Butter Fats Going Into Luxury" Items

The question of butter-Which has received increasing attention here the past few WeekS-alSO has been calling forth plenty of dis cusSion in the States, where there has been even more of a shortage and butter has become the major topic of discussion," according to editorial comment.
 While the government in gen. eral, and OPA in particular, has been blamed for the butter short age, OPA officials point out that the cause is largely due to the fact that dairymen are diverting much of their available supplies of but terfats to higher paying outlets such as cheese and ice cream man. ufacturers.
 An absence of ceiling prices on cream, due to Department of Az riculture rulings, has put makers of So-called luxury items such as ice cream, whose purchases of cream for these purposes are not price controlled, in a more favor able buying position. This in turn puts the butter makers in an un- favorable position on the open cream market.
 Allocation of available cream on an equitable basis to all users or ceiling price on all sales of cream would greatly ease the present shortage, it is felt. Gov ernment officials are giving the entire dairy products problem careful consideration and working toward it's solution.

Eastern High Quintet
IsCapab|e, Despite
Lack Of Height
By George Huber

Bobby Hart was one Of those
shor., shifty little basket ball play
ers at Eastern High some IL years
ago. Now he's coaching the game
at Eastern. It's only a coincidence,
though, that three of what may be
his starting five players are short,
shifty little boys.
Just because I'm not the tallest
man in the business doesn't mean /
don't like those tall boys" he re-
marks. II certainly do want height
when can find it, In Q basket ball
player. know what it is for those
little guys to beat themselves all
to pieces jumping around under a
basket against those big boys. You
have to play twice as much and
twice as hard to beat them.
But what can you do when there
Just aren't any tall boys? We take
what we can find and we'll make
them play twice as hard. And
maybe they'll beat the tall boys. /"
Bobby's original tournout of 50
candidates Is down to 30n0N. 4de1gh-
IL divided into hall on the first
squad and the other half In q
junior group being readied for next
season. As q starter, there's An
gelo Karadimos from last years
team. Angelo is taller than mid
get, but that's about all. He's fast
and smooth, though, and has q lot
Of fight. He also hits the hoop
with q fair percentage Of his shots.
AL Guiffreda and Ken Burns are
two other boys who played a bit Of
basket ball at Eastern last year,
and they also are shorties. They're
both fair shots, however, particular
ly Burns.
Tallest boy from last years squad
is 6-foot-2 Wendell Gilroy. His job
is to work on the pivot and feed the
ball to the little boys speedily fly
ing around him in all directions.
They're fast and they're smooth
and sharp with their cutting and
other teams in the league will have
to step to keep up with them.
In q practice scripmage yester-
day against Woodward School, the
Ramblers showed they don't need
more than q seconds freedom to
get set fora pot shot Anyone who
lets up even nomentarily against

Southwest Conference Loses

By Austin BeImeor

dist, the "passingest" team Of 1945,
with 1853 attempts, which failed to
finish among the leaders this year.
In fact, the Is leaders included
only one team this year from the
Southwest Conference. That was
Texas, which finished third behind
Nevada and Georgia in the bureau
rankings, based on the average yard
age gained by passes rather than
the number or percentage Of COM
pletions.
Georgia, in addition to completing
the most passes and the most touch
down passes, also had more passes
thrown against it than any other
team While the Bulldogs were
completing 1l2 of 2o6 tosses, their 10
opponents were hurting 2l7 forwards,
completing "a of them.
Thus those who sat in the stands
when Georgia was on the field saw
thrown an average of more than A
passes per game.
Nevada made good on 68 Of its
1855 forwards for total of 1859
yards and 10 touchdowns in eight
games, while Georgia's average for
10 games was 1877 yards.
Pennsylvania attempted 125 passes,
completing SO of them for per-
centage of $50 and a total of 855
yards, but was not among the leaders
on the basis of aerial gains.
Irish Best of Offense, Defense.
Notre Dame, the country's No. I
team, led the Nation in combined
offense and also compiled the best
defensive records to become the first
team in history to take top honors
in both departments.
The Fighting Irish rolled up 3.061
yards on the ground in nine games
to lead the list in rushing and COW
cred oil yards on passes fQrA total
of 3,s72 and q combined avsfage Of
Alb yards per game
On the defensive side, Notre Dame
held its nine opponents to an aver
age Of 1417 yards per game by both
rushing and passing.
Oklahoma completed the season
with the best defensive record
against running plays, holding 10.
opponents to an average Of So yards
per game on the ground.
Holy Cross had the best defensive
record against passes for the second
straight year with an average yield
of 53.7 yards per game The only
repeater among the 1945 leaders,
Holy Cross held nine opponents to-

