BASKET BALL TIPS

When an opponent executes a shot
from the floor in basket ball, the
guard who is between him and the
basket is good guard only when
he beats the shooter to the rebound,
In case the try misses. Poor guard

a shot without getting into action.
When that is done, the shooter, or a
teammate, will get the rebound, in
case of a miss, and have another
shot from much nearer the basket.

gregation.
Whatever else may happen-and
don't be surprised If record or two
falls-bowling followers who get
glimpse of these two teams, perhaps
the strongest pair in the country, may
be assured of a colorful battle.
With so many shekels at stake, every
National and Connecticut pinman who
breaks into the battle will light to the
last ditch, and neither a Rembrandt
nor a boy with a bucket OF red paint
could add color to this occasion.
Jack White, with his ever-preSent
stogies. is peerless as q Snowman ana
is a top-notch bowler as well. White
will lead the New England team into
the fray.
Then there's Nick Tronsky, powerful
in physique as we'll as bowling ability,
of whom most of the National Pale
Drys contend there's no better pinman
in the North. Nick is one OF the big
eest threats in a lineup already about
as reassuring to the Pale Drys as

The smallest star in bowling Is Bill
Tato, who. though possessed OF a low
chassis, is a bowler Of the FIRST magni-

BILL is PASSED

Having obtained passage of one
of his bills giving the public service
commission greater control over
mergers, Senator Robert L. Moor
head CRep., Marion) today pre-
pared to defend his utility holding
company measure at judiciary A
committee hearing Friday.
The holding company bill would
give the Indiana commission juris-
diction over holding companies own
ing utilities doing business in the
state, by declaring such holding
companies operating utilities.
This bill is opposed violently by
the utility interests and is not ex-
pected to meet with the easy pas
sage in the senate Wednesday after
noon of the. other Moorhead utility
bill.
The merger bill, passed by vote
of 81 to 3, gives the public service
commission the right to turn down
merger petitions which they deem
are not in the best interest of the
public and makes the local unit the
basis in rate making. 1t also ex-
tends and strengthens commission
jurisdiction over rural electric lines.
