Butler Vs Ohio State For the second consecutive week, Butler University’s basketball Bulldogs will oppose a taller, more experienced, Western Conference team in the Fieldhouse when they entertain Ohio State’s highly regarded Buckeyes Saturday night (Dec. 10) at 8:15 p.m. In their opening game last week-end, the young Bulldogs met Illinois’ defending Western Conference champions and came within four points, 60-56, of upsetting them. Last .season the Butler squad opened on the road against the same two squads and lost both games... » . = - Coach Paul “Tony” Hinkle’s Bulldogs will be faced by a tall, experienced crew. when, they meet Ohio State. Coach William Dye’s starting five averages 6 feet 2 inches per man or two inches per man taller than the little Bulldogs. • Hinkle’s problem this week is finding four guards to handle men taller than' themselves. Leading the Bucks offensive unit is Dick Schnittker,- a 6 foot 5 inch forward. In the past Schnittker has .been guarded by Butler’s defensive wizard, Jimmy Doyle. As a .freshman and sophomore, Doyle nulled Schnittker’s scoring threats. Last season, partly hampered by an. injured thigh, Doyle iwas easy pickings for the veteran scorer who got 19 ofs the Buck-, eye’s 60 points. Saturday • night will be the. Tfourth >v time .that. Doyle and .■Schnittker have battled in a two 'man duel. As the score now stands between the two,’ the 6 foot Butler guard hold a two-to-one edge. Both are and the coming game will mark their last time to battle in collegiate basketball. , Providing that Doyle is matched with Schnittker, Hinkle still must find men to cope with Robert Don-, ham, a 6 foot 3 inch forward; Gene Brown, a 6 foot 2 inch guard; and Fred Taylor, a. 6. foot 4 inch center. Three of the starters, Donham, Brown, and Bob Burkholder, are now in their third season as a starting unit. This letterman combination gives the Bucks a. long measure of experience. Donham is considered valuable for his rebound play and ■general all-around ability. He scored 11 points for Ohio’s high scoring honors in the Buckeye’s 70-68 loss to DePaul last Saturday night, (Dec. 3). Both Brown and Burkholder are strong defensive meh but lack scoring punch. ’ Schnittker, Who holds mosV of Ohio State’s scoring records,- will find his Butler counterpart, “Buckshot” O’Brien in top scoring form. Buck hit 10« of 19 field goal shots and wound jip with 22 points in the Illinois game. O’Brien scored 364“ points last season for a new one-year mark and fan his three year total tb 828 for‘ another new, record. Buck also scored on .410 percent of his field goal attempts for another new mark. ■*’ Ohio’s scoring ace holds the following records: most points in one game, 32; most points for one season, 336; most free throws in dne game, 11; most free throws in one season, 90; best one game shooting average, .750; best one season scoring average, .413. Schnittker also scored 658 points during the past two seasons as compared to the three season, record of 666 points. Bob Radiger, well remembered by the Bulldogs for his play as Ohio’s center last season, was killed in a tragic off-season acci•dent and has been replaced by Fred Taylo^. ~ , - Butler’s Coach* Hinkle expects' to use last week’s starting lineup dgainst the Bucks. All are letter-, men with the exception WallA* Q’Brien, a service award winner last season and one of Buckshot’s

older twin brothers. This week the Bulldogs will spend every available minute shooting free throws, according to Hinkle. Nerves caught up with the inexperienced Butler team at the charity line in the Dlini game. They hit a weak .414 percent of their free throws as compared to their good field goal average of .423. Hinkle expects his charges to make up at least 200 percentage points in the free throw department before the season ends. Early this week Hinkle told his men that he was seriously thinking about putting knee braces on the entire squad to keep their knees from shaking and buckling at the charity stripe.

UK Leads World With New Powerful Turbo-Prop Engine The U. S. today stepped ahead in the world-wide race for aircraft power with a new propellerturbine engine which produces more power for its size and weight than any similar engine revealed anywhere else in the world. Developed for the U. S. Navy by the Allison Division of General Motors, the new engine is identified as the XT4O turboprop. It has been approved for flight test by successful cample-

tiosteof ground qualification teste and four engines now are being installed in the Convair XPSY flying boat for early flight Considering its horsepower the engine is one of the smallest ever built. It produces more than two horsepower for each pound of engine weight including extension shafting and reduction gear. This compares with roilfchly one borepower per pound of weight for the most powerful piston type engines of World War 11. Its fuel economy approaches the efficiency of those same engines. Also, the new Allison turbo-prop exceeds recently revealed foreign engines in terms of fuel economy and

horsepower per pound of weight, greatly speeds the obsofeecenceof all reciprocating engines in both military and commercial aircraft,” according to E. B. Newiß, vice president of General Moton Corporation and general manager of Allison Division. “By matching the fuel economy of our best reciprocating engines and producing twice as much power for each pound of weight, the XT4O rounds out the military requirement for an engine of the gas turbine type which will transport payloads over long distances at high speeds and altitudes” “By operating on jet fuel and outperforming engines requiring high octane, leaded gasoline the XT4O makes it unnecessary to continue to maintain supply of two types of fuel in land'and sea aircraft around the world. Instead, one readily available fuel can be used for all aircraft purposes and thus relieve a severe and costly logistics problem * A turbo-prop engine is, like the turbo-jet, a gas turbine engine. However, most of the energy developed in the turbine is converted into mechanical 1 power and used for driving a propeller with only a small portion of the turbine energy utilized as thrust out of the tail pipe. It a turbo-jet, the airplane is driven sole by the thrust of the heated gasep escaping from the tail pipe. The new XT4O < turbo-prop, identified by Allison is its Model 500, is a completely new design which consists of two axial-flow gas turbine power sections driving a dual-rotation propeller through a common reduction goer. The power sections are connected together so that in effect they form a single unit However, each power section may be operated independently. This feature pennite airplane takeoff at full power with both power sections operating. In flight at reduced power for cruising operations, maximum fuel economy can. be obtained by cutting out one power section and allowing the remaining one to operate at its most efficient point The new Allison turbo-prop ia designed to drive propellers through extension shafting a proven feature which Allison developed for wartime Bell Aircraft P-39 and P-83 Corfia fighter airplanes which were powered by • Allison V-1710 reciprocating gines. Use of extension shafting permits location of the engines at the point most favorable for airplane design and still allows .location’ of propellers at the point where they can contribute most to airplane performance.
