LU. Trackmen ‘Risk State

Crown Today

N. D. and Purdue Make The Risk Real. :

LAFAYETTE, Ind, June 1 (U. P.).—Indiana’s collegiate track and field athletes meet ‘today on the Purdue University lots, the final chance for -many of them to win prime Hoosier honors. Four state track records, in the shot put, the discus throw, the 400yard run and the two-mile run, are expected to be endangered as the

Indiana title-holders show their(

wares. The de Indiana

ding - state champion, niversity, is expected to

be forced to the utmost to defend;

the title against uproarious Notre Dame and Purdue teams,

few breaks. 129 Collegians Entered

A total of 129 Hoosier collegians

are registered for competition in the 14 individual events _today—and you can't count any ohe of them out of first-place money until after the events are run. | Battling with Nofire Dame, Indiana and Purdue are six small Hoosier colleges—Butler, the new “Little State” title-holder, Earlham, De Pauw, Ball State, Bote Poly and Taylor. defending thempions are Roy | Cochran, Indiana’s major threat in| any man’s meet, who holds the title . in the low hurdles, the quarter mils dash, and the broad jump; Harris of Indiana, who has the .shot put and discuss marks; Dean of Notre Dame in the pole vault; Leonas of Notre Dame, the high jump cham,pion; Poorman of Indiana in the javelin; Saggau of Notre Dame in the 100-yard dash, and Rosy Southworth of Butler, the half-mile king. The fans are doped to get their major excitement, though, in the middle-distance dvents where Ed Holderman, Purdue’s ace, gets a chance to battle two old rivals, Campbell Kane and Tolliver, hoth of Indiana, in the two-mile and mile distances. Kane, with Cochran, : 3 jiana’s pair of aces, is expected to et all the competion -he wants from Southworth of Butler in the 880yard: run,

L 2- -Mile Problematical

What's going to happen in the two-mile race is problematical. Holderman nosed out Tolliver for the crown in the Big Ten meet last week-end, but Kane is rated a better competitor than Tolliver—and he’s in shape to run today. Holderman, though, was second to Kane in the mile at the Big Ten scrap. Harris is: expeeted to get all his competition from Weber of Purdue and Brosey of Notre Dame in the shot put event. All haye been cracking the 50-foot mark this year, and you can’t bet either way on who'll hold the title tonight. The Boilermakers are depending on Tykocki, -Rankin, Shackleton and ¥Edwards in addition to Holderman and the mile relay team. Notre Dame has Brosey, Archer, Hester, Roy, Saggau,'Dean and Leonas.

Butler Has Seven In Big State

> Seven trackmen, one a defending champion, represent Butler today in the Big State track and field meet at Purdue University .in Lafayette. They are Co-captain Charles Marshall, a heavy favorite in both the high and low hurdles and the high jump; Co-captain William Southworth,. - defending half-mile titleholder; Captain-elect James Stewart, quarter mile; Armstead Elkin, hurdles; George Blare, javelin, and Earle Cummings and Ora Kincaid, who will comprise the mile relay team ‘with Marshall and Southworth.

Coach Ray Sears announced yes-| terday that Southworth will not run

in the mile but devote his attention to the half-mile and run anchor on thz relay team. - Southworth was clocked at 4.10:08 in the mile recently in Memphis, Tenn., still better than the mile time made by Zamperini of the. University of - Soufhern California last week. In the half-mile race today Southworth’s toughest competitor will be Campbell Kane of Indiana University, the favorite.

Meanwhile Sears is planning the Indiana A. A. U. track and field ; meet he will direct June 15 at Butler. - In addition to the 16 events for men entrants, Sears has announced . four events: for women. They are the 50-yard and 100-yard

‘dashes, baseball throw and an ex-|.

« hibition 440-yard relay comprised of the first four finishers in the 100yard dash. If this relay time is fast enough, Sears said the girl quartet will be sent to the National A. A. U. meet later in the summer. Admission to the meet will™e used to defray the women’s expenses. Three outstanding women run- 4 ners from the state will run here in the dashes, according to Sears. They are Virginia Spiker, Muncie High School girl, whom Sears believés is capable of equaling National A. A. U. time; Betty Rankin of Martinsville, and Catherine Smith, Montezuma. Several Butler University coeds also are expected to enter, The Butler team will be a combimation of varsity and freshman athletes and will compete for the team title. Present freshman trackmen will be eligible for this varsity competition because they will have become sophomores by that :time.’

“(Continued from Page 10)

Out of the hospital only a short time before the party, Riganti expects to. leave here today—and come back next year. Shortly afterward, Dreyfus, the handsome gray-haired Frenchman, was called to the speakers’ micro-

. phone. He made a prediction as to

the duration of the war that he will go back into ‘when he returns to his homeland.

“We, hope to come back next year after the war is over,” he said. “We were deeply touched by the

‘reception we got on landing in In-

dianapolis and by the great racing fraternity represented by Wilbur Shaw. We hope we have proven our qualities as race drivers.” It wasn’t long then until his com-#, panion in war and racing, LeBegue, was called on. He thanked the men for their. reception and then suggested that “the racers be left to choose their own speeds during a rain.” LeBegue said he thought the track was good enough to allow that privilege without endangering any life. Putting a surprise element into the gathering, colorful, outspoken Kelly Petillo, winner in 1935, almost grabbed the .spotlight and took it away with him. “I'd like just five minutes of your time,” said Kelly. A hush fell over the room. Kelly reviewed his racing ‘career, said that after he had won nine straight races on the Coast some years back he thought he was “pretty hot stuff.”

Look Out Shaw, Says Kelly

_ But Kelly contended: “You've got to have a good car to win. “Shaw is a grade-A driver but

he better not leave that car (an

Italian Maserati, considered to be one of the best cars on the track). “Next year I'm going to have me a, Maserati.” And you could tell that Shaw, sitting only three or four feet from the mike, knew Kelly meant what he said, On top of all the cash, Shaw received in addition the L. Strauss trophy, a Norge refrigerator and a year’s - meal ticket to Wheeler's Lunch. A gold belt buckle was awarded by Joe Thorne to Rex Mays for the fastest lap.
