Through th month of October the 1 Limedale plant was closed because 1 of plentiful stocks of finished cement on hand. During this time the fin- i ishing touches were put in on the new direct-firing system. As oper- j ated through the summer of 1939. the two coal mills were inflexibly connected to two kilns only. In October the third kiln was tied in to allow operation of any two kilns in the group. Hot-air ducts wore being enoasted in insulating material and an additional dust trap added at the third kiln. The inclined coal conveyor and coal storage were inclosed with corrugated asbestos sheeting during the shut-down. The return side of the inclined belt-conveyor was being equipped with revolving brushes to wipe off any moist coal which j

might cling to the belt.

^[Thomas Moves Ip In Top Ten Scorers

Further infoimation received from , seme of the coaches makes possible this revised list of the top ten scor- | ers in Putnam county. While there have been but few changes in the | names, some of the players have tak- j en a jump up or down the list. The top two scorers stiH hold their j position. Both .these lads are from Russellville and are Byrd and Se’lers. Coffey and York, last week in third and fourth place, have been pushe I I down to seventh and eighth place by j the additional information while j Thomas of Roachdale has taken the ! greatest jump coming from tenth ! place to third due to Information on ! three more games. Worrick and Etcheson, two more Roachdale lads, last week in sixth and seventh place are now in fourth and fifth. White of Belle Union is the only I newcomer to the top ten while Bu's j slip -d from seventh place and is now | out of the top ten scorers. Revised standing with the number i of total points made and the number j of games tallied are as follows:

From the Roachdale Times-News we learn of the Roachdale victory in three out of four bouts held in the Russellville Recreation Hall recently. The Roachdale Recreation Hall trained lads took three bouts of three, two minute rounds. Two of the Roachdale wins were over Greencastle lads when Harold Morrison defeated Leon Smith and Sherman Davis took Jimmy Mackey. The other Roachdale victory was Basil Ryan over Thomas Rivers of Russellville. Roachdak’s only loser was Norman Myers who bowed to Ernest Bly of Russellville. It seems a shame that a city the size of Greeneastlo does not have a Recreation Hall where the young lads can go and receive supervised instruct Ion In sports and games. Rouclidule, Russellville, < loverdalc and other Putnam County towns seem to support a hail but Greencastle larks any such center. Early this week there will be a meeting in the office of Frank Jarrell, county superintendent of schools, of all the coaches in the county. At this meeting plans for the Wabash Valley tourney will be discussed.

As (ireensburft Coach From the Greensburg News comes word of the quitting of Harold H. Newgent, high school athletic director. The newspaper said that his rosignaton. effect/ve immediately, had been verified by authorltlve

sources.

Details of the resignation have not been attainable but it has been rumored for several weeks that th ! s term of school would end the ath'etie director’s service as h ; s employment another year would place him under I the teachers’ law. The actual immediate resignation 1 did not come until Tuesday. An offer to waive his rights under the tenure law was not accepted by J the school board, it is sa'd.

BASKETBALL SIDE-SHOW Previous to the Martinsville victory over Bloomington recently, some half-hundred red-waisted Artefian girls put on a pep-drill extravaganza. There was inarching, singing, yelling and novel features. The girls carried large cards on which were printed the names of Martinsville and Bloomington players and coaches. “Pop goes the Panther” was sung to the tune of "Pop Goes the Weasel” and the girls accented the word “Pop” by jabbing pins into inflated purple balloons. Grady Bennett of Bloomington penned in “Pats and Slaps” the next day an account of the extravaganza but preceded it with the ringing words: "We were robbed." It seems there were 21 personals served on Bloomington and only nine to Mar-
