At the conclusion of the first game ywtertlav, Butler's huge field house ! n s jammed with a cheering mass of persons. It was estimated that more I than sixteen thousand persons clogged the structure when Technical of i Indianapolis met Vincennes in the second game of the afternoon session. Probably the most serious upset of the entire first round came when f*"ashington defeated Muncie, defend- ! inc champions, 31 to 24 in the final | game of the first round. I The Washington team, lead by its 1 h’egro renter, Dejernet, completely outplayed the last year’s champions. The Bearcats appeared badly off form hi their shooting, missing many easy shots under the basket while Washington hit th? hoop with uncanny ability. Washington employed a fast breaking defense which appeared to bewilder the Bearcats. The Martinsville-Bedford contest, both teams, pre-tournament favorites, was the most closely fought game of the first round, it requiring an extra fire minute period to decide the winner. Martinsville, with a seven point lead at the end of the first half, weakened in the last period, and allowed Bedford to tie the score and win out in the overtime period 31 to H. Horace Mann, Gary, perhaps the heaviest quintet in the tourney, routel Kokomo. 29 to 22, after getting away to a bad start. The northerners presented one of the smoothest offensives seen in the first round. Technical, of Indianapolis, defeated lincennes, 23 to 17, in a contest replete with action. The lead switched back and forth several times until Just before the end of the game when Tecnnical accounted for a host of baskets, which the Alices could not overcome. Frankfort, another pre-tournament avwite, experienced little difficulty- « disposing of Columbia City, 43 to h The former quintet apparentlv uni not extend itself. folumbtLs after being behind a point at the end of the first half back strn^V V " h Logans P° r t. camo 32 to on E 7' ‘ e last l* riod t 0 win «en ng a C ° lumblls five - pre'•’“XX er s '“' conpeu "“ a"-'<l- O l u° rt Wayne ’ 80me - Bey, elimL, h ° rSe " in the tourease. 44 to I<T th apparent ed to exnerL he S ° Uth Siders fail ' from its sm .n Ce muc!l opposition m its smaller opponents.

The Irish Free State and the six northern counties, for once in away will agree that everything must be done to celebrate it fittingly. The people of the Irish Free State will make special efforts in this direction for they have reason to congratulate themselves on the marked progress which the country has made since the last national festivities from the political, economic and social point of view. The executive council, at the, head of which is President William T. Cosgrave, has won the confidence of the vast majority of the citizens because of the courageous manner in winch they have tackled the economic and political problems of the state during the past few years, and especially during the period since last St, Patrick's Day. Peace and Orderliness An outstanding feature of the government's achievements is the establishment of peace and orderliness throughout the Free State- Though political reconcilliation has not yet been brought about between the government party, that is, Cumann na Ngaedheal. and Eamon DeCalera's party, Fainna Fail the entry of the

Personally I do not look for another of the runaway campaigns such as carried the Yankees more than a dozen games out in front by mid summer last year Moreover. I have a profound hunch that the business of beating Miller Hugginss club during the coming season will not be as difficult as it has been. And if Col. Jake Ruppert will bet me a barrel of his best against a lemon phosphate Iwill name him a team that will head his fast-fading Yankees to the wire in the 1929 race.

latter Into the Dall, whereby they adopted the constiution of the Free State created a great sense of relief and satisfaction among all classes of the people. This return to normal conditions was officially marked iu 1928 by the repeal of the Public Safety Act (passed -lifter the assassination of VicePresident O’Higgins, Minister for Justice, in July 1927). which placed In the hands of the executive council powers to suspend the constitution, abolish trial by jury and substitute military tribunals for trial of serious offences of a political character. The measure was to remain in force for five years Serious political crime, however, has been unknown for more than twelve months, and that the government should have felt secure in removing the measure from the statute book after one and a half years, evidences in eloquent fashitffl the manner in which they gripped the situation. In the economic sphere 1928 has bpen a year of very hard work. It has marked the beginning of a perioil when measures promoted by the gov-

Mar. 16 —(U.R)— Some say that marriages are made in heaven, but. in Jugoslavian peasant communities there is something decidedly earthly abonti them. What such nuptials lack in daintiness in these communities often finds compensation on the pronning feastboards. If there is romance in food, then the recent wedding of Anton Seidl, 19. i farmer’s son, and Theresa Schwarzer, - 16, in this village, was lyrical. Although the young bride and groom invited 550 guests to their wedding, several hundred! uninvited spectators came. All these guests not only came, but remained for a week, during which the marriage festivities assumed the character of an eating marathon. An orchestra of SO gypsjes played moaning, sighing folksongs, day and night, while the
