It was a closely Contested scrap all the way. with the Lima quintet , pulling away from the Commodores only in the closing minutes of the, tilt, played before a packed house at the local gym. The Buckeyes drew first blood on a field goal by Ted Riepenhoff, , Lima center who was the outstanding star of the game. The teams were tied at 2-2 on a pair of free j throws by Dick Gage, were knotted again at 4-4, and the Commodores then shot into the lead on Bill Gillig’s field goal and Jim Meyer's foul toss. Rhine's three points tied the score at 7-7, and the teams: leaded points to the end of the first ’ quarter, with Lima on top by asingle counter, 11-10. The second period was a repet i-: tion of the opening canto, with: the fans kept in an uproar as the teams exchanged points right down to the horn ending the first half, I with St. John’s retaining its one- | point margin at 27-26. Tempo of the tilt slowed down i considerably in the third quarter, with only 14 points scored. Lima increasing its lead to three points, 35-32, as the final eight minutes of . play opened. The Commodores whittled this ] margin to two points at 37-35 and - again at 39-37, but three consecu-; tive foul tosses by Wantrech and D.| Riepenhoff's field goal boosted she Buckeyek' margin to seven , points, a lead which the Commodores could not overcome in tlie '•losing minutes of play. T. Riepenhoff was the outstand- , ing scorer of the game with 18 , points on nine field goals, while Wantrech counted 14 for the winners.

He said Dewey ■| was the best political asset the Democrats had in this campaign. I DECLARES INDIA , (Cont. From Page One) ’ in 1946 and the country is now reshaping itself. The caste system has been removed from the national picture, Chavre said. The princes and rajahs have gone to work and the people are considered in the light of a human being. A follower of the great Gandhi, and a crusader for the rights as preached by. the Mahatma, the American • educated statesman voiced his disapproval several times of the tactics and philosophy of Winslon Churchill. India, said Chavre, is attempting to operate as one great nation and "we hope to have a federal government over all the states,” he explained. “We do not want a divided country, any more than you wanted Aaron Burr lo divide the United States,” he elucidated. At the conclusion of his stimulating talk. Mr. Chavre demonstrated how the Indian women fashioned a dress out of four yards of cloth. Mrs. Louis Jacobs was the model. The speaker was introduced by Dr. Fred Patterson, chairman of Rotary's International relations committee. Louis Jacobs presided in the absence of C. I. Finlayson. president. Mr. Chavre spoke to the high school students in this city yesj terday afternoon.
