ST. JOE TIES GRADE SERIES WITH VICTORY Scores 12-9 Overtime Triumph In Series With Juniors -4n a hFctic low-scoring tilt that kept the screaming voices of eighth grade funs bounding from pillar to pillar in the Commodore gytn, the St. Joe quintet scored a 12-9 overtime win over the Decatur Junior high eagers last night. The victory throws this year's grade title series into a three-game affair with each of the teams having one victory lucked away. The entire game was played midst a screeching that rivalled the combined whine of police sireir. and wildact whistles. Never did the little fans let up in their “lung-busting'' support of the embryonic Yellow Jacket and Commodore stars. It all started with Welker dribbling to the foul line and tossing in a one-luutder to give his team an early 2-fl lead. The margin was short-lived, however, as McConnell promptly sank one from out on the floor for Junior high, to tie it up al 2-all. A little later in the quarter. Andrews dribbled in for Junior high and gave them the lead. Welker's second field goal. - one from the side, tied it up at quarter time. From then on. it was plain to i be seen that a low-scoring game , would result Welker made a free throw ou Neidigh's personal and Hackman sank one on Schnepp's foul, to make it 6-4 for St. Joe. That was all the second quarter scoring The only score In the third quarter was McConnell's free throw, when fouled by Hackman. making it 6-5 for St. Joe. The final quarter went almost all the way through before Welker

McConnell made it 9-6 on Klepper's personal and almost immediately he scored another free throw on Hackman's personal. Andrews' second field goal came just before the gun to tie it up at 9-all. In t.he overtitrfe, Welker scored on Andrews' fourth personal, then sewed the game up under the "sudden death" ruling when he hit from out after one and one-half minutes had been played. To pick out individual accomplishments would be unfair to all of the lads, each of whom played his heart out in a manner creditable to his team and school. Welker was, however, the offensive star of the game, getting nine of his team's points, while McConnell with five led the Junior high eagers. Arrangements for a deciding tilt will be announced later.

INDIANA TAKES IBIGTEN LEAD | FROM BUCKEYES I. U. Scores 46-34 Victory; I’urdue And Illinois Win Chicago, Feb. 7.- (U.R) It was Indiana's turn to hold first place in the bitter Big Ten basketball race today and from the looks of I its schedule which includes nothing but second division foes for four straight games the Hoosiers may hold it from here on in. Branch McCracken's speedy young team, still in the process of development, supplanted Ohio State in the league lead last night by dumping the Buckeyes, 46 to 34. In its next four games, Indiana will have plenty of chance to improve further against second division Northwestern, Chicago and lowa twice. While the Hoosiers were piling up their fourth victory in five games, the three other major contenders — Illinois. Minnesota and I Ohio State —became locked in a second place tie with five victories and two defeats each. Illinois, crippled first by the ineligibility of Capt. Tommy Nisbet, then the illness of high-scoring ' Bill Hapac, defeated lowa. 34 to 26. largely through tike efforts of ; Pick Dehner who added 17 points to his season's total. Pick now has 91, but still is second to Capt. Jim Hull of Ohio State, who scored 14 against Indiana for a seven game total of 102. Indiana risks its lead' at lowa Saturday night, Illinois plays at I Purdue, which moved into fifth ■ place by defeating Wisconsin last night. 39 to 31. Northwestern plays I ' at Chicago and Michigan tackles , Michigan Slate at Lansing. Monday's games: Indiana T 6, Ohio State 34 —Hull came right back with 14 points at-, ter being virtually stopped at Minnesota. but his scoring was almost matched by Indiana's Capt. Ernie Andres and the other hustling Hoosiers provided the necessary advantage. Andres hit six field goals and a free throw for 13. Indiana had entirely too .much speed for the Bucks, coupled with superior shooting. In avenging its early defeat at Ohio State, Indiana hit 19 field goals in 85 attempts to 12 in 72 shots for the erstwhile leaders. Illinois 34, lowa 26—Already deprived of Nisbet's services, the Illini were hit further by the ill- j ness of Hapac. third high scorer in the conference. Dehner gave his green teammates confidence right at the start, winding up the first half with 14 points. He concentrated then on defense and the lead stood up until the gun. lowa was held to 13 points each period. Purdue 39. Wisconsin 31 — Purdue earned an even break in the Big Ten in this one with its second victory in four games. Too much fouling cost the Badgers a chance for a .500 rating, since they outscored Purdue. 12 to 11 from the field. Purdue, however, dropped in 17 free throws to seven for Wisconsin. Even so, a belated Wisconsin rally nearly closed the 22 to 11 gap Purdue widened in the first half before the numerous free throws began to tell. Fred Beretta, Purdue guard, scored seven times from the foul line. o Noted Race Driver Seriously Injured Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 7 —(UP) — William (Wild Bill) Cummings, 32. winner of the Indianapolis 500-mlle speedway automobile race in 1934, was in Methodist hosiptal today for treatment of serious injuries suffered last night when he lost control of his automobile. He was en route to his home when the automobile smashed through a gard rail, overtimed and fell into a small creek. He was unconscious

