Auburn Rated Team To Beat In NEI Loop (Editor* note: Thl* I* the second in a serie* of stories on 194546 season basketball prospect* 111 major Indiana high school conference*). By Jarre* E, Walters Indianapolis. Nov. 30 t4'l*4 Year In and year out the northeastern Indiana high school conference figures as the weakest In all round basketball str-ngth of the slate’s major leagues, but Auburn’s Red Devils, nearly prohibitive < holer io wlu the title again, appear capable of giving the lr st in the state a run for their money again thl* season. In fact, the swift Red Devils of coach Keith Showniter look ev- n stronger than last year's great dub. which won 24 out of 26 game* before losing to .Muncie Central In the tournament semi-finals. S' owalter, n likeable, eg all state man In hl* sixth year at Auburn, hasn't lost a conference game since 1943 44 season ams is bidding for hi* fourth NEK’ championship Rival coaches admit that stopping Auburn’s title drive this time will tw really tough. Key man for Auburn Is cnrly haired, serious Bill Wattler When plvot-tnan Wattler wan a sophomore. Showalter asserted: ’l've one boy Hill Wattler who I wouldn't trade for any other play er ip the state.” The burly Auburn coach has n ver changed his mind ami for good reason. Wattler averaged IS points a game as a sophomore, boosted it to 25 points a game as a junior last season wh n Auburn lost threw games by a total margin of five points - and this year has been , tossing them in at about the same ; pace Other stalwarts in the veteran Auburn llnup- which averages six feet one Inch tall are guard John ny Hines and forward Bernard "big hoy” Broderick. Peppery Hines Is a spark plug, dribbler and crack shot, besides being a fine defensive man Broderick, one of the fastest men on th*-1 squad despite his height, special-I Ues In a corner shot. Columbia City's veteran but not too tall Eagles and possibly Warsaw’s Tigers and Kendallville’s Comet* may throw a block Into Auburn's aspirations for a third straight title. Warsaw, a recent transfer to the NEIC from the central Indiana conference, Isn't eligible for the crown because it plays only three leagu- foes. One of these, however. I* with Auburn—on Jan. 25.

Elliott's Dog Blaze Destroyed Sunday Dog Killed After Attacking Fala _— Rhinebeck. N. V„ Nov. 30 — (UP) —Blaze, the 130-pound English bull mastiff owned by Elliott liousevelt, was destroyed Sunday ! for attacking Fala. spunky but underweight Scottie pet of the lute President Roosevelt. Blaze was destroyed a> the request of the late president’s son to prevent future attacks. Dr. Thoma* Sheldon, veterln-1 arlan who treated Fala on Saturday, destroyed the mastiff. He severed the head and sent it to I the New York department of ■ health for examination for a possible rallies Infection. Blaze, a black-nosed lop-eared dog, has been a source of trouble for the Roosevelts since entering tho United States from England : last January. A gift from the then Brig. Gen. ] Elliott Roosevelt to his actressi wife. Faye Emerson, the dog was shipped by army transport plane. When the plane stopped at Memphis a soldier and sailor were bumped off because of over-load-ing. But Blaze, with an A priority, continued his trip. The incident created a congressional flurry of Investigation. Blaze and Fala clashed on Saturday when the little terrier, almost as famous as his late master, visited Hyde Park. Fala came walking up beside Blaze, held by a leash. The big dog made a leap and, before anyone could halt him, was on Fala's back. Someone picked up a rock and struck the mastiff on the head. Dazed, the dog fell back and Fala was snatched to safety. Fala sustained a deep slash on the back and several stitches were required to close the wound. Fala's right eye also was lacerated. Sheldon took both dogs to his kennels following the fight. Fala’s wounds were treated. Today he was strutting about, ready to be released. —" ——o Hearsay Evidence Is Ruled Out Os Trial Local Man Witness In Durham Trial Fort Wayne, Ind., Nov. 30 — (UP)—The war fraud trial of the Durham Manufacturing Corp, was conducted today under the restriction that the court would not give consideration to testimony comprising conversation lietween unauthorixe<l employes of the firm.
