The Broncos have been first for three straight weeks, something | no previous front-runner was able i to nuinag". Elkhurt, beaten only in a holiday tourney and riding the crest of u I<»game winning streak, stayed In third place this week because of the brilliant upsurg of Evansville Cent nil’s Golden Bears. The Blue Blazers from the far i north wen* In a |>osition to take over the No. 2 spot vacat d when Gary Tolleston upset East Chicago Washington, 61-45. But Central kayoed city rival Bosse's defending state champions, nipping Elkhart’s bid. Washington dropped to fourth place and Bosse slipped from third to sixth as Hammond high vault'd from ninth to fifth on the strength . of a 20 plont drubbing of Ham--1 mond Tech. Richmond retained I seventh, trouncing back from an upset loss ut Frankfort to snap New Albany's nlnegame skein. Fort Wayne South, trimming both Fort Wayne C. ntral and Wabash, climbed to eighth New Albany was displaced from the “big ten" ' to make way for South when Kok- [ (imo beat Anderson and Fort .

Wynn. — Start Campaign To Return Center Jump Chicago, Feb. 12 —(l'l*>—A campaign to return the center Jump to basketball was started today by two of the mid west's outstanding coaches, Arthur (Dutch) Longborg of North western and Ray Meyer of DePaul. lajnborg and Meyer both have experienced great auccees In coaching since the advent of "race borae basketball," but now believe the | game should be slowed down and that the return of the center jump h the most effective means of accomplishing this objective. The center jump was eliminated from the huehetball code in 1937 and alnee then the premium on speed and giant centers who could control the boards to set up court length passes has Increased each season "Bohketbail kt a game subject Io cycles of style," lambotg said, "and I believe the time Is at hand for us to slow the game down. The emphasis before 1937 was on deliberateness and to <»uch an extent that uotne said the sport was losing Bs appeal. There »s no question about basketball being a spectator eport, but I believe the pendulum bus swung too far to the side of speed, with the result that there is a danger of the current atyle generating into one of monotony. I believe the return of the center jump would do much to slowing the game down, without destroying any of its appeal." Ixmborg, who has bad 20 years of collegiate coaching experience, k of the opinion a return of the center jump would again make the • "play system" a vital part of the game. “Every jump at center set In motion a definite play pattern," Ixmberg pointed out, **we worked off tbe center jump to set up the entire offense. Jt gave spectators something concrete to follow instead of the scrambles that are now In vogue." Meyer, whose DePaul team won the national Invitatloiiai tournament at New York a year ago, claimed the premium on apood has caused court skill to deb riorate. “It isn't pawing sUU, clever play making or great team coordination that is required to have a winner . y W -S’.,*-.-.'

I today,” he stated, “hnt the prime requisite Is to have a finely conditioned squad that can go 40 minutes at break neck speed." Meyer contended that defense Is vlrtuully a "lost art" In baeketball. “It used Io lie that after a basket I wax made, the team scored against I used tbe time bctw<-cn th*' liasket . and the next center jump to check i up and •«■<* whose man it was that made Hie points," he said, "but no one Imthvrs with thul now, all the , Imys want to do is gr.ih the hull I out of iMHimh ami throw It to the , other end of the court nnd try to . get those points hack.' While neither Lottlmrg or Meyer would predict when the move to I return the center jump would gain sufficient t-upport to be put back in the cage c *de. Imth were confident "It won't be too long.” — ———-o— — — - Oscar Lankenau Is Named Bowling Head Oscar lainkcnau, local dry goods merchant, was renamed president of th- Decatur howling ns>xM-iatlon during election of offl< era. held an a part of a meeting Monday night nt the B.

At tbe same Hine. < on-'umors got another foretaste of the future food picture In a report showing that January milk production sagged to n new five-year low. the result of u sharp decrease in the number of dairy cattle. The new government order diverting grains front livestock feed to human consumption was expected to curtail milk production even more iu coming months. The emergency order for darker flour wm officially decreed by President Truman only for the first half of 1946 or until the U. R. can meet Ha wheat commitments to hungry nations. Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson told millers that they probably could return to the manufacture of white flour hy Aug. 1. Nevertheless, the possibility of a small wheat crop next summer and still high foreign demands may force retention- of the dark flour order beyond that date. The milting Industry already h convinced that the order will lie extended. ■■■ JBJI -n Adams Post Sponsors Bouts For Veterans A boxing match for patients at the Veterans hospital In Marton, to lie held in the near future, will be sponsored by Adams Post 43, American legion Golden Gloves fighters of prominence will he included on the night's card.
