- playing an almost f1awleSs floor
game and sniping a third of their
basket attempts, Cliffs Red and
Black LoganSport high school Gag
ers snatched the lead in the North
Central Conference net campaign
here last night with a 81 to 16 vic
tory over a hitherto undefeated
Tech five from Indianapolis.
The Green and White team came
up without Johnny Townsend, who
is suffering with an infection of a
cut above the eye he suffered week
ago at Muncie.
Although Townsend's absence
slackened the Tech offenSe greatly,
it still would have taken something
of a miracle, had he been in the
tilt, to have stopped the Logan
berries last night.
Their fast blocking plays coming
from the famed merry-go-round
passing maneuver in front of the
Tech defense were a problem for
which Tim Campbell's lads didn't
have the answer, and Wells had
built up a buncket defense around
Techs familiar pivot play that kept
the Green and White cagerS out of
dangerous territory throughout the
tilt.
TECH drew first blood when Hair
L. slipped under for field goal
in tn ef1rst seconds of the game
but Logansport came back with
their circling pass attack and Smith
InSley, Clay and Horstman boosted
the Red and Black count to twelve
points before Pagach Topped one
from outside the free throw zone
At the quarter the count was IL
to 4.
The Loganberries ran up five
points more in the second quarter
while HUT and Woerner each added
a single point on free throws. AT
hal ftime the score was 20 to 6.

count to 26 in the third period

Previously the Tech offense had
been listless. The newcomers speed
ed into the tilt and for the first
time in the contest the Green and
White cagers really worked. Pabach
and Hair looped field goals, and
Pagach scored again before Logans-
port called time out. Smith added
three points on field bucket ano

WASHINGTON. Feb. 25. (UP)
Relief for. deht-burdened indi-
viduals and farmers, as well as
their creditors. was in sight today
as the senate began work yester-
day on the revolutionary LaGuar-
dia-McKeown-Hastings bill to re-
wise bankruptcy laws.
The house already has passed a
similar relief measure. President
Hoover and President-elect Roose-
welt favor it. Mr.. Hoover pro-
posed this sweeping reform which
would permit individual debtors
to enter agreements with their
creditors to reduce or extend their
obligations, subject to federal
court ratification.
Whether relief will be extended
to great corporations which are
in difficulties. particularly rail-
roads, is up to the senate. The
senate judiciary committee strip
ped the house measure of provl-
sions to permit large-scale corpo-
ration reorganization.
Senator James Couzens, Repn.,
Mich, is supported by a large
group on his proposed amendment
to include railroads. The issue
will be fought out next week. The
senate yesterday perfected the
bills, provisions relating to indi-
viduals and farmers. Some SEN
ators are expressing the view that
The bill should be enacted in its
