MAYBE I'm wrong and stop me
1Vk if you've heard it before, but
if there's a basketball team in IN
diana right now comparable to the
Muncie Bearcats and Frankfort Hot
Dogs of last year, lead me to 'em,
pal, lead me to 'em.
q n
Lo, these many weeks, ole Blackboard
has Travelled ever this hOOp-goofy state,
but nary a quintet of championship cali
bre has passed before his obtruding optics.
Muncie, you say? Well, there's good ball
club for you, but it's long way short OF
the 193O-31 title winners. One outfit the
boys are overlooking is Bedford. They
were whoppoed by Bloomington, but Mr..
Pete Phillips Panthers are liable to punch
anybody's team full of holes when they're
feeling right. For details, write Columbus,
Ind.
ANY team that can beat Newcastle and
then hold Muncie to two-point edge on
the Purp.e hardwood Is tough enough-and
that's what the Stonecutters have accom-
plished in recent starts.
That Muncie-Bedford thing Tuesday
night at Bearcat town must have been one
for the books. With the final gun Just
four minutes away. the Stonecutters were
leading Mr.. Pete Jolly's basketeerS by a
decisive 10 to IL margin. Robert Schuck.

the nearest thing to MS Mickey DaylSon blSpa s 5ne
with a one man offensive and banged che

Murray's follow in goal added the win,
ming points. Parham. who was Bedford
hero. also came in for goat honors. With
fifteen seconds of play remaining. the
Stonecu@tEers tiers pllyoter, ms miSseS eS + Two Tree
And those who contend that without
Jack Mann, the Muncie Bearcats are just
another basketball team will add a big
point to their argument when they point
out that when Mann left the floor in the
first quarter, Muncie led to 2. Bedford
then tied the count at 20 at half time
and led 13 to 10 at the three quarters
whistle. But Jack, who makes the pivot
ing chores look like the rhumba, was back
in the lineup tipping the ball to Schuck
when that big rally got under way. He
also was holding the leather way UP above
the Bedford boys heads when Muncie "de-
layed offensed' the final seconds, and he
batted the ball to Murray on the tip-in
shot that counted the winning fielder.
Does anybody have good basketball team
they'd like to trade for one Mann.
DUT getting back to these cham.
- pionship contenders, take Alex
andria. Yes, somebody's going to
take 'em soon, so why not us. The
Tigers are showing the wear and
tear of the hard early season. An
derson is like prosperity, just COM
ing around the corner, but the
trouble is, it may take the Indians
just as long to get around that
point. Newcastle-Haven't seen 'em,
but they say they're in the money.
But if Bedford beat 'em, Their they
aren't champions, even if Mr.. Huff
man did watch the Trojans sink
from the sidelines because he played
too hard or too rough or something
like that.

March 6 Q.N.S0. DIR. Miller
Reese Hutchison, former associate
of Thomas A. Edison, today said
he had invented a process for
enlarging photographs that will
greatly facilitate the taking. of
pictures from the air.
DR.. Hutchinson explained that he
expected his invention to revolu-
tionize aerial photography. It
will reduce aerial cameras from
the large sizes now in use to a
camera about the size Of a small

said, can be made to operate by
clockwork.
In wartime, he said, a pigeon
can be turned loose from a plane
over enemy lines and, although
the plane may be shot down, the
pigeon will return to its base with
a Photographic record of what
the observer saw.
The whole secret is in the
enlarging, DR.. Hutchison said.
His process enables him to en-
largea picture to forty-eight times

FAMED CATTLE RANCH SOLD

Silver City, N. M.-(UP)-An- other of the famous cattle proper ties of the southwest has been sold.
 The 216,000-acre COS ranch. founded in 1885, has been acquired by Herbert H. Estes, Edgar Tim berlake and w. A. Adams. The consideration was not announced. |. The ranch is in the Gila Nation al Forest, and has a large herd of cattle and valuable headquarters and ranch buildings. It was found ed by G. o. Smith and the late Vic tory Culberson, former president of the National Livestock Association.
 In 1882 Culberson arrived in Ell Paso from Georgia with $50. In a few weeks the $50 disappeared.
 Finally Culberson set out for Deming, N. H. He walked the 100 miles. and from Deming went to Georgetown, mining camp in Grant county.
 G. O. Smith. then a mine fore man, had acquired 121 cattle and wanted someone to care for them. Culberson took the job, after the two men had agreed they would divide the increase at the end of three years.
 This was the start of the COS ranch.
