ered the National Collegiate title un-
officially last week and will probably
make it official tomorrow or Satur-
day since N. C. A. A. titles can be
established only at the annual Na-
tional meet.
Medleyists Have Edge
Michigan and Northwestern are
scheduled to renew their feud in the
two relay events. The Wolverine
medley team composed of Capt.
Johnny Schmieler, Louis Lemak and
Bob Renner is given an edge by ex-
perts since it cracked the conference
mark to nose out the Wildcats last
week. Little is known about the East-
ern relay teams but the Western
teams seem definitely out of the pic-
ture, with no times anywhere near
this year's Big Ten marks.
Coach Matt Mann's usual ace in
the hole, Johnny Schmieler, who won
the National 200 yard breast strokc
and 220 titles two consecutive years
will compete on the two relay team,
and in one individual event, probably
the 100 yard free-style, in which he
was third at Chicago last week.
SCORING STAR
Joe Reiff, who set a conference
scoring record this year, also led the
Big Ten in scoring in 1931.
ROE REIFF wound up his college
basketball career with a new Con-
ference scoring record of 167 points,
including 53 field goals which is also
a new record. The total record was
formerly 154, set by Johnny Wooden
of Purdue while the latter record
was held by Bonnic Oosterbaan at 52
tid goals,
Joe got oif to a rather slow start
this year with only six points in the
opn1ingae against Illinois. He
tthe i n made, 11 against Purdue and 29
against Chicago. This tied the rec-
ord for points scored in one game.
His midscason average was not out-
standing. He accumulated 11 against
indiana and Minnesota. In the re-
ining five games he was able to
score 86 points for a total of 53 field
goa'',and 61 foul shots.
R1ei6 own teammate, Elmer John-
son was second with 114.' Johnson is
really better than most people think.
fle has been a regular for three years
and feared by yevery coach in the
Conference.
UIXOUGH the Boilermaker bask-
et II squad wvas forced to be con-
t 1t with a .500 rating in the season
just closed, Purdue still holds a neat
ltgd in the race for permanent pos-
ession of the Allerton Trophy, sym-
bolic of the Dig Ten championship.
This trophy will become the perm-
'nent possession of the school first
winning three points, an undisputed
title counting one point. Purdue has
1wo and one-half, Northwestern one
rind one-half, and Indiana, Michigan,
Wisconsin and Ohio State each claim
one-half point.

It's interesting to see how men who
haven't been in a clothing store for
months act here this spring. You see,
when they were last inside of a men's
store, good suits were $35 . . . quality
hats $7 . . . and now these same grade
suits are $19.50 and wonderful hats
are offered at $2.95 . . . and the dol-
lars they have saved act like a colt in
clover.
