LAURENTMEN LOSE IN LAST PART OF GAME Final Count Is 24-20 For Kirkland; Locals Lead At Half, 8-5 Kirkland township high school basketbail team defeated Catholic high school Commodores at Kirkland Tuesday night by a count of 24-20, but j only after the Commodores had pressed the battle and almost sewed the game up. The turning point m the scrap'came in the last minute or two of the game. Decatur was leading 20-19 with less than two minutes to go.

ATHLETIC PLAN FACES ATTACK I' Wirt's System of Control Os High School Athletics Vetoed Indianapolis, Dec. 23—(U.R) — A resolution, denouncing William C. Wirt's suggestion that control of high school athletic contests be placed with the state board of ‘ , education, was sent the board toI day by the Indiana High School ; Athletic Association. The resolution was adopted unanimously by the 1. H. S. A. A. council. Wirt, superintendent of schools lat Gary, made his suggestion to the state hoard at its recent meeting here. The Gary school hoard later approved It. "Whereas.” the resolution read, "it is considered by the Indiana High School Athletic Association council that its administration of | inter-scholastic athletic games! through the 28 years of its exis-| fence has been intelligently handled. Lie it resolved that this administration, supervision and man-1 agement of interscholastic athletic ' j contests in the 800 high schools ■ of Indiana belonging to the I. H. ! S. A. A. be continued in the hands ! of the Indiana High School Ath- j letic Association.” The resolution was signed bv ! members of the council represent-1 ing schools including in Lebanon. Monticello. Fort Wayne. Terre Haute. Valparaiso, Evansville, Sullivan, South Bend. Franklin. Indianapolis, Bluffton and Muncie. To Caution "Jay Walkers” Boston.—(U.R) —Morgan T. Ryan.

Majority Leader Rainey | mid a few others stood by during j the hours of senate debate to go i through the motions at the end of ' receiving from the senate the ■ Christmas vacation resolution, and ' for Garner to sign the moratorium | resolution. At 11:05 last night all these formalties were completed and congress was in holiday recess. ' Oratorically speaking, it was a • bad day for Mr. Hoover. . Senator Johnson, Repn., Calif., said the President planned debt 1 cancellation or reduction, and that ' lie had violated Constitutional pro- . cedure in obtaining from members of congress telegraphic approval of the moratorium. i Senator Blaine. Repn.. Wis., de- • .scribed Mr. Hoover as one "who forgets he is not managing coal mines in China ." Senators Nye. Repn.. N. D.; Me- ' Kellar. Shipstead. F-L, Minn.; . Frazier. Repn.. N. D.; Thomas, Dem., Okla.; and Norris. Repn., Nebr.. levelled sarcasm against the ' moratorium or bludeoned with heavier weapons. A series of amendments were offered to make the moratorium conditional on revision of the Versailles treaty, on American repudiation of the allied thesis that Germany was solely responsible for the war. and on returning to Ger-! many her lost colonies. Nye offer-1 ed a rider to extend a year’s moratorium to borrowers from federal | farm land banks. Senator Gore. Dem., Okla., wanted an 80 per cent moratorium and would have devoted the 20 per cent of payments received—approximately $50,000,000 to winter jobless and unemployed. A determined senate majority knocked over those proposals of the opposition as quickly as they were put up until the majority encountered the proposal of Nye. It is difficult to vote against extending aid to distressed agriculture. I Many senators felt ca’led upon to i explain why they felt they must! vote against the amendment, al-; though they yielded to no man in 1 the intensity or sincerity of their love for the American farmer. But Nye was voted down. 60 to 15. Senator Cutting. Repn., N. M.. caught the attention of the senate with a sharp denunciation of the whole debt and reparations structure. He said the moratorium was the “opening wedge” to destruction of the Versailles treaty, the Dawes and Young plans and the debt structure, and added, “that is one ! reason I am going to vote for it." Half a dozen senators made the j point that the moratorium propos!ed by Mr. Hoover on June 20 was NOTICE! ALL UNION BARBER SHOPS WILL REMAIN OPEN THURSDAY EVENING UNTIL 8 O'CLOCK.

not the moratorium they were call- I ed on to ratify last night, because i France had rejected the original i plan and had successfully insisted I upon continued payment of so-caii- i ed unconditional German repsft- • ations provided for by the Young plan. An amendment was offered , to make the current version of the , moratorium coincide with what Mr. , Hoover first proposed. It was ; swamped. Then in five minutes the senate i did what it had known all along , it would do. It ratified the morator-11
