By PRES HOLMES
(Sports Co-Editor)
One of the wackiest seasons inConference history ends this after-
' noon, and what a finish it is!
The schedule makers couldn't have done a better job if they had
set up the games just this week. After eight hectic Saturdays of un-
predictable football Michigan and Ohio State are barreling neck and
neck down the home stretch and battle it out at 2:00 this afternoon for
" ;s' the Big Nine Championship.
FOR THIRTEEN Wolverines it will be their last game of college
football. Most of them have been around the past two years helping
Michigan take two straight Conference titles, and want more than
anything to help make it three in a row.
The outcome of this afternoon's contest, barring a tie of
course, will decide the winner of the blue ribbon for 1949.

Campaigners Take
Pre-Election Rest
By PETER HOTTON
Candidates took a breather today in the two-week session of open
houses, personal campaign drives and Student Legislature meetings to
be climaxed by elections Monday and Tuesday.
Altogether, an even 100 candidates are fighting it out for slightly
more than 40 positions open on Student Legislature, J-Hop Committee
and the Boards in Control of Publications and Athletics.
ALPHA PHI OMEGA, campus service fraternity, will be out in full
strength to see that no dirty work is done at the ballot boxes.
Last year, four candidates were put on probation for "obvious
fraud in their election," as found after a week of investigation by
Men's Judiciary.
The fraud charges were brought against a Union vice-president,
an SL candidate and candidates for senior and sophomore engineer-
ing class presidents.

PRAGUE, Czechoslavakia -
Czechoslavakia sent 55 persons
to prison yesterday on charges
of spying and indicated more ar-
rests, trials and sentences would
follow in this country's burgeon-
ing purge.
All 55 persons-sentenced to
terms ranging from one year
to life-were accused of trying
to overthrow the Communist
Regime and spying for an un-
named power, presumably the
United States.

been spying, Tass, the official
Soviet news agency, reported yes-
terday.
The Tass Dispatch, distributed
here by the Soviet Monitor, said

found 40 fraudulent ballots dur-
ing the counting after the elec-
tion.
"We are taking every precaution
to prevent any repeat of last;year's
occurrence," election chairman
Bill Clark said.
STUDENTS must present their
ID cards when they vote. If voters
for J-Hop Committee do not have
ID cards, they must prove their
class standing by their transcripts,
which may be obtained in the of-
fices of Deans Bromage for wom-
en and Walter for men.
Campaign issues have been
harried and' complex, one can-
didate said. "If we don't get the
biggest vote out this year it
won't be the fault of the candi-
dates' platforms. All the stu-
dents are talking about them."
Election booths will be manned
by several hundred volunteers.
Clark said that several candidates
volunteered, but SL decided that
it wouldn't be quite ethical.

BOOTHS WILL be placed at
Angell Hall, Union and League,
Law Club, BusAd School, Engi-
neering Arch, General Library,
Waerman Gymn. A booth will be
set up in the Couzens Hall lobby
on Monday and transferred to
Women's Athletic Building Tues-
day.
In case of bad weather, the
booths will be moved indoors,
Clark said.

All B-29's which have not un-

or have encountered heavy going
which may have strained them
were ordered grounded yesterday
by the Air Force.
The big ships have figured in
six crashes in the past 15 days-
disasters which have taken 35

THE ORDER, issued by Air
Force Chief of Staff Hoyt Vanden-
berg, did not specify the number
of planes involved, nor did it
mention the recent accidents.-
The latest occurred yesterday
at Tampa, Fla., where a B- 9
plunged into the mud of Tampa
Bay, killing five of a nine man
crew.
The ship had taken off to search
for another B-29 missing in the
Atlantic northeast of Bermuda.
Gen. Vandenberg in his order,
called for all speed possible in
the modernization of the grounded
planes and the overhauling of
those which have undergone
"maximum stress."
In the Bermuda area, mean-
while, searchers were spurred by
faint radio signals and the sight-
ing of two red flares in the 100
by 345 mile search area.

Two Blows
At Russians,
By The Associated Press
The United Nations dealt a
double slap to Soviet Russia yes-
terday, when the Assembly voted
to impose an arms embargo on
Greece's Cominform neighbors
and Secretary-General Trygve
Lie ruled against circulating a
Chinese Communist demand that
UN unseat the Chinese Nationalist
delegation.
The arms embargo is in the form
of a recommendation that all
countries refrain from direct or
indirect provision of any arms or
other materials to Albania and
Bulgaria, until those Soviet-domi-
nated countries stop helping
Greek guerrillas fight the Athens
government.
THE ASSEMBLY has no power
--other than moral force-to car-
ry out the arms embargo.
The vote on the embargo was
50 to six, with two countries
abstaining. Yugoslavia joined
its former partners in the
Moscow bloc in opposing the
resolution, though the arms em-
bargo did not apply to Yugo-
slavia.
The United States supported the
proposal, while Israel and India
abstained.

LIE RULED against circulat-
ing, among UN's 59 member na-

The Nationalists are in exile
and their remnant forces in
China will soon be eliminated,
the Chinese Reds declared.
