TAKES
The GAME

Grand Rapids lost the final game to
Baraboo by a score of 81 to 10. This
score shows what condition the boys
we're in after the grueling battle with
The famous Fondy quint.
Grand Rapids played eight games
N eight days during and before the
Milwaukee tournament and then play
I'd three games in succession at Apple
Ton. This is not an excuse, but shows
What the boys went through.
However, Grand Rapids players are
recognized by E. G. Schroeder Of To-
va University who refereed the APP
oleton games and who gives Petersen

ENGLISH AND OTHER FOOD
SUPPLIES IN GERMANY
DESPITE THE BLOCKADE
(By Carl w. Alderman, United Press
Correspondent

(By Carl W. Alderman, United Press
Correspondent
Berlin, April $50 many unexpect-
ed supplies reach Berlin that state
ment of Germany's food situation to-
day is difficult. So many different
kinds of food stuffs are on the market
today that one wonders whether the
English blockade has gone out of bu-
siness or whether Turkey and Bull
garia are yielding up their stores for
Germany. Whatever the cause, the
result is apparent. Germany has more
varieties of food on the market to-
lay and larger supplies than at any
zine during the winter. A good deal
3f food slips by the blockade. For
this reason it may safely be stated
that the crisis in the food situation for
this winter is passed. Spring and
summer with their garden vegetables
and supplies will prevent any critical
shortage then, unless it be in meats.
For several days there have been ru-
mors that there would soon be four
meatless days week, but this was Of
icially denied by the LokaI Anzeiger.
The butter situation still is acute but
the authorities are issuing butter
cards so there will be no need for the
thousands to wait hours in butter
lines on the three days a week when

Gasoline has become an article of
great Importance in business, and do
mestic life as we'll as in the life of the
