mNDIANAPOLIS has a baseball player at Indiana University that may become a star If he keeps up in his studies. “Chuck” Becker, who played with Manual High School! will be eligible for the Crimson varsity this spring if he gets some work made up in which he has fallen behind. Coach Dean was talking about the local youth the other day. We told the I. U. mentor that Becker could clout that pill. He is a pitcher and outfielder and should have a good chance to break into the line-up at the State ' school, because most of the veterans graduated. There Is no doubt that pitchers and hitters are needed by every club that ever played. Becker used to specialize in home runs for the Acme A. A.s last summer. Os course, he will find the Big Ten pitchers somewhat a different proposition than the sandlot brand. “Chuck,” however, looks and acts like a clouter. He crashes the ball. The I. U. coach had the men out for a little fall baseball and was Impressed by Becker's slugging ability. The I. U. players are working out dally in the gym. Handball Is part of the program and they are tossing the ball around to loosen up the kinks. “Coach Dean says he has a bunch that love the game. They talk baseball; eat and sleep it. That means a team, or we are mighty mistaken. Too many college teams are not like that. The team will not be as heavy hitting a crew as last year’s champions, but they will be even better defensively, and they’ll be on their toes every minute. Horde is the only veteran pitcher remaining, but some promising material Is among the sophomore candidates. * * * Here’s a scoop! Muncie played at the Indianapolis sectional tourney this morning. That was the name of Castleton High School’s center.

IVY, Illinois, how do you get that way? Some 7,000 players on approximately 700 teams at forty-two tournaments got into action Wednesday in a race for the high school basketball title of the neighboring state. What do you mean, stealing Indiana’s stuff like that? The preliminary tourney winners, forty-two of them, gather at four centers on March 12 and 13. The four victors then fight it out at the University of Illinois on March 19 and 20—the same dates as the Hoosier finals. The championship play Is under the supervision of the Illinois High School Athletic Association. Yep, it’s another I. H. S. X. A. * • * There are times in a basketball contest in which inaccuracy is to be praised, not censured. De Ford of Castle ton shot at the Manual basket this morning, but missed. • • * EYONS of Franklin College is likely to be the out-stand-ing basketball center In the State next season. That long string bean is learning fast. As a freshman he was Just a tall youth whose only advantage was his height. But since that time he has come a long way. He pivots well now, and is a smart man in all departments of the game. His actions reflect the style of play used by the veterans who graduate this year. All Lyons needs Is faith in himself and he will be a star of the first magnitude. With Vandivler and Gant gone, and more responsibility falling on the tall center’s shoulders, he is likely to gain the confidence he needs. • • * rrr“| OB WAKEFIELD of Ben {RI Davis richly deserves the I ’*"* 1 honor of leading the Butler basketball team next season. The good-looking, dark-haired youth delivered this year. He “found” himself in the Franklin game at the fairground and has been a vital factor In Butler’s successful year on the hardwood. All he lacked was confidence in hlg own ability. Bob got it somewhere, somehow', overnight.

However, today there is a large and increasing number of men who are scrutinizing their personal buying with greater care than was formerly the rule. The budgeting of weekly expen' diture in close relation to weekly in' come is becoming a national habit — and a mighty good one. Perhaps of even more importance, is the fact that all men today are judg' ing values with greater care —are harder buyers—than formerly. The better product, in all lines, is the more economical. And every man knows it today. Good clothes cost less money per year than cheap clothes.

There is another point in regard to Ten Payment selling on which we be' lieve entire candor with our public to be the best policy. Our experience throughout has demonstrated that the Ten Pay feature does not increase our selling costs. Asa matter of fact it tends to reduce them. We have found the Ten Pay buyer to be a prudent man of good standing. Our credit losses have been inconsequential, and —here is the important thing—-the convenience of Ten Pay greatly in' creases business with resulting reduce tion of overhead. This means that, with Ten Pay in operation, we can deliver even better values to every one —thus the man who pays cash, benefits too.
