Means Effective Service

When fellow has to local transportation facilities

ious to have those facilities effective
He wants to feel that he always count the service;
that it sure be there take him where he wants to
go and bring him back again.
And he wants the service furnished at low rate
possible.
To give effective service at the lowest rate requires
that the strictest economy in operation must be ex-
ercised and every vesge of useless duplication and
waste removed
The way troeys and buses are run under present cond-
tions there is because there useless duplication
This cannot be continued indefinitely.
Coordinated Service of both troleys and Buses oper

Iowa City, Ia. Dec l3.-Butler col
lege of Indianapolis. which usually
upsets several conference basket ball
teams in early season games against
Big Ten members. comes to Iowa
City Saturday night to engage the
quintet from the University of Iowa.
Coached by Pat Page. former Chi.
cago star. the Butler troupe can be
counted on to display a lot of basket
ball, and Coach Barry is telling his
men this week that unless they play
with more consistency than in their
first game a week ago. they are apt
to find themselves beaten ere the con.
ference season starts.
Last Saturday night Barry sat on
the sidelines and watched his basket
ball team score only II points in 10
minutes against the North Dakota
Agricultural college team Of Fargo.
He saw glaring defects in the play
of the team as a whole, and has been

One Of these flashes came in the
five-minute overtime period after the
regular playing time had ended with

the lightning offense of Barrys men
swept down the floor with relentless
ease and speed, scoring four baskets
and three free throws. while the
Hawkeye defense held the Aggiea
scoreless.
The brightest spot in the opening
game was the sterling defensive game
