Tiger Gridders Plan Scrimmage Plagued with cleat-clogging clay and cold weather, DePauw University’s spring football prospects look hopefully to tomorrow for a chance at some relatively heavy contact work. Head coach Tom Mont plans to send the nearly 60 candidates through a controlled scrimmage, beginning at 10 a.m. tomorrow in Blackstock Stadium. Though Mont has lost 11 lettermen from last fall’s 5-4 squad, he admits — contrary to an unwritten code virtually all coaches observe — to some optimism. Twenty-one lettermen are among Mont's current crop, including 75 per cent of his starting backfield — quarterback Bruce Mackey, fullback Bill Alcott and halfback Bronson Davis. And then there’s Tod Eberle, best natural athlete on the squad according to Mont, and a flock of experienced, heavy, hungry linemen such as Terry Johnston. Mark Moore. Earl Liebich. Rick Ferrell and Ed Gardner. While Mont's athletes hold down the homefront in an athletic sense, spring sportsmen will be on the road up north. The tennis team goes after win number five at Valparaiso; the track men are entered in the Wabash Relays at Crawfordsville; and a double-header will occupy the baseball team at St. Joseph's.

Basketball Mark ST. LOUIS UPI — Bob Pettit of the St. Louis Hawks holds the scoring record for National Basketball Association All-Star competition. Pettit has played in nine East-West contests and scored 192 points.

It was the Indian's first victory over San Diego in four games.

Thousands Pay Tribute To Mac NORFOLK, Va. UPI — Men, women and children by the thousands streamed past the open casket of General of the Army Douglas MacArthur today to view the body of the old soldier lying in state in the MacArthur Memorial Building which also will be his final resting place.

fine round to his putter. “They dropped like I hoped they wuold,” he said. “I thought the pin placements w r ere a little tougher than normal for an normal opening round-but I had no complaints."

Green Thumb Tips « The "freshness factor” Is far more important with some vegetables than •with others. So, if your garden space is limited, concentrate on th« vegetables in tthich freshness means superior flavor. Peas, sweet corn, lettuce and tomatoes are examples of these, with carrots and beeta not far behind. • • • Do you own a vacation home where you'd, like to have plenty of flowers with little work? Order nasturtium seeds now, both the dwarf and the tall form. Dwarf nasturtiums will make a gay carpet wherever you need one. Tall nasturtiums, which are vines, will cover fences or walls in short order. Just clear the spot where you want nasturtiums to grow and scatter the seeds over it. • • • The reason for planting certain flowers and vegetables as early as it Is possible to work the soil is that they require cool weather to start growth. Sweet peas, larkspur, popples, calendulas and delphiniums are among the flowers with this requirement; onions, peas, spinach, radishes and lettuce among the vegetables. • e, • Should the weather prevent your working outdoors, take the opportunity to check over your garden tools. Sand any roughness on woden handles, replace old handles with new, clean off rust and repaint the handles of small tools bright yellow or orange so they can readily be seen. . • • • * One kind of stock that will flower even in the northern part of the country is known as Try* •somic -Seven Week stock. Most of the flowers will be fully double and all the stock colors will be represented. • • * From early spring to late summer you can tuck a few onion sets in any odd corner and, within 3 weeks from planting, have them ready to use on the table. So don’t let those little corners go to waste. • • • One of the easiest of all flowers to grow' Is calliopsis. There are both tall and short-growing varieties, both with flowers In shades of golden yellow, reddish brown and purplish brown. Scatter the seeds where the plants are to grow. • • • Rhubarb chard may be used as an ornamental as well as a vegetable. Grow the plants in a seedbed and space them evenly when transplanting so they have room to spread and reach full size..
