Badgers Score Second Win To Lead Big Nine Chicago, Jan. ts -(UP) —Bud Foster's early-season Blue Notes about the dismal prospects for his Wisconsin basketball team were slightly sour around the Big Nine today. Foster's Badgers stood alone at the top of the league after two nights of play with two consecutive victories oyer clubs ranked as favorites for the title. Illinois and Minnesota. The defending champion Badgers j measured the Illini, an early sea-' son darkhorse which advanced to the top bracket after winning seven pre-conference scraps. Saturday by five points. Then last night Wisconsin permitted Minnesota's gigantic Jim Me Intyre to boot home 29 points, but the Badgers still won a 59 to 50 victory. Foster assigned two men to guard Me Intyre. They were Ed Mills and Don Renfeldt. each 61 feet 6 inches tall compared to Me I Intyre's 6 feet 9 inches. And while ! they couldn't hold the Gopher star, i they managed to keep him away from the rebounds and their pass- | ing out to Doug Rogers and Bobby Cook set up enough points for these two smaller stars to enable Wisconsin to win. Cook, who netted 187 points for the Big Nine individual scoring championship last season, counted IS against the Gophers to start the league season with a good chance

to retain his title. Wisconsin wasn't the only western conference club which was impressive in the four games played last night. lowa remained the only undefeated club in the loop with an easy 49 to 41 triumph over Ohio State at Columbus. The Hawkeyes held a 36 to 18 advantage at the halt, and although Ohio moved closer during the early minutes of the second period, lowa held off the threat to win handily. Murray Wier, slim red-headed sharpshooter for the Hawks, netted 18 points. lowa was the first and only Big Nine team to win a league game on a foreign floor this season. In the other two league games, Illinois bounced Northwestern, 52 to 47. and Purdue set back Indiana. 58 to 49. The Illini triumphed by exactly 1 the same score by which they lost i

Vote Michigan As No. 1 Grid Team Detroit, Jan. 6 —(UP) — By a fat 72 percent margin, the University of Michigan football team was declared superior today over Notre Dame's fight in’ lirish in a poll by the Detroit free press in which sports editors in all 48 states and the District of Columbia participat- | ed. The sports editors, who backed the unbeaten and untied Wolverines. reasoned number one spot over the nation's number one spot over Notre Dame because of their superiority over the Irish against three common foes. The Wolverines piled up 167 points to 21 for the opposition in whaling Southern California, Pitts- | burgh and Northwestern against 1 thesame teams Notre Dame made 1 104 points while yielding 32.

Evansville's • Central Still $ Tops Standing Indianapolis. Jan. 6 — (VP) There was little chance noted in the fifth weekly statewide United >. Press rankings ot Hoosier prepschool basketball teams today as v the clubs resumed conference play. And with one eye on the sectionals at the end of next month and v the other focused on league standings, most of the clubs prepared for a busy year. Richmond, upset by Indianapolis f Technical in a North Central conference tilt last Friday, and beaten • twice in the Marion New Year’s day tourney, was the only club ! missing from the “big ten" roster 1 this week. 1 The Red Devils were succeedd ' by Fort Wayne South, which blast- ‘ ed both Richmond and the host 1 team to win the Marion meet. 1 In order to get their 18-gatne pre- ' tournament schedules under the belt, several of the top-ranking powerhouses will see double - duty this week. Opportunities to hit the winning trail may knock on the doors of Richmond and Princeton, front-runners in the early stages of the campaign. The Tigers, their perrect record shattered in the Evansville Christmas tourney, will attempt to even a score at Evansville Bosse tonight before hosting Terre Haute Wiley on Friday. Marion Crawley's Broncos of Lafayette Jefferson, undefeated in conference play, will start the week off tonight against Lebanon before returning to their own floor against Frankfort's Hot Dogs on Friday. I Madison’s Strong Cubs, in fifth place in the poll, probably have the

easiest assignments. Coach Ray Eddy’s boys will travel to state champion Shelbyville tonight and shouldn't have much trouble getting past the Golden Bears. On Friday they will meet Aurora in a conference game. Evansville Central, still atop the rankings and idle since the Lafayette tourney, will journey to Cincennes on Friday for its only engagement this week. Os outfits in action on Friday and Saturday. LaPorte and Fort Wayne Central have rugged assignments. The Slicers, who apparently have taken a liking to weekend games, will battle Goshen on Friday and well-regarded Hammond High the following night. Fort Wayne Central, meanwhile, will match baskets with South Bend Central and then will travel to on-and-off Richmond Also on the comeback trail is New Albany, loser to Seymour last’week. The Bulldogs have two tough ones this week, facing Huntingburg and Bloomington in southern Indiana conference tilts. That left the fifth weekly United Press statewide rankings as follows : 1. Evansville Central (won 9 lost 0) 2. Lafayette Jefferson (10-1) .3. LaPorte (10-0) 4. Bedford (10-1) 5. Madison (8-1) 6. Fort Wayne Central (8-1) 7. Lawrenceburg (9-0) 8. East Chicago Washington (5-1) 9. New Albany (7-3) 10. Fort Wayne South (6-1) Well-regarded: South Bend Central (7-2); Terre Haute Garfield (4-1); Brazil (8-1); Culver (8-1); Plymouth (8-3); Elkhart (9-2); Franklin (8-2). — —o MOMENTOUS (Continued from Page 1) gram staged by the Democratic national committee last Friday. The speakers included house speaker Joseph W. Martin. Jr., chairman Eugene D. Millikin, Colo., of the senate finance committee, Taft and Halleck. After blaming the administration for unwelcome developments in Europe. Millikin predicted that congress would approve a foreign aid program but he did not say how closely it would resemble the Marshall plan requests of the administration. Besides his blast at "police state" methods, Taft blamed administration policies for high prices and I said congress had given Mr. Truman "all the powers needed to stop inflation by American methods." "Does the president think that Democratic chances are better if he keeps the boom going, even at the cost of a serious depression and hardship to millions of consumers?” Taft asked. Martin promised that congress would cut the cost of government and pass a tax reduction bill. He described the maintenance of taxes at wartime levels as "intolerabls and indefensible." " Halleck accused Mr. Truman ol breaking "a solemn promise" to co operate with congress and of lead i ing opposition to every major Re M I publican • sponsored bill.

