HOOsier State
Steps Out

TINE fall of 1929 has wit
l. messed a bountiful crop in
Indiana sports and if basket
ball runs true to tradition, the
Hoosier harvest is not fully
reaped as yet.
Out of two Big Ten cham
pionshipS settled thus far,
Purdue university lays claim
to one, the football title, and
Indiana U. grabbed the cross
country crown. Furthermore,
Purdue was undefeated and
united in football.
And topping the list of Hoo
Sier achievements was the feat
of the great Notre Dame eleven
in parading through a season
of stiff obstacles with never q
defeat or a tie chalked up
against them.

has filled the mind Of the man in the
street and brought echoes from official
circles
That the French government on its
own initiative had designated the naval
base at Toulon as the safest available
landing field for the imperiled Zeppelin
was described as "a fine illustration of
humane reciprocity between nations,
before which all other considerations
must be relegated to the background"
French officials had waived their
hitherto strictly enforced regulations
against flying over Notifications or
military centers in order to afford a
safe berth at Toulon for the airship.
Cites Cutting Of Cables.
AS the most remarkable instance of
French helpfulness, however, one paper
emphasized the readiness with which
French authorities undertook the great
inconvenience to the public of cutting
of the current in overhead high ten
sion power wires in the entire Valence
district lest the airship be endangered
by falling among them.
Federal Minister of Transportation
Stegerwald today sent the following
message to M. Laurent -Eynac, French
air minister:
Noted with great satisfaction the
able and energetic measures with which
the French government responded to
the Graf zeppelins call for assistance
and to the success of which the safe
landing near Toulon was due. Pray
accept my sincerest thanks for the
splendid and efficient action"
