No. 108 Z-323 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, MARCH 2, 1940 PRICE FIVE r Ship Reports U-Boat Attack In American Prof. Horton To Give SRA Lecture Today Swim Team Faces Purple Here Tonight University In Tuition Will Take Announces Increase Fees For All Neutral Zone x r Radio Tells Of German Submarine's Presence Off Puerto Rico Coast German Freighter Burns Near Aruba NEW YORK, March 1. -MP)- The British freighter Southgate, a 400- foot vessel of 4,862 tons, wirelessed tonight that she was attacke by a submarine bout 130 miles northeast of Puerto iRico. The message, intercepted by Mac- kay Radio at 6:09 p.m. (EST), gave no details and there was no immedi- ate word from the vessel or elsewhere as to the outcome. The position given by the ship- latitude 19.58 north and longitude 64.00 west-would place her about 1,100 miles southeast of Miami, Fla., a spot in the trade lanes between Cen- tral America and Europe and well within the Amercan neutrality zone. The United States Government, which maintains the base of its Tenth Naval District at Puerto Rico, swung swiftly into action. Ctter Speeds To Sene First, the Coast Guard Cutter Un- alga, sped to the scene of the re- ported attack when the Southgate .flathed its cll., Then, the Navy ordered all vessels in the district to stand by and give such assistance as their positions per- mitted and sent three destroyers-the Mc~eish, the Statterlee and the Ma- sonto the sene.' This was the first definite report of a submarine attack in American waters. Four months ago, a vessel identified by its call letters as the British Coulmore sent out a distress call lndicatlng she had been attacked by a U-boat about 600 miles east of Boston but the Coulmore was report- ed safe the next day and the attack was un verlfied. Attck Not Unepected The reported submarine attack on this side of the Atlantic was not un- expected, ho eve, as a German U- boat campaign against British trade routes to the West Indies had been predicted byinformed marine sources more than a month ago. Since that time, these sources said, British war- ships have been searching for the Nazi undersea craft in the Central and South American area. From San Juan, Puerto Rico, came word that the position given by the Southgate was but a short distance north of the present maneuver area of the U.S. Atlantic squadron. Some observers suggested that the Southgate might have sighted a U.S. submarine in 'the act of surfacing, and sent its message before deter- mining the undersea boat's identity. Nazi Freighter Scuttled Off Dutch West Indies ARUBA, Dutch West Indies, Mrch 1.-")-The German freighter Troja, 2,390 tons, which sailed from this port, was interepted by a British cruiser and was burning off Aruba tonight. The crew of the Nazi vessel, at- tempting to reach home through the British blockade, apparently set fire to their ship rather than submit to the British waship. The Troja sailed from Aruba at the same time that the German freighter Heidelberg departed. There was no word from the Heidelberg. Aruba, on a Netherlands-owned island off the northern coast of Vene- zuela, is in the Carribean Sea, well within the American neutrality belt. Large exports of Venezuelan oil are handled here.

German Bombers Raid British Ships LONDON, March 1.-(IP)-German bombers struck at British and neu- tral shipping off the British Isles to- day, in one case attacking a convoy, while Britain was striking back with new economic pressure and a scout- ing flight--the most extensive of the war-over Berlin and other German cities. An authoritative source said no ships being convoyed were hit, add- ing the action took place too far out for British fighter planes to aid them. (The official German news. agency' said the convoy was dispersed and "numerous" British warships and armed merchantment were attacked and several large ships sunk.) Several unattended vessels fell prey to the German war at sea. The 7,418- ton British liner Pyrrhus was re- ported sunk off the west coast "by enemy action"-presumably by a submarine. Michigan Favored For Eighth Victory By DON WIRTCHAFTER Northwestern and Michigan stage their annual water show at the I-M .pool tonight with a title-bound water polo team and America's classiest college swimming squad both going on display. In the dual swim meet starting at 7:30 p.m. Matt Mann's crew of cham- pions will be highly favored to chalk up its eighth straight win, but the water polo match that follows will find the Wolverines in a vastly dif- ferent position. - Wildcats Are Powerful Coach Tom Robinson's Wildcat polists are the power of the Western Conference, having decisively beaten four straight Big Ten foes so far in the fight to regain the title they lost last year. With water polo a regular sport on the Evanston campus, Robinson comes here with a team of experienced veterans built around Capt. Bob Newman an All-Conference forward. Daily practices have enabled Robin- son to form a harmonized and highly coordinated septet. In the other offensive posts he will use Bill Bitting and Jerry Zehr. Ray roivoala, Fil Kreissl and Bob DeKeif- er will be at the guard positions while Dick Andresen will play goal. Wolverines Still Confident' The Wolverines, on the other hand, play water polo just once a year and that's when Robinson and his gang are on the other side. They use no set plays and never practice together. Still the Michigan lads are confident and determined for victory. Needless to say it was almost the same Michi- gan water polo squad that was confi- dent and determined for last year's battle and the Wildcats won that one. 15-0. Included in the starting Wolverine lineup tonight will be Capt. Hal Ben- ham at the goal, Jorge Carulla, a for- mer Spanish player, John Sharemet and Larry Wehrheim, at the guard posts, and Bill Holmes, Gus Share- met and Jim Krieger at the three for- ward positions.

