SEIZE PALACES
OF EXILED KING
Spanish Republic Moves to
Sequester Estate.
By United Press

By United Press
MADRID, May 1.-Two palaces
and an estate owned by former King
Alfonso XIII we're being seized to-
day as part Of the republican gov
ernment's program to sequester
properties belonging to the exiled
monarch.
The minister of finance, Idalecio
Prieto, ordered the seizure of the
MagdaIena palace at Santander, the
Miranar palace at San Sebastian
and the estate on the island of
Cortejada, near Ponteverda, all
owned by Alfonso as private posses
sioI1s. Alfonso's properties we're es-
tin1ated to be worth $10000,000.
The government took this drastic
action following anti-religious riots
earlier this week which, the au-
thorities said, were at least parti-
ally due to, the activities of Alfonso.
The country remained calm today.

Redman Flattens Pickerd in
State Heavy Title Battle
Swartout, Wabash half back.

Jack Redman, South Bend Negro,
made short work of Walter Pickerd,
Terre Haute, at the Armory Tues
day night in the Hoosier state
heavyweight title scrap, the cham
pion dropping the challenger in the
fifth round. 1t was a clean knock
out and Pickerd was still on his
back as the ten count was reached.
Redman was presented with the
state championship belt by Andy
Weisburg, state boxing commission
chairman.

A left hook to the jaw early in
the fifth canto started Pickerd on
his way, the crack of the blow being
heard around the ringside. It was
considerable punch. Following that
blast to the button the state champ
swarmed into Walter and beat HIM
down. The loser handed several
hefty wallops that shook Redman
in the fight.

1t is believed that the list of likely
candidates for the Brooklyn job, as
made up at the close of the season,
was topped by Burleigh Grimes, who
had made an open bid for the job.
Grimes was doubly eligible as the

leader would have to have a Brook
Ign background.
However, Grimes could not be OBJ
tanned. Breadon is sure that the

The Wildcats, however, will have
to trim Illinois in Saturdays game,
but that should not be such a diff
f1cult assignment in view of North
Westerns 100 victory over Ohio
State and Michigan's $50 triumph
over Illinois last week.
After the Minnesota game,
Northwestern has only to defeat
Indiana and Iowa to complete its
second consecutive season without
losing a conference game.
No Clear Records
Oddly enough, no Big Ten has an
indicated, united record. North
western has the only undefeated
record against all opposition, but
has the 90 tie against Notre Dame
which, however, doesn't mar but
adds prestige to the Wildcats claims
to one Of the greatest football teams
in the country this season.
Stanford defeated Minnesota,
1870. Wisconsin lost to Pennsyl-
vania, 27-13, and was tied by Au-
burn, IT.. Indiana has lost to
Notre Dame, $50, and played
90 tie with Iowa. All other con-
ference teams have lost games in
side the Big Ten.
The Big Ten has its best chance
Of the season this Saturday to make
a clean sweep of its intersectional
program. Michigan's powerful team,
which found itself against Illinois
last week, should win from Prince
ton in Palmer stadium and avenge
a defeat of so years standing. Back
in 1881 Michigan invaded the east
and met Harvard, Yale and Princeton
within the space OF 5 days, losing,
all three games. Princeton won,
1874.
Iowa Has Chance
Iowa, which hasn't scored a point
in four games, losing three and
tying the other, hes an even
chance to turn back George Wash
ington Of Washington, D. c., at
Iowa City. The eastern eleven,
has lost only one game,
winning from Shenandoah, Elon
and Boston university.
In the other conference game,
Purdue plays Chicago and the
Boilermakers, near full strength for
the first time this season, should
eclipse their 400 victory over the
Maroons in 1928 if Coach Noble
Kizer wishes to heap more discredit
on A. A. Stages fortieth anniver-
sary football aggregation.
