In Last Dual Meet
Strength In Field Events
Overwhelms Visitors;

Hurdler, Sets Mark
By HAL WILSON
Displaying overwhelming strengtl
in the field events, Michigan's mighty
track team swept to a decisive 62 1-3
to 41 2-3 dual meet triumph ove
Ohio State's powerful Buckeyes last
night at Yost Field House.
Although the Scarlet and Gray in-
vaders managed to outscore Coacl
Ken Doherty's defending Western
Conference champions in the eight
track events by a two point margin
they were unable to stem a flood of
Wolverine points in the other fou
events. Copping first in the high
and broad jumps, the pole vault and
the shot put, Michigan amassed the
startling total of 29 1-3 points to the
Buckeyes' meagre 6 2-3.
That was the story of the meet
statistically-and therein can be
found the primary reason for Michi-
gan's supremacy. But from the view-
point of the more than 2,000. en-
thusiastic fans, the track events pro-
vided all the thrills, as both squads
leveled a furious onslaught against
both meet and Field House records
smashing two and equaling two
others.
Husky Bob Wright, Ohio's sensa-
tional sophomore star, had a hand
and a pair of powerful legs in the
record-shattering display, as he lived
up to all his sparkling advance no-
tices and more. The Buckeye Bullet
was just that as he blazed his wa

yard low hurdles over five barriers in

Ward, Bob Osgood and Elmer Ged-
eon. all of Michigan, who hold the
Field House and meet marks of 8
seconds flat for the 65-yard lows.
Wright also added a third plac
in the 60-yard dash, which was won
by Ohio's Ralph Hammond in a
blanket finish with Wolverine Bu
Piel, to give him 11 points and high
scoring honors for the evening.
But just as Wright deserves al

Is Due Today
In spite of continued setbacks by
Ann Arbor's fickle weather, the final
chapter of the long-delayed first an-
nual Winter Carnival will be held at
7:30 p.m. today in the University
Coliseum.
Featured performers of the evening
are members of the famous Olympia
Skating Club of Detroit, who will
demonstrate their skill upon the ice
in exhibitions of waltzes, fox trots,
and intricate group numbers that
defy description in a paragraph.
Members of the Ann Arbor Skating
Club will join to exhibit their fancy
skating abilities, after which seven
University students, finalists in the
fancy skating competition, will dem-
onstrate their wares.
Competition in speed skating
events is then scheduled to take the
spot light, with "Chuck" Esler, of
the I-M sports program,: doing the
refereeing. Ward Quaal, '41, will act
as announcer of the events.
Immediately after the finals of
the skating relays, Charles Heinen,
'41, secretary of the Union, will
award the trophies to the winners of
individual events and Douglas Gould,
'41, president of the sponsoring or-
ganization, will present cups to the
champions of the all-event compe-
tition. These two trophies will be
awarded to the sorority and fratern-
ity compiling the largest number of
points in all of the competitive events.
Free skating for the audience will
be the order after the Carnival events
are completed.

In Time's Lap
Lies The Fate
Of AllINations
TOKYO, March 2-(Sunday)-The
failure of the French Ambassador to
keep a scheduled appointment with
the Japanese Foreign Minister pro-t
longed today the crisis in Japan's
mediation betwen French Indo-China1
and Thailand, made more acute by
an expired ultimatum.
Foreign Minister Yosuke waited at
hi sresidence for six hours, from 4 un-
til 10 p.m., last night, for ambassador
Charles Arsene Henry to kep an .ap-
pointment which authoritative quar-I
ters had hinted might end in ac-I
ceptance of Japan's final terms.
But the conference did not occur,
and observers said they believed thisI
development indicated a French hoper
of postponing a showdown.I
It was presumed Amebassador Hen-
ry had received last-minute instruc-I
tions from the government at Vichy
which at least postponed his antici-I
pated talk with Matsuoka.I
Consequently Japan still was not
officially informed of Vichy's final
decision despite authoritative hint,
widely displayed in the press, that
the French had agree dto the basic+
terms of Japan's compromise pro-.
posal, made in an ultimatum which
expired at midnight Friday, Tokyo
I time.
Observers believed the Japanese
were hesitant to resort to the "force-
I ful action" which they had hinted
would be applied, so long as a peace-
ful settlement appeared at all possi-
ble.

