•W—• hi Nurmi Makes Three More World’s Records I'hilaili-lphia, bVb. 17. I’uave Nurmi, world’s greatest runner, made three recorde when he run here lust night for the first tftno ou an indoor track. Nurmi did a mile in 4:35 2-5; the mile and thretj quarters 1n3:17 gT>, ami two miles in 'J: 30 2-5. The time was only fair npainst other records hut it was the first time that the dis. tances had hern contested on an indoor dirt track. Willie Ritola, Nurmi's loading rival, broke Hames Kohlemainen's old record when he ran 3 1-4 miles in l!i:38. The old record was 16:00 3-5. — Field Goals By Mark M. Upp k —' The high school basketball teams have entered the home stretch of the season race now and there is a mighty sprint down the straight away. Several la n ms that started slow have developed great strength now and appear dangerous to the favorites. Lancaster is looking more dangerous each week. Last week end the Lancaster Bob Cats defeated Montpelier and Garrett, both games being played away from home. Garrett fell to the tune of 25*16. Ossian, the other Wells county team to play in the Decatur tourney, has taken a new lease on life, also, and defeated Berne and Bluffton on Friday and Saturday nights respectively. Adams county teams will have to take notice and get down to hard work during the remaining two weeks, if they expect to ward off the Wells county menace. Blnffton fell before Ossian, 21-20 Saturday night, at Ossian. There were a few substitutes in the Bluff ton lineup, however. | We're glad Floyd Collins was found before the basketball tournament started. Now the newspapers can carry a streamer on the tournament. Purdue licked Minnesota last night. Looks like the two Hoosier representatives in the Big Ten were coming into their own. Indiana is holding down third position and Purdue has climbed up into a tie with Michigan for fourth place ( We imagine standing room will be scarce Friday night when Kirkland's green and gold eagers invade the Berne auditorium for their third battle with Coach Diltz's Berne eagers. With each team holding one victory to its i credit at the expense of the other, a battle royal should be I the result of Friday night’s contest. « ■ . The game between Coach Kennedy's Yellow Jackets and the Sturgis. Michigan, quintet here Friday night, should be one of the most interesting games of the season here. It will be the last game of the season for the Yellow Jackets on the home floor before the tourney and the fans can get an idea that night as to how the locals are going to perform In the tourney. The high school athletic association is in need of funds, also, so let’s fill the gym full Friday night. Everybody bring a big bag of pep. too, and we’ll have a big time. On to Huntington, Catholic High. Make it fifteen straight. STURGIS TO PLAY D. H. S.

Indications lire that Coaeh Kennedy's fighting Yellow Jackets will have to play Sturgis without the services of “Christman" Andrews, the regular center, who Is suffering with a severe case of tonrllilis this week He has not been in school this week.! and it is likely that ho will not be' in a ‘Hit Friday night.

In case 1 Andrews is unable to play Friday night, Beal likely will be used ut center. | Sturgis has been going at a fast elip this season anil has captured the championship of southern Michigan. The locals lost at Sturgis last season* and hope to get revenge Friday night. | Principal Walter Krick stated today that the Yellow Jacket, second team | will play a preliminary game, although their opponents have not been secured. The Bluffton Second team may lay the locals, but in event it is impossible for the Bluffton Hopefuls to come for the game, another good team will be secured to meet the local seconds. Qj , FLOY D COLLINS TO BE LEFT IN HIS CAVE TOMB (Continued from Page One) the forces of nature in a vane at-, tempt to save him. By Foster Edgar. <l'. P. Staff Correspondent) Al the Mouth of Sand Cave, Ky..: Feb. 17.—Sand Cave stubbornly refused to yield up her dead. The rocky vice of the cave's treacherous crawlway clings to the body of Floyd Collins in a tenacious embrace of death and the explorer's 1 remains may never be brought up from the underground tomb. This loomed today when the shaft' leading to where Collins is entonJbed became so dangerous that 11. T. Car-1 miehael. who is in.charge of the res-1 | cue forces, said that the men who | try to bring the body tn the surface, are risking their lives. "I have not given up hopes." Carmichael said. “We arc trying to find some method to recover the body.” | A crew of men worked all through the night removing dirt and rock from around Collins with their hands. The body is covered up to the waistline. Brigadier General H. 11. Denhurdt, held a conference with Carmichael, 1 Dr. William Hazlett, Chicago sur- 1 .geon, several local physicians and crew foremen, early today, after Dr Hazlett had made a trip into the shaft. “We will not attempt to remove the body before II a. m.” General D-n hai dt said. | Dr. Hazli-tl said that the openin’. | was not largo enough to attempt to 1 imimlate Collins' leg, which is pin ioned under a boulder. After the conference. Adjutant Gen-1 oral James A. Kehoe telephoned his i oHlce In Frankfort for a finger print! , expert. Collins served in the war, Kehoe I said, and his finger prints are on recI. „
