Kansas Team Won
Tourney Defeating
Fast Ell Reno Five

Wichita, Kansas, high school bas-
ketball team won the national basket
ball tournament which was held last
week at Chicago by defeating the Ell
Reno, Oklahoma, five. Laramie high
lost to the Ell Reno team on the
evening of April Bird by a score of
10 to 10, however, it was only after
five minutes Of extra play that the
FL Reno team was able to eliminate
the Laramie team from the tourna-
ment.
Wyoming is indeed proud of the
Laramie high school team and of the
creditable showing that that team
made at the national tournament.
The Laramie Republican gives the
following account of the final game
of the tourney:
The Wichita. Kas high school
basketball team won the national
interscholastic basketball champion
ship by defeating Ell Reno high of
Oklahoma Saturday night in the
finals. The score Of the game was 81
to 6. Wichita started out slow. but
after the first quarter of the game
hit its stride and was able to- COM
pletely overwhelm the team from
Oklahoma.
Wichita was touted as a contender
from the beginning of the tourney,
and after it walloped Yankton, S. D.,
last years runner-up the Kansas
team was conceded as at least a ON
tender in the tourney. The Kansans
presented a fast-going team on the
offense and a tight-woven defense
that Ell Reno was unable to- solve.
In tho 1oSt mort nf tho un =, I'll pnnn
staged a rally that netted two bas-
kets, but the rally came too late and
Wichita was able to take the game.
During the contest the winner made
only one personal foul and Ell Reno
scored both free throws awarded on
this one foul.

GROWTH OF GAS FUEL

II. c. Abel of New York. Presi.

ton, stated at the San Francisco con.
ference of gas producers. that the ma.
ton would be compelled to abandon
oil burning for gaseous fuel.
Estimated available fuel oil supply
in United States is nine billion bar.
rels and at the rate of annual pro
duction would exhaust supply at the
end of twelve years, and compel in.
dustries to turn to gas fuel.
Mr.. Abel estimates that at the
end of ten years manufactured gas
production will increase at least 100
per cent, and probably a great deal
more and gas plants will have 20
10000 customers connected with
their mains.
Gas consumption for all uses reach
ed a total last year of four hundred
billion cubic feet, an increase of over
100, 200, 900 900 cubic feet in six
years
Equipment must be provided, saye
President Abel; for an industry
three times it's present size, and will
require hundreds OF millions OF dol
lars of new capital.
