GLENN CURTIS | DENIES STORY Martinsville Coach Says Athletes Never Given Stimulants Indianapolis, .lan. 23 (U.R) Hr. j Horace it. Willan, stale repre ien- 1 ntitive from Martinsville who, testified before the house moral?' committee that lie hail seen stimu-j l.ints administered In players | during high school basketball j tournaments, explained today that did not refer to Martinsville teams. “There have been denials and j affirmations of the truth of my statements," Dr. Willan said. “However, in justieo to roach Olenn Curtis of Martinsville t wish to puy that to the best of tt y knowledge and belief Mr. I Curtis lies never resorted to the practices mentioned.” Although Willan’s origina’ statement made no mention of Martins.-ille, Coach Curtkc insisted that the Martinsville team was referred to by inference. “All I ever give my boys between tournament games is an ■ apple,” Curtis said. “I always have members of the 1 p’ayers' families in the dressing room and they know that we have 1 7i ver resorted to stimulants.” Coach Curtis also denied Wil- 1 lan's statement that a former : Martinsville high school player fainted from a heart attack after l

I have noticed that the final results of basketball games this year are generally higher than in previous years. It would be impossible to compile statistics over the entire state or country to prove the observation, hut I have never noticed so many results where the final count consistently was in the large figures.. Trying to account for the boom In storing, two. questions might hr discussed: (1) Are the offenses better? (2) Are coaches failing to drill the defenses? Personally, I think it can be attributed to the first. I believe the individuals are becoming more fundamentally perfect in their passing, their footwork, and their goal shooting. We see a greater number of one-handed shooting from; the floor. There was a time when tossing the ball one handed was ( considered a wasting of the possession of the ball. But nearly every j team has at least one player who j (■ a hook ’em with one hand and do! it accurately. Praciticing on this type of shoot- j ing has made it an effective means; and a dangerous one. It is almost i impossible to defend against it. Coaches have drilled their players until they can pivot around an 1 shovel a close one in. or cut under the basket on either right or left side and throw the ball through

OOG numbers In the United States * 1 follow closely the changes In corn production Since 1920-21, as Indicated by the bottom line In the graph above, there have been three peaks of heavy hog slaughter—the marketing years of 1923-24, 1928-29. and 1933-34. The Increases In hog slaughter during these years can be traced to the big corn crops during the periods beginning In 1920. In 1928, and again In 1932, as shown by the top line above. Over a period of years, a change i of one per cent In corn production has been followed by a correspond Ing change of about one per cent In the number of hogs slaughtered un der Federal Inspection.

•!the hoop. Also, the offensive systems h ve ii -jheen accelerated. There is a r.peod--iier handling of the ball, an al rtness p ' of action and movement by the n ' players. A more scientific basket- t ball offense has been developed a I which is harder to s?op. The off- n ': ensive styles the last few years d j are creating set-ups for a player to i have a clear path to the basket or e -a "pot” shot a few feet out. „ •Here is another angle to -. onsideri; er. Teams do not use a "hack" p guard. Instead of holding a man • hack near the center of the floor . on defense, coaches are sending all! 0 ■ five me n down under and have five r ■ ] instead of four scoring threats. An- ] * 1 other contributing factor in our | * larger scores is the accuracy at the ' foul line. With the offense moving f faster and driving under the has- *' ket, more fouls are being called, and the players are "cashing in" on f most opportunities. € ' Without changing the rules, like n i football authorities are doing to t help the offense, basketball is ac- t complirtiir.i* the same result natur- 1 " i ally and is giving the fans a better t game. Have you ever noticed that in a close football the score | d ; is usually held down whereas in | I basketball two evenly matched i, teams often boost the total score. | f So. watching the scores go up, i n yours for better basketball. ;

i changes In corn production are close- ' ly associated with changes In the 1 weight per hog marketed through the following year. j] Because of this fundamental relationship, effective control of corn acreage Is a vital factor In controlling hog production. The 1935 corn-hog contract now being offered farmers provides con- *' trol of corn acreage and, therefore, 1 will be doubly effective In prevent- ' Ing excessive hog production during ' the next year or so. Lack of adequate c acreage control in 1935 not only c would result In a large surplus of corn and low feed prices, but un- 1 doubtedly would be followed in 1936 c and 1937 by heavy hog feeding and 1 relatively low hog prices.

MISSOURI RIVER IS CONTRACTING Omaha. Neb.- (U.R) -Civilization j is held responsible by engineers! for the reduction of 5« miles in j length of the upper Missouri river ! since the days of the Lewis and j Clark expedition. When those hardy explorers and | their hand followed the Missouri river upstream from Blackbird hill. I near Decatur. Neb., they traversed 'a great bend in the river covering miles while making only 2,800 feet of northward progress. The river then swung eastward ! j n to the present State of lowa. To- ] day the channel has cut across the ! former enormous horseshoe and -lows virtually in a straight line. In the days of the la>wis and, ] Clark expedition the waterway mileage from Tekamah to Sioux I I City was 105. Today it is but 55 miles, only five miles longer than the crow-flight railroad distance on

the lowa side of the river. Engineers have explained bottom • land along the river formerly was wooded. During periods of high i ■ water the channel became clogged < wibh brush and clay deposits, fore- , ing the stream to seek a new channel. With the coming of settlers, the land was logged and the river j ■ cut through the formerly wooded ] land with little difficulty. Even j 1 the big hends near Omaha are i straighter than they formerly were., ' engineers advise. Seven Cent Beauty Syracuse, N.
