The labor representative sharply complained of industry's dividend and wage cutting policies, explain-j ing that "only 1.927 firms have re-1 duced or omitted dividends through ’ October of this year while in manufacturing industries alone 2.6001 firms have reduced wages."

Wis., Dec. 30—(UP) — ' Appointment of Irwin C. Uteritz. as . inte collegiate director at the UniI versity of Wisconsin appeared cerI tain today with the athletic council ■ recommending him for the new po- : sition to the board of regents. Uteritz' appointment was recommended by a unanimous vote of the ] Athletic council and the approval I of the boa d of pegents is consid- | ered a mer? formality. Under the proposed plan of Wis-. cousin's Athletic reorganization. Utereitz. former quarterback at Michigan and assistant f lotball ' coach at Wisconsin for several ■ I years, would succeed both Glenn Thistlethwaite, resigned head footi ball coach, and George E. Little, esigned athletic director of the j university. Uteritz starred on Oak Park, ill., i high school football teams when i i Thistlethwaite coached them and | played at Michigan when Little I was field coach there. Three other Athletic depa tments i which await appointment o:’ direc- I ; to. s at Wisconsin are intramural | i sports, required physical education ; cou.se and the four-year course in physical education teacher train- ■ ing. It was believed Thistlethwaite , may be appointed to one of these positions. Little, who severed his connection with the University several ' days ago. today denied reports he had been negotiating with the uni- ! versity of Minnesota in connection | with the position of Freshman foot- I ball coach there.

I t>- rx • d h. Washington Catholic state champion basketball team made it two straight last night by defeatin , Huntington Catholic by a 28-21 count. The Cardinals go to Anderson tonight for the final game of their 'h.ee-game northern invasion. Central of Fort Wayne nosed out Central Catholic last night at North Side by a count of 24-17. The two teams were tied with four minutes to play and at that point the C. C. aggregation lost two players on personal fouls. South Side Crushed No. th Side. Muncie had a close call at Bedford last night but finally won by a count of 21-19. Muncie appears to he the class of the state so far this season. The I.H.S.A.A. has faced a lot j of battles the last few years and 1 most of them have been born through jealousy because of the tine and feariess manner of the conduct of the Commissioner's office. F.iday night Portland Panthers come to Decatur for a game with Decatur high school Yellow Jackets — Herb Curtis is drilling his team for a good start on the new year, and every indication points to a Decant.- victory.

The last half of the net season will bring a lot of thrills for Decatur fans—The Yellow Jackets have games with South Side and Central of Fort Wayne and two games with Bluffton. The Commodores still have two games with Central Catholic of Fort W'ayne. These games always are i wl hot. and almost always are dost, regardless of team ability. BEAT PORTLAND After a few more days of holidays 850 Indiana high school basketball teams will start down the home stretch which will end in March with the determining of a state champion. Muncie. LaPoite, Anderson. Frank nrt are some of the strong teams in the state. Don't forget Winamac. The Pulaski county team hasn't lost a game yet. Peru is said to have a strong team this season. At the same time Catholic high schools over the state will be determining a state champion under the tourney system. The Catholic athletic organization goes a little farther and holds a national tourney at Chicago. BEAT PORTLAND o Liquor War Flares
