XLV No. 36 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, AUG. 11, 1936 PRICE 5 CENTS I-e Divers Paced At Berlin By Dick Degener Leading Two Teammates At Halfway Mark; To End Competition Today U.S. Swimmers Bow To Japanese, Dutch American Boxers Holding Up In Opening Round As Canadian Is Suspended BERLIN, Aug. 10.-(P)-Apparent- ly satisfied with dominating the pic- ture for afull week, the United States turned over the Olympic spotlight today to the Japanese, the Dutch and the Peruvians. Figuring prominently only in the springboard dive and the opening of boxing competition, the Americans otherwise were pretty well outclassed all along the Olympic sport front. Dick Degener of' Detroit, former University of Michigan star, Marshall Wayne of Miami and Al Greene of Chicago placed first, second and fourth in the diving competition with half the test completed but Ameri- ca's water poloists were eliminated by Belgium, 4-3, and her swimmers found the Japanese and the Dutch much too fast. Women Finish Far Behind Olive McKean of Seattle and Kath- erine Rawls of Miami, finished sixth and seventh, respectively in the wom- en's 100 meter free style final which was won by Rita Mastenbroek, Dutch ace, in 1:05.9, a new Olympic record. In the men's division, America's quartet of Charley Nutter, Ralph Gilman, Paul Wolf and Jack Medica qualified for the 800 meter relay fin- als by winning its heat in 9:10.4 but saw small hope of victory after a Jap- anese combination had set up a new Olympic standard of 8:56.1. Nor was there any cause for Ameri- can Joy in the 400 meter free style trials where John Macionis of Yale, Ralph Flanagan of Miami and Me- dica all qualified for the semi-finals but saw Shumpe Uto set up a new Olympic record of 4:45.5 and two other Japanese, Hiroshi Negami and Shozo Manikino qualify in fast time. Peru Withdraws Meanwhile Peru tossed a bombshell into Olympic circles by withdrawing its entire Olympic delegation after the International Football Federation had thrown out Peru's 4-2 victory over Austria in soccer competition last Saturday. The Federation ordered the game replayed as a result of an Austrian protest that spectators had attacked members of the Austrian team as well as the umpire during the later stages of the match. Peru declined to re- play the match and Austria was adjudged the winner by forfeit. Boxing competition was marked by opening round victories for Louis Laurie, Cleveland flyweight, and Chester Rutecki, Chicago welter- weight, and visitation of official wrath on Irving Pease, crack Canadian mid- dleweight. Pease was shipped home as the competition got under way for failure to make the class weight. Flames Sweep Isle Royale As Aid I Rushed Seven States, Sections Of Canada Are Devastated By Forest Fires HOUGHTON, Mich., Aug. 10.--(P) -Forest fires swept over additional thousands of acres on Isle Royale in Lake Superior today as reinforce- ments were rushed to the 1,200 CCC enrolles and woodsmen fighting the flames. C. E. Shevlin, of the National Park Service here, said his reports indi- cated 23,000 acres had been burned over, with a new fire licking its way toward Lake Ritchie, and workers re- treating before flames blown by a southwest wind. Heavy clouds of smoke hid the extent of this blaze, he said. The family of Holger Johnson, fisherman in the Chippewa harbor resort area, was reported planning to evacuate their home as the flames Hoyt Denounces Olympic Coach For Benching Stoller In Relay Report That Michigan Star Will Hang Up His Spikes Discounted By Coach By CLAYTON HEPLER Coach Charlie Hoyt, Michigan track mentor, last night sharply de- nounced the action of Olympic coaches which resulted in the with- drawal of Sam Stoller, Wolverine dash man, from the 400-meter relay held Saturday and Sunday in the Olymhpic Stadium in Berlin. "There wasn't a yard's difference in the whole group of sprinters sent over," he said, "and the claim that Germany had a 'dark horse' team was entirely unjustified. Any such pos- sibilities would have shown up in the individual events." Coach Hoyt, who has trained Stol- ler during his three years in school, discounted Associated Press dis- patches that the Michigan track star would hang up his spikes although he still has another year of intercolle- giate competition. "I think he was just so disappointed that he probably told reporters that he didn't care if he never ran an- other race," he said. "We don't treat our runners that way, and I think that Sammy will be running again for Michigan in the fall. He'll be among friends again here. Up until the morning of the first heats Stoller was slated to run as the third man in the relay. The an- nouncement that Foy Draper, a stu- dent at the University of Southern California, was to run in place of the Wolverine representative, came as a distinct surprise to his team- mates as well as to himself. Saturday was Stoller's twenty-firsti birthday. Marty Glickman, Syracuse fresh- man, charged that Dean Cromwell, who coached both Draper and Frank Wyckoff, was "looking after his boys," and that it was just another case of "politics." Seven sprinters are usually taken to the games, Coach Hoyt explained. From these, three are usually chosen to compete in the individual event and the other four are expected to run in the relay. That was the way it was worked in 1932 at Los Angeles in the last Olympics. In addition to Stoller, Glickman and Draper, sprint- ers taken on the trip included Jesse Owens, Ralph Metcalfe, and Matthew (Mack) Robinson. "A logical team, it seems to me after these results," Coach Hoyt stat- ed, "would be composed of Glickman, Stoller, Draper and Wyckoff. Stoller beat Metcalfe in three of four Olym- pic tryouts and trounced Wyckoff in another heat. "I would rather see the team get beaten," he said, "than deprive any of the boys of their chance to take part in the Olympics. And in this case," he added, "there was no chance of defeat." Robbery Intent Is Discounted In Co-Ed Death Sheriff Brown Questions Slayer's Motive; Brings Sex Angle Into Case By FRANK B. GILBRETH (Former Managing Editor of The Daily) ASHEVILLE, N. C., Aug. 10.-()- Sheriff Laurence E. Brown said to- night he was convinced Martin Moore, six-foot-three Negro hallboy, went to petite Helen Clevenger's room at the Battery Park Hotel to ravish her and killed her when she screamed at his entrance. Brown said a master key thehNegro admitted having the night the 18- year-old New York University co-ed was brutally slain disproved Moore's claim that he went to her room only for the purpose of robbery after finding two other rooms locked. The sheriff said he believed the gangling negro entered the girl's room after watching her for several nights from a back stairway passage which commander her window. The officer said he did not believe the key played any part in the crime, however, since all indications were Miss Clevenger had left her door unlocked. It was Brown who, with other offi- cers and detectives from Charlotte and New York, arrested Moore Satur- day night, and who announced yes- terday the Negro had confessed. His motive theory today disagreed with that of Solicitor Zeb V. Nettles, who said he accepted the Negro's story that he entered the room solely Leads U. S.

