School Sports Are Defended By Phillips INDIANAPOLIS (UPD— Commissioner L. V. Phillips of the Indiana High School Athletic Association today defended schoolboy sports against criticism by pointing to their “tremendous popularity” throughout the country. In effect. Phillips said former Harvard University President James B. Conant was “off base” when he called for abolition of athletic championships on the teen-age level. Conant, in a recent article in a national magazine, (Look), charged that “vicious overemphasis on competitive athletics” has resulted in school athletics getting apriority over classroom studies. “Our (athletic 1 program has been criticized for over-emphasis for 50 years,” said Phillips. “It has survived all attacks —and I assume it’ll survive this one.” For many years one of the most active prep athletic association commissioners in the country, Phillips said high school principals are "constantly at work” in an effort to bring athletics under as much control as possible. "I believe they have been and are doing a good job,” he said. “Hje public is sold on the idea that school sports under proper control is fine—they even consider marching bands part of such - eV Sws praised Cbnant a “very able educator” who has spent most of his time on the level. “I don’t think he realizes what would happen if school sports were abolished. I strongly disagree that schools don’t pay any attention to athletics. One of our most difficult jobs is to keep boys from violating the rules.” Dropping of schoolboy sports would, among other things, be an invitation for athletic-minded boys to participate in independent tourneys without regulations and under outside sponsorship, said Phillips- . .. .. “If those boys have the ability, they’ll play where they find the opportunity,” he said. •“I don’t think Dr. Conant realises what would happen. I think be is off base.” Ample Supplies At Attractive Prices WASHINGTON (UPD — MidJanuary food shoppers will find ample supplies of many of their favorite foods at markets this weekend—and at attractive prices, too.

Bareness Trend In Women's Fashions By GAY PAULEY UPI Women’s Editor , NEW YORK (UPD — Methinks that men shall never see, so many women display knee —as they will this spring and summer. i- Hemlines on the new clothes e move to heights not reached since h the flapper era of the 1920 s or I- World War II days when governor ment restrictions limited the h amount of cloth which could be | •. used in a garment. r Naked knees are just part of t the. bareness trend. Dresses are • more often sleeveless than not. f Necklines on daytime dresses bare B the collar bone. By evening, they’re about as demure as a Las 1 Vegas showgirl. Coats and suits are collarless and in many cases • have sleeves above the elbow to s assure a chilly Easter parade. j All of which, of course, adds up to happy news for the profess sional girl watchers. s It is hard to place the hemline t as a specific number of inches I from the floor. In this week’s previews of the new fashions, a serni- » annusfl event sponsored for visit- . ing reporters by the New York . couture group, they range any . where from 17 to 19 inches. > The “nothing” dress—« pared- . down sheath both sleeveless, collarless and short—is it this sea1 son. Some designers do provide covj ering in the forms of capes and > stoles, an apparent concession to . summer air-conditioning of homes, , restaurants and offices. Sylvia Kaplan, designer for Nat , Kaplan, a New York manufac- . turer, provided the gendarme , cape in a series of wool plaids—a cape short, flared and fastening ■ at the side like that of the French i policeman. David Kidd, designer for Arthur • Jablow, provided cape coats in . street length over ‘nothing’ , dresses. Bizarre Gimmicks Displayed Al Show By JOYCE SCHULLER United Press International CHICAGO — Decorative accessories with a hole in the head turned up at the International Home Furnishings Market this week. The crater-topped accessories are child-high ceramic sculptures with comic faces painted on them. They’re caled “golliwogs’ after the whismsical doll-like people in turn-of-the-century illustrations for books of the same name. The hole in the head of the sculptures makes them useful as planters, bowls, etc., in foyers, dens, children’s rooms or family rooms. The design won an award in the annual competition sponsored by the American Institute of Decorators. Just as bizarre is a new George Nelson-designed gimmick for decorating with plants and light. It’s called a plantscape and consists of trays and tripods, planters and poles of oiled walnut and aluminunj. The components can be assembled in diverse ways to hold a wide assortment of plants in dif-ferent-sized containers, all bathed in the glow of reflector lamp. Meridian clocks by the same designer have stunning. Italian-made ceramic faces in brilliant-to-subtle shades of contemporary pottery. They come in two sizes, with electric or battery movements. Other imaginative decorative accessories at the market include a Danish modern collection of wood-look plaques, clocks, sconces, mirrors and planters for wall hanging. Four pruned, formal trees, representing the four seasons. appear as a recurring motif, in the collection. Two geometrically-shaped wall clocks in the Collection operate on w Wz volt flashlight battery on I which they run for over a year.
