With five teams deadlocked for first place and no team more than five laps back of the leaders, the Indianapolis six-day bicycle race ‘entered its final hours today, hurtling - toward tonight's sprinting climax. - The finish is scheduled fo 11 p. m. : EE Piet Van Kempen and: Freddie Zach joined the pacemakers by picking up a lap on the leaders duringy two wild jams last night which saw Henri LePage and Fernand Wambst at one time in sole possession of the top spot. 2 Tied with these two teams were the Jules Audy-Ernst Buhler combination, point leaders; the Jimmy | Walthour-Freddie Ottevaere duo, early leaders; and the Al CrossleyCecil Yates pair, who have been in nearly every position from first to last. :

Two laps back of the leaders were two other teams, Al Heaton and Dominick Camastro and Freddie Spencer and Tommy Flynn, cycling
in last place until yesterday's rush|
toward the top began. : Lose Early Advantage
Early last night, Wambst and LePage jumped the field, grabbing two laps in the first jam session and taking command of the duel until the other four pairs overtook them in the last jam. With the teams on such an even basis, sprint points became even more valuable and the continuous “hour of sprinting from 10. to 11 p. m. is certain to find all teams
hot after sprint victories, it was |
predicted. Instead of the usual six points for winning a sprint, victorious teams during the last hour dashes tonight will get 72 points each. Even the Audy-Buhler advantage-of 101 points over their nearest foes will not stand unless they take their share of the sprints, for second place will not pay more than the four points given all week. ; Sprints Cut to Mile Also, the. two-mile distance of the earlier sprints will be cut in half during the last hour, the dashes being only one mile, or 14 laps around the track. If the race is halted because of accidents or breakdowns, time will be added after 11 o'clock to assure one full hour of sprinting. .. If teams are -fied in.. mileage at the end of the race, the pair with the most sprint points will be declared the winner. * Two minor accidents occurred last night as Heaton went down alone .once and Zach, Yates and Mickey Rodak piled up another time. None was badly hurt, although Heaton received lacerations.

College Stars Meet for
here today. °
team race. Ohio State was far out in front with 25 points ‘and was favored to become the first collegiate squad in history to take the
title. The University of Michigan was second with 12 points, and Harvard third with seven points. Five events were on today’s program. Preliminaries in the 100yard free ' style; 150<yard back stroke; 500-yard free style; high board diving and 300-yard medley relay, were scheduled this afternoon with finals in the same eveats concluding the meet tonight. Ohio State scored in four of the five events contested yesterday. The lone race in which the Scarlet and Gray contingent failed to grab a point was the 220-yard free style. Ohio State’s commanding lead in the team race was due principally fo a thrilling victory over Michigan in the 400-yard free style relay; and the triumph of Al Patnik, slender sophomore, in the low board diving.
Nearly Tie Record
In defeating Michigan in the relay event, Ohio State came within one-tenth of a second of tying the Wolverines’ world mark for the distance. The Scarlet quartet of Ed Sabol, Bob Johnson, Bill Quayle .and Bill Neuzig, negotiated the distance in 3:31.5 to nip Michigan by a scant yard. E Patnik was the only 1937 champion able to retain his crown on the first day of the meet. The youthful Buckeye ace, who seeks to score a “grand slam” by adding two A. A. U. crowns to the pair of national collegiate titles he holds, was in top form as he bested Al Greene of Chicago. Jim Patterson of Ohio State. a former intercollegiate king, was third. : The defending champion who suffered the hardest blow was John Higgins, 1936 Olympic star and currently a member of the Ohio State team. Higgins lost both his 220yard breast stroke title and his 300-. yard individual medley crown. Flanagan Licks Jinx The. breast stroke championship went to Jack Kasley of Michigan, who was timed in 2:40, and the medley title to Andrew Clark, Detroit high ‘school boy. Clark beat the great Adolph Keifer of Austin, Tex., after a bitter stretch duel. His time was 3:31.3, The other 1937 king to be shorn of his title was Charles Hutter of Harvard in the 220-yard free style. Hutter finished a poor fifth as the toga went to bronzed Ralph Flanagan of the Miami (Fla.) Biltmore Club. The winner’s time was 2:109. Flanagan overcame a jinx that has hounded him for the last five
It was the first indoor title he has held since 1933. In that year at New York Flanagan, then 15, defeated Jack Medica of Seattle and Ted Wiget of Stanfcrd, in the 500yard free style. Since, he has been a Co nt winner - outdoors but never was able to grab another indoor title until he displaced Hutter as the 220 ruler. i

