Wemhoff has been confined to hi* home since lust Monday with' a severe coll and ton-illtiH. The, attending phy I. lan stated today ' however that his condition was greatly improved and that unless he suffered a set-back, he would be in tin To: in Monday night. The Commodores have been drill j ing each day in preparation for the naLona! tourney, an 1 thus ■ who : have watched the practice sessions | say the local team looks better, til an ia mid sea-on. - The first round drawings will b<* | made Sunday and will be broad-: cast over ail important Chicago | radio stations.

CH AMPION S TO DEFEND TITLES Champaign. 111., March 15 —(U.R) — Out of the east, middle west, and southwest came today 900 athletes, comprising as classy a fi< Ul as ever entered the event, toi compete in the Illinois relays, the most important of the indoor track and field meets. So exceptional was the entry list that observers predicted that before -the event is over several of the present champions wi 1 have been dethroned and new records established in many events. The one oustanding man who appears certain to repeat is Barney Berlingen Pennslyvania’s great all around man who last year set an Illinois record, by scoring 6.070 points out of a possible 7.000 to win the all around championship, a

But contrasting to Berllnger’s ■ chance of repeating la the opportunity offered to George Simpson, tho great Ohio State sprinter, ; Simpson must face such men us Eddie Tolan, the Michigan negro; Meier of lowa State and Haas of i Minnesota. In tlie hurdles, Dick Rockaway of Ohio State, one <>f the country's best last year, will be facing such men us Haydon, Chicago; launson, i Nebraska; Hager, lowa State, and Sentman of Illinois. Tlie pole vault figures to bo n three-cornered battle between Tom W..rne, Northwestern; Henry Canby, Iowa; und Verne McDermont j of Illinois. Orval Martin, the great Purdue , middle distance man, figures Io j win in his events as does Edward Cordon of lowa who can cover approximately 24 feet in the broad ' Jump. Bert Nelson of Butler, took a, commanding position in the high jump for the year when he leaped six feet, six and three-fourths inches recently. He is favored to win here. - - The same favoritism applies to •Jim Bausch of Kansas, who put the shot 48 feet, 7 inches last week-end to win the big six event Bausch will be opposed, however, by men like Behr of Wisconsin. Poorman of Michigan; Weaver of Chicago; and Vossler of Miami, all of whom are capable of winning. i In the h'gli hurdles shuttle relay —one of the seven events on the relay program — Nebraska is expected to put in a strong bid to retain the title it won last year.

STARTS SPEED i RECORD EFFORT

Daytona li nch. ITa.. Mar. 15. , U.r: Today marked the ofl'lci il !opening of tho 15 day period sot for the assault by Kaye Don of I England upon the world's automobile speed record of 23d miles 1 per hour. The lain, conditions i|f Hie course und lack of preEmnary breaking ;in pf Don'e 31-foot, 4,OUU horse I power Juggernaut probably will i postpone until mid-week any serious attempt ut record smashing. It was doubtful today that Don would us much as take his car, | christened yesterday the "Silver Bullet." to the beach this after noon. The tidal action und r the J prevailing winds of the last few days lias kneaded the beach tn spots into a lumpy surface, instead of the hard, level one necessity to. such tremendous speeds as Don 1 expects to attain. The car never has run under ts i own power. Its two motors, each a 12 cylinder ufT rr. developing 2, 00.0. ho.rsp ?i.ar** in I seme condtiion as any other motors which never have been broken in. A period of pieliminary running at reduced speeds will be required before Don can seriously hope to click off a mile in 15 second: which is, with the fractons let out, what hs must do to set a new record. The gen -ral belief here was that it would be a week before Dm would literally take his life in hithands and try to ride his motorpropelled projectile faster than any human being ever has travelled on land. However, the official trappings for the trials are in order for Don to make his attempt whenever he sets fit. The electrical tim ng device which splits milts into fractions of one-thousandths has been -.ssetnhled. To insure accuracy, ■the timing system is installed in duplicate. It is entirely median •cal. tlie human element - entering at no time'and the tnachTies turn-* 'ng out the figures w th a complett record for furture reference of th- - < s th y went through while arriving at the result. Policing of the course lias been turned over to the locad company of the National guard and to local police. When the trials are on no one will l>e allowed nearer tlie beach than 12 feet back of the'edge of the embankment which overhangs it.

In the other morning games toi day Connersville defeated Delphi; Muncie trimmed luiPorte und Franklin disposed of Anderson. Washington and Frankfort are the favorites to go to the finals, but fans and sports writers give both Muncie and Connersville good chances to upset the dope. AT of the games have been marked by fast playing and great rallies by favorites to overcome I leads which dark horses piled, up early in the game. Pre-tournanient wrangling over] the allegedly unfair method of ■ticket distribution and the alleged j favoritism toward some coaches' and schools becau-e they found; out the schedules Ivefore release date were forgotten as the 16' teams battled away for supremacy. The entire tournament this year] has been marked by closeness of, scores. Teams have been evenly matched and tlie crowd has cheer-' ed wildly ever since the operiing minute of the first game. At 9 o'clock tonight the state champions will receive their title and the Jake Girnble award will l>e presented, dosing Indiana high school basketball activities for the season of 1929-30. Indianapolis. March 15.— TJ.R) — Eight survive s of fust-round games in the 19th annual .state high school basketball tournament went into the Dutler fieldhouse court today in precisely the order hat had been predicted by m >st sports observers. Few of these observers, however. Tad the temerity to suppose that he tournament was going to continue to the final gong tonight. in such well-regulated fashion. Sone rs the vx-toiw had narrow oscapes—but v h itev<*r it took at he crit cal time they had. and or.e v..s forcod to overtime to iemonstrate that superiority. Surprises in the first round were nun <1 to the margins of victory, xcept for that considerable sprink'iug of fans which had expected .Ta.tinsvllle to defeat Washington, n general Salem hadn't been figurd to give Connersville as close a tame as was played. Goshen waegged by few as a team wb uh vould throw such a scare into luncle. an 1 Greencastle was far from the pubi c reckoning, in its sensational*contest with Anderson. Nevertheless the favorites cam h ough, and there remained the bllowit’g terms today: Washing ton, Franklin, Delphi. Connersville. I aporte. Muncie, Frankfort, \nde: son. Wa h ngton and Franklin met •t 8:30 th s morning, Delph and Connetsville at 9 30, Laporte and Muncie-at 10:30, and Franklin and Anderson at 11:30. Victors in the first two games were to meet at 2:33 th s afternoon. and in the last two morning contests, at 3:30, with the final game scheduled for 8 p. in. o Government Rests Case Washington, March 15 —(U.R) — | The government rested its case' today in the bribery trial of Edward L. Doheny. Brief testimony from three witnesses and the Introduction of various letters and documents and the Elk Hills naval reserve lease which the government contends was obtained through the bribery of Albert B. E’all completed the government's case. John Edwards of San Francisco, secretary of the Associated Oil company, testified that his concern I would have been glad to have been given the chance to drill in the Elk Hills naval reserve. ——, -o Mr. and Mrs. France Conter left today for Indianapolis where they) will be the guests of friends a id| relatives for the week-end. i
