WILDCATSTAKE SOLE LEAD IN BIC TEN DACE Northwestern Beats Michigan To Hold Undisputed Lead Chicago, Jan. 24. ;(U.R> The annual mid year pause in the big ten basketball campaign begun today with Northwestern's surprising team of veterans in full command of first place. First conference team to complete half its schedule, Northwestern piled up five victories against a single defeat and held a margin of two full games over second place Purdue. The race slows down to a walk tonight. Michigan will attempt to salvage Its second victory of a disappointing road trip against Ohio State. All other big ten teams are idle. Northwestern's fifth victory Saturday night against Michigan was full of thrills despite the comparatively smai Iscore. 30 to 29. For 20 minutes. Michigan s size carried more power than Northwestern's alertness. As the second period opened, however, the Wildcats began to click with their balanced attack led by whichever player happened to get his hands on the ball first and they ran out a 26 to 22 lead near the end of the game. But Michigan cut it down. Again Northwestern pulled out in front. 30 to 25. on field goals by Jake Nagode and Mike McMichael with two minutes remaining. Charley Pink. Michigan guard, then dropped in a long shot and Leo Beebe popped in a short one as the game ended with Michigan still a point behind. WML Standings W. L. Pct.

The Commodores dropped from second to third. Kirkland moved ahead of Monmouth with two victories and one defeat. Most interesting, however, was Jefferson s first victory of the season, scored over Monroe in the first round Thursday night. This leaves Monroe still without a victory. Congratulations to the Geneva Cardinals for their*victory in the county tourney- The Cardinals pulled the big surprice of the tourney by upsetting Hartford, pre-tourney favorites, in the first round, and then went on to take two tough battles Saturday to cop the title. —oOo — Herbert Boerger, regular guard for the Monmouth Eagles, was presented the T. A. Gottschalk medal, awarded each year at the tourney, to the player showing the best mental attitude and best sportsmanship during the meet. Nice going, Herb. Decatur's teams battle old rivals in the features of this week's schedule for teams of Adams county. The Decatur Commodores will travel to Huntington Wednesday night to battle Huntington CathI olic. Huntington scored a 25 to ! 19 victory over the Commies here earlier in the season, and the Commodores, after a ragged showing last week against Monroeville, should be primed for revenge Wednesday. —oOo-— Friday night is another one of those “battles of the century.” The Yellow Jackets will be hosts to the Tigers from the neighboring city of Bluffton. The Tigers scored a 32 to 23 triumph at Bluffton December 7, and the Yellow Jacket* hope to even the score Friday night. —oOo— I Friday will be a busy night for

This belief was home out last Friday when the Democratic state committee chose Frank McHale as Indiana's new national Democratic committeeman to “sponsor" McNutt's candidacy on behalf of the state organization. Wayne Coy. McNutt’s administrai tive assistant, told the United Press last spring that McNutt was not in- • terested in becoming president of ■ the university. Assuming that this attitude still ■ prevails and that McNutt intends ! to project himself into the national political picture for 1940, McNutt's speech before the editorial i association next month takes on s unusual proportions It will be considered as his definite plunge into the 1940 presidential campaign. 1 To insure an auspicious bow, the f x editorial association Is preparing -for a winter meeting banquet of > almost 2,500 persons to hear Mes Nutt discuss issues of the hour. • This may well be the kickoff for LOANS" »10 to 3300 Quietly Piivate NO ENDORSERS-NO COMAKERS Left us sol ve your money problems Convenient repayment terms Cell, wrilt er pbont LOCAL LOAN COMPANY INCORPORATED 105'/, North Second Street Decatur.

I-1 his 1946 presidential campaign, e And lending support to the thee ory that McNutt will devote his ati tention to politics instead of education is the extremely authentic report that the Indiana university >, board of trustees is becoming more i and more impressed with Herman s B. Wells, acting president of the t university since Dr. Bryan resigned. If McNutt rejects the Indiana e university presidency next month. y chances are very favorable for '■ Wells—with Hoosier politicians bes hind McNutt and Indiana educators backing Wells. —o Bob Feller Signs Indian Contract Van Meter. la.. Jan. 24—(UP)— Bob Feller, youthful pitcher, has reached an agreement with the Cleveland Indians on terms of his contract for the 1938 season, he . announced today. He declined to reveal details of the contract. He said he returned the first contract sent to him last week. The new contract is in the mails, he said. o Get the Habit — Trade at Home Succeeds Taggart As Committeeman / ! ■ /.. FRANK McHALE Frank McHale, Indianapolis attorney, has been elected Democratic national committeeman from Indiana. He succeeds Thomas D. Taggart, who resigned. McHale successfully managed Paul V.

He was personal advisor to McNutt during the four years MeNutt was Governor and is now 1 boosting the former Governor for * the Democratic presidential domination in 1940.

MUSSOLINI SON ON ft IB FLIGHT! Premier’s Son Takes Off On Long I light Io South America Rome. J-n. w” "• R> 7prem°l Mussolini. 20-year-old son of 1 ' | Bt - Benito Mussolini, took off with; , wu companions in three heavily-, loaded bombing planes today for South America. , The thrne pianos. Savoi . el bombers, left Guidonla airport on , h e outskirts of Rome at .:25 a ni (12:25 a. m. CST). T" planes are Identical with Italian made planes which bombed Barcelona and other Spanish costal cities last fall in behalf of the Spanish nationalists. Purpose of the flight, aside from testing the ability of the planes. !| g to Enable Italian aviators to study the course across the South Atlantic with the intention of establishing a regular line between Italy and South America. Young Mussolini was the last to take off. Col. Attilio Biseo. Premier Mussolini's personal pilot ami commander of the expedition, was I the first to take off. He was followed by Capt. Nhi MoscatelH. Brunos father, who earlier had been reported planning to accom- ' pany him in his own plane as far as the Straits of Messini. was not at the airport. The qoverument was represented officially by Gen. “ Guisenp" Valle, undersecretary of 1 aviation. ‘ | It was understood that Bruno had had R difficult time persuading i his mother to permit him to make ‘■the flight. He glories in his fath- ■ er's motto, "live dangerously.” and ' was reports J to have told friends: "I’ve convinced my mother this time. She promised that he would not worry too much. We will make ! it.” The flight will be made in three laps covering approximately 6.006 miles. The first lap, from Rome I to Rakar, West Africa, is the most difficult. The distance is about 2,700 miles of which 2.000 is over the Sahara desert. The second lap is from Dakar to Natal. Brazil, and the third from Natal to Rio D» Janeiro. Biseo said that planes intended ! to maintain a regular flying schedule. like passenger planes. o LABOR LEADER ’ (CONTINUED FRny lature were back by the governor, f Realizing this, many observers believe that Gordon, having the ' right to withdraw his candidacy, I will do so when guarantees are given that the Townsend organization “ill •a’jnort a labor candidate for a major state office. In fct. Gordon himselaf might be such candidateThis is particularly apparent in I the fact that Gordon is vice-presi-dent of the state unemployment , compensation board, and has been ■ a close labor advisor of Townsend and former Gov. Paul V. McNutt. ! whom he backed for election in : 1932. At least for the time being, any doubt has been removed about the support of the Townsend adminisI tration of Sam Jackson with the appearance of some of Townsend’s closest advisors on the same program with Jackson at his public appearances thus far. o Announces Annual Accounting Contest W. E. Wilson, manager of the Mb-Cormiok-Deering store here, announced today the opening of the International Harvester’s fifth annual farm accounting contest for members of the 4-H clubs with copies of rules and regulations governing the 1938 contest available at I the local etore.
