Indiana Weakened for Big Ten Track Meet Saturday
BLOOMINGTON, March 4 (U.
ing Big Ten track champions, who
year after the Wolverines had a seven-year monopoly, stiffened workouts today on an outside hope of retaining its title. Michigan, Ohio State and Illinois throw equally-powerful squads against the Hoosiers in the 32d annual western conference meet at the
Chicago field house Saturday, and are favored to unseat Coach Billy Hayes’ weakened I. U. runners. However, the Hoosiers will not be pushovers, even though the loss of Roy Cochran, quarter-mile zecord holder, and Bob Burnett, broad jump champ, took its toll. Fred Wilt, two-mile champion, and Campbell Kane, 880-yard flash, will be back to strengthen the Indiana bid, as well as the newest addition, Earl Mitchell, the swift miler who took second in the recent Boston A. A. meet with 4:12. This mark set the speediest time since: Chuck Fenske of Wisconsin set the present record of 4:11.1 in 1938. Michigan holds more track titles in Big Ten meets than any other team in the conference, having 12. Illinois is second with nine. Ohio State will be after its first crown with a strong team. The broad jump mark looks doomed this year, with Lee Farmer of Iowa ‘and Dallas Dupre of Ohio State, who already have bettered the record, favorites to shatter it again Saturday.

Certain for N.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 4 (U. P.) .—The national collegiate basketball tournament is less than three weeks away, but four teams—Penn State, Rice, Colorado and Illinois— were on record as certain contenders. Teams in the remainder of the eight districts still are in the playoff stage with important games yet to be played. The eastern sectional tournament, consisting of districts 1, 2, 3 and 4, will be played in New Orleans and the western sectional tournament, comprising the other four districts, will be played here. Both events will be held March 20 and 21.’
Winners of the two tournaments then meet in Kansas City for the “world series of‘ collegiate basketball” on March 28 to determine a successor to Wisconsin as the N. C. A. A. champion.
Penn State Accepts
Penn State accepted an invitation Monday to represent district 2 in the eastern sectional tournament. Colorado, district 7, nailed down the championship in the Big Seven conference for the third time in four seasons. The Buffs have 10 consecutive victories, against no defeats. Illinois, with its sensational sophomoré aggregation, won its first undisputed Big Ten conference championship since 1915 last Saturday night by ‘defeating Northwestem, 63 to 49. In. district 5, which includes the Big Six and the Missouri Valley conferences, both have two teams on the top rung. Oklahoma and Kansas are in a. virtual tie in the Big Six, while both Oklahoma A. and M. and Creighton are at the helm of the M. V. C. It may be the week of the tournament before the outstanding team can be selected.
