Ask Repeal Of Teachers' Tenure Law In Assembly

I INDIANAPOLIS, Feb.- 5 A Senate bill introduced Tuesday j by Senators Palmer R. Edgerton (R., Jonesbora) and A. W.; Mitchell (R., LaPorte) to repeal the Teacher Tenure Act was described by Senator Mitchell as a bill "to retard a greater measure of control over their teachers to school administrators." "It is very hard," Senator Mitchell said, "for administrators now to discharge an incompetent teacher. The time has come when something should be done about the situation. I believe that the bill is one way that we can get Increased teachers' salaries.. "I'm for all teacher salary increases but I'm against raising salaries of incompetent teachers along with those who are competent. School administrators need to have the right to exercise a greater degree of control over their teachers." i Sullivan's Golden Arrows were dumped by Wiley's Red Streaks last night in Terre Haute by a score of 43-30 in a game that saw the lead change hands several times before a last minute flurry of Streak baskets clinching the game for them.

At the beginning of the final period the Streaks led i 28-21. Dick Hummell was the leader aspin for the Arrows with four field goals and three free throws for 11 points. Others scoring for Sullivan were: . Russell, six points; Brodie, three points;' Southwood, four points, McCam-. mon. one point; Lyday, four points and Pinkston, two points. Harry Price led the Streaks' attack with six field goals and., center Kestermier followed with four baskets. ., . ' i Joe Lyday turned in his usual ; active game, constantly getting in Streak ball-handler's hair with his lightning-like snatches on defense. . Sullivan's B team had their five-game winning streak broken by the Streak B's as they dropped a 21-14 decision in the preliminary bout. i " ' ' Robinson G?Tie Cancelled It was learned today that the game between Robinson and Sullivan, scheduled to be played here on Feb. 11, has been concelled through mutual agreement! between the two schools.
