But the memory that was printed indelibly in the minds of the 33,100 sweltering fans who jammed this little park for Brooklyn's first series show in 21 years was the gallant fight of old Fred Fitzsimmons until a line drive struck him on the left leg in the seventh inning and knocked him out of the ball game.

Smith predicted today that de- fense expenditures ot of the Treas- ury will total $18,000,000,000 this fiscal year or $135 for every person in the country. "In the near future," he said, "de- fense costs will take 18 per cent of the national income." This estimate was $2,500,000,000 higher than 'a similar calculation he made a few months ago. He said the increase was due to faster de- fense factory construction, higher prices onsome items, and new appro- priations. Taking all budgetary items, Smith estimated the treasury would spend $24,581,000,000, take in $11,998,000,000 in taxes and other revenue, and have a deficit of $12,583,000,000.

Wayne And Michigan Teachers Petiton For Declaration Of War On Germany O er)a Adding their voices to those that have already been insisting "the time is now,"278 teachers at the Univer- sity of Michigan and Wayne Univer sity. yesterday petitioned Michigan Congressmen for "total war upon Germany and her tools until ,Hitler- ism is utterly destroyed." While demanding no specific mea- sures-these, it was asserted in a separate cover letter, must be left to the discretion of national leaders -the petition did declare that "we should league ourselves without stint or limit to the. enemies of Hitlerism and thus bring the war to a victor- ious termination." 1financial and material aid alone, in the opinion of the signers, cannot bring about the defeat of fascism. According 'to the petitions, "it will require military and naval action, the extent of which cannot now be for- seen but which will certainly be ,in- creased with each month of delay." Originated At Wayne The idea for such an undertaking had its origin at Wayne where Profs. Bryan Rust and Alfred H. Kelly were the leaders of the drive for signa- tures., Profs. Carlton Wells of the English department and Preston Slos- son of the history department filled similar roles here. In a separate letter which accom- panied the petitions, these men em- phasized that the signers were acting in the capacity of private citizens and did not represent any institution or organization.' In return for the "total" aid which the teachers are demanding, they 4so call for a "definite pledge" from the nations who would be our allies. Such a pledge would guarantee "an international league or federation- based on political liberty and econ- omic justice-strong enough to pre- vent the recurrence of future wars." The original cover letter and peti- tions, with the 275 signatures, were sent to Senator Prentiss M. Brown, while a copy of both was sent to Sen- ator Arthur Vandenberg and all the Michigan members of the House of Representatives. According to information released by Professor Wells, all the schools and colleges of the University were represented by one or more signa- tures. Of the 60 departments in the College of Literature, Science and the Arts, 44 were likewise represented. Significant Trend Signers were limited to members of the teaching staff and included fac- ulty men of every rank. 67 were full professors, 40 associate professors, 34 assistant professors, 25 teaching fel- lows and six of other rank. The same held true at Wayne where the divisions were 12, 20, 18 and 25, respectively. The present petition is considered by the sponsors as being the natural follow-up of one they sent to Con- gress last February. At that time the Athletic Board Reelects Aigler; Decreases Debt Prof. Ralph W. Aigler was re- elected chairman of the Board in Control of Physical Education for the 26th consecutive year, and Michigan's athletic board also voted Friday to re-! tire' $75,000 of its bonded indebted- ness as of Oct. 15. The original bond issue of $1,500,- 000 for construction of the Wolverine football stadium, sports building, golf course and other plant additions is thus reduced to within $25,000 of reaching the halfway mark in bond retirement. Yet outstanding is $775,000. Chirp 7o0ntest Fems To Show Tomorrow Any girl who wishes to enter the School of Music-Hour of Charm $1,000 singing contest should register between 3:30 and 5 p.m. tomorrow with Prof. Arthur Hackett in the music school. Preliminary auditions will be held by the music school during the week to select 10 girls to sing at the final regional contest in Lydia Mendel- ssohn Theatre on October 15. If Michigan's entrant wins the final competition she will receive $1,000 and the University of Michi- gan will be awarded a $4,000 schol- ar.ship for needy musical students. signers were demanding the passage of the Lease-Lend Bill. Signatures then numbered 214, all of them ob- tained from members of the Univer- sity teaching 'staff. Limited To Teachers Professor Slosson said that he thought the trend indicated by the two petitions was a significant one and representative of other colleges and uiiversities throughout the country, . "Te faculty, just as the student body, at Michigan is made up of persons from every section of the nation," he pointed out, "and it can. be considered typical of most edu- cational institutions. I would almost consider the petitions a sort of Gallup, Poll of the academic world. More and more educators are realizing the nec- essity of waging total war on Hitler now.'" Graduate School To' Hold Activities Night Wlednesday The graduate school social program will get off to a flying start with an evening