PRA CTICE SITUA ATION RELIEVED FOR TECH
Team Granted
Permission
T0USeFieId
BY GARRETT WATERS

The baseball situation at Tech
High was somewhat cleared to-
day, although there are still one
or two obstacles remaining.
Most important to the team,
now being primed by Rusty
Thompson, coach, is the fact per
mission has beeen granted to use
the Tech Stadium.
One of the obstacles, however.
revolves around the playing OF
games. None will be allowed
this spring because the newly
proposed diamond will not be
ready in time.
This means the Techites will
be forced to play all of their in
terhigh series games on foreign
fields, starting with the series
opener, April 9 against woodrow
Wilson.
THOMPSON SATISFIED
"We're satisfied with this ar
rangement," said Coach Rusty
Thompson today. "Of course
we'd like to play our home Sc
ries games at Tech, but if there
is no regular diamond available,
1t cannot be helped. We're con-
soled by the fact we can prac-
tice on the field as it now is
laid out, and that by next year
all will be we'll"
Work on the new diamond will
start Immediately. An arduous
task is ahead because much sod
must be broken for infield pur-
poses, a pitchers mound made
and home plate constructed &C
cording to form.
Too, the fences around the
stadium must be repaired. This
will take time with all of the other,
hence it can be seen why the field
will not be completely available
until next season.
Speaking of tasks, Birch Bayh,
physical education director, will
have one to rearrange the inter-
high schedule. OF course it will
only involve Techs home games.
But he will be forced to find sites
that will not conflict with the out
side schedules of the other teams
in the series.
The Tech Nine, despite all its
past troubles over practice facili-
ties, promises to shape UP fairly
well this season.
Seven Vets on Hand
Seven men are back from the
1885 lineup, including Tom
DooniS, pitcher, Jimmy Wise, ALL
High catcher; Charles Kendall,
first sacker; Roy Lemerise, third
baseman; Joe Ciemei, Abe Fillah
and Walton Merchant, outfield-
ers.
Merchant is being groomed for
the second base post by Coach
Thompson. He will fill the gap
left vacant by the departure from
school of George Larrick.
Newcomers showing up well COM
prise Jack Gordon, third baseman;
Charles Curtis, second Sacker;
Henry RaSSler, ShortStop; Mouse"
Mostow, outfielder; Harold
Howard, first baseman; and Leroy
Linkins, Bud Sorrel and Jim webb,
pitchers.
Webb is the best looking of the
hurling group. He is the son of
Heine Webb, former star sand
lotter. He weighs 100 pounds and
is q highlander.
News from Hot Springs, Ark,
is to the effect AL Pepper, former
Eastern High School star base
baller, has been signed by the Terre
Haute Club, of the Three Eye
League.
Pepper, Tor the past five weeks,
has been making a name for him

Home Heating
Hints By John Barclay
nhnAn3V Heating Expert
Have Your Furnace Cleaned and
Inspected Now Before the Cold
Weather Comes Along.

HERE'S a straight money
- saving tip: Before starting
your heating plant this fall, be
sure it's thoroughly vacuum
cleaned. 1t is one of the greatest
precautions you can take to in
sure it's most economical opera
ton during the winter ahead.
When the heating surfaces are
covered with as little as one
sixteenth of an inch of SCOT (Which
acts as an insulator against heat,
being five times as effective as
asbestos) it wastes fully one-quar-
ter of every ton Of coal you burn!
What's more, a furnace caked
with dirt and dust won't deliver
nearly as much heat as clean
furnace will.
Call in a competent service man
now and arrange for thorough
vacuum cleaning of your furnace
He will do the job without muss or
inconvenience.
While he's doing that, have him
check up the whole heating sys-
tenn from flue to ashpit-guard
against any possible failure of the
plant after cold weather sets in.
I know you'll find the cost is little
compared with the staggering
cost of the fuel that dirty, faulty
plant is sure to waste! Every
home-oWner wants to save and not
waste his f. -'~''o~~

out campaign for more local housing
authorities.
Model Forms Prepared.
Legal aides have prepared model
forms for setting up such an authority
in any State which has adopted the
necessary authorization.
The procedure, in outline, is.
The City Council declares the need
for a housing authority, citing the
existence of insanitary or unsafe in
habited dwellings and shortage of
safe and sanitary accommodations.
The mayor appoints the members
of the authority.
States which have not enacted
housing laws are Arizona, California,
Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Mime
sofa, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada,
New Hampshire, New Mexico, Okla
homa, South Dakota, Utah, Virginia,
Washington and Wyoming.
In some, however, local housing au-
thorities may be set up without State
action. Los Angeles has a municipal
housing commission, although Cali
fornia has no State law.

Although 80 States have laws en-
abling them to participate in Gov

cities have created housing authori-
ties to manage local developments,
housing experts said
The Federal program is based on
local initiative in the low-rent hous-
ing field and its effectiveness thus
depends on the extent to which mu-
inequalities participate.
Housing experts said the experience
of the P. w A. has shown that
project usually is not ready for oc-
cupancy until about two years after
plans are first laid out. Finding
site. selecting the type of building
best suited for local needs and getting
construction under way are time

agency.
Under the Wagner housing law any
local authority may seek a loan from
the United States Housing Authority
to cover 90 per cent Of the cost of a
project. The other 10 per cent must
be furnished by the city, either in
money or land.
In addition, the local housing au-
thority may obtain a yearly subsidy
from the Government to offset part
Of the operating cost.
Construction Loans Limited.
The law limits total construction
loans in any State to s50,000,000 and

total yearly subsidies to 100000. The
rental subsidies for the whole Nation
may total S20,0o0,00O annually at the
end of three years.
Some housing officials expressed the
hope that eventually many local hous-
ing authorities may secure the money
for their projects through private
financing rather than from the Gov
ernment In such cases the locality
still would be eligible for the Federal
rent subsidy.
