ference victory to remain a dangerous
threat in the race for the Big Ten
title.
The victory put the Wolverines in
undisputed third place in the Confer-
ence standings as Wisconsin lost to
Indiana and Northwestern dropped
a close game ,to Minnesota by a 30
to 29 score.
A crowd of over 5,000 cheering fans
saw the rangy Wolverine team con-
trol the ball almost completely dur-
ing the five minute overtime period
and allow George Rudness to hit a
long shot to break the tie and Chelso
Tamagno to put the game on "ice"
with a "dog" after Matt Walsh, Iowa
center, had staged a one-man rally
to tie the score at 27 to 27 at the
end of the regulation 40 minutes.
Game Is Cloe
The game was close throughout,
neither team getting more than a six-
point lead, as Michigan missed set-
up after set-up despite the brilliant
passing of Jake Townsend, which gave
the Varsity numerous chances to
score.
Coach Cappon andtCoach Rolly
Williams both tried to mass their
height a control the ball, Williams
starting Floyd DeHeer, six foot seven
inch pivot man, and Fred Schwartz in
place of Jack Drees, regular center,
and Sid Rosenthal the Hawkeyes fast,
shifty little forward.
During the first half it seemed as
if the Hawkeye strategy would suc-
ceed despite frequent substitution,
but in the second period the Wolver-
ine five, which has always dominated
the back-board play, came back and
controlled the ball in their usual
style.
Backboard Play Gives Edge
While the superiority off the back-
board failed to give the Varsity much
of an advantage in the second half
with Walsh hitting regularly, in the
overtime it gave the Wolverines the
edge that meant the game for Mich-
igan and defeat for Iowa. Following
Rudness' long shot the Varsity kept
possession of the ball for two-min-
utes straight before the Hawkeyes
were able to break through the Wol-
verines' passing stall. Even after
they finally did break through, it was
only momentary for the Townsends
and Gee took the ball off the back-I
board when John Barko tried a long

Water Rates In
Ann Arbor Will
Rise On Feb. 1
City Council Votes 13-1 To
Increase Revenue From
Water Supply
Ann Arbor's City Council today

approved by a 13-1 vote the suggested
50 per cent raise in city water rates,
to be in force over a 12 month period
beginning Feb. 1.
With the increased revenue which
will be received from the rate in-
crease, the city expects to be able to
finance the proposed water softening
plant without resorting to a bond
issue or floating a loan.
The cost of the water plant is esti-
mated at $400,000, of which $189,-
565.88 is already available in the
water department's treasury. Under
the present rates the surplus obtained
between Feb. 1 and July 31, 1937 is
estimated at $132,000 and the in-
crease would provide another $89,430
surplus, thus completely financing the

University Expense
For Instruction Is
One Of Its Greatest
If the University does not accom-
plish its end in teaching its students
something, it is not because the bud-
get does not allow enough to provide
instruction. Approximately $3,544,-
173.86 or 44.8 per cent of the total
University expenditures goes for in-
struction and research.
The largest amount of money spent
for the faculty, of course, was spent
for the literary college, $1,169,104.33
being used in that college alone for
instruction.
Of the other colleges and schools,
she Medical School required the most
>o maintain its faculty. As estimated
in the financial report about $475,-
222.40 was spent for instruction and
research in this school alone. The
most expensive department of the
Medical School was that of Internal
Medicine where $68,605.71 was ex-
pended.
The School of Education -that
school which is to turn out teachers-
spent the least amount for instruc-
tion of all the university divisions.
Only $214,986.31 was spent by that,
school for instruction.
League Council
Meets, Waitingr
11 Duce's Move
No Action For Settlement
Of War Zone Situation
Is Taken As Yet
GENEVA, Jan. 20.--(P)-The
League of Nations council sat in a
long-awaited session today but made
no move to settle the Italo-Ethiopian
war. 4
Despite new protests from Ethi-
opia, for aid, the council rejected
a plea from Emperor Haile Selassie
to send a commission of inquiry to
the war zone and to give the empire
financial aid.
The impression prevailed tonight
that the council, dismayed at the
collapse of previouspeace efforts
under its auspices, now waits for
Mussolini to make a move,
Baron Pompeio Aloisi, the Italian
delegate, attended the council ses-
sion but was silent. Premier Mus-
solini disclosed no signs of coming
forward with a new peace proposal.
One Italian said: "Italy herself
will arrange the Ethiopian question.
We shall not accept any League-im-
posed peace."
Emperor Haile Selassie, in a luridly
worded plea, asked for new economic
sanctions against Italy and for funds.
The committee of 13 - which is
the council without Italy and Ethi-
opia - turned down his financial re-
quest on the ground that the League
convention providing for financial
aid for victims of aggression has
never gone into force.

