Losing Streak
Dearborn Soilors
Honded 55-24 Loss
BY the Associated Press


The Michigan State Basketball
team has shaken off its losing
streak while the Alma Scots
are beset by one.
There was nothing extraordi-
nary in Michigan States victory
over Dearborn Naval Training
School 55-24 last night to break
the Spartan run of defeats at
seven straight.
However, the fact the Scots
are being pushed around is
something else. Alma took a
trimming last night from Calvin
$3.50 on the Knights floor in
Grand Rapids. 1t was the Scots
second straight loss. In their
last game they bowed to hope.
Hungry for victory, Michigan
State took it out on the sailor
five. For only about the first
ten minutes was it much of a
contest. Two sophomores, Jack
Cawood of Lansing and Dan
Pjesky of Benton Harbor, led the
Spartans with is and IA points,
respectively.
The Kalamazoo Hornet s
stayed in the thick of the fight
for the MIAA championship,
beating Albion 48-44 for its Sec
ond straight in league play.
Hope has the same record, while
Alma, seeking its third straight
title, has two victories and a de-
feat.
Wayne lost its seventh game
in ten starts in being downed by
Crosse lie Naval Base 1925.
It was the sailors eighth VIC
tory in IL starts and avenged an
early season 1925 loss to
Wayne.

Little Green Inn
Draws Forther Ahead

Little Green Inn boosted its
lead from three to six games in
the Defense League at Bowl-O-

combination of its sweep over

odd game from Petch Tool e. Die

NEW YORK, Jan. 20 - Tall
men in basketball are here to
stay, and all the blistering blast
of opposition isn't going to stop
progress and nature.
Boys are just getting taller,
according to Nat Holman, the
Original Celtic who coaches
City College of New York.
Better diet, proper exercise
and saner living are stretching
youngsters into the stratosphere.
With the advent of the Long
Johns, kids six-four and up,
coaches with boys who wear av-
erage-length pants are COM
planning, suggesting and de-
handing higher baskets and
rules calculated to give their
boys chance.
They can scream until there is
an epidemic of laryngitis, how
ever, for any successful team
these days must have two big
elbows or be lost in the shuttle.
PROS MATCHED BEANPOLES
High pockets are not new.
During his time with the Gel
tics, Holman played with the
six-six George Haggerty and Joe
Lapchick, the latter currently
his rival at st. Johns of Brook
Ign. Holman recalls Dick Me-
han of Germantown of the old
Eastern League, who went six
nine.
When word got around the
circuit that team had giant,
the rival managers went out
and got themselves one. Holman
tells how the behemoths stood
around counteracting each other
while the other eight played
basketball. That was that in a
professional circuit, but coll
leges can't go around recruiting
during the regular season, that
is.
Most big men lack Grade A
coordination, but Holman be-
lieves it will come with natural
development.
NOTHING UNFAIR
ABOUT 1T
Drawing an analogy, Holman
believes it is as fair to have
large men in basketball if you
can find them, as it is TO have
giant tackles in football.
Holman considers the six-foot
nine-inch Harry Boykoff as
good a shot as any overstuffed

 ''I feel confident" he declared, ''that by l944 those officeholders who 'Opposed labor are going to be out of job. We want the kind of representatives in Wash ington who will wipe off the slate all the anti-labor bills recently writ ten there. I feel confident that we are going to have Franklin D.

 McCrone, who stated that he hopes to see the day when all branches of labor are living under the same roof, pointed out the New Haven Joint Labor Conference had gained nation wide prominence.
 ''The present session of Congress has done more to cruelty the work ingman in this country than any previous One," declared McCrOne. Look at the voting record, and you will see that it has been strictly anti-labor and anti-RoOsvelt. Despite the splendid no-strike re- cord of Connecticut labor, not one of this States representatives had the courage to get up in Washing. ton to defend the splendid record in his own state.
