COLLEGE TH INLIES IN TITLE MEET

De Pauw Is Favorite in Event Here 175 State Stars to Compete; Butler Looms as Contender. With prospects for clear weather and a fast track, 175 athletes from thirteen Indiana colleges will open an assault on track and field records in the eighth annual carnival at Butler oval Saturday afternoon. Four defending champions will be in the field. Ramsey of De Pauw will attempt to repeat in the 100-yard dash, and Button of De Pauw, who appears to be the outstanding weight man in the meet, will defend his shot put crown. Sivak of Butler, winner of the half and mile events last year, will compete again, and Jones of Butler will defend his two-mile honors against a strong field. All state schools wdth the exception of Indiana, Purdue and Notre Dame will compete in the event. DePauw will defend the shield for the sixth time, and is a slight favorite to repeat. Butler looms as one of the chief threats to the Tigers’ supremacy. With the exception of Bert Melson, high jump star, the Bulldog squad is in top condition. Nelson appeared a sure point-getter, but a throat infection may keep him out of the meet. Stears and Strahl will take his place in the event. Allen in the dashes and Jones and 9Tvak in the distance races will add to the Blue total, while Urbain and Kistler, members of the Bulldog relay teams which won honors this spring, also will compete in the longer events. Brock and Kinsely are slated for action in the hurdles. The Bulldogs lack strength in the field event. Chief contenders will be Stearns in the pole vault, Booz in the javelin throw, Puett and Templeton in the shot put and Hinchman in the broad jump. Ray Dodge of Chicago, member of the 1924 Ameircan Olympic track squad, will act as starter and referee. The pole vault will start at 1:30, with the first tract event scheduled for 2 p. m.
