RESPECTS VISITORS

Coach CriSler has healthy re-
spect for these visitors from
Bloomington. He is inclined TO
agree with Scout Bill Barclay that
the HOLSTERS pack enough often
sive power to score a couple of
touchdoWns.
Crisler and his aides spent most
Of yesterdays drill polishing up
their scoring plays. A new back
field will face the HoosieTs and
they needed lots of work on tim
ing.
Crisler is planning 10 use more
backs than in any game this fall.
Elroy HirSch at left half and Bob
Wiese at fullback will be in most
of the game.
But Walter Dryer will be re-
lieved by Bob Nussbaumer and
Jack Ponsetto and Jim Aliber will
spell off Jack Wink, usually when
Michigan is on defense.

Considerable Output by

oS tnS Associated Press
PITTSBURGH, Feb. s-Rubber
Administrator William M. Jeffers
said today that while the Govern
ment's synthetic rubber plant build
ing program has been behind sched-
ule due to delay in getting certain
materials. TITS moving along very
nicely now"
We're trying to build a ire
mendous industry in year that in
normal times would take a decade"
he said at a press conference. Mr.
LETTERS came here to address the
Engineers Society Of Western
Pennsylvania and to visit a large
synthetic rubber plant.
The administrator said privately
owned plants have produced con-
siderable synthetic rubber and the
plants the Government is building
will reach stride by 1914.
Asked If the privately owned
plants feared Government compe-
tition after the war, he said:
They've all got one concern
let's win the war. Big business and
little business are all doing a whale
Of job"
Mr.. LETTERS said enough reclaimed
rubber is being turned out to bridge
motorists "over the gap" but that
they should continue to use their
cars only when necessary and drive
at reduced speeds for the rest Of
the war.
Il think the 35-mile an hour rule
ought to stay in for the duration, j."
he said. 1T is certainly helping the
country to stay on automobiles"

The AFL announced its opposition

equal rights with men.
A statement by William Green,

would place in jeopardy all laws

The American Federation of

books various laws discriminating
against women as TO property,
guardianship, naturalization and
other rights guaranteed to men," Mr..
Green added. I'VE advocate spe-
cifc measures to wipe out such dis
examinations.
But a constitutional amendment
must, OF necessity, be drawn in gen.

Therefore. il it is adopted, the valid

Techniques Of Polling Clever BOBBY Traps

kind of terrain where they are most
likely to be found, or where they can
be set with most hopes of success.
They are getting so they can almost
smell anything that looks suspic-
ious." But their primary job is to
remove the bait without setting of
the charge and then trace the wires
to where they connect with the ex-
plosive.
Two Main Types.
It is known. Col O'Neill and his
associates explain, that the BOBBY
traps are of two main types. the
pull and the tension release"
styles Of mechanism. They must be
able to recognize which quickly, for
on this depends the method of re-
moving the trap.
A number Of techniques have been
developed, both by the American and
British experts. The simplest and
most obvious consists in probing all
about the object with a quite fine
wire, raising it a bit at a time and
very gently until the wire leading
from it Is contacted. Then the
method OF setting the trap of can be
determined and the wire traced to
the hidden explosive.
A field OF action in this war, ex-
plain Col. O'Neill and his associates,
Is no place for curio hunters such as
the fellows who used to pick up iron
crosses and the like from dead Ger
mans IS years ago. Then 1t was
relatively safe. Now it would mean
humiliation.
New German Development.
The Washington and Maryland
boys taking their advanced training
In combat engineering here also are
studying the latest traps develop
ment, introduced by Germans on q
considerable scale in the North
African campaign, This is the anti
personnel mine, developed from the
anti-tank mine. It is an explosive
charge buried in road, or along
any route which marching troops are
likely to follow. The trigger is hidden
underfoot, so that the charge is ex-
ploded by the first two or three
soldiers who step over it. One of
the German mines. 1t is known, is set
of by a weight Of IS pounds. It's
primary objective Is to slow down
fast-marching troops.
Detection calls for highly developed
technique. Once found by sappers,
such mine can be exploded without
doing any damage. But highly
trained, observant eyes are essential.
Engineer detectors, also trained as
infantrymen. presumably will accom-
pany all marching troops in hostile
territory in the future.

Hard to Tell Eagle.
About . mile up the river the
sharp-eyed medical student said
with q note Of eagerness in his
voice: Il think that's an eagle over
on the far side on the ice"
Well, at distance it's hard to
tell. Seen from afar an eagle on
floating ice looks like a dark chunk
Of driStwood, an abandoned key OF
q lost coal scuttle. This Is especially
true Of the adult bald eagle, the
white Of whose head and tail feath-
ers blends with the Ice and snow
The rule Is to take . look over the
floating Ice and where dark humps
are seen, take another look.
Then look quickly at this coal
scuttle," said the medical student,
gleefully, because 1t has just taken
wing and Is flying this way"
Sure enough, 1t was . mature
bald eagle, and. added to the finding
Of the fox track in the snow, It
set the ofncial seal Of success on

soldiers who are here perfecting
themselves in various new and deli

Their education and training call for
from II to is hours day Of hard
work.
Learn About BOBBY Traps. :
Generally these techniques were
known before they left the United
States, but have taken on new i'm
portance this side of the Atlantic,
especially with recent tactics
adopted by the enemy in North
Africa. Ofncers and enlisted men,
for example, are learning all about
"booby traps These are Just What
the name signifies-fatal traps for
the unwary, elegantly described in
the literature as "make-shift ar
ra1genents ps cause casualties
which tend Is aover mofa& .".-t.
In this war curiosity killed the
soldier" The BOBBY trap, insofar
as any details about it can be re-
vealed, is essentially q German
development Of the last three years,
although there were some crude
efforts in that direction towards
the end of the last war.
The trick Is to leave some object
lying about, clumsily placed or
arranged IN some way to attract
attention, which is wired to an
explosive charge of some sort.
When the object is moved it actu-
ates a release mechanism which sets
OF the charge.
A pistol, a rife or a helmet might
be left lying in the middle of the
road, as If it has been dropped care
lessly by some soldier. The natural
