S. gym, 51 to 35. The Oldstnobil s stepped into an eafly lead and at the half held a La point margin. 30 to 15. The Rochester team probably is the best team ever appearing on the 1) eutiir floor, with the exc plion of American league chibs, and they defeated the G. E. club with apparent ease, never seeming forced at any stage of the gam . - Their passing and handling of the ball was too much for the locals and seldom could the Decatur five penetrate the Rochester do tense for pot shots At on time in the second half. Deia'ur did pi-’l up to within ten points of tin* Olds I mobiles, but the visitors put on more pressure and pulled away with apparently little difficulty. Garvin and Seigel were the leading scorers for Rochesti r with 16 and 15 points, respectively. Selgel,: who played floor guard for the j visitors, was the keystone of the) Oldsmobile play, both on attack and .defense. The team seemed considerably weaker when Seigel Was removed on personals in the

second half. jTiny Horton was easily the outstanding star for the G. E. duh.

WARFARE LOOMS I IN MIDDLE WEST By Dixon Stewart. VP. Staff Correspondent Chicago, Jan. 23. (U.R>- Things Were far from being all quiet on j the western front of football today.. Instead of experiencing its custom ) , ary seasonable apathy, broken only by reformers, football is furnishing | s' rlous problems at five prominent | mill-western schools. Indiana University is the scene of a bitter controversy between H. (). (Pat) Page, former head foot-., i ball coach, hud the athelic board , of control. Page, who was'forced , to lesign. claims his contract hasp lanoth r year to run and is threat-ii I ening to sue the university forp $16,750 in payment of his contract. 1 1 School officials deny Page’s) claim and have named a new head; coach. They say Page worked milder an annual contract and refuse > Ito pay the $12,500 which Page I claims is due him for the 1931 sea-i* son. The situation is complicated 1 iby an alleged dual contract which ' provided that part of Page's salary 1 was to be paid by the alumni group, 1 which forced the coach's retire-) 8 ment. Rumors that the alumni 4 'slush| fund" also was used to n.L’fact ath-; letes to Indiana, n’ty result in al complete wc/iv.rn conference in- 1 vestigajicn of conditions, similar to tj./t of two years ago at lowa. I Hiwa's investigation and subse-l fquent suspension from conference I I athletics now promises further dis-j I Acuities for the Hawkeye institution. Charges printed by th Cedar Rapids Gazette that university | President Walter Jessup was re- t sponsible for lowa's "slush fund" <. I have been presented to the state i 'legislature and a legislative in- i >vestigation of the conduct of the t I university is in prospect. I Marquette University entered the t ■football warfate yesterday with ' t I Coach Prank J. Murray's statement, that officials of the United Stat s i military academy at West Poifit' ' ■ had attempted to "recruit" Mar- ’ quette football players. Murray I < said he had been approached by- ! Army scouts last fall and urged to ; • influence Francis Deig, Marquette ; • fullback, to seek appointment top I West Point. "The chief spokesman, a former I , I Army football player, intimated,” I said Murray, "that the Plebe class ‘of football players was none too, j I promising and that as long as some) colleges were busy rounding up I, football talent the academy had to i ’ do the same." Two other universities—Wiscon-1, sin and Ohio State —are engaged in, I defending football coaches from > alumni and stud nt attacks. Reappointment of Glen Thistleth-' waife has the support of the stui dent body and university officials I I but the alumni group is dissatis- | fled and is continuing sniping tac-1 tics. | j o— — HOUSE MEMBERS OPPOSE RELIEF (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE I with a motion to send the disput- , ed measure to conference. The committee also voted down a | proposal by Rep. Taylor, Dem., Colo | that the $25,000,0000 be voted to President Hoover and that he do as he saw fit with it. There was no standing vote on this.

