Waves of 15 to 20 planes unloaded heavy bombs at five minutes inter- vals. More offices and homes crum- bled and just after midnight a direct hit wrecked part of a hospital. Bombs fell, not singly but in big clusters, all over the capital. Fire- men fought desperately against nu- merous fires. The RAF counter-attacked against German positions on the French "in- vasion coast" and watchers in Eng- land saw the pyramiding fire of ex- plosions and anti-aircraft defense across the English Channel. Greek Position Greece shaped up as the pivotal battlefield of the diplomatic war i southeast Europe. Although there was no confirma- tion of Cairo reports that ultimatum- like Axis demands already have been made in Athens, there were signs they might be soon. There were said to be demands that King George II of Greece abdicate, Premier-Dictator John Metaxas re- sign to make way for a pro-Axis gov- ernment, Greece break off trade with Britain, cede territory to Italy and Bulgaria and give the Axis rights to air bases. Existence of such demands was de- nied in Berlin but in Rome, the us- ually well-informed Fascist weekly, Relazioni Internazional, hinted they might be impending. And, for the second tiie since trouble for the Bal- kans began brewing, Premier Musso- lini started out to inspect his built- for-blitzkreig army, thistime on the Yugoslav frontier. German Viewpoint The German view apparently was that Greece and 'Turkey, both Bri- tish-guaranteed, could be expected to fall into line with Axis plans without extreme pressure. If they don't see that their bread is buttered on the side of the Axis, one authorized Nazi commentator observed, it is just too bad for them. But British counter-moves evident- ly were being organized to try to checkmate the Axis' "new order," possibly by urging Bulgaria to defer territorial claims against Greece and to reject any Rome-Berlin bid to join it against Greece and Turkey. While confidential documents in the British legation at Sofia were reported being burned lest the lega- tion be forcedto beat a hasty re- treat from Bulgaria, Britain's minis- ter to that kingdom, George Rendel, and her ambassador to Turkey, Sir Hughe Knatchbull-Hugessen, con- ferred at Istanbul. Nazi Claims In the war at sea, the Nazi high command said 31 ships totalling 173,- 650 tons hd been sunk by U-boats recently, all but five of them out of a single convoy in one night. On their own credit side, the Bri- tish reported that RAF bombers dived down from thick clouds Friday night to blast Hamburg's Blohm and Voss shipyards "where German warships are known to be under construction." Hits also were reported on the Ger- mania shipyards at Hamburg, the nav al h a :r .. t ---narn innlr Vandenberg, Cancels Talk In Ann Arbor Due to a sudden change in itiner- ary, Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg of Michigtn will not be able to make his scheduled appearance here today at the Michigan Union, it was an- nounced late last night. The Senator was to speak before a Michigan Forum audience this after- noon in a discussion of the issues of, the campaign. His talk was to be the second in a series of addresses by prominent men of the several political parties on current political and social juestions. A Rorum audience of 500 heard Socialist presidential candi- date,dNorman Thomas, open the ser- ies last Thursday speaking on th subject, "Butter and Guns." Contacts have already been made with a Democratic speaker to address1 the Michigan Forum in the near fu- ture. Theology Prof. Will Give Talk 'Nature Of Man' Is Topic Of ReligiousLecture Robert Lowery Calhoun, professor of historical theology at Yale's Divin- ity School will give his views of the "Nature of Man", lecture topic of the current series sponsored by the Stu- dent Religious Association at 8:15 p.m. Tuesday in the Rackham Lecture Hall. As an expert in the history of re-1 ligion and its development he has become a popular writer and speaker for a collegiate audience. He will pre- sent the viewpoint of a liberal Prot- estant of this year's subject. Noted also as a fellow of Saybrook College, Dr. Calhoun has published "God and The Common Life" in 1935, "What Is Man", in 1939, "Religious Realism" among others. He has fre- quently been a contributor to pop- ular religious magazines. Dr. Calhoun appears as the second' speaker in the series offering to stu- dents and faculty the opinions of a scientist theologian, rabbi, and edu- cator on the character of mankind. The program is a continuation of the study of religion and its elements inaugurated two years ago. Amid the thunderous applause and cheers of 2.000 enthusiastic fans Fielding H. Yost, the grand old man of sports, celebrated his 40th year of service to the University last night at a testimonial banquet sponsored by Michigan alumni. Seated in front of a huge yellow drape enscribed with the legend "A Toast to Yost from Coast to Coast," the grand old man heard over a score of speakers pay tribute to his years of accomplishment as a pacemaker in the world of athletics. NBC Broadcast An NBC broadcast over the Blue Network carried