lowa’s “iron man five” to victory. ■The Sophomore forward, in a slump most of the season, hit 14 points against Purdue with his unguardalble one-hand jump shots and played a major roll in offsetting a Purdue Rally.

Feb. 13. — (UP) — Officials should enforce the “hands off" rules now in the book and stamp out the rough-house tactics which I are beginning to .dominate basket- ' ball, big ten coaches said today. Basketball still is basically a non-contact sport and officials should end the rapidly growing tendency to make it a contact , game by crowding, rough playing and chopping, they said, explaining that it is not a case of drawing up new rules but merely enforcing the writing in the rule book. “I believe there is too much judgment being used and not enough whistle,” Harold (Bud) Foster, University of Wisconsin coach, said. Head coach Benny Oosterbaan of Michigan and his assistant, Bill Barclay, both agreed that basket- ' ball at present is too rough since , the “officials are unwilling to slow , . . . X. 1 •

the game with a parade to the foul line.” “The boys adapt themselves to the officiating,” Barclay said. “If the referee shows he means to call the fouls, the boys will stop fouling.” Although there have been singular instances in the past of coaches asking for better officiating, this | marks one of the rare times that all of them have agreed on one point — namely, that basketball is too bruising and that it is up to the 1 officials to concoct the cure. j Their statements came upon the . | heels of last week’s comment by | Doc Carlson, Pittsburgh coach, who said that the time has come to deCORTI 0 o — Last Time Tonight.— “MURDER in the BLUE ROOM” Grace McDonald, Donald Cook & “UNDER WESTERN SKIES”

V. Phillips of the Inidana high school athletic association with one lees team than he announced yesterday. The correct figure, Phillips said, was 776 teams, two short of last year’s total and 11 under the record field of 1937. Phillips said it was impossible at this time to determine which schools competing last season had decided not to play this time. Entry deadline was last Saturday. 0 UNITED STATES,

For foreign consumption the Nazi propaganda displayed equal uncertainty. Initial broadcasts merely gave the gist of the Crimea communique. Later, Nazi commentators said the big three had confirmed their policy of “hate and destruction” toward Germany. Broadcasts beamed to the United States said that the big three had adopted the “Morgenthau plan for enslavement and destruction” of the Reich, and had committed “the greatest political crime of all i times." ' cide whether the game is a coni tact or non-contact sport. * Indiana mentor Harry C. Good, suggested a disqualification foul I for anything more than body con- * tact, however, while Barclay and Pops Harrison of lowa asked for a | return to the four-foul rule. The fifth foul is causing much’ of The , bruising play, they claimed. L To give the little guy a break in | competition with the big man. Piggy Lambert of Purdue, Good and Barclay suggested that 42-foot baskets be tried, an idea originally voiced by Phog Allen of Kansas. The rest of the coachee, however, were content with the present antigoal tending restriction as enough curb on the big fellows. 0 , ■ USDA chemists have developed an apple juice concentrate that can be "remade” into a drink with all ” the flavor of fresh apple cider simply by adding five or aix parte of _ wafer to one part of concentrate.

fortress troops chewed up in the first rush of the Canadian first ' army offensive. The Germans, after losing more than 5.000 captives in the open- ' ing five days of the Ruhr-bound * attack, were trying with partial success to establish a new de- 1 sense line just east of the Reichs- 1 wald forest, extending southward from the Rhine to the Goch area. 1 Fierce tank and infantry battles were reported raging all along the makeshift Nazi defense line early today, although the flooded terrain prevented bothsides from bringing their full armored strength to bear. Farther to the south, the British second and American first and ninth armies were moving into position for a general offensive across the swollen Roer river into the Cologne plain. The river still was running over its banks at a number of points as a result of the partial demolition of the Schwammaneul dam below Aachen, and there was no confirmation of an Atlantic radio report that the three Allied armies already had opened their attack. On the U. S. third army front, Lt. Gen. George S. Patton’s troops rooted out the last German snipers from the Siegfried line stronghold of Pruem and extended their bridgeheads across the Our and Sure rivers balow that town, com- , pleting the second liberation of Luxembourg. Veteran Scottish and English troops, fighting under the Canadian first army command, were out in front of Gen. H. D. G. Crerar’s i offensive, pounding the Germans 1 back steadily beyond the west - wall anchors of Kleve and Geppen I and the Reichs forest between the two towns.

