3 State Elves
Survive First
Olympic Play
Central Normal to Lead
Invasion of Chicago;
Butler Loses.
BY HARRISON MILLER

Unless the last of multitude of
disappointments come tumbling
down upon the heads of committee
members fostering the Fifth Dis
trict Olympic basketball tourna-
ment before next Thursday, the
meet will be held in the 1920 Regi-
ment Armory in Chicago with three
Hoosier colleges competing.
Central Normal, Ball State and
Indiana State survived the test
games at Butler University Satur-
day night, but the host Bulldogs
again were victims of the "one-
point under" complex and bowed
to Augustana College of Rock
Island, Ill, Al to 40. This quartet
is to vie with Northwestern and De-
Paul of Chicago for the somewhat
doubtful honor of representing the
Midwest against the winner of the
Sixth District The survivor of that
playof is scheduled to compete in
Madison Square Garden to choose
the United States representative at
Berlin.
Central Normal Outstanding
Shorn of all it's prestige by the
withdrawal of Notre Dame, Indi-
ana and Purdue, the tournament is
to continue with the lesser lights
competing this week. Hence, this
great Hoosier territory, acknowl-
edged afar as the soil most pro-
ductive of Grade A basketball, pre-
sents a substrata of colleges as it's
exhibits in the Olympic exposition.
The territory embraced by the
Fifth District is to be represented

Relays Draw
Ace Hurdler
World Record Holder to Run
in Track Carnival
at Butler.

Forrest TONNES, one of the ma
tons fastest timber toppers," will
join the parade of champions in the
Butler indoor relays March 81, &C
cording to latest announcements by
Coach Hermon Phillips, director of
the fourth annual track carnival.
TONNES, lanky hurdler from the
University of Georgia, turned in a
new world indoor record in the 60
yard high hurdle event when he
scaled the obstacles in 7.3 seconds
at the New York A. G. meet at Mad
ison Square Garden two weeks ago.
His achievement ranks him with
Sam Allen, Oklahoma ace, who is
recognized as the best Olympic
prospect in the hurdle division.
In communicating with Phillips,
H. j. Stegeman, athletic director
and track coach at Georgia, stated
that he was anxious to pit Tow1es
against the fast field which will ap-
pear at the Butler event.
The fieldhouse is considered fer
tile soil for new records, since two
world marks were established on
the springy sand loan track in 1884.
Kenneth Sandback of Purdue set
the existing record of TIC in the
high hurdles, and Heye Lambertus
registered an international mark in
the low timber event.
The foremost talent of the Big
Ten and other collegiate conferences
again will appear to provide COM
petition keen enough to tumble the
old records. Dan Caldemeyer of
Indiana, Mike Layden Of Notre
Dame and Larry Holmes of Butler
have approached world marks at the
assorted distances of hurdle events.
Penn State, which will appear in
the colorful indoor event for the
first time, was the first school to
file entry last week. Two Kalama-
ZOO entries-Western State Teachers
and Kalamazoo College-also have
registered athletes at the Fairview
fieldhOuse.

CELDOM. in basketball has the
~ courage of Purdue been tied.
That comeback at Ann Arbor Sat-
urday night was a whiZ. The Boiler
makers had to win to catch up
with Indiana to share the Big Ten
title. And shortly after the second
half started Purdue was trailing by
Is points! Yet the Lambertmen re-
fused to wilt and by staging one OF
the greatest rallies on record they
caught the Wolverines with seven
minutes to go and won, 1887.

Indiana Is to celebrate its co-title
tonight at a banquet in Blooming
ton. Nine rahs for Indiana. Nine
rahs for Purdue! The HOOsier
Twins dominated the fastest basket
ball circuit in the country this sea-
son and their fame spread all over
the nation. Coaches, players and
fans everywhere kept close tab on
the Hoosier fives as they roared
down the stretch.
Murray Murdoch, veteran star of
the New York Rangers, is the iron
man of hockey. He has played in
$50 consecutive games of the tough
sport. Veterans believe his feat is
comparable to Lou Gehrig's string
of 1853 American League baseball
games.

Purdue's 38-to-37 win over Michi-
gan gave it a share of the title
which Indiana previously had
cinched. 1t was Purdue's third
straight championship, and ninth in
II years. Indiana is at the top for
the first time since 1928.
Each team was defeated once dur
ing the race-Indiana by Ohio State
and Purdue by Northwestern. Pur-
due narrowly escaped second loss
when Michigan forged to 19-to-6
lead early in Saturday nights game
and held the margin to the end of
the half.
Kessler Gets Hot
Kessler led the second-half drive
that won the title, running his sea-
son total to 100 points. His IA points
put him nine points ahead of Bill
HARLOW, Chicago captain, who nm
ished in second place.
HARLOW scored Is points against
Northwestern in the only ether con-
ference game. That gave HARLOW
4i6 points for his three years of Big
Ten competition, which is 10 points
better than the previous three-year
record which Stretch" Murphy of
Purdue rung up in 1880.

Northwestern, highest-s orin g
team of the season, barely nosed
out Chicago in the season final, "a
