CARE FOR CROWD
Large Attendance is Expected
When Michigan and No.
ire Dame Meet.

Extra stands have been erected on
Cartier field in preparation for Sat
urday's track meet between Notre
Dame and the Michigan Aggies
Authorities expect that a large
crowd will witness the battle be-
tween the Hoosiers and the Farmers
and plenty of seating space has been
arranged.
Coach Rockne gave few Of his
track men light workouts vest erday
but the majority Of the athletes fin
ished hard work Wednesday and un-
derwent rubdowns yesterday. With
ore or two exceptions. the squad is
in excellent shape. and Rockne is
hoping for a victory over the Aggies
There is little room for compari-
son between the two teams. but il
is safe to say that the competition in
the majority of the events will be
exceedingly keen. NOtre Dame de-
feated the Aggies in the meet held
at Lansing last year and the gold
and blue is determined 70 repeat.
on the other hand, Michigan A. G..
has a number Of veterans left from
last years squad, together with a big
bunch Of new stars and the Lansing

FOR FOUR GAMES
Louie LOudermiIk Will Oppose

Punch" Knoll will lead his
Evansville tribe on the Springbrook
park grounds this afternoon for the
first of series Of four games. Boss
Knoll has made few changes this
year and viii present about the
same line mp that won the pennant
for him last year.
All games during the present
home stand are 10 start at 3:15 in
stead Of $3.50 o'clock as advertised.
The late start was not ideal since
the early games generally run long
and it was almost dark when the
contest was finished. Sunday games
are 10 start at , o'clock.
Louie Loudermilk is scheduled TO
20 against the Evas this afternoon.
Louie was troubled with a sore fin
ger these last few days. but the
member is all right now and ne is
expected 10 show strong. \ victory
today would give the locals a 500
standing and place them on a par
with the Evas.

ers down TO four men. these will
take their regular turns in the box.
Bowman will oppose the Evas Sat

season. He refused to walk a man
and was master of the situation all
the way The Stogies crowded the

count. Otherwise they failed 10 get
as far as second.
The local squad must be cut down
to - men on Monday. Smith still
has Grodick and an extra catcher.
Two men are sure 10 go and it looks
as if Withrow would be the catcher
TO be let out. Withrow was pur-
chased from Wheeling. The Stogie
club owns him and it has been noti-
fed that Withrow is TO be released
by the local club. II is up to Wheel

The other bullet entered the body just

That's all, DR.. Morgan said Gray,
and Arbuckle signiied to the court that
he did not desire to cross examine the
witness.
With the testimony OF DIR. Morgan
the Ease for the prosecution was closed,
and Mr.. Gray resigned the leading
place In the proceedings to his oppo'

PERsHING TO COMMAND ExPEDI,
TON TO "eET" BANDITS WHO
KILLED THE AMERICANS.
VILLA IS I'm CHIHUAHUA
UNITED STATES PERMISSION FOR
MExIcANs 20 CROSS Dor.
DER is QUALIFIED.

western Newspaper Union News Service.
Ell Paso, Tex, March 14.-Maj. Gen.
Funston last night declared the action
of Gen. Carranza in refusing to per-
NIT American troops to enter Mexico
unless Mexican troops were allowed
to enter the United States in search
OF bandits, would have no effect on
the dispatch of the expedition. That
news came from San Antonio last
night. simultaneously Gen. Perohing,
named field commander of the expe-
dition, went to Columbus, New Mex,
where sixteen Americans were killed,
many wounded and the town fired,
and assumed active control of twelve
thousand troops and fo~rty-eight bat
teries of artillery.
While the United States has grant
ed permission for Mexican troops to
cross the border, it is qualified, and it
is not known whether this will be &C
ceptable to Carranza. .
The United States. in its note to
Carranza, limited tho entrance of
Mexican troops into American states
to occasions when bandits from the
American side make raids into Mex
leo and return. This has not hap
pened since the Indian wars of many
years ago. While it is technically re
ciprocal" rights for Carranza it is not
at all certain that the permission Civ
EN- is what the de facto president
meant In his manifesto to the Next
can people.
Villa has taken q sudden twist to
the eastward, according to a report
received by Gen. Gavira at Juarez.
This move apparently takes him
away from the territory where it had
been supposed he would seek refuge,
north of which the American troops
concentration has been e ayiest. Mill
tary men. both American and Mexican,
nad believed villa was making for IA
great mountain chain of the Sierra
Madres.
Gen. Bertani, heading off Villa to
the west, had said he believed Villa
was trying to get into Sinaloa, which
has enjoyed comparative peace and is
filled with prosperous ranches. But,
apparently, finding his way blocked
at Casas Grandes, the bandit gave up
his announced intention of m~assacring
the Mormons, and took the easiest
way out.
Although he is heading eastward,
Villa has by no means an easy pros
pect OF escape from Carranza troops
about him or from the Americans on
the border. If he continues east in
an attempt to cut the line of the Mexi-
can Central. he will not only havc
cross desert plains void of water, food
and loot, but will be in danger of
clash with the cavalry of Gen. Cara
which is striking after him north
westward from Laguna.
