By DON WIRTCHAFTER
EVANSTON, Ill., May 24-Fight-
ing valiantly to keep their long-
standing Western Conference track
empire intact, Michigan's mighty
Wolverines unleashed their heaviest
artillery here in Dyche Stadium this
afternoon to lead the way in the
opening-day activities of the 40th
annual outdoor championships.
All in al, Ken Doherty's powerful
squad qualified 19 men for tomor-
row's final events, which makes
Wolverine hopes appear exceedingly
bright when compared to 13 posi-
tions that the charging and threat-
ening Hoosiers from Indiana were
able to gain in the preliminary tests.
But don't count the Hoosiers out
as yet. Four of those 13 spots on
tomorrow's card will be filled by a
very able, in fact phenomenal, lad
named Roy Cochran. Although he is
holder of the World's indoor quarter
mile mark, the Indiana ace didn't
even enter that race today. Instead
he concentrated on the shorter
events and managed to come through
in the 100 and 220-yard dashes, the
broad jump and low hurdles. If
Coach Billy Hayes' strategy works
and Cochran wins some of these
events, this track meet has possibil-
ities of an amazing struggle when
tomorrow arrives.
But as the experts predicted, it
will be a two-team race and nothing
more this year. Besides the Wolver-
ines and Hoosiers, Ohio State and
Wisconsin made the best showings
today as far as the hopeless class
was concerned. Each qualified 10
men for tomorrow's interesting get-
together.
One Big Ten record went crash-
ing to earth today, and that came

Bond Defeated
On Late Homer
(Special To The Daily)
MINNEAPOLIS, May 24.-A gal-
lant Michigan baseball team watched
its title hopes 'sail into oblivion on
the wings of 'a ninth-inning home
run. by George Boerner that gave
Minnesota a 2-1 victory over the
Wolverines here today.
The clout broke up a keen pitch-
ing duel between Lyle Bond and Bill
Anderson, Gophers' sensational soph-
omore ace. The rival hurlers'had giv-
en up five hits apiece until Boerner
stepped up to the plate to open Min-
nesota's half of the ninth.
Boerner caught hold of Bond's first
pitch and drove it far over Davie
Nelson's head in deep right field to
make the circuit and knock the Var-
sity out of the running for the crown.
The defeat was doubly disappoint-
ing to the Wolverines who learned
immediately after the game that
Northwestern had been upset by Ohio
State, 3-2, at Evanston. The Wild-
cat setback would have left the way
open for Michigan to gain a tie for
the Big Ten championship had the
Wolverines defeated Minnesota.
Michigan threatened to score early
in the game. Bill Steppon, first man
up in the second, singled to left field.
With Fred Trosko at bat, Steppon
broke for second on a hit and run
play. Trosko smashed a line drive
right into the hands of Jack Langan
at third base, however, and Steppon
was doubled up at first.
Coach Ray Fisher's forces broke

Campus Anti-War Sentiment
Is Rising, Opinion Poll Reveals
80 Per Cent Of Students
Say That United State4
Should Not Declare War
By ROBERT SPECKHARD
Anti-war sentiment on the Uni-
versity campus has surged upward
since the early stages of the Euro-
pean war last October, a Bureau of
Student Opinion poll revealed yes-
terday.
While headlines told of Nazi
bombs dropping on England this
week, 80 percent of a cross-section
sample of Michigan students main-
tain that the United States should
not declare war on Germany even
if it appears that Germany is de-
feating France and England. This
is an increase of seven percent over
the 73 percent who made the same
declaration last October when the
combat was confined to barrages of
propaganda leaflets.
The question was stated: "If it
Retires July 21
appears that Germany is defeating I
England and France,wshould the
United States declare war on Ger-
many and send our army and navy
to Europe to fight?"
Ten percent answered the ques-
tion "yes," saying that the United
States should declare war on, Ger-
many, while ten percent expressed
no opinion.
Members of the fair sex as usual
exploited their female vacillation, 63
percent indicating that we should
not declare war on Germany by
answering "no" last October, while
81 percent declared "no" today.
Male opinion changed less but
represented the same opinion ex-
pressed by the women; 77 percent
answered "no intervention" in Oc-
tober and 79 percent said "no" to-
day.
The poll, conducted under the di-
rection of James Vicary, '40, can-'
vassed 335 students between noon of
May 21 and the meridian of May 23.
They were selected on the basis of
school enrollment, class, and sex,
to approximate the proportions
found in official University statis-
tics.

Tutorial Plan
Deadline Set
By Congress
The deadline for applications for
Congress' tutorial plan will be 5
p.m. today, Robert Mack, '42, chair-
man of the Scholarship Commit-
tee, announced yesterday.
The tutorial plan, which has been
in operation since March 1, consists
of a method whereby students defi-
cient in certain subjects may be
coached in them at a low expense.
There is ahconstantly increasing
number of students wishing to be
tutored, Mack pointed out, and the
tutors are now beginning to need
much of their time for studying for
their final examinations. It is for
that reason that the deadline has
been set.
Under the plan, students who ap-
ply may be tutored for 20 cents an
hour by other students who offer
their services. Professional tutoring N
varies -in cost from $1.00 to $2.00 '
an hour and is out of reach of the <
average student because of the t
price, Mack explained.
