INEIANAWINS I INDOOR MEET Evanston, 111., Feb. 28 —(U.R) — Indiana's track team became a prominent contender for the Big Ten indoor championship at Madi--1 son next week by winning the quadrangular meet witli Minnesota Northwestern and Purdue here last night. ■ The Hoosiers piled up 50% points with first places in six of the nine ev.mts. Minnesota wae second with 29 points, Northwestern tliird with 23*4 and Purdue ; fourth with 16%. Jim Hatfield, Indiana's crack hurdler, was high point man with first place in both the low and high hurdles for ten points. Betty Robinson. Olympic 100i metre achmpion and Northwestern . co-ed. ran an exhibition 220-yard lasli in 27 seconds, considered good time on the slow, two-turn track.

(By Pete Reynolds) The Yellow Jackets came througn last night to beat Kendallville and .inish the season with a.i undefeated record for conference champion-! ship play. This is two consecutive I years Decatur has been undefeated; 'and sets a real record for other teams in the conference to strive! for. —oOo — It was a funny ball game. Neither 'team was playing the basketball it! iis capable of playing although the Yellow Jackets did present a strong ; defense. The game was rough and ragged, with inconsistent officiating marring the contest. —oOo — The feature of the game was the vneanny foul shooting of F. Henry. Kendallville forward. Ten free nows out of twelve attempts. That boy m st really have iron nerves to hit a percentage like that in the type of game played last night. —oOo — Prospects for teams in future ’years don’t look so bad for the Yel-' ’low Jackets. A team composed en-1 tirelv of freshmen handed the Kendallville seconds a 25 to 22 defeat! in the preliminary last night. And i they looked plenty good doing it. —oOo — That was a tough break for the Commodores, losing the first game of the state tourney yesterday afternoon. From reports given us by | Decatur fans who attended the ’ game, the Commodores failed to dis- ' play the form they had reached in the final games of the regular sea - son. —oOo — Carl Lose, regular Commodore guard, suffered a wrenched back during a scrimmage under the Decatur basket yesterday afternoon. Understand Carl was still walking with the aid of a cane last night. General opinion of the Decatur fans who attended the tourney is

that either Washington or Cathedral of Indianapolis will win the tourney. These teams are doped to meet in the final game tonight. —oOo— Muncie barely nosed out South Side <»f Fort Wayne last night. Looks like the tc ms in this corner of the state are not so far behind the so-called favorites in the state this year despite refusal of sport writers down south to give any credit to Decatur Bluflton Huntington et al. - -oOo — The Frankfort Hot Dogs snapped out of it last night to give the Logansport Berries a good trimming - to 12. Red Thompson returned to the game after being out the past two weeks because of injuries. —oOo— The Commodores had another tough break at Indianapolis. All the sweat shirts belonging to the team were stolen Thursday night. The shirts were in Rev. Hennes' suit case and were taken from in front of the Antlers Chib. —oOo — Had a mob ia here this morning waiting for the Decatur sectional drawing. Jpst one week from tonight and the contestants for the

Indiana state basketball championship will be cut way down to 64 teams. KIRKLAND WINS FINAL BATTLE The Kirkland Kangaroos won their final game last at Os- ! sian. defeating the Ossian Bears, 127 to 24. Kirkland piled up a good ilead in the first half. 16 to 6, but Ossian rallied in the second half and nearly pulled the game out of the fire. Ossian scored five baskets on long shots in the last four ' minutes. Beefy. Kirkland forward, was the ' outstanding star with five field I goals and five free throws. Th 1 Kangaroos connected on nine out !of ten free throws. Scoring on the Ossian team was evenly divided. The Kirkland seconds won the pre- ! liminary game, 29 to 15.

PETSOLIE IS FIGHT WINNER New York, Feb. 28. (U.R) TinIntegrity of the ancient sport of , boxing was on trial again in New,; York today. This was so because Billy I'etrolle of Furgo, N. D. had ( been credited with a knockout. over his ancient rival. Henry Row land Tuttle of Minneapolis, who: adopted the ling name of King Tut. ' The end of the fight came in the; Harden last night after 2 minute i, | land 9 seconds of the fourth round.] |lhe knockout. If It was one, was as suspicious looking as were the, events that led up too it. indeed. 1 so peculiar were Tuttle's ring tu tics that John J. Phelan. New York state boxing commissioner, an d j J’ert Stand, executive secretary of the commission, ordered the purse; lof both boxers held up. | To complicate matters further. 1 I Tut was in Polyclinic hospital where he was being investigated j I against a possible appendectomy. ; A crowd of 15,000, the largest attendance at Madison Square; Carden in months, had turned on' ■ for what had promised to lie a, grand scrap. The customers were I attracted because of the tecent 24-, second knockout scored by Tut ’ over Petrolic. Last night's bout marked the | sixth meeting of Petrolle and Tut . and Petrolle is credited witli three] victories, the first two and thC| sixth. Tut got off to a great start last night. He won the first round with 1 i ease, rocking Petrolle several, times with wild rights swung from' tlie floor. In the second round,] however, the tide turned toward! Petrolle. He scored a feather-j 'weight tap on the chin and Tut. latter a moment's hesitation drop- 1 ped to a knee for a nine count. | The fight will be gone over with one of those commission fine combs’ at its next meeting on Tuesday. If. it develops that Tut is ill with appendicitis the situation will be somewhat less tense. A cursory 'examination made by Dr. William Walker, the commission physician, failed to disclose any evidence of
