Th* astounding confidence of the nturdy Finn, who baa never run on boards in competition before, was shown when ho a’ked officials of the t.mirteiir athletic union to time him for 1.5t)0 meters in tin- mile race and for three miles in the 6.000 meters race. Nurmi believes that he can make four new mark* against the best dis tatice runners that the United States can offer as his rivals. His ambition j particularly is to fake away from Joie Ray, the record of 4:01 3-5 for . 1,500 meters; 4:14 t!-5 for a mile and 14:54 3-5 for 5,000 metres. In the mile race, scheduled to start about 8:5o. Nurmi will be opposed by Joie Ray. Jimmy Connelly. Lloyd, Hahn. Walter Higgins, Leo I<arivee and Leevendahl, another young Finn In the 5,000 metres race, set for d0:30, the outstanding rivals of the ■'flying Finn," will be Willtc Ritels, Verne Booth.

The Leaders will be forced to battle the Bluffton Bill Dells tonight minus the services of that faithful., reliable and sturdy "Bill" Crist at backguurd. Bill left this morning for South Bend to take a three weeks',, course in the Studebaker automobile' school. He will not be with the Lead-i‘ ers for the next three weeks. In his | absence Manager Yager likely will i, have one of the Clark brothers from Berne in the lineup. lowa stands at the top of the Big Ten heap this morning. The Hawkeyes have one victory and no defeats to their credit, after downing the Minnesota Gophers last night, 27-19 ' in the only Conference game played so far. The Purdue Boilermakers tackle the Hawkeyes Friday night and the standing may be changed after that. ' I Can anyone cnlightlng Just Court- ' in, of Wabash on the following sole Ject? "It's an unsolved question hero ' this si-ason. why Wabash, with as good a bunch of players as any high school in the state, with as good a , coach as any team boasts, and with nothing to hamper them but a few |>oor facilities, does not win games.” Although a few days late, we hereby express our appreciation of the school authorities action in supplying new figures for those that were missing on the score board at the H. S. gym. Cathedral High of Indianapolis invades this city Friday night to do battle With Catholic High. Coach Confer is driving the wearers of the gieen hard this week in preparation for the game. The locals have a record of seven straight victories and no defeats this season and "they will lie out to make it eight straight Friday night. But that is not the only incentive to urge the locals on to victory. The using of the 33-0 defeat at the hands of the Capital City boys i.t football last fall is still irritating the Catholic high boys and revenge on the hardwood is the only remedy. We believe they ran turn the trick. fanny fanette says that SHE'S GOING TO CUT DOWN ON THE AMOUNT OF LIPSTICK ANDI OTHER COSMETICS SHE USES I AFTER NEXT WEEK AND BEGIN TO SAVE MONEY FOR Tito' SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT. The Yellow Jackets will retire to, the Garrett Friday night to carry on , their caging activities. “■ 0 Chicago—Mel Kerr, semi-pro basehall player from up in Saskatoon anada has been signed by the Cubs.
