''' Brigham Young university's Darnstronung cougars were on their way home today after tak ing it on the chin in three out of four of their eastern games. The Cougars should arrive in Provo Monday. The B. Y. U. boys closed their tour in Chicago . Friday night by bowing to Loyola university by a 50-44 score. They opened by dump ing Canisius College in Buffalo 50-49 and then dropped a tough 43-40 game to Long Island U. in Madson Square Garden. Then in Philadelphia, Temple university came from behind to nip the Cougars Cou-gars 35-31. The Cougars put up a great fight in the first half of the tattle with Loyola, but after four minutes min-utes of the second half elapsed, they dropped behind and were never able to close the gap. The score was tied 11 times in tTTe first half and the halftime score was 24-24. The Cougars went into their biggest lead of the game . just as the second half opened as Brady Walker caged three foul pitches and Cy Thompson sank a field goal. Loyola soon tied the score at 34 all and from there on were never headed. Brady Walker, six foot seven inch forward led the scorers with 21 points, 15 of which came in the second half. It was Walker's consistent scoring in the final half that kept the Cougars in the ball game. Stanton at forward and Carmen at center led the Loyola attack with 16 and 10 points respectively. re-spectively. , Captain Floyd Giles, "dependable guard, again left the contest via the foul route, which did the Cougars no little harm. Bob Orr, senior guard, played his last game for B. Y. U. against the Loyola boys. Orr is scheduled for induction into the army on January 5, just after the holidays. He will be hard for Coach Floyd Millet to replace as the Cougars do not have any experienced guards on hand. The Cougars will rest over the holidays before starting training next quarter to defend their state champioiship and try to gain the right to represent the Western Division in the conference playoffs in Salt Lake City. The Cougars have never failed to look good, even in defeat, and as soon as Millet gets his freshmen fresh-men and sophomorfc polished up a bit the B. Y. U. boys are going to be hard to beat. With the loss of Orr, Walker, Giles, and Rex will be the only veterans on the squad. 144,000 Eggs; All Scrambled BATTLE CREEK, Mich., Dec. 19 (U P) There may have been bet ter omelets, but there have been few larger than that whipped up yesterday by Charles Barnes, Chicago truck driver. Barnes was driving a large trailer-truck carrying $4,800 worth of eggs when the vehicle skidded on the icy pavement. The truck crashed into a tree, spilling to the pround 400 cases containing 144,-000 144,-000 eggs. State Police Sergt. Clarence B. Miller observed that there was not a whole egg left.

Y. high team Friday night in the Women's gym to roll up a convincing 36-15 victory vic-tory over the hapless Wildcats. The usually impregnable "Y" high defense crumbled like the Maginot line as the fast-breaking Cubs flipped the ball with breath-taking speed and accuracy around, under and over the Wildcat Wild-cat defenders. The South club showed one of the best balanced offensive attacks seen this year as they consistently found the range. Their ball-hawking guards were constantly winding up on the receiving re-ceiving end of the Wildcat passes and muddling up the Y high plays. The usually dependable Wildcat scorers were rushed so that they couldn't get a set shot at the hoop except from way out, and the Wildcats were woefully off when it came to hitting the hoop. South started off fast and continued con-tinued to hold that pace through out the game. They moved to a 10-5 margin in the first quarter and then rolled up eight more points in the second canto while holding the Wildcats to a single field goal. Both teams doubled their score in the second half, but the best the "Y" could do was score four points against the j South reserves while holding them to ten. Clair Empey, former Provo 'high boy, and Dick North, diminutive forward led the assault on the Wildcat hoop with 10 and 11 points respectively. Both of these boys played a vat floor game as did Storey aiv Woolf, rangy guards. Jim Oldroyd again led the Wild cat attack with seven points. Old royd was woefully off on his shots as was the entire team. Doug Jen kins turned in a great floor game as well as bucketing five points. Two of Jenkins field goals connected con-nected from way out. Bob Perry also played a good floor game. Box score: SOUTH (36 G. T. F. P.

