Mary Burton, Mrs. Marjorie Arnold, Miss Doris Nickel Dean Hilda Threlkeld. 300 Cheer Faculty Staff Net Game as if it mattered so only one player continued to wear hers. Among the uniforms were a yellow nightgown, maroon pajamas, a baseball outfit, and Army fatigues. The nightgown failed to mask the true basketball form of its wearer, Mrs.

Joyce Marley, a clerk in the registrar's office. She would have led her team to victory except: Faculty members were allowed a score if the ball so much as touched the basket or backboard. No such privilege was accorded the Watchdogs. So the final score: Faculty, 15. Watchdogs, 8.

The men's game, among faculty members, looked too much like basketball to be worthy of a non-sportswriter's report. The red team, led by Dave Lawrence, dean of men, defeated the blue team, led by Dr. William Huffman, director of adult Of course it merely looked like football. Playing time was 10 minutes and the score: 8 to 4. Obviously the game had been "But they've been that way for a long time, so they'll just be acting naturally," he said.

Then came a resounding cheer: "Go, dogs, go; go, dogs, go! Hit 'em high; hit 'em low. Go, dogs, go!" This referred not to the faculty but to the "Office Watchdogs." These were the female staff workers who took on the female faculty. Stalwart of the faculty team was All-America Hilda Threlkeld, likewise known as dean of women. True to the fashion of another year, she stripped off a blue bathrobe to reveal a middie blouse and skirt, black stockings, and a daring item a pink and white garter below her left knee. Then she stripped again.

Beneath the skirt there was another skirt. Teammate Dr. Sue Hall lost her trousers in the heat of the Beneath were middie bloomers. Later she lost the bloomers and put on plaid slacks. Later still, she made a basket.

The Watchdogs trotted onto the floor wearing masks, no doubt so they could foul up the faculty freely for a change. But the masks interfered with visibility By ROBERT CLARK University of Louisville basketball was de-emphasized yesterday. It was also demoralized, decentralized, and disorganized. The players were so confused that one appeared in his no, it was her long-handled flannel underwear. Half the players were women, and one even had to use a stepladder to sink a basket.

And this in front of some 300 students, who watched with glee and applause. It was the annual strip-tease oops faculty-staff basketball session in the university gymnasium on Belknap Campus. There were two games, one between women and one between men. Proceeds To Woman's League Proceeds went to the Woman's League to decorate a study room in a women's dormitory, Robbins Hall. Coach J.

J. Oppenheimer, in private life dean of arts and sciences, announced before the games that he was sorry, but all the faculty players were incapacitated. 2 Negro Doctors Here Are Appointed To Faculty of U. of L. Medical School To Allract Louisvillians Sliephenlsvillc Croup May Build Low-Cost Homes By GRADY CLAY Courtcr-Journal tuff Wnttr Shepherdsville.

Dec. 16 A plan to increase Bullitt County's population by attracting Louisville industrial workers is being developed here. At a special meeting called to day by the Bullitt County Cham ber of Commerce, Shepherdsville builders, bankers, and others dis cussed a proposal for increasing new construction of homes. Burlyn Tike, one of the chamber's organizers, said it is planning a campaign to induce workers, especially in plants in the southern outskirts of Louisville, to "live in Bullitt County and work in Louisville." 10,000 Folders Planned It expects to give away 10,000 folders on Bullitt County to employees of Louisville plants; to give out maps to out-of-county motorists who stop at filling stations here, and to produce new maps and an industrial information folder. Chief stumbling block to the county's expected growth is lack of financing for new homes, said Pike and others at the meeting in Bullitt County Courthouse.

Howes Meade, State federal housing administration director, said, "The future looks rosy for Bullitt County even if you just sit still." Co-operation Urged He urged bankers and builders to co-operate in helping finance and build low-cost houses under the F.ILA.'s Title I. Section 8 program. This is a section of the F.II.A. law that permits F.II.A. to insure house mortgages as high as $5,700 at 5Vi per cent interest for 30 years.

Meade said that if Bullitt County banks could put up enough money in construction loans to get houses started, "at least one big company" is interested in making loans on groups of the low-cost houses. Most big mortgage lenders have shied away from making loans in rural Kentucky counties because of high collection costs, he said. "But if you can get a group of houses started here," he felt sure investors would be interested. 'Definitely Interested Roscoe Dalton, president of a mortgage firm in St. Matthews, was one of several builders at the meeting.

