Granted Best Chances for
Conference Basket Crown
y by Experts
SEASON OPENS JAN. !
Annual Discussion of Hard
wood Prospects.
By NORMAN n. IsAAcs

Preseason basketball predictions
have the usual faculty of doing a.
rapid fade-out along about the mid
die OF the hardwood season. The
experts do their picking, Cabling
and gossipping quite steadily and
rarely fail to mark a few notches in
the 1--WE guessed em wrong column.
The Big Ten basket-sniping boys
come into their own Jan. z, the Of
fetal opening date of the confer
ence season. Dope and speculation,
of course, is running rife and it
seems to be a matter of hit and
miss.
The majority of the lads who stick
their mitts in their trousers pockets
and are regarded as the guys who
know" ("guys who are supposed to
know" would be better) seem to be
of the common opinion the Big Ten
court crown rests between Michi-
gan and Purdue.
Plenty Of Power
Michigan has a powerful squad,
a group of veterans and several
new youngsters who can step along
with the best of them. The VOL
verines demonstrated their true
power last season, and it's team this
year has the same potentialities as,
the champion quintet of last year.
Oosterbaan, Harrigan and Mccoy,
all vets, are among the clasSiest Of
the Conference hardwood perform
erS.
Ward Lambert appears to have
come into his own at Purdue. Lam
bert's squad this year is both one
to be proud of and yet still have
slight apprehensions about. Along
with several veterans the Boiler
makers have several sophomores
who established enviable records
while participating in high school
basketball and the Lafayette crew,
undoubtedly, will put up a stern
battle in the chase for the Big Ten
net gonfalon.
Many Young Stars

material hasn't the potential
strength it should possess Only
three veterans, Beckner, Correll and
Wells are on the squad and the
remainder all are of untried ma
terial. Everett Dean, however, is
one of the best mentors in the Con-
ference, and his club may be
depended upon to spring one OF the
fast-passing, battling attacks that
features the play of I. U. court
squads.
Doc Meanwell is expected to have
the same type of squad he usually
boasts at Wisconsin. 1t is expected
to be on a par with that turned out
by Illinois "a sturdy, aggressive
crew, more or less of the pony"
variety.
Minnesota, Iowa and Chicago are
not being handed much chances in
the way of making a bid for the
crown, but one never can tell about
these Conference outfits.
Northwestern and Ohio State are
classed in the dark horse" branch.
The Wildcats with a new coach,
Arthur (Dutch) Lonborg, have a
strong offense and may turn the
whole race topsy-turvy as may
Olsen's Ohio State aggregation.

Weather Shows Improve

Pilots Ready to Go

I PARIS, Aug. IL (E) - The local
| weather improved SO much today that
the aspiring trans Atlantic filters be-
gan to talk during the afternoon about
the possibility of hopping off for
America tomorrow morning. Later
weather reports received at Lie Bourget
flying field, however, dampened the
ardor of the pilots with the exception
of Leon Givon, who adhered to his
purpose of taking the air early to-
morrow morning in the blue Bird"
if he finds the weather improved by
then.
Neither the "Blue Bird" nor the
American plane Columbia can take off
before 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, it
was stated, because their paragraphs
have not been properly sealed by the
Aerio club. Furthermore, the Col

placed.
Meantime the storm is said TO have
broken out again between Maurice
Drouhin, French pilot of the Columbia,
and Charles A. Levine, her owner, who
is to be "a passenger on the trans
ocean flight. Drouhin, after short
visit today at Lie Bourget, where he
looked the machine over, returned to
Paris for rest, but was got out of bed
by messenger from the airport who
stated that Levine had had the con-
tact points of the spark plugs removed
from the Columbia.
Drouhin hurried to the airport and,
after an examination of the Columbia,
announced that the contact points
were gone 1t was also stated that the
Paragraph was found broken. He
demanded an explanation from Levine
regarding the contact points. The
owner is said to have replied that he
had ordered the contact points taken
out because of rumorS current during
the night that there was a scheme on
foot to slip the Columbia out of her
shed and fly her regardless of her own
er's wishes and without MIN aboard.
The rumor in question was published
in Paris paper printed in the English
language. It alleged that an American

Massachusetts Supreme
Court Will Pass On Case
Next Tuesday.
LEGAL BATTLE
Condemned Men Are In
Better Spirits AS Hope
Returns to Them.

| BOSTON, Aug. IL tP)-Nicola Sacco
and Bartolomeo Vanzetti tonight were
lodged at more comfortable distance
from the execution chamber of state
prison than they had been for a week
while the way was cleared for hear
| ing in their defense before the full
bench of the Massachusetts supreme
court.
In contrast to last night when they
waited in the death cells until half an
hour before the time scheduled for
their execution for the word which
brought them II days more of live, to-
night they were resting in obviously
better spirits in the Cherry Hill sec
ton of the prison.
In contrast, too, the flat denials Of
federal judges, the last pronouncement
of the courts yesterday, today gave
them assurance Of a hearing in the
state supreme court on exceptions to
denial of writ Of error and also of
exceptions to superior court rulings
which barred them from seeking
new trial or stay of sentence.
what beautiful day!" Sacco eX-
claimed this noon while crossing the
prison yard. Reviving spirits gave him
strength to make the trip unassisted
and to climb the stairs to more
cheerful cell than that which adjoins
the death chamber. Celestino Ma
deiros, who shared in the respite
granted by the governor and his coun-
Gil, was also moved.
The next legal battle in behalf of
Sacco and Vanzetti was scheduled to-
day for $3.50 Tuesday morning when
the four available justices of the SUI
preme court will meet as full bench
to hear the bill of exceptions allowed
by Judge SanderSon to his denial of a
writ of error.
Should their decision be favorable,
the case would go back to a single
justice for hearing on the merits,
reach the full bench.
Meanwhile Judge Thayer, superior
court justice who presided at the trial,
late today opened second avenue to
the supreme court when, at his home
in Worcester, he allowed defense ex-
ceptions to his rulings or lack of juris-
diction on motions for new trial, as
well as to denials of a stay of execu-
ton and revocation of sentence.
Vanzetti today drank coffee at two
meal times while Sacco, whose hunger
strike now has entered it's 26th day,
replied to the urgings of the prison
physician with: "No, that is my state
of mind I will not eat"
Guard precautions were relaxed in
part today as the atmosphere of the
case took on an easier tone strict watch
was maintained at strategic points.
Municipal courts meted out fines of
five dollars to 35 persons who "saunt-
cred and loitered" in front of the state
house yesterday and placed the case of
another demonstrator on file
