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. ve) See WOLVERINES', Page 3 ronors BOB ERBEN (abo BILL BARTLETT (above) ---- - I DICK KEMPTHORN (above) TOM PETERSON (below:) Ltrtgan Latest Deadline in the State ati VOL. LX, No. 48 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, NUV. 19, 1949 i 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. ** * * EVIDENCE showed that the ballot box was stuffed at the Engi- neering Arch. 4 In addition, election officials LLOYD HENEVELD (below); World News Round- Up BOB VANSUMMERN (below) By The Associated Press WASHINGTON - Navy Capt.

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.

"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.

The big ships have figured in six crashes in the past 15 days- disasters which have taken 35 lives and left 20 missing. * * * 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.

UNi11Strikes 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- tions, yesterday's demand by Chi- nese Reds that UN unseat the Chi- nese Nationalist delegation. The Nationalists are in exile and their remnant forces in China will soon be eliminated, the Chinese Reds declared. Robert Q.
