PURDUE WHIPS BADGER TEAM Wisconsin Suffers OneSided Defeat Monday, 43 To 24 <’hicago. Mar. 5.—(U.P>—A threeway final tie for Big Ten basket-, ball honors appeared to be an odds-1 on probability today as the resultl of a sensational defeat administered Wisconsin last night by Purdue. The Boilermakers went wild at the goal, winning by 43-24. Illinois won its final game at the ‘ same time from Michigan. 36-22.1 and moved into a tie with Wisconsin for the conference lead. Because Purdue has another game to play, while Wisconsin and Illinois have completed their schedules,, the Boilermakers may well gain a third share of the championship. They will meet Northwestern! Saturday, with every prospect of winning. Purdue's triumph last night gave the I.afayette boys a valid claim , to recognition as the best allaround team of the league. Al-, though they lost three of 11 games,] they defeated Wisconsin twice. The Badger defense was helpless last night before sparkling floor play. Two games close the conference season Saturday, with positions in the standings dependent upon I each. Purdue will be fighting for its place in the sun, while Indiana will be attempting to vTlip Minnesota and advance to a tie with Ohio State for fourth place.

Gottschalk of Berne, member of the state budget icommittee, conferred with Edward Brennan, state budget clerk, to determine whether funds were available to meet the expense. He reported that the money could be taken from excise tax collections. "The House has just passed the liquor control bill.” Senator Gottschalk said. "If the Senate takes the same action the money will be available without any special tax.' | Immediately after this report the vote was taken and the bill was passed, 31 to 11. : The pension would be available to blind persons over 21 years old who have been residents of the istate for at least five years. Recommendations for allowing the pensions would be made to circuit icourts by the Industrial Aid for the Blind. Final power to set the amount up to the S3OO maximum would rest with the various circuit .court judges. The money would 'be raid from th? state's general fund.

From all reports, that final game In which the Bears nosed out the Tigers. 30 Ito 28. must have been a WOW. —oOo — | All fans of Adams county I will be pulling for the Bears to come through with top honors at the regional tourney at Suntington Saturday. And so we say, Bears. ON TO THE STATE. —oOo— The Bears will play the Roanoke Stonewalls in the opening game of the regional at 2 p. m. Saturday. The Roanoke team, which nosed out the Huntington Vikings in the final sectional encounter, is coached by Bill Bryan, former Kirkland nlayer and coach, who consistently turned out good ball clubs while guiding the destinies of the Kangaroos. I —oOo — Roanoke has a fine record the past season. From reports we have' ' heard. Roanoke has a large team 1 and while not boasting a powerful I offense, the team is appropriately ‘' named the Stonewalls, having a •jfine record for defensive ball. In the second game of the regional, the South Side Archers will meet the Pennville Bulldoas. surprise winners of the Hartford City sectional. From this angle, it looks like Berne and South Side to battle Saturday night for the right to make the trio to Indianapolis as one of the last sixteen. And what a ball game that should be. —oOo— The Decatur Yellow Jackets proved a disappointment to many local fans when they faltered in the final period of their second-I round encounter with the North' Side Redskins. Starting fast, the Jackets apparently were headed for the semi finals but could not cope with the last quarter offensive thrusts of the Redskins. North Side was the surprise team of the Fort Wayne tourney, the Redskins giving Central a terrific battle in the semi-final clash. —oOo — And speaking of battles, what do you think of the final contest at Delphi, when the host school and Camden battled through seven overtime sesions of three minutes each before Camden eliminated Delphi. 22 to 19. Terific punishment on those young lads after playing two previous games the same day. —oOo— The annual eighth grade tourney, held at the Commodore gym last week-end, again proved a great success. Congrats to St. Mary's of Fort Wayne, the tourney winners. and to St. Joe of Decatur, runners-up. Much of the success of the meet must be attributed to Bob Wemhoff. coach of the St. Joe team. —oOo— Buck of the Bluffton News-Ban-ner, selected the folowing all-tour-I

Wis., today, paralyzing every power center in this city and isolating the area from the outside world. All power lines in Duluth, sheathed in a coat of glistening ice. were thrown out of order. Telephone. telegraph. elevator, light and similar service was halted. Except by radio, the 190.000 I residents of Duluth had no communication with other communi- | ties. Nearly 50.000 residents in I Superior were in the same predicament. Failure of the power lines threw the city into a dangerous situation. Without power, most normal operations of business and Industry were stopped. Trolley cars had ceased running. Motor travel was virtually impossible. Office buildings were deserted and unlighted. Machinery was at a standstill. The last communication line from the city to St. Paul went out shortly after midnight. Regular commercial channels had failed LOANS ON OUR NEW WEEKLY BUDGET PLAN I 40.
