Basket ball in the Midlands is

into contact in a way that is not

suit is that interest in the cage game
in the Big Ten equals that manifested
in foot ball.
With seats close to the floor line
spectators are favored with that close
up view of athletes In action which is
SO desirable. The number Of plays in
basket ball and their intricacy are
probably as great as in foot ball, and
the coaching is just as intensive, If
not more so. No single coach any

BONDS CLOSE WEEK
AT YEARS HIGHS
Average of Rail, Industrial and
Utility Liens Climbs to
New Levels.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. March 12.-Although
week end profit-taking developed in a
number of issues of the secondary
grade. prices in today's bond market
continued to move steadily forward.
The combined average of 40 leading
railway, industrial and utility lines
closed the week at the highest levels
of the year.
In the Federal Government list.
Treasury 3a4s displayed further buoy
ancy, advancing again to a new high
record. A moderately heavy demand
centered on the second Liberty 4Ls,
but the price held unchanged. The
spirited buying which began in this
division on the announcement of new
Government financing had an appear
ance of tapering off.
Industrial issues displayed strength
with number of important gains.
Anglo-Chilean Nitrate rs gave further
response to reports of savings affected
in nitrate production in Chile, and
KellySpringfield IS was well sup
ported, probably on prediction of an
early increase in the price of tires.
Demand for railway bonds was
again directed toward high-grade mort
cages such as the st. Paul issues and
New Haven 6s. The recently popular
convertible liens sustained further re-
cessions on profit-taking. Utilities
were firm, but relatively quiet.
Accumulation on French Is and
Italian rs featured the foreign group,
in which prices were steady.