Urfe Teachers To Vote Down 3 Amendmentst Education Society Informs1 Members To Favor Single ProposedChange Nov. 3 LANSING, Aug. 10.-()-The Michigan Education Association urged its 30,000 members today to vote against three of the four pro- posed constitutional amendments to be submitted to voters Nov. 3. Dr. A. J. Phillips, executive secre- tary, disclosed the association's board of directors agreed to oppose the pro- posed exemption of foods from the salesdtax, the elimination of taxes on real and personal property except for debt service charges, and the amendment which would permit counties to reorganize their govern- ments. "It is estimated that the proposed elimination of the sale tax on food would take away about $12,000,000 annually from the general fund of the state," Phillips said. "Experience of the past has shown that welfare, old age pensions, and schools would be the first to suffer." Explaining why the association is opposed to the proposed amendment to permit county reorganization, Phillips declared it "is inconsistent and contradictory in its wording and probably would cause confusion rath- Spain May Be Blockaded By Other Powers England's Third Protest Gives Impetus To Drive To Enforce Treaty Both Sides Report Successful Battles U. S. Women And Children Still Preparing To Flee Madrid By Train A blockade of Spain by neittral powers was reported imminent last night (Monday) to insulate the rest of Europe against any spark from the Spanish revolution. Great Britain's third protest to the belligerents in the 24-day old civil war gave impetus to the drive to make the nine-power neutrality pact effective. The new British protest was against the shelling of an English yacht and the death of its owner, Capt. Rupert Savile, during a rebel bombardment of Cadiz, on the Bay of Biscay. Both sides reported successes, the government claiming capture of 13 rebel towns.That 10 of them were in Teruel province, along the Med- iterranean coast east of Madrid, in- spired government predictions the revolt would be crushed shortly. A rebel radio, however, broadcast capture of the town and province of Santander in the. Bay of Biscay re- gion, and indicated nearncollapse of he northern loyalists. On that front reinforced rebel troops massed for an attack on the ports of Irun and San Sebastian. Americans Depart For U. S. Warship MADRID, Aug. 10.-G')-American women and children prepared to- night to flee Madrid as loyalist forces of the Republic claimed capture of 13 rebel towns in the newest offensive of the 24-day civil war. Between 30 and 40 Americans were to leave by train for Valencia to board the United States warship Quincy for escape to France. Only about 100 Americans, with business interests here, remained. Several hundred French and British citizens were to depart soon in fear of the growing violence of the war. (A number of Americans were evacuated during the first two weeks of the struggle) (Reinforced rebel troops massed for attack in the north of San Sebastian and Irun. .San Sebastian was short of food, with citizens lining up to receive rations of bread and water. Milk was distributed for children only. The Guadarrama mountain chain, where yesterday loyalist troops killed 800 rebels in a nine-hour battle, was quiet. But in the south insurgent forces were reported on the march toward Madrid. (Burgos rebel headquarters an- nounced the southern troops of Gen. Francisco Franco had reached the outskirts of Badajoz, near the Portu- gal border, and intended to attack that city before resuming the north- ward march). Fascists claimed a victory at Hesca in Northeastern Spain, but Barcelona loyalists pressed their march toward the rebel headquarters at Zaragoza. Non-Partisan Labor Supports Roosevelt WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-(I)- Amidst reminders of the dispute over wage and hour legislation, labor's non-partisan league pledged itself late today to national organization for reelection of President Roosevelt, as a base for "establishment of a liberal party" in 1940. Following the reference to 1940 by George L. Berry, president of the league and an official in the admin- istration, the convention by resolu- tion endorsed the organization "as an instrumentality for the furtherance of liberalism in our country." By way of leading up to their ac- tion, a message from Mr. Roosevelt had been read, coupling mention of, Supreme Court decisions with a state- ment, that "a return to reactionary practices is ever short lived." - i Student Theatre Achieves Ideal In Gilbert Sullivan Production By ELSIE ROXBOROUGH "The ideal student theatre is one in which music, the dance, and the drama are combined," Valentine B. Windt, director of the Gilbert and Sullivan . operetta, "The Pirates of Penzance," which opens at the Lydia Mendelssohn theatre tomorrow eve- ning, said last night. "We have succeeded in getting al combination of the three depart- ments," Mr. Windt continued, "the department of Physical Education, the school of music and Play Produc- tion.

It is one Gilbert and Sullivan operetta to which Amer- ica can partially lay a proprietary claim. While Gilbert had finished most of the libretto before he sailed for New York, Sullivan had only com- posed the music for the second act and had to write and score the entire opera after his arrival. William Schwenk Sullivan was born in London at No. 17 Southampton St., on Nov. 8, 1836. His father, having made enough money to make him in- dependent had retired from a very prosaic navy career to become a pro- lific writer of even more prosaic and unpopular plays, novels, biographies, monographs and pamphlets.
