June 18—A revi -w of the Purdue sports record for the year, ending with the clone of the baseball season shows an average season in the major sports, baseball, basketball, football and track. The same is true in a number of the minor sports, as wrestling and water basketball. There was a decided improvement in fencing, gymnastics, pistol shooting, and water basketball, and a poor season in golf, tennis, swimming and cross-country. About 2.000 men and women or two-thirds , of the student body took part in intramural and inter fraternity sports. In football, the major college sport. Purdue showed an Improvement over' the past few years winning two games! and tieing one. with a los* of five games. The Conference record was one win and four losses. In basketball, a team with a green pair of forwards won twelve and lost five games. Five of the wins were non-Conference. The Big Ten standing was seven wins and five losses, i putting the team in three-cornered tie for second. The team was not up to ( the usual Boilermaker standard, but Spradling, forward topped the Big Ten scores at the end of the season. J In baseball the Boilermakers kept their usual place, just in the first division of the Big Ten with seven wins and four loeaes. An equal division on state games makes the team total ten won and nven lost Fencing and gymnastic teams both placed second in the Big Ten. the ter team going through the season undefeated in dual competitin. Beck won the Conference broad swords j championship in fencing. The It O. T C. pistol shooting team won second in national competition, win ning all dual meets. The track season ended even, with two meds won and inside and two lost and one won outdoors. The croea-country placed third in the state, losing two races and winning one. This Is ordinarily one of the strong sports for Purdue. In wrestling the Boilermakers mat men won four meets, lost two and tied one. Green teams In tennis swimming, and golf failed to register Conference victories. The tennis squad won from Wattash and tied DePauw in state' competition, while the swimming team won from the Hoosier A. C. The golf team did not play any but Mr Ten teams.

Wilson, of New York, will preside at the Indiana conference of, the Methodist Episcopal church to be held in Indianapolis at the East Tenth , Street M. E. church, September 10. The following week he will preside at the Northwest Indiana conference at Clinton. Bishop Frederick D. Leete, who presides over the Indianapolis area of the M. E. church, will have charge of all details leading up to - the conference. On the same date ] as the Indiana conference he will t preside at an Ohio conference, to be i held at Ironton. All ministerial ap- ? pointments and those of district superintendents will be made by the presiding bishops. When bishops were first elected by the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, it was considered a part of their duty to travel into other areas to preside at times in order that they might obtain more universal and broader viewpoint of Methodist affairs, an Indianapolis minister explained today. In later years their duties became purely administrative and their activities confined chiefly to their own areas. It again lias been deemed wise to have an interchange of bishops, and action was taken at the last general conference to that effect. Bishop Thomas Nicholson, w ho was transferred from the Chicago area to that of Detroit conference. September 3; at Jackson. Mich.. September 10. and at Saginaw. September 17. Bishpp Theodore S. Henderson, who was changed from the Detroit hrea to Cincinnati, will have charge of the Cleveland conference. September 3; of another Ohio conference at Coshocton.

These four delegations, if they agree to combine on u candidate, probably wilt decide the nomination. Everyone, for the moment, is watch-' ing McAdoo. If lie moves to abolish’ the two-thirds convention rule, and he probably could succeed, because he will have more than a majority ot the rules committee membership—he will precipitate a fight that manyj believe would ruin his chances for' nomination, or election it nominated, 'senator Thomas Wal-h of Montana, leader in the senate oil probe and outspoken supporter of McAdoo for the nomination, has been selected by the national committee as permanent chairman of th- convention,'subject Ito approval of the convention.
