MARCH 7, 1033

Off The Backboard

BY VERN BOXELL

Now, now, you may cease your worrying immediately. No basketball moratorium” or cancellation of the 1933 Hoosier cage title carnival has been considered by the I. H S. A A. It’s far too early even to consider abandoning the short pants classic at Fairvicw field house on March 17 and 18, A. L. Trester broadcasted from his Circle Tower studio today. In fact, the I. If. S. A. A. isn’t greatly disturbed. There may be some difficulty in getting the ticket sales rolling, but once under way. It’s still a good bet there won't be enough ducats to go around. The x. H. S. A. A. always has demanded that, the ticket sales be handled by the high school principals. Distribution cf the prized pasteboards is made on an allotment, plan based on enrollments, with an additional supply for the regional survivors. In the past, and for 1933 as well, payment in advance for the ducats has been demanded by the I. H. S. A. A. from the principals. Money being what it is and banks what they are, it has been whispered that perhaps the principals would not have the money available this year. But Trester announced in a recent bulletin, and repeated today, that high school principals could obtain their allotted number of scats by depositing certified checks to be cashed at the proper time. Regardless of the existing conditions. Indiana's basketball show will go on. Even if the high school principals throughout the state were unable to dispose of their tickets, Ihe entire 16.000 could be placed on sale here in Indianapolis and every session on March 17 and 18 played to a full house. Nearly six thousand fans jammed into Tech gym last Saturday to see the eastsiders and Shortridge in the local sectional finals. Many were turned away. .Just a few nights previously, Notre Dame and Butler tangled before 10.000 fans at. Fairview. There was a slight decrease in attendance at the other sixty-three sectionals, but, most of them played to at least one or two full houses and none lost money. Indiana without a championship basketball toarnament—never! The show must go on. tt tt tt Tech's tumble to Shortridge didn't excite thr lloosier scribblers much. Most, of them took It with a ho-hiim. But the wise guy* who heaved a big sigh when Tech’s tall hoys toppled and who expect Shnrtridse to be not so touch are in for a big surprise. Shorlridce defeated Tech and t.rceneastlc —what more do you want? Some of the dopesters are expecting the major regional upset to occur at Muncie, where the Bearcats and Newcastle usually settled the issue. This year, with Munrie and the Trojans meeting in a matinee slrucele, Richmond Retires to come bouncing through, according to the boys who like their lone shots. In addition to having one of the best balanced hall clubs in the state, and one of the best. Cliff Wells of the I.ogansports also boast* a first-class reserve star. The name I* Jean Smith. Cliff sent him in at renter during the last uuartrr against Metea in the sectional last Saturday and he collected five field coals and five free throws in the eieht minutes he performed. Among other thincs, Smith also has pinch hit effectively at forward and baekeuard during the season. Some ace-in-the-hole. tt tt tt Peril is hoping that John Bruce, brilliant forward will be ready to go Saturday. Timer suffe ed a knee injury late in the season whien lias kept him out of action Miirr The Timers figure they will need Johnny against Delphi and Loganspoi’t. Belle Union provided one of the many sectional upsets by eliminating Marshall, unbeaten this season, at Oreencastle. Then Rr'le Ut.'.on tumbled to Greencaslle. But heir s the store: There were iwo Hurst hnvs performing for Re'.ie Union, Marion Hurst is Greencaslle's all-state Moor guard. Charles llurst. his brother, played at forward for Belle Union, and L. Hurst, a cousin, pastimed at guard At least, that s the story. , , , ~ , , To the anti-Backbnards who thought Oreencastle had it easy in ihe sectional, let it lie related that for tlie first time this vrar. Oreencastle had eight field goals scored on it in the first half and trailed. 20 to 19. at ihe intermission. It's a good thing your correspondent didn't find that out until today. a tt tt PICKING all-Indiana high school basketball teams—with only 8.000 boys to choose from—is entirely a matter of personal choice. Your correspondent sidelined many games this season, and while there may be better players, here are fifteen who will do for Backboard's all-star squad. The selections arc based entirely on presectional tourney performances: FIRST TEAM Townsend. Tech Forward Thoman, Newcastle Forward Edward*, Teeh t enter Hurst. r.reenea*tle Guard lance.

TAMPA, Fla., March 7.—'There will be no resi for the Cincinnati Reds this week. Donie Bush, new Cincy pilot, is whipping his batterymen Into shape in quick order, and reported today that his pitchers were further advanced than in any previous session. He sent his squad through a gruelling two-hour drill Monday and planned another long drill today. Lombardi and Hemsley starred in Monday's batting session.

