DEBATE ON
 TROOPS TO
 EUROPE ON

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23 - tR - The great question troops to- Europe debate appeared to be simmering down to one question: How many?
 And the answer may depend largely on what Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower has to say when he re- turns at the end of the month from a pulse-feeling tour of European capitals.
 In the meantime, Senator Taft (R-Ohio) threatened to carry to the Senate floor his fight to limit the number of American troops in the European defense line
 Taft, who heads the Republican Policy Committee, said yesterday that he's willing to send some troops in the European defense line.
 Taft. who heads the Republican Policy Committee, said yesterday that he's willing to send some troops but he thinks this nation should depend for security on absolute control of the sea and the air"
 Today he told reporters if the Foreign Relations Committee fails to put a foot soldier limitation in proposed new legislation, he will fight to amend the measure in the Senate itself
 T don't think anyone will know until General Eisenhower makes his report just what the limitation should be or whether it should be made in the form of a ceiling on the number of divisions or in the form of a percentage limit on the American contribution" Taft said.

Redskins Take 48-47
Overtime Thriller
From ByesviIIe Quint

Al ChriStopher's free throw in
the final seconds of an over
time period gave Caldwell a
thrilling 48-47 win over Byes-
vile in a non-league game last
Friday night on the Falcons
floor. The regulation game
ended at 45-all, but in the over
time Jerry Palmer racked up a
fielder for Byesville followed
by a similar goal by BIZ Chris
topher to again knot the count
at 47-47 and set the stage for
the game-winning free throw.
The Redskins roared into a
I'LL lead at the first quarter,
were ahead only one point at
the half, then moved ahead 39-
81 to enter the last period. A
momentary lapse in the final
quarter, coupled by a Byesville
squirt tied up the game and sent
it into overtime.

though they outscored their op-

in this frame, trailing 1886 to

The fourth quarter was a
dilly, Harriettsville regaining

than a minute to go, Marion
Powell connected for a set shot
just outside the foul circle. This

maintain possession of the ball.

Junior High Teams

SarahSville and Batesville

the semi-finals of the 7th and

Belle Valley, paced by Ernest
Varhola with IA points, took a
1873 lead on Sarahsville at the
first quarter and looked like a
sure cinch to win easily. Sar-

ever, and after holding the Rid

Stottsberry tailed six points in

Summerfield and Batesville
staged a ding-dong battle before
the Beavers took a 22-2l victory
in an overtime. The regulation
period ended 1918, but Dale
Starr registered four points in

invincible Don Gehrmann. Turing

reeled off his 35th consecutive
mile triumph while out-distanc-
ing that flying FBI man by 10
yards with a 4:11.5 performance
tonight before the K. of c. track
meets 1867 crowd at the Bos-
ton Garden.
Gehrmann took an early lead,
then tempted Wilt into taking
over, and launched his closing
drive with a half-lap to go. Alf
Holmberg, Tennessee's transfer
student from Sweden, and Johnny
Twomey of the Illinois A. c., the
only other starters, never were
serious contenders.
Gehrmann, last beaten in the
1948 Olympic 1500-meter final,
gained a seven-yard triumph over
Wilt in 4:12.4 last night at Phila-
delphia.
While making his Boston track
debut, the bespectacled Milwau-
kee insurance man forged to the
front after the first lap and, after
three more turns about the 11-lap
track, made way for the over-eager
Wilt. But the latter's hopes were
dashed as soon as Gehrmann
turned on his terrific power.
Holmberg dropped back grada-
ally after leading his three rivals
on the first lap and both he and
Twomey plodded about 20 yards
in the rear as Wilt and Gehrmann
did their jockeying.
