saues time Uitan1ins -saves flavor

TODAY modern gas ranges do more
than save your time. They make it
possible for you to cook more delicious
and healthful dishes as well.
For instance, the successful baking
of cakes, pies, and breads to a light and
evenly Drowned turn involves two i'm
portant factors - evenly distributed
heat, perfectly controlled; and an UNI
limited range of baking temperatures.
The modern gas range with its insulated
oven gives you both of these important
factors.
Oven cooking, too, with these new
gas ranges gives better tasting foods
at saving in time and cost. For auto
matte heat control makes baking failures
almost impossible. Insulation enables you
to do 5000 more cooking with the
same amount of gas. The high speed grill
seals more flavor in the meat-broils in
about half the time.
Why not stop in our Office or visit any
cooperating gas appliance dealer and see
the many new features of these modern
gas ranges for yourself?

the outlook is exceedingly bright.
If you will study the complete
tourney schedule closely, you may
logically come to the conclusion that
Anderson is the only real obstacle
in the path of the Marion County
champion to the fieldhouse windup.
The course of the local survivor
through the regional and emi-final
straits probably holds less threat
than those to e sailed by teams in
any other division of the state.
Regional at Anderson
Granting that Anderson wins its
own sectional, indianapolis takes on
the defending state champion in the
first regional contest in Indian city
1t should be remembered that
defending champs" applies to last
years Anderson quintet, and not TO
the current edition. The Indians
this year have turned out record
of IL victories and nine defeats.
That's feir enough, considering the
Big Ten crowd they ran around
with, but it's not so impressive, or
shouldn't be, that Indianapolis need
go into the fracas with in inferior
ity complex.
That Anderson holds no particu-
lar hex over local schools was
proven when Shortridge whipped
the Chaddmen in a season curtain

CHICAGO, March 4.-Basketball
~ proved huge success finan-
cially in the Big Ten Conference
this year. A United Press survey
showed that more than 100000 pers
sons paid nearly 100000 to watch
the teams.
The average attendance was 1000,
including both conference and non
conference games. Average admis-
sion price was estimated at rs
cents.
A new high mark for paid admis-
sions was set at Wisconsin, where
101,313 seats were sold for IL home
games. Badger authorities sold
1884 season coupon books to STU
dents and faculty members while
1000 additional seats for each home
contest were gobbled up by the
public.
The largest crowd to see a single
game was 1854, when Purdue played
Ohio State at Columbus Jan. 6. It
was the largest crowd to attend a
game there since 1924, when the
Buckeyes won their only undisput-
ed Big Ten title.
A season record also was estab-
lished at Ohio State with 57.944.
The best previous mark was 1874.

Purdue sold out in advance for
three of its conference games and
played to capacity crowd each
time at home. Northwestern, usual
ly one of the poorest drawing cards
at home, was sold out twice.
