into his chair.
Those sitting nearest Schlee carried
him from the room. The banquet,
whose guests besides Gov. Fred Green
and Mayor John w. Smith, numbered
many industrial leaders, was quickly
adjourned. Schlee responded to med
ical attention and shortly afterward
was able TO be removed to his home.
The banquet was the final feature
% a welcoming program which began
yesterday afternoon when the big
yellow plane which had carried the

But the recent action of the board

that the distribution problem is not

Question Quickly Arises.
Long before the first steam shovel

and alumni of Michigan We're discuss
ing how the tickets should be dis
tributed.
The students, feeling that they had
10000 preferred seats be allocated 10
them before any other group was
served.
The Alumni Association thereupon
howled like Il pack of timber wolves.
They had no intention of being herded

as students, they We're 10 have first

games with family or friends. they
were to have an equal chance with
the alumni and general public in ac-

served for alumni and one for under
graduates upon either side of the
field. So far as alumni We're con-
cerned, it was asked that members of
the local clubs have preference.
The plan finally presented to the
regents by the board of control sug-
gested that alumni clubs have first
choice and that the general public
and the alumni be cared for in order
of receipt of ticket orders.
The plan was diSapproved by the
regrents on the ground that any dis
elimination in favor Of the alumni
over the general public would be uu-
fortunate, it being remembered that

KING REACHES FINAL
IN DISTRICT TENNIS

A. Gwynn King, 6-foot net star who
developed his game on the Montrose
Park courts in Georgetown, entered
the title round of the District Of Co
lumhia championship tourney yester-
day for the first time in his career,
defeating Robert Elliott, Navy team
racketer and Tom Mangan's waterloo,
G-3, 6~-4.
King was at the top of his game.
and this, with his cool headwork,
earned the decision Elliott'S forehand
is powerful and when he leans into his
drive for a passing shot. it takes
a real player 20 check him. But his
hackhand is another story, often tip
ping the tape TO drop back, turning a
placement into an error. King kept
the ball on his opponents backhand
with a discouraging consistency, and
showed excellent judgment in advance
ing to the net where he centered his
offensive attack.
Bob, meanwhile. was trying to find
the Montrose players weakness. but
King apparently had none. He re-
turned everything. startling the gal
'ery repeatedly with passing line shots
on the left side.
Clarence Charest will meet King this
AFTERNOON in the title match expected
to produce some first-class tennis.
"A breath-taking doubles tilt yester-
day gave fresh proof of the theory
that match is not over until the last
point is played. King and Mitchell,
backed to the wall by Hal Fowler and
Maurice ONeil who had them match
point at 5--3 and 40-love. fought their
way to n lie score, and eventually
pulled out of the hole to win the de-
Gliding set at 7--5. 1t was a three-set
affair, the winners taking the first set,
6-3. and dropping the second. 2--6.
