WHOLE LOT. YOU PROBABLY
DON'T FEEL LIKE READING
THAT MUCH EITHER.
Two top-notch basketball games
are on tap for tonight. Having
covered many Marion Kokomo
games during our pious youth,
Blackboard can vouch that the fur
will fly up at the Marion field house
tonight when they get together.
Giant-town is all excited. The
Taube-men are the under dogs, and
hope to halt the victory stride
the Wildcats recently have main
tanned. Coach Masters has taken
new material and nodded a strong
quintet. 1t isn't exactly necessary
to say that we're picking the old
home town, Marion-to lose.
TONIGHT BRINGS TOGETHER WILEY

NEWCASTLE, WHILE NOT A GREAT
TEAM. HAS POWER, AND WHEN VAN
NUYS RETURNS TO THE LINEUP MAY
SURPRISE SOME QUINTETS.
Wiley, champions of the Wabash
Valley, have been moving along
at a fast clip, unmolested. They
appear to be the Strongest team
in that section. The Red Streaks
have lost but one game since last
January. Coach Peterson has five
stars, none shorter than six feet.
SpeIlman and Pacatte, forwards;
NIiklozek, center, and Cotton and
Frisz, guards, are the regular
quintet. Captain Pacatte, Miklo-
eek and Cotton have divided star
ring hOnOrs in early games. In
addition to the Newcastle game,
the Wiley five will meet Rushville
Friday night.
Wen string along with the Trojans
tonight, however.

LIP Greencastle back guard, has
been benched for an. alleged ma
nipulation of his thumb and finger
on his nose at an opposing player
during the heated game with Craw-
louisville, old-time rivals.
Don't get the wrong idea, though. Coach
Bausman of the Tiger Cubs apologized to
Charlottesville Officials. Also don't forget
that these same Cubs are coming along at
fast clip, and with Tobin. the Crawley
BOYS, Stone and Gross, may tumble some
of the alleged top-notchers, just as they

tai $47,950 AS compared to $20.115
last year This, is because of the golf

item is S4s.275. The amount re-
duested is 1858. 1885 compar red

CHAMBER DRIVES
severely SCORED
Whiting Doubts Value Of Efforts
to Get Factories

Washington. Jan. 2 Pl-The value
OF drives" for new industries hy
Chambers Of Commerce and other
business organizations In some cases
was questioned today by Secretary
of Commerce Whiting in an address
before officers and directors Of the
National Association Of Commercial
Orga nization Secretaries. The meet
Ing was also attended by Chamber
OF Commerce secretaries and dis
trict office representatives Of the
department Of commerce.
Secretary Whiting said he did not
wish to be misunderstood in the
matter. but declared that not every
community was able to meet the
specialized requirements OF indus
try and that there were cases where
new factories might conceivably be
a PAIRING or disruptive force.
He said he believed that in many
cases a Chamber OF Commerce or
other business organization might
more judiciously revote its efforts
to increasing the efficiency and
profits OF industries that the COM
munity already had.
The work OF bringing home to
business men the dollar and cents
value of economic figures was spok-
en- Of by Secretary Whiting as i'm
portant work for Chambers OF COM
merce. In this connection he men,
toned the retail trade board Of the
Boston chamber and its study Of the
returned goods" problem. The re-
suit Secretary Whiting said. was a
saving of thousands OF dollars to re-
tail merchants OF Boston.
Nom Competitive
He said that there was little like
lihood OF collisions between the
work OF trade associations and
Chambers Of Commerce. since the
organizations we're basically non
competitive. with divergent aims.
He declared also that the depart
ment of commerce scrupulously
sought the avoidance OF competition
with Chambers of Commerce. In the
domestic commerce field, the secre-
tary said the department is carrying
out regional surveys designed TO
help the retailers and that there
were many opportunities for COOP
Grafton by Chambers OF Commerce.
He referred to a department sur
vey Of grocery distribution that is
being carried out in Louisville. Ky,
and said that work done there
would be of benefit to the country at
large. Business men OF Louisville. he
asserted, had come to appreciate the
fact and had given full cooperation.
