February 27.—Four claimants to the crown today still urged their claims and prepared to de- fend them in pitched battle tonight when the semi-finals of the Southern Conference basket ball tournament mark the beginning of the end. University of Mississippl and Univer- sity of Kentucky, on one hand, and Alabama Polytechnic Institute and| Mississippl A. & M. on the other, are the institutions whose quints take the court tonight in skirmishes to determine which pair shall battle tomorrow night for the championship. ‘The four squads are reported in fine fettle, having consumed in diligent rest and recuperation the intervening day which gave them grace from the stress of eliminating the other teams which |entered strife with them last Friday. A day of rest for the teams was a day of retrospective survey for the fans who have flocked to the municipal audi- torium bere to view the matches so far, with upsets and close battle in abun- | dance. Ole Miss got away to a flying start | by putting away North Carolina State, then sprang a sizeable surprise in the |second round by a decisive defeat of |55 to 28 administered to Loulslana . the team which had furnished t-night upset by eliminating Uni- sity of North rolina, long a high- ranking name in Southern cage circles. Kentucky, flashing a five which has been a sensation of the meet, won its way by ‘disposing of South Carolina and Georgia. | Mississippt Aggies accounted for | Washington and Lee in the first round jand continued to eliminate Old Do- |minfon State contenders the next day by conquering University of Virginia. Auburn, prime favorite in pre-tourna- ment predictions, won the right to fight for a final post by two nerve-wracking one-point victories. The Plainsmen were hard put in the first round to | nose out Clemson, 27 to 26. and caught (another tartar Saturday night in Geor- {gia Tech, which crew the Auburnites dropped by a last-minute field goal that gave them a 30 to 29 margin.

The opening games in the race for the sorority title will be held tomorrow afternoon in the Forest Glen gymnasium. Play will continue through Thursday on the climination basis. Eight clubs are competing. Madeira School's basket ball sched- ule has been rotarded by work on the gymnasium, which has made it impos- sible to start the interclass games or | ! plan for the usual varsity conflicts. Ac- cording to Hazel Sayre, director, the basket ball program will not be aban doned, however, Schedules probably will be played off in March. Fairmont and Friends School squads are carded to meet Wednesday after- noon at 3 o'clock on the Epiphany floor in a game which should result in some close scoring. Intercollegiate swimming competition for the co-eds of George Washington will be Inaugurated April 21 at the Y. W. C.

Mrs. Virginia Hopkins Russell will hold work-outs each Tuesday afternoon and Friday evening until the week of the meet for the purpose of selecting the team to face Sullins. Positions are open to all women in the university car- rying the required amount of work for athletic competition, according to Mrs. Russell. Challenges have been received from | two other teams, the New York Uni- versity and Harrisonburg State Teach- crs’ College, but the limited swimming budget at G. W. made it necessary to refuse both of these. Another year it is hoped that the Colonials will be able ml arrange a more extensive tank sched- ule. Interclass swimming honors will be at stake later in the Spring with the class of '29 defending the laurels won by them first in 1926 and retalned last year. Princess Athletic Club basketers will play the Suburban Club sextet of Balti- more Sunday night at 2 o'clock in the Knights of Columbus gymnasium. A defi is made by the Princess six to any local squad in the senlor class for a game.tomorrow night. A meeting with the Eagles of Businels Night High School especially is desired. Rats Ma); Have Helped Con_ger To Annex Race With Peltzer BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, February 27.—Was it Ray Conger’s flock, or covey, | or ‘squad, or whatever it may be termed, of white rats which showed him how to add to his track prestige by being the first Ameri- can to defeat Dr. Otto Peltzer and then lower Lloyd Hahn's colors? It may well prove to have been so, in which case a scientific element has been added to track, perhaps to all competi- tive sports, of which coaches and train- ers never dreamed | Conger, it will be recalled, was gradu- ' ated from Iowa State, at Ames, last, June, having signalized his senior year as an athlete by winning the national | half-mile championship in the A. A. U.| games, at Lincoln. Makes Study of Diet. Well, last Fall he began post-graduate work at Ames and at the same time effort for a record which the Nebras- | entered upon an intensive study of the physical qualities that make one run- ner greater than another. In connec- tion with this, he assembled a number of white rats and devised a process of dieting them in different ways in an endurance. | If _anything interesting and valuable | in the way of results has been obtained from these experiments, Conger has not divulged it, nor has he hinted of any | connection between his researches and | his world-famous victory over the Ger- man philosopher. Conger, by the way, stands to beat anybody at his distance, rats or no rats. In his three years of varsity com- | petition at Ames he won the mile at| every Missouri Valley meet and usually the half mile, too. Certainly he seems to stand next to Hahn among American distance and middie-distance men. One well may wonder whether inti- mations coming from Dr. Peltzer that he is better at the half-mile or 800- uilding a coop 0 meter run than over longer distances are put forth with his tongue in his cheek. The fact remains that his vic- | tories over Wide and Paavo Nurmi were won over the 1,500-meter route, and he has turned in some stellar perform- ances at this distance in other events. May Settle Question. So. if he goes into the mile at the K. of C. games in New York on Feb- ruary 29 he may convince the public of something that track specialists who { have watched him are beginning to be- licve, which is that his style of run- ning is better adapted to long than to short distances. ‘Whether he runs in the Casey mile or not will make no difference so far as Lloyd Hahn's plans to try to lower the world record for this distance are concerned. Early in the Winter Jack Rider of the Boston Athletic Club an- nounced that the only really determined kan would make in the indoor season would be in the Casey mile feature At that time there was no intimation ‘that Dr. Peltzer would appear as a rival and the dope was that Hahn would run against the watch. doing a fast half. coasting a bit through the third quarter | and then slamming through to the fin-| Ish with all the stuff he can summon It is said that whether or not Peltzer runs in this event, Hahn will negotiate the distance in accordance with the above scheme, or some other as de- vised by his coach.
