1 have chosen the N. w. meters
as the surprise winner, but such
an upset hardly appears possible
now. The games is likely to be
close, with the Buckeyes ahead
as the gun sounds. The home
club doesn't ALWAYS win.
IN this column on Tuesday
the following paragraph ap.
! peared.
We have a hunch--and 1t is a
disagreeable one for followers Of
Purdue. We just have a sneaking
feeling that Illinois is going to up
set the dope on Wednesday night
and down the Bojlermaker basket
ball team. Don't ask US why. We
just feel that way. Dope points
the other way, and we hope we're
wrong.
We haven't missed on many of
the Western Conference games this
season. Most everybody laughed
at this latest prediction. That's
why we want to rub it in a little
not that we have anything against
Purdue. In fact, we think the club
was unlucky or it should have won
at Illinois.
But, while we are on this sub
ject, there is more bad news for
the Lafayette club. Disregarding
tho. home floor advantage, which
has been working like a charm
this season, we here and now pick
Indiana to beat the Boilermakers
on Saturday night.
1t is reported that the I'M
perial Club of Nice refused an
offer Of 100000 francs for the
gate receipts and entry fees of
the tournament i'm which SUI
Zanne and Helen first met in
mixed doubles match.

these now marks in every aquatic
tourney. Can anybody enlighten
us as to why the human fish can
smash the records year after year?
Isn't there q limit somewhere?
The women and. the men were
at the exciting pastime of break
ing world marks again on
Wednesday. At Chicago: Farley,
Borg, WeissmulIer and the Chi
cago A. A. relay team were
credited with world records.
In the womens national A. A.
y meet at st. Augustine press
dispatches state that three swim
mers in the 220-yard free style
event were ahead Of all existing
time.
Martha Morelius Of New York
won the final heat in 2 minutes,
443-5 seconds. Ethel Lackie, who
finished second, also was. ahead Of
the old mark Of 2 minutes, 1895
seconds. Miss Vehselau, the
Hawaiian, beat the former mark
in a preliminary heat.
But that wasn't all. Agnes
Geraghty of New York won the
200-yard breast stroke in 1858 As.
The former record was 1902 Is.
If we could swim any better
than a stone, we'd never be salts
fled until we had a worlds record
And then we'd go out and beat
that.
1t is said that flock of sea
guils occupied the tennis courts
at the Carlton Club Wednesday.
About six inches of water fur
,sished a nice place i'm which to
float around. Evidently the birds
had heard the French say that
there were plenty of fish around 4
the Riviera matches.
Wouldn't it be an awful shock
to some of the Frenchmen who
are laying the long odds on SUI
zanne if Miss Wills should upset
fhe dope? Boy, oh boy, how we
hope she cant
IA 1LENTY of discussion has
r. arisen since the lights went
- out twice at Charlottesville
during the Butler-Wabash basket
ball game Tuesday night Most
of it centers around Referee
Kearns' action on one occasion of
endeavoring to place the players
in the exact positions they held
before the eclipse
There is nothing in the rules
for this emergency 1t does
seem as though the Official chose
about the hardest way to get the
game going again. He was up
against an almost impossible task.
1t might have been better to
have tossed the ball up between
the two players nearest to it at
the time tine blackness settled
over things-and let it go at that.
The first time the lights went
bloo-ey foul had just been
called, so that the game started
rgain with the free throw. Such
situations are indeed a problem.
There is the plot for a good story
In such happenings.
