CATALINA FEATURE IS TASK Odds Given No Swimmer Survives Channel in $40,000 Race Saturday. tfu United Press * LOS ANGELES, Cal., Tan. 13. An army of distance swimmers churned the waters off Catalina Island today in practice for Saturday’s sea marathon of twenty-three miles, for which William Wrlgley Jr. has donated prizes of $40,000. Among the entrants are men and women who already have done the “impossible" in swimming feats, but the treacherous course between Catalina and the mainland is quoted as a favorite to defeat the field. Down on Spring St., where the betting odds are fashioned, those •who wish to risk their money may get 2 to 1 that no swimmer will survive the chilly, swirling currents of the Catalina channel. In fact, some bets have been made at 8 to 1. English Channel “Winners” Conquerors of the English Channel who belatedly are heeding the injunction, “Swim America First,” include Henry Sullivan, Lowell, Mass., policeman; Charley Totth, Boston waiter, and Mr*. Mille Gade Corson. Other long distance stars who will try for the Wrigley prize are Norman Ross, former Olympic champion; Louis Tlmson, Mrs. Charlotte Moore Schoeininel and Miss Clarabelle Barrett. Charley Zimmy of Oakland is a legless man who has faith in his ability to breast the channel. The swimmers will start from the island at 11 o’clock Saturday morning. The first to reach the mainland will receive $25,000. If a man is the winner the first woman to finish will receive $15,000.

Notre Dame-Franklin, De Pauw-Wabash, ButlerAggies Feature. By Norman E'. Isaacs It will be hotsy-totsy In Hoosierland Friday and Saturday. An even dozen college basketball games are on tap and the rah-rah boys and girisl are assured a busy week-end. Notre Dame’s high powered machine will go flying into Franklin Friday in an attempt to ride over the Baptists. Which is a mighty hard thing to do on Franklin’s home floor. But the Irish and Baptists will not hog the limelight. De Pauw and Wabash will have a little friendly affair to settle down at Greencastle Friday. It is one of the annual rivalry settos and it Is a safe bet the Tigers and Cavemen wouldn’t think of hurting the others’ feelings—much. Six Other Games Six other games will be pulled off Friday in which Indiana teams will play important parts. Danville Normal will tangle up with Paul Parker’s Muncie outfit at Muncie, Indiana Central will open its arms wide to greet Manchester in the University Heights gym. The Chesters are among the fast quintets gracing Hoosierdom and Indiana Central hopes are not flying so high this week. Nevertheless, it ought to be a battle. When the cheering has subsided a bit after the Shortridge-Broad Ripple High School tilt at the Armory, Friday, Butler will take possession of the floor along with Michigan State College and attempt to prove that these Indiana teams are the classiest things in the nation. Michigan State (the Aggeis) defeated Marquette in an overtime strugggle last Saturday. Rose Poly will engage Earlham in one game that is sure to attract attention from the secondary colleges in the State. The battle will be pulled off in Richmond. Huntington will take on St. Mary’s at Orchard Lake. Evansville will be one of the gang to move out over the boundary line, Evansville’s Purple Aces taking a little jaunt to St. Louis to meet St. Louis. University. I’urdue Vs. Minnesota Snturdav evening Ward Lambert’s Purdue quintet will tackle Minnesota at Lafayette in what is the! feature contest of the day.

ALUMNI LOSE Cathedral Varsity Comes From Behind to Win. The Cathedral High School basket team came from behind In the final minutes of play Wednesday at the K. of C. gym to take a 29-27 victory from the Cathedral Alumni. The game was hard fought. The grads got away fast and showed a more class in the first half, holding to a 15-9 lead. The varsity gradually closed up the gap and Dugan tied the score with a pair of free shots a few minutes from the end, following it up with a long field toss that gave

CITY BOWLING GOSSIP ■ ■' "-By Lefty Lee 1

The boys were “on” again in the Capitol No. 1 League and, as a result, plenty of excitement was on tap Thursday night. The Marott Shoe Shop team was the only outfit to win three games, dropping the 3-F Coffee boys over this route. KmHoe, Coca Cola and H. E. Schmitt won two out of three from the Robbins Body, Werbe-Meissen and Silver Flash. Ten games passed the 1,000 mark, the 1,006 of Marotts being high. Marotts again led in the three- \ game total, having 3,023 on games of 920, 1.066 and 1,037. H. E. Schmitt shooters wero close behind, W#h 3,014, on games of 1,030, 1,003 and 981. Tite final game between the Silver Elasli and Schmitt teams was hard fought, the Schmitt boys nosing out the Flash by one pin. In the individual event the going was plenty hot, Walter Wheeler’ finally winning high honors from “Nan” Schott by ten pins. Wheeler had a total of 693 on games of 224, 269 and 200, which Schott had 236, ißi. Other 600 shooters were: Haislup, 612; A. Friebeck, 606; Foley, 625: Stritt, 603; Wrench, 610; Cheney, 625; 663; E. Schott, 604; Rassmussen, 616; Cobler, 619; Cray, 603, and F. Fox, 628. This makes a total of 16 out of 40 shooting to pass the coveted 600 mark. Forty-eight games passed the 200 mark, the 269 of Walter Wheeler’s being tlie one to win the 3-F coffee prize. “Nan” Schott again placed second witii his 266 game. After about six weeks of hard work Frank Fox and Larry Cobler, two of the veterans of the pin game, finally have induced Larry Fox and Johnny Fehr to roll them a tengame match. The first block of live

games will be rolled at the Capitol alleys next Sunday afternoon. The confidence of the “old folks” leads me to lean in their direction, but the ability of the "kids” to get the wood when they need it is well known, so ; all the dope this column can give is the assurance that it will be a wellbalanced, hard-fought match, worth going to see. The Grotto boys from St. Louis are a confident bunch and their press agent reports them as expecting to win their matches here Saturday and Sunday. Their reeprd to date is 26 won and none lost.' This is a wonderful showing, but the local boys say. "Dempsey met Tunney the same way.” The women are turning in better scores as the season progresses and i have been showing games that men j are glad to get. Charles Oeftering | thought he would have something easy when he took on his wife for a five-game match, but after the total pins were counted it was found to run like this: Mrs. Oeftering. 170-160-213-188-188—038 Mr. (lettering. . IS7-172-201-gO.Yl(iO—B73 This total gives Mrs. Oeftering an average of 185 3-5 pins for the series. R. Behrman had games of 163, 243 and 169 for a total of 575, which gave her high single game and high total for three games in the Century ladies’ league games rolled Thursday. Mrs. Wiesman is busy collecting entries for the women's city tourney to be held Jan. 29 and 30 and we feel confident she will get them. Tho La Salle outfit took three from the Pintas in the K. of C. League games rolled on the Century alleys Wednesday night, while the Calumets. Isabellas and Ninas were taking two out of three from the
