Indians Seeking
To Settle Account
With Cardinals
With the El Reno highschool In-
dians entering the now-or-never
juncture in their campaign for
basketball laurels, the Tribe will
square off against Oklahoma City

non-conference match at 8 p. in. to-

Cardinals Cause Trouble
The Indians, victorious in 12 of
their 17 starts thus far in the
season, will be seeking to even the
score with the Cardinals who shaded
the Tribe 30-27 at Oklahoma City
Feb. 7.
Recognized as one of the better
caging crews in the Oklahoma City

row against the Indians. Schooled
by Clarence Brelthaupt, now serving

forces.
Dry leuders held a conference in
the house lounge, then scattered
through the legislative halls button-
holing legislators who voted yester-
day to revive the repeal resolution
which had been virtually killed two
weeks ago.
The repeal issue was rcsusticated in
a surprise move yesterday. In rou-
tine procedure intended to expunge
the Shlpley-Ozuiun resolution from
the house records, the measure was
given new life after three roll calls—
taken amid tlie greatest confusion
seen in state legislative halls in
years|
First Vole Is Tic
The first roll call came on a mo-
tion to table another motion to re-
consider the previous vote killing
the repeal resolution. Williams made
tlie tabling motion which, if it had
carried, would have precluded the
house's consideration of repeal again
at the 21st session. Suiprisingly, a
46-46 tie vote resulted. Another dry
straggled hi and was allowed to
vole to table the motion, giving
the drys a 47-46 edge.
But because of the confusion fol-
lowing, the chamber voted to set
aside the roll call and hold another.

ALTOONA, PA., Feb. 18 —(iP)—
Coroner Daniel Replogle of Altoona
said that “at least 20 were killed”
In a wreck of the Pennsylvania
railroad’s "Red Arrow,” Detrolt-to
New York passenger train, 10 miles
west of here early today.
The coroner said that 17 bodies
had been taken out of the wreck,
which occurred when the train
Jumped the track and sent the
two engines, mall car, baggage car,
coach, and two sleepers plunging
down the embankment, overturned
the diner and two sleepers and de-
railed three other sleepers.
The dead Included three members
of the four-man engine crews—
Engineman M. E. McCardle of
Scottdale, Pa., Fireman R. H.
Henry of Derry, Pa. and Fireman
J. M. Parasok of Altoona.
A Pennsylvania railroad spokes-
man esthnated "around 80 persons”
were Injured.
Tlie wreck of the Detroit-New
York sleeper occurred at 2:25 a.
in. (Oklahoma time.) The scene
was about two miles west of
"Horseshoe curve," known to thous-
ands for Its beautiful view down a
mountain valley.
Hospital Overrun
The injured were rushed to hos-
pitals at Altoona, where attend-
ants became so busy they couldn’t
count the casualties. Mercy and
Altoona hospitals later reported
they had a total of 85 casualties
and more were arriving.
; The accident' disrupted all rail-
road telephone communication In
the area, the spokesman said, in-
creasing the difficulty of obtain-
ing Information and details.
1 The “Red Arrow" is one of the
Pennsylvania's crack passenger
trains. It had eight sleepers, one
{diner, one coach and the rest
baggage and mall cars.
The train was speeding downhill
through the Allegheny mountains
an hour and six minutes behind
schedule.
Railroad officials feared the toll
would rise. Recue workers, using
acteylene torches, cut through a
maze of girders, Jammed doors and
broken compartments seeking dead
and injured.
Cause Undetermined
Railroad officials said determina-
tion of the cause of the derailment
must await completion of the res-
cue task and examination of
wrecked equipment and ripped out
rails.
A 14-car hospital train, loaded
with all available nurses and doc-
tors arrived at the scene. Many
of the injured wrere reported in ex-
tremely serious condition.
Arriving here, most of the vic-
tims appeared duzed and unable
to talk.
Two following trains, the Trail
Blazer enroute from Chicago to
New York and the Jeffersonian
running from St. Louis to New
York, stopped at the scene to pick
up injured and bring them here.
Tracks were ripped for nearly a
mile, it was reported, indicating
that the double-header train was
traveling at high speed. Ralls, tele-
phone poles nnd wire were wrap-
ped in the wreckage of the cars.
Car doors were Jammed shut and
rescue workers were forced to use
acetylene torches to cut their way
through tire buckled steel. •
