He failed to take into account the s of his opposition. He's run them all to cover and as a result he now finds himself doing practically a solo when he steps out on the boards. As a further result, the world er will know what the 24-year-old hieh schooler might have done to the mile ark this winter had there been somebody to give him a race.

Three world records were broken, another equalled twice and two meet marks sent into the discard in a series of brilliant performances.

North-| western twice drew away to apparent- ly safe leads, only to have the Wol- verines fight back to a tie. The vic- tory was Northwestern's eighth of the campaign against two defeats, Purdue retained its margin over Northwestern in the standings, by an impressive 42 to 29 victory over In- diana at Bloomington. Johnny Wood- en gave Hoosier fans a look at some great shooting in running up 17 points. Indiana made a great fight, leading the Boilermakers, 25 to 23 at the half, but could not stall off Pur- due’s powerful finish. The victory was number seven in eight games for} Purdue. Wooden's performance bounced him | well into the lead for individual scor- ing honors, with 93 points, as Joe Rieff of Northwestern, who had held the lead since the opening of the sea- son, was held to two free throws at Ann Arbor. Reiff now is second with 86 points, one point ahead of Captain Norm Daniels of Michigan. Wisconsin climbed out of a tie for last place by defeating Chicago, 34 to 23, at Madison. Michigan's defeat dropped the Wolverines down to fifth place, while Indiana fell from a tie \for sixth, to seventh position.

Bowman County Maps Out Its Farm Program Bowman, N. D., Feb, 23.—(#)—Bow- man county mapped out its 1932 agri- cultural program at a joint meeting here of the board of county commis- sioners and the board of the Bowman county agricultural improvement as- sociation. Committees were appointed in the various communities to handle seed loan applications and a program of agricultural progress outlined for the coming year. The work will in many cases be a continuation of the pro- jects started last year under the di- rection of County Agent R. L. Olson. Chief among the recommendations were that swine, beef and dairy cat- tle, sheep and poultry demonstrations be held, and that more 4-H clubs be organized to promote improvement in aah line. A campaign will be con- ducted for pure seed, registration and inspection of fields, planting of al- falfa, for an increase in small grains, and for organization of more 4-H corn, potato, and homemakers clubs.

Gopher Athletic Director Ap- pears Certain to Accept Princeton Appointment Princeton, N. J., Feb, 23—(7)—Of- ficially Princeton university has not yet picked a successor to Al Wittmer as head football coach but unofficial- ly there seems to be little reason to doubt that H. O. (Fritz) Crisler, ath- letic director at the University of Minnesota, will be at the helm when the Tigers’ fall season rolls around. Crisler at Minneapolis, said he Probably would take the job, offered, he said, by President John Grier Hib- ben of Princeton via the telephone. He said he was awaiting arrival of a contract before definitely accepting. The attitude in official circles at Princeton, however, was definitely non-committal. “The matter is in the hands of the board of athletic control,” said Dr. Hibben. “And any statement must jcome from them. I believe, however, that they will have something to say in a few days. . Asked to comment on news dis- patches quoting Crisler as saying he had about decided to accept the job, Dr. Hibben said: “I don’t know anything about that but I am very happy to hear it, if it is 80.” Thurston J. Davies, supervisor of university sports, said, on behalf of the special committee considering the football situation, that “no official announcement about’ a football coach will be made until negotiations are completed.” This was interpreted in some quar- ters as meaning that Princeton would await definite acceptance by Crisler before commenting on or announcing ‘Wittmer’s successor. Wittmer’s five-year contract as head coach was broken late last fall after Princeton had gone through its most disastrous season. A victory over Amherst was the only triumph of the Tiger campaign. ——sOXS the sald Normal School at Valley City, as aforementioned, fifty thou- sand (50,000) acres, and said lands are hereby appropriated to said institu- tion for that purpose.