Casting for the dance and song
choruses as well as the leading parts
will be held at the beginning of the
second semester, according to Miss
Virginia Frink, director. The revue
calls for more than 100 characters

waltz steps as well as various song
selections.

long established tradition at the Uni-
versity, having first been presented
in 1904 in Barbour Gymnasium. In
the times it has been sponsored prac-
tically every theme has been used
from the simple plays of the earlier
days to fantasies of Spain and France
in the more recent productions.

revue," according to members of the
committee.

King George V Dies After 4-Day
Sickness And Prince Of Wales
Becomes Ruler Of Great Britain

Beloved Monarch Mourned By Great Empire

Royal Family Attends Monarch;
Parliament Called For Meeting
SANDRINGHAM, England, Jan. 20.-- (AP) -King George V
died tonight after a four-day illness. The Prince of Wales, 41-year-old
bachelor who automatically became ruler of the far flung British empire,
was present at his bedside along with Queen Mary, the Princess Royal, the
Duke of York, and the Duke and Duchess of Kent.
Death came at 11:55 p.m. (6:55 p.m. E.S.T.).
Crowds stood outside the gates of the royal residence and talked
in hushed tones, their heads bared. They looked up the hill toward the
"big house" with tears in their eyes.
As his long-taxed strength ebbed slowly today, his faithful Queen
and four sons, acting as a Council of State, took over the royal duties
of the British throne.
Responsible persons described the King's slow weakening late today
as ta general slowing up of the bodily system." Every effort was made

British King Chooses Edward'
From Long List Of First Names

Is First Unmarried Ruler
In British History, Says
Professor Cross
By FRED WARNER NEAL
The eyes of a world mourning the
dead British monarch, George V, turn
to the new king of England, Edward,
VIII, former Prince of Wales, whoj
is now on the throne.

The new king of England, who will
be 42 years old June 23, according to
Prof. Arthur L. Gross of the history
department, is named Edward Albert
Christian George Andrew Patrick
David Windsor. While the name
under which the former Prince of
Wales will rule - Edward VIII- was
optional, it has long been expected
that the Prince would take that name,
Professor Cross said last night.
Although he signed his name "Ed-
ward" almost immediately after the
death of the 70-year old George V.,
Professor Cross explained that it was
probably chosen after consultation
with the Royal Family and members
of the cabinet. He pointed out that
Edward VII, father of King George,
was called "Bertie" by his immediate
family, his first name being Albert.
King George was want to call his
heir David, and the latter, according

to reports, adopted that as his favor-
ite name. As Prince of Wales he was
always held in high regard by King
George. The story is told that when,
near death in 1928, the king aroused
from a coma to see the Prince at his
bedside, he murmured: "Davy."
Thenew king Edward VIII will be
the first unmarried adult British ruler
in modern times, Professor Cross de-
clared. The last unmarried king of
England, another Edward - the
Sixth - Professor Cross explained.
died at the age of 16 in 1553. The boy
monarch, the son of the notorious
Henry VIII and brother of Queen
Elizabeth, began his reign in 1547, the
English history authority stated.
Although it had long been rumored
that the Prince of Wales might re-
fuse the throne, Professor Cross said
last night shortly before tie stricken
king died that he "doubted it very
much." He pointed to the fact that
when King George was ill with pleu-
risy, in 1928, his first son was borne
at top speed by a British cruiser all
the way from Africa and that the
Prince had always taken an active
interest in the affairs of the realm.
The new king as the Prince of
Wales was always democratic and
"extremely popular" with all the
British peoples, Professor Cross as-'
serted, predicting that his ascension
to the throne would involve "in all
probability" no serious consequences
for England. This belief was shared
by Dr. Harlow J. Heneman, British
government authority of the political
science department, who held that
the British monarchy would go on