On the combined pleasaure and business trip, which took him to the Canal Zone and as far as Cocos Is- land in the Pacific, Mr. Roosevelt acquired a good coat of suntan, some new fishing lore and what he regards as valuable information on both near-. by and distant defenses of the Pana- ma Canal.

The communique said 922 Finnish defensive fortifications had been cap- tured from Feb. 11 to March 1. In addition the communique said the Russians captured 506 guns, 2,732 machine guns, 19 tanks, 20,000 ,shells, 10,000 rifles and more than 14,000,000 cartridge. Finns Admit Russians Are Smashing Defenses HELSINKI, March 1. -iP)- The great Russian drive upon Vipuri- by far the biggest offensive of the war-went into its second month to- day with the invaders fighting almost on the outskirts of the city. The Russians, according to the daily army communique of the Finns themselves today, are smashing up from the Southwest over the islands and ice of the Bay of Viipuri and are Non-Resident Students Affected Most By Substantial Rate Boos Fee For State Residents Raised Only Five Dollars New Schedule Prenared To 'Offset Cost Of Various New Student Services' A sweeping revision of tuition fees, with substantial increases in ever school and college, was announced yesterday by University officials. Most of the increase-which amounts in one instance to $40 per semen ter-will fall upon students from states other than Michigan. The new schedule will go into effect immediately, beginning with t1 1940 summer session, officials said. Residents of Michigan also will pay more for their education, but th rise amounts to only about $10 per year in most departments.

Unless something beyond the wild- est dreams of the most rabid of Michigan fans happens,-the score will be as close as the Wolverines will want to come to anyone. With Warren Breidenbach and Stan Kel- ley running though hampered by bad legs, and with Phil Balyeat, Charlie Decker, Al Thomas and Bill Dobson all left at home because of injuries, the varsity will have its hands full. The high spot of the day should1 be in the high-jump which finds Capt. Ted Leonas of the Irish duel- ing Michigan's junior star, Don Can- ham, with the outcome a toss-up. manna a, "n r C om o ae hnth dnne regular mile-relay team who is in tip-top shape, the battle between the Irish and Michigan quartets should provide one of the fastest relays run this year in this part of the country. The Notre Dame boys ran tbout 3:25 last week against Indiana, while Michigan presented a makeshift group last week which had a time of 3:27.7. The Wolverine quartet will be in doubt until a few moments before the race starts, as Breidenbach's leg still bothers, Kelley's knee is giving him trouble , and Doherty might decide to keep both or either one of them out of the race.' Jack Leutritz and Bob Barnard seem cer- tain to run, with Howie Egert being the number-one substitute and Ed Barrett the second, if they are need- ed. The dash will bring together Notre Dame's football player-sprinter Bob Saggau and Michigan's Al Smith and Bud Piel. Saggau has been timed in 6.2 this year, .while the best the Wolverines have done is 6.4. but in Happy Over Northwestern Upset, Cagers Confident They CanWhip OSU By CHRIS VIZAS Mentally-but not physidally-fit Michigan's highly fluctuating basket- ball squad invades the stronghold of a fast traveling Buckeye quintet to- night at Columbus, O., Jubilant over their upset triumph over Northwestern Monday night, the Wolverines are confident that they can repeat their spectacular 40-35 victory, whic rhthey scored over the defending Big Ten champions in the season's opener.
