'Phog' Allen Believes National
Meet Would Aid Olympic
Team Selection

Lawrence, kas.. Feb. 1.-(P)-rrhe
"old maestro" Of Missouri valley bas-
ketball, "Phog' Allen Of the Univer-
sity of Kansas. favors the national
championship Rose Bowl idea for
college basketball teams advanced by
Adolph Rupp, University OF Kentucky
coach and former guard on Aliens
Jayhawker squad.
However, Allen points out that con-
ferences such as the Big Ten and Big
Six forbid post-season competition
under rule waived only occasionally
and then i'll the name Of charity.
Allen, who has produced q cham
pions in Is years of coaching, believes,
of course. that Kansas might make it
tough for national championship con-
tenders were 1t not for the Big Six
restriction. THIS year he has one OF
the best teams OF his career and 1t
seems certain to win fifth straight
conference title.
Fav0rs Interscctional Play
Il really think it would be boon
for basketball" Allen says, land might
develop national champion, sans
the winners of the championships OF
various conferences that have rules
prohibiting their entry. It is barely
possible that tine best teams would be
from among the group that permits
such thing.
Il believe intersectlOnal games are
doing a great good in furthering more
uniform officiating and providing
better rules interpretation
With basketball TO be included ii
the 1886 Olympic games the question
of a national champion to represent
the United States has come to thu
forefront.

Lo cierto es que desde principles

por los contornos.

Pero Maria Tomasa Sc aprovecha-

Independence.
Cuando en- las ultimas semanas de

diana legislative resolution asking
for complete investigation of natural
gas pipe lines and an alleged monop-

Senator Minton, as a member of

may seek further action, he has said
The resolution was adopted by the
Indiana Legislature after it was pre-
pared by members of the legislative
committee investigating the natural
gas industry of Marion County.
1t has been charged by Senator
Gerald Nye (R., N d. that large
interests in the industry have COM

region.
First decentralization of the Sem
ate came from the mayors of large

Indiana painters may have an
adequate knowledge of their sub
ject matter" he said, but they
do no analyzing, no sitting, put
no accent upon the significant.
They are not regionalists.
He said that typical" painting,
such as is done by most Indiana
artist, is not good material" He
told of being threatened by
woman who called him shortly
after his American Gothic"
which depicts two rural figures,
had been mistakenly published
under the name of Iowa Farmer

ened to smash in his head.
Mr.. Wood explained that the
figures were not typical Iowans,
but we're regional characters.

DADDING up and down his

Grant Wood, the Iowa Moses of
American art, last night dismissed
as local color painters" the entire
Indiana delegation to the art
world.
Indiana painters are local
colorists who try to paint what
is typical of Indiana. Being i'm
preSsionistS, they are, interested
primarily in depicting how SUM-
light falls on the surface of OBJ
jectS. The objects themselves have
little or no meaning, excepting as
they provide surface to catch
the light" said Mr. Wood.
