GENEVA UPSETS HARTFORD FIVE IN TOURNAMENT Cardinals Win In Overtime; Kirkland And Jefferson Win Wearing a grim, crooked smile on u?r usually kindly countenance. Old Ludy Fortune disregarded all predictions in the flrat game of the annual Adams county first team basketball tourney at Geneva last night to kick the proverbial dope bucket all over the southern gymnasium, as the Geneva Cardinals eked out a 23-21 overtime win over their arch rivals and heavy pre-tourney favorites, the Hartford Gorillas. , Sandwiched among a capacity crowd on hand to witness what was heralded as the feature tilt of the tourney, Hartford fans sat stunned as they watched the Cardinals throttle their scoring aces, Beitler and Anderson, but were content with the fact that it was Newcomers three charity tosses, calmly* plunked through the hoop in the closing minutes of the regular period, that tied the score and forced the game into an overtime —then breathed easier after three Cardinal attempts from the free throw lane failed to clinch the game. Not to be denied victory, it was Grile. who became the hero of the hour and slipped in the winning basket after each team had garnered a free throw. While joyous, shouting teammates were carrying him from the floor on their shoulders. the players were called back for two seconds of play that had been overlooked by the timer. No < hange in score resulted, however. The Gorillas led 4-2 at quarter, 9-4 at half time and 20-13 at the third period. Jeff Beats Bearkatz Adams county’s two “wonder fives,' who hitherto had marked nothing but losses against their slates, provided an interesting tilt, second only to the Hartford-Gen-eva scrap. After trailing nearly the entire w-ay. the Jefferson Warriors broke through with a 27-24 win over the Monroe Bearkatz in the closing minutes. The Warriors led 7-5. at the quarter, trailed 7-12 at half-time. 10-21 at the third period, and with two minutes left to play were behind, 18-24. Kangaroos Win In between the two cloSe con- i tests was a listless and uninterest-

Jan. 21. <U.R> Medical evidence began to pile up today against te new streamlined basketball rules which gave the game its greatest box office boost in history. While coaches from coast to coast discussed the controversial rule eliminating the center jump after field goals. Dr. Marcus Hobart of Northwestern disclosed he had completed experiments purporting to show the new game stimulated heart action of the players to a dangerous degree. Dr. Hobart. Northwestern's team physician, said he had tested players after two big ten games and found “their normal heart beat of 60 t 090 had increased alarmingly. [ in one case to 144.” “I'm no heaft specialist, but even these sketchy experiments indicate the game is too fast for most boys." he said. Chief defender of the new code was Ward (Piggy) Lambert. Purdue's "wild fox,” who has been coaching the fast break in high schools and colleges for 25 years Lambert is recognized as the nation's foremost techer of the firewagon attack. "It's all a matter o {conditioning." Lambert countered. "We bring our boys up in the fast break down in this country and keep them trained to it year after year. Some boys can stand more than others. Ours can stand it easily. "I've questioned my players as-; ter each hard game and they all admit they feel no difference. One. our center, says he was far more , tired when he had to jump after every basket was scored." Hobart's findings, however, stirred critics who have said from the start that under the present code speed and stamina count far more than basketball skill. One insisted either the center jump should be restored or legislation modifying the game be inI troduced. He suggested more time out periods or revision of the rules for substitutions. Lack of records on heart action of players at the end of games under the old rules left Hobart's tests far from complete. He said, i however, he believed the game now , was twice as fast as ever before"The biggest danger is that musi cles of the heart might become ■ weakened if overstimulation continues over a period of years," Hobart said. "Too, over-exertion may cause some undiscovered heart weakness to crop out with serious results." o Two pairs for one, with ladies Kid Oxfords, one pair of 98c Goloshes with each purchase of our S 3, $3.50 or $4 Oxfords.