DRIVER LICENSE FOR 50 CENTS, j SENATE EDICT Recalls $1 Measure, and Cuts Price in Half in Swift Action. Admitting it had "made a mis- | take,” the Indiana senate late Monday recalled the bill taxing each motorist SI for a driver’s permit, and amended the measure to set the fee at 50 cents. Action came swiftly on the heels of a demand from Senator Henry F. Schricker <Dem., Knox), that the | senate admit its mistake and reverse • its action. Administration senators fell into line and by an overwhelming vote adopted the lower fee. It is estimated that at 50 cents for each permit, in place of 25 cents, as at present, will bring about $600,000 annually into the state treasury. Reported out of a senate commitI tee late Monday, the bill providing ! for a complete reorganization of Indiana cities so far as boards, commisions and duplication in duties of officals are concerned, was passed. Effective date of the act is Jan. 1, 1935. City Salaries Reduced Salaries of most city officials are reduced materially b y the measure. Except in Indianapolis, boards of | safety and public works arc merged, ] and are to consist of city officials j rather than citizens chosen by the mayor. Salary schedule for Indianapolis officials, under the new act, is: Mayor, $6,000; controller, $3,600; clerk, $2,400; corporation counsel. $4,500: city attorney, $3,600; chief of police $4,000 chief of fire department, $4,000; purchasing agent, $3,600; city engineer, $4,500; president of safety board, $2,500, and president of public works board, $3,000. Members of the city council will receive S6OO. Pressure from R. Earl Peters, chairman of the state Democratic committee, resulted in a complete reversal of action by the senate Monday night on the bill upsetting the present agricultural board. Pass Agriculture Board Bill When this bill was up for the first time Monday afternoon, administration forces were defeated, getting only fifteen votes. During the night session McNutt leaders corralled twenty-three additional votes, and shot the bill through under suspension of rules by a vote of 38 to 9. Those voting against the measure were Senators Brewster and Rupert, Democrats, and Senators Brown, Garrott. Shuler, Sherwood, Shull, Tormohlen and Trent, all Republicans. Terms of the riew act place every employe of the agricultural board, except, the secretary and the superintendent of buildings and grounds, I under McNutt's,, new department of 1 commerce and industry. The two officers excepted are to serve until I the expiration of their present conI tracts, but specially are marie subi .iect to the orders of the McNutt regime. Denounces Steam Roller Senator L. L. Shull ißcp., Sliarpsville), in a sharp denunciation of steam roller tactics by the PetersMcNutt group, tried to prevent the senate from reversing its former action. ''l’ve said before that you fellows are putty in Paul McNutt's hands, and now you arc proving it,” Shull said. '’You know that farmers are : against this bill, and, for once, you should vote your own convictions instead of acting as mere rubber stamps.” Peters applied the pressure by circulating freely on the floor of the senate as soon as defeat of the bill was apparent late in the afternoon. A committee meeting was held during the evening recess and an amended bill reported back which, except for the temporary retention in office of the secretary and superintendent, eventually will wipe out present control and method of operating the agricultural board.

Contract Bridge

BY W. E. M'KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League TT is only natural that most of the the bridge articles written are about hands where the declarer goes game or makes a slam. However, at the bridge table many hands that prove most interesting are hands where game is not made —partial score hands sometimes have to be unusually well played. A hand containing freak distribution always is a good subject for conversation arter it is played. The following freak hand was dealt at one of the tables following my farewell lecture in St. Petersburg, Fla., given at the Soi'eno hotel:

A6 VQ-5-4 ♦ A-10-9-8-4-2 + 9-7-3 . _ NORTH „ AA-Q- -- m AK 10-8-3 > VK-7-6 VJ-10- w ♦K-Q-J----9-8-3 H 7-5 ♦ 3 Dealer +4-2 SOUTH 6 . 5 + J-9-7-5-4-2 VA-2 ♦ 6 +A-K-Q-8 7

The Bidding South, the dealer, had three high card tricks and two biddable suits, so he started the contracting with one spade. West found himself with a spade bid, but should not make the mistake of overcalling with two hearts. When your opponents are bidding a suit which you would like to bid, leave them alone in that particular suit. Don't even double with a hand of this type, as it will warn the opponents to get into a different contract. After the bid of one spade. North responded with two diamonds. He has a singleton spade and a sixcard diamond suit. This is just what East would like to have Toid. After the two diamond bid South bid three clubs. West then stepped in with a bid

