 ROUNDUP
By HUGH FULLERTON


 NEW YORK, April 24.-tR-In its enthusiasm for the NCAA purity code" the ivy groups eligibility committee seems to be doing it's best to tear down what the college baseball coaches have been trying to build up.
 In the past couple or Gays a Harvard player has been declared ineligible for accepting money to pay for his room and board while playing in the Northern League and Yale ace barred fer an un- explained but apparently similar reason. It's obvious that you can not develop even good college play CTS in the short spring season in the New England and the Northern League seems to be the best ans wer to the summer participation question. The boys get food and lodging and a chance to play, which they probably wouldn't get if they had to pay their own way And we can't see where it makes an athlete professional to eat. trough some may turn pro in or der to eat.

MIR. William II. Grove, Head of
the Management Division OF ReSlOn
| spoke on the problems OF electric
cooperatives today. He spoke OF the
propaganda Whicn is being handed
out over the radio in which they
continually refer to business man
aged and tax paying electric COM
panieS and brought out the fact that
with the record established by the
500 CO-opS in the United States, 1t
seemed that this certainly should be
recognized as business managed
and tax paying as we'll as the prl-
yate utility business. He spoke OF
the fine work done by the farmers
in Delaware in promoting and
operating their cooperative.
Mr.. Grove spoke OF the shortage
of power over the entire country
! and dwelt especially on the short
age of both power and materials in
/ this state. He spoke of the fact that
at least the Delaware cooperative
had had their equipment on order
long enough so that it looked as il
within the next six months their
problems should be very much eli
minated One thought which he
stressed very prOfusely was that OF
having the farmers be careful Wher
purchasing electrical appliances Sc
that they would purchase standard
brands with good solid guarantees
back of them He advised that they
be a little slow in purchasing appli
ances in order that they might ee
them from the sources who were
able to back their guarantees.
