This is only fitting as in no State in

Indiana, and In the big Coliseum with

holding of tournaments unequalled in
the country.
The great interest displayed in the big
contest throughout the country has been
a surprise even to the most optimistic
members Of the Junior Chamber of Com

is being held. Following the announce
ment of the tournament Floyd Chafee,
chairman Of the tournament committee,
was flooded with letters and kilograms

Norfolk to the floor only to have him

to enter IL on the list of one of those
