The committee has told the arrangements committee the western city will make good its promises to have sufficient accommodations, but the meeting Thursday results from a flood of complaints that these have not been forthcoming. Republican authorities said today the convention would be taken to Clev. land if Kansas City did not meet its promises but these authorities added, that the Kansas City people were agreeing to “come through." ——o " hite Girl And Negro Lover Foiled In Attempt To Marry; Both Disappear Rockville, Conn., Feb: 7.—(UP)—A pretty young Rockville girl, claiming to be a descendant of a Mayflower family, and her negro lover today had failed in their first attempt at marriage. but. their whereabouts were unknown.

St, Joe Independents Beat Wonders. 10-8 > The St. Joe Independents defeated the St. Joe Wonders in a basketball game, lineup for the winners was: Hain, Bentz. Meyer, F Hob ble, Odle, J. laise, V. Ile’bble and Fester. The Wonders' lineup was: w. Lose, Ehlnger, Ruppert, Foos, Ulman and Keller. Bentz and Meyer were high point men for the winners, while Ehinger led the Wondets in scoring. Thl-' was the third game of the annual three game* series between the two teams. — o Ifield goals] By MARK M. UPP V- "I - ' ■ ■ =« Bud Voglewede, former Decatur Catholic high school star, proWibly will get a real chance at the center job i n the Notre Dame, quintet now. since Joh# <'olerick, regular center who has lieen leading the Irish in scoring this season, fractured a bone in ode of his wrists in the game against Michigan State last week. Bud and the other substitute centers have had little chance to display their wares so far this season, owing to the twinkling of the star Colerick. Notre Dame plays Wisconsin, at Madison, tonight. We hope Bud gets a chance. Art Miller probably will not got into the Commodores’ lineup against U. C. H. S. here Friday night, due to his injured angle, which he turned in the Anderson• game last week. This will cause Coach Laurent to shift his lineup somewhat. Coach Curtis is having his troubles this week in getting the Yellow Jackets in condition for their man-sized job next week-end which includes games at Elwood and Crawfordsville. Bob Hill, forward, who was sick while playing against Bluffton Friday night, was out of school yesterday and is not in good condition yet. Joe Krick, who failed to get into the Bluffton game on account of sickness, was back in school yesterday, but is still weak and won't be able to do much playing before Thursday. Chet Reynolds, who was out of school a couple of days last week with a severe cold, was sick over the week-end, but was back in school Monday. He, too, is weak. The Kirkland Kangaroos aren't in a very good humor since their defeat at New Haven, Saturday night, and they may be hard to handle when the Commodores meet them in the Kirkland gym, Saturday night. Then, too, the Kangaroos haven't entirely forgotten that little act in the Commodores’ .gym a few weeks ago in which the Commodores were the leading actors, by a vote of 36-27. Miss Ruth Hutchins, captain -end .-.tar forward of the Griffith high school gills’ basketball team, smashed her owfl record of last week and also the world's record of both high school and independent basketball by making sixty field goals for 120 points in a tegular game cf 28 minutes against Merrillville, Saturday n'ght. The final .-core was Griffith, 12(1: Merrivllle 4. Ixrst week, Miss Hutchings scored fifty-three field goals against the Ross team, making it possible for Griffith to win, 115-10. A few more baskets Ruth, and a movie Contract is your’s Doyle Messersmith, a forward on the Francisco high school team, undertook to win a game against the Princeton quintet single-handed, Saturday night. Os course Francisco had four other boys playing, but Doyle has only one arm. He scored eight points for his team, hooking a field g al from near center with a "one-handed' shot over his shoulder, but Princeton won 26-24. ■ Indiana-Purdue Game On Feb. 18 Already A Complete Sell-Out Bdoornington, Feb. 7—(l’P) —All seats for the Indiana-Purdue basketball game here Feb. 18 have been sold L. L. Fisher, ticket manager announced today. He is returning checks from applicants who have asked admission.

In its handling i f the < tse of Dr. Otto I'eltzer of Germany, the fore! 'll relations eommitlee of the Anuitour Athletic Union displayed iiothlur If not incompetem y. The Pellzei nffuir was so simple that It completely Imflled the better minds c,f the A. A. U. Anything obvious would ho likely t > do th it very thing. The A. A. U. suspeeted obsticlen were non existed, and manufactured some to throw in the path of one of the most distinguished athletes who Jias come to this country from abroad Dr. Peltzer Is the holdej- < f the world’s record for the half mile run, and is one of the few runnels who have defeated the famous Paavo Nuripi. As such, he should have been received with acclaim, whereas he was received, as far us t.'ie A. A. U. was concerned, with suspicion. For some time, offichils here were happy, because it seemed that the Ger man athletic authorities were not going to pet mit the German champion to compete in tlie United States. I’ressute was brought to hear, and the Germans aiithotized Dr. Peltzer to make three starts here.

When an athlete of Dr. Ueltzei’-i reputation and nicnmplltdinicnls wishes to compete in this country, our athletic atilb allies should consider themselves flattered and henofilled beyond the limits of petty pdltics. Such seems not Io have been the case, however. No sooner bad lir. peltzer annottne i ed the receipt of a cablegram authorizing bls competition in the United Slates, than the foreign relations c ntmlltee of the A. A. I', bi --an Io t> : ohstleles In his path. Fit st, two tnetnbers of the committee came In frank opposition and declared themselves oppo ;ed to any compel!ti. n whatever on lite pait of the German middle distance runner. Second, after these recalcitrant membets had been over-ruled, the foreign relations eommitlee sent an insulting telegram to Dr. Peltzer, prac-' tically otdering him to enter the A. A. U. 'national Indoor track and field championships, or forefelt all chance of obtaining tlie <• tnmittec's approval. Third, after D:. Peltzer had complied witli the terms of tlie committee's brusque telegram. Dan Farris and his associates left the matter un-

A. controls the appearances of Lloyd Hahn, America' gieatest middle distance' runner. The Bosti n A. A. also invited Dr. Peltzer to run in its annual meet. The Illinois A. ('. bad obtained a lien on Dr. Peltzer's services which precluded the possibility of the l German running in Boston, Moreover, the Illinois A. (’. < aunted upon matching Peltzer against Hahn. \\ ierenpon the B. A. A. said that it w> aid tofiise t > let Hahn run Io Chicago unless Peltzer ran in its meet at Boston. Wlieietlpoli the squawking became loud and general.