Frequently he sent messages to
Presidents, and made kindly inquiries
about the condition of the United1
States. He had an idea of- American
manners and customs through con-
tacts with Canada. He visited Can-
ada six times as an officer in the
royal navy.
He was always gracious to Amer-
ican visitors, and every court levee
saw a number of Americans included.
Several hundred delegates to the
American Legion convention in Paris
were entertained at Buckingham Pal-
ace.
When Col. Lindbergh was decorated
with the Royal Air Force Cross after
his epochal trans-Atlantic flight, the
decoration was awarded by King1
George himself.
N ye Committe~e
Is Warned By
Secretary Hull
Inquiry May Not Be Able
To Use National Files To
Prove Charges
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. -- (A) -
Without referring to the Senate Mu-
nitions Committee by name, Secre-
tary of State Cordell Hull today is-
sued a warning at his press conference
that the State Department might dis-
continue making available its confi-
dential files, unless the confidences
imposed upon the users are respect-
ed.
He emphasized that the files of
the Department contained confiden-
tial communications from other gov-
ernments and that this government
could not make public confidential
matter without their permission.
The Secretary did not refer to Sen-
ator Gerald P. Nye's charges that
Presidment Wilson had falsified in his
statement to Congress that he did'
not know of the existence of secret
treaties among the Allies to distribute
enemy territory until after the United
States had entered the World war, nor
did he say whether such documents
really existed.
Secretary Hull formally denied a
published report attributing to him
a statement that absolute neutrality
is impossible.
Penniless and in debt, the Muni-
tions committee disclosed plans to-
night for an investigation of promi-
nent preparednessorganizations -if
the Senate will vote it additional
funds.
Pending the uncertain outcome of
that question, the Committee made
public a list of witnesses originally
summoned but now temporarily ex-
cused, which, in addition to J. P. Mor-
gan and his partners, included the
Navy League and the Army Ordnance
Association.
During the day, Chairman Nye said
that it would be impossible for the

lunched with Queen Mary and then
returned to London in Wales' plane.
They included Ramsay MacDonald,
lord 'president of the Council; Sir
John Simon, the home secretary; Lord
Chancellor Viscount Hailsham and
Sir Maurice Hankey, secretary of the
Council.
The Archbishop of Canterbury also
attended the meeting of the Privy
Council.
Within the death chamber at Sand-
ringham, the Queen turned from her
dead King to her eldest son for sup-
port.
Shortly after his father's death
Wales sent a message which he signed
"Edward" further confirming the be
lief he would adopt this title.
Slowly and sadly the royal family
moved out of the death chamber to
converse together in low tones.
For the new king there were but
a few hours for private sorrow.
Duty will call him to London al-
most immediately to assume, with
traditional ceremony, the mantle of
kingship.
Parliament Meets Tomorrow
Lord Wigram, King George's pri-
vate secretary, immediately left Sand-
ringham for London to confer with
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin. The
Privy Council will be summoned to
meet to take oath of allegiance to
the new sovereign.
Parliament will meet tomorrow
afternoon in obedience to an act
which requires that it assemble after
a sovereign dies.
The Archbishop of Canterbury,
head of the Church of England, was
present at the bedside with the fam-
ily.
An official notice issued late tonight
in London at 10 Downing Street, seat
of the government said:
"In pursuance of the succession
of the crown act, of 1707, Parliament
must immediately meet on the demise
of the Crown.
"Arrangements accordingly have
been made for the House of Lords
and the House of Commons to meet
Tuesday, the 21st of January at 6
p.m."
After the new king left here, Queen
Mary, now the queen mother, went
to her bedroom. She was weeping
and the princess royal, the Countess
of Sherwood, and the Duchess of York
tried to console her.
