The old saying that everything
has a little good in it Cor words to
that effect, pertains also to Off
ciating at basketball games. Too
much is said about the poor jobs
some incompetent referees do
while nobody compliments good
job of such. I'd like to remedy
that by congratulating the Off
cials at the P. C.-Bucyrus, P. c.
Lakeside, P. C.-Ashland, and P. c.
Bellevue games on a job well
done.
Area fans will really be getting
their moneys worth the year
when they travel to the annual
post-season tournament at Sandus-
ky in March Class A schools, for
the most part, in this area have
come up with some excellent
teams this year. One of the most
improved teams over the last few
years is the fast-breaking Sandus-
ky st. Mary's team. Also expected
to give plenty of trouble are Tiff
fin Calvert with big Bill Rohrbach
and a burly Fremont Ross five.
Bellevue will probably be pre-tour-
ney favorites and the dark horse
could be either Sandusky, Tiffin
Columbian, or Norwalk with Will
lard and Port Clinton rounding out
the card. It's fairly good bet that
Bellevue will eventually battle it
out with Ashland, featuring classy
Ken Sidle, in the finals of the To-
ledo Regionals; however, don't bet
too much on it.
In the finals of the boys Intra-
murals at school, the Globetrotters
defeated the Puffers in a game
marked by poor sportsmanship.
Both teams are loaded with good
basketball talent and are capable
of playing wonderful brand OF
basketball when so desired. It's q
shame it couldn't have turned out
that way. The Puffers personnel
is made up of Denny Behrman
Louie Ball, Bob Woods, Rickey
Lenhart, Ken McAtee, and AL Jen
sen, while the Globetrotters sport
such players as Louie Laffey, Boz
Carter, Berny Tibbs, Joe McAtee
and Frank Brough.
Coach Lukac decided that ther,
is ample time left for more intra
murals, so he has made arrange
ments for starting the tournamen
over again with the same team
participating. 1t is hoped that tn
Puffers and GlobetrotterS will ge
together and play a better gam

Verdict Near
ION Italian

By WEBB MCKINLEY

ROME L8-The divided Senate
neared a verdict today on the pro-
Western center government of Pre-
mier Mario Scelba, Italy's fourth
government in seven months.
A vote Of confidence-or no con-
fidence-is expected tonight after
a week Of rough debate.
Beset on the left by Communist
strikes and harassed on the right
by the unbending Monarehist and
Fascist opposition, Scelba never
theless may win approval.
On paper his three parues-the
Christian Democrats, Liberals and
Social Democrats-have a margin
Of 10 or II over the extremists
among the 243 senator's.
There may, however, be last
minute deviations from discipline
among the allied parties. Scelba,
tough, Sicilian born former inte-
rior minister, is respected, but
does not have the personal popu-
larity of some of his predecessors.
Defeat would force him to re-
sign.
II Scelba's coalition holds to-
gether In the Senate, be must then
turn to the equally combative
Chamber of Deputies for another
confidence vote.
The center margin is proportion
ately even thinner there, amount
ing to about Is in the 500 man
chamber.
The two stamps Of approval are
needed before Scelba, who took
office Feb. 10. can pitch in earn
esdy on his governmental pro.
gram:
/. Quick ratification Of the six
nation European Defense Commu-
nifty Treaty.
2. Domestic tax and economic
