Germany has thousands of troops in Rumania, and Italy has massed Fascist forces in Albania, next to Greece. Greece and Turkey to the east are Britain's last remaining friends in the Balkans. The reported demands include severance of trade relations with Britain, cession of a strip of territory bordering Albania to Italy, a land corridor to the Aegean Sea to Bulgaria, abdica- >- Michigan Men To Face First Big Ten Foes In Today's Tilt 'Razzle Dazzle' Foreseen In Hard-Fought Between Old Grid Game Rivals tion of King George II and resigia- tion of Premier John Metaxas, and the use of certain Greek air bases by Germany and Italy. Britain is pledged to aid the Greeks if they are attacked and is aligned with Turkey in a mutual defense pact. Observers have expected demands to be made on Greece by the Axis, especially since the entry of Nazi troops into Rumania ostensibly to guard that country's oil fields but what many believe is the first step in carrying the war to Britain's Near East and temporary abandonment of plans to invade England. Shattered Army Britain's bombers shattered a Ger- man invasion army loaded on trans- ports in continental ports more than a month ago, the Air Ministry news service announced yesterday as Arth- ur Greenwood, minister without port- folio, asserted, "what has been done to London will be doubled in Ber- lin." The abortive Nazi attempt to invade England occurred Sept. 16 the news service said in giving the first official support to stories told by European refugees that thousands of German troops had perished by drowning in the English Channel and under the bomb blasts of the RAF. Transports were jammed beam to beam with Nazi soldiers when the RAF struck "and made their depar- ture impossible by the ferocity of the attack," the news service said. Long Range Fire The Admiralty disclosed that Brit- ish warships opened their guns at long range Thursday on four Ger- man destroyers sighted 100 miles southeast of Land's End, the south- western tip of England, but the "en- emy retired precipitately" to their bases on the French coast. That was the British Navy's an- swer to a German high command version that the Nazi destroyers at- tacked and chased a British cruiser and destroyer formation at "the exit of the Bristol Channel." Bad weather softened the German air attack last night on London as the Ministry of Home Security said 6,954 civilians had, been killed and 10,615 seriously injured in the United Kingdom during September. Greenwood, declaring the RAF would double in Berlin the damage inflicted on London, told a group of war factory workers that the RAF already had bombed western Ger- many "far more heaviiy than any place in this country."

Kaye, Jr., foreign correspondent for the Lansing State Journal spoke be- fore a banquet nieeting of the Uni- versity Press Club of Michigan on the subject, "I Saw the Germans Coming." For weeks the European continent was quiet, he said. Parisians were taking the war philosophically, no bombs had fallen on civilian popula- tions, there seemed to be no danger of German invasion. It was a shock of unutterable magnitude, he de- clared, when the first German planes bombed Paris in June and when later reports of German advance in the North came through to Paris. It was the stream of soldiers from the North through Paris, soldiers carrying tales of desertions of offi- cers, stories of German might, he said, that snapped the morale of the French people and made them await dumbly the final triumphant entrance of the Nazis into Paris. Fielding Yost also spoke at the' banquet, reminiscing on his years at the University. The afternoon meetings of the an- nual meeting of the University Press Club were highlighted by addresses by Mr. Will C. Conrad of the Mil- waukee Journal, who spoke on "The Press and the Changing World," by Prof. Arthur W. Bromage of the poli- tical science department, and by Prof. Preston W. Slosson of the his- tory department who spoke on "The Press and Foreign Affairs." - Daily Photo by Will Sapp Twelve-year-old Maurice Gould is telling his friends today how he played football with Michigan's grand old man of sports, Fielding H.

