Athletics.

The basketball teams of CoXburg clos
ed one of the most successful seasons by
defeating Lexington for the county
championship. The boys game was close
all the way. Coxburg finally winning
by points. The girls game was some
what onesided Coxburg girls winning
by 26 to II or 2 to /.
The boys probably had the best team
this year that has ever represented the
school IN tournaments and won their
way to the quarter finals before being
put out by the district champions. The
girls were beaten in the semi-finals by
Barnes in a close game which more re-
sembled football than basketball
Throughout the season both teams
have been steadily winning. The girls
whipping Sails Is points at one time
and losing to them by points at an
other. The boys also split with Sails.
The teams will be practically intact
for next season-the boys losing one
regular and the girls losing one substi-
tute Both squads will receive valua-
bic reserves from the grammar school
graduates of this year to help balance
the outfit and if predictions are worth
anything both teams will have the most
formidable talent next year in the his
tory of the school.
After hanging up their basketball suits
for the year several of the players DON
ned track shorts for a whirl at running
and jumping. The girls are planning a
relay 50yd dash, high jump and broad
jump. The boys will probably enter the
Jump contests only.
The following students have been Sc
lected to represent our school in dis
trict literary events to be held in Kos
ciusko on March oath:
Elise Chisolm, Algebra Ii; Reba Nix
on Algebra |; Marguerite Wallis, Eng

BOOKKEEPING AT
FOUR COLLEGES
TO Be CHANGED
Uniform, Modern System Is
Recommended Following
State Probe.

A uniform system of bookkeeping
and purchasing will be established
at the four state colleges as the re-
suit of an investigation by the state
board of accounts, Governor Paul v.
McNutt announced today.
Aimed chiefly at Indiana uni.
verSity, where examiners said they
found antiquated and unsystematic
methods of bookkeeping and pur-
chasing, the investigation was con-
Quoted at Purdue and Indiana uni
versities and Indiana State and Ball
State Teachers colleges.
Examiners reported that although
systems at Purdue, Indiana State
and Ball State were not IS anti
quated as those at Indiana. there
was evidence that uniform and more
modern methods should be adopted.
Governor McNutt said uniformity
throughout all state institutions
would be established as a matter of
economy and would give fngertip
knowledge of the conditions of insti.
buttons without extensive audits.
