Opening the campaign for the Big1 Ten hockey title both teams shared last year, the teams battled scoreless, through the first period, but John1 Mariucci, stellar Gopher defenseman, drew a major penalty for fighting1 early in the second stanza and the1 Wolverines turned on the pressure, "Smack" Allen finally snaring thej nuck from a scrimmage and drilled it past Petrich for a clean goal. Less than two minutes later, with I Mariucci back in the game and Burt Smith off the ice for Michigan, Ran- dall and Wallace broke down the iceI with only Captain Bob Simpson to 1 stop them. Wallace passed to Ran- dall who jockeyed Goalie Spike James out of position to tie the score. I The winring tally hame midway in the final period when Allen was in the penalty box for the second time. An- derson took a rebound and shoved itl to Wallace for the goal. ' The game developed into one of the1 speediest collegiate hockey games seen here in recent years, and except} for a brief skirmish in the second period, was exceptionally clean.

Riggs of the engineering college was named president of the American Society of Civil Engineers yesterday, defeating David C. Coyle, a member of Presi- dent Roosevelt's engineering Board of Review by a five to one margin in the nationwide election. Professor Riggs' nomination by the society, a move generally considered tantamount to election was opposed by Coyle, the spokesman for a group of engineers in the Tennessee Valley Authority. Nominated by petition, Coyle was catapulted into the election, it is believed, as a result of a paper which Professor Riggs read at the Boston meeting of the Society last fall. In it Professor Riggs went on rec- ord condemning the construction of the Grand Coulee Dam which he said was a magnificent engineering proj- ect but economically unsound. He made no mention of the Tennessee Valley project. Excess Power Produced The power houses being construct- ed on the Columbia River, Professor Riggs pointed out, will produce more power than the entire output of power plants in either the state of Illinois or Pennsylvania. "Washington. Oregon and Utah, the states tapped by the new development, have sufficient power at present to satisfy their needs." In the meantime, Professor Riggs continued, the project will cost the nation $450,000,000 initial expenses and 16-20 millions in carrying charges per year. Contacted ° yesterday, Professor Riggs declared that such reasoning had no application to the Tennessee Valley which he said was an entirely different project. embracing soil ero- sion control and navigation control as well as power. The misunder- standing which led to Coyle's nomi- nation probably arose, he said, from garbled reports which newspapers carried of the proceedings at the Bos- ton convention. TVA Is Good Engineering Although personally not in agree- ment with the assumptions behind TVA, Professor Riggs emphasized that the men in charge are performing great feats of engineering and ex- pressed his belief that if they remain, the project may succeed. "It doesn't seem possible to me," he said, "that a corporation which has as directors five or six hundred congressmen in Washington can be very efficient." The newly elected officers will take office a week from today at the an- nual meeting in New York City. World Explorer CAPT. JOHN CRAIG 'Craig Will. Give MovieAnd Talk On Adventures. To Show Sequel Of 1937 Motion Pictures Tonight; 4th Lecturer This Year Capt.
