Trackmen Enter
Triangular Meet
By DON WIRTCHAFTER
A gang of Northwestern huskies
applied weight and brawn to the im-
proved Michigan cage attack last
night, but by the time 2000 spec-
tators, who turned out to witness the
home finale, straggled out of Yost
Field House, the Wolverines had
chalked up their fifth Big Ten vic-
tory, 45-39.
It was a sizzling second-half at-
tack, much like the one displayed
against Illinois on the same floor Sat-
urday night, that enabled the Oos-
terbaan charges to turn the tables
on the 45-34 licking the Wildcats
handed them earlier this year.
Sofiak Spurs Wolverines
Three points behind entering the
second half, the inspired Wolverines,
spurred on by battling Michael Sof-
iak, and shuffle-footed Bill Cartmill,
turned on the heat and left the visi-
tors with their eighth Conference loss
of the season against two wins.
The veteran seniors, making their
final appearance on the Field House
court, accounted for 27 of the Michi-
gan points. Little Mike dumped in
four baskets and five foul shots in
the final spurt to lead the Wolverine
scoring with a 16 point total. Cartmill
finished second with 11.
Michigan Attack Begins
Once the Michigan attack began
rolling, the Northwestern quintet, re-
sembling a weight-lifting outfit more
than a cage team,- found their
strength no match for the Wolverine
speed and deception. Strapping Don
Clawson, 220 pounds of gridiron
brawn and a scratchy head, steamed
up and down the floor like a runaway
horse, but his efforts were all in
vain. Michigan was on its way and
couldn't be halted.
The only thing that kept the Wild-
cats in the ball game was the eagle
eye of Bob McCarnes, the Logans-
port, Ind., flash, who split the nets
nine times for an 18 point total to
make him high scorer for the eve-
ning. ,
Michigan sprang to an early five

Thinclads To Meet
State, Normal Today
By HAL WILSON
Michigan will send its mighty
track reputation under the heavy
fire 61 a pair of home-state rivals,
Michigan State and Michigan Nor-
mal, in their annual triangular meet
tonight at the Spartans' spacious
Jensen Field House.
But from all. advance indications
it appears that State's most import-
ant contribution to the meet will con-
sist in the furnishing of the site. The
Spartan squad, weak at the season's
start, was rendered even more anem-
ic by the injury of their ace all-
around performer, Walter Arring-
ton, and tonight's meet stacks up as
a triangular clash in name only.
In reality the Hurons from near-
by Michigan Normal will provide
most of the opposition for Coach Ken
Doherty's cindermen, who will be
striving for their second straight win
of the current indoor campaign. And
stiff opposition it will be, too, for
Michigan's Ypsilanti neighbor ranks

Lawyers Quit Work
As Fire Breaks Out
Diligent law school students were
distracted temporarily from their
briefing yesterday evening by a fire
that broke out in the basement of
section F of the Lawyers' Club.
Waste paper accumlated in bales
caught fire sending smoke through-
out the law club and then through
the University underground tunnel
system which brought the smell of
smoke to most buildings on the can-
pus.
Zahn estimated that basement re-
pairs may cost several thousand dol-
lars. "Quite a few tiles on the ceiling
were broken and if a whole new ceil-
ing has to be put in it will be costly,"
-he said.

Slosson Discusses War
"After the War--What?" was the
question to which Prof. Preston W.
Slosson offered a variety of possible
answers last night at the meeting
of the Ann Arbor Forum.
personal responsibility as citizens of
the state and as American patriots
concerned about the future of our
country."
Composed by Professor Slosson, and
edited by other, members of the
group, the statment advocated quick
approval of all-out aid to Britain be-
cause "to give aid with reservations,
might mean to lose all our effort."
Members of the teaching staff
from every school and college signed,
Professor Wells said. Of these 69 had
a rank of full professor, 37 were asso-
wiate professors, 36 assistant profes-.
ors, and 32 teaching fellows.
Decrying persons who insist that*
our aid can be of no avail in deter-
mining an ultimate outcome of Eur-
ope's war, the petition declares that
the United States "is the most pow-
erful nation in the world, and has it
in its power to decide whether it shall
act soon enough, strongly enough,
efficiently enough to keep the present
peril far away."
Enactment of the bill is not "an
absolutely safe course," the petition
cautioned, but, failure to pass it "may
be the most dangerous of all.
It added: "We have it in our power
to decide whether we will 'act soon
enough, strongly enough, efficiently
enough to keep the present peril far
away; or whether we prefer to face it
later, alone, on our thresholds. This
last is the alternative we choose if we
delay or hesitate to take whatever
measures the emergency may de-
miand."

Enlarged U-Boat Activity
Will Reach Full Swing
In Next Two Months
Thailand, IndoChina
Agreement Is Near
MUNICH, Germany, Feb. 24.--4R)
-Adolf Hitler himself reported to-
day that German sea raiders had
sunk 215,000 tons of shipping in the
past two days and he proclaimed
that this was only the beginning of
a sweeping naval offensive to reach
full swing in the next two months.
He said Germany's undersea war-
fare had been restricted until re-
cently to ~ the operations of "so few,
submarines" while new crews were
being trained to go to sea in force.
The announcement of sinkings by
surface and undersea raiders in the
past two days (later increased as to
217,300 tons by DNB, official news
agency) gave grim point to the
Fuehrer's threat of a grand offens-
ive.
Hitler credited Italy with tying up
large British sea forces, as wep~ as
land forces and planes, in the Medi-
terranean area while Germany pre-
pared for her naval onslaught.
"Our struggle at sea only now can
begin," he said. "The reason for this
lies in the fact that, to begin with,
we wanted to train new crews for
U-boats~ which are now ready.
"There should be no doubt of that.
Just two hours ago I received infor-
mation from the navy high command
that just now reports on the last two
days had come in during which high
seas forces and U-boats sank 215.000
tons of "which U-boats alone sank;
190,000 tons,, among them one con-
voy of 125,000 tons which was de-
stroyed yesterday.
"Those gentlemen (the British),
however, must be prepared for still
bigger events in March and April.
Then they will find out whether we
slept through the winter or who made
use of time.
Far Eastern Mediation
Reported 'Near At Hand'
TOKYO, Feb. 25.-()--Koh Ishii,
spokesman of the cabinet 'informa-
tion bureau, announced today that
an agreement was "near at hand" in
the Japanese mediation of the con-
flict between Thailand and French
Indo-China.
He gave no details of the proposals
under consideration or the sort of
settlement expected, but deplored
newspaper reports from Saigon to the
effect that fighting might be re-
sumed. In view of the continuing
peace negotiations and yesterday's
10-day extension of the armistice to
March 7, these reports obviously ex-
aggerated the situation, he said.
