COUNTY BASKET BALL
TOURNAMENT TO BE
HELD THIS WEEK END
The Cubs have beaten every high
schocjd team in this county, except

have1 a good chance to win the tourn-

etc eiames to be played at the tourn-
ament: Friday
2 p. m. Jean vs. Olney,

South Bend game vs. winner of Gra-
ham-Rural champion game.
7 p. m. Finals.
The Olney Cubs decisively defeat-
ed the South Bend basket ball squad
in a one sided contest. The game
was Olney’s from the first. Olney’s
forwards, Russell and Hart, played
good games and were able to ring
them almost at will. Gilmore and
Captain Campbell at guards and
Perkins at center played their us-
ual consistent game.
Friday night the Cubs defeated
Graham 23-20. In the first half,
Olney took a good lead, but were
not able to ring as many in the sec-
ond half as their opponents.

It was decided to postpone action
regarding the Holland’s magazine
subscription drive proposition which
was submitted recently. In the two
month’s contest for the largest at-
tendance of mothers at.-4Jie meet-

Miss Smith’s in number of attend-
ance, but the $10 prize was awarded
to Miss Hale’s room on the per-
centage basis, her room having the
smaller enrollment. A great deal of
interest has been manifest in this

progress during the next two

FEWER ACCIDENTS IN THE
STEEL BUSINESS
There is a gratifying reduction of
accidents in the steel business, the
rate of accidents per million hours
of exposure having falleb in twen-
ty years from 69.2 to 29.9. In a
large group of plants the frequency
has fallen to 6.8 in plants where
fourteen years ago it was 60.3. This
indicates that a real effort is being
made to make the steel business saf-
er.
