The state hatcheries will propagate largea nd smallmouth bass, rock bass, bluegills and redeared sunfish this year for planting in lakes and streams. in recent mouths the demand for rock bass has grown materially with the result that the propagation of thl» popular game fish is to be increas-| ed. The division of fish and game will have in operation this year for the first time a number of j hatcnery ponds constructed on various state properties. These with the increased facilities at the regular hatcheries are expected to increase the production of game fish. In addition the division of fish and game is again contracting with local conservation clubs for the operation of hatchery ponds to propagate game fish to be used in stocking lakes and streams. o Current Crop Huge PALMER.

Basketball In Olympics

—by— EVERETT 8. DEAN. Head Basketball Coach, Indiana University. Thirty nations are expected to meet in the Olympics next summer at Berlin to play basketball. Already ten have made plans to send their teams to Germany. These include the United States, Germany, France. Japan, Spain. England, Poland, Estonia. Latavia and Czechoslavakia. No doubt Canada. Mexico and many South American countries will send their entries soon. Basketball is played considerably in South America. It is generally conceded that the basketball team to represent the United States in the Olympics should have little trouble in adding points to Uncle Sam’s total. Since the game was originated and developed in this country it is reasonable to believe the I’nited States should go through the Olympic basketball games undefeated unless some unforeseen difficulty should arise, such as foreign playing equipment, outdoor courts and foreign officiating. One of the difficulties facing the American Olympic basketball committee at present is the method of fairly selecting the best team to represent the United States. A prominent sports writer, a few days ago, suggested that all the red tape be done away with and the American committee pick the champions of the Big Ten conference and New York university as representatives of the United States. In this case the United States would be represented by two good teams and if they could not beat their opponents in the Olympics no other team selected from the United States would be cap-

able of winning. Dr. Walter E. Meanwell, athletic director of the University of Wisconsin. reports that the Olympic committee has decided to divide , the United States into districts, with district tournaments To be held at Indianapolis, Chicago, , Minneapolis, Columbus. 0., and New York. The five college teams to win these district tournaments will represent the National Collegiate Athletic Association in a final tournament to be held in Madison Square Garden on April 3, 4. 5. and 6. Along with these I five college teams will be the champion Y. M. C. A. team and the two champion teams from tne Amateur Athletic Union. i The Olympic squad will consist . of fourteen men se'ected after the final tournament in New York. The I first Olympic team will be made s up 01 seven regulars of the winI ning team. Five men from the ; second place team and one each from the third and fourth place teams will be added to the squad. It is highly probable that' the ( coach of the Olympic team will be the coach of the winning team in the final tournament. It is likely that another coach or two will be ’ added to the staff In order to f handle relations with foreign teams ’ and other administrative duties. 1 The Olympic games should have ' a far reaching effect 7a increasing the popularity of basketball in I foreign countries as well as in this t country. It is reasonable to think ■ that it will add much incentive to i the championship aspirations of all I college teams in the numerous con--1 ferences. > O : Mens and Boys Mackinaws and Melton Jackets now sell--1 ing }/ - — Peterson ■*’- Jverhart Co. ,3!IM

Included in the three to ba built on the St. Mary’s , the men expect to build one dam la the part south of the -•’tv known as ths “Devi’s Backbone”; one at Pleasant Mills.

The logs ar? placed in a slightly V shaped form against the flow of the water. The stones are placed in front of the wall, and stones and gravel support th? back of the dam The outside ends of the logs are fitted into the bank for a length of six feat, thereby Insuring the strength of Uie structure. The co t pleted dams will range from 3 to 4 feet in height. The work has been checked because of the cold weather .but will be resumed as soon as the weather permit.
