Thursday it was Pls mouth topping Glenn 42-28 in a game that the Falconcttcs just didn't play well and suffered their third defeat against 12 wins. The win boosted the Plymouth mark to 10-3. one of their losses coming earlier this season to Glenn in an overtime contest. The Glenn girls started out about normal, taking an early advantage strictly on the shooting of Kern Gardner, but also holding the Plymouth team at bay. After Plymouth scored first. Gardner hit two baskets for Glenn. Nancy Jardine tied it for the red-clad Plymouth team, but Mary Huffstcttcr hit two free throws for the lead once again. Pls mouth tied it on Carolyn Beatty's lay-in with two and a half minutes left in the quarter as the defenses were keeping the scoring down. However. Gardner again put Glenn m from with a 17 footer and then hit one of two free throws only to have Barbara Syler hit from 12 feet to end the first quarter 9-8 in Glenn s favor. From here on out. with the exception of one late second quarter streak, it was all Plymouth. The plav of their two guards. Syler and Brenda Skiles, was more than Glenn could handle and they moved ahead to stay. First it was Skiles after a nice pass from Syler. then Syler with a lay-in. Skiles hit from 15 foot. Carol Thornburg put a rebound back up and in and Syler swished one from 14 foot for an IK-9 lead before Gardner converted a three-point play on a rebound shot with just 1:35 left in the half. Ten Kring scored from under for

Plymouth, but Huffstcttcr hit two free throws. Theresa Kemp one of two and then a basket with :11 left to pull Glenn back in the game by halftime as they trailed only 20-17. In addition to this. Plymouth had three starters with three personal fouls, all being rested for a while while the entire Glenn team had picked up only four whistles compared to the 14 called on Plymouth. The Glenn slump continued in the second half as they Plymouth team was really bottling up the non moving Falconettc offense, cutting down their chances and forcing a tremendous amount of turnovers. After the first few minutes. one wierd play and the lack of Glenn s ability to take advantage of it. Plymouth settled down to coast to the w in. Ihe Ply mouth team had picked up two single free throw efforts by Skiles and Kring to move ahead by five before a mix-up by the officials helped cause some confusion that ended up in a Glenn “team” basket, scored by Kring of Plymouth. With a jump ball on the Glenn offensive end. the officials let the girls line up reversed, the Plymouth jumper tipped the ball ahead to Kring and she simply turned around and put it in the basket. To add to the confusion before cooler heads prevailed, the Glenn girls then took the ball out and missed a "bunny” as most of the players were heading the other way. When officials Gene Butts and Dennis Barnhiscl got straightened out. Glenn got the points as should be. but Plymouth got the ball out. which also was right after a Glenn basket. A time out by the Plymouth coach. Jan Fuchs, got her team settled down, but the Falcon confusion continued and they managed to get only one basket of their own this quarter, a long baseline shot by Gardner with 2:20 left when they already trailed 30 19.

Through the process of gasification, Indiana's high sulfur coal can be converted to an "environmentally clean" fuel. In the gasification process, the carbon of the coal is converted to a gaseous fuel that lacks the impurities of coal. To accomplish this, pulverized coal is heated in a gasifier that is pressurized with steam and air. Hydrogen from the steam reacts with the carbon to form methane gas. Other carbonaceous gases arc also formed

their last point of the quarter and it was 31-21 heading into the final eight minutes. Glenn trailed Plymouth by 10 in the season game heading into the final quarter to catch them and win in overtime, but it was not going to happen again. In less than two minutes. Plymouth had scored five points to two by Glenn to take a 13 point lead and continue the momentum. Then they went into a good passing game that was looking for the good shot but if it wasn’t there, they were disciplined in their efforts and didn't take any bad shots. They led by 17, 42-25 at one point before the benches were emptied and Glenn got the last three points to establish the final score. Syler hit 17 points in the game to lead all scorers and the floor game she played was outstanding. Skiles also was very good from the guard position for Plymouth and chipped in with 11 points for the winners as these two matched the entire Glenn total. Gardner was Glenn's only consistent scorer, picking up 12 points. 10 in the first half when the Falconcttcs were still in the game.

during the reaction, but in later steps they also are converted to methane, which increases the heating value of the gas. After purification, the quality and Btu rating of the coal gas are similar to those of natural gas. About 30 million tons of coal would have to be gasified to equal Indiana's present annual consumption of natural fr»'-
