The Maroons, banking practically all their offense on bespectacled Joe Stampf, jumped off to an early lead but faded just before the end of the half and were never again serious contenders for their first Big Ten victory. What some hoped would be a scor- ing dual between Stampf and Jim Mandler failed to materialize when the big Wolverine sophomore was re- moved for Mel Comin with about five minutes left in the first half. Comm promptly dropped in two bas- kets and a free throw as Michigan pulled away to a 21-17 half-time lead. Stampf drove further toward the Big Ten scoring title, dropping three baskets and eight free throws for 14 points. The eight free throws brought his season total to 56, seven over the number with which he led Con- ferenice free throwing last year. Bill Cartmill, Capt. Herb Brogan, and Mike Sofiak paced the big second half, accounting for all but three of Michigan's 21 points. Cartmill, Michi- gan's most valuable man under the baskets, trailed Stampf for high scor- ing honors with 13 points and a free toss. Sofiak drew three personals in the first half, but settled down to open the second period with a 20-foot push and the Wolverines pulled steadily away, leading by no less than ten (Continued on Page 3) Ineligibility Cripples Wolverine Grappiers By STAN CLAMAGE Old man ineligibility stopped-over in Ann Arbor again last night and helped Indiana to a 17-9 victory over Michigan. Only four regular Wolverine grap- plers worked last night against the Big Ten Champions, but in spite of these adverse conditions, it was one of the best dual meets seen here in a long time. Stepping down into Capt. Bill Comb's 155-pound spot, Art Paddy gave the fans one of the best fights of the evening. Against the Hoos- iers' Dan Gill, Paddy continually piled-up points but couldn't gain a fall win. He had several near falls in his 18-2 decision. The most surprising match was the one in the 165-pound class. Sophomore Bill Cour;ight, in his first varsity tussle held his own against Angelo Lazzara, Big Ten Champion. The fight was even at 4-4 until Lazzara gained a go-behind in the last five seconds to win 6-4. Ray Deane .and Jim Galles con- tinued their wins by virtue of one- point decisions. Deane, a regular (Continued on Page 3) Student Exchange Will Remain Open Two More Days The student book exchange in the lobby of the Union will remain open until 5 p.m. tomorrow. Books for popular freshman and sophomore courses are urgently need- ed and can probably be sold at once. according to Bob Samuels, co-direc- tor. Barbara Dittman, '42, and Beth Castor, '42, members of the League staff co-operating in sponsoring the exchange, announced yesterday that used texts are yet available for most courses. Samuels estimated that Michigan students have saved several hundred dollars by using this non-profit serv- ice, The exchange is handling the Festival Today The snow came-so at 3 p.m. today, 500 to 1000 Michigan students will, travel by sleigh, taxi, bus and foot out to Carnival Hill in the middle of Nichols Arboretum to take part in the Michigan Union's much-delayed extravaganza, the winter carnival. It was an anxious Jack Grady, car- nival chairman, who dropped his for- ty cents into the telephone last night to call Detroit's weatherman, Nor- man B. Conger. The answer was short, but consoling: Cloudy and Colder, Lowest Temperature about 18 Degrees. The show begins with a cross- country ski race over a mile and a half course and will be followed at 3:30 by a skiing demonstration by the Ann Arbor Ski Club, headed by Bob Lewis, Grad. The club members will slalom and illustrate intricate turns. After the special short-course ski race for women the downhill tobbog- gan race for distance will be held. There will alsobe a women's division in this race. There are no restrictions on the size of the tobboggan or the number of men. Skis and tobboggans may be rented from the Women's Athletic Building, the Z-M, and campus sport shops Annual Contest Ruthven Will Talk At Union Luncheon Problems in military highway en- gineering, the minimum road, county road systems and the administration of traffic activities will highlight the discussions of more than 700 engin- eers and road administrators who will convene here tomorrow, Thursday and Friday to attend sessions of the Michigan Highway Conference in the Union.

Herbert Crippen Wins Herbert W. Crippen was unsuc- cessfully opposed for the renomina- tion as city assesor by Carl H. Schall- horn. The final figures gave Crippen 1263 and Schallhorn 1175. All Democratic candidates for city and ward offices were unopposed. In the alderman race, first ward, Republicans nominated Walter R.- Garthe. incumbent, by giving him 144 votes to his opponent, Robert Du- val's 66.

The first, second, third, and fourth wards, populated mostly by towns- people, supported McDonald. The fifth, although populated in the same way as the other four, gave Young a small plurality. McDonald's slight lead was then swept away by the heavy Young pluralities in the sixth and seventh wards, where the faculty reside. Architect Senior Wins Airport Design Contest William D. Kinsell, Jr., '41A, was awarded the $100 first prize in an airport design contest, it was an- nounced yesterday. C. Wesley Lane, '41A, received the second prize of $50.

