Iowa State Finally Accepts Tourney Bid
Dr. King said a special request was made by the committee for "the sake of the tournament."
"We believe," said the chairman, "that Iowa State is the logical choice to represent the fifth district."
Iowa State was again asked last night to compete in the N. C. A. A. western basketball playoffs in Kansas City, March 24-25. The request came from Dr. H. H. King of Kansas State, chairman of the selection committee. In a later announcement from Ames came the acceptance of the offer by the Iowa State Athletic council. This puts the Cyclones in the tournament with Arkansas, Iowa, and Pepperdine college of Los Angeles.
Ship's Company Tops S.O.W. Techs 79-33
The acceptance of Iowa State to enter the play-offs places two Iowa schools in the tourney, as the University of Iowa has already accepted an invitation to serve as an alternate for the Rocky Mountain area, where Utah, its squad wrecked by the draft, was unable to represent the conference.
With scorekeeper Lee Haggerdorn and Ensign H. L. Ware pouring 25 and 24 points respectively through the net, the Ship's Company defeated the S.Q.W. Techs, 79-33 last night in the most decisive victory yet scored in Lawrence league play.
The S.O.W. team, lacking players, plugged their squad with V-12's but were still unable to stop the rampaging pair. Barnes, V-12'er, led the SOW scoring with 12 points.
In the other game of the evening, the V-12'ers ran over the MM's 57-2, with Scott, PT 7, leading the way with 13 points. Schimeuz, a newcomer to the V-12 school, and Koskela, veteran MM high scorer, shared second place scoring honors with 10 points each.
Tonight the V-12's are definitely favored in their meeting with the S.O.W. Techs., and the Ship's Company should have no trouble with the MM's in the second game of the evening.

insignia. One man, from the Pacific theater, held the rating of chief petty officer, Lieutenant Michelman said.
Included in the branches of service represented by the insignias are pharmacist's mates, motor mechanics electrician's mates, aviation machinists, machinist's mates, under-water soundmen, and metalmilsms.
Campaign ribbons and battle stars decorate the dress blues of many men, telling of duty in the African theater, the Atlantic, the Caribbean, the Aleutians, at Hawaii, and in the Far Pacific. Several men wear "hash" marks, a red diagonal stripe on the sleeve designating four years of service.
The men were selected from active duty for V-12 training by competitive examinations given on their ship or at shore stations and will be given the regular engineering or premedic curriculum here. Upon the completion of their schedules the men will be sent to midshipman schools and then receive commissions as ensigns.
Sportorials By Charles Moffett
We are inclined to agree with Dr. F. C. Allen that Cliff Rock of Kansas State turned in the best coaching job in the Big Six for the material available. All season long the Wild-cats had plenty of hustle and at times gave some of the better teams some anxious moments. But the greatest tribute to Rock came when his boys defeated Nebraska. This upset was indeed surprising for the entire starting five of K-State was lost to the armed forces as the season progressed. However, the Wildcat reserves came through for their coach and made his first year in the Conference a good one.

Announcement comes from Ames that Iowa State will put varsity teams in the field this spring in baseball, track and tennis. The first baseball practice was held last week and 15 civilian candidates reported. Only two of them have had any previous Cyclone baseball experience. Navy trainees will report next week. No schedule for the diamond sport has as yet been arranged.
The Track team has two sure dates—Drake Relays, April 29, and Big Six Conference meet, May 20.
"Yuh mean there's a WAR on! "
- Not long ago, the papers carried a story of two hermit brothers who wandered into town and found to their great surprise that America was at war.
Probably the prices they had to pay for food and supplies gave them the first sharp, shocking realization that something was happening.
Even though almost everything else costs more in war, the price of household electricity has stayed at the low pre-war level. Moreover, every war industry has had ample electric power, and all essential civilian needs have been satisfied.
At least, in the unlikely event that their cave is wired for electricity, you can be sure that they never noticed the war in their electric bills!
We're proud of the big war job our industry has done - by careful planning, hard work, and good business management. We're proud to have a part in that job—and hope that you'll never know there's a war on-by looking at your electric bill!
