RAILROADS EXTEND
RADIO OPERATIONS
Canadian Lines Equip Club Cars
With Head Sets for
Passengers.

The day when the average citizen
speeding across the country IN an ex-
press train may carry on conversation
with his family or his office IN cities
ahead or those he has left behind may
not be so far distant. AS q matter OF
fact, this already is being done in Ger
many and Russia, by virtue of radio
telephony, and in due course OF time
should be effected here.
In many other ways radio is destined
to help the railroads. These are enumer-
ated by O. H. Caldwell, former radio
commissioner.
Already, he points out, radio contrib
utes to the operation of the American
railroads in several ways Radio tele-
phony is being tried out between caboose

the connection is still there.
In gravity switch yards radio Is the
means by which the men in the towers
direct the operations of the shuntine
engines, saving costs, their time and
endless trouble. It, in turn, opens the
way for the eventual development Of
constant radio communication with
freight and passenger trains all along
the right of way.
The Radio Commission has set aside
five short-wave channels for the use OF
transmitters on railroad rolling stock
and on railroad tugs. These channels
Mr.. Caldwell believes, will amply pro.

Aside from the purely commercial
aspects Of the potential radio aid X

with the nine victories and one de-
feat record of Wisconsin.
Right now, indications point to
the Michigan-Wisconsin game of
next Monday night as the contest
which will decide the championship.
Wisconsin does not play again
this week, but the Wolverines meet
Ohio next Saturday night. If Mich
igan defeats Ohio, and it should,
that would mean the two teams
would go into the Ann Arbor battle
Monday with but a half game sep
arating them.
Purdue to gain a three-way tie
must win all its remaining con-
tests while Michigan drops one
game and Wisconsin loses both its
remaining contests, a conjecture
which is extremely unlikely.
In the other two games Monday
night, Ohio won from Iowa 1923,
and Northwestern defeated Indiana
1926, in an overtime contest.
The Northwestern Indiana game
brought out one of Indiana's best
showings of the season. Indiana
put up good fight against a team
which has played havoc with the
championship hopes Of Purdue and
MICHIGAN Big Ten standings.

BY FRANK GETTY
United Press Sports Edito-

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Feb. 2e.-
Two events heightened the odds to-
day on Jack Sharkey in his fight
with Young stribling at Flamingo
park. Wednesday night.
One was the much discussed
Stribling rib, which, it was revealed
Monday, got out Of line about six
days ago and threatened to keep the
young Georgia heavyweight out Of
the ring.
The other event was an impress
i've workout which Sharkey staged
Monday AFTERNOON. Sharkey went
two rounds, one with Johnny Crosse
and the other with Paul Hoffman.
True, there wasn't any heavy hit
ting, but the Sparring was at fast
clip and Sharkey came out Of the
workout prespiring freely and
weighing 100 pounds.
The Boston battler is a fine figure
of fighting man and should win
this fight going away, as they say
at Hialeah.
1t is unfortunate that the dislo-
cation of Striblings rib imposed a
handicap upon the Georgian, for
he will need everything he can
muster to come out on top in
Wednesday rights tussle.
Monday afternoon Pa Stribling
appeared confident, announcing that
his boy was ready for the fight of
his life.
Meanwhile, over in Sharkey's
camp, they are laughing and telling
everyone that Stribling is getting
his alibi all set before he crawls into
the ring

Tecl1 Faces
Rocky Road
in Sectional
Large Crowds to Witness
Hard-Fought Games in
Local Meet.
sBY DICK MILLER

The largest crowd ever to witness
the Indianapolis high school Sec
tional basketball tournament is ex-
pected to view the game here Fri
day and Saturday of this week, ac-
cording to Fred German, athletic
manager at Technical high school,
in charge of arrangements.
While many local fans are certain
that Tech will win the local meet,
the draw announced last Saturday,
pairing up the sixteen teams vieing
for the honors, reveals the fact the
green and white will be forced to
travel rocky road to come out on
top.
Washington, Shortridge, South
port and Technical are in the lower
bracket. 1t appears that Tech and
Washington will meet in a second
round game Saturday morning.
Shortridge should defeat New Au-
gusta in the opening struggle Fri
day night and the defeat of the
winner of the New Bethel-South-
port first round tilt.
BY winning Shortridge will go to
the semi-f1nals and clash with Tech.
The upper bracket which calls
for Manual to meet Lawrence in
the opening game at Friday morn
ing, should be a thriller. Ben Davis
is expected to reach the semi finals.
Whether Broad Ripple, Manual or
Lawrence will be the other team is
something likely to be decided only
after some hard fought encounters.
The strain of the lower bracket is
liable to tell somewhat in the final
outcome but with equally hard
fights on hand for the teams in the
upper bracket one rather expects
Tech to run true to form and win
the local meet.
