INDIANA AND PURDUE WIN Crimson Down lowa, 49-39; Boilermakers Trip Minnesota, 45-27 Chicago. Feb 28—UNS' -With the Dig Ten basketball race running true to form. Indiana and Purdue wore still in first place today following respective victories last night over lowa and Minnesota. Wisconsin had shared the top-rung tie with the two Hoosier teams, but was temporarily forced into second place through idleness. Indiana kept) in the thinning by beating the Hawkeyes, 49 to 39. on the latter's home floor. Meanwhile, over at I-afayette Purue was swamp log the ill-fated Gophers, 45 to 27. A third conference game was played last night, but its result has little or no beating on the championship fight, unless to emphasize the strength of Michigan, a team that may yet wreck the hopes of Purdue or Indiana. In this game, played at Columbus, the Wolverines trounced the lowly Buckeyes, 45 to 39, Chicago and Northwestern will stage the second chapter of their local feud in a game at Evanston tonight. Doth tire hopelessly out of the conference race, but they will light hard for local prestige. —-— 1 ■ O— * - 1 ■ Village Os 5,000 Slipping Into V alley I’P Staff Correspondent Jerome, Ariz.— (I’P)—Built over a giant earth fault, this Arizona town of some 5,000 inhabitants is slowly slipping into the valleys surrounding the world's rieb//«t copper mine. Jerome is peojied on the side of :i huge ore-laden -hill, 35 miles from Prescott. The business buildings and the workers' houses cling tenaciously to the slope. Main street is a mountain road circling the hill. Some time ago a pronounced Klip was noticed. Crevices appeare din office buildings; streets buckled and rose. Then a church toppled down. The roof fell, the walls tumbled and the floor caved in. Fortunately, no worshippers were caught in the crash, as services had been discontinued when the slow working menace first appeared. \ The Verde Copper company, whose copper catacombs make the town possible, brought in geologists and engineers to study the problem. They found a huge earth fault cut diagonally across the town. Th- fault stret hed below a number of important buildings, including the church which had collapsed. The town hospital, it was discovered, was partly over the fault, endangering the lives of patients in that section of the building. The copper company ordered the menaced portion of the hospital wrecked, the remainder was left whole and was used for other purposes. A new hospital was built. Ten or more ’downtown buildings and residences have been officially condemned. Others are menaced. Visitors plainly see the jagged irregular cracks in the brick and concrete office structures, and the ominous bulge in walls and street. The natives themselves, however, like the happy-hearted Italian villagers living near Vesuvius, give scarcely a thought to the ever-present peril. Nevertheless, Jerome eventually must move. It may be a year, it may be live, but sooner or later the yawning hole beneath will swallow up the town. Publicly geologists minimize the danger. They are unwilling to alarm the residents needlessly. Secretly, however, they admit that the town site is hopeless and that some day the workers and business men must move to another hillside or down Into the sheltered security of Deception Gulch. Menn' bile, a slight earth tremor or a heavy fall or rain may bring on a catastrophe that would rock the world. 0 Musician Fined For Violating Blue. Law Winchester, Ind., Fell 28 — (U.R) — Oris lloielocker, of Piqua 0., a musician is the first person ever to be fined in Randolph county on a charge of violating an Indiana blue law which provides punishment for a person who provides music for a dance on Sunday.

Thole with 12 points, was hig point man for Memorial. In other words, it looks like tl Commodores would have a tough ni to crack in the opening round of th tourney. "It is very likely that there will b only one team from a state, with th exception of New York and Illinois says a bulletin from Loyola Unive sity Chicago regarding the nations Catholic ournament. In New York an Illinois, there will be one team fror New Y rk City, one from New Yorl state, one from Chicago and one fror the state of Illinois at large. It is up to the Commodores to wi the state Catholic tourney if they e: pact to enter the National Cathol meet again this year. Can they do it We think so.

One half of the proceeds will be divided equally among the participating school and the other half will be divided on the basis of the number of season tickets sold by each school. Single ses sion ticket holders will not be admitted to the gym until the start of each session.

The Jefferaon-MonmouXh and Ge-neva-Monroe games scheduled to open the tourney on Friday night promise to be closely contested battles. Then on Saturday forenon, Hartford play Decatur and Kirkland tangles with Herne—two more red hot battles. In the afternoon, the semi-finals promise to be just as' closely contested and every one will want to see the finals. Saturday night. Peruvian Passes, of the Peru Daily Tribune, has it all doped out as follows why the Tigers lost to Broad Rippie, Saturday night: 11) The boys had to ride about a mile from the dressing room to the playing floor. (2) The playing floor was a dance* floor, so slick the Peru players, unused to such smoothness, could hardly keep their feet. (3) The rafters were low, prohibiting arched shots. (4) the Tigs didn’t play their game o f basketball up to standard, which was our own tough luck. Joe Krick worked out with the Yellow Jackets yesterday afternoon. He said his knee seemed a little weak but he was able to get around over the floor tn pretty good shape. There is still a lltle ache in the injured joint
