BLOOMINGTON, mnd., Dec. 10 --
4Nothing but tough meat is in pros-
pect for Indiana in its winter and
1 sprJng sports campaign, acerrding to
1ichedules now completed or nearly
completed for basketball, track,
wrestling, and baseball.
The Crimson of Indiana wil; fly
from Chicago to Birmingham in the
!outh and from Texas to Cleveland
and on to Europe, if Indiana's track
athletes are successful in their com-
petition for the Olympic team.
The winter sports program, opening
here tonight with the Franklin-Indi-
ana basketball game, will gain speed
from now on with the completion of
Pre-conference basketball games. Wa-
bash comes here Dec. 17, Coe, here
Dec. 20, and Indiana meets Cincin-
nati at Cincinnati Dec. 21. All of these
non-conference outfits have gained
! note for their ability to knock off
-ig Ten teams in early season games,
which means that Everett Dean's
greenhorn outfit will have to step to
win games prior to the first Big Ten
contest here Jan. 7 with Chicago. In-
diana will have five conference games
this semester and seven next semes-
ter and will meet all the Big Ten
aggregations with the exception of
Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Northwes-
tern. These three teams are rated
among the weaker conference basket-
ball contenders for 1927-28.
Indiana's wrestling schedule opens
here Dec. 19 with Monmouth, and in-
cludes meets with Ohio university, .
Ohio State, Northwestern, Purdue,
Michigan, the Big Ten sectional, and
the Western Conference individital
championships. Two more meets: may
be added.
Track Coach E. C. Hayes has.about
cdmpleted a schedule which opens for
indoor cindermen on Jan. 21 at CLi-
cago and closes Mar. 24 at the Cleve-
land Athletic club relays. Seven meets
are on the indoor schedule.

HAWKEYE FIVE DRILLS t
FOR NOTRE DAME GAME!
IOWA CITY, Dec. 10.-More than
flashes of power will have to be shown:
if the University of Iowa basketball
team is to win the first victory in
Hawkeye history over PrsNotre- Dame
quintet here next Monday.
With this in mind, Coach Sam Barry
is unravelling some of the kinks which
slowed his team's offense and the de-
fense lapses which allowed the Knox
quintet eight baskets in the opening
game.
The Iowans won, 30 to 21, and at
times their passing and team-work,
was after the February pattern. Other-
wise, ragged December form was too
much in evidence, Coach Barry be-
