BACKBOARD!

. By J. E. O'BRIEN FRANKLIN, Ind., Jan. 31. —1In one of our typically rash moments not so long ago, we

* predicted that the night of

Dec. 23 probably would be the ‘most strenuous ever encountered by Messrs. Glen Adams and Nate Kauffman (efficient ‘Whistle-tooting at reasonable

* rates).

You'll recall that evening

‘

other partisan persons—partisan in this case being an extremely mild term. After all, it wasn’t easy. But ‘Mr. Adams probably would call his job here last night equal to that. His fellow-worker in green was Dale Robinson of Connersville, and their assignment was the Franklin - College-Butler engagement.

A review of the personal foul chart will: give you some idea of what this pair did. In all, 40 were called. Figuring one sharp toot to each misdemeanor, these fellows expended enough wind to inflate several balloon-size bicycle tires. That, of course, doesn’t include the brief tweets sounded for traveling, time-outs, double-dribbles or on those embarrassing occasions when Ihe ball tried to roll out the front oor,

‘Here’s a Nice Fat One’

Besides, there was the mental strain. In the small Franklin gym, every customer can have his say, and it wouldn't be hard to effect more persuasive measures than merely yelling “you bum.” A disgruntled coach would only have to extend his righ” foot on a fast break to lay an umpire flat, while an ambidextrous cheer leader using his conical weapon ought to be able to bag the limit on referees within a half: = . But in fairness to Mr. Hinkle, Mr. Tillotson and their respective bands of backers, it should be noted that nothing rash took place. About the

“ worst punishment handed the offi-

cials was the shaking of dainty fists by attractive coeds with ribbons in their hair. : Moreover, the score during the first half wasn’t conducive to an official's good health. At least five times the game was all even, with Butler grabbing an effective margin .only in the last few minutes.

Noise?—You Said It

Franklin’s biggest lead came midway in the period after successive field goals by Don Reichert and Louie Leerkamp had put the Grizglies on top, 16-12. That’s when the Franklin rooters rattled the windows, apparently trying to awaken those goal ghosts in the basement dressing rooms. the Joseph-Steiner-Dietz combination clicked to put the Bulldogs in front again. Butler turned to its race-horse style in the second session, which was too much for Franklin, not having pari-mutuel windows or an oats .diet. Coach Tillotson pleaded with his boys to slow it down, but that was like requesting a waltz

* from Benny Goodman at the Rivet-

ers’ Rassle. The game wound up with Butler on top, 61-43. Technically, it wasn't a Grade A game. Butler has played better basketball in its fieldhouse, and Franklin no doubt has shown more in its own goal hall. But it was the sort of game the average “who-made-that basket?” fan ‘goes for. And the folks down here like large helpings of basketball on their menu. You could tell that by the way they tramped through the white snow (and despite what Indianapolis thinks, it’s still white down here) to be on hand for the affair. . Being without a ticket doesn’t stop them either. We saw four coeds who claimed they had misplaced their student books get past the ticket-taker. they knew how to smile.

1939 ACCIDENTS CUT 1 PER CENT

Mishaps in Homes Take 32,000 Lives, 2 Per Cent More Than in 1938.

CHICAGO, Jan. 31 (U. P.).—The National Safety Council closed its

11939 ledger of accidental deaths and

injuries today and issued this balance sheet:

‘The council reported that all deaths had been reduced by 1

per cent during the year. Fatal

public accidents were reduced 6 per cent, deaths in occupational accidents 3 per cent and deaths on the highway were almost unchanged. Only in the home did death strike more often. There accidents claimed 32,000 lives, 2 per -cent more than in 1938. :

Reduction Is Eliminated

Motor vehicle accidents — dead, 32,600; injured, 1,500,000; cost, $1,500,000,000. Deaths in this classification were 5. per cent above the 1938 totals during the last three months of the year, a record which wiped out a 2 per cent cumulative reduction for the first nine months. Although . the population rate

ldeath total was almost unchanged,

the vehicle mileage rate was reduced for the fifth consecutive year to 12.2. Saving of lives on city streets

|was offset by an increase of about

2 per cent in rural areas and small towns. Kansas City, Mo., showed the largest decrease in motor vehicle deaths, 54 per cent. Atlanta, Ga., was second with 51 per cent and St. Paul, Minn., third with 34 per cent. Milwaukee, Wis., again led the cities of more than 500,000 population with a 9.3 death rate. St. ‘Louis, Mo., was second with 10.2 and Boston third with 10.4. Providence, R. I, topped the 250,000 to 500,000 population class with a rate of 5.5. Leaders in other classes were Worcester, Mass., (100,000-250,000) 5.1; Hoboken, N. J. (50,000-100,00) 1.7; Dubuque, Iowa, (25,000-50,000) 0.6; and Maplewood, N. J., (10,000-25,000) 0.0. Utah Cuts Death Toll

Utah led all states in reduction of fatal traffic accidents. The Utah total of 168 for 1939 was 24 per cent below its record of 220 for the previous year. New Hampshire was

|| second with an 18 per cent reduc-

tion. Georgia, with a 14 per cent reduction, led all states in number of lives saved, 112. : Accidents in homes—Dead, 32,000; injured, 4,700,000; cost, $600,000,000. Falls accounted for 17,000 home accident deaths. Fires and burns

clothing. Safety Council and Red Cross surveys indicated that onefourth to one-third of deaths or serious injuries occurred on stairs.

WORLEY FIRM'S * SPENDING HIT

Raised Instead of Declar- : ing Dividends.

Testimony was given in Federal Court yesterday in the Government’s $25,000 civil damage suit against Claude M. Worley, former Indianapolis police chief, that directors of the Crystal Flash Petroleum Corp. voted salary increases and bonuses instead of declaring dividends. -

The defendants, all incorporators of the firm, are Mr. Worley, John E. Fehsenfeld and his wife, Ruth A.

- | Fehsenfeld.

Mr. Worley was convicted on in+ come tax evasion charges and served

‘(three years and nine months at

Leavenworth Penitentiary. He completed his sentence in May, 1936. He also was fined $10,000. The Government in its suit is seeking the fine and income tax allegedly owed by Mr. Worley and interest on both principal amounts. The Government contends that while Mr. Worley was in ‘prison the Fehsenfelds voted to increase Mr. Fehsenfeld’s salary from $6000 to $10,000 in each of the years 1932 to 1935. Witnesses also said that bonuses totaling $1750 were declared for two relatives of Mr. Fehsenfeld but that $1500 of this was returned to him. Mr. Fehsenfeld said that in December, 1936, an $8000 bonus was voted to himself in addition to his $10,000 salary. . The Government alleges that this was done without Mr, Worley’s knowledge and therefore the payments should be returned to the corporation. Mr. Worley owned 49 per cent of the stock of the firm.

This stock has been attached by the Government. : After the money is returned to the firm it should be declared as a dividend, the Government contends. Forty-nine per cent of the dividend then would revert to the United States to pay Mr. Worley’s fine and his income taxes since the Government holds his stock. The defense contended at the trial yesterday that the payments to Mr. Fehsenfeld were reasonable.
