ar Changes
Frosh Ruling

The freshman ruling. a memento
Of things as they were in the days
before Pearl Harbor, was tossed out
the window Tuesday by the Mich
igan Normal athletic board of con-
troll.
The ruling has been abolished for
the duration of the war. +. K. Is

nOunced.
Incoming freshmen will become
Immediately eligible for participa-
ton in intercollegiate competition.
Previously two semesters' attend
ance at the institution had been
the requirement in order to qualify
a student for varsity athletics.
No arrangements have been made
for the time when the freshman
ruling will be re-adopted, lsbell
said. Presumably, all men who have
entered school prior to such action
will be permitted to complete four
years of competition.
No change has been made in the
regulation requiring transfer stu
dents to put in two semesters be-
fore becoming eligible for varsity
| sports.
Because OF the decline in enroll
ment since the United States en-
tered the war. 1t became almost a
necessity to allow freshmen to com
pete in order TO obtain stable ath-
letic squads All but three OF the
/ Michigan colleges have already
made the change.
Michigan Normal was the last OF
the teachers institutions to swing
into line, primarily because of the
opposition OF certain administrative
officials. The University Of Mich
igan. Michigan State and Michigan
Tech still retain the ruling.

New Product
Reflects War

Wartime changes are reflected
in a new product of o. E. Thomp-
son and Sons who have added
fire guard" to their list
II is a compact, mobile kit for
controlling and extinguishing in
cendiary bombs and fighting local
fires. c. ]. Helm, president, ex-
plains. The unit is especially do
signed for industry and home use.
The Fire Guard" weighs 175
pounds when loaded with neces-
sary equipment 1t has two wheels
with roller bearings which sup
port so per cent OF the weight. One
man can operate the unit.
The new product is less than rs
inches in width and Is easily man
euverable into places where larger
mobile units are impractical. Mr..
Helm says.
The equipment listed for the
unit includes a portable extin-
gushing pump, fire axe, thirty six
inch pinch bar, long handled square
nose shovel, small bags of sand, IL
quart galvanized pail small short
handled sledge. 100 feet Of sash
cord. flashlight. insulated handle
eight inch screw driver, face
shield, eight inch insulated cut
ting plier, IA inch wrench and
pair of asbestos gauntlets.
Another line OF products OF
equal interest during war times
is tire growing equipment Thomp-
son and Sons have made these ma
terials for four years but recently
because of the tire rationing have
had increased orders. Various
types OF electric tire growers are
manufactured In addition to self
locking tire holders.
Federal government orders pre-
vent further manufacture after
June 80 of1metal play wagons and
Thompson and Sons are comply
ing with this order. They now
manufacture coaster and standard
stake wagons. There has not been
a changeover from-metal to wood
en- materials in this line although
the wagons constructed have been
smaller the past few months.
In garden tools there has been
concentrated effort toward re-
designing. One lawn utility cart
for leaves, grass clippings and
dirt, which previously had been
made of metal and wood now is
made entirely of wood. The wood
en- cart loads in a standing or tilt
ed position just as the original
barrow.

The 21st national collegiate games
shaped up today as mostly an In

cast with southern California ex-
pected to run into little opposition
for its eighth straight N.C.A.A.

From the hero-worship excite
ment around here one wouldn't
think that 200 athletes and 40
schools are entered in the meet to
be held Friday and Saturday nights

total of 26 assignments.
Here and there one could hear
suggestions that Ohio State, hav-
ing captured the Big Ten outdoor
title last month with the second
largest score in conference history,
might supply a real threat to the
Californians.
The Buckeyes have an II man
squad entered to carry some Is or

sinking.

Mine were definitely sunk, possi-

cruisers, three light cruisers, two de-
stroyers and two large transports
In addition. we sank numerous small
boats and lighters by straflng. We
believe we also sank a Seaplane
tender and a third transport. The
whole harbor was strewn with smok-
ing wreckage.
And I am happy to say We lost
absolutely nothing. A couple of our
boys brought back a few holes in
their planes. but none OF the per-
sonnel was even scratched.
This was the first touchdown in
the game at Coral Sea, which lasted
a week
Asked about the main action at

Description of Attack.
1t. Comdrs Joseph Taylor, Dan
vile. Ill. and William Burch, Pa
ducah, KY, vividly described the
blistering attack on the enemy base
1000 miles northeast of Australia
on little Florida Island in the
center of the Solomon group.
Comdr. Burch said;
Aboard the carrier we had not
heard anything about the little
harbor of Tulagi until late one
night when word was passed over
the loudspeaker:: Prepare all squad
rons for attack on ships in the
harbor at Tulagi at dawn 1t was
a complete surprise. Our task force
had been hunting the enemy in the
Coral Sea.
Long before dawn We were ready
and anxious for the take-off.
I'VE got over Tulagi in early
morning, every plane in position
and carrying a full load Of tor
pedoes and bombs. We didn't
know what to expect, but there
below we could see through riffs
of clouds the harbor filled with
troops and Transports
Queensbury Rules Out.
Comdr Taylor told of the launch
ing Of the actual attack
Well. l sorta figured the Marquis
of Queensbury rules were out" he
said. 80 I said to Bill. You hit 'em
high and III hit EN- low From
then on every man for himself
'As soon as I saw what ships
were in the harbor I instructed
the pilots which ones to hit. In a
melee there is no time for detailed
assignments-we just went to work
with torpedoes and bombs.
The only thing I clearly remem-
ber as the dive-bombers pushed
over into screaming dives was that
each pilot was yelling something
into his radiophone. some cussing
but most yelling Remember Pearl
Harbor'
I'VE did not catch the japanese
exactly f1at-footed, but they got
up no anti-aircraft fire until the
attack had started. BY that time
