'M' Cagers Win; Pucksters Tied Basketball.. . By SY SONKIN Michigan's cagers broke loose in the second half last night to win a 51-40 victory over a previously unbeaten University of Toledo quintet. For the first half it was a close game, with the Rockets a con- stant threat to overhaul the Wol- verines. * * * IT WAS A FAST first half, too, with a total of eleven personal fouls being called, nine against the Maize and Blue and two against the visitors. But the second period saw a, rougher brand of ball, and the beginning of a steady parade from one foul line to the other. There were almost three times as many misdemeanors in the final stanza, 32 to be exact with the quintets splitting them evenly. FORWARD BOYD McCaslin sparked the Wolverine attack with 15 points, while Ed LeRoy led the losers, netting six field goals and one foul shot for 13 points. With center Bill Roberts in- jured, 4rv Wisniewski started the game for the Maize and Blue at the pivot position. Using a man-to-man defense, Michigan stopped the high-scor- ing Toledo outfit cold. The Rock- ets hadn't been held to less than 65 points until meeting the Wol- verines. CHARLIE HARMON and Dal Zuber, the highly-touted forwards on the Ohio quintet, were held to a combined total of 13 points by Pete Elliott and Bob Harrison, but it was Iarmon who connected with themost spectacular shot of the evening. Midway in the second half, the Toledo forward found himself with the ball behind the basket and his way out blocked by Wol- verines. He took one long stride to get under the netting and lost his bal- ance, but, on his way down, Har- mon let go of the ball and watched it sail cleanly through the hoop. During the first half, no one in Yost Field House could be sure which way the game was going. MICHIGAN JUMPED right off to a 2-0 lead on McCaslin's initial tally, but saw Toledo tie it up on Zuber's two-pointer.

The final score was 2-2. * * * AFTER THE Wolverines jumped off to a first period lead on a goal by Wally Gacek, the Windsor Spitfires and the home club bat- tled on even terms, each scoring one goal in the middle stanza, until late in the final period. Then came the break of the game that knotted the count. Gerald Lawerence, Spitfire for- ward, shot past Jack McDonald from a steep angle as the Michi- gan goalie, who undobutedly played one of the finest games of his career, was coming out of the net to cover. Lawrence's shot hit the padding of a team-mate who was standing in the crease and. went into the nets for the tying goal. * * * BUT THE OFFICIALS failed to1 see the man in the crease and al- lowed the goal. It was tallied at 15:55. McDonald and several of the Michigan players protested the coach Jim Skinner admitted score but to no avail. Spitfire after the game that the shot shouldn't have been allowed. The game started off fast and rough with both teams getting in shots cn goal, only to have them saved by the respective goalies. The first break came at 9:08 of the initial period. DEFENSEMAN Bob Fleming took the puck over the blue line, fired it to Gordie MMillan off to the left, and the first line center fired a hard one to the right of the crease which Wally Gacek basted by Dan Kewley, Windsor net-tender. The remainder of the period saw fast skating and vicious checking, with Fleming drawing the only penalty for hooking. Earlier in the stanza Al Ren- frew, Michigan captain, was tagged with a two minute el- bowing penalty, and Jim Hay, Windsor, served time for hook- ing. There were a pair of penalties in the second period, and two in the final stanza. MICHIGAN WENT INTO a two gcal lead at 13:07 of the second frame on a beautifully executed play by McMillan and Renfrew. McMillan carried the puck over the blue line to within 15 feet of the Spitfire nets, dropped the puck to Renfrew and went in on goal. Renfrew shot the disk behind Mc- Millan, beating Kewley with a near corner shot. Windsor drew within a goal of the Wolverines late in the pe- riod on a rebound shot past Mc- Donald.

The government said they came from Nicaragua, and were headed by former Presi- dent Rafael A. Calderon Guardia. In Managua, Nicaragua, Gen. Anastasio Somoza, minister of war and head of the national guard, denied that the invasion had been launched from Nicaragua. He said he had unconfirmed information that Calderon Guardia's forces landed at Puerto Soley, about 13 miles from the Nicaraguan border, and entered nearby De La Cruz. ,' , * ONLY NINE DAYS ago the Costa Rican Junta (military gov- ernment) headed by Jose Figueres disbanded the nation's army of 5,000, declaring it wanted school teachers more than soldiers. The Junta overthrew the government of President Teodoro Picado last May 8 after a short revolution. Dispatches from Guatemala reported the followers of Cal- deron Guardia had reached the outskirts of Liberia, capital of the province of Guanacaste and about 60 miles south of the Nic- araguan border. Liberia is about 180 miles northwest of San Jose, Costa Rican Capital. The Costa Rican government suspended constitutional guaran- ties. Thousands of citizens were reported volunteering to fight the invaders.* A TRAVELER from Costa Rica who reached Panama said reports up to noon Saturday indicated the invaders made up a well-armed force of about 800 men, all Costa Ricans. He added that demobili- zation of the Costa Rican army had not yet been carried out. Broadcasts from Costa Rica heard in Guatemala quoted Fig- ueres as having sai: "This is not a counter-revolution. This is war between Costa Rica and Nicara- gua." In Washington, Costa Rican Ambassador Mario squivel told re- porters he would ask the U. S. State Department and the organi- zation of American States (OAS) for help under the new Rio De Janeiro mutual defense treaty.