Authorities Also Grave
Over Possible Strife
Within Own Borders
Position Of Greece,
Turkey Is Menaced
SOFIA, Bulgaria, March 1.-(P)--
Germany occupied Bulgaria today-
the eleventh sovereign state it has
verrun since 1938-and toright the
ntire country doused its lights in
ear Britain might make good at any
noment on a threat to bomb Bul-
;aria if Nazi soldiers wvere allowed
n its borders.
The coming of Adolf Hitler's leg-
ions in gray-green battle dress by
plane, armored car and truck raised
grave questions as to the future' of
Greece in its war with Italy, and of
Turkey under its still passive alliance
with Britain.
Gravest Question
But the first and gravest questions
to Bulgarians were the fear of in-
ternal disturbances as a result of the
Germans' entry and of British bom-
bardment from the dark sites with-
out further notice.
The former was seen in the issu-
ance of carbines to all policemen and
he stationing of Bulgarian troops
along the frontiers and at strategic
points.
The latter was made plain by the
blacking out of all cities and the erec-
tion of additional anti-aircraft guns
atop the tallest ;buildings.
British Minister George W. Rendel
last Thursday Warned Bulgaria that
to join the Axis would be to invite
Britain to "attack Germans on Bul-
,arian soil without any formal dec-
laration" of war.
With Sofia only a half-hour by
bomber from Salonika, Greece, and
only two hours from the British base
at .Crete, many Bulgarians felt that
at any time the Royal Air Force might
attack communication centers to im-
pede any Germant march against
Greece.
Bombard Bridges
Observers declared British bom-

which the Germans crossed the Dan-

Greeks Undaunted
By Nazi Threat
BITOLJ, Yugoslavia, March 1-()
-The Greek army will be able to
hold out even should Nazi troops aid
Italy against the Greeks in Albania,
3reek sources in this border city
declared tonight.
With German forces one country
nearer the Albanian battle front
through ocupation of Bulgaria, these
sources maintained the Nazi mechan-
ized equipment was unsuitable for
a quick offensive and that the ter-
rain would prevent the mass employ-
ment of troops.
The Greeks are better at adapting
themselves to special conditions in-
volved in the Albanian fighting, they
declared.
Italian prepariations for a big of-
fensive were at their peak, it was
said, but no major activities on the
battlefront were reported here.
The Greeks were reported to have
captured the village of Kodra east
of strategic Tepeleni after a hand
grenade, engagement repulsed two
Italian attacks.
British planes were said to have
raided the Tepeleni-Valona Road
where the Italians were moving up
troops, and three wayes of Italian
planes attacked Phlorina.

Aid Britain To Protect Nations
Of Latin America, Remer Says
By ALVIN DANN
The problem of preventing the Axis
powers, if triumphant, from gain-
ing control of South America through
economic penetration is so difficult to
solve that it is one of the arguments
for supporting Great Britain immed-
iately, according to Prof. Charles
Remer of the economics department.
Professor Remer, a recognized au-
thority on international trade, is
quite pessimistic about South Ameri-
ca in the event of an Axis victory.
Convinced that the situation can not
be considered apart from conditions
beyond the oceans, he believes, that
the concept of self-sufficiency with-
in this hemisphere is really an ex-
tension of isolationism. "To accept
regionalism is a victory for totalitar-
ianism and exactly what Germany
wants for the moment," the econo-
mist declared.
be powerless to withstand the eco-
nomic domination which has been the
prelude to political domination among
the small nations of Europe.
Plans for cooperative trading me-
thods have all the dangers and weak-
nesses of all cooperative schemes. The
problem of getting all these countries
to cooperate is not easily answered, he
explained.
Taking up one of the cooperative
proposals, the suggested cartel ar-
rangement, he declared that it in-
volved so many difficulties as to
make its worth doubtful. This plan
whereby the United States would as-
sume financial responsibility to meet
the problem of surpluses of South
America would be extremely expen-
sive. It would also be bound to mix
us up in efforts to control produc-

Hitler's Plans May Be Hurried
By War Needs, Simpson Says
By KIRKE L. SIMPSON
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
The month of March, reputed in
respect to weather to go out like a
lamb when it comes in like a lion,
does not seem destined to live up to
that reputation so far as events of
the European war are concerned.
It has come in like a lion with ten-
sion high in the Balkans and Ger-
many reporting sea-war successes
against Britain. It bids fair to go out
roaring with action certainly in the
Atlantic and possibly also in the Bal-
kans and the far Pacific.
Germany reached its high-water
mark in the World War in March,
1918. The Kaiser's armies all but
cut the French and British apart on
the west front in that spring drive.
Thev risked everything on that final
ish and neutral economists gauge
German food and oil resources aright.
Nazi leaders from Hitler down have
said repeatedly they are prepared for
a war of any duration. Months ago,
however, Americans back home from
Berlin told this writer of their doubts
on that score.
They saw possibilities of an upris-
ing in Germany only distantly. It de-
pended,, they believed, on either of
two factors.
Even iron-fisted Nazi suppression
at home could not avert the many
rumblings of discontent, they be-
lieved, if the German army sustained
a disastrous defeat. They felt cer-
tain it was fear of just such a defeat
that withheld a German attempt to
invade England last summer or early
fall when other conditions seemed
right for the attempt.