RUINEDCITY OF (Continued From Page One) through the streets of Budapest was believed to have left the ancient city in ruins. The devastation, by Moscow accounts, rivaled that at Stalingrad as the Red army noose tightened street by street, sometimes house by house. “Troops of the second Ukrainian front in cooperation with troops of the third Ukrainian front, after a month and a half siege and stubborn fighting in difficult conditions of a large town, today completed the rout of the enemy group surrounded at

Budapest, and thus completely captured the capital of Hungary, the town of Budapest, a strategically important stronghold in the German defenses on the way to Vienna,” Stalin’s order said. Among the 110,000 prisoners captured in the fighting in Budapest, Stalin reported, were the German commander of the garrison, Colonel General PfefferWildenbruch, and his staff. Large quantities of arms and various war materials were captured. the order said. Stalin ordered 24 salvos of 324 guns — the usual number tor the capture of a capital—in tribute to the captors of Budapest. o COLLEGE BASKETBALL lowa 48, Purdue 43. Illinois 71, Indiana 48.

(Continued From Page One) expenditures with current income in the next biennium,” Gates eaid. “We must, however, strive for that deeiralble end with all our energies and resources.” The Republican governor said that he did not share the view of others that the budget would be thrown as much as $18,000,000 out Os balance in the next two years. "I incline toward the belief, however, that those calling attention to thia possibility have some ground for offering a warning against the strikingly serious possibilities of the future,” he added. ■An outstanding reduction in state revenue and a continuance or increase of state expenditures would come only if the war with one or .both of the axis powers were terminated shortly and war contracts cut back drastically. Gates continued. A 50 per cent contract cut back would reduce state income by an eetimated >17,000,000 for the biennium, Gates eaid, adding that economic experts in the state administration foresaw expenditures totaling at least >1,000,000 more than revenues for the period under present economic conditions. "The early termination of the war In Europe may reasonably be expected to reduce state general fund revenues for the next biennium a total of $17,000,000,” Gates said. "It now seems clear to me that we face a most difficult task in attempting to hold a balanced budget against the demands of today and the uncertainties of the future.” Immediate reduction in governmental expense was “the first attack” to meet this problem under normal conditions, the governor •aid. r — o Democrat Want Ads Get Results

Walking through the mud, the mat her! and two children went to the ferry landing but the boat had just pulled into the stream toward Indiana. The children ran tc the landin and were embracing the dog when they fell into the stream, she eaid. After failing in the rescue attempt, Mrs. Wallis said, she locked

the dog in the farm house and went to the tow boat, Bou Arada. The crew took her across lhe river to Mt. Vernon where sheriff Ralph Rowe was notified. The body of the boy was released by Kentucky authorities to coroner Harry L. Wilson of Posey county. An autopsy was performed by Wil son who refused to disclose its results. Rowe and police chief Edgar Alldredge detained Mrs. Wallis for questioning and led the search for the bodies. < The officers said that she had reported to them several times recently that she was having domestic j trouble with her husband, Arthur N. Wallis, 37, an oil field worker at Norris City, IH, They informed Wallis of the drownings. S. J. Wallis, grandfather of the children and an Ohio river fisherman aided in the search for the body of the little girl. — o- — The difference between kitchen matches and the safeties is this: In the kitchen match the “eye” con-

UNITEDSTATES, (Continued From Page One) which Japan or Russia can denounce their mutual non-aggtess-ion pact. Furthermore, unlimited Russian participation in a United Nations discussion will put them at the same table with the Chinese, whom Russians have avoided becauce their enemies have not been the same. China fights Japan. Russia fights Germany. The Crimean report ended on a i note of unity for peace as for war. “Our meeting here in the Crimea,” said the .three most powerful men in the world, “has reaffirmed our common determination to maintain and strengthen in the peace to come that unity of purpose and of action which has made victory possible and certain. We believe that this is a sacred obligation . . The conferees significantly beckoned France to first rank political status in postwar peace machinery and promised her participation in the occupation of the beaten enemy. China also was breveted a first class power by promise of a permanent seat, along with France and the big three, on the world security treaty council. The bid for American and senatorial support was in the form of a vigorously enthusiastic confeience endorsement of the Atlantic charter. Congress welcomed • the report,

which was read in the senate and circulated among members of the recessed house. The reaction was not unanimous, but it was far from partisan. Republican senators rose with Democrats to say to Stalin, Churchill and Roosevelt —“Well done.” Former President Herbert C. Hoover called the Crimea agreement a “strong formation on which to rebuild the world. ’ “V is fitting.” he told a New York audience, “that it should have been issued on the birthday of Abiaham Lincoln.” TRAPPED JAPS (Continued From Page One) _■ — — all three divisions were locked in a slam-bang battle with the Japanese, now compressed into a pocket measuring about three square miles in an area bounded by the Pasig river on the north and on the east by a line running squth from the Ayala bridge to the Polo club. The Americans were using artil-

lery only against pin-pointed targets and their overwhelming air power was holding off because of the danger to Filipino civilians inside the Japanese pocket.
