Crimson Netters Coming Tuesday The DePauw University Tigers will try for their second wii of the season over Indiana University’s netmen when they play hbst to the Bloomington squad here on Tuesday. Jan. 9. In the earlier meeting of the two teams on Dec. 5, DePauw came out on top of a 51 to 50 score in the last (JO seconds of play. DePauw’s win in the earlier game gave her eight victories over the Boosters since competition started between the two schools in 1906-07. In that time ' the Crimson has taken 25 wins : from the Old Gold. It was not until the 1918-19 season that DePauw was able to .chalk up a win against Indiana, but since that time she has been taking a fair share of the games. Last year’s record also gave DePauw the opening win, by 47 to 36, but the Hoosiers came back with a narrow 39 to 34 victory in the second meet. Coach Lloyd Messersmith’s men will be playing their ninth game of the season with two jiarticular'y bright spots on their record; wins over both Indiana and Purdue.

General Hurley, New Envoy To China, Has Been Around

Hoovtr’s Secretary of War Has Fine Record for FDR

General Hurley'

e. By HELEN ESSARY

Central Press Columnist

• WASHINGTON—The man who is going to represent the United States In troubled China for the next few years Is that big, dramatic Irishman Patrick Jay Hurley. He la the man who has had more fun out of the last two administrations, Republican and New Deal,

than anybody alive.

The eras of Hoover (1) plus Roosevelt (4) cover a lot of territory, calendar and drama. But by all the blessed saints above, Patrick Jay Hurley has been in on all the shootin’ and peace-

makin’ of both the presidents.

Add to the eras of Hoover and Roosevelt the stirrin’ times of Woodrow Wilson, the calm of Coolidge and the confusion of Harding and there again was Patrick Jay Hurley, fighting, laughing, soothing, and sawing wood whether the saw that

was handy was sharp or dull.

Thia recent appointment to China tops General Hurley’s oflacial and unofficial missions in the far away and generally misunderstood East, Middle East and Near East In addition, there were

negotiations In Mexico that Pat Hurley tossed oft with a flourish when oil wells below the Rio Grande were burning hot with trouble

for Latin American good neighborliness.

Since the second World war, the proposed new ambassador to China has been to Australia where he was sent to talk the Australians Into giving MacArthur the help he needed. Next he zipped over to Russia to see if Uncle Joe Stalin had any new peeves and to quiet down the old ones. After Russia, Pat Hurley’s next rush order was Iran. Iran was In a mood. A state of Indignation. Pat now becoming a superdiplomat which is what he always whs from the day he was bom close by an Oklahoma coal mine, had his usual

good luck In Iran.

As If Iran were not enough of an achievement, General Hurley soon thereafter whisked through India for an Irishman’s eye view of the mess there. Just to keep his hand in, he next dropped in on

China*

Naturally, all these hurry calls were Mr. Roosevelt’s Idea. The president had skipped the fact that Pat Hurley was a strong antiNew Dealer and didn’t hesitate to say so. Anyhow, Pat must have said so with a broad grin. For when he came back from his first visit to China and reported what he thought about the mixup there, the president gave him WPB Chief Donald Nelson by the hand and sentjhim back for another look-see at the Chlang Kai-shek neighChina Is said by the wiseacres to be the Siberia of the New Deal A place of exile a la Roosevelt. But Pat Hurley, from the looks of thing*, if about to turn what has been exile for previous political tourists into a place of accomplishment. I’ll bet you that before long General Hurley will have Chinese generalissimos, Communists and Fascists eating out of his hand. Likewise listening to his best new speaks * Ven Ul0Ugh they <lon ’ t understand a word the big American People who have seen Hurley negotiating In a language of which t h .® " ot * ra8 P one 8ln K le sentence say that he listens attentively to the remarks of the Interpreters on both sides, fences, eats, drinks and . merry with the Wg shots themselves. Then adds up all he hears, divides by his own wit and comes to a conclusion.

i half, but in the third period ral- ! lied and were only 8 points be- , hind the v.sitors, 29 to 21. The ! Pointers fought hard during the I final frame but Waynetown maintained its margin to win, 37

to 28.

For Waynetown, according to Coach Ralph Capehart of the Gladiators, it was the 43rd ! stra ght victory in regularlyscheduled games. This serlsationai string dates back to the winter of 1942. The Waynetown , records show that the last time t the Gladiators lost, they were beaten by New Market on Nov. 13, 1942. By the same records, it is shown that Waynetown also lost a game to Ladoga in December of 1942, but that game sub1 esquently went into the books as a victory for Waynetown since the Ladoga tr.umph was declared forfeited because the Canners used an overage player.

PUBLIC SERVICE

IGAIN MAKES ITS ANNUAL REPORT TO CUSTOMERS

ROBERT A. GALLAGHER, president of Public Service Company of Indiana, Inc., following a precedent established several years ago, here makes his annual report to utility customers of operating progress of the Company during 1944: "1944 was another busy year. Sales of electric energy were in excess of 1,500,000,000 kilowatt-hours, for which we received an average of 1.71c per kilowatt-hour. Sales of gas were in excess of 43,000,000 therms at an average of 7.5c per therm. These realizations for Electricity and Gas are new low records. "After paying all costs of production .and distribution and providing for all taxes, the amount left was equal to slightly less than five per cent of our invested capital . . . this compares with a five and one-half per cent return in 1943 despite a greater volume of bssiness in 1944. During the year we paid preferred stock dividends at the rate of 5 per cent, and common stock dividends at 4 per cent. "Effective May 29, 1944 electric rates were reduced, effecting a savings of $410,000 annually to our customers, "Construction was completed on the 50,000 kilowatt unit at our Dresser Station in January,

1944, and on our 37,500 kilowatt unit at Edwardsport in July, 1944. The addition of these units now give us installed capacity of 274,674 kilowatts. Construction proceeded on an additional unit of 50,000 kilowatts at Dresser, and it is expected that this unit will be placed in service duning the fall of 1945. With this unit we will have 187,500 kilowatts of new capacity placed in service during the period commencing with May, 1941. Gross construction expenditures during the year totaled in excess of $7,000,000. Regardless of how adequate and efficient our unit plant, the record established in 1944 has been possible only through the continued and loyal work of our employes. 531 of our employes have now gone into the armed forces of our country, increasing the burden of work on those remaining on the home front. Our electric power system, strategically interconnected, supplied the 1944 war production demands in our area without hint of shortage. No industry on our lines waited for current.”
