B.—Upward of a dozen deaths resulted today from one of the most severe cold waves that has rtrapnw—gmTFe—country in years, disrupting transportation and communication' and causing untold suffering. The North-Central section was the gjpatest sufferer from the cold, Chi cago and Illinois having low marks which have not been passed since 1905, while Kansas, Missouri, Wis consin, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Iowa also reported exceptional cold, some temperatures being the coldest in many years. ^ The coldest point in the United States today, according to unofficial reports, was Virginia, Minn., where 39 degrees below zero was reported but this record was closely approach ed by Mankota, Minn., with 38 below, rdon. Neb.. 37 below. TomghrTH^jdeafh ltic*1h 'Chfc; e the lowest offidaTTeading to day was 16 below, but whose unoffi cial readings in suburbs reached 22 below, stood at 6. Three deaths had been reported at St. Louis, Mo., and at St. Paul a park policeman was frozen to death. The Dakotas, Minnesota, Nebraska and Iowa reported the lowest tem peratures of the day. In Fargo,. N. D., 35 below zero was reported, while several South Dakota points indicated 30 below and colder. At Sioux Falls, the lowest was 34 below, at Huron 31 below and at Watertown 30 be low. Norfolk, Neb., and Fort Dodge, Iowa, reported 32 below; Sioux City, Iowa, registered 25 below, and Des Moines 22 below. La Crosse, Wis., reported the low est temperature in that state with 28 below, but according to reports from Milwaukee the weather in cer tain parts of the state was such that milk deliveries were virtually aband oned, bus service discontinued and rail transportation delayed. At St. Louis and Kansas City the coldest weather since 1918 was re ported. At the latter point the ther mometer reached 15 below and at the former 9 ^below. Salina, Kan., was the coldest point in the state, with 23 bek>w. In Illinois more than a dozen cities P. C. WILL HAVE FAST CAGE TEAM Prospects Fine For Exceptionally Fast Basketball Team For Coming Season. (By H. J. Hindman) Walter A. Johnson will have a fas righthihg-llke basketball {earn to sem against opponents this year. Al ready the team has developed mid season speed, and the endurance will not be lacking ’ere the first game is history. No prediction is being made as to the outcome of the Blue Stocking cage season of ’24—not at this early date, anyway. But the observer of the daily workout draws the con clusion that ’twill be some faster- than-usual-team that beats the little team from P. C. Captain Miller’s men have been passing the ball along in fine style the first workouts of the year and this phase of the game does pot cause much concern. For the past few years, the necessary virtue of team&. has been lacking ijr-the H^er^Sttoekinir ability to shoot. Just whether this year’s aggregation will be any ex ception to the' rule remains to be seen. However, in the two prac tice scrimmages thus far a decided improvement in the shooting de partment has been shown over quints of previous years. McMillan graduated some valu able material from the freshman team of last year. Walker, R., and Hunter, like the Wilson-Pearce foot ball combination of ’22, is a fast running pair at forward., Moore, J., looks good either at forward or guard, while Martin gives promise of a good center. Four letter men of last year returned: Captain Miller, guard, Mason, G.; Ricker, center; and Walker, E. f forward. Just now the only prediction to be made about the ’24 Blue Stocking cagers is: “Walter A. Johnson will have a lightning-like basketball team to send against his opponents.” FOR REN T Two story house on Enterprise Street which has just been ‘ repaired and painted inside and outside.