AGAIN DISPUTED
Abatement League Official Approves Device While Clinehens Disagrees.
The Ringelmann Chart, termed by some the “solution” to Indian= apolis’ smoke problem, and branded by others as “dangerous,” was the subject of controversy again today among leaders in the fight on smoke and soot. : . While Roy O. Johnson, Smoke Abatement League attorney, announced he may seek reintroduc-
tion of a icity ordinance amendment providing for use of the chart by private citizens, Combustion Engineer J. W. Clinehens described the device as “inaccurate.” The Smoke Abatement League board of directors will be asked to approve the proposed amendment next week, Mr. Johnson said. Two previous attempts to obtain City Council approval of similar amendments failed.
4 Chart Based on Density
> At those times the League claimed the measure would encourage enforcement of the antismoke law while opponents of amendment charged. it- would bring “persecution” of home and factory owners. The Ringelmann chart is a device whereby persons. may observe the smoke density by comparing its blackness with variously shaded squares on the chart. “It’s sufficiently accurate to accomplish the purpose,” Mr. Johnson said today. “It’s recommended by the U. 8S. Bureau of Mines and the National Association for Smoke Prevention.” Mr. Clinehens said the Ringelmann would be of no value.
Asks Law Enforcement
“If they'll go ahead and enforce the law with the umbrascope, it's all right with us,” Mr. Johnson explained. “But I want to see them enforce it.” a ‘He contended that “with reasonable training any person of grdinary intelligence could make an fccurate Shesrvation with the Ringelmann chart.” :

An Indiana delegation led by H. A. Hollopeter, State Chamber of Commerce. traffic director, was to go to Birmingham, Ala., today for a hearing before the Interstate

The Southern petition, indorsed by Governors of eight states as a means of building: an “Industrial South,” asks for lower freight rates on shipments from the South to the North than would’ be allowed on freight shipments from the North to the South. , “If the petition is granted,” Mr. Houllopeter said, “it will mean an exodus of industry. from the North to the South.” He said hearings may be held at Chicago in June in order “to give local businessmen a chance to give their views.” Perry McCart, Public Service Commission chairman, and Ralph Hanna, public counselors are to represent the State at the hearing.

The Bette
Some time ago a prominent local businessman checked through his records and found that he had paid out more than $1500 to thirty-four different advertising rackets during the preceding year. In each case the salesman showed printed literature, and a printed receipt using an important sounding name, apparently of an important organization. When these receipts were submitted to the BetterBusiness Bureau, a check-up showed that not one of them had actually published an established legitimate publication. This money was charged up to "advertising" but absolutely no advertising value was obtained. :
other basis it is as such,
Do not blame advertising if you choose to squander your money
An advertising racketeer arrested and sentenced in a mid--western city made the statement that he could sell advertising in publications that did not exist, to busy businessmen who would_.. pay him as much as $200.00 a page for advertising in time books and souvenir programs of organizations and associations that actually have no members or headquarters. He claimed that he could average $100 a day, when he worked, by such methods. To quote him: "The man who is too busy to make an investiga- - tion is the best tap (sucker) | know of."
You may be on the sucker list and not know it. It is unfair to * legitimate advertising and to your fellow businessmen to encourage such racketeers to continue in business. If you are solicited, determine first whether it is an established publication ~ with a known circulation, or whether such proposed advertising ‘can be of a value to you commensurate with its cost.
