THE SECOND GAME WAS om that really started the thrills. Shortndge was much smaller bu. then tremendous jumping ability made them an exciting team to wat< h Marion jumped to a first period lead as the Giants were playin ' g«x«d ball. Things looked bad b r Shortndge when their center H It. got in foul trouble early and had to leave the game, but this didn't stop the Blue I^’vils at all Ts anvthlng it *>emed to give them a.lift After leading 13-H at the end of the first period, it look'd like Man'll might have be< n playing juri a little to careful" but also they fell way off in their shooting an^ the Indianapolis entry came ba< fe in a rather low scoring qwcit'-r t । take a 24-23 had as tin- Glints only collected five p dnt in the secund period. THINGS BEGAN TO LOOSEN up in the third quarter and with Evans .and Alien leading the way. the Shortridg< team began to oj>en up a larger margin. However Marion was not done by any means. They battled bark from deficits of up to nine points, but came battling back to trim the lead to a single point before Shortridge again scored. Then came the real excitment. Marion finally tied the count at 56-56 with IS seconds to go. Shortridge came down the floor and looked like they were trying to set Allen up for the final shot, but the big Marion defense was working hard to stop any shots until thev got the ball to Evans on the side. He let a jumper fly over 66" Suttor before the buzzer and the ball hit nothing but the bottom of the net to gave the Shortridge t« am an exciting SR--56 win. THIS SET THE STAGE FOR the finals between Shortridge and Garry Roosevelt. No Gary bam had even won a state crow and RiHisevelt then took care of that. Once again the Short ridge team was giving away considerable size under the basket and as the game progressed, it was this fact alone that turned the tide to Roosevelt's favor. No < ne doubted the ability of the much smaller Short ridge boys but against the big front line of Gary's, well the statistics point out what happ* ned In th> first half, a 32-32 score resulted. However Roosevelt was ahead in the rebound department 28-11. Also the fouls were important. The Panthers had hit 10 of 13 while Shortridg£ had on two of thiee attempts. Short ridge was doing the best job in percentage shooting, but the fact that Roc sev< It was controlling the boards gave them a definate advantage in this no spect.

FOULS TURNED OUT TO BE extremely important. In the final tally, it was the free throw lin< that apt lied the difference. The one-pointers kept Roosevelt in the game and whint the nip-and-tuck battle finally broke open In the last minute and a half, free throws again were important. In all. Shortridge outscored Roosevelt from the fl«M»r 56-52, but the 16 five throws to four of Shortridge made the difference. BOTH TEAMS HAD SOME out landing boys and herns at various times. However, th* thing that impressed most people was the overall power of these two clubs. There wasn't any shooters in the games that could match Smith and Evans hut the board strength by the forwards end centers an I halt h ndling display m<>st of the time by the guards, proved the all-round power of the clubs. FOUR HUNDRED AND cigthy-eight teams started the play and 487 bowed out along the way as Gary Roosev It reigns supreme for another year. However, don't he surprise! if once again some drastic chnn’es come about come tourn y time next year. This year it was ju^t one favorite after another falling, starting in the opening rounds of the Sectionals. This was the year for the upset, proving once again that anything can happen in an Indiana basketball game, and certainly in the state tourney. MUCH SPECULATION HAS been kicked around on what will happen next year in many anas. The number of schools will continue t<> dwindle as the reorganization continues to cut its path through the number of schools. However, new gyms, fieldhouses and constant building will continue to shift scenes from one place to another and in this area much change could be seen. It is expected that South Rend will have a double sectional such as Ft. Wayne has as the new Notre Dame convocation center with its some 12.500 seating for basketball will be ready. If this is the case, we hope to see regionnls at both South Bend and Elkhart, doing away with such as the Ixigansport center in the old Berry Bowl What will happen when the semistate alignment comes up, remains to be seen. Ft. Wayne has been a fine host for the northeastern part of the state for years and whether or not the colesdum will lose this meet remains to be seen. At any rate, basketball in Indiana will continue to give to all the thrills and excitement such as was dis-

play«d all over the state this year right down to the final battle Saturday night. Ball State Program To Aid Librarians Because of the critical shortage of librarians for elementary and secondary schools, public libraries and college and university libraries, Ball State University will offer a graduate program leading to a Master of Library Science degree. Dr. Marion Grady. Ball State librarian, said the. graduate program will begin the fall quarter although stud«nts may enroll in courses during the summer terms. A number of assist.ant ships are available to qualified graduate students for the academic year. Stipends, Dr. Grady said, range from $2 400 to $2,750. d< - pending on previous experience. Candidates without previous academic training in library science will need to take a preparatory core of work requinxl of undergraduate library science minors before being admitted to the graduate program. Dr. Grady pointed out. To be eligible for the Master of Librarx Science degree, applicants must have a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university with broad undergraduate program of .study in the humanities and the natural and s<K >al sciences. A modern foreign language will be required. Approval of the graduate program was the result of many months' study of similar programs conducted at other col-

leges and universities. Dr. Robert ‘ Lee, Kansas State Teachers College, Emporia, and consiytant from the American Library Assoedation, assisted Ball State in drawing up a program for accreditation. snray Cleaners Easy To Use... But Expensive The n<w spray-on, wipe-off cleaners can speed up traditional spring housecleaning ns well as cut the time you spend on regular housecleaning chores, such as cleaning the bathroom. Although these cleaners are convenient, they are also expensive. Elkin Minter. Purdue University extension home management specialist, says that If you need to cut cleaning costs, you'd better use the less expensive ammonia-based cleaners or make your own with diluted ammonia. An ammonia cleaner requires rinsing but is less expensive. If you decide to buy the sprayon cleaner, you have a choice of two types foam or liquid. While some arc designed for ( special cleaning jobs, such as bathroom fixtures, wall tile and plastics others are all-purpose cleaners. . 3ne spray cleaners don't scratch surface as some powdered cleaners do. They help keep I chrome and plastic tile looking shiny and new Some even di.slnI feet as they clean! So. take your choice. Save I time with the spray-on, wipe-off cleaners or save money with an ammonia cleaner the results will be similar. Use Your Seat Belts Always!
