SHANGHAI, Dec. 10.-(Friday)-
The Japanese array. with 100,0001
men poised for a final assault on
Nanking, has 'presented an ultima-
tum demanding the city's surrender
by noon today.
General Iwane Matsui, command-'
ing all Japanese forces in the Shang-
hai-Nanking region, addressed theI
ultimatum to General Tang Seng-
Chi, the veteran Chinese warrior and
has assuned command of the de-
fense of the capital from which the
government fled two weeks ago.
A Japanese airplane, speeding over
Nanking, dropped the communica-
tion, which said if the Chinese did
not yield, the city "'will become the I
scene of the horrors of war."
Apparently the Japanese, draw-I
ing their cordon tighter around the4
abandoned capital, had,, not yetj
launched any major attack. There
was' no confirmation of a Domei
(Japanese News Agency) report that
aerial observers had 'seen Japanese
tanks entering Nanking's southeast
gate. Another Domei report that
Japanese troops had entered Wuhu
also lacked confirmation. Twenty-
four Americans were reported still at

Readers of the Daily have been ask-
ing about the work of Goodfellows
who will literally cover Ann Arbor
Monday, selling the third annual edi-
tion of the Daily.
Yesterday there was published in
the Daily an itemized account to show
how the $1,129.31 contributed to the
Family Welfare bureau after last
year's drive, was spent.
Wednesday the Daily published the
stories of five needy cases which were
being helped by the Family Welfare
Bureau, an organization that concen-
trates its efforts on the readustment
of distressed families. It is a group
that believes the plighted families can
best be aided by helping them to help
themselves.
It is with that objective in mind
that the-Daily presents for the reader
five needy cases more. You will be
able to express yourself in the 10-hour
sale of the Goodfellow Daily Monday.
ANOTHER NEEDY CASE
Alice L. is a widow at less than 40,
with three children. Her greatest
fear on earth is not having a place to
live and bring up her youngsters ac-
cording to what she believes best for
them. So she bought a home. a mod-
est one, and went out to work. But
she collapsed trying hard to make
ends meet. Nervousness and illness
further make her efforts difficult to
perform. Some plan is needed which
would give her and her family a place
to live, at the same time not destroy-
ing her self-confidence. This the

Former Coach Says He Had
No Chance To Present
Own Side OfStory
Choice Of Leader
To Depend On Yost
By IRVIN LISAGOR
Harry G. Kipke, whose dismissal
as head football coach was an-
nounced yesterday afternoon, ex-
pressed complete surprise last night
of the athletic board's action.
Contacted on the telephone by the
Daily, 'the ousted mentor said, "The
first I found out about it was when
an Ann Arbor newspaperman phoned
me this morning. Then I was called
in at noon and notified."
Kipke added that he was bitter to-
ward no one, although he remarked,
"I think the Board should have given
me a chance to present my side of
the case."
It was reliably learned last night
that ,he Wolverine coach appeared
before a Board committee on Tues
day and was aware at that time of
the action the Board might take. The
same sources revealed he had "ample
opportunity" to confer with Athletic
Director Fielding H. Yost on Wed-
nesday.
The decision to oust Kipke was
made by a unanimous vote of the
Board in Control at an adjourned
meeting yesterday. The announce-
Fred Janke, captain-elect of
the football team, said, "Kipke
was a great pal of mine, but ap-
parently the board felt it was best
for the University. Whoever is
coach next year should have a
softjabbuilding a team with. the
material Kip trained."
ment said Kipke's contract would
officialy terminate in June, 1938.
The Board also empowered its offi-
cers to interview possible successors
to Kipke, coach here since 1929.
No action will be taken in regard to
assistant coaches until a new coach
has been appointed, the Board said.
The Board's action followed on the
heels of a recent storm of publicity
which surrounded the local athletic
situation with charges and counter-
charges of subsidization and coaching
dissension.
Working thoroughly to sift these
insinuations and arrive at the truth
of the "situation," the athletic board
took painstaking care in appraising
evidence which it might have received.
No publicity attended its more recent
investigations, and this decision is the
result.
Athletic Board Chairman Ralph
W. Aigler was reluctant to comment
upon the announcement, asserting
that the group pursued a customary
policy of silence when such state-
ments appeared.
Athletic Director Fielding H. Yost
was unavailable throughout the day
and evening. Someone suggested he
was out of town, but his daughter-
