FRIDAY NIGHT

The Redskins dropped a heart
breaker to Woodsfield in the open
ing game of the semi-finals, the
final score reading 5O-46 after Cald-
we'll had enjoyed the lead all dur
ing the game. Woodsfield rang up a
1876 lead at the first quarter but
the Redskins came back to tally %
points in the second period and lead
1924 at the half. Bill Murrey looped
in 13 points in the game but went
out on fouls just after the second
half began. From this point the Red
skins seemed to lose their scoring
punch and it looked like a matter
of holding on to their lead. Woods
field slowly cut it down in the fad
ing minutes of the game to finish
on top in another thrilling contest
Beverly punched out an easy 46-
&c win over a "cold" Beallsville
team in the other semi final game to
make it Woodsfield VS.. Beverly in
the finals.

completed the first evening by also

was used in the second game.
DESPITE THE ARRAY of various
and brilliant colors worn by players
and cheerleaders, Waterford and
Harriettsville came up with the
same colors for their game, green
and white . Harriettsville made
the change to white jerseys before
the game started i. . Waterford and
Beverly were both inconsiderate of
the fans, officials, and scorers by
wearing jerseys with numbers on
the back only . This is something
that should be curbed in the future,
especially since someone pointed
out that the rules clearly call for
numerals on both sides +. Bealls-
vile held up their game with Bev-
erly to argue this point, but to no
avail .. 1t definitely places the de
fensive players at disadvantage in
guarding their man.
MATAMORAS, last years champs,

Redskins Bow To
BeallsviIle 50-40
In Consolation Tilt

The Woodsfield Indians were
crowned new sectional tournament
champs last Saturday night when
they edged out the Beverly Bruins
40-36 in an exciting overtime game.
The winners took an early lead with
Riley leading the way and held it
until the closing minutes when Bev-
er1y closed the gap with a rush to
send the contest into the only over
time of the tournament. Riley again
saved the day with a bucket and
free throw, and Burkhart added a
free throw for good measure.
In the preliminary, Beallsville
downed Caldwell 50-40 for consola-
ton honors, as Coach Ramsey gave
all his boys chance to get into the
game. Amos Caldwell of Beallsville
racked up q points during the game
for top scoring honors.

Stephens scored Fl points for the
winners.
Caldwell and Matamoras played
the first good game of the tourna-
ment as the Redskins eked out a 43-

The Feminine Touch
 By ALMA D. ROBERTSON, Noank Conn.

Also, much of the advice a gal gets is misleading, if not plain er- roneouS. She is told that the way to land a husband is to keep her. self sweet and clean at all times, be a top-notch houSekecper, a sparkling onversationalist. and be able to cook like Oscar of the Waldorf. There are plenty of love- ly young things who have all these accomplishments who are languish- ing on the shelf, while females like Bella, one of our former neighbors, are able to land not one, but two, of the elusive males. Bella had figure like feather bed tied in the middle, she kept house like Langley Collier, and she had the sweet, lovab1e personality of king cobra. But Bella, like BarkiS, was willing, and this amiable vir- tue proved more efficacious than all the scrubbing, pertaining and reading in the world. Bella had a system. for getting married that while not found in any of the "how to do" articles, proved one hundred per cent effective. She simply got herself pregnant.
 The Woman's Day has a depart ment entitled How to be a Girl, /" and the Ladies Home Journal has just come out with an article en-

don't know about you, but I am getting awfully tired of being told how to do things. Every time you pick up a magazine these days you come face to face with an article on how to make an eleven room ranch house out of a couple of dis carded orange crates, how to whip up lovely hooked rugs out of old mink coats, or how to be the belle of the ball. According to the IT, ticleS-and the adS-all vCu have to do to achieve the latter is to wash your undies, your neck and your teeth in special kinds of cleaners and, even if you have a hairlip and crossed eyes, men will find you irresistible. maintain that anybody who is so stupid or naturally slatternly as to have to be told to keep herself clear isn't going to be interesting to men even if she spends all day lathering and scrubbing before hersdates. But ] am back number, brought up in the days when female was cast adrift on the world at adolescence and had to figure out for herself without printed instructions how to get over with the other sex, how to hold her man once she got him, and how to keep clean, neat, and free from odors.

BaU a,d Hartley Explain
 Anti-UniOn Lau for FGt Fees

The Scripps-Howard papers. which are far from sympathetic to labor, carried a remarkable story the other day. It bore the intri- guing headline: "Make a Law, Then Explain for a Fee"
 It revealed that the champions of the Taft-Hartley anti-labor act have struck pay dirt and are making a "gold mine" out of speeches to employer associations on what their law means. So far, the Scripps-Howard statement has not been challenged.
 AS an example, the paper cited two-day seminar on the act sched- uled by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, at which Hartley is to be the ''paid speaker"

Runaway Buying On Credit Feared
Presidents Apprehension Is Shared by Bankers and Mer- chants; Sound Warnings

Apparently on the theory that half loaf is better than no bread, President Truman signed bill ex- tending curbs on installment buy ing until November 1.
 He had asked Congress for a years extension, and he said he regarded it as unfortunate that it did not grant his request. He de- clared lifting of controls might set off a buying spree for which the nation would pay dearly.
 The Presidents fears are shared by bankers and some merchandi- sers. Carl M. Flora, chairman of the American Bankers Associa- tion'S Consumer Credit Commit tee, insisted that excessive debt should not be made attractive and merchandised in easy payments" " and he called on bankers to resist the return of the days of "a dol lar-down-and-a -a-dollar
 "Indiscreet relaxation" of install ment terms will result in ruin ous situations" was the warning of an organization of furniture dealers. It said those who resort to it are inviting financial disaster and ruinous trade repriSals."
