Bluffton Approves Contract On Power The Bluffton city council in a recent session formally approved a contract with Indiana and Michigan Electric company for the purchase of a 4.000 KVA power demand. This block of power will supplement the city’s own generating system which has a generating capacity of 4,500 kilowatts. The city’s current peak demand is about 4,400 kilowatts. Like Decatur, the Bluffton community decided that purchased power was the most feasible method of increasing the city’s power supply. The Bluffton • News-Banner reports that it is expected that 18 months time will elapse before the actual tie-in of city and I&M facilities can be completed.

Eckman Quits As Coach Os Pistons DETROIT — W — The Detroit Pistons today are scheduled to announce the hiring of a new coach to succeed the fast-talking Charley Eckman who “resigned” Wednesday in the midst of his worst season. Fred Zollner, Piston’s owner, said a successor would be named by tonight and that the new coach would not be from within the Detroit professional basketball team which has won only nine of 26 games this season. Zollner said the new coach the Pistons hoped to obtain "has many years of experience in the National Basketball Association.” Minneapolis Wins By UNITED PRESS The Minneapolis Lakers weren’t able to stop Neil Johnston but still managed to defeat the Philadelphia Warriors, 108-102. in the only National Basketball Association game played Wednesday night. Johnston, former league scoring champion hoping to regain that crown, scored 30 points, including 11 in the first period. But the Lakers, after trailing by 56-55 at halftime, went ahead to stay when Corky Devlin tallied a three-point play halfway through the third period. Vern Mikkelsen wound up as the Laker’s high scorer with 23 points. The fourth - place Lakers still trial third-place Detroit by three games in the league’s Western Division.

Home Courts Os Advantage To Nel Teams By FRED DOWN Unltd Press Sports Writer There’s fresh new evidence today thjrt the best way to stay out of trouble in college i basketball is to stay out of the other fellow's back yard. Only three of the nation’s top dozen teams were in action Wednesday night and two of them lost—on their rivals' courts. Unranked Wichita whipped lOth-rated UCLA, 83-68. at Wichita. Kan., and Illinois downed Rice, 85-82, in a thriller at Champaign, 111. The loss was the first for UCLA but the third in five games for Rice which is rated 12th in the country. , At the same time, ninth-ranked Maryland had matters all its way on its College Park, Md.. walloping Nazy, 88-58, for No. 5 in a row. And rugged Louisvnse whipped Marquette, 73-65. at Louisville, Ky. Wichita threw up a tight defense in the second half to overcome a 41-34 halftime deficit and score its fifth victory in six games. Wichita went ahead of the Pacific Coast Conference title contenders, 62-61, on a free throw by Don Locke with seven minutes and 53 seconds remaining and never was headed thereafter. Wichita's Al Tate and UCLA’s Ben Rogers shared scoring honors with 19 points each. Illinois, shaping up as a strong Big Ten contender despite the fact that it does not have a good big man, had a 45-41 lead over Rice at the half and was tied but never headed in the second half. It was a key win for the Illir because they proved they could beat a team with, a big man. Rice’s key man was 6-foot, 10inch Temple Tucker, who scored 12 field goals and four free throws for 28 points. But Don Ohl connected for 29 for Illinois and sophomores Govoner Vaughn and Marv Jackson had 12 and 12 respectively. Sophs Charlie McNeil and Al Bunge starred as Maryland remained unbeaten with its easy triumph over Navy. McNeil had 22 points and Bunge, a 6-8 “strong man,” had 18 for the taller Terrapins. I Oklahoma City out - shot Wyoming, 23-11, from the foul line for the big difference in a 75-59 trilumph; Virginia had four players in double figures as-, it downed Washington and Lee. 87-63; Vanderbilt romped over The Citadel, 90-61, Dartmouth beat Holy Cross, 69-64, Connecticut defeated Colgate, 82-61, and Niagara whipped Syracuse, 78-61, in other games.
