TRACK STARS ID | BATTLE TOMORROW
B7acey, Tolan, Simpson and
 Ldand Entered in Meet

Chicago. June ' R>-The battle of the century will be fought at Staeg field tomorrow. not with fists but with feet-the flying feet of the cen tury's best-Bracey. Tolan, Simpson, Leland and the rest.
 There were other important en- gagements on the 14-event card of the National Collegiate A. A. meet which began today, particularly the pole vault. the shot put. the e2O yard dash; but the century the 100 yards of stamina and speed over the cinders. promised to be the Big Ten seconds of the meet.
 The final of the century. as we'll as of all events. will be decided to- morrow. Trial heats today. however. carried the promise of being run in as fast time as ever has been made by man.
 Fourteen entries in this dash have been timed under 10 seconds. Bracey of Rice Institute; Tolan, the Michi- gan negro star: Simpson of Ohio State. and Leland of Texas Christian. have travelled the distance in :09.5, which is as fast as it ever had been run. so far as accepted records re- veal.
 Among the f9 universities and colleges represented by the 332 ath- letes. the University of Illinois was serious challenger for team honors because of its balance rather than on account of any preponderance of individual stars. The universities of Washington and Southern Califor- mia also were given important con- sideration. Another far western school. Stanford. had three men en. tered. striving for individual honors rather than team victory.
 The pole vault record of 13 feet CR inches has been beaten this spring by several of the men enter cd in this event. including Warne of Northwestern. Canby of Iowa, Nc. Dsrmott of Illinois, Williams of Southern California, and Edmonds of Stanford. holder of the record.
 In the .o0-yatd dash Bracey, Tolan and Simpson have all travelled the route in less than 21 seconds. The field, in addition to these men. is fast enough to inspire record smashing.
 One record that looked safe was Dehart Hubbard's 25 feet 10 7-s inches broad jump. Hill of Southern California is the only entry who has done better than 25 feet. and he by just the fraction of an inch.
 The weatherman frowned on the meet with auguries of rain by to- morrow.

 In this day of seven day celebra- tions. why not pause for seven days and celebrate . Play Your. Own Shot, Week." de1icated to the golf ers who are always giving unasked- for advice
 Here we have John H. Dubb with just g simple 12o-yard pitch to the green to make. That Is, it was simple before Bill reminds him the wind is blowing and it is farther down there than it looks. and Henry reminds him that he has the wrong club-that Walter Hagen used a stx: Watfous put it, on, with | IF. ana Diekel ran two. iron up to the pin. Bob also chirps up that his favorite club is a spoon. Y.
 The boys start him worrying about what should be . simple shot and. as a result. his mind is filled with indecision and the air with turf. He makes his swing worry ing about the distance, the choice of clubs and the wind. The result is he hits one of those aggravating shots where you look in one direc- ton and the ball gees another.
 Advice should be very seldom asked for and when it is asked the caddy should supply t.
 Don't form the habit of trying to play the other fellows shots for him. If he asks you the distance. condition of tine green or approach, tell him, by all means. but don't gc around the course letting out un- aSked-for remarks about the clubs. distance, wind and what-not.

COACH FAILS TO
 PRESENT CHARGES
Bi8 .Tn Conference Hslls
 Nothing Against Purdue

Chicago, June [ Rl-A feeling of relief. mingled with continued viz itance. existed in the Biz Ten con.~ ference today. following the failure |of Coach Everett Case of Frankfort. Ind. high school. to make expected sensational charges of rroselyting and subsidixinE athletes. against Pur- due and other member institutions. Case came here yesterday, report ed to be ready to tell Major John L. Griffith. Biz Ten athletic commis. sioner. of the activities of other schools who were "as guilty as Iowa" in the matter of hiring ath- letes.
 After two-hour conference with Case. however. Major Griffith an- nounced that the Frankfort coach had made no charges against Pur- due or any other school" but had come to Chicago to "learn who had linked his name with the Iowa case"
 Case had been charged with hav- irg sent members of his Indiana high school basketball champion ship team to Iowa in exchange for teachers credits following the sum- mer school session of 1927. Case de- nied this and said the athletes in question. Doyle. Plunkett and Bob i Spradling, had chosen Iowa of their own accord:
 ] He explained to Major Griffith that the question of his summer school credits had been investigated and the matter settled to the satos- faction of the Frankfort school board. and the Indiana board of ed- location.
 While Major Griffith said that Case had made no charges against any Biz Ten schools. he added tn t any information he had gained dur ing his conference with Case would be turned over to schools concerned and to the Big Ten faculty commit tee on athletics which expelled Iowa nearly two weeks ago. Case was said to have told the Frankfort board of education that Purdue university was ''as guilty as Iowa" in seeking the services of ath- letes.
 He modified this by saying that
 Ward Lambert, Purdue basketball coach, as we'll as other coaches, had visited Frankfort to talk to his ath-
 letes. He denied that he had charged any coach with having attempted to hire athletes. He said that Justin
 (Sam) Barry. who recently resigned as basketball coach at Iowa. was a good friend of his. but declared that fact had nothing to do with the de- cision Of SpradlinE and Plunkett to select Iowa over Purdue or any oth- CT school.

defaced by locating the bridge at

effort to bring objections to the Sc
lected location on the part of
Maple avenue residents, but did
not succeed. Capt. William Bach
eler and Capt. w. D. Flowers, both
well-known river and bay pilots,
discussed the proposed location of
the span from the standpoint of
navigation. They were of the
opinion that with a much wider
drain in the new structure, and
the shore space time required for
opening and closing the draw,
there would be no serious menace
to navigation by placing the
bridge in a diagonal position
across the river, as it is proposed
to do by the roads commission, in
stead of running it at right angles
to the water edge of the town. w.
Irving Walker, prominent land
owner of Queen Anne county, dis
cussed the new structure from the
standpoint of it's assistance to the
shipping interests in his county.
Colonel Hannum said that written
objections to the position of the
bridge would receive the attention
of the War Department before its
approval was given to the propos-
ed plans of the roads commission.
It is believed that the outcome of
the hearing will in no way alter
the plans of the roads commission
or the War Department, either as
to the location of the span or of its
position across the river.

SCHOOL ELECTION AT DOVER
Building Commission to Be Named
by Voters on August 26th

A special election will be held on
August 26 at the Dover Public
School building to elect a building
commission to cooperate with the
State Board of Education in the
erection of the addition to the
present school building of six
rooms, that number being suggest
ed as the number actually needed
for the increase in registration
contemplated within the next year
or two and also to take care of
the overcrOWded condition now ex-
isting in some of the lower rooms.
Concerning the erection of Dover's
new school building some few
years ago, the district raised its
full quota under the school law in
effect that time and consequently
no extra tax will be levied as the
expense for the addition will come
out of the schol building program
appropriation. The six room prop
osition for Dover seems most ad-
mlfdDIe from the fact that in
building the new structure, provi-
sion was made for such addition
by having walls already on one
side, thus lessening the expense.
The members of the commission
suggested for the voters of the
Special School District to be voted
for on August 26, include John
Carrow, H. c. Helm, Mrs A. A.
Hearn and John c. Hopkins, the
first three persons being members
of the present school board and
John c. Hopkins, a former member
of Dover Board of Education many
years ago, being the fourth mem
ber.
