Indiana has won three straight conference games to tie for first place with Michigan and Purdue. The Wisconsin team was to make its debut in the race today.

Northwestern dropped its first two games and then came back to edge out Illinois twice, while Iowa lost its first battle to Illinois. Purdue, victor In three games, had Chicago's twice defeated team for opposition today at Lafayette.

Youth usually holds complete sway in this meet, but this year a middle-aged foot racer, still a marvelous piece of running machinery although the razor-edge of speed seems unmistakably gone, shares the spotlight with a brawny youth destined perhaps to be one of America's greatest all-around performers. Paavo -Nurmi, now around 33, is only a shadow Of the peerless Paavo of 1924-25. Barney Der linger, just come of voting age, has the brawny abilly to break records all day long. Nurmi broke the American outdoor two-ralle record, but his time of 9:15 2-5, clipping two and two-fifths seconds from the 17-year-old mark of a Cornell collegian, Tel Berna, was not so startling when it is realized that Paavo, at the height of his form in 1925, raced this distance in 8:58 1-5 on an indoor track.

Saturday Nurmi was billed for an assault on the three-mile record, for which he holds himself the world mark of 14:11 1-5. Breaks Record Ber7inger, Pennsylvania sophomore, turned in one of the best performances of his career Friday when he won the intercollegiate deckthlon championship forthe first time, beating his rival, Tom Churchill, by 135 points. and breaking the relay carnival record. Berlinger, In spite of a lack of speed for the track events, performed brilliantly enough in the field to win three events, tie for first place in another, and pile up a total of 7,298.987 points. This bumped off the former record of 7.236.5575 points made by Vernon Kennedy of Missouri in 1927.

Churchill, who won the Kansas decathlon a week ago and surpassed Berlinger in the Olympic competition last Summer, finished second with 7163.928 points. The Oklahoma giant captured only one event. the discus, but gave Berlinger a baffle all the way. Most of the big college relay championships are on the card Saturday. New York University's fleet runners, led by the spectacu'ar negro, Phil Edwards, yesterday won the middle gates one-mile race and sprint medley.

Ohio State's sprinters got off to a good start with the quarter-mile relay in their bag. George Simpson, Buckeye ace, is favored to defend his honors in the 100-yard dash special Saturday afternoon.

NEW YORK, April 27(41Fran O'Doul, the Philadelphia swatsmith, obtained last Winter from the Giants, set the pace for National League batters of greater fame In the first 1929 averages, issued Saturday and including the first eight days of the campaign through the games of Wednesday.

O'Doul hit safely 13 times in six games for a mark of .542. The pitching laurels, of course, remained in dispute, since many of the boxmen failed to find time to enter a defeat into the record against themselves. Carl Hubbell, of the Giants; Burleigh Grimes, of the Pirates, and Perce Malone, of the Cubs, headed the procession, each with two victories and no defeats. Eleven other pitchers won one game each without defeat. Hack Wilson, the Cub slugger: led in runs scored with eight, while Babe Herman collected the greatest number of hits-14.

Herman and Wilson tied with Stephenson, of the Cubs, for the lead In doubles, each hanging four, but Nick Cullom of Brooklyn, stood alone in triples despite his having only two. O'Doul inserted three homers among his 13 hits to match Chick Hafey, of St. Louis. in long distance clouts. Hafey led in runs batted in with a total of 10.

Reese and Lindstrom, of the Giants. and Rabbit Maranville, of the Braves. shared base-stealing honors, each having three thefts. The team batting table found the Giants on top with a margin of .329 to .310 the more widely heralded Cubs. Cincinnati was third with .288 and Brooklyn fourth with .279.

The Cubs, however, led the league in batting in runs, 42 being their total. The Giants also led in team fielding with a mark of .988 against the .980 which left the Cubs and the Braves in a tie for second place. Following O'Doul in the Individual batting table were these regulars: Harper, Boston, Herman, Brooklyn, .467: Friscli, St. Louis, Cityler. Chicago, .419: Allen, Cincinnati, Douthit, St.

Two points are given for each game, two for a win and one each for a tie, and with each team getting a point for Friday's game Pratt City finished with 16 points and.Wylam 15. In the first game of the league double-header Fairfield and American Steel tied, 1-1, after a well-matched battle. This game did not change the relative standing of the two teams and Fairfield retained third place. Science Too Not only was the championship game evenly contested but the teams gave the finest display of scientific soccer football seen here this season.

The speed of the game and the splendid form of each team both on de' tense and attack brought the crowd to its feet many times, and there was a continual uproar from the fans as the followers of each team in turn had occasion to rejoice as their favorite finished exciting attacks with hot shots into the goal nets. A. AlcCrorie opened the scoring for Wylam, then Elmore headed the bail into the net for Pratt, followed by a successful long shot by James for Pratt. Pratt had the better of the game during this half. After the rest Wyhtm had the best of the play and AA.

McCrorie evened it up for Wy- 'lam, and Channel sent -Xylem ahead with a stinging shot. Elmore scored again for Pratt and the score was tied, three all. Every man on both teams played great football and hardly anyone could be singled out for special praise unless it be the goal keepers. The sluicting of the Wylam forwards and the dash of the Pratt forward line, in both vases made possible by the splendid backfield men, was thrilling. It Is planned to hold, local "international" or some other all-star game at one of the parks next week as a suitable wind-up of the-season.

The Managers will arrange this at a meeting at 424 City Hall, Monday night. The teams: Pratt City (3)Richard, goal; Findley and McCrorie, fullbacks; James, Mason and Miller, halfbacks; Elmore, Smith, Findley, Brown and Hannigan, forwards. Wylam (3)-11. Neil, goal; A. Dempsey and H.

No approaches to records were made Friday afternoon which was probably due to the fact that most of the boys were running under wraps and were content to qualify. Qualifying marks were rather low in some of the field events and it Is thought that good marks will be made in these events when the boys meet in the finals Saturday afternoon which, will decide title holders for a year. A competent set of officials ran the preliminaries off in fine style and they prom's. that Saturdays events will be started promptly at 2:30 o'clock and the events will follow each other in rapid order.

Dr. R. H. Crossfield, pastor First Christian Church, said customs and practices of people of that country, in many respects, are uncanny and impressive. Ile ascribed the riot some time ago In Bombay to religious differences and declared the message of Christ is the only thing that will bring the people together in religious and political unity, and the only hope for India is the acceptance of the Christian religion.

He told of the custom of Hindus of cremating their dead, of the lighting of fires for the father's bOdy by the elder son, and of the Pharisees of Bombay placing bodies of their dead in the Tower of Silence for vultures to devour. The line between the two sects is distinct, he said, even going to the extent of each having its own water stations at which the other will not drink. cffleNga PASSOVER OBSERVANCE ixt1) crodD On ixq onth MOOSE NAME DICTATOR I Bradley To Reap Harvest On Bets lais Nag Wins OcmAocmun 0:1 Sperling To Tell Story Of Festival At Beth-El Sunday School The story of Passover, the Jewish festival being observed for a week trough Tuesday. will be told to students Of the Beth-El Temple Sunday School by Isadore Sperling Sunday morning.
