Blue Devils Drilling for Their Opener Friday at West Side Basketball Coach John Adkins . Vine t r-i ry rvi r Vi-k cnun -j 4. nc and they have been working in tensively on fundamentals -in preparation for this Friday's opener at vVestside, he said to day. A good deal of time also has gone into free throw practice, a set offense, and other details, and the team scrimmaged against St. Joe here last Tues day. Adkins said he'd like to get another scrimmage game in this week before Friday's game. Adkins, coaching the Blue Devils for the first time this year, was making no predic tions on how the team might make out this year, but said they "looked good against St. Joe." Adkins could put five boys on the floor who are over cix feet tall, but the starting line-up probably will be a little under that average. Mainstays on this year's team will be Grover Cun dall, 6' 2", senior; Don Conyers, 5' 3", senior; Gene Dasher, 6' 1", senior; Terry Ernst, 5' 10", senior; Jim Graves. 5' 9", senior; Denny Hirz, 5' 11", junior; Dan Huebner, 6' 1", junior; Stuart Nielsen, 6' 2", senior; Denny Ptak, 6' 2", senior; and Don Rhoades, 6' 1", senior. All these boys played on last year's team, although not necessarily letter ing. Also on the first 15 will be Vern Aylor, 5' 8", junior; Ed Egenberger, 5' 10", junior; Joe Grauf, 5' 8", junior; Larry Jen kins, 5' 8", senior; Vern Kaffen terger, 5' 10", junior.

A. S. C. Warns Farmers to Care for Grain To the many farmers of Cass county who have grain stored on their farms, Ivan G. Althouse, chairman of the Cass county Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation committee, urges i frequent and careful inspection of the grain. He points out specifically that grain lost or reduced in quality through carelessness and neglect while in storage deprives the farmer of the protection he ex pected to receive when he took out a Commodity Credit corpor ation loan. At the time the settle ment was made, the farmer is credited with grain of the qual- j lty and amount at the time the loan was taken out.
