During the three week-ends, 755 nines will be played in selection of the' 11131 championship team, with six schools more entered this year than in 1930. Washington .however, is not considered generally as a strong bidder to retain the title an iflier year, although It is to he expected the southerrf Indiana team will extend its greatest effort in defending the net crown. Muncie was runner tip in the tinals last year, losing to Washington in a 32 to 21 game after leading by two points at the half. Muncie has been nominated by one Indianapolis sports writer as a favorite to win this year, and another Indianapolis authority has picked Frankfort. Several other teams have been suggested as having substantial chances for final victory. All tournament games will be played in quarters of S minutes instead of 15 minute halves, as last year. Another change was mule by a ruling permitting a school to enter a team of 10 players in sectional contests, as well as in regional and final rounds. Heretofore-, only eight men were entered in sectional play, and 10 in region al and final. The tournaments are held by the Indiana High School Athletic Association. a membership of state public high schools that is recognized by the state government. The association maintains offices in Indianapolis under the direction of Commissioner Arthur L. Trester. In several Indiana cities, th- - will be radio broadcast play-by-play.

CARNERABEATS JIMMY MALONEY Miami. Fla., March 6. (U.R) Primo Camera. Italy's biggest gin to the boxing business, still was in the heavyweight championship picture today as a result of his ten-round dec’sion over Jimmy Maloney, second-rate Boston veto: an, at the Madison Square Garden 1 arena heie last night. Judging by the boos which greet ed Referee Elmer "Slim" McCbd ] land’s decision, Camera never l would have received the verdict had the spectators (all 18,000 of them) been allowed to vote. The big Italian was jeered from the minutes the fight was over until he disappeared from view in his dressing room. Maloney, however, was cheered vociferously, and was borne to his dressing room on ad-i miters' shoulders. Many cf those around the ring side were of the opinion that McClelland was unduly influenced by Camera's strong finish. The Italian. after a sluggish start, won the last three rounds. In the eighth frame he smacked Maloney witli two resounding rights to the jaw., the most effective punches of the, fight. In the ninth and tenth he drove Maloney to tile ropes and got in several hard cracks to the chin. o GOVERNMENT IS CHANGED AGAIN CONTINUED FROM PACE ONr. tillo had reinstated officials of the old Leguia regime in northern Peru. It was against President Augusto B. Leguia that Sanchez Cerro led a successful revolt. Units of the Peruvian navy at Callao withdrew to Ancon, a short distance to the north, where naval aviation headquarters are located. ' Some political quarters predicted that Sanchez Cerro would return to power, although he told the United Press that he intended to leave °eru forth ee months. Sanchez Ctiro was called to the president al immediately after the Kinencz coup ami was given a tremendous greeting from the populace. The latest change in government was accomplished without bloodshed and was carried out so quicky it hat most of the population was not aware of it. Lt. Col. Jimenez landed at Callao early yesterday with two transport loads of troops that had been prevented by the navy from going south to oppose the Arequipa revels. He led the troops to Lima in leisurely fashion, and at rived at the capital late in tb.e afternoon. Jimenez then vent to the presidenl’al palace accompanied by sev-
