Hauptmann appealed to all ( Americans to contribute to a de- , tense fund of which the Fleming- . ton Bank and Trust company is ] trustee. His appeal will cost about $25,000. of which ‘he cbi’f ( voluminous record of the trial ( item will be the printing of the , estimated at $7,000. This probably will bo borne by the state, however. He signed a pauper's ' oath yesterday. If Justice Thomas W. Trencha’d trial judee. so orders, the state will provide the printed record Mrs. Pauline Hauptmann, in Kamenz. Germany, cabled her wayward son that she was confident all would “turn out well." She signed herself. "Your Faithful Mother.” It cheered him immensely. Hauptmann's attorneys will ask Justice Trenchard Monday to order printing of the record at • tat** expense. They also will file a writ of appeal with the court of errors and appeals which will automatically stay the death sen- 1 fence beyond March IS. the date set by the court. o C.«-* * t -« M-l-t* T-- a-♦ M — —,—

We may rest assured that the s procedure of determining our state [ | basketball champion will remain I. unchanged, at least for several. ‘ more years. Considerable crusading has been i put in motion to change the state ; 1 I finals at the fieldhouse to a three- ! day playoff rather than the pres-1 lent two days of gruelling com-!’ petition. And until campaigners of the new movement can conclusive-'-ly show that the present system I I is detrimental to the health of the | players, the Tower of Trester and I its auxiliary executives will re-1 main unshaken. * The exponents of a three-day tourney aver that the three games which the champion and runnerup play on the final day are a ; strain on the young players and that an extra day would prolong | the tourney enough to give the i ! teams sufficient rest- Three games' i in one day, with the accompanying j mental and physical strain, tin- ■ doubtedly will sap the strength of I any youth. However, to what de- J gree it is injurious to the youth i has never been established, and' physical examinations have been I taken to prove that It is not detri - mental. Moreover, three days would mean another day missed from ' classes for the players and the' fans. A large percentage of the| fans are from out of Indianapolis, necessitating added expense.

sters accompany the teams would be away from home unchaperoned an added day. The tourney itself from a standpoint of showmanship is more colorful with the excitement crammed into two days, but it is the health of the players that must - [precede all else. We must remem- : j ber that Mr. Trester and the board are as much interested in the ! tournament from a standpoint of | [health and education as anything, j else and will legislate to that pur- [ | pose. A few years back, it was brought ■ to light that many athletes were undertaking too much in trying to win a track meet single handed by [ competing in five or six events and all the preliminary trials. To that | end. the executives limited each i athlete to two events as a means [of safeguarding his health. Anyone wishing to know just how hard an athlete pushes him[self in a regulation game will find an interesting experiment by tak-i - ing a stop watch to the next game, j ! and checking the amount of time I when the player is not in motion I during free throws, out-of-bounds, 1 I jump balls, and other halts in the game. And. like many crusades which I have many good points but are unI productive. 1 believe the three-day tourney will remain merely a proposal. Yours for Better Basketball.

the Republicans planned to make tlie walkout a threat during the remainder of the session, but it was pointed out that in 1925 the Democratic minority in the legislature halted house action on congressional reapportionment by re mafning away for several days. They did not return and establish a quorum until the majority agreed to drop the bill. “We of the minority were asked by the Democratic administration yesterday afternoon to pass without question or amendment the 1935 biennial appropriation bill, despite the fact that it calls for a $5,000,000 increase." Knapp explained. “Since the administration believed that it was its god-given right to railroad through the budget bill, without any regard for pa"Uamentary and constitutional rules of procedure. thereby violating the rights of the people, the Republican minority withdrew from any such flag rant violations of public perogatives.” Q Get the Habit — Trade at Home
