The tournament ordained this was a viola‘tion, however, and the old master was penalized two strokes. o Shock Was Too Much Brockton. Mass.- - (U.R) —Perhaps the shock was too much for her.

These 'nicies will appear each week during the basketball season and will deal principally with Indiana high school basketball.

Earlier in the season wo talked I about prospects and possibilities | of the two state finalists of last year. Tech and Logansport, with a few sidelights and opinions on basketball systems employed by the two, as well as systems in j general. Now everyone is becoming interested in the semi-final-ists, Jasper and Jeffersonvil'w, with the question in mind, "Wdl they, too. win return tickets to the state tournament next March?" Prospects for the finalists of last year, in my opinion, are good, but no better than the outlook for Ihe semi-finaliets, Jasper has won more than the lion's share of the schedule thus far. Everyone remembers this team as the one that gave Logansport their greatest scare last year at the tournament by leading through the entire game, only to be nosed out by three pointe in the final seconds. Jasper was led by the great Ed Rottet. probably one of the most outstanding players on any Indiana high school team. It is too bad that he died last summer following an attack of typhoid fever as he undoubtedly would have made a great college player. But Jasper is again going “great gun. the outstanding men thus far in the season being A. Gossman and C. Singer. Probably 0 their greatest triumph of the sea-

son was gained whim they defeated Bloomington on Bloomington's own home floor. Jeffersonville? Their suuad roster reads like a college ball club, 'r'hev have plenty of weight for a high school team, and seven of their men are well over six feet in height. They are powerful, and employ a fast-breaking offense ♦hot is lynieal in every respect. Their performance against Logan- | snnrt Friday night was a perfect exhibition of how two great basketball systems, pivot line and revolving figure eight, may be executed. j The lineup this year is pracI t'callv the same as it wm last | March when the official scorekeeper checked them in for the semi-final game. Eight men who were on that snuad are in uniform this year, and it looks as though the roster remains just the same for one year from now. Jeffersonville has played som n tough bad clubs. and all of their wins have heen hv wide margins. Naturally the great testing time for these two semi-finalists, was last Friday. Jasner against Vincennes and Jeffersonville against Loeansnort. But don’t let the re"tilts of those games influence the result of yenr state selections too much, for there’s always a stumble some place, and always a dark horse, so until next week. Yours for Better Basketball.

TINY FLY MAY AID HUMANITY Los Angelo? (U.R) To most ip.sele a fly is nothing but a pest, without the slightest I quality to justify Its existence, but to sumo scientists the little fellow is quite an aid in carrying out research investigations. In the genetic lai'oratori 1, of the University of Southern < alifornla. Prof- <’ath«'rine Beer H studying the hereditary traits oi I thousands of Jlies- -flies .small r Jthan the ordinary household va'rietv, but boasting the formidable jname, Drosophila pseudo obscura ■ --in an effort to add to the wot 1,1 -, ' knowledge of heredity. It is the short life span of the ; fly that niukev him valuable to seij enee. Ilavin- offspring every 2 . 1 days, in a year's time approxiI mately 13 generations may bo studied. Human, animal, and plant life, all are governed by basically similar laws of heredity, and the findings of studies of the fly may be apjlied to human hereditary problems, animal husbandry, and agricultu re. Such diseases as haemophilia i profuse bleed i n g I and color blindness are definitely .sex i n-cl ’and hereditary In nature, and thanswers to many human ailment- . perluips lie in our modern genet i< ; laboratories. ' In addition to the research I studies being carried on by Pro ‘lessor Beers at U. S. ('.. work al o , is being done along similar lines with the same species of fly at the University of Edinburgh.

Some of Mr. Roosevelt's adv . ers have pointed out that as quickly as definite new deal proposals ate made there will develop on ‘ canitol hill blocs of legislators ; determined to defeat, amend or expand the bills sponsored by th< administration. It apnears to ho Mr Roosevelt's intention to deal . exclusively in generalities in the , message which he will read before f a joint session of both house . I Jan. 4. At a press conference last week Mr. Roosevelt said he would con tinue this year to send messages t to congress from time to time. . each in behalf of specific bills That procedure will enable him tc , keep his program before congress flexible and avoid laying the whole before hostile critics in and out of congress.
