Forest Evashev- ski, pilot of the all-powerful and undefeated Wolverines, will not play against Minnesota next week. Evy will not lead the maize-and-blue football tribe on the field for its most important contest of the season. He will be recovering from an opera- tion he will undergo today to remove a fractured bone chip from the outer end of his collar bone. The blow will strike not lightly on a team that has depended through five straight victories on Evashevski for powerful blocking, field leadership, and supreme strategy as a play caller. Ceithaml Gets The Job To George Ceithaml, 195 pounds of backfield dynamite, will go Evy's job against the Golden Gophers of Minneapolis Saturday. Behind Ceithaml is plucky, 155-pound Harry Kohl. Both Kohl and Ceithaml have entered combat before, and black-haired George emerged from the Pennsylvania, game a kind of hero in his own right. Michigan's cement-shouldered captain suffered his injury in that Penn game as he threw a jolting block into 0 British Guns Repulse Axis Aerial Raids RAF Looses Heavy Attack On Railroads Of Berlin; Power Station Bombed London Strafed In Night Assault LONDON, Nov. 2-(AP)--German and Italian raiding squadrons were beaten off short of London time and aigain today and, at the end of another week of aerial siege, the Air Ministry declared the invaders' striking pow- c r was faltering, that Nazi plane l3ses were running ahead of the British 3 to 1 and Nazi losses in air- men 14 to 1. Tonight the customary after-dark assault opened with reports that a raiding plane had machine-gunned London streets in a busy shopping area crowded with customers making their week-end purchases. Two bursts of a chattering gun, according to British accounts of the incident, cleared a congested street of pedestrians, most of them women carrying shopping bags. Hostile planes, which had plunged through a gale sweeping the Channel, crossed the southeast coast early in the night and headed for London. In two smashes at Berlin official- ly called the heaviest ever loosed by the RAF, British bombers were de- clared tonight to have repeatedly bombarded three of the German cap- ital's main railway centers and left a mile-long blaze about a vital power station. One raiding wave, the Air Minis- try said, went into action shortly af- ter 8 p.m. last night and stayed on the job nearly two hours and another flew in over the city at 2:20 a.m. today and fired away with bombs for 40 minutes. It wasBerlin's Klingenburg power station, . returning pilots reported, which formed the biggest torch left by their tons of explosives and hun- dreds of incendiary bombs. Poll Analyses Show Student Conservatisrm Michigan students are more con- servative than the rest of the coun- try, a comparison between a poll taken by the Bureau of Student Opin- ion and Fortune Magazine's poll re- veals. The student poll is directed by Frank Bender, '43. Of a carefully seletced sample of 574 students, 47.9 per cent prefer Willkie for president, while the For- tune poll shows that 45.8 per cent favor Roosevelt. The student poll indicates that 38.5 per cent support Roosevelt whereas the Fortune poll reveals the same percentage pledged to Willkie. After the data of the student poll was broken into age groups of 16-20 (Continued on Page 7) It1 R A V MIAMI * A TLAN KEY CS CEA11 ib. *~ A ~ * & BLI C TIc V 04 U.S.NAVAL BASE 10 i SAN JUAmNANAM() BAYIXIA-'P--JUAN J .'. .......

Gloomy Message Today Today arrived the message of gloom from team physician Dr. George A. Hammond. The doctor said X-rays showed that a small chunk of that old cement had chipped away from the collar bone, and would have to be removed. How serious is it? Dr. Hammond isn't exactly sure. "But it will mean no Evy for the Minnesota game," he said, "and after that we will have to see." The surgery itself is not serious, he added.

The deciding factor is the four other candidates elected. William Clark, '42, who was fourth to attain the election quota (total votes divid- ed by number of positions to be filled) favors the program of the Univer- sity Progressives. Also substantially agreed to the immediate program of the Progres- sives is William Gestimt, '42, Ameri- can Student Union candidate, as is uilim F lmmnn 143 wh n o a Wildcats Lose Close Struggle To Minnesota Golden Gophers Edge Out' Northwestern Eleven By SinglePoint, 13-12 EVANSTON, Ill., Nov. 2--0)--Still undefeated, still untied, Minnesota's Golden Avalanche roared along in football's empire today in quest of the Western Conference Championship and national honors. By the margin of a single point af- ter touchdown, Minnesota, unable to beat Northwestern in its home field, since 1929, finally triumphed 13 to 12 over the hitherto-undefeated Wild- cats before a nerve-wracked crowd of 48,000 spectators. It was Minnesota's fifth straight win of the season. Minnesota's victory, which left the Gophers and Michigan the only un- defeated and untied elevens in the Conference, was achieved by a pow- erful rushing game, one timely pass and the place-kicking accuracy of Joe Mernik, whose sucessful try-for -point after the first Gopher touch- down ultimately meant victory as the Wildcats missed on two after- touchdown attempts. Led by Bob Sweiger, who scored both Minnesota touchdowns, George Franck and Bruce Smith, the Goph- ers established themselves as a dan- gerous challenger for the "Big Ten" title by whipping a valiant Northwes- tern team that never gave up the battle until the final gun. The final period was one of the most exciting battle royals witnessed in Dyche Stadium in years. Trailing 13 to 6 Northwestern scored a touch- down on the first play of the last' (Continued on Page 3) Republicans, Democrats campaign of tremendous- and triv- ial - issues, a campaign fought out with a slugging tenacity seldom equalled, a campaign holding a fate- ful decision for America, is almost ended. The nation will choose between Franklin D. Roosevelt, the personifi- cation of the New Deal, and Wendell Willkie, lawyer and former public utilities executive who endorses a number of New Deal measures but has denounced New Deal methods and philosophies. The minor party slate include the Socialist Ticket headed by the vet- eran Norman Thomas and the Com- munist Party with Earl Browder as its nominee. Roger W.