Friday 1t will be host to Randolph
Macon, and Saturday 1t travels to
Chestertown. Md, for q duel with
the hot Shoremen. A couple Of wins
would give the Brooklanders firmer
footing In league play.
George Laubacher's scintillating
work at center, despite the loss Of a
tooth and an injured knee, drew
Zola's praise. The gangling young
ster had only a year of high school
experience and still is lost" in cer-
tain situations. but zola believes
he'll be one Of the towns top tap

be the teams most accurate marks
man. Don Durkin should get his
share OF points. in addition to di-
recting the attack, and in Jack
Walsh the team has an AL defen-
sive man.
Zola is pleased particularly by
the spirit Of his players. The Cardi-
mails don't have to win many games

For the first time In history, the
aerial-minded Southwest Confer
ence has failed to produce the Ma
tion's "passingest" college football
team.
That distinction belonged today to
Oklahoma A. and NJ, which hurled
252 forward passes during the 1916
season, more than any other col
legiate eleven.
Statistics released by the Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic Bureau
also disclosed that Nevada compiled
the best yardage average on passes,
that Pennsylvania's passers were
the most accurate and that the fans
who saw the most passing were
those who followed the all-victorious
Georgia Bulldogs.
The bureaus figures included
these passing "firsts" for 1946:
Highest average yardage per game

The whacky weekly results prob
ably should rate as the prize oddl.
ties of the regular 1916 football
campaign, but there were enough
screwy happenings on the field te
make even some Of the beater
coaches smile.
For instance there was the day
Washington and Lee and West Vir-
ginia battled it out in a sea OF mud
at Charleston; w. Va. The slippery
ball was fumbled as is usual on such
q day and the teams shifted back
and forth from offense to defense
Things became even more compli-
Gated when West Virginia recovered
q Washington and Lee tumble on
the final play of the first quarter
and the ball was moved to the op-
posite end of the field as the teams
changed sides.
The players, coated in mud, made
the long trek and =, West Virginia
went into huddle. As the West
Virginia quarterback snapped out
'splay 95-X" a lone player pulled
quickly out of the group and sheep
ishly lined up with the other team.
It was Washington and Lees Bill
Chipley, an All-Southern Confer
ence end, who didn't know he was
with the wrong team until "95-X"
was called "a play he never
heard of.
Snow Changes End Zones.
The elements had q hand, too, in
q couple of unusual occurrences out
in the West. The Utah-Colorado A.
and M. game at Fort Collins, Colo.,
was delayed by a storm. The
periods were cut and the snow,
cleared from the field, was piled in
the end zones So when a team
reached the 1O-yard line, the ball
was moved back to the 20-yard line,
the 10-yard line became the goal
and the space between the 10 and
the regular goal line was the end
zone.
1t wasn't showing, but 1t was a
blustery cold day when Washington
and California hooked up in a Pa
cific Coast Conference contest.
Gerry Austin, Washingtons third
string quarterback didn't figure he
would see any action in an impor-
tant game like that so he put on an
extra set of long underwear to
make himself more comfortable on
the bench.
But Washington's first two quar-
terbacks got hurt and Austin was
sent into the game. He got hot in
more ways than one and reeled oil
two touchdowns. The extra set OF
longies was discarded at the end
Of the half.
For some unknown reason. the
little dogs that seemed to make q
playground of football fields in 1945
weren't much in evidence during
the past season, but off1cials seem
to have taken their place in getting
the fans attention.
In the Rice-Texas A. & M. game,
Referee Abb Curtis blew his whistle.
but in the din none Of the players
