ROUNDUP OF
CAGE GAMES

NEW YORK, Feb. l, -R-Dr. F
G. (Phog) Allen of Kansas is con-
sidered the dean of American bas-
ketball coaches. The good doctor
has been mapping hoop strategy
since 1908 = AZ years and two world
wars ago.
During that time, Aliens teams
have won GIT games while losing
only 1876 for an amazing average
of TIC.
This is Phog's 34th year at Kansas.
He's won six Missouri Valley titles
and 10 Big Six and Big Seven
championships for the Jayhawks.
But, ironically, Allen does not
own the best winning percentage in
the land. That honor goes to one
of his prize students, Adolph Rupp
of Kentucky.
In q years at the Blue Grass
institution, Rupp's Wildcats have
piled up a 424-78 record for .845
percentage.
Hank Iba of Oklahoma A ~ M
is second to Rupp in winning AT
Maryville Teachers and A q M,
Iba's teams have built up an .8Ol
percentage on 474 victories and 1l0
defeats
Clair Bee, veteran coach at Long
Island University, also is believed
to have won 80 per cent oil ms
games, but no exact records are
available.
All four coaches are holding up
their lifetime averages with good
records this season. Kentucky has
1911, Oklahoma A & M 1871, LlU
1863 and Kansas 11-3.
Twenty-third on the list OF lead
ing coaches in winning percentages
is Jack Friel, Washington State
with a win-loss record OF 4l8-23'
for a GAS in 90 years of coaching
Stats Gill, Oregon State had
GIT mark with his 392-243 reeorf
in "a years.

WILLIAMS
WINNER OF
CARDELL GO

DETROIT, Feb l -lR-Light-
weight Champ Ike Williams, busy
little bee except where title fights
are concerned. tucked a small pure
of 5000 in his wallet today as a
reminder of his one-sided bout with
young Vic Cardell last night
A small turnout of 2,603 fans -
held down by a heavy snoWstorm -
paid a gross gate of only $4,464.39 at
Olympia Stadium to see the champ
batter Cardell almost at will for q
ninth round TKO.
Cardell, his left eye closed and
his right eye cut, was unable to
answer the bell for the ninth in
the scheduled Hereunder
Surprisingly enough, it was the
vanouished Cardell who got the
plaudits of the crowd which saw
him take everything Williams could
throw.
Williams sulking since the Ma
tional Boxing Association threaten
ed Saturday to take his title away
if he doesn't defend it by March
81, took out some Of his wrath on
the luckless Cardell.
The 23-year-old Connecticut
fighter, who had a two pound adj
vantage, was a Al underdog. Bet
ing was 81 that he would not
last five rounds.

ported the situation was better than
the prospects had appeared in mid
1850 1t said the department esti-
mated last July, on the basis of pre-
vailing pension payments, that the
S1,100,00O appropriation for the
biennium would be exhausted and a
deficit Of S33,948 would exist by the
end of the biennium, March 81.
However" said the committee
report, due to increased social Sc
curity payments by the Federal
Government, which decreased the
load on the department of welfare,
the December estimate dropped to
indicate a deficit of $15,619
The department reasoned that by
reducing the assistance payments 8
per cent, the obligation would be
reduced by $17,904 and leave a safe
margin of $2,285 in the fund at the
close of the biennium.
"The January estimate now indi-
Gates that this margin will be in
creased considerably, due to the
termination of an unexpected num-
Der of cases, and it is anticipated
that there will be just over $4,000
available
IF this proves correct, the 8 per
cent would be restored to the March
payments and the individuals re-
ceiving this assistance would sus-
tain the reduction for two months
only, out of the "a.
Payments to individuals range
from a few dollars a month to a
maximum of $50. The average for
December was $500. Consequently,
the average loss per month, to the
individual, was less than SIS.

the present law, the bond has to be

The present law is hardship on

requirement had been placed in

Auditors Statement
Terri orial Auditor Neil Moore,

specifications for Bidding and said
that the 48-hour requirement had
been in the calls for bids since 1943
and perhaps longer.
This statement was supported by
H. L. Faulkner, attorney for the
Empire, who said he had been in
Juneau daringt eve3y legislative
session since 1913. He said he
thought the 49-hour requirement
had been in effect for at least 20
years and that was INSERTED az
the request of past Legislatures.
Moore explained that the calls
for bids on the 1861 Session Laws
had been issued before he was
named Auditor and that so far as
he knew the regular routine pro-
cedures had been followed. He fur
Their explained that the contract
included not only the printing OF
the advance sheets and 500 bound
volumes, but also several other
items included in the bound vol

chairman, Rep Stanley McCutcheon

There was no move to take &C