of entertainment starting at 8 p.m. Wednesday in the Rackham Building. Graduate students, faculty mem- bers and alumni will be greeted by President Alexander G. Ruthven, I Dean Clarence Yoakum and President, of the Graduate Student Council, Abe Rosenzweig. Entertainment attractions will in- clude movies of the Iowa-Michigan grid contest in Rackham Amphi- theatre, dancing in the assembly hall, a -classical recording concert in the men's lounge, bridge games and re-j freshments. Hull Asks U.S. For Defense From Piracy WASHINGTON, Oct. 4. -(AP)- Secretary Hull today described the sinking of the American-owned tank- er, the I. C. White, as an act of "fightfulness," and called upon the United States to invoke the right of self-defense against Nazi "piracy." The fact that the ship had been transferred to Panamanian registry, placed at the disposal of the British and was sailing under British orders was secondary, in his opinion. He made it clear that to his mind the, real significance was that: The I. C. White was torpedoed as part of the Nazi program of world conquest. That that movement ne- cessitated the command of'the seas, which America must resist in its own self defense. Neutrality Revision Observers immediately tied his re- marks in with the current agitation for revision of the neutrality law. The administration wants that act amended to remove restrictions which now forbid American ships to carry guns for their protection and keep them from sailing into belligerent ports with supplies. President Roosevelt plans a con- ference with Senate leaders of both parties next Tuesday, after which he will decide the extent to which Con- gress will be asked to revise the law. Fate Learned Yesterday The I. C. White was torpedoed in the South Atlantic on Sept. 27. Her fate was learned yesterday when the American freighter West Nilus picked up 18 men about 450 miles east of the Brazilian coast. Today the freighter Delnorte reported rescue of 17 others, leaving four of the crew of 39 un- accounted for. Congressional supporters of the Roosevelt foreign policy immediately seized upon the incident to bolster their case for amending or repealing the neutrality law, with the Presi- derit's opponents dissenting. Mr. Hull was asked about it at his press con- ference today, "That seems to be another act of lawlessness, piracy and attempted frightfulness in connection with the general movement to drive people off the Atlantic as a part of the world movement of conquest," he said. power combination with deadly effi- ciency, the Wolverines really rolled. Capt. Bob Westfall bulleted to the 10-yard line in two smashes, Kuzma threw an incomplete forward pass, then on fourth down Westy again dragged Iowa tacklers with irresist- ible force to their own three for a first down. Legs driving, Kuzma scored over left tackle on his seond try to put the Wolverines into the lead. Melzow's placekick was to the right of the goalpost, leaving the count, 6-0. Wolverines In First That was the scoring for the day. But it doesn't begin to tll the real story of the game. The Wolverines, by virtue of the victory, move into first place in the young Confeence campaign. But the Hawkeyes, who poured everything they had into this grueling contest, soared to inspira- tional heights and amassed a definite edge over the Maize and Blue in game statistics. Slated to lose by at least two touchdowns by expert observers, the slim band of Hawks asked nothing, gave nothing. They played rough, tough 60-minute football, scrappig for every inch of ground. They h heard of Michigan's g.reat forward wall. But they paid it no deference. They had read about the Wolverines' rugged running attack which had rolled over Michigan State only seve# days before. But they rose up in all their "fury and threw it back our times within their own six-yard line. Michigan Outgained 77 Statistics showed that the invad- ers' speed-saturated backfield drove for 147 yards despite the soggy ground, much of it around the Wl- verinedflanks, and gained 46 yards by passing. Michigan, on the other' hand, was held to a rushing total, of 129 yards, while failing to complete any of its four passes. From the opening whistle Iowa gave indications of its toughness. They took the kickoff, and sparked by a diversified, intricate offense, promptly marched to Michigan's 33- yard tine before they were halted. Featured by te off-tackleesmashes of fullback Bill Green and the light- ning-quick end runs of fancy-step- ping Bus Mertes, the Hawk attack clicked off three quick first downs, but a fourth down pass was grounded and Michigan took over. Then fol- lowed an exchange of punts and the (Continued on Page ) AFL Strike Halts Freight Shipments DETROIT, Oct. 4.-UP)-A juris- dictional dispute between two Amer- ican Federation of Labor Unions cu - minated in a strike today that hlted air and rail shipments of the Rail- way Express Agency into and outf Detroit., The strike, called at midnight, af- fected 800 employes.

SIMPSON (Associate'd Press Staff Writer) Implicit in utterly conflicting Lon- don and Rome accounts of recent sea-air battles in the Mediterranean is the obvious fact that heavy British reinforcements in men and fighting gear are being rushed eastward through those dangerous waters. They may be destined to join battle with their Nazi foes, fighting beside Russian troops in defense of the Cau- casus. Certainly they are designed to increase substantially the strength of ill's recent intimation that his gov- ernment had weighed unfavorably counter invasion propsals as a means of relieveing pressure on Russia does not rule out that possibility.
