Unfortunately, the round robin schedule governing Bic Ten games will keep Purdue and Indian i .mart this season, so the fan-t are asking: “Who can stop 'hem?' - The Boilermakers handed Michi--tn its second defeat of the sea- ( son last night, 41 to 32, while Indiana was turning back Chicago, 33 to 30.

Roscoe ! Turner which had stood since Sept 1. 1934Officials of tho National Aeronautical association clocked his departure from Los Angeles and his arrival at Newark. The Newark timer said the record undoubtedly would be accepted as official. Only five months ago Hughes established an unofficial world speed record for land planes over a closed course near Santa Ana. Calif. He flew 352 miles an hour, far faster than the official record of 314:319. That record, too, was officially timed but has not been officially acccepted. At 40 one of the best known Hollywood producers, Hughes also is ouo of the country’s most daring pilots and one of the west coast's most sought after bachelors. He has been flying since he was 14 and the special nlane he flies cost him $125,000. He is a •nephew of the author. Rupert ' Hughes. A light tail wind boosted him a- ' cross most of yesterday's flight, Hughes said, but he fought atmospheric storms over the Rockies that he though offset the advantage of the later favoring breeze. He flew alone and he was "bored all the way.” "I just flew to New York on business in a hurry," he said. “I knew I might make a record, but the plane wasn't pushed." He thinks his plane is capable of 365 miles an hour—perhaps . 370. BOND PROPOSAL I ( ONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) issued to veterans — $2,000,000,000 or more. If half tue veterans cash their bonds immediately the <7ebt ' will be reduced by about $1,000,000.- ' JOO by the process of paying that sum through post office windows and retiring the bonds.
