Hargaden has shown enough to
warrant the opening game assign

The golf team, under the cap

on Friday.
Favored with good weather the
Georgetown nine is farther ad-
vanced this year than it was last
year, but is faced with a lack of ex
perienced players. The Hoya golf
ers open their season Saturday at
the Congressional Country Club
entertaining the representatives of
Rollins College of Winter Haven,
Fla.
Captain Saverine is the out
standing man on this years team.
He is an excellent receiver and is
one of the best-hitting catchers
ever to represent the Hilltop.
The Hoyas should face Dart
mouth with the following lineup:
AL Perrine, 1b.
Bob Ferrar, %.
Ed Bodine, SIS.
Gus Crenshaw, 3b.

ing for berths with the midget
team, while the remainder of the
school body is cluttering up the
golf courses.
Spirit like this warns the
heart of every coach. And it
certainly is making Coach Joe
Gardner smile broader and
broader every day. Says Gardner:
"You know there's some
thing to this spirit business
after all. 1t starts in the schools
all right and it goes from there
to the sandlots and on to the
professional realm of sports.
This is proven by the reamS
of newspaper stuff we read
of times about the school or

team is led by Captain Billy
Dettweiler, pitcher and short
stop, and De Sales Powell, first
sacker and southpaw hurler.
Neither of these youngsters saw
service on the mound last year,
but this was because Don Nc
Namara and Heating, now gradu'
ated, were around. But they're
sure to be called upon to pitch
this season as the team has only
one other twirler, and he is in
reality an outfielder. He is Lloyd
Rice.

field candidates. The latter has
been showing up particularly well
in recent practice sessions.
According to Coach Gardner
there isn't the greatest talent in
the above lineup, but he believes
the spirit and logged determine

over at the Prep this season. It
will at that if the youngsters keep
up the good work.

DAIRY MEN WIN
OLEO SK|RMISH
House Defeats Committee
Report to Postpone
Action on Bill.

Indiana dairy interests today won
decisive victory in the House OF
Representative when that body de-
feated a committee report to in
definitely postpone action on bill
levying a tax on oleomargarine.
A few minutes later, however, the
artificial butter lobby won a partial
victory when the proposed tax was
reduced from Is cents to cents q
pound.
During the debate, Rep. H. H.
Evans (R, NewcaStle) charged that
Paul Fry, state purchasing agent,
had bought large quantities of
oleomargarine in st. Louis for In
diana institutions at cents pound
when, Rep. Evans said, he person.
ally could have bought it in New
castle for IS cents for two pounds.
Observed in StatehouSe lobbies
before the House vote and during
the debate was Joel E. Baker,
Marion County criminal court in
vestigator, who is reported to have
been interested in defeat of the tax
ing measure. He had represented
himself as a stockholder in an oleo-
margarine concern.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee had recommended indefinite
postponement Of the bill. This was
rejected 60-32 by adoption of the
amendment providing a scent tax.
The measure was thereby placed in
line for final vote tomorrow.
Rep. William J. Black Cd, An
derson), urged defeat of the taxing
bill, asserting that the tax will place
an additional hardship on poor peo-
pie He claimed farmers themselves
are buying oleomargerine.
Rep. Paul B. Sturm Cd, Dana
urged adoption of the measure as a
protection for Indiana dairymen.
Following this action Rep. John
C. Kirch Cd, Indianapolis) intro
duced bill levying 10-cent tax on
oleomargarine, effective July l.
However. the bill specified the tax
should apply to oleomargarine man
ufactured with foreign oils and eX-
empts all oleomargarine made in In
diana.

Indiana's first step toward becom-
ing the 22nd state of the Union to
ratify the Federal Child Labor
Amendment will be taken at 7 to-
night when the Committee on Labor

slider at a public hearing a joint
ratification resolution of the General
Assembly.
Indiana's first move to abolish
for al time employment of persons
under Is years of age has the APP
proval of 40 Representatives who
signed the joint resolution in the
House.
Administration leaders in both
Senate and House favor ratifica-

which is in the hands of the COM
