High School Basketball Meet
Scheduled for December 30

LANSING, Dec. 16-(R-Jul-
ian Smith, state high school ath-
letics director, said today the
Athletic Associations tourn-
ament committee would meet
here December 80 to decide how
rigid would be the wartime
limitations on the annual state
high school basketball tourna-
ment.
At issue, he said, will be the
question of whether to restrict
II to district tournaments-pos-
sibly nearly twice as many as
the usual 80 meets-or to carry
ii on to regional, and then to
sectional tournaments. He said
he found no clear-cut sentiment
for conducting a final round 10
pick state champions, although
most neighboring states which
have organized interscolastic
tournaments plan to conduct
some sort of final tourney.

Boston Noses
Out Detroit
BY the Associated Press

The Boston Bruins, who have
mt been beaten on their home
ice this season, were three points
ahead Of the field in the national
hockey league today, their wild
est margin since they took over
. share of first place a week
ago.
Making their ninth appear
ance of the year at Boston, the
Bruins nosed out the Detroit
Red Wings, 80, last night as
the only contest scheduled in the
circuit packed most of its thrills
into the final period.
The two teams we're dead
locked at IL with only five
minutes of the game remaining
Then Flash Hollett of the
Bruins rifled q long shot that
bounced 20 feet off the pads OF
goalie Johnny Mowers. Hollett
and Mowers both raced for the
puck, but Boston's Herb Cain
beat them to it an dswept it into
the empty cage.
With less than a minute to
60, Hollett scored what proved
to be the winning goal, taking
q pass from Don Gallinger and
beating Mowers from close
range. Fourteen seconds later,
Mud Bruneteau of Detroit Girl
cled the cage after a three-man
rush and Tipped the disc
through the legs of Goalie Frank
Brimsek.
After a scoreless first period,
Detroit took the lead on a goal
by Carl Liscomb midway
through the second session and
protected it for seven minutes
until Buzz Boil tied the count
for Boston.
There are no games scheduled
in the league tonight, but all
six clubs will return to the ice
tomorrow night.

Another controversial point to
be settled at the December 80
meeting, he said, will be wheth-
er the Association should formal
ly adopt suggestions that classes
A and B, and classes c and d be
consolidated.
There has been some opposi-
ton to this plan," Smith said.
Smith said there has been
some sentiment for restricting
the tournament to two week
ends of district meets, strategic
ally located to reduce the
amount of travel involved, and
with all four classes of play al
lowed usual. He said this would
mean something like 100 tourna-
ments, instead of the normal to-
tai of so district meets.
An alternative plan would
send the winners into is or more
regional meets, and four or five
sectionals.

Splitting of Loop
Finds Little Favor

Immediately doused the idea
with cold water with the most
frigid splash coming from Ed

ton Red Sox.

stage, baseball should call it a

Tie proposed East League

New York, Philadelphia, Boston
and Washington teams, and the
Nationals New York, Brooklyn,
Philadelphia and Boston teams.
WEST LEAGUE
The West League would be
made up of Chicago, st. Louis,
Cleveland and Detroit in the
American, and Chicago, Pitts
burgh, st. Louis and Cincinnati
of the National.
Eastman said he hadn't "the
remotest idea whether the plan
is practicable" but believed it
would affect the internal ar
rangements of the leagues.
Il don't see," he added, that
it's up to me to adjust the af-
fairs of the leagues to that ex-
tent"
The National League presi-
dent, Ford Frick, declined to ex-
press any opinion but declared
that if Eastman wanted the plan
considered, well be glad to
confer with him at any time"
At Pittsburgh, William Bens-
wanger, president of the Pirates
declared himself in favor of any,
thing to help win the war but
expressed doubt the plan would
save enough mileage to be of
any benefit.

Giles of the Reds said at Gin

Florida Sees
Track Boom
Despite War
Season to Open
Mondoy CIouded
in Uncertainty
BY JOHN WILDS

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 16 Up
Taking heart from a wartime
racing boom in other states,
Florida horsemen are looking
forward confidently to the open
ing next Monday of a season
still clouded in uncertainty.
The best Winter racing talent
in the country is on hand and
both Miami tracks are determin-
ed to go ahead even if they lose
money. Still to be answered,
however, is the big question:
Can racing thrive in a resort
where thousands of soldiers and
sailors have taken the place of
tourists, and where travel re-
strictions and gasoline rationing
hit home hard?
The test will come in the first
part of Tropical Parks split
meeting, ending Jan. IL, and
President Henry l.. Straus said
today that he is optimistic over
the prospects.
The Army and Navy have
taken over most of the Miami
Beach hotels, usually occupied
by Winter visitors, but Straus
insisted that thousands will find
way to have a Miami vacation
and if they don't:
Il think the normal popula-
ton of this area is large enough
to support racing"
NOT WORRIED
He refused to be worried by
the facts that both tracks here
are suburban and that Florida
is one of the states where the
b ash gasoline ration is only
three gallons a week.
That's a problem for tn e
race-goers," Straus declared.
Well give them the best meet
ing we can, and leave it to them
to get to the races by sharing
their automobiles or in other
ways"
Both Tropical and Hialeah
parks cleared a profit last Win
ter although the impact of the
war was felt in attendance and
betting.
Since then, there has been a
tremendous upsurge in other
parts of the country in pari-mu-
tuel wagering-all tracks hand
ling $948, 067,5 in bets this
year, against $526,277,335 in
1941. Straus is hopeful that fac
tors, such as increased spending
powers, will take effect here.
Tropical hedged against pos
sible lean times by cutting the
minimum purse to $500 instead
of $1,000, but Hialeah held to q
$1,000 bottom, although cutting
the prizes in the big stake races.
There will be about 1,750
horses in Miami during the win
ter, about 1000 of them at Hia-
leah.

Because ice prices prevailing

istration today shifted the base
period for proceeding on ice from
March to April.
Some of the more common SER
vices which are affected by the
recent price regulation, include:
shoe shines and repairs; dry clean
ing; laundry work; radio, vacuum
and washing machine repairs.
Services which are not price con-
trolled include telephone and tele-

Victory Workers
Make Last Minute
Rubber Roundup

Victory workers in Seattle ship
yards and other war industries
are making a last minute roundup
of rubber, for they still have a
couple of days in which to provide
the wherewithal for more whams
at the Japs.
Having seen the wide variety of
items that have found their way
into the rubber piles at all gas
stations, Victory workers go
home, filled with new ideas for
rubber donations, such as worn
out golf balls, worn automobile
mats, leaky rubbers and galoshes,
worn out jar rings, extra ice cube
dividers, and so on. Baby will be
glad to part with the rubber dolly
you gave her for Christmas, es-
pecially if it will be the means of
making the world a safe place for
her to live in.
Remember, nothing is too small.
Even if it weighs a part of an
ounce, if it's rubber, it's needed.
