Twenty feet below he found a slight projec-

crevice into which he could insert the fingers
of his left hand. Gingerly he pulled one strand
of the rope. Little by little he drew it until
the upper end passed around the projection
over which the rope had been Topped at the
summit and it fell upon him. So slender was
his foothold that even this motion almost
threw him OF his balance into the depths

At last the surface of the spire became

long before Tarzan stood again squarely upon

Indiana's great three ring legisla-
tive circus more or less was neglected
Tuesday afternoon while spectators
f1ocked to a sideshow to hear de-
lightedly such substantial citizens
as senators, school officials and at
torneys indulge in a rapid fire act Of
plain and fancy insinuations.
The performers were members of
senate Judiciary B committee, JET
fersonville citizens and school
authorities. The program was con-
sideration Of a bill wrestling control
Of high school athletics from the
Indiana High School Athletic AS
ISOLATION. The 'tent" was the
supreme courtroom at the state
house.
After listening to arguments for
and against the measure for more
than two hours, the judiciary COM
m1ttee went into executive sessions
and in approximately one-half hour
returned a 9-to-1 verdict to post
pone the measure indefinitely.

Senator Roy M. F'riedley CRep.

assertion he has been informed that

I. S. H. A. A. accounts as far as
seven or eight years ago and Sena-

helped things along with the in
situation the athletic association
has been racketeering.
Kehoe, author of another bill to
dislodge the board of control of the
athletic association, and A. L.
Trester, its commissioner for thir-
teen years, brought in the racketeer-
ing charge.
Don't you think it's racketeer-
ing to deny member schools the
right of court appeal?" he demand
ed of Floyd I. McMurray, Lebanon,
president of the association, receiv-
ing in reply vigorous denial.
Sharpest personal clash Of the
session came when Samuel L. Scott,
Jefersonville, former president of

the State Teachers Association,
took up the court appeal rule Of
the athletic association.
'MusSolini himself never issued
such an autocratic edict as the as
ISOLATION does in denying court ap-
peal for grievances" shouted Scott,
pounding the table in an inlpas-
stoned manner.
well, if you don't know what's
in the rules when you belong to an
organization, then God pity the
school system Of Indiana" retorted
Senator Earl Rowley (Rep., La Porte

best witness for the proponents Of

Rudolph Schinlpff, former Jeffer-
sonville publisher.
Schimpff charged discrimination
by the association against nom
member schools because the latter
are not allowed to play against
member schools. Back in 1914, a
fellow tried to get away with some
thing like that; today, there's one
doing it and getting away with it, I"
he declared with look at Trester.
Trester merely grinned.
The committee also heard testi-

Trips |. U.
NeWboId Leads Notre Dame
to Victory in Rough
Court Fray.
BY CARLOS LANE
rfme. stan Correspondent


BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Feb. A.
Scoring steadily with a cool, de-
layed offense, Notre Danes bas-
keteers took the measure Of Indiana
university here Tuesday night, 25
to 90 in q rough and tumble con-
test.
Bog Newbold, former Rushville
high school ace, romped at the head
of the Irish scoring pack, looping
five from the field and three free
throws, while Dickey, Hoosier soph-
omore center, topped the Crimson
point column with three field and
two free baskets.
8 to 8 at Half
Taking their time to manipulate
into scoring position the Irish pene-
trated the Crimson defense lines for
a g to lead in the first half, when,
one minute before the period closed.
the Indiana cagers spurted to bring
the period count to 8 to g.
Newbold slipped two through the
net quickly in the second half, and
then Notre Dame drew away from
the Deanmen until mid-half, when
another Indiana flash reduced the
Irish edge to two points.
Notre Dame came back, banging
away at the net to pile up and keep
the victorious margin.
Two Forced Out
The battle became rough in the
second session and De Cook was
forced from the game on personal
fouls, taking with him Weller of In
diana, whom he injured in a COLI
sion almost under the basket when
Weller slipped and the Irish center
half-running and half-falling was
unable to check his momentum to
avoid hitting the Indiana player.
