scored a pair of double
triumphs in games played Fri
day and Saturday evenings.

ZeeBees scored their second
straight triumph over the Blue
Devils, 41-26, after watching
the reserves triumph, 40-22.
Back on their home hardwood
Saturday evening, the Stanton
men had even less trouble in re-
polling the invading Huntley
basketeers, 1923. In the pre-
liminary fray the Zion-Benton
JayVees romped to their ninth
straight victory in their tenth
and eleventh encounters,
crushing the visiting reserves,
55-15.

Fritz Ridenour, big sopho-
more pivot ace, again was the
scoring star with IA points a.
gainst Warren and 10 points
against Huntley to boost his
season total to 226 points in
16 games. Sharing the lime
light in both games was rangy
Sidney Christophersen, who
chucked in II points against
the Blue Devils and 10 TALES
against Huntley. Jack Dada
and Norm DeLoof retaliated
for Warren seven points each,
while Norm Huges was top
pointsman for the Huntley

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-lR-- Two generals who weren't there = Dwight D. Eisenhower and Doug las Macarthur figured prom inently in presidential speculation as the Republican National Con- mittee met today to issue a formal call for the partys June nominat- ing convention in Philadelphia.

 Several national committee mem bers, representing the regular party organization, made it plain in in- formal discussions with their col leagues that they want Eisenhow- CTS views on national and world issues in detail before they would be willing to consider him as a candidate.
