Michigan Nine Loses To Ypsil Late Rally In Ninth Fails As Hurons Win 7-6 By NORM MILLER A desperate three-run rally, staged with two ut in the ninth inning, fell short just by one run as the Wolverines lost to Michigan Normal for the second time this season yes- terday afternoon at Ypsilanti. The score was 7-6. The abortive outburst came after the Hurons had broken a 3-3 tie in the eighth with a home run bar- rage off pitcher Tommy Netherton that provided the winners with a commanding 7-3 lead. Twice before the Wolverines had come from be- hind to pull up on even terms with the Normal team. George Harms set the Michigan rally in action when he opened the ninth with a single to left feld.

S. Hul- bert, president of the McGregor Fund Trustees, and accepted by President Ruthven. Given by the, McGregor Fund of Detroit, the plant is further endowed to cover part of its support over the forthcoming five-year period. It forms a part of additions of the McMath- Hulbert Observatory, which was founded in 1929 at Lake Angelus and which was deeded to the University in 1931. The new laboratory and shop building, covering an area of 5,600 square feet with the tower telescope attached, will be devoted to the study of the heat magnetic and other ener- gy conditions of the solar surface. The first floor of the building con- Actress Diana To Give Cups, At Sing Today tains a drafting room, a machine and instrument shop, a laboratory and1 rooms for photographic work. Offices a measuring room, a darkroom, the library, a film projection booth and another laboratory comprise the sec- ond floor. The tower is especially assembled to obviate risk of damage from vibra- tion, the tower actually consisting of a double thickness of steel. Dome, floors and other structural elements are carried by the outer tower, with an electrically driven steel elevator car which rises between the two walls. Contained in the center tower is only the telescopic light-gathering mechanism, a colelastat within the dome, which gathers light from the sun and sends it down through the various parts of the telescope proper. Dr. Robert H. McMath, director of the Observatory, will use the McGreg- or addition in continuing his photo- graphic studies of solar phenomena. Hampered by inadequate quarters, Doctor McMath has made more than 132,000 separate solar pictures or frames during the past four years. The new facilities will aid him in the study of temperature knots that are traveling at speeds of 10 to 50 miles per second, changes in heat, magnetic and electrical force given out by the sun, and increases in the sun's output of ultra-violet light. Study of these energy relations will bring results of inconceivable value, officials of the astronomy depart- ment believe.: Ruthven Talk Opens Parley Of Educators National Extension Service Holds Conference Here On Silver Anniversary Methods Of Work Will Be Considered Keynoting the silver anniversary banquet of the National University Extension Association last night at the Union, Dr. Alexander G. Ruth- ven stressed the importance of a well educated populace in a democ- racy before nearly 200 educators from all parts of the nation. The banquet ended the first day's ac- tivities in the Association's 25th an- nual conference. "Totalitarian governments are more efficient in crises than demo- cratic governments can hope to be," he pointed out, "but most democ- racies are less efficient than they mean to be." Dr. W. D. Henderson, Director Emeritus of the Extension Service of the University, and Dr. Charles A. Fisher, director of the University Extension Service, and Prof. W. H. Lighty of the University of Wiscon- sin, also spoke. Sessions today will be divided into general meetings and group sessions with the techniques and fundamen- tals of extension work being treated. Prof. Bruce E. Mahan, of State Uni- versity of Iowa, will preside at the 9:30 a.m. general session at which adaptations in University correspon- dence instruction as revealed by the research project will be discussed by Prof. C. O. Thompson of the Uni- versity of Chicago. Group meetings on forums, visual aids and supervised correspondence will be held at 10:30 a.m. Speaking on "Planning and Cooperating to Attain University Extension Objec- tives," Prof. B. C. Riley, of the Uni- versity of Florida and president of the association will feature the luncheon at 12:30 p.m. at the League. Prof. Allen Addresses MSC Forestry Society Professor Shirley W. Allen of the School of Forestry and Conserva- tion spoke yesterday to the mem- bers of the Michigan State College chapter, of Xi Sigma Pi, national forestry honorary fraternity, at an open meeting in the Chittenden Me- morial Cabin in East Lansing.

PARIS, May 15.-(P)- Charging German tanks tore gaps in the Allied positions on the Meuse today after crossing the river at three points along the 50-mile front from Namur, Belgium, to Sedan, in Northern France. The Germans shifted their assaults to this sector after meeting strong French counter-attacks in the Sedan region just to the south, and were reported to have "penetrated to the interior of the French dispositions." "In the face of the serious new situation, the French Command has Diana Barrymore, star of the Dra- matic Season's forthcoming produc- tion "A Winter's Tale," will present cups to the winners of the first, sec- ond and third places in the annual Interfraternity cing which is sched- uled to begin at 7:15 p.m. today on the steps of the Main Library.

Prof. Hyma Finds Potential Traitors In Campus Groups ADRIAN, May 15. -(,P)-Prof. Al- bert Hyma of the history department charged here in an address yester- day that "there are many potential traitors on the Michigan campus." In a discussion of possible threats to the security of the United States, Professor Hyma told the Adrian Ex- change Club that by "potential traitors" he referred to those who belonged to youth organizations be- lieving in "peace at any price." "They do not believe in war or force," he said. "They are members of a passive and inactive group who detest violence in every form. They abandoned the war of position and egun a war of movement," a War Ainistry spokesman said. "The High Command has re- rouped ani launched counter-at- acks, which are now underway," he aid. The change from stationary to mobile warfare meant that the French had decided to abandon their prepared frotifications and fight the battle of the Meuse in the field to meet the Reichswehr threat. Hitler Warns Belgians To Cease Resistance BERLIN, May 15. -(P)- The Ger- man Army, acclaimed by Adolf Hit- er for its swift conquest of The Netherlands, .,today threatened to bomb Brussels, the Belgian capital.

In a threat similar to that which brought capitulation of the Dutch, the German High Command de- clared that if Belgian authorities wish to save Brussels from Nazi air fury, they must cease all .military activity in the Belgian capital, al- ready menaced by German troops who approached the Louvain "Gate- way," some 16 miles to the east.

Victors by a top-heavy 15-3 score in the first match between the two schools this spring at the Univer- sity course, the Wolverines are in a real battle today. Despite a recent loss to Notre Dame whom the Maize and Blue have already beaten, the Spartans recently whipped North- western, 1612-1%/. Playing on their home course should aid the East Lansing .lads no end, since they were able to hold the Wolverines to a standstill for the past two years, winning all four matches until this year's reversal of form.

The Tartars, coached by Norman G. Wann, are not as tough this sea- son as they have been previously but nevertheless, have won eight out of eleven matches. The only losses they have incurred have been at the hands of Texas U., Baylor U., and Illinois, all strong outfits, Leading the Detroit outfit is Bill Maul, Irving Blumenfeld, and Mike Sweetina. Maul is the present De- troit Public Parks champion and run- ner-up in the Detroit City Singles Tournament. This spring he has won 10 out of 11 matches and his duel with Michigan Capt. Sam Durst, who has beaten such outstanding col- legiate netters as Buck Shane of Kala- mazoo, Charles Shostrom of Chicago and Gene Russell of Western State, should be something worth travelling the proverbial "country mile" to see.
