 Mir. Hawkesworth Talks
 A talk by c. w. Hawkesworth about the International Oratorical Contest, concluded the evening program. The result of MT. Hawkes. worths very clear and convincing explanation of the contest and Its purpose was to have the possibility of Alaska joining in with the other States and countries being referred to the Executive Committee for in vestigation and report.
 MT. Hawkesworth explained lucid ly the circumstances surrounding the contest, the rules involved and the great good resulting to both the children and the countries par ticipating The children who en- ter are required to be under 19 years of age, the addresses are Inn tied to 10 minutes and the subject in all cases is the Constitution of the United States. Children from other countries, may use problems of their own nations, as related to the U. s. Constitution for their subjects.
 The proper organization to get back of the movement for Alaska's entry in the international contest is the Parent Teachers Associa- tion, MT. Hawkesworth said. He that the Juneau organi- zation take the lead in the mat ter and that other PIT. As will IOlI1 III, do Wt-- do Oullcl SluDo diit societies, to help finance the af- lair.
 The contest started in California n 1923, as a purely state affair and was taken up by the American Bar Association in 1924, when it asked the newspapers to take it up and sponsor a nation wide contest. In 1926 it became international, when several other countries sent com petitors, and at the last contest in D. C., 21 nations were represented.
 The prize awarded to the final was awarded to an Ameri- can boy sn 1926, a Mexican in 1927 and a French boy in 1928. Mir emphasized the im- portance of children being taught to think concisely and speak clear ly while on their feet, which par ticipation in the contest would en- courage.

 Committee Goes Into Huddle
 To the surprise of everyone Chair man Butler called the sub-CommIt- tee to order and told Commissioner Beckwith that since he was named first he was the chairman.
 Commissioner Dehm urged the construction of two beams instead of one and in all his suggestion seemed 10 those in attendance at the meet ing as the most constructive. Com missioner Tomasso again urged en- ploying q supervisor or architect.
 At this point. Chief Noble gave his opinion. He said he had had unpleasant experiences with aren't tects who were hard to find when q question had to be solved relative b construction, In one case a con- tractor had to go on with the work and correct the mistakes in the architects plan as he proceeded.
 It was shown that the No fire house construction was completed without architectural supervision at a cost of s4,10O. No, 3 constructions was estimated at approximately SL500.
 A motion was made Icy Chairmln Butler that the plans of Engineer Baldwin be accepted and a commit tee of the board be appointed 10 supervise the job. Nr. Dchm salG he could sec no reason why the board should supervise the work. He said. If it were concerning meat l would be Of help.' He is an owner of market.
 On the vote, a two to two draw resulted Commissioners Bcckwith and Tomasso voting in favor and Chairman Butler and Commissioner Dehm voting in opposition to it.
 Mr. Dehm felt that there was lit tie use sitting at tho mectinc and getting nowhere. Ho suggested that a motion to adjourn be in order. It was his opinion that the members could get further if they studied the telligent vote when a special meet Ing IS called.
 TOmasso Wanted Hcnncssy
 The chairman began questioning Commissioner Tomasso. He found that the commissioner wanted to have former Building Inspector Hen- messy appointed as supervisor of the work so that man would he there at all times.
 Questioned about his opinion of the steel work he said it was satis- factory.

 Object to Procedure
 Commissioner Harry Beckwith Raised an objection because Chair 1nan James J. Butler had carried out the program to tho point of re- teiving bids without consulting other members Of the board. and Com missioner Angelo TOmasso favored acjeCting the bids and plans because fhcN were not prepared by an archi- feet. The result of their opposition NaS the defeat of the chairman s recommendation which was later to be adopted in it's identical form, to- Eether with a motion approving Chairman Buffers action.
 When Commissioner Beckwith re- hained firm in his stand and re- fused to accept the plans because he and other members had not been tGnSultod, Chairman Butler upbraid- ed him, saying; Are you going to sit hero and do nothing about the siation?

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Feb. 49,
Purdue's basketballing cavaliers
handed the cream and crimson of
old Indiana a good, healthy dose
of the new famous delayed offense"
here Monday night and the Boiler
makers elected themselves to office
without much ado, the final sum-up
of the ballot-books showing the
home boys a 80 to Is victor.
Whatever the merits of the de-
layed offense may be, Indiana didn't
think so much of the matter today.
Purdue, on the other hand, had an
entirely different view of the whole
idea. The game, toward its con-
clusion, contained a good many
Iaughs-for Purdue.

was on g. par with that of Indiana

Purdue athletes commenced spend
ing most of their time in the region
of their back court, scampering up
to the center occasionally to give
Indiana the heart-thumps.
Some excellent long and short
barrages by Cummins and Murphy
boosted Purdue's point total. Indi-
ana meanwhile was considering
ways and means of securing pos
session of the leather.
The Crimson secured the ball at
odd moments of the last twenty
minutes and succeeded in getting
one solitary field goal during the
closing canto The visitors voted

in Big Race
Lure of Speed Likely to
Draw Great Pilot From
Retirement.

