PLAYERS MUST BE EXAMINED With basketball raging at fever heat from one end of the state to the other, the Publicity Bureau oi the Indiana State Medical AssoclaticHi issued a bulletin today commenting favorably upon the custom o the Indiana High School Athletic Association to safe-gnat<t the health of the many thousands of Hoosier boys and girls who are playing this great game by requiring each participant to undergo a thorough physical examination. "Basketball Is a great game, it s-'es deep into the heart and sold of almost every physically fit Hoosier and when the contests are properly c ontrolled, no harm should come as it is played in Indiana under the direction of the trained coaches, in well equipped gymnasiums with competent officials before sportsmanlike audiences," says the bulletin of the medical associa lion, "The medical profession of Indiana long has advocated the habit o. annual periodic health examinations for all persons and believes that if the physical examinations are made almost every chance will be eliminated at anyone playing competitive basketball who is not in physical condition to take part in the game. “The Indiana High School Athletic Association’s ruling in regaid W these physical examinations which has been in effect since 1927 says in part: “ ‘Each student participating in inter-school basketball, ‘ootball or track shall have a physician s certificate on file in the principal’s office stating that this student is physically fit to enter athletic con•.ests. The physical examinations should be carefully and efficiently macle by regular licensed nhysicians certificates issued on the basis of anything less than a thorough examil ation by reputable physicians will do more harm than good. They will be misleading and will offer no

protection at all the physician, the player, the parents, or the school.’ “In explaining the rule further Arthur L. Trester, permanent secretary of the Indiana High School Athletic Association, said in demanding parents’ and physicians’ certificates fr6m all those who compete in inter-school contests that the high school athletic association was stressing the following points: 1. Protection rather than penalization. 2. Prevention rather than a cure. 3. Real physical examination by regularly licensed physicians prior to securing the parental consent. We intend to hold these parties to their signed statements. 4. Pxaminaions for a'l players, •’i ls as well as boys on all teams, first, second, third etc., in basket ball football, and track. 5. All certificates signed by parents or guardian and physician, and attested by principal, and certification in the office of the permanent secretary.” Noblesville Wins Independent Meet Noblesville, Ind., Mar. 2. —iU.R) - — The Noblesville boosters won the thirteenth annual state amateur independent basketball tournament here Saturday night by defeating Seymour, 28 to 26. .Q St. Jo?

With rebel movements on both' sides of the capital and most of the loyal army anchored in Callao hay, the provisional president had no I choice but to resign. The* navy's only interest, was to | prevent civil war, the official manifesto said. It was emphasized that there were- no political motives. I The manifesto appealed to Peruvians to unite in preserving peace. The new government is purely provisional. A permanent administration will be formed when leaders of the northern and southern i evolutions have been consulted. Lima and Callao were calm today, Jnit troops armed with machine guns patrolled the streets.

The report in some instances recommended Federal trade commission and department of justice inquiries. The committee investigated bread, flour, sugar, milk, dairy products and meat prices. It sought to determine whether there was any combination in restraint of trade in those staples. The re- | port said there should be an immediate nation-wide reduction of bread prices. Washington.

I President Hoover has received no offer of a bid to lease the Muscle j Shoals fertilizer plant and expects I none before congress adjourns, it j was learned today at the White i House. The President has received no communication from Henry Ford, ■ who is being urged by Alabama officials to aid. it was said. The absence of private offers for the project was understood to have heightened Mr, Hoover's opposition to the i Muscle Shoals bill, because it increases the possibility the government would have to operate the project. The war department has not yet completed its investigation of the HU and there is little prospect of Mr. Hoover's sending lAs expected veto message to congress before tomorrow or Wednesday, the White House indicated. Mr. Hoover must await recom-j ’mendations from the department I before he can determine what action he is going to take, it was I said. A similar delay has likewise hit the third Wagner unemployment bill, which likewise appears to be marked for presidential disapproval. The labor department lias been unable to complete its inquiry into the measure. The bill is subject to pocket veto unless the President expresses himself before noon. March 4. At the White House today it was said there was no indication whether Mr. Hoover would be able to act within the allotted time. The bill provides a national system of employment agencies in cooperation with the states, the Federal government furnishing half | the funds and the states the other half. o LEGISLATURE IS ON FINAL WEEK — (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) jected, he said, to the action of "railroading” a bill through the senate when it “probably w’as the most important bill before the legislature.