At this point, Rep. Herbert Evans. Republican floor leader, Interrupted to say: “I don't understand Mr. Stein. The bill as drawn is no good and should not be passed, and at the same time he says we shoul not recommit it to committee to get it in proper shape. You (Stein) want some sorte of a bill on this two percent graft and so do we.” Stein replied furiously: "You don’t have any right to say anything about two percent graft. We could have let this bill pass but we didn't want to kick you when you were down and that’s the reason we called attention to the manner in which the bill was drawn.” Then turning to speaker Knapp, Stein said: “I protest that you have no right to go against the ruleh of this house." ' "The chair is not going against the house rules as he interprets them," Knapp retorted. “The bill as drawn," interjected Rep. Arnold Nahand, Indianapolis Democrat, "would repeal a section of the corrupt practices act which prohibits employers from coercing employes at elections. They tel) us this bill was drawn by smart lawyers and I think they knew what,was in the bill and they wanted it that way so em-

William Black. Anderson Democrat, moved that Minis' motion be tabled. But on a roll call vote, not a legislator varied from party lines to defeat the motion, 50 to 49, and the bill was sent back to committee. The senate passed several bills on third reading over which there was little dispute. They now go to the house for action. These bills included: Require hnyone purchasing fireworks to post a SI,OOO bond or own $2,000 worth of property as surety against personal injury. This bill would make virtually prohibitive the use of fireworks on Fourth of July except by sponsored celebrations. Over the protest of Sen. Walter Arnold, South Bend Democrat, the emergency clause was stricken from the bill and it is not effective until August, permitting indiscriminate sale again this year. The vote was 33 to 12. Prohibit county officials front charging fees for service to other county departments, 45 to 1.

COLLAPSE OF (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) only unconditional surrender. Reports that the loyalist morale in central Spain was weakening were a new development. President Speaks St. Julien. Fiance. Feb. 7 —(U.R) —President Manuel Azana of the Spanish loyalist government said today: “I want peace and Spain wants peace as soon as possible.” It was the first statement Azana had made since he crossed the Catalonian frontier to seek refuge in France, and it removed any doubt that he, at least, among Spanish leaders felt that the time had come to end a war which had bled Spain of its men and national resources tor two and .< halt years. Azana arrived at Colonnes-Sous-Saleve, near here and close to the Swiss frontier, last night with Deigo Martinez Barrio, president of the loyalist parliament, and Jose Giral Pereira, minister without portfolio in the cabinet and former premier. Seek Surrender London, Feb. 7— (U.R) —Great Britain and France, coincident with their general efforts to end the Spanish civil war, are trying to negotiate surrender of the great loyalist base on Minorca Island to the nationalists on condition that only Spanish troops occupy it, it was learned today. It was asserted that the move, made because so far all efforts to end the war Itself by mediation had failed, was due to fear that the Italians based on nearby Majorca Island might occupy Minorca, one of the most important

strategie bases in the Mediterranean and a grave threat to France's communications. It was believed in London that the loyalists, their leaders in disagreement. could be induced to make peace on one condition — that they were given some kind of assurances against reprisals The nationalists had rebuffed every overture and insist on unconditional surrender. For that reason, it was said, the British and French governments were trying now. as a first move, to negotiate the surrender of Minorca to the insurgents in order to forestall an Italian occupation. committeeto (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) court house in the court room at Decatur, Indiana, on Saturday, February 11th. 1939, at the hour of 2:“0 o’clock p. in.

Threat To National League Teams By George Kirksey United Press Stuff Correspondent New York, Felt. > /U.K) Warning to the Chicago Cuba: watch your National league pennant this season because the I Incinnati Reds promise to come up with the hottest pitching staff on the circuit. With spring training about to open, the Reds ure being hailed as the club to watch. And the master minds of Cincinnati say that Lee Grissom. their eccentric southpaw, is l e key man in their scheme to overthrow the Cubs. Along with Lee, the Reda will have as proven flingers Bucky Walters. Johnny Vander Meer. Paul Derringer. Whltjy Moore, Red Barrett, Gene Schott and Jim Weaver. Grissom is the key man in that brigade Itecatise of what happened to him last year. His failure to come through in 1938 possibly cost the Reds the pennant and Bill McKechnie, who piloted the Reds from last to fourth place in his first year there, got a little red around the collar today when the subject of Grissom came up. Bill rehientbered the part Lee played in cooling off the team when it was red hot. “I should have shot him,". McKechnie said. “Yes sir. I should have shot him then and there. ■ And I probably would have if Grissom hadn't agreed with me.” McKechnie was talking about the time last summer when Gris-, som tried to steal second in a game against the Phillies with the Reds ahead. 2-0. He slid into the bag and was carried off the field with a sprained ankle. The Reds | were hot then, but Grissom's in- 1 jury crushed their spirit and the | Bees moved into Cincinnati and. knocked them off four in a row McKechnie said he asked Grissom whar-the idea was and that Lee answered “I won a game once by stealing second." To that McKechnie replied that he lost ten
