With titles decided in all of the
conferences, except the Pacific
Coast where playoff is neces-
sary, collegiate basket ball has
reached the national championship
tourney stage. Tops among these
are the National Collegiate Athletic
Association and national invita-
tional events with the winners of
Western and Eastern sections meet
ing for the so-called crowns.
While Army was conquering Navy,
50-48, at Annapolis In thriller
last Saturday to be acclaimed the
unof1cial Eastern champion, Iowa
were beating Illinois, 43-37, to be-
come the Big Ten ruler and the
Midwest's outstanding quint, Utah
was clinching Big Seven honors
with an 80 record in the loop, Iowa
State was licking Kansas to gain
the Big Six title, Kentucky was
trimming Tennessee, 1895, to win
the Southeastern tourney, and in
the Northern division OF the Pacific
Coast Conference Washington State
and Oregon U. were going into a
deadlock with II wins in 16 circuit
games. They plan a three-game
playoff this week and the victor
will represent the coast in the
NCAA affair as UCLA, Southern
half winner, has been declared out.
A. u. Keeps Capital in Game.
American U. kept Washington on
the map by sweeping its three
games to take the Mason-Dixon
Conference title for Is wins against
a single loss and may get a national
tourney bid If it can whip Long
Island U. in game at Uline's
Wednesday night. Gallaudet bowed
in the first round of the Mason
Dixon to finish TO and Army beat
Maryland for the Terps to wind
up 2-13.
When Army edged out Navy it
hung up season record of IA
triumphs in Is games, losing only to
Pennsylvania, Eastern Intercollegi-
ate League champ, and made its
wins 80 in its last 81 tits. However,
there are quite a few quints with
better marks, and Iowa, beaten only
by Illinois, 43-42, in 18 games, got
its revenge, and having played the
toughest kind of opposition all sea-
son, could we'll be ranked No. in
the country.

United Nations Track
Meet Proposed by
Penn Director
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Mar. 5.-Track and
field will have a revival equal to or
exceeding the golden era Of 1920 to
1886 when peace comes, says H.
Jamison Swarts, Penn director of
athletics, manager Of the Penn Re-
lays and referee Of the 1945 IC-4A
indoor games.
AS a step toward promoting the
revival, Swarts urges that athletic
authorities begin now to plan for a
United Nations Olympics to be held
soon after the war and fill in the
current track void with such events
as the present Haegg-Lidman visit
to the United States.
Gunder Haegg, one-time holder of
eight world records, finished last in
the Louis Zamperini Invitation Mile
at Madison Square Garden Satur-
day night but his effort brought
nothing but cheers from the 13,472
paying spectators.
Haegg Is Pacesetter.
On shore only so hours after a
23-day journey from London; Haegg
made his debut on boards by setting
the pace for the first three-quarters
OF a mile. Then lack of condition
ing began to tell and he finished 80
yards behind the leaders in 4::3l.
Jim Rafferty,, winner of all six Of
his mile starts this winter, tri-
umphed in 4:16.4.
Haakan Lidman, fourth for
Sweden in the 1896 Olympic high
hurdles, Jared better. He won the
60-yard high barrier exhibition and
wound up third in the 50-yard COM
petition.
Both visitors swing into action
this week end, with Haegg racing
the same four opponents In the
Columbian Mile of the Knights of
Columbus games, won year ago by
the Rev. Gil Dodds in the then
world record time of 4:07.3, and
Lidman competing in the invita-
tional hurdles.
Stress International Tests.
'It is international competition
such as this that provides a great
incentive for athletes of all nations"
said Swarts. 1T is the goal toward
which they work for years, almost
from their graded school days. The
many tryouts held prior to the 1886
Olympic games are an indication of
the Importance every athlete in the
country attaches to such interna-
tional events"
Army retained it's IC-4A indoor
title in the supporting events to
the Haegg-Lidman unveiling. The
Cadets piled up 1871 points, wiping
out the previous high of 48 set by
New York University in 1943. Navy
also surpassed the N. Y. U. total
with 55h.
The service schools annexed all
individual titles except the high
jump and 2-mile run, with Army
scoring in every event to pile up its
huge aggregate.

