U. in Need of Hurlers. | Members of Georgetown Universit bas> ball squad will get first opportunity | to show their wares under fire Saturday [if the weather permits. Coach Larry Kopf plans then to stage a practice game. Drills in the fundamentals have {made up the program for the Hoya | aspirants thus far. | Kopf is looking to the campaign with | optimism. He believes that in Johnny | Dunn, shortstop of last Spring's fresh- { man team, he has a capable player for |} Ithis post on the varsity. This is the only gap on the team, though Kopf has let it bs known that a tentative first team will not be picked until the latter ! part of next week. He emphasizes that no player has clinched a position. Burch and Gillespie, veterans, are ex- | pected to do most of the mound work for the Blue and Gray. but Coach Kopf is striving to develop one or two more | fiingers for regular duty. With a 34- | game schedule Gerorgetown University |is_cortain to need plenty of pitching strength, it is realizad by the Hoya mentor. While valunable men from various de- partments have boen lost from the 1927 Catholic University nine, it is the pitching staff which is causing Coach | Charley Moran most worry. If he can round out a fairly strong hill corps Moran feels that his problem will not be nearly so serious. Leading aspirants | for mound duty include Bonomo, Ryan and Conley, of last Spring's varsity, and Jioffre of th» 1927 freshmen nine. Fo- ley. Long and Harvey of the basket ball squad are expected to join Catholic University diamond squad this week. 'WISCONSIN WILL FINISH ITS BIG ATHLETIC PLANT MADISON.

KOLEHMAINEN 0UT OF OVERLAND RACE Strained Tendon Puts Finn: Aside—Wantinen Leading on Time Basis. By the Associated Pross. BARSTOW, Calif, March 8.—The Marathon runners blazing a trail across | the continent, turned their backs upon | civilization today to plunge still deeper into the Mojave Desert. | A tiny water hole was the objective | today of the 150-odd contestants seck- ing a part of the $48,500 offered win- | ners of the 3,400-mile grind from Los | Angeles to New York City. The sur-| vivors of this lap will camp tonight at Mojave Wells, 31 miles from here. ‘Ten miles out from Barstow the pave- ment ends. Graveled roadway, soft in | spots, meets the foot from that time on 1t is in general a rocky route, dropped | steadily down toward sea level. | Today's line-up of starters lacked | many of those who participated in yes- terday's lap. Most noted of the missing | were Willle Kolehmainen and Gunnar | | Nielsen, Finnish speedsters, who gave up the struggle on yesterday's 36-mile desert grind. | Kolehmainen, favored entry of the | ! for the first two days, strained a tendon. CHOICE OF He made a valiant effort to keg in the race, but was forced out affer three miles. It was a hard blow to the sturdy Finn, who stood at the finish line here last night, watching others cross, and then boarded a train for New York. Nielsen was forced out because of swol- len tendons and arches. He will leave for the East in a few days. Then at a late hour was added the name of Nicholas Quamawahu, Hopi In- dian from Arizona, who having spant most of his Iife in desert country, was; expected to increase his lead over the rest of the pack. First cramps halted | the loping Redskin, but he doggedly continued on. ‘Then a sprained ankle caused him to return to Victorville, and it was not | known by officials whether he would | continue. He was privileged, however, to resume by returning to the spot where he suffered his injury and start | from there. | ‘The smallest entrant in the race, Olli | Wantinen, 96-pound Finnish runner, won the honor of having the lowest total elapsed time for the 133 1-10 miles | between here and Los Angeles. While | he was beaten yesterday by two others. | his time of 5 hours 26 minutes and 40 | seconds gave him a total of 19:15:42, to lead the field. | Ed Gardner. Seattle negro. paced the field in the fourth lap. negotiating the | windswept stretch in 5 hours 15 min- utes and 30 seconds. Arthur Newton, 44-year-old British athlete, finished sec- ond in 5 hours 25 minutes. i The leaders in elapsed tim» follow: | 1—Ollie Wantinen, Finland, 19:15:42. | 2—Ed Gardner, Seattle, Wash.| 19:17:56. ! 3—Nester Ericksen, Finland, 19:20:32. | 4—Arthur Newton, England. 19:40:30 5—J. Salo, Passale, N. J., 20:49:20. 6—Andrew Payne, Claremore, Okla., 7—Arne Soumenin, Finland. 21:09:20. THE M EDWARDS IS SPEEDY, ALTHOUGH HE IS ILL el By the Associated Press. NEW YORK. March 8.—When Phil Edwards, sensational negro middle-dis- tance star of New York University, and one of the outstanding competitors of the indoor season, raced anchor on the university’s winning two-mile relay team in the intercollegiate champion- ships last Saturday night he had a slight fever and a cold, but he turned in 1 minute and 55 3-5 seconds for his half mile to win by 20 yards from Dart- mouth and Georgetown. Today Edwards has the measles and is out of further competition for the Winter. The iliness, now so serious that he has been confined to his bed, may prevent his competing in further races before the Olympics, in which he will represent Canada. Edwards is s citizen of British Guiana. He was scheduled to race Lloyd Hahn, American ace, in an 880-yard run in Hamilton, Ontario, March 21. GORE AND ADAMS SCORE, BUT LATER ARE BEATEN PALM BEACH.