Peter De Paolo, famous nephew Of
the equally noted Ralph De Palma
and a speedway champion in his
own right, is feeling the lure of
the gasoline paths. Pete, who last
year announced his retirement after
an accident just before the running
of the 500-n1ile classic, may enter
this years race, it was announced
today.
It is rumored that De Paolo may
drive front-wheel-drive chariot,
constructed by Cliff Woodbury. of
Chicago. Woodbury. would like to
have De Paolo at the wheel of his
car and Pete may come back to the
old speed business.
De Paolo won the 1926 500-mile
grind, setting the record of 101.13
miles an hour for the entire dis
lance. His 500-mile mark never has
been equalled. In 1924, Pete was
sixth and in 1927, he finished
fifth. All three times he was at
the helm of a Duesenberg.
In practice last year, two days be-
fore the race, his car turned over
on the northwest turn and he was
cut and bruised. He was able to
watch the race, however, from an
ambulance cot.
simultaneously, Pete retired. I'm

a lot of fun and made some money.

But Pete is beginning to recon-

very strong.

What started out to be some HARM
less ba1lyhoo for the forthcoming
Sharkey-Stribling fight developed
today into tidy little row between
the managers of the rival heavy
weight contenders.
The question of who is to referee
the bout was the subject of another
heated conference, the discussion
settling down to question of inter-
probation of the contracts signed by
the Madison Square Garden Cor

Badgers Go
to Front in
Big Ten Race
Illinois UpSetS Wolverines
and Wisconsin FORCES
to the Top.
BY BERT DEMBY,
United Press stan Cnrrcsnondent

CHICAGO, Feb. Wisconsin. a
team which has improved con-
stantly since losing to Michigan
early in the season, today assumed
undiSputed possession of first place
in the Big Ten basketball race.
The Badgers went into the lead
Monday night when they trounced
Northwestern, 1928, while Michigan
was losing to Illinois, 27-24, in
another of the many upsets which
have featured the season. Michigan
is tied with Purdue for second
place.
Face Stiff Test
Right now, Wisconsin is faced
with three of its hardest games of
the season. The Badgers must meet
Northwestern, Purdue and Michigan.
A win over Northwestern on the
latter's home floor is a man sized
job and the IA point margin which
the Badgers achieved on their home
floor Monday night is not in
dicative of the kind of opposition
they will face at Evanston, Satur-
DAY night.
Minnesota turned in the most
startling upset on Monday night
when the team suddenly came to
life to defeat Iowa, heretofore con-
sidered an outside championship
possibility, by the rather lopsided
score of 1922.
Down Goes Chicago
In the other two games of the
night, Purdue defeated Indiana,
30-16, and Ohio handed Chicago it's
ninth straight defeat, 35 to 81. Next
Saturdays games may see the teams
shifted around again in the stand
ings.
Wisconsin comes to Evanston and
the home floor fight Of Northwest
ern may extend the Badgers to the
limit. In the other three games,
Minnesota meets Chicago, Iowa goes
to Michigan and Illinois plays St
Indiana. Purdue is at Ohio State
Friday.

Fumbled Ball
Ruled Dead
Football Recovered by OPP
posing Side DoWned at
Point of Recovery.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press staff Correspondent


NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-.Under the
new football rules there will be no
such thing as long runs for touch
downs after scooping up the OPP
ponent's fumbles.
In the past, a ball which had been
funbled was free and might be
picked up and advanced by either
team. Now a funbled ball recov-
cred by the opposing side. will be
dead at the point of recovery. The
furnbling eleven, however, may pick
up the ball and continue its adj
vance.
Roy Reigels' famous" wrong-way
run in the California Georgia Tech
game at Pasadena New Years day
would have been impossible under
the new legislation announced Mon
day by the national football rules
committee.
The new rule will not apply in
case of forward or backward passes
which are intercepted before strik-
ing the ground, nor will it apply to
blocked kicks, which Will be played
as heretofore.
Three other important changes
were made in the rules for 1929, as
follows:
!. All kicks legally recovered by the
kicking side now may be advanced in
accordance with the uniform rules. This
rule now includes free kicks and kiek-oits,
whereas it formerly applied only to KICKS
from Scrimmage.
2. On forward passes, no player on the
side in possession of the ball who has
crossed the line of scrimmage shall inter
fere with an opponent until the ball has
tempt to catch the ball.
g. The try-for-point after touchdown
will be made from the two-yard line I'M
stead of the three-yard line.
The question Of moving the goal
posts back tc the goal line was
brought up, but it was decided to
leave them where they are, ten yards
behind the goal line.
