MEDFORDv&TRIBUNE iwiiiir Still Pied Pipers Against Field In 3rd Day or NAIB Tournament Kansas City (U.R) Hamline university and the seven teams seeded behind it moved into the third day's play Wednesday in a lineup to delight players in the 14th annual NAIB basket ball tournament. The top teams were so paired two of them were matched in a round-of-16 games in the week long grind that holds a U. S. Olympic basketball potential for the champion. Utah State started fast in the tournament , defeating Clarion Pa. Teachers in a first round game, 85-68. Businesslike The Aggies from Logan, mak ing their first appearance in the NAIB cage marathon, turned back Clarion, also a newcomer. In business-like style. They led at halftime, 49-34. It still appeared to be Ham line's defending champion Pied Pipers of St. Paul, Minn., against the field. The Pipers were matched against Montana State at 6 p. m. They trimmed Tampa in the first round 90 to 65. But good as they are, the Pipers saw the show stolen from them briefly, at least, when second-seeded Eastern Illinois ran up 113 record-tying points in Tuesday's feature, a 113 to 78 victory over Huron State of South Dakota. Portland Among Seeded Huron fell, but not without a fight. Gene Smith scored 35 points for the losers, high for the 1952 tourney. Hamline, Murray State, Milli kin university, Portland, and Southwest Missouri are among the seeded eight who won first round games Monday. Tuesday, Eastern Illinois, Lawrence Tech and Southwest Texas State joined them as seeded winners.

(U.R) Port land and Whitworth return to action Wednesday in the Na tional Association of Intercolle giate basketball tournament here in second-round games. Whitworth was pitted against James Millikin university at 11 a. m. and Portland was sched uled to meet Memphis State at 2 p. m. Long Hours Spent As Night Watchman Credited for Song Pittsburgh (U.R) Churchill Kohlman, a Negro cleaning plant night watchman who composed one of the current hit songs, credits the long hours he has spent patroling his lonely rounds for the inspiration. Kohlman said he planned to continue in his job even though his song "Cry," is near the sales top. Sixteen record companies have waxed the song and one company alone has sold almost a million copies. 'All my life I've been chasing the songwriter's rainbow, but I didn't dream it would be like this," Kohlman said. He sent more than 200 of the songs that came to him in the night to publishers without a single acceptance. In many cases the envelopes weren't even opened. Professor Helps Then one night as he worked as watchman at the University of Pittsburgh, he heard a professor talking to his wife on the tele phone. The wife wanted advice on how to quiet her baby, who was crying. "He told his wife to let the baby cry; it would do her good to get it out of her system," Kohl man related. Before the night was over a song urging the world to "go ahead and cry" was lilting throughKohlman s mind. The melody sounded good to him then. Now, hearing it from radios, television sets and music boxes, Kohlman said: "It's really music to my ears." Can Jot Down Tunes A native of Pittsburgh,' Kohl man's only musical education was a correspondence school course in theory, but he can "chord enough on the piano to get a tune down on paper." The songwriter is the father of three children. He is prouder of them than his hit song. Eleanor, 16, is a cheer leader and honor student at Peabody High School and Carl, 10, is getting A's at Liberty school. Phyllis, 2, recognizes her fa ther's song when it is played on the radio and joins in. "I don't want to sound like a doting father, but she never misses a word," Kohlman declared. Private Australia Lottery Biggest From Point of Tax Hobart, Tasmania (U.R) Ad ams. Tattersal's lottery, believed to be the world's only major pri vately-owned lottery, is today the biggest business, from a tax standpoint, in the Australian is land state of Tasmania. Tattersall, a name widely used in horse racing in British areas, comes from Tattersall's horse auction mart in London, found ed in 1766 by Richard Tattersall. The famed lottery, begun by a young English migrant in a Sydney pub in 1881, has in its 71 years survived wars and poli tics that have . crushed or na tionalized numerous other lot teries elsewhere in the world. "Tatts," as the firm is af fectionately known in Australia and New Zealand, employs 450 persons and pays- about $5,000, 000 a year in Australian state and other government services. Stale Gels Revenue Its payment in 1951 of ap proximately $2,500,000 in a state HP lry it-youll know why its the BlA t. -Cdtt $o60 Vy """" -& -46 pint CeerS 'as Us feme" 4 qt ir old nv to n l tax on lottery tickets enabled lasmama to maintain a com pletely free medical scheme for its 280,000 inhabitants by aug menting contributions from the Australian federal medical plan. Australian winners of the lot tery pay no tax on their win nings, nor do winners of compet ing state government lotteries in New South Wales, Queens land and Western Australia. Socialistically-inclined Tasma nian labor governments, includ ing the current regime of Pre mier Robert Cosgrove, have nev er attempted to nationalize this unique institution. For "Tatts" is as much a part of Tasmania as the state's fa mous scallops, or the colorful waterfront of Hobar, where Massechusetts windjam mers based in the heyday of the port's romantic whaling history, through Kohlman's maind. Its bigness and age stem from a reputation for honesty and fair play begun by its founder, George Adams, who died in 1904. Example of Honesty For a striking example: The daughter of a lottery su perintendent, David Lord, won a 10,000 ($22,400) first prize in a regular weekly drawing. Al though the prize was well pub licized by the Hobart Mercury, there wasn't an upraised eye brow in town. "So what?" Hobartians asked. "Good on her and it's a fair go." "Tatts" is a private corpora tion which publishes no record of earnings for its owners, the beneficiaries of the estate of George Adams. They pay undis closed Australian federal income taxes on their profits. A picture of bearded George Adams adorns every ticket as well as various other printed matter of the firm of George Adams (Tattersall), of 77 Collins Street, Hobart. unnv mm U BRIND 'KENTUCKY BLENDED WHISKEY . ?6 PROOF . 65 GRAIN NEUTRAL .SPIRITSiTH5 OLD SUNNY BROOK CO., LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY Dead line on Classified Ads: 530 pjn for following day: 10 am Mon day: noon Saturday for Sunday a.m. Medford Milled Feeds Field Seeds Fertilizers morton mixme CO.