, i (By Pete Reynolds) — — Well, well, well, the wolves are) jut it again Once more efforts are'l i being made to scalp his royal I j highness, the grand mogul of Indi-1 ana high school basketball, Arthur I, L. Trester. 000 I Two hills have been prepared for! ; the Indiana legislature, either of|. i which, if passed, would eliminate; Mr. Trester and the Indiana high ' school athletic association. 000 One bill, introduced by Senator Kehoe from Jeffersonville, would place all control of athletics in | .the state directly under the hoard of education. The other, snonsor-l ed hv Senator Friedley, of Muncie,) I would create a hoard. of seven ] I members, headed by the state ? • superintendent of public instrtlCII ion. 000 They'll fool around and get] 'Trester’s scalp and then what a[mess there will be. The writer' hasn't and doesn't agree with. i everything Trester does and says' I but has always been willing to say) I 'hat Arthur L. has handled the job i • in miehty fine shape, considering | ih“ difficulty of administering the I athletic affairs of hundreds of high < schools yearly. t 000 i To tell the truth, it is the |1 writer's candid opinion that i these attempts to oust Trester 1 are merely the efforts of a few I < soreheads in ithe communities , ’ where these bills originated. They have a ‘crow’ to pick 11 with Trester and are trying to ,1 get the legislature to even the I < score for them. '' 000 i i We believe that the senators in-? trodueing the bills are entirely ,< sincere in their proposals. There' is no doubt that the present regime i in high school athletics is not|l exactly satisfactory. But we do 1 believe that these men have let ’ themselves in for much criticism ■ which they do not deserve. 000 ' You won't have to turn back I many issues of this paper to learn I why Jeffersonville should want to i . oust Trester. Jeffersonville was i I suspended from the I. H. S. A. A. i on'y this week for alleged infrac- I tions of the rules. Not merely one j infraction, but several. 000 As to the bill emanating from : I Muncie, that is a different ques-, tion. Can't recall anything happening recently that would offend , the Muncie crowd, but seem to j recollect that Muncie was pretty) ' sore last year because they were not allotted a half or two-thirds of I the tickets to the finals of the' state tourney. 000 The writer has met Trester and heard him speak several times. I have great admiration for Trester personally, consider him a fine character, although he has said and done things which it was impossible | for me to agree with. But because I have always felt Trester was sincere in his opinions and beliefs and because he has always had the courage of his convictions, the writer is for him to the last ditch.

A THREE DAYS’ COUGH IS YOUR DANGER SIGNAL

Coughs from colds may lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomubion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a medical discovery with two-fold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and inhibits germ growth. Os all known drugs creosote is recognized by high medical authorities as one of the greatest healing agencies for coughs from colds and bronchial irritations. Creomulsion contains, in ddition to creosote, other healing

RECOVER BODIES FROM INDIANA COAL MINE <CnNTINI'FH FROM PAC.F ONE'I first believed to have been in a car of ]M>wder that had been trundled into the workings from the shaft, but rescuers soon learned the error of their assumption. Those imprisoned had no chance to save themselves, but many miners on the fringe of the explosion area made their way to the shaft, nearly a mile distant, and were hauled 270 feet to the surface. Alxmt 150 men were working in the section where the explosion occurred, but only some two-score were in the area of greatest danger. The first intimation of the horror to be revealed, came when Don Burris and Earl Bedwell, both j of Dugger, were hoisted to the surface. Bedwell was burned horribly, and died a few hours later. Burris wae only gassed, and was expected to recover. Emergency treatment for miners and rescuers was provided in Freeman Greene County hospital, I Linton, where cots and bedding were provided quickly by merch-1 ants. The congregation about the mine was silent and stoical. They wore, for the most part, already inured to the lesser tragedies of drought and the famine brought about by unemployment. The antics of fate were well portrayed in this disaster. Had the explosion occurred 15 minutes earlier the death toll might have been numbered above a hundred, and if it had occurred five minutes later, probably not a fatality would have resulted. Men were just leaving the west woikings, and a large majority of them were out of the danger area, when the “burning cyclone" struck. While veteran miners, many of 1 whom had experienced similar ) disasters before, organized rescue : work at the Little Betty shaft, the Linton citizens took charge of relief work in the city. In both instances work went on through the night without thought of rest. Sullivan, Ind.. Jan. 29—(U.K) — Death of more than a score of miners in the Little Betty mine near Linton last night recalled to this section the last previous major disaster of its kind in Indi- [ ana, in which 51 persons were | killed. A thunderous explosion in the

elements which soothe and heal the inflamed membranes and stop the irritation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs, Cseomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of coughs from colds, bronchitis and minor forms of bronchial irritations, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or flu.
