The Bears have won eight in a row this season, and Saturday will compete in a tough four-team blind tourney at South I Side and Central of Fort Wayne. ' It really should be an excellent : tourney, with all three Fort Wayne ; teams showing a wholesome respect for the Bears from Berne. —oOo— We note that reports from Fort Wayne indicate that the annual state Catholic basketball tourney will likely be held in that city again this year. Eight teams, including the Dej ’ catur Commodores, participated in the meet, held at the Central gym last season, with St. Mary’s of Huntington defeating Central Catholic of Fort Wayne in the final tilt. The Commodores were eliminated by C. C. in the first round of the tourney. —oOo — Fans throughout the state who have been picking Newcastle as • one of the best teams in Indiana I had their belief strengthened SatI urday night when the Trojans scorI ed an Impressive and decisive victory over the Hartford City Air--1 dales. Berne is the only other : team holding a victory over Harti ford City this season, while the 1 Airdales include among their vicI tims the Muncie Bearcats and , Bluffton Tigers. —©OoPiggy Lambert and his Purdue Boilermakers had the tables turn;ed on them Saturday night when | the Butler Bulldogs came from seven points behind to mark up a 41-39 victory before 6,000 fans at the Butler fieldhouse. Many times in past years have the Boilermakers staged just such furious finishes to overcome an apparently safe lead. Purdue faces another real test tonight in the Notre Dame quintet, which has yet to taste defeat this season.

. journinent last August two of the , administration's most outspoken critics. They oftlmes worked together in attacking new deal legislation. Schall fought the administration in and out of congieet. in 1934 he engaged between sessions in u series of attacks on President Roosevelt, accusing him of attempting to set up a dictatorship. His assaults on the new deal brought him into frequent clashes with administration leaders. Senate majority leader Joseph T Robinson objected to some of his at-, tacks and once defended Postmaster General James A. Farley against accusations by Schall that his mail was being censored. Schall’s death brought to an end a varied and colorful caYeer. An exploding cigar lighter left him totally blind at the age of 30. just when he was gaining fame as an attorney. His wife became his eyes and he continued his practice. Before he was blinded Schall had been a farm hand, a bootblack, a newsbo*. an onion grower, a troubador, bouncer in a saloon, jockey,, bronco buster, ice cream salesman, professional baseball player, insurance salesman, hotel clerk, lawyer and promoter. He was elected to the house of representatives in 1916 as an independent. Later he became a Republican.

RIOTS FEARED IN HOLY CITY Authorities Fear Racial Clash In Bethlehem On Christmas BethL’him. Dec. 23 — (UP) —ln this Holy City where Christ was horn nearly 2,000 yearn ngo armed police strode the narrow steels today as war spread its pall over a usually joyous t'hrlatmas scene. Extra polle • were posted throughout Bethlehem, which gave to the world Its prayer of "Peace on Earth to Men of Good Will," to prevent t ioting over the Itallan-Ehiopitin conflict when the Holy Night ia cbserved tomorrow. On the eve of the festival at the spacious church of the Nativity, where a sacred grotto rests on the e.ot where Christ 1h believed to have been born in a stable manger 1 there was unconcealed tension. There have been rumors for several days in the bazaars and native coffee houses of brewing trouble between the large Ethiopian papulation and the Italian pilgrims. The authorities, recalling the racial brawls that were frequent before the world war, decided on more police. In years past this little town on the hill has been crammed with Christian vfcitora from all parts of the world but Bethlehem was strangly quiet today. There were 150 American tourists ' here and at Jerusalem for the Christmas celebration. Tourist agency managers said the number was the smallest since the world war. The Jerusalem Y. M C. A. has arranged its yearly Chris’mas service and supper for shepherds in a field two ttiles from here. This year, for the first time, a military regiment and band stationed at Jerusalem will participate. Several weeks ago w’ord came I that .owing to warlike conditions On the Mediterranean, numerous Christmas cruis;s to Palestine had been cancelled. It was like a thunderbold t> the people of Bethlehem who are dependent upon this trade for their livelihood.

He asked the jury, while it was thinking of sympathy for the defendant, to remember Mre. Werllng, who had been widowed in the fatal shooting and was now compelled to wsrk to provide a living for herself and her two children. He asked them to think of the children who would wake up Christmas morning with no father to cheer them. He closed with a iplea for the conviction of Joseph Everett as a reminder to others that crimes could not be committed and as an expression of their belief in law and order.
