Anderson Defeated In Overtime Till Indianapolis. Dec 29 (VP) A shake-up In Indiana high school basketball's statewide alignment obviously was in prospect today. Top-rated Anderson. secondranked Jasper and ninth place Gary Lew Wallace all fumbled fur the second time last night. Anderson, which took over where Jeffersonville left off atop the state parade two weeks ago. dropped a 34 32 overtime heartbreaker to resvrffent New Cnstle at New Castle. Jasper, bidding for Its loth triumph instead saw Ltfayeite Jeff ernon'a Broncos become the first major team to win 10 gumes ns coach Marion Crawley's crew took their own holiday tourney. 30-35. Wallace, still unsteady on de sense, staled tbe nets for 44 points, but let city rival Emerson drop in 47 and advance to the second round of the Gary holiday meet. Easily the most startling item, however, was Rushville’s 24-polnc shellacking by little Morristown. 51 27. Rushville, which opened with live straight victories, was regarded ns one of the state’s stronger clubs Another small school power was n t us successful tis Morris town. Gary Edison's Blue Blazer failed in a try for their 10th victory and lust their first game- to Gary Tolleston. 4132. in the Cary city meet. Eo«t Chicago Washington, featuring big Ray Rngelfs on the pivot line, trounced Whiting. 42-27. and then LaPorte. 43-32. to make its record read nine victories - no defeats. Wabash stayed on the east Chi' caffoana* heels in the "undefeated race" by coming from behind In the final seconds to nl< k Imogens port. 50-49. This kept the central Indiana conference pace-setters ev»n with Elkhart, with eight victories apeica South Bend Riley and South Bend Adams turned the South Bend holiday tourney into an allSouth Rend affair Riley trampel ed Goshen. 42-25. and Adams kayoed Nappanee. 45-25. South Bend's Central and Washington advanced to today s semifinal firing the night before. Michigan (Tty, last season champion at South Bend, hit rock bottom wiien. after a first round loss. It fell before .Mishawaka In tbe first game of the consolation round. 34 29. hi other noteworthy games.

' — o Urge ABC Entries Be Given Secretary All ABC entries should be given to the city association secretary before January 3 in order that entries may be sent to Milwaukee before the deadline of January 6. Entries for tbe state tourney must be In before February I In order to secure reservations for Decatur teams, which Is Saturday. April 6 Two more teams can be accomodated in the 360 average or under class. — '<»"■ — Cannibalism Why*' Cannibalism is sometimes practiced ss a respectful way to dispose of the aged and sick. A cultivated taste for human flesh, performance of the requirements of mystic rituals. and satisfaction of hunger in time of famine are among the many other types of cannibalism observed among primitive peoples. —— —o Harmless Weapons Ammunition, gases, t guns, tanks, other combat vehicles and secret military equipment that are no longer needed by the war department will be disarmed or demilitarized before being offered for disposal as surplus property. National defense and public safety and health require that a considerable part of this combat material be rendered Innocuous or stripped of secret parts, and the armed services themselves are in the best position to do this.