to all parts of the nation the sentiments of Louis Elbel, composer of "The Victors," Charles A. Baird, athletic director who hired Yost as coach, Robert Zuppke, coach of the Illinois football team and long- time rival of Yost, George Sisler, famed baseball star, Branch Rick- ey, president of the St. Louis Cardi- nals, John J. Griffiths, commission- er of the Western Conference, and Willie Heston, all-time All-American and Tom Harmon. The Varsity Band added atmos- phere to the program with renditions of "The Victors" and "Varsity," and the University Glee Club sang noted Michigan songs. Probably the greatest tribute that could be paid to any sports leader was voiced by Coach Robert Zuppke of Illinois when said of Yost, "From the first time I met him in 1904 un- til this afternoon, I've fought him and argued with him, tried to be funny with him and tried to chisel him but couldn't do it. I've seen all the Mich- igan tribe from Heston to Harmon and I still say from my heart, Mich- igan is the champion of the West." Gifts For Yost Gifts presented included a plaque offered by Bill Combs, '41, in behalf of the M Club, a blanket inscribed "The Great Scalper Yost" given by Forrest Evashevski for Michigamuai and a plaque presented by Dr. L. W. Olds for Michigan Amateur Athletic Union. William Essery represented ani alumni committee in presenting to the University an honor fund entitled Fielding H. Yost Honor Awards which are to be offered as encouragement to scholastic endeavor. Students with five semesters credit in the Univer-; sity are eligible to consideration by an administrative council. Other speakers on the program in-, cluded President Alexander G. Ruth-; ven, Murray D. Van Waggon'er, Wal- ter Bennett, president of the M Club, Senator Arthur Vandenberg and Fred M. Zeder, '09., By DON WIRTCHAFTER Unbeaten Michigan battered a helpless but hard fighting Illini squad with furious revenge blows in the Stadium yesterday. Battling to redeem itself for last year's stunning defeat at the hands of Bob Zuppke's crew the Wolverine eleven pounded the Indians all over the rain-soaked turf for a 28-0 triumph. It was the worst walloping Michigan has handed Illinois since 1932 when the Wolverines spanked the men of Zuppke, 32-0. The 39,114 Homecoming spectators who braved a chilly autumn drizzle saw vengeful Michigan strike early, roll up 21 points in the first half and then coast home by adding a final touchdown in the third period. If nothing else, the Wolverines proved yesterday that they aren't a "one-man-team." There was more to the potent Michigan attack than all-American Tom Harmon. Bothered by a muddy turf and an aroused fllini defense that wanted no part of comparisons, the Hoosier Hammer had his troubles yesterday. In 21 attempts, he was held to"58 yards gained, an average far below that which he has maintained against Michigan's first three victims this year. But while the Illini line spent the afternoon chasing Harmon, Michigan unleashed another of its trusty weapons, the bulleting bomber, Bob Westfall who. thrashed the Indian forward wall to shreds. Time after time he plowed over the guards for sizable gains. Behind a hard charging Wolverine line, the rugged fullback, a mudder, if there ever was one, carried the ball 37 times for 152 yards. Although he 4accounted for only one of the Mich- BOB WESTFALL Corps Area Announces Mi e n S Draft Quota WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-(/P)-A tentative quota of 47,282 selective serviceisoldiers which Michigan will be expected to contribute to the Army between Nov. 18 and next July 1 was announced today. The number is Michigan's portion of the 800,000 men slated to be called to service from, all parts of the na- tion. Eelective service headquarters said tenttive plans for drafting the men before March 1 call for a maximum Senate Petitions Due This Week Elections Will Take Place Friday,_Nov. 1 Activity in campus politics will be- gin this week when petitions will be accepted for the Student Senate elec- tion to be held Friday, Nov. 1. Six- teen Student Senators are to be elec- ted. William Elmer, '41, and Robert Speckhard, '42, directors of the elec- tion for the Senate have announced that any scholastically eligible stu- dent may have his name placed on an official ballot by filing a nominat- ing petition and paying a fifty cent filing fee. The petitions must be sign- ed by not less than six students and are to be handed in to the Board of Elections at the Student Senate of- fiec, Room 302 in the Union between the hours of 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. Mon- day through Friday inclusive. No student may sign more than one such petition. Candidates may have a designation of not to exceed three words printed after their names on the official ballot if they so desire. The Student Senate is the only pop- ular elected body on the campus and consequently its leaders refer to it as the "only truly" representative body that really reflects student opinion. Journalists Elect of 22,110 white men and 1,160 Ne- groes from Michigan. The 6th Corps Area, which