BIZ United Press
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, March IL.
First call for candidates for the

over the coaching reins here.
Retention of all Of the coaching

firing head coach, and w. H. Thorn,

ACTS TO
ASSURE PEACE
MusSoIini Takes Direct
Action in Calling DoIIfuSS
to Rome.
By United Press

By United Press
ROME. March l2.--Ttaly. dis
gusted with the trend of European
diplomacy, has decided to take di-
rect action to insure its own peace.
The decision will be announced tao
lily when Chancellor Engelbert Doll
fuss of Austria and Premier Julius
Goemboes of Hungary confer here
Wednesday with Premier Benito
MuSsolini.
AS part of MusSolini's decision to
make his own diplomatic agree
ments in an effort to prevent a
realignment in central Europe,
which he believes would mean war,
he has decided, it was learned au-
thoritatively, to have Italy repre-
sented for the present at-large con-
ferences of powers only in an OBJ
serving capacity, awaiting some sug-
gestionS from other nations he be-
heves might be useful.
A similar policy was announced
several weeks ago concerning dis
armament
The meeting with DollfuSS and
Goemboes will be primarily to effect
a joint economic agreement.
1t is Mussolinis idea that such
an agreement will approximate a po-
litical one in effect, inasmuch as he
believes that economic ties are the
strongest.
There was confidence here that
the DullfusS Goemboes Mussolini
conference would bring a specific
agreement that would greatly
strengthen the peace fabric, if for
no other reason than that it would
be calculated to react against Ger
man Nazi enCroachment.
Preliminaries of a three-p er
agreement already have been agreed
to in diplomatic negotiations here,
at Vienna and at Budapest. Hence
the meeting Wednesday. it is felt,
will be certain of success.

sistently good bowling by John Fitz-
gerald of st. Louis today marked
the standings of the initial events

Fitzgerald held first place in the
all-events standings with total OF
1889 as the result of his scores of
634 in the team event, 624 in the
doubles and SCI in the singles.
With Sam Kenny of ST. Louis,
Fitzgerald held the lead in the two
man event with a 1926 Scohre. Roll

George HANBACK, and Pete Lenick

The most stimulating factor about
the three contenders is that all are
fghters-not boxers. All are young,
devil-may-care, smashing sluggers.
This indicates that the next title
about will be a good old waterfront
brawl-unscientif1c perhaps, but bat
tering and bloody When heavy
weight title engagements reach the
braWl stage; when they resemble
somewhat the Dempsey-Firpo en-
counter, it is very healthy sign.
Make Baer, the handsome young
Californian, got to Max Schmeling
first. Since then, the publicity he
received from his movies, vaude-
vile turns and love suits built him
into the greatest attraction as a
contender. A Carnera-Baer match
would be natural"
Accordingly, Madison Square Gar
den will make the supreme effort
this week to match Baer for June
title bout. Make and his manager,
Ancil Hoffman, are expected in
town Wednesday or Thursday 1t
is understood the Garden, trying
to redeem itself in the eyes Of the
public after the recent Miami
fasco, is ready to offer Baer enough
money to take care of the cut he
wants to give Jack Dempsey This
has been a stumbling block in
previous negotiations.
The Garden also is trying to
match Hamas, the former Penn
State grid star who beat Schmeling
so impressively at Philadelphia,
with Neusel Of Germany, who won
a ten-round decision over King Lee
whisky of Chicago Friday night.
Jimmy Johnston would like to stage
this bout March IS. but is having
difficulties with Hamas' manager,
the willy Charley Harvey. Mr.
Harvey is cunning for a bout with
Baer or Camera.
In case the Neusel-Hamas nego-
tiations fail, Neusel may be
matched with Tommy Lcughran on
the twenty-third. Loughran may
not be willing to fight because his
father died Yesterday.

AS for Backboard's tumble at
picking emit couldn't have been
much more complete had he made
his selections on the basis of school
colors which caught his fancy,
rather than past performances of
the contenders. Six out of sixteen!
And the fact that there's plenty of
company in the lifeboat isn't much
relief.
One thing heartens him, however,
in the dreary contemplation of the
Week-end's tempest. Tech still is
in the Hst-and the long string of
upsets serves only to strengthen his
conviction that the Big Green will
come in with the first state crown
ever to rest on an indianapolis con-
tender.
Techs performance at Anderson
was similar to the Big Green's
showing in the sectional here a
week earlier. Against Plainfeld
Saturday afternoon, as against
Shortridge, Tech couldn't get going.
Johnny Townsend saved the day
for the east siders Saturday just as
Otha Dobbs and Harwood Hair res
cued it in the tilt with the Blue
Devils.
But very much like they worked
against Southport in the sectional
final battle, Techs netmen func-
toned in the Anderson fray Satur-
day night, and the outcome was
never in doubt.
So far this system of Techs has
been good but it won't last through
the state finals. It's possible that
the east siders could loaf through
the initial fracas with Batesville,
but in the succeeding games they'd
best be on their toes. And, while
We think Of ibid you know that
Tim Campbells brother, Spud,
coaches the Hammond quintet,
which probably will be Techs OPP
ponent in the Saturday morning

GONE one dropped around to-

terial for reflection. 1t was limited
that Techs biggest handicap in the
state finals might be their romina-
ton by Blackboard to win. Neither of
the two previous conductors of this
column could hit state winners their
first year on the job. but later con-
nected.
But little investigation rather
junked that superstition. Vern