Bulgar-Turk Agreement Weakens Greek Position, Clears Way For Germany .a i University enrollment figures re- vealed a substantial decrease for the second semester of the 1940-41 school year as statistics released late last night showed that 10,458 persons had enrolled in all schools and colleges up to that time as compared with 10,908 students enrolled by the first day of the last semester. The enrollment was also consid- erably less than that of last year when 10,682 students registered in February. With four exceptions the percent- age decrease was spread almost even- ly among the various schools and colleges of the University with the School of Forestry and Conservation suffering an approximate twenty per cent decrease in enrollment as com- pared with last year. In real figures its enrollment dropped from 156 last February to 124 this year. The largest real decline in enroll- ment was evident in the College of Engineering, whose total enrollment dropped from 1,977 for last year to 1,872 for this year. A slight gain was noted in the Col- lege of Literature, Science and the Arts as registration figures topped last year's total of 4,418 by 41 stu- dents. Had it not been for an increased registration of women students the real decline in registration would have been considerably sharper. This year's total enrollment of women was 3,047 as compared with last year's enrollment of 2,989. In the graduate school there were 94 fewer students enrolled this year, a total of 1,189. Compared wtih registration statis- tics for last September, enrollment decreased in nearly all divisions ex- cept the graduate school, where en- rollment moved up from 1,474 to 1, 523.

Reliable informants said the accord meant, among other things: 1: A probable quick peace between Greece and Italy, with Greece the suppliant despite its victories in Al- bania. 2. That Germany would steer clear of the Dardanelles, vital link between the Russian-dominated .Black Sea and the eastern Mediterranean. Major Obstacle Is Removed (The strategic Dardanelles pas- sage bisects Turkey, separating its European and Asiatic parts.) 3. That a major obstacle to a Ger- man march through Bulgaria to Greece and the Mediterranean had been removed, for the Turks had promised in the accord not to attack Bulgaria. -A tangle of diplomatic maneuver- ing lay behind the accord. It was understood that in return for Germany's promise to leave Tur- key alone and keep away from the Dardanelles, Soviet Russia would be forced to seek return of the "lost" provincesoftars ani Ardahan froi Turkey should the Turks become em- broiled with Germany over passage of Nazi troops through Bulgaria. In the eyes of most diplomatic ob- servers the platitudes of the Bulgar- ian-Turkish accord seemed to have sealed- the fate of Greece and to have squeezed Britain out of its last small foothold in Southwestern Europe. Axis Is Jubilant German and Italian quarters joy- fully interpreted the understanding to mean that Turkey, despite its stat- us as nonbelligerent ally of the Brit- ish, would stand within its own fron- tiers when and if the time comes for Adolf Hitler's Balkan army to roll through Bulgaria into Greece and to the shores of the Mediterranean. Reliable informants even doubted that such a move by Germany would be necessary to cause Greece to yield. They felt the threat of it, without any opposition to Germany from the Turkish plan, would be enough to stop the Greeks. The kingpin of this latest victory for Axis diplomacy is understood to be Franz Von Papen, ace Naci diplo- matist. It was said he played a big part in bringing the Turks and the Bulgars together. The negotiations, culminated by the accord, have been going on for weeks. Pacific Tension Reported By Japan, Australia (By The Associated Press) TOKYO, Feb. 17-Domei, Japan's near-official news agency, quoted Vice Foreign Minister Chuichi Ohashi today as saying the United States, Britain, Australia and the Nether- lands Government-in-Exile "seem in- tent upon suppressing Japan" and that Japan might "be obliged to face the issue." This, declared the published state- ment, "might cause serious conse- quences." The Australian Government de- clared last week the Pacific situation had reached a stage of "utmost grav- ity. Causes or effects of this "gravity" include: reports of Japanese Naval movements in the China Sea, of Jap- anese concentration of 150,000 troops in the Canton area of South China, in French Indo-China, Hainan Is- land, Formosa, and the Spratly Is- lands and of a "nucleus" military air base established by the Japanese at Saignon, Indo-China, less than four hours flight from the British Sing- anore naval base nrotective mining German Internal disorder Depends On Military Reverses, Simons Says By CHESTER BRADLEY, Internal opposition to the Nazi regime can be successful within Ger- many only after the Nazi war ma- chine has suffered very great mili- tary reverses, such as the failure of the invasion of Great Britain, Dr. Hans Simons, noted political science authority on the faculty of the New School for Social Research in New York City, commented in an interview here Sunday. "No one except he who has lived in Germany in recent years can begin to realize the extent of the tremen- dous amount of power back of this war effort by the Nazis, and only the most fundamental failure in military strategy will affect adversely that effort," Dr. Simons declared. KR+ m+nrmnrisinP-,rr, qav en-i nga By GEORGE W. SALLADE, Any future European peace plan must have a promise of social secur- ity, no slavery of some national groups for the benefit of others, and a regulated disarmament, according to Dr. Hans Simons of the New School for Social Research in New York, who spoke here Sunday in a lecture sponsored by the Ann Arbor chapter of the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies. Dr. Simons is an exiled German leader who served on the German peace delegation to Versailles in 1919 and is a student of political science. Director of the Institute of Political Science in Berlin, he was District Governor of Pomerania and Silesia in 1929-30. 7"1 im nn- -n - nA ..l+ f a - C 1 r .. i I
