Purdue, I. U.

Indiana meets Notre Dame and Purdue plays Butler in the second round of the two-day “big four” tourney here tonight. The Irish trailed the riveters the entire tilt until its dying minutes, when Purdue's Andy Butchko fouled Barnhorst, who canned the free throw with some 10 seconds to go. Notre Dame kept their precisionlike game rolling, although trailing at halftime, 28 to 26. and falling behind in the third period, 41 to 33. The Irish managed to tie the score seven times. When the Irish started their rally, big John Foley poured in two fast buckets and Paul Gordon can ned a long shot to knot the count at 50-all. Barnhorst led the Irish ■with 14 points, while Butchko paced Purdue with 13. It was Purdue's first loss in seven games. < In the second thriller on the hardwood menu, Butler snapped the Hoosiers’ perfect six-win record by clicking well on long shots and staging a terrific second-half comeback. Although the game was tied up at halftime. 24-all, the Bulldogs, led by diminutive Ralph O’Brien, Bob Evans. Jim Doyle and Bill Shepherd, overcame an early Hoosier advantage to grab their fourth win in a row. Indiana took command of things

Voigts thought California’s reserve strength would be too much for Northwestern. “I’m disappointed In our second and third teams,” he said. “It may be a battle that is decided by reserves and California has a big edge there.” Sugar Bowl

Some folks wonder a'jES’F how we do it! - ' < ’ '• J f And well they may, when they read what's happening to the railroads. / Since 1939 everything the railroads use has gone up nearly 100%. th 6 meantime, freight rates have increased only 44%; ' passenger fares even less-about 25%, / y How do the railroads do it? JB a jf By the wise use of profits and investment-the basis for all progress in America! I K B■" 'Wfc J - ears s ' nce F‘ rst World War, the railroads have invested ■*9 more dollars in new equipment and improvements, for every 1 dollar \ P a *d out t 0 e ‘ r owners m dividends. As.a result, the railroads h avc kept costs down and do a better job all around. That means a saving 1 : "1 1 for manufacturer, the supplier and, of course, you, the public. , 4 But that kind of progress can’t go on if earnings today are kept too low. Like other companies, the railroads need a fair profit for the service they perform —because profits provide the money for greater improvements H efficienc y- These in turn lead to lower costs not only for those using || the ra^roa<^s ’ but for everybody! Good as the railroad record has been, * . it can be even better in the future-but only if railroad incomes are allowed to keep pace with the rising costs of operation.