includes Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin; was assigned a tentative quota by July 1 of 131,137 men, with maximum quo- tas of 61,685 white men and 2,849 Negroes to be requisitioned by Mar. 1. The Illinois July 1 quota was fixed at 62,223, with a maximum call by March 1 of 28,989 white men and 1,637 Negroes. Wisconsin's July 1 total is 21,632, with 10,586 white men and 52 Ne- groes as the maximum number of draftees by March 1. National selective service head- quarters compiled the quotas, basing them on estimates of the number of men in each state who are fit and available for immediate Army serv- ice, with credits to each state for the number of volunteers each is estimat- ed to have furnished the armed forces already. The tentative quotas will be re- placed by more exact figures when it is determined precisely how many fit and available men each state has and how many volunteers each has already contributed. Quotas will be revised periodically. The surgeon-general's office of the Army made plans today' to call out 4,007 members of the Army Reserve Nurse Corps by next July 1. The nurses will serve in hospitals at all training camps and in the gen- eral hospitals at all training camps and in the general hospitals to be constructed in or near larger cities. These hospitals will cost approxi- mately $11,000,000 with the smaller ones having 100 beds or more and the larger units having thousands. , Petition Blanks, Now Available At Union Office J-Hop, Soph Prom Petition Must Have 25 Names By DeadlineFriday Official petition blanks for J-Hop and Soph Prom committees may be had by calling at the Student Offices of the Union between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. tomorrow. through Thursday, it was announced yesterday by Ward Quaal, '41, president of the Men's Judiciary Council.

The Soph Prom committee will be comprised of eight members, five from the Literary College and three from the Engineering College.I igan touchdowns, Westfall was the spearhead of the offensive attack and constantly placed the Wolverines in scoring position. Even under the watchful eyes of the entire Illinois squad, Harmon added 10 points to his year's total of 69 yes- terday by galloping over once from the four-yard line, converting for one extra point and completing a 120- yard attempted place-kick, the second three-pointer he has scored in his career, Michigan meant business yester- day. The Wolverines had a score to settle, and it didn't take them long to start on their destructive way. Twice in the opening /period, they struck with long sustained marches, one starting on their own 30 and the other on their 31. Smart Football The Wolverines played smart foot- ball and there was no stopping them once they began rolling. Capt. For- est Evashevski sent Westfall through the center of the line until the Illini pulled their defense. Once that hap- pened, the Wolverines used Harmon or halfback Davey Nelson off the tackles or around the ends and the damage was done. That brought Westfall back to work again. He slashed over left guard then right, left and right again and in four plays Michigan was' on the Indian 25. After a two-yard plunge for an- other first down by the Hatiner, Westfall bulleted over center to the 17 where halfback Ralph Ehni and fullback Myron Pfeifer pulled him down. A Harmon thrust over cen- ter went for no gain but set up the next play. Instead of an eleventh straight power plunge, Harmon, on a fake spinner to Westfall, skirted right end, found a pinched-in Illi- nois' line and moved on to the 12. Touchdown Play With the Indians watching Har- mon and Westfall, Evy sent Nelson on a reverse off the weak right side and Michigan had a touchdown. Har- mon's attempted conversion sailed to the left of the posts. Michigan had to carry the ball just eight more times before it tallied again. The Illini received the kick- off but Ehni was forced to punt after two unsuccessful line plays, Har- mon downing the ball on his own 31. Once again it was Westfall blast- ing over the Illini center time after t m.unmtilH armon nrinte darond Van wagoner, F.D.R., Jr. Stop In Ann Arbor, Greet Harmon, AlphaD Omicron Pi, Sigma Chi Take Top Decorative.

Van Wagoner, both of whom had driven from Detroit through yesterday afternoon's cold rains to see the Michigan-Illinois game and had come too late even for the last quarter. Tom Harmon was there to meet everyone. Mr. Roosevelt expressed his regret at being unable to see the game and was photographed with Tom, together with Fred Niketh, '41L, nr-gnizer of the "Vnimaw T.vers for greater number of students. He con- trasted this with the observation that thus far all Mr. Willkie has been able to do is to offer vague promises of jobs for youth. The present administration realizes that democracy depends upon a well- educated populace, he' said, and its policies have been directed by that realization. Mr. Roosevelt encouraged Niketh in his organization's effort to lead youth toward an active interest in practical political activity. He assured reporters that the Dmorati Party is ronfident of vi.