committee and was regarded by his associates as one of the hardest workers in the house. Bill Wood was the kind of man who would get to his office at 6 or 7 in the morning and stay all day. sometimes until late at night,” said Harry G. Leslie, former Governor, whose friendship with Mr. Wood dates back to the days when both were practicing law in Lafayette. “The first law case I ever had was against Wood, and he showed, then, the characteristics which have marked his career," Leslie said. "He always was for the young man and I never will forget the consideration he showed me when I was a green lawyer.” Mr. Wood was born in 1861 in Oxford, Ind., the son <~ f Robert and Matilda Wood. His father was a harness maker. After attending public schools in Indiana, Mr. Wood graduated from the University of Michigan law school in 1880 and began the practice of law the same year in Lafayette. In 1883 he married Miss Mary Elizabeth Geiger, who died Oct. 7, 1924. They had no children. For

of three hearts, which became the final contract. The Play North had the opening lead. He had the choice of opening his singleton spade or his partner's club suit. To lead a spade would invite a ruff and it looks as if, with his three hearts to the queen, he is going to make a heart trick anyway. ; North, when the hand was played, elected to open the club suit and played the nine of clubs. The ten was played from dummy and South won the trick with the queen. He then returned the king of clubs. South did not wish to continue with clubs for fear of setting dummy’s jack up. He now shifted to his singleton j diamond, which North won with the | ace. North had the diamond suit counted, but decided to try to kill one of dummy's high diamonds and led the ten of diamonds. The jack was played from dummy, South ruffed with the deuce df hearts and the declarer over-ruffed with the three. West then led the jack of hearts, and when North did not cover took the finesse. South's ace won the trick. South now returned a small spade, which was won in dummy with the king. The declarer then led the king and queen of diamonds from dummy, discarding the eight and ten of spades from his hand. The seven of diamonds was ruffed by declarer with the eight of hearts. Declarer now led his ten of hearts and North refused to cover. Declarer must not make the mistake of leading his last heart—he must now play his ace of spades, and North is helpless. If he triumphs with the queen of hearts, the declarer will overtrump in dummy with ihe king of hearts and then lead a club and trump in his own hand with the nine of trump. He will win the last trick with the queen of spades. After you have shown two suits —in other words, made two constructive bids—and partner does not show an inclination to support either one, do not try to force the bidding. You should realize that you have a misfit hand. (Copvriifht, 1933, by NEA Service. Inc.)

many years the couple made their home in Lafayette, but at the death of Mrs. Wood, he disposed of his property there and maintained quarters at the Fowler hotel. Recently. Mr. Wood spent most of his time in Washington, although he was active in the last campaign. It was recalled today that in the last five campaigns he had been chairman of Republican national congressional committee. In 1390 he was elected prosecutor of Tippecanoe county and was reelected in 1392. Four years later his political career began with his election to the state senate. 163 BILLS SENT M’NUTT Governor Has Until Saturday to Act on Measures Passed. A total of 163 bills await action of Governor Paul V. McNutt when he returns to his office Wednesday from Washington. They were sent to the chief executive for his signature Monday. He has until Saturday to act on them. The Constitution provides that no bills need be received the last three days of the session, but it has been customary to do so. They can be signed within five days and become a law or either vetoed with comment or pocket vetoed by failure to sign.

U. S. FAILURES SHOW DECLINE FOR PAST WEEK Various Cities Report Gains in Clearings Before Bank Holidays. Bank clearings reported from sew era! leading centers during the past week resumed thetr advance despite the suspensions of many banking operations in various cities, according to R G. Dun <fc Bradstreet, Inc, weekly business review. At a number of the prominent cities clearings for the past week exceeded those for the same period a year ago. Clearings during February mounted higher than any month since last October. Under ordinary conditions clearings for the first two months of this year would have shown an exceptional increase over that of last year. Steel Output Halted Steel production increase registered during January was halted at the beginning of the third week in February. Last part of the month failed to show any improvement. With future working plant schedules difficult to arrange, due to labor inte.Terences and other uncertainties, operations have displayed considerable irregularity. Ingot output at large is estimated at 17 per cent of capacity, with finishing departments operating at various rates, ranging to 45 per cent for tin plate. Despite a fair volume of track accessory orders received and booked. Chicago steel output dropped slightly lower than a week ago. Nearly three thousand tons of structural steel orders have been placed within the last four days, while 6.600 tons for Missouri highway bridges and a western postoffice still remains open. After easing to a slightly lower level a couple of weeks ago. commodity prices held steadier, with exceptions of food groups, which showed little weakness. Strong liquidation was displayed, despite the influence of financial uncertainties. Industrial Pace Slower A remarkable reduction in commercial failures in the United States was shown with a total of 571 last week, compared with 637 in the same period a year ago. This year defaults amounted to 15.3 per cent under that of 1931. Industrial pace was slowed up considerably with manufacturing concerns in nearly all lines reporting no great amount of activity, except in different specialities, such as replacement of parts for automobiles. Automobile manufacturers were hesitant in placing steel orders to continue production due to the banking situation in Michigan.
