Basketball fanatics who saw El
Reno Indians and Classen Comets
slash through four mad. amazing
quarters of a Mid-State confer-
ence tussle at Oklahoma City Fri-
day night were handed two gigan-
tic surprises.
First. It was deemed unbelievable
that El Reno's comparatively weak
Tribe had held the Shooting Stars
to a 6-4 count at the half.
Then after the spectators settled
back to watch what they thought
was going to be a nlp-and-tuck
affair, they were stunned to sec
the Comets lake a free rein »nd
skip ahead to a 34-9 verdict when
the final gun was fired.
Coach Dick Horton's revised line-
up placed Lyle Brass and Joe
Slattery at forward. Robert Moul-
ton at center. Bobby Shuttee and
Captain Ralph Clovis at guard.
That quintet was airtight on de-
fense during the first two periods,
forcing the Comets to attempt all
I heir shots from the middle of the
floor, but the Indians also were ex-
periencing chronic Inability to find
the hoop. When the intermission
rolled around, the fans had seen
also three field goals scored—by
both teams.
El Reno Leads Once
After three minutes of play. Rex
Walters broke the ice for Classen,
but Moulton plugged In a neat try
for the Indians to leave the count
tied 2-2 as the initial quartet
elapsed.
Garnett Corbin started tlie scor-
ing in tlie second period with a
free heave, but Lyle Brass evened
things again when he made good
on a charity throw, and El Reno
actually went into a short-lived
lead when Bobby Shuttee hit from
the foul line to set El Reno out
in front 4-3.
Oene Smelser, however, took it
upon himself to cage a field shot
and added h free toes for Classen
to give "Skimmer" Miller's charges
a 6-4 margin at the half.
Their tete-a-tete at the intermis-
sion evidently fired the Comets
with unbounded ambition, for they

OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb 20-t/Pt
—I. C. Thurmond, pioneer western
Oklahoma banker, was convicted in
federal court today on a charge
of fraud in obtaining a 8160.000
loan from the reconstruction fi-
nance corporation.
Federal Judge Franklin E. Kenna-
mer deferred sentence until Feb-
ruary 27 and J D. Lydlck, Thur-
mond's attorney said he would
flic a motion for a new trial early
next week.
Thurmond resides on a ranch
near Amarillo. Tex.
Tlie maximum penally Is two
years imprisoment. a $15,000 fine
or both Six days of testimony were
required to complete the case.
W T Smoot, former secretary
of one of the Thurmond banks was
acquitted upon the recommenda-
tion ol Judge Kennamer.
Judge Kennamer also deferred
until February 27 disposition of
the ease of five other defendants
who entered pleas of nolo con-
tendere or no defense and acted
as government witnesses.
The seven were indicted for al-
legedly conspiring to make false
statements and to overvalue prop-
erty in obtaining an RFC loan.
The loan was made in 1934 to
remove frozen assets of tlie state
banks ol Cheyenne. Texola and
Rrydoii o( which Thurmond was
president
Rain, turning to snow, and a
sharp drop In temperature brought
El Reno's dust storms to an end
about mid-afternoon Saturday. The
snow continued for several hours,
but most of it melted as It fell.
The forecast Is for cloudy and
colder weather 8unday. with Mon-
day fair and warmer.
According to the Associated
Press the snow was general, bring-
ing relief to the plains of Kansas,
Oklahoma. Colorado and Texas, af-
ter a week’s scourge of dust. Resi-
dents of the area were much cheer-
ed by the sudden change in tlie
weather.
Partners said the snow which
clung to the ground would prevent
immediate recurrence of “dusters"
and give point to a campaign of
deep listing to prevent further
wind erosion.
There are thousands of acres
of wheat which have suffered only
slight damage and which will come
back with plenty of moisture.”
declared Herbert Clutter. Finney
county. Kansas farm agent.
Glvoo Breathing Sped
He said the snow would not
solve the erosion problem but
would furnish a breathing spell."
The snow storm contributed to a
fatal highway crash.
Mrs.. Isabel Shoffner of Lawton,
was killed and nine other persons
were injured when a bus collided
with the rear of a truck south
or Newton. Kan.
The heaviest snow was reported
at Liberal and Sallna, Kan., where
5 inches fell. Dodge City, Kan.,
received four inches of wet snow.
The snow ranged from 3 inches
at Dalhart, Tex., to 4 Inches at
Tyrone, Ouymon, Texhoma Boise
City and Ooodwell and Elkhart.
Kan. Hooker reported 3 inches of
snow, Spearman. Tex, an inch and
a half.
A blinding snow storm swirled
over parts of northern and central
Oklahoma tonight.
Eastern Oklahoma was drenched
with rains ranging up to 1.69 inch-
es at Muskogee.
Temperatures dropped over the
four state area with a hard freeze