At 2 p.m. on the Stadium grid- iron, Michigan's undefeated football team makes its 1940 Western Con- ference debut against wily Bob Zupp- ke's unpredictable Illinois Indians. For more than 42,000 Homecom- ing spectators, today's battle should produce a hard-fought, blood-thirsty brand of football. Both squads will be fighting desperately for a victory.- Eachhwould relish the taste of tri- umph. Michigan, for example, well remem- bers the fate it suffered just a year ago at the hands of this same In- dian band. Undefeated, untied, in fact, untouched, the Wolverines-rolled into Champaign for an apparent soft touch. Inspired Illini But there instead was an inspired and aroused Illini eleven, a team that stunned the gridiron world with a 16-7 victory over the over-confident Wolverines. Not only was Michigan soundly beaten in Champaign's Memorial Stadium last autumn, but in the pro- cess its favorite son, All-American Tom Harmon, was stopped for the only time in his great career. Count To Settle Michigan has that count to settle today. The Crisler squad goes into the battle undefeated again. Still choking on last year's defeat, the Wolverines that finished a light work- out oh the Stadium tur) and depart- ed for\Barton Hills yesterday were far from an over-confident pack. Intead they were a shrieking band of gridders who were hungry for re- venge. Physically and psychologically at a peak, Michigan will be a hard bunch to beat today. But Illinois, once again, is no soft touch. The team tha~t defeated Mich- igan last year is even stronger this campaign. They've added weight, power and experience to the Zuppke bundle. And with it all, they still have an undying desire to beat Mich- igan by stopping Harmon. Zuppke has them at full charge for this encounter. The Harmon- Grange angle, the fact that Michigan is ope of the two teams in the Con- ference that still hold a series edge over the Indians, the remembrance of last year's remarkable decision all have supplied the old fox with food for his build-up talks. So far this year, the Illii have split even on their schedule, soundly trouncing Bradley Tech, 31-0, and los- ing to Southern California, 13-7. Powerful Passing But in these two encounters, the men of Zuppke have displayed a powerful passing attack, one that they are basing their hopes on today. Against Bradley, for example, Ill- nois completed 15 of 28 passes for 266 yards while the Zuppke bullet- men connected for 13 of 25 tosses against the Trojans for 137 yards. Against an aerial attack such as this, Michigan must display an improved pass defense in order to carry out its venegeance motives today. The Wol- verines have only met one opponent so far with a mentionable aerial at- tack, and that one, Michigan 3tate, bombed the Michigan fortress for two touchdowns. Zuppke has six men in his back- field who can toss the pigskin with pleasing prowess. In the Southern California game, all six-Johnny Worban, Myron Pfiefer, Jimmy Eas- (Continued on Page 6) New Sudent Directory As hundreds of sports fans gather to honor the "grand old man" to- night, all will reminisce on the feat- ures of a career which began with the legendary point-a-minute teams and ended with one of the greatest athletic plants in the world. All will agree that the name Fielding H. Yost will remain immortal in the annals of the sports world. From 1901 to 1905 the five teams coached by Yost played 54 games without a loss, including 29 succes- sive victories, and scored 2,821 points to their opponents' 42. These were the first of 20 teams to be instruct- ed by Yost, the first of ten confer- ence champions. Yost coached his 1901 team to a 49-0 victory over Stanford in the first Rose Bowl bame ever held. Will- ie Heston and his team-mates played such amazing football that their opponents walked off the .field be- fore the final gun. Even more significant to Yost than his mighty football teams was the goal' he worked toward as athletic director of the University. He inaug- arated the system of "Athletics for all" and built a $4,000,000 plant to carry out his plan. Included in the impressive list of* facilities are the Coloseum; Yost Field House with its basketball and track units; the University Golf' Course; the Intramural Building which has a main gym, a swimming pool, and numerous other rooms for sports; and 40 tennis courts on Fer- ry :Field. mances in the Olympics have con- formed to the Yost plan of better ath- le tics for more students. The Yost program has been adopted bynnum- erous institutions over the, nation and is a model for future sports systems.

Stan- ton of the history department de-, clared in an interview yesterday. The Japanese mean to bluff Bri- tain into cutting off China's most vital line of communication and sup- ply, Dr. Stanton said, thereby great- ly weakening its resistance, possibly 'to the point of collapse. Sketching the nature of the dirt road and its 2,000 mile course through otherwise impassable territories, Dr. Stanton pointed out that as a bomb- ing objective the road would be al- most a waste of Japanese muntions. Bombing may slacken the flow of materials over the road, he admit- for hil it 11mr h vrfmlly im cessing of steel in the manufacture of munitions and which are not found in sufficient abundance anywhere else in the world. Ever since the road was opened three years ago, Dr. Stanton ex- plained, Brtiain has sent its muni- tions to China. It has become a policy of Britain, he said, to furnish arsenals and forts in China to re- tard the advance of the Japanese. The presense of Russia in the East is important, he said, for that nation will encourage Japan to ad- vance in the South, where Britain is concerned, instead of beyond Man- chucko, or into Russian territory. Dr. Stanton pointed out that the diplomatic victory which Japan claimed three months ago when Britain closed the road was not valid. The road was closed because of the tmnxical rainy eason. he said. which I
