And it was the grueling two and a half weeks that. Michigan's rugged squad spent in pre-season condi- tioning that made the difference. The long practice hours devoted to calisthenics, blocking, tackling, indi- vidual contact work, lung-searing wind sprints-all played their part, all paid rich dividends as the Wol- verine forward wall paced the 1941 Michigan machine to a 19-7 win over the battle-weary Spartans. Now, having sent the victory-hun- gry State outfit bAck to East Lan- sing empty-handed for the fourth straight year, Michigan's squad is training its sights on the forthcom- ing Big Ten grid campaign which swings into action with a lone con- ference tilt Saturday when the Maize and Blue plays host to Iowa's invad- ing Hawkeyes.

Bill Diehltatkcenter, and big Jim Walker at tackle. It was the report of Iowa's fast- stepping ,offensive around Drake's flankmen last Saturday that especi- ally bothered Wolverine coaches yes- terday. According to Oosterbaan, nearly half of the Hawkeye offen- sive was devoted to end sweeps with; great effectiveness, although Eddie Andeison's outfit was admittedly per- forming under wraps. And it is the mediocre play of MicJigan flankmen which- now stands as one of the most pressing problems confronting the Wolverine mentors as a result of the 'partan clash. Ends Weak While the Maize and Blue lorward wall from tackle to tackle turned in some near-brilliant ball and the Wol- verine backfield Performed effective--, ly, although none-too-smoothly,; the end problem was alleviated but little by the play of the Michigan flank.- men.

DAVEY NELSONI Czechs To Die For Treason, Reports DNP-,. /By The Associated Press) Twenty-four Czechs, including two high-ranking generals, have been sentenced to death by German mili- tary tribunals for plotting the over- throw of the Nazi-erected protector- ate of Bohemia-Moravia, DNB re-" ported today in Berlin. Thus dismembered Czechoslovakia joined the growing list of Nazi-occu- pied territories where unrest creat- ed fresh problems for Germany while it is engaged in an ambitious pro- gram of conquest in Russia. Last night the Germans announced six executions in Czechoslovakia, and the Prague radio, quoted by the BBC and Reuters, reported 14 more per- sons' had been shot down by Nazi firing squads. A 10 p.m. curfew was reported by the Prague station to have been im- posed on restaurants, hotels, theatres and other places of amusement in the six districts placed under' a states of emergency by the Gestapo leader whom Adolf Hitler entrusted with smashing the anti-German manifes- tations. German theatres alone were ex- empt from the curfew, the Prague station said. Thus former Czecho-Slovakia- under Nazi rule since the spring Qf 1939-was added to the lengthening list of conquered nations where a rising tide of sabotage, strikes and violence increased the strain on the huge police and military forces with which the Reich patrols most of Europe. The Germans announced the exe- cutigns, but reported arrests under the state of emergency decreed in the protectorate over the weekend were 'tar under 100." t By HOWARD FENSTEMAKER An all-day program commemorat- ing the hundredth year of the Col- lege of Literature, Science, and the Arts in Ann Arbor will be held Oct.' 15.

Progress in language and literature Italy Bombed In RAF Raids Assault Termed 'All-Out'; Possessions Attacked LONDON, Sept. 29.-()-Italy has been caught in a two-direction, all- out assault by the RAF-an offen- sive based on Britain's own flying fields as well as those of the Middle East-which to some quarters looked tonightl ike the start of a drive to "bomb Italy out of the war.". Synchronized with. the operations of bombers from the sandy plains of Egypt for attacks over the week-end and Sunday night on Italy's insular possessions - Sicily, Sardinia and Rhodes, as well as the Libyan coast of North Africa-the greatest weight- carrying planes of the RAF crossed the Alps last night to raid the north- ern mainland of Italy. They smashed at military, naval and industrial centers, blazing a trail of fire and destruction. So far as the Middle Eastern as- sault on Italy was concerned, the Italian High Command's own ack- nowledgements provided the best in- dication of the scale of attack: raids on the city of Rhodes on the Dodec- anese island of the same name, on Palermo, Trapani, Marsala and Cas- tel Vetrano in Sicily and Bardia, Libya. in the literary college will be dis- cussed by Prof. J.

Harry Bridges May Be Ousted' Ruling May Set Precedent Under New Alien Law WASHINGTON, Sept. 29. -('- Deporting of Harry Bridges was rec- ommended today by a special Justice Department inspector in a report which may become an important pre- cedent in future proceedings under the new alien laws. The report made the flat finding that the Communist Party, from its organization in this country in 1919 up to the present time, advocated overthrow of the government by vio- lence and , that consequerntly any alien who ever had been affiliated with it was subject to deportation. Bridges, it said, had been so affili- ated. \ It also held that affiliation with the Marine Workers Industrial Un- ion, an organization of seamen and longshoremen formed in 1930 and' liquidated in 1935, was automatic ground for deportation. But it found Bridges' membership in the Indus- trial Workers of the World in 1921 was not a ground for deportation.

One Russian tank fc rce alone was declared to have killed and wouniied 1,00 Germans and put 12 Nazi tanks out of action in a northwestern sec- tor, while in the other a Soviet unit killed 600 Germans and recaptured an important point identified only as Furthermore, today's early morn- ,ng communique said 263 German planes were destroyed in two days, representing the widest swath yet cut in the 'Nazi air force in a 48-hour period.

Nazi Warplanes Pound Donets BERLIN, Sept. 29.-(P)--The Ger- man southern armies were reported adancing close to the Donets basiri in the Ukraine tonight, while Nazi warplanes beat heavily at that in- dustrial area in an effort to knock out one more reservoir of the war materials so urgently needed by Rus- sia to replace vast losses on the East- ern front. The precise extent of the Nazi ad- vance was not officially stated, but the official German news agency DNB, supplementing a report by the high command that three Red divi- sions (of about 45,000 men) had been outflanked and destroyed by German and Italian troops northeast of Dnie- peropetrovsk, declared it was obvious invading forces were hammering at the gates of the Donets.
