5EVERY COLD WAVE
SWEEPS THE COUNTRY
Low Temperatures Cause Twelre Per
sons To Freeze To Death and
Brings Untold Suffering.
Chicago, Jan. 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.

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.”