Commissioner Office
with Wide Powers
|0kayed by Big Six
By the Associated Press.


KANSAS CITY, Mar. 5.-Crea-
ton of an Office of commissioner
Of athletics for the Big Six has been
approved by directors of the con-
ference and will be submitted for
approval of faculty representatives
at their May meeting.
The commissioner would have
broad executive powers in carrying
on the business of the conference,
M. F. Ahearn, secretary of the
Directors Association, said.
A full-time commissioner would
be hired and his salary and other
expenses OF the Office would be paid
by a 2 per cent assessment against
football receipts at the member
schools.
Business of the conference now
is carried on by the directors and
faculty representatives with the aid
of the commissioner of officials,
Reaves Peters, coach at Kansas
City's Northeast High School.
The commissioner under the pro-
posed plan would prepare sched-
ules, direct and assign officials, in
vestigate any alleged irregularities
at the request of faculty represen-
tatives, direct conference publicity,
direct all conference meets and rep
resent the Big Six in all inter-
conference matters.
Another proposal submitted with
the commissioner plan would allow
Big Six football teams to accept
one pcstseason game and half the
net proceeds would be paid to the
conference. If a surplus became
available in the treasury the 2 per
cent assessment of gridiron receipts
could be waived.
Still another tentative plan was
for postseason all-star football
game between a picked team from
the Big Six and an all-star team
from another conference.
Some of the provisions of the
plan could not be invoked until
after the war, Ahearn said, but he
added that he thought the commits
sioner idea a progressive one.
There was little If any opposition
to the proposal in the directors
meeting Saturday, according to
Ahearn.

~BABY. Q

Twenty or thirty years ago
babies were restricted to a milk.
i.c. q LIQUID diet, until they were
about year old, sometimes
longer. They became so accus-
toned to drinking all of their food
that it was difficult to teach them
to eat foods of a more solid con-
sistcncy.
Milk is an important food, in
fact ia the mainstay Of the diet Tor
babies and growing children. Dur
ing the first few weeks milk,
orange Juice and some form OF
vitanin d (cod liver oil or vioste-
rely supply all of the needs, but
other foods are necessary by the
time the baby is four or five
months old.
Special baby cereals, precooked
ard ready to serve merely by ad-
dition Of milk, supply vitamins
particularly, also some additional
protein and some minerals. These
cereals are fortified to supplement
the food values Of milk.
Vegetables supply vitamins par
ticularly, as do fruits. That is why
strained baby foods are given be-
fore the end of the first half year.
Evidences Of vitamin and mineral
deficiencies are no longer common,
as they once were.
The other important reason
these especially prepared baby
foods are started during the first
three to four months is to teach
babies to eat variety Of foods, OF
different texture, consistency and
flavor, so that they win not be.
come addicted to milk and the so.
called liquid habit. If your child
prefers to drink milk and does not
seem to want to eat other foods,
give him the others first while he
Is hungry. and withhold the mill
until the end Of the meal.

Make Dishwashing Easi

Make Dishwashing Easier:
Stunt fishy odors on dishes by
washing them in soapy water to
which some vinegar has been
added. Rinse dishes in hot vine
gar water, also.
2 Hot. soapy water is indicated
for greasy dishes; cold water for
egg. starchy and milky dishes.
Scrape dishes before starting TO
wash and have a strainer in the
sink to collect all leftovers. It's
much easier than scooping them
up9 out of the water.
Stack dishes csrefully before
washing. 1t won't seem like you
have so many. and there's less
chance of their breaking.
China can be allowed to dry by
itself on a dish rack, but glasses,
silver and cutlery should be

Make sure you have plenty of
good absorbent dish towels
handy. Use paper toweling for
