FIELD 1 GOALS £* J zPn. By zo Mark M. Upp Tonight will mark the end of the regular season for a majority of the high schools of, the state. Most of ho. e that do not play their last game tonight, will wind up their schedule tomorrow night. The Yellow Jackets are all set to end their season tonight with a victory over Auburn, but that victory more than likejy will be plenty tough to win. If advance dope runs tine, this will be a great game with which to end a great season. OLD MAN WINTER IS MAKING A STRENUOUS EFFORT TO STICK IT OUT AS LONG AS KING BASKETBALL. NICE COMEBACK, TODAY, OLD MAN. The Catholic high Commodores will have to go at, top speed for the full forty; minutes tonight to put over a win on tlie C.C.H.S. quintet. We don't know of a much tougher outfit ‘o beat on their home floor than the Commodores’' opponents tonight. But it can be done, eh, Commodores? Homer Stonebraker, the old war horse of basketball, who was turned loose by the Fort Wayne Hoosiers, recently, with a “has been” tag tied to him, led the Chicago Bruins to their first victory in the second half of the American League race last night, beating Cleveland, 29-24. Homer made 15 of the 29 points scored by the Bruins. Old Stoney still has some mighty good basketball left inside his elongated frame. After meeting the Yellow Jackets here tonight, the Auburn sharpshooters will move over to Bluffton for a •ante with the Tigers on Saturday night. The Bluffton Tigers play at Pot'.land tonight. Ts sou get too anxious before the ■- * ■" • " • ■ evening, just cal’ 1000 after noon and you can learn who plays who in the sectional tournament here March 4 and 5. Rip Offs, in the Bluffton News, bemoaned the fact yesterday that our column was abbreviated on Wednesday and he didn't have much of a chance to use his scissors. Then, he turns around and leaves us in a hole by calling quits on his column yesterday with only about six inches of dope. Ever hear about the Golden Rule, Rippy? It's a cruel, cruel world. At least, 't is for George Purcell, columnist de luxe for the Bloomington World. The Bloomington Panthers are taking ’ickings right an left. The Indiana University quintet gets crocked right when George thinks the Crimson is headed for the conference championship, his campaign against Les'-er “Bad Boy" Reynolds, of Martinsville, v.-a-i a flop and it looks as though George was going to have to pick some dark horse to root for in the state tourney.

IMcNARY-HAUGHEN BILL FOR FARM RELIEF IS KILLED <CO\TI\I'F'.I» I’llOM PAGE OXR) in some regions should bo penalized for the benefit of those in otherj regions. "It lias been represented that this j hill has been unanimously approved's by our farmers. Several of our larg-1 - ,t. farm organizations have refused| to support it ami important minorities in the organizations recorded as endorsing it have protested tn nte aga'inst it." The President In his closing paragraph suggested the passage of other farm legislation now before congress, and again reviewed his recommendation that some conservative measure be passed. Tlie President, said pressure for the bill rises pt'marily from sympathy for the farmers' distress brought about by after-war speculation and col'apse. While conceding the huge amount cf public opinion favoring the measure, the President expressed belief that the final judgement of American farmers would oppose the McNaryHaugen bill. “What the farmers want and the American people as a whole will approve is legislation which will not substitute governmental bureaucracy for individurZ and cooperative ini'lative. but will facilitate the constructive efforts of the farmers themselves in their own self-governed organization,” the President said. Washington. Feb. 25. (United Press) - President Coolidge’s veto of the Me-, Nary-Hangen farm relief bill definitely kills that measure and no effort will be made to pass it over his veto. Farm l loe leaders of congress privately admitted defeat as soon as the President’s message of veto came to the Senate.

Last night they identified themselves as Henry H. Atkinson, sophomore at Waynesburg, Pa., college and the son of an Elgin, 111., doctor, ami George E. Webb, high school senior also from Elgin. They ate the customary type of young s udents, given to extremes in st/es and heavily pomaded hair. When arrested they assumed a careless nonchalance and readily admitted the holdup of the theater, eight other holdups in northern Illinois and the theft of at least twelve motor cars. “It was the love of adventure,” Atkinson said. “Wo wanted a thrill. The money was just incidental. And it all was very easy.” After they had confessed they said they wanted to “go to the pen and start serving a sentence.” o ‘ Rose Marie” Coming To The Shrine Auditorium Arthur Hammerstein’s enchanting “Rose Marie" will be seen at the Shrine Auditorium, Foit Wayne, from Sunday to Tuesday.