Two in particular stand out now. The first is war. Willkie, although endorsing all possible military as- sistance to Great Britain, emphatical- ly contends that a provocative at- titude toward the Axis countries will lead to war if the President is re- elected. Ii reply, the President says that any charge that he is heading toward war is contrarysto all the facts in the record. It is for peace he has labored, he says, and will continue to labor throughout his life. The second great issue is the sum- mation of months of controversy over power in Washington. The Republi- cans contend this issue is epitomized in the proposal that, contrary to tradition, the president is elected for a third term. Dictatorship may be the result, says Willkie. Kreutzer Sonata' Opens Here Friday The genius of Tolstoy and Beethov- en will be brought to the Lydia Men- delssohn Theatre's screen when the Art Cinema League brings the French film "Kreutzer Sonata" here at 8:30 p.m. Friday for a two-day run. All seats for the performance Fri- day and Saturday will be reserved and may be had on and after Thurs- day by calling Albert Stutz, Grad, manager of the Art Cinema League, at 6300. Tickets will sell for 35c. Made in France, with English sub- titles, "Kreutzer Sonata" is based on a story by Count Leo Tolstoy and the music of Beethoven. Roosevelt supporters answer that the powers of the Federal Govern- ment have necessarily been increased to meet successive crises - the de- pession, the war abroad and the ur- gent necessity for rearmament. They add that Congress still functions, the election is free, the press is free, speech is free, and they ask: "What sign is there of an impending dicta- torship?" Roosevelt's knowledge of foreign affairs makes a third term necessary at a time of crisis such as this, they assert. Toohey Tallis Here Monday Before Forum Former Aide Of Browder To Present Campaign Questions To Students Pat Toohey, former secretary to Earl Browder and now a member of the National Committee of the Com- muinist Party, will address a meeting of the Michigan Forum at 4:15 to- morrow in the North Lounge of the Michigan Union on the issues of the presidential campaign. The talk is the third in a series of addresses by representatives of the various political parties. Toohey fol- lows to the rostrum of the Forum Norman Thomas and Democratic Sen- ator Prentiss M. Brown. Wendell L. Willkie made a personal appearance in Ann Arbor under the sponsorship of the local Republican organiza- tion. As Earl Browder, Communist pres- idential candidate, is detained in the State of New York on court order, Toohey will deliver Mr. Browder's per- sonal message to the campus. Toohey is an Irishman who has spent much of his life among the mine workers, Eugene Olmsted, '42, president of the local chapter of the Young Communist League, said. He has returned recently from a visit to the Soviet Union with vice- presidential candidate, James Ford, and has been active in carrying out the work of the Communist campaign this year, Olmsted commented.

(By The Associated Press) ATHENS, Greece, Nov. 2.-Greece's hard-fighting mountain troops were reported officially tonight to have captured a hill four milesinside Al- banian territory overlooking Koritza after a furious bayonet charge against the Italian invaders and reliable re- ports said the Italians still have not reached the main Greek defense lines after six days of fighting. There was no information in Ath- ens, however, on just how far the Italians have penetrated Greek terri- tory on the Epirus sector, where they have concentrated their drive. But some reports from the front said the Italians had made scant gains in the last three days in this area despite repeated attacks with tank units along the road to Ioannina, cov- ered by heavy Greek artillery fire. Meanwhile the Italians reported sending their crack "disperato" squadron of bombers and fighters against Greece today, planting bombs from shore to shore of the invaded kingdom, and said the only peace the Greeks would get from them would be by the sword. "Italy has no intention of entering into peace negotiations with Greece," an authoritative source said. ."The Greek rejection of our ultimatum set the Italian military machine in motion. It will proceed to deal with ;he situation." The high command reported that an Italian:land pinchers was closing on the strategic Northwestern base town of Ioannina both from the Kala- mnas River valley on the Northwest of .he town and from the Pindos heights on the northeast, which reach eleva- tions above 7,000 feet.
