THE rise of hockey has been i something to swell the hearts 1 —and coffers—of sports pro- 1 moters this year, and the fans have 1 gone all the way in succumbing to the spell of the ice. Because the game is kept clean and fast, as professional sports go, we’re happy about all that, and we see no reason why hockey should not prove worthy of all the things its promoters are planning for the game next year. But we’re a bit ahead of ourselves. for this season's hockey dessert is yet to be served. The final course will be dished up beginning Saturday, when the first games of the Stanley Cup playoffs will be held. Os course, the Toronto Leafs are the team to be beaten, in the opin ion of fans and experts alike. The stick wielders who won the cup last year in three straight victories over the Rangers have turned in a slick brand of ice play throughout the season, and finished strong enough to warn any contending out fit that the championship still fits capable shoulders. Outstanding amoiw the conten- i ders are the Detroit Red Wings, as i

Indiana, Purdue, Marquette. Michi|gan State, Illinois and Pittsburgh. Favorites in the four college relay i events are Western State, Michiigan Normal. Kansas State, Miami, i Illinois Normal and Butler. i Gov. Paul V. McNutt will present ia trophy to the University scoring (the most points. A trophy from Al fl. Feeney, state commissioner [of athletics, will be presented the I high scoring college entry. Qualification trials were schedulJed to start shortly after noon. The (pole vault finals will open the night meet. Other events will bo I run off in the following order j High jump, sixty-yard dash, shot I put, university two-mile relay, college two-mile relay, sixty-yard high I hurdles, college medley relay, nni- , versify medley relay, university four-mite relay, college one-mile relay. an dthe university one-mile relay. Major John L. Griffith, athletic I commissioner of the western conference, will serve as referee and I starter in the event which Butler hopes will take the place of the ;abandoned Illinois relays. Coach Hermon Phillips of Butler, i former Olympic st ir, will be host of the evening.

none will deny. The Wings came tip from a less than mediocre team to lead their division and confound the boys who muttered all along that they were playing far beyond themselves. They just kept ou playing that way. The showing made by the Wings may be attributed in good measure to the smart playing of two exRangers, John Ross Roach and young Carl Voss. It will be recalled that Goalie Roach was blamed for the Leafs’ straight victories over the Rangers last year, and it was howled around that the “Insect” had broken training and whatnot, which rendered his defense at the net hardly worth while to his team. But when Roach went to Detroit this year a new man was born, it .eemed. He became the mainstay of the Wings, galvanizing that aggre gation to the amazing show of speed and class that marked it the wonder team of hockey. It was Roach who cracked the Rangers’ amkzing, long non-shutout record. Johnny turned the trick and received a bonus for his work. He has continued to hold the big team whenever the Wings crossed sticks with the New York ers.

TWO INDIANA ' TEAMS REMAIN Chicago. Mar. 25 (U.R) —With . I Illinois teams occupying four of J the eight quarterfinal round brackI ets. parochial quintets from Intii- . : ana and New York share the spotI light in today’s round of eight games in the National Catholic I Interscholasiic basketball toumat ' merit at Loyola University. , I In the opening game this after-! 1 noon.

Chicago against St. George of I Evanston. 111. Tonight the winners clash in ; the semi-final round; the tournament will wind up tomorrow night. Favorites fell along the -’ gyside in the second round yesterday. De Paul displayed unexpected strength I i-i defeating Central Catholic high of Fort Wayne. Ind. in the! day’s major reversal. Yesterday’s late scores: St.j George. Evanston. 111., defeated Trinity High. Bloomington. 111.. 27 to 2ti; De Paul Academy, Chicago i defeated Central Catholic High. 1 Fort Wayne.

St. Paul. 42 to 18; Reitz Memorial High. Evansville. Ind., defeated St. Catherine High, Du I Bois. Pa.. 22 Io IS. o 1. G. Kerr spent several days in , Indianapolis this week on business.

As for Voss, he was one of the most promising recruits of the year j when Coach Lester Patrick brought him to the Rangers. Then, for reasons best known to himself, Patrick let V oss go to the Wings. The young man promptly went star, and has I been one of the most dangerous men 1 on the Detroit roster. Unless Detroit suddenly loses the grip it seems to have on a winning brand of play, the Red Wings, none . other, will be considered the big I threat in the playoffs. Their par- i ticular enemies, the Rangers, have been no slouches through the year, although th**y had things less their own way than in 1932. But you can’t exactly toss them over your shoulder — although Detroit says yes. When we mentioned plans for ' next year, we referred to the state- ' ment of Frank Calder, prexy of the National Hockey League for some 16 years, that another team would be added to the loop He says a franchise will be sold for about ' $50,000. and points to this as nroof that hockey has gone over big in the United States. All right, we believe him. Caprrtshi IMS. Kins rutarx Indluta. Im

DEBT QUESTION IS HELD OPEN ! “'oXIIXCEn I--HOM PAGE <>XE» The present secretary leaves the door open, at least for a while. I The effect of this policy, informml quarters believed would be to iencourage France to seek some ! agreement with (he United States lon payment of its defaulted installment and revision of its debt. The I way seemed open for a proffer of I cooperation on lowering tariffs in ' return for debt concessions. Neverthless, Hull emphasized that the discussion of tariffs and other economic matters would he kept separate from that of debts. Following his conversation with ' Sir Ronald Lindsay, the British ambassador. yesterday, Hull said that ; no trade of BrUish economic con- | cessions for war debt reductions 1 had been discussed. Hull made clear today his desire to end the restrictions now throttling trade. He said it was his view i that the state of conditions calls for international cooperation to stimulate business and to restore agriculture without reference to the l merits of the war debts.
