The winners took two firsts, with Amien Carter winning the 65-yard high hurdles and the Eastern relay team taking , the 880-yard event. Team balance also figured in the point total, with the victors taking places in the mile, the 440-yard dash, and the medley relay. Judson Scores 15 Ted Judson of Ann Arbor High took individual honors with second places in the high hurdles, the low hurdles and the highjump, scoring a total of 15 points. Saginaw Eastern took the lead in the first event with Carter's win and were never headed, although George Osborn's first place in the highjump brought Arthur Hill to within one point of the leaders. Osborn won the highiump with a leap of 5 ft. 11 / in., and subsequently failed by a fraction to tie his own meet record of 6 ft. V4 in., set last' year. No Records Broken Other than Osborn's valiant at- tempt, no meet records were endan- gered. Comparatively slow times were turned in for the hurdles, the mile, and the 440. The next four teams finished in this order: third, Ann Arbor, 23; fourth, Battle Creek, 13; fifth, Flint Central, 16%/4; sixth, Wyandotte, 12. Twenty-seven schools were entered in the meet, and the large number of finalists made it necessary to run the distance events and the relays in several heats. The meet was sponsored by the River Rouge Department of Physical Education and was run under the supervision of Coaches Ken Doherty and Chester Stackhouse. Members of the Michigan track team acted as officials. A track clinic was offered the con- testants yesterday morning, featur- ing track movies at University High and a demonstration by the track team, including a competitive two- mile relay. G. I.

STATEMENT FROM FRICK: National League Starts Season Pledged To Help in War Effort By FORD C. FRICK PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL LEAGUE NEW YORK, April 14-(P)-The National League moves into its fourth campaign during World War II con- fident of its place in the war picture on the home front. A great percentage of our star base- ball players are in the service uni- forms of our country, under Army, Navy, Marine, Air Corps and Coast Guard orders on the various fight- ing fronts. At home the eight Na- tional League clubs are represented on the ball fields by men who are over or under military age, declared Hal Newhouser ,To Hurl Opener Bengals Will Face St. Louis Tuesday TERRE HAUTE, Ind., April 14- (M)-Hal Newhouser, 23-year-old left- handed pitcher who won 29 games and lost nine last season for the Detroit Tigers, is Manager Steve O'Neill's choice to pitch the open- ing game of the American League campaign Tuesday against the St. Louis Browns. Paul (Dizzy) Trout, 27-game win- ner for the 1944 Tigers, drew the second game assignment for Wednes- day, leaving O'Neill a choice between Lefty Frank (Stubby) Overmire and Big Al Benton, Navy dischargee, for Thursday's finale at St. Louis. Either Benton or Overmire will pitch against Cleveland next Friday when the Tigers open their home season at Briggs Stadium. Indications are that Sig Jakucki, who won 13 games and lost nine for the Champion Browns last season, will toil against Newhouser in the lid-lifter. Detroit's opening day lineup and batting order stacks up as follows: Jimmy (Skeeter) Webb, ss. Eddie Mayo, 2b. Jim Outlaw, rf.! Rudy York, 1b. Roger (Doe) Cramer, ef. Bobby Maier, If. Don Ross, 3b. Paul Richards, c. Hal Newhouser, p. physically unfit for war service or discharged veterans. Our best ball teams have gone to war but there is every indication of a keenly com- petitive National League race here at home. Pledged to aid the war effort, the National League will continue to play games for war charities. In line with a request from the Office of De- fense Transportation the 1945 sched- ule is being revised so as to eliminate travel mileage wherever possible. The annual All-Star game has been can- celled for 1945, the World Series will be held only if government officials assure us of their approval. Once again the clubs will have as their guests any servicemen who wish to attend games. This is a policy without restriction. Any man or woman in service uniform may attend any game without admission on week- day, holiday or Sunday. In 1944 ser- vicemen at our games numbered 352,- 082. It is our belief that with many men returning from the fronts, eith- er as casualties or on furlough, the number of uniformed guests will be perhaps doubled in 1945. Red W\ns Beat Toronto To Stay In Cup Play-offs TORONTO, April 14-(AP)-Coming from behind with three goals in the last period the Detroit Red Wings beat the Toronto Maple Leafs to- night, 5 to 3, to keep alive their chance of winning the Stanley Hock- ey Cup. It was Detroit's first victory after losing the first three games of the final playoff series. The Detroit third-period splurge nullified a brilliant individual scor- ing performance by 19-year-old Ted Kennedy of Toronto who tallied all three Toronto goals, two in the first period and one in the second. The result of the game was a dis- appointment to the 14,587 Toronto fans who had looked for the Leafs to finish off the series with four straight victories. The game was the most wide-open of the series, neither team sticking for long at the tight-knit defensive play which characterized the first three games. s Y¢ 3 f ~ y ti f 't.te v 11" < fJ -3 f.Iy > rl .r ti t t- i C Ray>k'k 'Sdt a Y kx T x > r y c > t l Y i < aK nJr 4Cr L Z E ni5"Tt vM"x, " YY°, S lM1l:,; z ~'ty a ?' : " rs'":v:: i rf t" " " q A W V., t , . ; ., . - a"'; .

Late permis- sion was granted to 500 coeds and servicemen who attended the huge show. Ten different acts from both the Navy and Army were included in the show some of which were: the 80 piece Navy band under the direction of William D. Revelli, Doc Fielding as Master of Ceremonies and producer of the Revue. Fielding is a Navy medical student and did many of the imitations, a la Sammy Kaye, told jokes, and sang. Sgt. Anderson of the Army performs magical acts, the 15-piece Navy orches- tra under the direction of Frank Worden made up entirely of Navy V-12 stu- dents played popular dance music. There was also a quartet from Co. A, and. Foo Foo Fenner and his Campus Pays Tribute The sad news of the death of our President, Franklin D. Roosevelt, first came over the radio at 5:45 p. m. and the reaction of the campus and city was that of shocked disbelief. In the Michigan Union students were filing through the cafeteria line as a broadcast was inter- rupted to relay the news that the President was dead. Diners congregated around the loudspeakers of the Union radio and listened to the bulletins reporting the tragedy. At the Daily students crowded around the Associated Press teletype messages to read of the news. A series of phone calls inquired "was it really true?" Dr. Ruthven announced that the University programs would go on as usual as memorial services would be held later. Professors asked for comment expressed the universal reaction of shock and surprise. Dean E. Blythe Stason of the LEw School called the President's death "one of the world's greatest tragedies in view of the problems of completing the war and winning the peace and reconverting the country to a peacetime economy." Prof Preston Slosson, of the history depart- ment, called Truman "a Roosevelt man in the main who irobably will follow his foreign and domestic policies. Unfortunately he is practically unknown to Europe so that he will not have the prestige in Euro- pean councils that Roosevelt would have had" "A great loss to the country-That's about all anybody can say," Prof. D. L. Dumond, of the history department, states. IT AIN'T CONFUSIN', IT'S AMUSIN'! Campus reaction to the time change has been rather less than was expected by many ex- perts, who last week were predicting all sorts of con- fusion for University per- sonnel whose lives hence- forward will be regulated on a double time standard. All University clocks are going by CWT while Ann Arbor remains on EWT. There was talk that all coeds would be coming in to their dorms an hour late, that no one would know when to eat, that 8 o'clocks would be missed fo a week, that the arbor- etum would no longer grow dark at a reasonable hour, that trains would have left an hour before the prospective student passengers got there, and that in general students, like spring, would be a lit- tle late this year. Those who were waiting to see the campus in turmoil were