Ben Hogan Takes Los Angeles Open Los Angeles, Jan. S—(UP5 —(UP) —

Steel-nerved Ben Hogan, goltdom’s leading money winner in 1946, was hard-bent on regaining the honor today with the victor’s share of the first professional golf tourney of 1948 already in his pocket. Yesterday Hogan negotiated the fog-pocketed fairways of Riviera country club for a sizzling 67, four under par. to capture the 22nd annual SIO,OOO Los Angeles open with a 275, nine strokes below par. His total broke the open record for the course of 280 he set last year in winning the event. He also took the crown ip 1942. Trailing Hogan by four strikes at 279 for second place honors was Lloyd Mangrum. U. S. open winner in 1946, who also shot a final 67 today. Hogan collected $2,000 for winning the event. Mangrum $1,400 for placing second. South Africa’s Bobby Locke, grouped at the start of the day with Ed Furgol and Ellsworth Vines at 211, three strokes behind Hogan, soared to a 76. Vines turned in a one over par 72 to capture third place and Furgol carded a 73 to tie for fourth with Sammy Snead at 284. Frank Stranahan, Toledo. Ohio, led the amateur field with 289. 0 COLLEGE BASKETBALL Purdue 58, Indiana 49. Wisconsin 59, Minnesota 50. Illinois 52, Northwestern 47. lowa 49, Ohio State 41. Notre Dame 77, Georgetown 69.

'Williams, area rent director of the Fort Wayne area rent office, stated today that traili er camps were removed from the . provisions of the federal rent control regulations by action of hous- ■ ing expediter Tighe E. Woods. This . action was taken because motor I courts previously had been decon- . trolled by congress. As a result, > trailer camps which were part of . motor courts were decontrolled and trailer camps which were not, were t still under control. The amends ment. effective January 5, gives t uniform treatment to all trailer i accommodations. It decontrols all - housing accommodations located in trailers and ground space rented s for trailers. t Mr. Williams urged managers of b these types of accommodations to s use good judgement in adjustment e of rents for these trailers and trailer spaces, as unwarranted and f exhorbitant rent raises could easily i- result in action by congress to re-I-1 establish controls on these types >- of accommodations if rent legislaI tion is renewed after February 29.

Berne Forward Lost For Several Weeks Berne. Jan. 6 — James "Jim” Shoemaker, regular forward on the Berne high school basketball team, is apparently lost to the team for several weeks and possibly for the season.

The leg swelled up and a Fort Wayne specialist advised an operation. Shoemaker is expected to be out of action at least a month. o Hill Is Reelected Conservation Head All officers of the Adams county conservation club were renamed last night during the annual election of officers at the city hall building.

N. Y„ Jan. 6— (UP) —Hindu India and Moslem. Pakistan were slated to exchange 1 charges in the United Nations security council today over the bloodshed and dissension marking their first five months as independent ' nations. The charges will open the secur1 ity council debate on India's plea for UN steps to halt Moslem raids on inhabitants of the state of ■ Kashmir in northwest India. The raiding parties have swooped from 1 across the Pakistan border. The council was expected to assert its authority over the dispute by placing the case on its agenda. After hearing opening statements by representatives of India and ; Pakistan, (at about 2:30 p.m. EST) delegates planned to postpone further debate at the request of Pakistan. A cable from Karachi advised a the UN yesterday that Pakistan foreign minister Zafrullan Khan t would be unable to reach here for e several days to argue Pakistan's ( side of the case. A substitute will j sit for him until he arrives. The United States and Great Britain were known to believe the delay should be granted. Britain expressed anxiety over the fighting in Kashmir, however, and one British official said it was r, possible the security council would I, be asked to issue a mild “ceaser fire order” to both India and J Pakistan before adjourning the j. argument. ▼ India brought the long-festering n dispute into the council with a r- formal charge that Pakistan, by i- giving support and sanctuary to raiding parties from the Punjab (territory, was supporting international aggression against the Indian-absorbed state of Kashmir. In reply Pakistan was scheduled to insist that the UN consider all L the issues marring Indian-Pakistan 3- relations instead of confining itt- self to the single question of bloodfl shed in the Kashmir. Other issues y include a dispute over India’s a claim to Kashmir and several fink ancial questions growing out of r the partition of British India into 3. two independent British domind ions last Aug. 15. 0 The typical American goes to a bed at 10 o’clock on week nights h and gets up at 6:30 am., according e to the National Association of Bedding Manufacturers.
