Bowling Green DrubIDed by HurOns
Locals Steal
Many Bases

Clear-cut proof that crime OF
sort-does pay rewards was pre-
scented before an approving jury OF
partisan spectators Saturday by
Michigan Normal baseball team
which pilfered bases in wholesale
lots TO hand Bowling Green Uniyer-
sity a 10 clubbing at Briggs Field.
The Hurons stole so many bases
that one facetious denizen OF the
dugout suggested that the Bowling
Green players tighten their belts in
order TO prevent the theft OF their
uniforms. Sly OF hand and quick OF
foot, the Stitesmen might have
even turned that trick If the game
had lasted little longer.
AS it was, the Hurons strodeN
around the sacks at their ease TO
provide their pitchers (there were
three OF them) with huge lead. En-
couraged by the trust placed in
them, Ken Carakostas, Charles
Greig, and Ed Gilday combined to
exhibit the best mound work the
Hurons have seen this year.
Most OF the audacious base runs
ming negotiated by the Michigan
Normal diamond warriors was
crowded into the seventh inning.
The Hurons were in front by 3-2ni
margin at the time.
Charles OXley opened the chap
ter with his third single Of the after
noon, stole second and third and
reached home on Catcher Bill Buntse
poor throw past the third basemen.
Bowling Green halted proceedings
temporarily to rack up two outs,
but Al Hutchins followed with a
single.
And Warren Piche kept the fun
going by also exploding a single.
which moved Hutchins TO third. The
pair pulled off a double steal, Hut :

Espen became so unperved that he
walked Bob Harvey.
Piche came a-winging home on

SIX DAY SCHOOL

Governor Sam c. Ford urged
county superintendent of
schools Monday to start a six
day school week and reduce
holidays so that pupils would
be freed for spring and fall
farm work. The Governor spoke
at a meeting of county superin-
tendents Monday of this week
at Helena.

ious shortage of farm labor, and
urged a school program that
would crowd the same amount
of study into fewer weeks, per-
hitting the closing of schools,
especially in farm areas. several
weeks earlier in the spring and
opening later in the fall. ~
Eliminating or greatly reduce
ing the number Of holidays was
also suggested as a means OF
shortening the school year.

F. Casey, board member, was
gratified by the recent United

which has a far reaching bene-
fit to Montana grain producers

prohibited Kansas City, Mo-, and
seven other primary grain mar

Court to intervene, and was
represented by it's counsel and
Commissioner Horace F. Casey.
