RY vERN \

II VIII be a long time before
l. Indianapolis basketball fans
will witness another game like
that Shortridge-Tech scramble at
the east side court Friday night.
When they ceased firing. Tim
Campbells Tech FASTENERS held a
40 to 80 edge, but that doesn't tell
half of it.
Eight points in the last two
minutes of play-four each by Big
Leroy Edwards and almost as big
johnny Townsend-gave Tech the
edge after the eastsiders had trailed
throughout the entire conflict. And
that final bucket by Townsend was
scored with ten seconds to go.
1t was a tough mi for
Kenny Peterman's FASTENERS to
drop, but the Blue Devils should get
some consolation out of the fact
that they outplayed the eastsiders
throughout most Of the game.
n n n
TOWNSEND, the husky Tech for
Il ward, stole the show, with
twenty-one points. including ten
field goals. This youngsster has few
if any, peers in Hoosier prep cir
cles. He handles the leather with
the grace and ease of a finished
performer and is a great team play
er. Johnny's underline basket work
put Tech over the hump Friday
night. The rest of the Arsenal
FASTENERS gave him red-hot support.
Big Jack Seward gave a fancy ex-
hibition for Shortridge. He took
most of the tips from Edwards,
tickled the Grapes six times and
turned in a swell defensive job of
stopping Edwards until the closing
minutes of play.
IT was all Shortridge at the out
4 set, the northsiders sweeping
into a 9-to-2 advantage behind the
accurate tossing of Yelch, Seward
and Robinson. Wayne Huston,
Techs midget forward, rallied his
mates with three field goals and
Tech knotted the count at 12-all.
Seward tailed to give Shortridge a
14-12 edge at the quarter post.
Shortridge added power in the
second quarter and at rest time the
eastsiders trailed by a 22-to-17
margin.
The third quarter was a duel be-
tween Townsend and Yelch. The
Tech ace batted in four under the
hoop. The lanky Shortridge for
ward took five spot shot and was
paid off on four of them.
n n n
GHORTRIDG continued its
~ snappy play at the start of the
final period, maintaining an ap-
parently safe lead. Robinson's side
flip made it Shortridge, SO, Tech, 30.
Townsend pushed one in under the
hoop, but Seward batted in another
two-pointer for the blue.
1t was 38 to 80, Shortridge, with
less than three minutes to play. Ed
wards and Townsend counted on tip
ms. The rivals battled furiously.
Huston grabbed the oval, dribbled
down the side and fired. He missed,
but Edwards batted in the rebound
to tie the count.
With less than a minute to play,
Shortridge tried another long shot
and missed. Huston again grabbed
the ball, dribbled down, fired and
missed. Townsend got this rebound,
tipped it in and the gun sent 5000.

TELEPHONE NUMBER NINE
THE OUTBURSTS OF CLARENCE

The outburst of Clarence True Wilson, secretary of the
Board of Temperance and Public Morals of the Methodist
Episcopal church, in Cincinnati the other day in which
he criticised President Hoover for what he termed the
"'desertion" of the cause of prohibition and an
nounced that he intended to vote for Norman Thomas,
the Socialist candidate for president, is an example of the
activities of certain extremists who have done the cause
of temperance far more harm than good in the United
States during the past few years. 1t was a childish per-
Torrance at best, and equal to some of the other alice
in Wonderland" activities during the present campaign.
No wonder it has not been approved by the saner heads
of the dry movement.
Brother Wilson does not say in what respect he expects
to advance the cause Of prohibition by joining the Social
ist party, which certainly does not agree with Clarence
on the subject of liquor. For the Socialists, let it be re-
m~embered, are in favor Of the repeal Of the Eighteenth
Amendment, favor the taking of the liquor industry I'M
der government control with the right of each state to
maintain local option within it's borders, if it so desires.
This platform, we are told, has been approved by a refer
endum of the socialists themselves.
Certainly Brother Wilson can find little solace in po-
litical associates who favor such a program. 1t becomes
evident, therefore, that he has been actuated by that
peevishness which is often a fault of intelects which are
politically inexperienced.
The older section of our readers will be reminded by
this outburst Of the old political Prohibition Party of by
gone days. While many Of it's members were sincerely
and honestly believers in prohibition, a great many OF
the leaders and a goodly %sprinkling Of the joiners be-
came Prohibition Party members because they had fallen
out with the Republican and the Democratic organiza-
tions. either as disappointed office seekers or as disap-
pointed minority principle" p%urveyors, in these parties
The fact that Mr.. Wilson is joining the Socialist party
for the time being will probably have no effect on the re-
suit of the election. Mr.. Thomas does not expect to be
elected president anyhow so that the accession of Brother
Wilson will neither aid nor harm him.

.N.B.C. PROGRAM TO
FEATURE MONTANA
Mondays Broadcast To Be
Radio Panorama In
Music, Story

National attention will be foe

in music and story of the states
contribution to the historical and

from the days of Lewis and Clark,
through the Indian battles and the
gold rushes to the present time
when her mines and fields supply
minerals and grain to the world.
An orchestral medley of miners
songs with vocal interlude to be
sung by John Fogarty, well known
radio artist, who has lived in Mon
tana the most of his life will be
one of the features of the pro-
gram. Another will be 1.-THE Bat
tie of Little Big Horn to be
played by the concert orchestra
under the direction of Emo Rapee.
Other numbers will include a
group of cowboy sopgs and med
legs of the popular songs of the
state as well as the state and col
lege songs.
Among those who have cooper
ated in supplying the material
from which the program has been
arranged are Lewis L. Howard,
director of the Montana State Col
lege regimental band, Barclay
Craighead, director of publicity of
the Montana department of agri-
culture, labor and industry, tire

State 5 Extravaganza Should
IBe Curbed Says Hazelbaker

what its offspring has so nobly
achieved.
Revenue Squandered
Coupled with the deplorable
showing of the present admins
tration in its financial accounting
is the fact that no previous ad-
ministration ever had the large
sums of money available for state
purposes. This administration was
the first to be provided with the
income from an increased inheri-
lance tax, from the Metal Mines
tax, from the oil, coal, cement and
other new taxes. Then, in spite
of these millions of additional rev.
enue, the present administration
sent the state further into debt
without relief to the taxpayers.
Had not that additional revenue
been received during the last sew
en- years this state would now
have a floating Indebtedness of
$8,400, 900. During that period
Montana was at the height of its
prosperity and state income was
at the greatest ever known in our
history. This additional revenue
alone had it not been squandered
would have wiped out the state
debt.
Prosperous years are the years
in which debts should be paid. But
in Montana those were the years
when these added millions were
wasted. Blame the legislature.
Yes, they should take their share
