"And now for the Indiana weather. Our state has been ravaged today by the worst snowfall in its history. The Governor has pleaded for disaster aid from the Federal Government and has labeled the situation 'a tragedy of the greatest proportions.' All schools have been closed at least for tomorrow. "In sports, as every Hoosier knows, it's high school basketball tournament time again. Every opening round game of the sectionals is still slated to be played tonight. According to the Governor, "A little snow never hurt anybody.'" Yeah, so what's a little snow. When it's pitted against the U.S. Mail, the Canadian mounties, and Indiana basketball. Since when can frozen water wipe out Truth, Justice, and the American Way. Truth and Justice maybe, but never the American Way. Especially Indiana style. According to Hoosier legend, when God created the heavens and the Earth, the Earth had to settle for mountains and oceans while the heavens were blessed with a hardwood floor. When He rested on the seventh day it just happened to be the day of the NBA all-star game. Adam was naked except for gym shoes and athletic socks. Eve had no less that a pom-pom. The Garden was really located at Madison Square, not Eden. Original Sin is just another term for double-dribbling. Growing up in Indiana is like attending a non-stop basketball clinic. In grade school you don't learn the multiplication tables, you learn how to keep score. The teachers are identified by big numbers on their backs instead of names. Parents have to bring a scorecard when they visit classes. If you act up in class, the teacher doesn't paddle you, he blows a whistle and the kid behind you,gets to shoot a free throw. Report cards are made out like box scores. If you get an "F" you haven't failed, you've fouled out. First graders get a gold star for every defense they can read correctly. Instead of desks, students sit on bleachers. Teachers hand out lineups when you walk into class. If any kid wears a black-and-white striped shirt to class, every- body throws bottles at him. At a school dance if there are ever more than ten people out on the floor at one time the chaperone calls a technical. The smallest schools are the most fanatic. School reconsolida- tion has been fought for years because no village wants to lose its basketball team. If Mrs. Cleafwaters had ordered her three sons not to play basketball for Belle Union three years ago, the Panthers would have had to face Roachdale with only two players. The Belle Union gym has a ceiling so low you can't shoot a jump shot. They would have built a new one but the contractors couldn't find the town. Nearby Fillmore has a gym which seats 3,000, however. That's because they have 150 students. All you need to get a charter for a town in Indiana is one kid over six feet and a fieldhouse. Every school competes in the state tournament on an equal basis. Last year Cloverdale, boasting less than 200 students, almost defeated Indianapolis Tech, with over 5,000 in the semi-finals. If a small school even wins merely its sectional tournament, school is automatically closed for a week. It's a bigger event than when Clem wins the state hog-calling contest. During tournament time every cop in town is at the game. That's OK, because so is every crook. It's all in fun, but "Hoosier Hysteria" dos have its drawbacks. After all, when the churches declare Oscar Robertson's birthday to be religious holiday things are going too far. And making players from out-of-state high schools carry passports when they play in Indiana is ridiculous. Even if everybody else is considered a foreigner. And other sports don't really get a far shake. For years I thought a football was only a basketball with knots on both ends. Baseball was something we read about on bubble gum cards. The current rate of exchange is ten Frank Robinsons for one Reggie Harding. For Lew Alcindor you have to throw in the bubble gum too. Hockey was something that pawnbrokers played. Golf was gasoline. Even the school textbooks present a distorted view of the world. In English class we studied The Basketball Years, which was sup- posedly the part of Carl Sandburg's biography of Abraham Lincoln dealing with his Indiana youth. "I do not choose to run" was a quote attributed not to Calvin Coolidge but to a basketball coach who preferred a slow game. Indiana was said in the history books to be named after the Blackfoot Indians, who ran out onto a blacktop court before it was dry. The nickname "Hoosier" supposedly origin- ated with a drunk referee who always asked "Who's here?" because he could never remember who was playing. I grew up thinking James Naismith was the Father of Our Coun- lv try. I still can't believe that chopping down a cherry tree is greater than setting up peach baskets to throw balls through. I've finally learned the truth about a lotofhthings since I left Indiana. You see, George was chopping down that cherry tree to make room for a basketball court ... .

Duke's 6-7 Mike Lewis was held in check and missed frequently from inside. Bob Verga, the Blue Devil playmaker, also failed to reach the sort of performance he achieved last season. Each scored 16 points. It was Duke's first opening game loss since 1959-60. Scores NBA Detroit 119, Boston 116 Philadelphia 138, L.

Free yourself from shaving's tyranny with the new Norelco Tripleheader Speedshaver 35T.

Nomatterhow toughyour beard is, the skin of your neck is still tender, because shaving hasn't chewed it up or turned it crusty yet. Shaving can do that because ordinary shaving devices make no adjustment for that tender skin. The REMINGTON@ 200 Selectro shaver has a dial with a specialposi- tion just for your neck. Position number one is designed to protect that very tender skin-the skin most shaving devices cut, scratch, redden and irritate. Yet it gives you the closest. shave you've ever had-while it's pro- tecting your neck. Another part of the Remington pro tection is that it has exclusive guard combs that lift up the hairs (even the thin, curly hairs of your neck) and slick them off. By lifting the whiskers, the guard combs also prevent ingrown hairs that beard. Because the new REMINGTON 200 Selectro shaver has a bigger shaving surface, you don't have to rub and scrub your skin raw red, to get a closer shave. That goes for touching up your lip or shaving your whole face for the first time in three days. There's a special position just for sideburns. Number 5. Turn the dial and up comes the biggest pop-up trimmer ever. Does a straight, even, neat job on sideburns. And it's good for back-of-the-neck jobs, too, between trips to the barber. The easiest electric shaver clean- ing ever. Number 6 on the dial. Just click; the side panels flip open and, with a pffft from you, it's clean. That's all there is to it. The price.
