The first of the Wisconsin hard games comes tonight when Purdue invades Madison. The Boilermakers, led by “Stretch” Murphy, are determined to gain a victory which would mean a first place tie with the Badgers. Must Hold Murphy Doc Mtamvell, Wisconsin coach, has a rangy team which is capable of the best floor game in the Conference, and the result tonight probably will hinge on whether the Badgers can pass well enough to prevent Murphy from going on a scoring spree. While the advantage would seem to lie with the Badgers tonight the game is an ideal spot for another one of the upsets with which the season has been filled. Three other games will be played tonight: Indiana at Northwestern; Minneasota at Michigan, and lowa at lowa State, a non-Conference opponent. Maroons Win One!

Strib Dislocates Rib in Training; Back in Trim and Ready for Fray Father of Georgia Heavy Says Accident Was Kept Secret; Cecil Ferguson Attends Southerner.

BY FRANK GETTY United Pres* Sports Editor MIAMI BEACH, Fla,, Feb. 25. Young Stribling, southern contender for the heavyweight championship of the world, dislocated a rib during training last week, and his fight with Jack Sharkey of Boston was nearly cancelled, the Georgia boxers’ father disclosed today. “Pa” Stribling admitted that his son on Wednesday had slipped a rib in his left side while punching too vigorously at the heavy bag. The accident was kept a secret. None of the observers at the ringside in the Georgian’s training camp was aware of the incident. Young Stribling was attended by Cecil B. Ferguson, a former pitcher of the New York Giants, who studied under “Bonesetter” Reese, and the rib is now nicely in place. For a time, Stribling suffered from a form of neuritis in his right

champion. The Casemen have one of the most powerful basket squads in Indiana and they are rated among the outstanding favorites for the crown. Following the Frankfort sectional the “fighting five” will compete in the Lafayette re-

arm as a result of the misplaced rib on his left side, according to the stories from his camp today. Stribling’s arm is well again, and he is ready for the fight, it was said, at his headquarters. Martin Burke, veteran light heavyweight from New Orleans, said Stribling, in his final hard workout Sunday, really was punching again. “He can hit with that right; it’s o. k.,” said Burke. Naturaly, however, a dislocated rib is no great boost for a fighter’s stock on the eve of battle, nor is the report that he has suffered for four days with neuritis in his right arm. This is the Stribling story and they are sticking to it, momentarily. Those of us who watched the Georgia boy work out during the past week had no inkling he had sustained any serious injury during his training or that he was suffering in any way.

Wiggins and Gemas Set for Ring Go Heavyweights Set to Clash at Armory on Tuesday Night. George Gemas, the burly heavyweight from Philadelphia, who is to meet Chuck Wiggins in the Armory feature, Tuesday night, arrived in Indianapolis Saturday morning and on both Saturday and Sunday indulged in lengthy workouts at the Arcade gym. The Philly German is a rugged type of fighter and has met almost all the prominents in the heavy ranks. He is a self-styled "trial horse" and has had plenty of experience in the glow-throwing "racket.” Chuck took over the gym after Gemas finished Sunday afternoon and loked to be in as good condition as he was two weeks ago when he fought Jack De Mave at the Armory. He boxed four rounds w’ith Cecil Hurt and looked fast. The house will be a "sell out” by tonight, Major Greene said today. Wiggins has trained off a lot of surplus flesh that he accumulated tn a couple of months and the Indianapolis rough-house performer actually looks to be in fine shape.

friend, Hugo Quist, Nurmi suddenly disappeared from sight Saturday night and all efforts since to reach him have failed. Already Suspended When Quist reached the Garden with the information that Nurmi would not run. the registration committee in a hasty session immediately suspended him from further competition until he appears before the committee and explains his absence from the national championships. The registration committee probably will meet Wednesday night to consider Nurmi's case. With Nurmi far from the scene, Eino Purje, also of Finland, galloped to anew world's indoor record in the two-mile steeplechase in 9 minutes 55 2-5 seconds, four seconds better than Willie Ritola’s former record, and Edvin Wide, Swedish schoolmaster, won the twomile flat race in 9 mi' utes 7 seconds, anew championship record. Nurmi had been a possible entrant in both races. Dodges Dangerous Men Since Nurmi's defeat by Ray Conger in the K. of C. mile in the Garden, the opinion has gained favor in track circles that the once peerless Finn is only a shell of his former self. He has dodged races with dangerous opponents in his last three appearances. A. A. U. officials do not hesitate to say that they do not believe Nurmi had “a cold” as suggested in some quarters or that he was “unable to run,” as he himself said. Unless the A. A. U. officials weaken in their stand. Nurmi may have run his last race in this country provided he is unable to give a satisfactory excpse why he quit the national championships.
