BIC 10 HOPES HIGH
FOR THE O[YMP|CS
Simpson Ace Candidate for
u. S. Team-Indiana Has
Nine Prospects.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

)HICAGO, February S.-The
4 Western Conference promises
Y 4 to be well represented in the
Olympic tryouts both by
undergraduates and those who already
have completed their participation in
intercollegiate athletics.
Foremost among the Big Ten stars
who will try for a place on the United
States team is George Simpson, the
former Ohio State Sprinter Simpson
now is running under the colors of the
Los Angeles Athletic Club and is in
splendid condition.
Frank Hill, veteran coach of North
Westerns track team, still insists that
Simpson is the greatest of all sprinters
and that if in his best form will win
either of the two short SprintS.
Tommy Warne. the Northwestern
pole vaulter is another who has at
tanned fine form in his training for the
Olympic tryoutS. Warne suffered last
year from an injured ankle but once
more is in excellent condition and has
done some fine work on the indoor run
ways Orval Martin, Purdue's great
middle distance runner, also is mem-
ber of the Los Angeles A. c., and Dean
Cromwell, the University of Southern
California coach, believes the former
Boilermaker will be a point winner .Or
the United States. Eddie Tolan, the
Michigan sprinter, and Edward Godron,
Iowa's broad jumper, are two other
Middle Westerners almost certain to
win places on the American squad.
A MONG the undergraduates of the
n Western Conference most likely to
star in the Olymp:ad is Jack
Keller, the slat-hke hurdler of Ohio
State. Frank Castleman, who has de-
veloped more star hurdlers than any
other coach in the business, is of the
opinion that Keller will break the
world record over the high timbers this
year Clarence Mum C Minnesota
most likely will be one of Uncle Sans
shot putters, and the Big Gopher al
ready is in training for the Summer
games.
Down at Indiana University, Coach
E. c. Hayes has nine candidates for
the Olympic team. They are: Ivan
Fuqua in the 100, 200 and 400 meter
events; Rodney Leas, Henry Brock
SIlllIIl anu Su11OIu WdGSOl III lie l,0OO,
5000 and 10000 meter runs and the
3000-meter steeplechase; James Hat
field in the 110-meter hurdles, William
Beecher in the high jump and pole
vault, Noble Biddinger in the weights
and Wilmer Rinehart in the javelin.
EUQUA, who has not yet started his
i intercollegiate competition in track
is one of the best prospects to en-
ter the Big Ten field in years, and was
placed on the all-American scholastic
teams of 1929 and 1880.
Jack Riley of Northwestern, the pres
ent intercollegiate heavyweight wres-
ting champion, is another who should
place on the United States team Riley

Westerns early wrestling contests, and
is favored to retain his national title
this year. Northwestern also has a

chance of landing five or six of its
brightest stars on the United States

 Police Chief Ernest w. Brown made preparations for any contin- gency but after conference with leaders of the march expressed be- lief that there would be no trou- ble.
 At Browns recommendation the District of Columbia commission CTS rescinded an order forbidding the marchers to enter the city on Sunday as an organized body. They promised that all constitutional rights would be given the demon strators.
 Brown said the marchers would be permitted to carry banners "un- less they are too inflamatory." He indicated he might grant permit for a parade on Monday, although Vice President Curtis and Speaker Garner flatly refused to authorize a demonstration on the capitol grounds.
 Herbert Benjamin, commander of the hunger march, assured Brown he was making adequate ar- engagements for feeding and hous- ing the marchers. He promised they would leave the city Tuesday night or Wednesday morning.
 Brown indicated he might sta- tion guards at power plants, bridges, water reservoirs as a precautionary measure.
 Wartime precautions already have been put in effect on Capitol Hill to protect congressmen from demonstrators. Police have been ordered to prevent packages being carried into the capitol.
 Police assignments have been shifted to place two guards at the more generally used entrances. As in war time the winding stair way to the dome is closed.
 Steel bars clang shut at the capitol shortly after sundown. They are chained, locked and guarded by policemen who scrutin- ize all nocturnal visitors.