Basketball Team BY ROBERT MELLACE NEA Service Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 18 In nine years at Long Island university, Clair F. Bee has compiled the almost al-most unbelievable basketball record rec-ord of 230 games won out of 247 played, and this while taking on all-comers from all sections, that is, except the New York metropolitan metro-politan area, his own backyard. Clair Bee's basketball teams have appeared in Puerto Rico, Chicago, New Orleans and Kriox-ville. Kriox-ville. Annually in Madison Square Garden, the Blackbirds tackle court giants. Eligibility Requirements This winter, on the Eighth Avenue floor alone, they engage Brigham Young, Southern California. Cali-fornia. Creighton, the North Carolina Caro-lina Pre-Flighters, another service serv-ice team to be selected. West Texas State, Duquesne, Canisius and Toledo. Booking outfits capable of drawing rich Garden gates. Promoter Pro-moter Ned Irish frankly tells you that he employs Long Island U. as a "policeman." The Blackbirds will square off against any array. Yet athletic directors and book ers of schedules for such New York schools as Columbia, Ford- ham, City College, New York U., and Brooklyn College give Long Island U. the cold shoulder. Off the record, athletic officials of these institutions tell you that eligibility requirements at L. I. U are a bit more flexible than they The subject of the still undecided unde-cided Utah state high school bas ketball tournament came to the fore again Saturday with issuance issu-ance of a bulletin by Kenneth E. Weight of Provo and D. R, Mitchell Mitch-ell of Lehi, president and secretary secre-tary of the Utah High School Athletic Ath-letic association, setting forth facts for consideration in connection connec-tion with the proposed tournament. Region officials, school boards, superintendents of schools and principals throughout the state will receive a copy of this bulletin bulle-tin and they will decide by regions as to whether they are in favor of the proposed tournament. The bulletin takes up four major problems and the answers to them that the Utah association has been able to gather. They are: (1) The accommodations available for teams in Salt Lake City if the tournament was held there. (2) The problem of transportation transporta-tion and the latest available information infor-mation about it. (3) What other states are doing. (4) The attitude of the army, navy, and air corps with reference to interscholastic games and tournaments. tour-naments. The hotel reservations in Salt Lake City will very likely be available if all the hotels can do the same as the Hotel Temple Square, whose Manager C. L. West reacted favorably to the idea of team reservations. Gasoline Situation In a letter received from H. V. Porter, secretary of the state rationing ra-tioning board about gas and transportation trans-portation Difficulties, it is stated that although the government has made no Specific mention of approval ap-proval of the plan to give coaches and other members of an athletic department a "B" rationing card, they also did not make an specific spe-cific disapprovals of the plan and the inference was that the problem prob-lem was pretty much left to the discretion of state or regional rationing ra-tioning boards. The bulletin includes a copy , of1 a news dispatch of December 5, stating John Van Nuys, athletic director of Wittenberg college in Ohio obtained a promise from John R. Richards, chief of the OPA gasoline rationing branch at Washington, that members of athletic ath-letic departments throughout the country woild receive "B" ration books. Out of a total of 31 states contacted con-tacted about their plans in respect to tournaments, 22 answered in the affirmative, eight were-, still undecided, and only one definitely definite-ly will not have a tournament, and that state is Nevada, where distances dist-ances to travel would be far greater than in Utah. Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Montana, and Wyoming will definitely go ahead as usual. Idaho will have three regional meets. The army and navy physical, education departments all seem very much in favor of any program pro-gram that will furnish physical fitness for the high school boys. A quotation from President Roosevelt states "I therefore call for the united efforts of government-federal, state, and local of business and industry, of the medical profession, of the schools, and of the churches; in short of all citizens for the establishment of total physical and moral fitness." are at some other institutions, and let it go at that. Neighbors Were Hit Hard Long Island university is no mass of masonry hidden beneath ivy. When Bee arrived in Flat-bush Flat-bush from Rider College, L. I. U.'s team was an infant of four years running, with such squads as those of : Fordham, Manhattan and St. John's doing most of the chasing. Bee points to sound thrashings administered his neighbors shortly short-ly after his arrival lets you figure fig-ure out why they have no truck with I I. U. now.

A. t Beau Jack J. Beau Jack Puts Kayo On Larkin By JACK CUDDV United Press Staff Corresondent NEW YORK, Dec. 19' (U.R) Beau Jack, a primitive, brown-skinned brown-skinned basher from Georgia, smashed stream-lined tippy Larkin Lar-kin on the chin with a wild right uppercut Friday night at Madison Madi-son Square Garden to win a knockout victory in the third round and partial recognition as lightweight champion of the world. This brown-lightning blow that dish-ragged Larkin to the canvas before 18,817 fans made the ox-bootblack ox-bootblack of Augusta, Ga., king of the 135-pounders in the eyes of the New York and New Jersey Jer-sey Boxing commissions, giving him the title vacated recently by Sammy Angott of Washington, Pa., who retired because of bad hands. Knock-down in First This bout, which was scheduled sched-uled for 15 rounds and which attracted a respectable gate of $58,468, ended more quickly than was expected, although the ultimate ulti-mate outcome was in little doubt after Beau Jack floored Larkin for a one-count in the first minute min-ute of the first round. Trojans Too Good For Pre-f light Team; 21-13 LOS ANGELES, Deo. 19 (U.R) Completely outplaying their foes, the University of Southern California Cali-fornia Trojans wound up their football season today with a solid 21-13 trouncing over the St. Mary's Navy Pre-flight team. The crowd of 9,000 was the smallest before which any Trojan Tro-jan team had ever played in the Memorial coliseum. -sv- As another season ' gets under way, Bee's basketball fortunes appear to be waning. This winter's win-ter's squad seems to be far below par. Certainly it doesn't compare with the combinations of 1935-36 and '38-39. Those powerhouses ran victory streaks to 49 and, 35 games, respectively. ' But the diminutive and busy Bee, ex-soldier, football player, coach and barnstorming baseball player, currently a teacher of physical education and man of many functions, can be depended upon to come up with something out of the ordinary. u Utah Stake Opens r.Klen Basketball Play December 23 M Men basketball will begin in Utah L.

After a nip and tuck first half that saw both teams in the lead several times, Jordan took over and rolled up their slim margin of victory. Jordan led at the first quarter by a six to two score, but the Springville boys came back to go ahead 13-11 at the half. From that point, Jordan Jor-dan took command and went on to win. SHIRTS!

The Provo boys grabbed an 8-3 lead in the first quarter and making mak-ing effective use of long shots ran the score to 18-9 at the half. The Bulldogs came back strong in the third canto to run the score to 24-16 and then the Granite Gran-ite cagers came out of the doldrums. Stymied for the first three-quarters three-quarters by the alert ball-rustling and defensive tactics of the Provo Pro-vo team, the Farmers came back with a rush in the final period, counting 10 points to the Bulldogs Bull-dogs four, but they couldn't catch the Provo team.
