INTERSECTIONAL
 SPORTS OPPOSED
 BY MICHIGAN MEN

ANN ARBOR, Mich, May 23.-(By Associated Press.) - Intersectional athletic contests find small favor with Fielding H. Yost, director Of athletics at Michigan. Replying to recent criticism of Michigans with drawal from the Eastern Collegiate A. A, and the Eastern Intercollegiate track and field meet in New York May % and 26, Yost gave two req sons why he opposes intersectional competition for the Maize and Blue. Michigans natural athletic oppo- nents, he declared, are in the West ern Conference, and he believes the Wolverines relations should be Em- ited largely to these opponents. He cited proximity and mutual regard as the basis for this opinion.
 Declaring that athletics are and always should be but contribuilry factor to the main purpose Of eel lege work, that of educating and fit ting youths for their life's work, Yost pointed out that Michigan's regular schedule will take members of the track squad away from classes as much as he considers safe and consistent.
 "The whole matter Yost declared, resolves itself as before, to the natural and most feasible selection of opponents We know each other in the Middle West and we can read dly reach each other. There is mu. tual regard among us. Perhaps in the East we would be strangers"

 There are three new clements which tend to make the coming event the most interesting in years. They are: More foreign entries since 1914; the initial trials of racing mo- tors of not more than 112 cubic inches piston dilelacement-only about twoJthirds as largo as the smallest motor in pleasure cars in the United StaItcs-and the introduc- tion of rotary valve engines in the racing game.
 The speedway track, which has been declared by many leading driv- CTS to be the "sportiest" course in the country, is oval in shape.

WEATHER EFFECTS ON CROPS
Studies Conducted by Department Of
Agriculture to Determine infu-
ence OF Yields.

Definite relations exist between
weather conditions and the yields Of
various important crops. Studies have
been conducted by the weather bureau,
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture, to determine the influence Of the
weather on the yield of potatoes, corn,
oats and cotton. The effort has been
to show the kind of weather that has
the greatest influence in varying yield
of a crop, as well as the most criti-
cal period Of growth. There Is pos
sibility, many believe, that the yield
of several important crops may be
predicted considerably before harvest
ing time from knowledge of ante
cedent weather conditions. The wealth
er must be taken into account up to
about the harvest date for oats, but
the probable yield for corn can be de-
termined by the end Of July and Of
cotton at the end Of June In the east
ern part of the belt.

II Is after the chicks are hatched
that they need constant watching for

CONCRETE FAILURES
DUE TO WATER LACK
Setting Of Cement Is Not Under
stood by Many People,
Many Failures Due to Extreme Evap.
Grating Powers Of Hot Sun and
Dry Air-Easentlai That Ma
terial Be Cured.

Some years ago considerable atten-
tion was attracted by toy which pro-
vided means by which boy could
make his own building blocks out of
portland cement mortar, but for some
reason many of these blocks were not
a success. The reason was finally dis
covered. "We put the blocks on the
radiator to dry and as soon as they
were dry they crumbled all up."
This serves to illustrate how far
most people fail to realize the def
mite distinction between the hardening
of lime mortar and the setting of port
land cement. The first Is accom-
plished by dehydration or drying out.
The second takes place through crys-
tallization, requiring the presence Of
water until the process IL complete.
The failure to understand this dis
tinction has been responsible for many
concrete failures. Sometimes the fault
IL not the result of ignorance of the
action of cement but of failure to ap-
preciate the extreme svaporating
powers of hot sun and dry air. Con-
crete work In desert areas has given
considerable trouble from this abuse.
The water evaporates before the con-
crete Is thoroughly cured, with the re-
suit that much Of 1t disintegrates
while other portions are Of extremely
low strength. 1t is Of no small inter-
est In this connection to note that 1t
has been found BY experiment that the
application of water to the concrete,
which is weak because of this cause,
may be measurably strengthened by a
subsequent period Of thorough satura-
tion, even though several years have
elapsed since the concrete was poured.
But this example is an extreme one.
The same faults have occurred to
minor degree In humid climates. Con-
crete must be protected against evapo-
