The Aggies met Long Island I'niverslty at .Mad Mon Square Garden, and the Importance ' of Kurkland was perfectly Ilinstrated. For the first half Kurland played a running, ball-handling floor-game the sort of j gain- an 1: average-aised eenter wt uld play. He stayed away from under the basket, and took few shots. At th n half Liu led by four points. Kurland revi ited t:> his usual game in the second half, atcod under he basket and dropped in his first four shots -and the game became a runaway.

Dec. 20 — (UP) —' The navy court which found CaptJ Charles B. McVay. 111. guilty of negligence in the loss of the cruls-1 er Indianapolis today sends Its. record < and recommended sent-} Mee to the navy department for review. Adm 8. 8. Colcloitgh. navy judge advocate general, will study the 170,000 word record of the proceedings to determine their legality. The court's sentence, which was not made public, will be reviewed later by the bureau of personnel. McVay wan tried on two charges growing out of the sinking of the Indianapolis in the Philippines sea last July 30 with ultimate loss ot 880 men. They were <i> neglig ence in not ordering the ship on a zigfag course in waters where Japanese nubs may have been lurking and (2) failure to issue "time ly" abandon ahip orders after the vessel was toi pedoed. The court cleared McVay of the second charge, holdlii II was "not proved" that he did not f«xue ade ; quate orders to abandon » »7p. It did not make a formal announcement on the charge of negligence under n«v»| court procedure, however, failure to announce the decision on the charge meant it found McVay guilty. No navy court can announce a guilty verdict without navy department re-1 view McVay's sentence could range | from a mere letter of censure to! death, although the latter is con- i sidered unlikely. He could te re-' duced in grade. . imprisoned, dis-. missed from the naval service or set back on the navy's promotion list. Should lhe sentence te diamissal or death, the case would have i to be reviewed by the president. The announcement of the sent- - ence will be made by the secretary i of the navy. He has the power to I reduce the sentence or absolve

I McVay completely. During the trial, which lasted two and a half weeks, the court heard testimony of more than s'> I j witnesses. They Includeil Cmdr. Iko Haxlmoto. commander of the j Japanese submarine which sank I the Indianapolis. " 1 -—— 12-Week Strike As Muncie Plants Ends Warner Gear Strike Ends On Compromise Muncie.
