Bagdad, Calf, March 1O.-(P--
Another eXpanse Of sun baked des-
crt country today stretched before
the caravan Of $40 odd remaining
entrants in the $iS, 800 transcontin-
entail marathon.
Into Bagdad, on the Mojave
desert, they trudgcd last night after
a 41.9-milc battle with burning
sun and choking dust. To another
waterhole, Ais miles deeper into
the desolatc region. they turned
their attention today to the seventh
lap. Essex, an oasis even smaller
than that at which they spent last
night, stood as their days objective.
Arthur Newton, 44-year-old run
ner from Rhodesia, South Africa,
ranked as the leader Of the desert
cavalcade. His elapsed time for the
2O7.5 miles covered since the trek
started from Los Angeles, was 81
hours and two minutes.
Close behind Newton in elapsed
time was the Finnish racer, Oil
Wantinen, with 50 hours, IL min
utes and seven seconds.
A 1.-THE negro youth from Seattle,
Ed. Gardner, winner Of an earlier

Big Ten Cage Title
Rests on Outcome Of
G0pher-Purdue Game

Chicago, March 1O.-(P)-The
western conference basketball
championship, at least half Of it,
rested on the outcome Of the very
last game Of the season between
Purdue and Minnesota at Minnea-
polls tonight. Indiana holds half
interest, with season record of 10
victories and two defeats, and Pur-
due must win tonight to gain =
share Of the title.
The individual point scoring hon.
ors also hung in the balance, with
Bonnie Oosterbaan of Michigan
leading now with 129 points.
"Stretch" Murphy, the tallest play
err in the conference, reaching six
feet six in his socks, has 121 points,
needing four goals to tie and nine
points to win another honor for
himself and Purdue. He is the
Boilermakers' sophomore center.
Wisconsin made sure of half in
terest in third place, alongside
Northwestern, by defeating Illinois
last night, 80 to %. The Badgers
rolled up Is points before Illinois
began to register any scores at all.
The Iliini began a desperate battle
midway in the first half, but the
Wisconsin defense was too clever.

pionship for seven times since 1911,

CARPENTER WOULD
MEET GENE TUNNEY
Rumors Waited From Pari:
Tell of Gorgeous Georges
L0ngings For Fight

Paris, March 10.-(AP)-Georges
Carpenter is hungry for dollars
again. He's willing to fight if the
purse is fat.
Since he has been dancing and
doing his best to sing in the music
halls Of Paris, he has been all but
forgotten in the Queensbury realm.
Often he has been quoted as hay-
ing retired but now, as the box
office receipts are getting low,
Georges longs for fight in Amer
lea.
IF l put on the gloves again"
he is quoted as saying in his latest
conversation, land / certainly will,
it will not be to 60 after Bouquillon
or anyone like that. I'll go to Amer
lea where I'll find men worth meet
ing and promoters who will give me
ten times what I would get here. !"
That, of course, makes no hit with
the French and handsome Georges
is in rather bad.
Also, he adds, he isn't after any
titles. His championship hopes just
about ended when Dempsey put him
to sleep in 1921.

backward or forward SO the foot
reaches them exactly. If the run

be moved back perhaps a foot OF
more.
