has won 81 games against Is for
Princeton.
Princeton has a somewhat better
record with four victories and two

when these two fight il out as they

into the early days Of football will
be resumed at Philadelphia between

NURMI NOT TO

FRIEND SAYS
Quist, Former Mana

Seek New Records

~ BY ALAN j. GOULD

NAssociated Press Sports Editor)
NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Pl-The
tkeptical gentlemen who see the
noilar sign in most athletic moves
and counter-moves these days may
for a shock when the celebrat-
Cd Phantom Of Finland, Paavo Nur-
mi, returns to the United States in
, few weeks for an indefinite visit.
The ~suppositfon that Paavo is
coming over with the definite inten-
uon Of turning professional, there
ny capitalizing one Of the greatest
running careers Of all time, IS
founded by Hugo Quist. And Hugo
ought to know. He is perhaps closer
20 Nurmi than anyone in this coun-
Try. He managed the peerless ones
famous tour here in 1926.
"Nurmi. so far as | know and |
feel pretty sure OF my ground, has
not the slightest intention Of turn
sng pro. He probably will run in
rms country, a few races indoors,
hut his main idea is to make a con-
certed attack on outdoor distance
records up to % kilometers next
spring before ending his career as
m amateur and as n runner.
"Nurmi is much interested in con-
tinuing the development of track
athletics in Finland an considers he
has reached n point where he can
DO more good by coaching than COM
peting.
"Nurmi. / think, will spend p good
deal of time here visiting COLLEGES
and schools to add 10 his knowledge

TEN RACE

Leaders Threatened by
Ohio and Illinois
Teams

CHICAGO, Nov. l5.-tP,- The race
for Big Ten championship honors
won't be ended by the Iowa-Wiscon-
sin game Saturday If Minnesota and
Michigan succeed in their ambitions
TO scramble the conference stand
ings.
Only a victory Saturday and an
other Nov. n can insure either Iowa
or Wisconsin a clear claim to the
championship. A defeat for either
or both would allow Ohio and Illinois
a chance to tie for the title.
Whether Iowa or Wisconsin wins,
they face later stumbling blocks in
Michigan and Minnesota. Iowa must
meet Michigan's up and coming elev-
en-. November "a. while Wisconsin
faces a final game with its tradi-
tional rival, Minnesota, the same day.
With non-conference opponents
carded for this week. Minnesota and
Michigan have forgotten everything
but the two championship contend
ers-fowa and Wisconsin-and are
working overtime for next weeks
games. Minnesota, especially. looks
dangerous fer its game against Wis

MCPHERSON CASE UNDER PROBE
BY LOS ANGELES GRAND JURY

Kcycs handled the conspiracy to
defeat justice' ease which was
brought against Mrs. Mcpherson af-
ter her temperance in Arizona.
The charges were dismissed after a
hearing and before trial.
To Plead Tuesday
Keycs and seven co-defcndants
will plead Tuesday to bribery charg-
es and prosecution of trial in such
n manner to insure acquittal in re-
turn for substantial bribes from
criminals.
Witnesses who testified before the
Jury yesterday and others called for
testimony next week confirmed the
report of the Mrs. Mcpherson probe.
When the grand jury resumes its
hearings Tuesday ii is expected to
conclude its investigation into the
asserted framing of City Com-
Gilman Carl jacobson.
Indictments already have been re-
turned in this ease, it was reported,
and others will follow.
The purported confession of Mrs.
Callie Grimes re-opened this old
case. She said she was paid by Al
bert Marco, underworld leader to
attempt to entice jacobson into Il
compromising position.
Five ranking police officers lad
parts in the plot, she said.

Los ANGELES, Nov. 10. - The

PhersOn case has been dragged out
once again for official review.
The grand jury, begged in a series
of asserted city and county corrup-
tion, has settled now ON the cvange-
list S kidnapping and the court ac-
tion it prompted.
Since the jury adjourned last night
until Tuesday no official moves will
be made until then but it is known
that the inquisitorial body already
has issued subpoenaes for important
figures in the asserted abduction.
Mrs, Lorraine Wiscman-Seilaff,
the Miss "N' of the ease, Mrs.
Minnie Kennedy, mother of the cv-
angelist, and, perhaps, Mrs. McPhcr-
son, herself, have been subpOcnaed.
While Mrs. Mcpherson will not re-
turn here from abroad until Thanks
giving, other principals are avail
able and are expected to be called

DARING BANDIT
BY United Press Leased Wire

COFFEG WILLIE, kas., Nov. To-
A pack of bloodhounds was put on
the trail of a kidnapper today after
he had freed two police officers and
then wrecked the automobile which
he was driving.
The Officers, Earl Hackney, chief
of police, and w. H. McMurty, his
first assistant, were kidnapped
shortly before noon yesterday when
they answered call to a local pro-
duce house to arrest man who was
stealing chickens.
The chicken thief, identified today
as Dick Gregg, ex-convict of Okla
homa, forced the pair into his car
and drove toward the Oklahoma bor-
der.
Near Caney the kidnapper stop
ped and released his prisoners
Hackney ran to a farm house and
obtained a rifle with which he fired
at the speeding car. One of the
shots may have been effective be-
cause the automobile crashed into n
fence and the driver disappeared in
TO the brush.
Bloohounds from jefferson were
put on the trail today.
1t appears the abduction was per-
petratcd merely to avoid arrest ON
