PURDUE BEATS 10Y0LATEAM State’s Three Leading College Teams In Action This AV eek Indianapolis. Ind., Dec. 21 —(UP) ■ —lndiana's "Big Three"— Notre Dame. Purdue and Indiana- smash , into opposition o nforeign courts for the next three nights to continue ' barn-storming invasions. The boilermakers of Purdue, al- 1 , ready ranking as the big team in 'the Big Ten. and winner last night over Loyola in Chicago, gets a test of western cage power in Denver with Denver University tomorrow night. Loyolas home winning streak was snapped at 15 games. Young scoring 10 points for the Boilermakers. led the 55-41 victory. It was i the fifth game this year in which ; they had made 50 points or more. The Hoosiers, a'so on their way into the west, stop in Peoria. Illtonight to play the state champion , Bradley Indians. Thursday they meet the notorious Nebraska cornhuskers in Lincoln. Indiana hopes to find on the road the right combination for its potential but uncoordinated individual power. The small Bradley team, reminiscent of the Ball state crew that left such a bad taste in the Hoosiehs’ mouths, is equally capable of , springing an upset. Notre Dame, riding high on an eighteen game winning streak, will face Xavier university at Cincinnati. Ohio, tomorrow n'ght. Comparative strengths of the Boilermaker and Irish teams undobutedly will be drawn from the score of the Xavier encounter. Purdue beat Xavier, 56 to 32. X-Act-Fit Shirts—the ideal gift.

The firm has joined in a nation-, wide movement of Frigidaire deal-i era to launch an "ahead-of-tinie”j display, a movement in which the, Dayton manufacturing plants of' Frigidaire have cooperated by setting all factory schedules sufficient-, ly ahead of time to meet the re-i quirements. "For the first time,” said Mr.' Baker, who is sales manager of Baker Co., “new model Frigidaires will actually be available for saleto the public ahead of the year for I which they are designed. "I recently returned from a pre- j showing of the complete line where I had opportunity to Inspect them closely, and I feel they are just as ( much ahead in quality and features as they are In time.

' requires so long a time to play. | Boxing doesn’t last more than fifteen rounds, oarsmen complete j their work In 20 minutes or so, a j round of golf takes a morning at i most, and u dash man can finish I his job In under ten seconds, fiat. But the world s record for Christ- ’ mas shopping is five days, and it s not official because the holder, a Duluth furniture upholsterer, had two of his gifts returned and exj changed. The tip-off on how ardul ous Christmas shopping Is can be ; found in the newspapers every day. | At this time of yar all newspapers [ run a story each day pointing out ' how many more shopping days are left, "only ten more shopping days ' until Christmas- only nine more shopping days—” This is not a ! warning, as so many ignorant folk believe. It is an encouragement, • telling the citizens that if they i can just hold out a bit longer the • dread shopping days will soon be ; over. 1 would not be surprised if i these displays are hot a subtle bit [ of government propaganda, designed to keep the citizenry from open revolt. Just as the development of a , thing in boxing, and a brasise shot j good left han dis the most difficult I from a close lie golfs most trying I shot, so the buying of a present for | one's wife is the most troublesome i part of Christmas shopping. i Y believe a check-up would show that a great percentage of the gray hair now worn by American husbands could be traced to those awful moments resulting from shopping for their wives. Think of the problems confronting a Christinas buying husband. fn the first place, there is his own pocket-book. He must find something that pleases it. He can not “just shoot the works" so to speak, even if he felt so inclined, because the cold gray dawn of the 26th would question such an expenditure. And when wives question a matter they don’t abide by parliamentary rules and rise to a point of order—they come flying out of the butler's pantry, and rise to a point of riot. Then there is the bewildering problem of what size things women wear. In clothes women's sizes are just the opposite of men's sizes. Women, for example, wear hats with such sizes as 21. and 22, and 23. A man can’t keep this straight, for a man who took such a size wouldn't need a hat—he'd be bareheaded on a platform in the Ringling Brothers freak tent. h's the same way with

dresses. Women who are 40 ys arf) old wear site 16 dresses. Women who are slxteet. require s:z t > 40 This leads into such a maze of complexities —for busbands, at least that the only sure and safe thing to buy a wife la a lawn er. Fortunately, they dont come in sizes. When you buy a lawn mower or a scythe, you are sure to get a gift that carries no X | X< > number. But If you buy such a sensible gift for your wife you plunge head long into Christmas shoppings second most frightful pit fall that of getting your gift wrapped. It is barely possible to wrap the lawn mower, and only then if exterein care is exercised in the
