I, U., PURDUE TAKE CONTESTS IN CONFERENCE — Indiana Beats Chicago; Purdue Trounces Minnesota Chicago. Feb. 14 — <U.R) — An | old familiar story iu Rig Ten bus-j ketball appeared today as Indiana I and Purdue came roaring down the backatretch with the hottest teams in the conference. They've been doing it for years Indiana already has established a commanding conference lead j and now comes Purdue, apparent-1 ly doomed to the second division.! with consecutive victories over' Illinois and Minnesota. The Boilermakers, defending champions in the jig-saw race, handcuffed Minnesota handily last night, 30 to 20. for their fourth 1 victory in six games. It was Minnesota's third defeat of the year' and virtually removed the pre-: season favorites from title con-1 Hideration. Indiana's 4»i to 33 victory over | Chicago was routine business, al-1 though it took a barrage ot second half long shots to give the pace-; making Hoosiers their sixth straight conquest in seven games. In two other conference games last night. Illinois climbed into third place by defeating Michigan. 35 to 28 on Pick Dehner's 16 points and Northwestern defeated Wisconsin, 37 to 27. Ohio State, in second place, and lowa' both were idle. Indiana may run into unexpect-: ed trouble with Northwestern Saturday night, but Purdue has a good chance to gain ground at Wisconsin. Michigan plays at Chicago and Ohio State comes back into conference competition against lowa at Columbus, 0. Monday games: Indiana 46, Chicago 33 — Chicago's zone defense kept the Hoosiers in hand until midway through the second period. With the score at 30 to 28. Indiana, led by Bill Menke who scored 12 points, picked up six straight field goals before Chicago scored . again Most of Indiana's second half Held goals were shot over the ; Chicago sone Purdue SO. Minnesota 20- Ward I Piggy i Lambert's excellent scout- 1 ing of the Gophers received credit for this victory. His Improving' Boilermakers repeatedly broke up j Minnesota’s short passing game and held the Gophers to eight field goals. With six foot-five inch Forrest Weber at center and regular center Gene Anderson at for-! ward, Purdue's added height proved too much. Illinois 35. Michigan 28—Michigan made it tough until center Jim Rae went out on fouls Tom Harmon scored three straight field goals near the end of the game, but missed two free throws that would have tied the score.; Then with Rae out. the lllini popped in four quick points and on Dehner's excellent rebounding, controlled the ball the last minute. Northwestern 37, Wisconsin 27 — Chuck Melchoir's 14 points gave Northwestern its fourth straight conference triumph. Wisconsin was missing badly, hitting only 11 shots from the field in 70 attempts, and never threatened after the first 10 minutes. o Soap-Box Derby Down Under Prospect. N. S. W. (U.R) — Between 7.000 and 8,000 people lined half a mile of road here to see 125 boys contest Australia's first "soap-box derby.” Twenty miles an hour was easy even for the slowest of the speedsters.

S. Matsonia. Honolulu Bound. Feb. 14. —(U.R) —Either the officers of this ship are wroung or j 1 am. Never being one to take things for granted. I questioned the | position of this ship as posted bv them at noon today and sal down in my cabin to figure it out for myself. They were very nice about giving me all the available data, and for the last three hours 1 have been charting our position, i nothins* north star, sun, lime date. etc. Furthermore, I am sure 1 made no mistakes in arithmetic. The very fact that I don't see how I could be wrong is what is worrying me. because, according to my calculations, the S. S. Matsonia. right this minute, is just fourteen and three-quarter miles outside of Muncie, Indiana. 1 hope that the ship’s officers are right, because 1 would much rather go to Honolulu than Muncie. Not that 1 don't like Muncie, because I do. Thousands of my best friends live in Muncie. But 1 feel it would be too much of an imposition to drop in on them in a ship. Come to think of it, not more than three or four of my friends in Muncie have docking space for a 20,000-ton liner. I have told the captain of the position I worked out. and have warned him that if I am right he had better slow down once he gets inside the city limits because Muncie strictly enforces its speed regulations. “Remember,” I cautioned another officer, "fifteen miles an hour." , “Knots to you." he answered. Having done all I could about the position of the ship business, I resumed eating. We eat something on this boat every few minutes. and having been a full hour without any kind of food I was gaunt and weak with hunger. And you can se when I tell what an average day has been. - Upon waking in the morning every sensible person realizes that all the food on a boat is free and he bounds out of bed determined to get his share. People who usually have just orange juice and coffee for breakfast toss off steaks, kippered herrings, and innumerable omelettes. When wc finish these enormous bargain breakfasts we race to the deck in time Ico have bouillion and crackers. We gulp this down in order not to be late for the appetizers served before lunch. Still clutching an appetizer in one- hand, we then tear for the dining room where we order everything on the luncheon menu. Between lunch and tea we forage through the boat, eating fruit, scattered about on nearly every sandwiches, and cakes that are table. We then devour whacking big teas, followed by more appetizers in the cocktail lounge before dinner. At dinner we really settle down to serious eating, and it Is nothing for a bird-like eater to have potatoes, an assortment of salads, four kinds of meat, four kinds of and four kinds of dessert. After 1

dinner we go immediately back to j the lounge and eat cold ham and ■ turkey and cheese and crackers. This keeps body and soul together until we rush to our staterooms to go to bed. There, the thought- • ful steward has laid out a cold supper for us. Bring on either Muncie or Honolulu, boy. But do bring we a little something to eat.