Spy Papers Tell British Sea Plans Grand Jury To View Microfilm Discovered in Chambers' Pumpkin WASHINGTON-()-Secret U.S. Government papers obtained ten years ago by an admitted Communist agent contained interna- tional dynamite, it has been disclosed. Twelve of some hundreds of papers uncovered by the House Committee on Un-American Activities in its investigation of a Com- munist spy network were made public by the Committee with State Department approval. The papers were from confidential State De- partment files. ONE OF THE DOZEN was among the secret information which had been recorded on microfilm. a Daily-Bill Ohllnger. SHOT PUT STAR-Charlie Fonville, University shot put star who set a new world's record last spring, is now recovering from an operation in his Detroit home. Fonville may return to school next semester, but his recent operation will keep him from participating in athletics for at least another year. Coach Don Canham reports that Fonville may be able to compete in 1950. * * ** * ** * * MAY RETURN IN 1950: Fonville Recoveri ng from Operation By BILL CONNOLLY Charlie Fonville may be back throwing the shot for Michigan, but if he does it won't be before the spring season of 1950. Fonville, who entered the Uni- versity Hospital last October, was released last week and is now resting in his Detroit home. He has one year of eligibility remain- ing, and Coach Don Canham re- ported that he may be able to compete in 1950. AS WAS INDICATED before the operation, Charlie will be in- active for at least another year, possibly longer. Right now he has a cast on his back which will be there for at least three months. Canham reported that after the operation, Fonville felt the first relief since his back started World News Round-Up NANKING (-P) -This Chinese capital's Hwai River defenses were reported pierced by two Commu- nist columns-possibly 30,000 men -bent on cutting the vital supply route 71 miles by rail northwest of Nanking. * * * PARIS-()-The United Na- tions Assembly has approved a three-member Palestine Con- ciliation Commission which will try to bring peace to the Holy Land. The vote was 35 to 15 with eight abstentions. THE HAGUE-(P)-A decision to break off deadlocked Dutch-In- donesian peace talks has been an- nounced by the Netherlands gov- ernment.

It was then, April 17th to be exact, that Charlie set his world re- cord of 58 feet one-fourth inch, at the Kansas Relays. This distance was officially re- cognized by the National AAU last week, and now stands as the farthest distance the 16 pound sphere has ever been thrown. SHORTLY AFTER the Kansas meet, the pain became more pro- nounced and it was a downhill fight for the Wolverine shot ace from then on. After undergoing a three week observation period in the University Hospital, Fonville was operated on by Dr. Carl Badgley last October 29th. The operation forced Charlie to leave school for a semester, but he may return in February. If he does, however, he will carry a light schedule, as he was told by his doctors to keep off his feet as. much as possible during his year's convalescence. The surgery, which fused a de- tached vertabra in the spinal col- umn, was termed successful by Coach Canham. Any operation of this type, however, calls for com- plete inactivity for a considerable time afterwards. This film was found last week in a hollowed-out pumpkin on the farm of Whittaker Cham- bers, a self-admitted former Communist. Chambers has accused Alger Hiss, former State Department of- ficial, and others of passing some of the secret documents to him. This has been denied by Hiss. * * * A NEW YORK Federal grand jury, which also has been looking into the extent of the Communist espionage, is going to have a look at the microfilms. Transfer of the films from the safes of the Committe of Un-American Activties to those of the gratnd jury was author- ized today. The 12 documents made public by' the Committee would have been "extremely valuable" to any foreign governments which got them back in 1938, diplomatic authorities said today. The documents show that Hitler might have known some of Britain's secret naval plans 18 months before he actually plunged the continent into war by invading Poland. ""n~'a'd.*g * 't(*"" ANOTHER told of Japan's in- creasing belligerence; of the one- time belief by a British official that support of Chiang Kai-Shek would be detrimental to British interests in the Orient. These were all things that if brought into the limelight at the time might have had marked repercussions on the interna- tional picture at a time when the United States was far from ready for war. The 12 papers made public by the Un-American Activities Com- mittee ranged over a wide se- quence of events. AMONG THE documents are typewritten copies of 21 diplo- matic messages signed by such pre-war figures in American di- plomacy as former Ambassador to France William C. Bullitt, former Ambassador to Japan Joseph C. Grew, and former Ambassador to Poland Anthony J. Drexel Biddle, Jr. Several of the documents are marked "strictly confidential," but the House committee said the State Department indicated that with the long passage of time their publication would no longer be considered "danger- ous" to American security. But their potential value to other governments at the time they purportedly "leaked" from the State Department is evident from a cursory examination. Yet one of the documents, a memorandum which Committee records say is in the handwrit- ing of Alger Hiss, former State Department' official, spoke of Britain's battleship building plans in that critical year 18 See SECRET, Page 8 Extra Trains Will Handle Yule Crowd' Various transportation media have reported special accommo- dations to handle the annual Yuletide exodus.
