Michigan to Enter Two-Mile
Relay At the Pennsy Games
Farrell AbandOns 4.
Mile Idea, So He
Says

ANN ARBOR. Mich. April 25.-
Discouraged by the inability Of the
Wolverine relay team 10 come
through in the four-mile event as
he hoped they would, Coach Farrell
has decided 10 change them back
10 the distance where they tied a
worlds record. and will send the
quartet after the outdoor tWo-mile
record in the Penn meet Saturday
The trials for this team will be
held Wednesday.
Farrell still held to some small
fragment OF hope even after the
Drake race, and though admitting
TO the members or the team that
four-miIe combination seemed
fruitless, he sch; them through the
long distance again Monday. After
The workout he definitely decided
upon the shorter event.
There Is possibility OF one change
in the makeup OF the team. Fox
may beat out Murphy. Wednesday.
The veteran miller has been threat.
euing TO do this all along. and Cap
is worrying over his job The rest
Of the team-Ufer, Carroll. and
Donnelly-seem cure OF their places.
Murphy has made the poorest time
In every race so far.
At the same time. there will be
held tryouts in every event. and
the showing OF the participants In
these will determine the size Of the
team to make the trip. Smith and
O'Drien look good for the spirits.
while Cross Is almost certain for
the shotput. "Vic" Simmons has
been suffering with a bad leg. but
hopes TO come around all right TO
make the grade az high jumper.
Whether or not Farrell will try
to change his relay team again, IL
matter OF conjecture, but the
coach would like to repeat Michi.

equally possible to Detroit to drop

question of who wins and who loses.
The Jungaleers, however, are let

Summary OF THE War News

/ Field Marshal Won Mackenzie's ad- vance through the Rumanian province of DoIbru dja, where his combined Ger man, Bulgarian and Turkish forces have been striking for the railroad from Constanza to interior Rumania, has been checked for the time, at least, according to accounts from both sides of the Struma.
 Bucharest yesterday announced a check for Won Mackenzen's armies on the line of defense taken up by the Rumanians and Russians who have been heavily reinforced. Today a statement by the Sofia war office under yesterdays date comedies the stub- bornness of their resistance and re- ports the entente armies still holding their strongly fortified positions.
 Reports regarding the fighting in F1orina district in northwestern Ma cedonia are conflicting. Accounts from entente sources have asserted the Bulgarians were falling back on Serbian territory. Sofia, however an nounces turn in the fighting favor able to the Bulgarian force. Further east in the mountainous country along the Serbian border, the engagement is O heavy one all along the line. On the far western end of the line the allies are making progress.
 The defeat of the Germans in their desperate counter-attacks along the Somme front reported last night by Paris has been followed by compara- tive quiet in this region, judging from today's official report which says the Germans did not renew their attacks during the night
 After, "a lapse of some days activity has been resumed by the French in the Verdun region.
