In addition to the annual International 500-mile race held over the historic course each May 30 there will be in September a 24-hour contest for >15,000 for vehicles powered with oil burning motors. This announcement has been made by Carl G. Fisher and James A. Allisoh, two of the owners of the Indianapolis track, who are spending the winter months in the land of sunshine. The entire Indianapolis racing plant will be illuminated for the night contest and an exposition of all oil burning appliances will be held in the in fled of the track throughout the con test. The object of the event, the owners of the Indianapois track which has been the laboratroy of the motor car industry, announce, is to effect progressive development by competition of the oil burning motor which, if perfected, will revolutionize all types -of-* motor power propelled vehicles on roads, rails , waer or in the air. < It 14 the first event of its kind ever to be held and is to be an annual fixture ln‘ the calendar of the Indianapolis speedway. General specifications for the unusual event follow: -The -motors must

be operated on a commercial grade of fuel oil and must be equipped with self starter, gear boxes permitting reverse, neutral and at least three forward speeds; ignition systems will be permitted only for the purpose of starting the motor; the maximum weight must not exceed 10,000 pounds; the wheel base and tread must comply with legal state and highway requirements; pueumantic tires must be used in the contest and vehicles must be equipped with brakes; the motor must be mechanically lubricated but there are no limitations on the number of cylinders or on the size of the bore and stroke of the motor. The Indianapolis Motor Speedwaymanagement is now accepting entries for the event and issuing invitations to motor builders throughout the world. It is expected there will be an unusually large entry list for the competition, international in character, since it is known that more important manufacturers of gasoline motors have been conducting exhaustive experiments in power plants burning commercial fuel oil, Ignited without electrical applicances.

FIELD, GOALS Vk y/ J By SB MarkM.Upp The Catholic high school Commodores have changed the calendar to suit themselves and are enjoying a vacation ..as week instead of la-t — that is as far as basketball is concerned. The Comodores have no games on their schedule this week and Coach Confer has decreed that a little lay off will do the boys good. Last week while many teams were taking a rest the Commodores played Central Catholic of Fort Wayne. The Decatur high school Yellow Jackets are working hard this week in preparation for the invasion of the Kangaroos and Gorillas. The first team is scheduled to meet the Kirkland Kangaroos and the reserves to play the Hartford Gorrillas Friday night. Coach Curtis likely will use the first team substitutes in the game against the Gorillas in order to make things interesting for the Hartford township boys, who have been going good this season. The Berne Fighting Five has a stiff battle slated for Saturday night, when it journeys to Lancaster to play the Bob Cats. The Lancaster crew has been gaining strength steadily this season and at present is just about as good as any in Wells county, unless it is the Bluffton Tigers.

The Monroe quintet has had a long rest since its last game and the members of the team should have plenty of pep for their game with Jefferson, in the old gym here Friday night. The Jeff boys have chalked up four straight victories since they last tasted of defeat and they will be plenty hard for the Everhart crew to halt. Pleasant Mills has an open -late for this week-end. “ .t’.ve v.<.- ■ ... .<..i*. ill again i acklt? irife* Huri*-' ford Gorillas, at Berne, Saturday night. Two weeks ago, the Gorrilla> licked the boys from the Limberlost, 37-17. Monmouth didn’t fare so well in an invasion of New Haves a few weeks ago, but the Root township boys will be a little harder for the Allen county boys to subdue when the two teams meet in the old gym here, Friday night. The supply of Bedford limestone around Bloomington must be almost exhausted, since the Bloomington basketball team has imported the Victory Brick from Vincennes. Better get rid of that brick, George, or someone will be accusing you of not supporting home industries. Cash Keller has included the Yellow Jackets in his seventh Big Ten of the season, published in the Huntington Press, Tuesday. Cash has shortened his list of honorable mentions, also, thus making the honor accorded the Yellow Jackets even greater. Mar ion’s stock dropped several points in Cash’s rating, following the Giants’ defeats by Vincennes and Kokomo, hut the state champs are still in the first ten. The Yellow Jackets knocked the Bluffton Tigers out of Cash’s honorable mention list, foo. Now you make the rest of the criticisms: SEVENTH BIG TEN

Another train following on the same track would receive the signal its reception automatically reducing the speed as long as the radio warning continued. o Dominions Must Act On King's Title Change

London (United Press). —Although the Imperial Conference concluded that the King must have a new title, it will probably be many months before the change becomes legal. The King’s title cannot be changed except by act of parliament, but in this case an act of Ihe British Parliament will not be sufficient. An identical act must be passed by the parliament of every dominion and of the Irish Free State, before the new title can become effective. . ■ ....„ Klug of iiie I’uif•WKangaonTol 'Great Britain and Ireland and of the British Dominions Beyond the S. . He is to be the King of Grea,t: Britain, Ireland, and the British Dominions Beyond the Seas.

Hy drogen May Be Fuel Os Airplanes In Future Washington, Jan. s—(United Press —The use of hydrogen as fuel for airships was recently the subject of experiments conducted by the engineering laboratories of Manchester University, England, the Department <4 Commerce announced today. A series of trials with a solid-in-jection fuel engine were made to ascertain the effects of the admission ot hydrogen during the suction stroke and it is stated the engine ran more smoothly when hydrogen, released as the oil fuel was consumed, was being used. It is possible that in the near futur hydrogen, until now wasted, will be utilized to replace a portion of the oil fuel supply, thus cutting down the cost of operation of airships. o Dance Saturday night at K. of C. hall.
