New Way To Detect Pregnancy Easier

By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor NEW YORK (UPI) — A new way of detecting pregnancy before it is in any way apparent offers the promise of being easier and cheaper than the now widely used frog and rabbit tests, while being at least as accurate. It is a test tube test strictly, eliminating the use of laboratory animals. The substance tested in the test tube is a sample of blood from any woman who wishes to know whether or not she’s pregnant. Into the tube, along with this sample, goes a laboratory-made substance which chemically antagonizes one of the first body chemistry products resulting from a beginning pregnancy. This is chorionic gonadotropin. It is manufactured in the forming outer-membrane of the sac in which the new life will develop, and some of it gets into the woman’s blood and other body fluids. Tube is Whirled The test tube is whirled, by machine, not too gently because the two substances must be enough mixed to react if they're going to, but not too violently mixed, because the reaction patterns can be broken up. The eye should then be able to tell if there has been a reaction. If there has been one the woman has tested pregnant. Chorionic gonadotropin also is the basis of the frog and rabbit tests. Samples of a woman’s body fluids are put into these animals and if their body chemistry reacts the substance is present and

Terre Haute's Garfield Turns In Top Upset By KURT FREUDENTHAL United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Who said Indiana’s high school basketball tourney is getting dull?• ■ True, the “little ones” are gone and the city slickers rule the state finals for the fifth consecutive year.

the test is “positive." But this procedure takes several days. Laboratory animals are expensive to get and to maintain. Another drawback is that the frog is not very sensitive to human chorionic gonadotropin in summer and this invites “false positives.” Supervises Test Trial Dr. J. H. Hill, pathologist of the Trinity Lutheran Hospital, of Kansas City, supervised a trial of the new testing technique with 111 women and reported the results to the Missouri State Medical Association. At the same time the women were tested with either frogs or rabbits. In 97 of the 111 the animal or “biological" result and the strictly test tube result were in agreement, either positively or negatively. That left 14 women for whom the two testing methods were in disagreement. Six actually were pregnant, as it turned out, just as the test tube test said but the biological test denied. But the negative result of the biological test of four other women turned out to be correct which meant the “positives” of the test tube test of them were false. The remaining four of the 14 women were not “followed up” for one reason or another. The four instances in which the test tube said a woman was pregnant when she wasn't, Hill attributed to the inexperience of the laboratory technicians in estimating the chemical reactions in the test tubes.

that dropped 9 of its first 12 games, turned giant-killer Saturday night and knocked off powerful state champ Evansville Bosse, 60-55, for the Evansville semi-state title and the biggest upset in three weeks of tourney warfare. Garfield thus qualified to meet towering South Bend’s thirdrisked Bears in the second afternoon game at Butler Fieldhouse Saturday—after the Muncie Cen-tral-Lafayette opener. The winners clash that night for the title. Garfield had its hands full before outlasting Seymour in the afternoon, 52-51, while Bosse outclassed little Ireland, 61-36. In the title game, it may have been a case of Bosse looking past Garfield and ahead to this week’s state finals, but to Garfield coach Willard Kehrt, “it was the most satisfying victory I’ve ever had.” “Bunch of Nobodies’’ “If you would have told me this would happen six weeks ago, I would have said you’re crazy,” said Kehrt. “The boys had their first look at Bosse Saturday afternoon and felt they could do it.” Kehrt used his starters the entire route to gain the finals for the first time since 1947. “We took a bunch of nobodies that weren’t supposed to go anywhere,” he said. “Now look where we are. This ballclub came along when it wasn’t supposed to.” Superior height and rebounding helped second-ranked Muncie spill top-rated and unbeaten Columbus in the most crucial Saturday afternoon game, 79-70, and Muncie shook off stout Indianapolis Ripple at night, 76-67, despite tremendous shooting by the Rockets’. Bill Brown, who canned 33 points. Columbus, a 25-game winner, tried to become the eighth team in the finals with a perfect slate. , The South Benders, only team to lick Muncie during the season, had the easiest time, blasting Berne, 7642, and Huntington, 74-53, and both times it was a

breather. Lafayette rolled over Royal Center, 81-66, at Purdue after outlasting 1962 runnerup East Chicago Washington in an overtime thriller, 73-68, in their “rubber” tourney clash, although 6-8 Rich Mason dropped 35 points in a losing cause for the best singlegame performance of the day. East Chicago beat Lafayette for the semi-state title last year in overtime, 67-66, and Lafayette won four years ago, 56-52. Indianapolis Ripple qualified against Muncie by handing Connersville its third consecutive semi-state afternoon defeat, 55-51. Royal Center romped over* Greencastle, 67-46, to qualify against Lafayette, while Huntington beat Noblesville, 79-68, to get a crack at the South Benders. South Bend vs Muncie? The well-worn form chart installed Muncie and South Bend as the teams expected to clash for the title, thus setting up a return scrap on a neutral floor. The Muncie-Lafayette meeting is also their second. Muncie won from the Bronchos during the season, 61-53, enroute to the North Central Conference crown. Jimmy Rayl’s all-time individual scoring record of 114 points, set for Kokomo in 1959, appeared to be safe for another year. Rick Jones, Muncie’s crafty 5-11 guard, led semi-state shooters with 49 points. Broad Ripple’s brilliant Brown was second with 44 and Mike Rolf of Muncie pumped in 43. Three of the four finalists are averaging in the 70s on offense, with Lafayette leading with a 77.4 point average for seven games. Muncie averaged 75.7 for eight, South Bend 71. Garfield averaged

South Bend allowed its seven tourney rivals just 49 points per game to lead in defense and beat them by an average winning margin of 22 —also tops. Garfield had the second-best defensive average, 50.8, but also beat its foes by the smallest margin—ll. 2 points. Muncie, ’now 27-1, grabbed a record 13th spot in the final four. And two more victories will make the Bearcats the first school to win the coveted cup five times. Former Monroe Lady Dies At Fort Wayne Mrs. Lucy Crose, 85, of 1433 Third street.
