Michigan university's crack mile combination which shattered the Big Ten record this winter will be the favorite, with Marquette, Pitts burgh, Indiana and Purdue enter ing strong competition. Marquette with the Negro star, Ralph Metcalfe, running anchor position, has a speedy team. A host of prominent thinly clads will run in the same event for Indiana university. Fuqua, Hornbostel.

Metcalfe holds the world's indoor record in the forty, fifty, sixty and seventy yard dashes.

Shields and Suiter Clash R)t I n’lril Press NEW YORK, March 17.—Clifford Sutter, No. 3 In the national rank ings, and Francis Shields, the former Davis Cup star, who has flashed the most brilliant form of the tourney, were opposed today in the singles semi-final of the national indoor tennis championships. Although this match is regarded as the feature of semi-final play, plenty of action was expected in the semi-final encounter of Gregory S. Mangin, defending champion, against Sidney B. Wood. Off The Backboard RY VERN ROXFI i r |“' WENTY-THREE thousand dol- X lars worth of basketball will be played at Butler field house to day and Saturday. That's how much cash the Indi ana High School Athletic Associa tion will put back into circulation. That’s why, a few days back, some doubt was expressed the big show would go on as originally scheduled. It requires approximately $23,265 to stage the Hoosier scholastic two day cage championship carnival. And that’s a pretty penny, with or without the return of beer, pros perity and soaring stocks. There was a minor agitation in recent weeks to slash the price of tourney tickets from $3 to $2, but a glance at the records in A. L.

This includes $72 for meals, $72 for lodging, a S3OO bonus and twelve tickets at $3 each. For six teen competing teams, this totals $7,680. This doesn't include the transpor tation costs, which were $1,189.44 for last year and will be practically the same this year. Five officials were paid $375 last year. Another $2,900 is expended for miscellaneous items, including the field house help, printing of tickets etc. Anew item will be added to the expenses this year. The seating ca pacity has been increased by 1,120. For every seat sold in these new bleachers, Butler will collect’ sl.

PETERSBURG. Fla., March ; 17.—Babe Ruth and his boss, Colonel Jacob Ruppert, had a St. Patrick's ! day appointment to discuss the ! ‘paring of the green”—the shear -1 ing of $25,000 in long green from Ruth s 1932 salary. The Babe arranged the conference and told the press he would be ! willing to sign for $55,000. But Herr Ruppert said if his fa mous right fielder did any signing I it would be fore the original $50,000 ! offered in the 1933 contract. ‘‘Why,” said the colonel, ‘550,000 is a guaranteed 5 per cent income on a million dollars. And that’s some income in these days.” Their previous conference was Monday, but they made no progress. Meanwhile, citizens of St. Peters burg have been bringing pressure on both for another meeting, hop ; ing to have the Babe signed before many more exhibition games are | played. The absence of baseball’s greatest j drawing card from games is affect ing the gate. The Chamber of Com j merce would like to have the Babe in the games for the benefit of the visitors, and, moreover, because the j chamber guarantees the Yanks a certain amount of expenses for the ! season. The deficit caused by poor gates must be made up by that or ganization. Yesterday the Babe took his usual workout at Huggins’ field in the forenoon with several other Yanks, but remained away from Waterfront park for the game with the Braves in the afternoon. Any eighth grade student can tell you quicker than you can say “Backboard is picking Greencastle”; that approximately $19,335 goes into the I. H. S, A. A. coffers after the tourney. It isn’t generally known, but this is the only income of any importance on the I. H. S. A. A. books. Just like football carries the athletic burden in the colleges, so must Indiana’s basketball championship finals care for all other expenses of the I. H S. A. A. Commissioner Trester’s salary, his ' secretary’s salary, office mainten ance and expenses for board of con- | trol members traveling to and from executive sessions, are only a few of the items. More important is the fact that j without basketball, there could be no track and field championships, no prep golf championship tourna ments, In 1932, the Indiana high school outdoor and indoor track champion ships went approximately $3,000 into the red. The outdoor event cost the I. H. S. A. A. $1,275 and the indoor carnival $1,651. These losses are paid out of the fund created by the annual cage championships. The golf tournament lost $240 in 1932. The swimming meet also is recorded in red ink. 000 IT generally is believed the I. FI. S. A. A. takes a big cut out of the sectional and regional touraments which precede the big classic. This year, sixty of sixty-four sectionals have reported to date, and the total amount collected by the association is SIOB. One tourney paid in seven j cents, and many others less than sl. | Eight of the sixteen regionals played last Saturday have paid in j approximately SI,OOO. Two of the | eight didn’t earn a cent for the I. ; H. S. A. A. After the remaining eight make their reports, the total will not exceed $2,000 and probably will be less. These figures, all from the office i of the I. H. S. A. A., demonstrate j rather conclusively that Indiana’s ! biggest indoor sports event is not i strictly a money making scheme. ; The profits which were accrued I during the first twenty-two I. FI. S. j A. A. cage tournaments were di- I vided among the 800 member schools who pay $1.50 annually to belong, in October, 1932. A sinking fund of j SIOO,OOO was invested in government j bonds. The remaining $40,000 was ! divided among the schools on an ! enrollment basis plan, This plan will be followed in the future. The tournaments belong to the high school. 000 A ND when you talk of reducing tourney ticket prices, remem ber they have been $3 for years, even during the boom years, when it would have been just as easy to collect $5. In fact, there are many fans who paid $lO and S2O to scalp ers who probably could use the cash ! now. So, if you’re a sideliner at the field house today or Saturday, have a good time—s23,26s worth.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES Dodgers to Inaugurate Patriotic Beer Drinking in Big Leagues BY JOE WILLIAMS Xew York World-Tclftram Sports Editor MIAMI, March 17.—Stirred by national ardor and civic pride, members of the Brooklyn baseball club will hold a formal keg party one night this week to in dulge in a soiree of patriotic beer drinking. Since the business of guzzling has been placed on a patriotic basis. Joseph Giileaudeau, who is down here looking after the financial and social phases of the club, feels that the Brooklyns should set the pace, staggered though it may be. This is the first time in the mem ory of the world's oldest reporter that the management of a baseball club has called its athletes together in the midst of a spring training season and compelled them to tear into the foamy stuff or suffer the consequences, which in this instance probably would mean disfranchise ment or banishment from the country. I am told that Giileaudeau enter tains no fears about the loyalty or gallantry of the Brooklyns and that he is confident when the call comes to advance with unsheathed steins S There’s QUALITY and SERVICE in These New Men’s All-Wool j| M Mill'S 311'll i Topcoatsjß| Ay res’ Downstairs Store aHM gHDK jg&s mm Now Carries a Fine Line of 11 I hL. m War Men’s Shoes WmK Offering Exceptional Quality M\ 2 Our new all-wool suits for spring have just Aw 0* mm arrived—snappy suits—well tailored in latest U 1 1“% fashion—suits that fit well and look good!
