Interscholastic
Teams Will Take
Lead This Week


Michigan interscholastic basket
ball teams have played secondary
role to collegiate cagers for three
months, but this week they will
capture the headlines in opening
games OF the 18th annual state
tournament in which eight divl-
sional champions will be crowned.
Three-day district play will open
Thursday at 50 lower peninsula
centers-from Niles to Charlevoix
and Adrian to Port Austin-in the
Michigan High School Athletic AS
ISOLATION championships, the states
biggest interscholastic show.
To reach the lower peninsula fin-
ais at East Lansing, district win
ners will be required to thread
their way through regional compe-
tition next week at 16 centers. By
March 13 when the three day final
round opens, 500 entries will have
been reduced to 81 teams, 80 below
the Straits OF Mackinac competing
at Michigan State Colleges Jenison
Feldhouse and 80 from the Upper
Peninsula meeting at Ironwood.
Championships at stake have
been increased to eight by the
establishment of new Upper Pen
insula division, Glass +, for schools
with fewer than rs students. Low
err peninsula classiflcations, un.
changed this year, are: Class A. 500
students and over; Glass B, 325 to
799; Glass c, 125 to 1924; Glass d,
less than 1875.
The new class was added because
OF the large number OF small
schools in the Upper Peninsula,
where there are no schools in
Class A.
This weeks district play will be
confined to lower peninsula teams
in the three lower classifcations.
with Glass A schools joining region
al competition next week. The
Upper Peninsula district meets.
scheduled next week. will qualify
winners directly for the Ironwood
competition.

TENSION BROKEN

Ann Arbor, Mar 3--In addition
TO improving rapidly as a base
ball player this season Bill Cart
mill is credited with keen sense
of humor in tense moments by his
Michigan teammates. During the
recent Northwestern basketball
game Mike Sofiak scored a goal and
was fouled while shooting. The
officials failed to agree whether
Mike should be given one or two
free throws. No one knew quite
what to do, each team OF course
holding different opinions Of the in
depreciation OF the rules. Suddenly
from out of no where came the
lanky Cartmill with the perfect
solution. Said Bill. Come on Ref.
let's toss a coin" The tension
was broken and Sofiak went on to
sink single free throw.

Molly and her tribe are satisfied

they manifest a love for home that
is very touching. This habit has
home gardeners to be around, yet
out of sight, to catch Molly at her
pilferings, after her presence in a

For many years CottontailS have

Natures Children
COttOntail Rabbit
(Sylvilaeus flOridanus)

Molly Cottontail and her numer-
Gus offspring have given many a
farmer sleepless nights and head
aches, too. She has no regard for
property rights. With almost end
less ways to escape if corralled, she
goes with unerrlng bounds or hops

Authorities recognize 10 species
of cottontail, divided into "A races.
There are three well-marked groups
the common Eastern, the Rocky
Mountain cottontail and the desert
cottontail. There is a group in
Mexico with four races. Their mi
mute differences are interesting TO
scientists. All of this group show
the typical cottontail pattern. The
babies are born naked, blind, help

by their mother for week or more
before they can be on their own.

ing moods OF the different sections
are as delicate as passing clouds
touched here and there with bits of
color with no harshness in the sor-
rowful ending. The music is some
of the most exquisite from the
northern lyricists pen and although
the space of time needed for the
presentation of the cycle was con-
siderable, its charm was so gripping
as to hold the audience under a
spell.
The warm. moving quality OF Nine
FlagStad's voice could have no finer
vehicle for a full display of its
beauty than the numbers she sang
yesterday. There was at times,
however, veil over the purity of
her incompatible tones and often
an edge to them when the higher
register was reached These are
blemishes that come from the great
demand the public makes on an
artist Of her standing and her effort
to meet them But the marvellous
richness and sweetness is unim-
paired, the perfect vocal mechanism
is as astonishing as ever. The tones
float forth without effort with a
belllike ring to them that seems
to leave an echo when they are
finally released.