He said a national company he represents is "definitely interested" in a low-cost building project in the Shepherdsville area. Builders at the meeting said they all had plans to build between 75 and 100 new homes in Bullitt Countyif money is avail able for mortgage loans. Meade said, "The way to attract people in a hurry to your county is to offer new homes for only $300 down, and monthly payments of $36 to $38." This is possible under Title Section 8, he said. Builder 'Ready To Go' C. S.

Harris, cattle farmer and builder of Mount Washington, said he had 20 lots and was "all ready to go" on a 20-house building project as soon as capital is available. Meade pointed out that smalltown banks often have limited capital for anything more than construction loans. But by lending builders 6 per cent construction money on a 90-day term, with the mortgage insured by F.H.A., country bankers should be able to generate a large amount of new business for their communities, he said. 2 Held as Drunken Drivers Two men were arrested last night on drunken-driving charges. They were listed by police as Cpl.

Roosevelt Price, 22, of Fort Knox, and John J. Gilmore, 51, of 1243 S. 16th. The robbery suspect arrested in the tavern Tuesday was Earl Sims, 40, of 662 S. Eighth.

He is charged with the slugging and robbery of Harold Dinkelspeel, 62, at Dinkelspeel's United Liquor Store, 806 E. Walnut, a few hours earlier. Sims is in jail under $5,000 bond for appearance in Municipal Court tomorrow. Detectives Bruce Dodge and Herbert Sauer told Judge Peter B. Muir in the court yesterday morning that The Twin Tavern was a hangout for "robbers, prostitutes, and vagrants." The exact number of arrests at the place was not available yesterday, but Vice Squad detectives estimated that an average of from one to two persons are picked up in the place each day.

Fifth In One Day Sims was the fifth person to be arrested Tuesday at 225 S. Preston, according to records. Two women, Lucille Abell, 22, of 241 S. First, and Martha Lee Bently, 30, no addrecs listed, were fined $10 each for vagrancy. Two men arrested in the place were placed under peace bonds after charges of vagrancy were amended to security warrants.

They were docketed as Roy Peacock, 44, Okolona, and Hubert F. Payne, 26, Glasgow. Vv OTTO HAFER Feigned injury to get free their hostages (Long and Hafer) out the door in front of them as shields. When the fugitives saw the keys of the car they had been driving were gone, they piled into the sailor's car. Johnson blasted a rear tire with a shotgun and other officer opened fire.

The bandits returned the fire, then jumped from the car. Hafer Said He Was Hit Hafer screamed that he was hit and fell to the ground. Goldman and Hornbeck fled across a field, taking Long with them. As they came to a ditch, Long fell Into it and refused to move. The gunfire continued, and Tatrolman Robinson was shot in the head.

Then Goldman was hit and fell dead in a weedfilled ditch. Hornbeck made his way half a mile to the home of B. B. HoU brook, a truck mechanic. He took Holbrook's car keys at gun point after threatening to kill him, and fled.

Officers picked up Hornbeck'a trail. After a 95-mile-an-hour chase, they caught him in Lake Butler, a small town 52 miles southwest of Jacksonville. He was charged with murder. Merrifield Was In Gang Hornbeck and Goldman were members of a gang which last year staged jewelry holdups at Omaha, Indianapolis, and Nashville. Chester Merrifield, who is now in Eddyville Penitentiary execution for the slaying of Jefferson County Patrolman Alvin Keown about a year ago, also was associated with the gang.

Merrifield and Goldman were indicted here for interstate transportation of stolen jewels in connection with the Nashville jewel robbery. Merrifield's wife, Mrs. Juanita Merrifield, and Goldman's brother, Cletus, were given five-year prison terms after being arrested with $75,000 worth of stolen jewels at Carrollton, February 20. Myron Goldman and Hornbeck also were charged with robbing a Birmingham, bank of last January. Hornbeck escaped from Jefferson County Jail here in 1944 and again in 1945.

1 SAMUEL HORNBECK Caught after 52-mile chase A tj Goldman's outlaw companion, tured. Hornbeck surrendered without a fight after a highspeed, 52 mile chase. Two hostages held in the cross fire escaped the flying bullets-one by pretending he was hit and the other by falling into a ditch. Have Long Records Here Both Goldman, 32, Evansville, and Hornbeck, 36, Louisville, have long criminal records here. They had been sought since Sunday night when they broke out of a Savannah, jail after holding jailers at gun point.

The fugitives fled in a car commandeered from a Savannah couple. Goldman and Hornbeck were awaiting transfer to a federal penitentiary to serve 25 year sentences for the $83,359 robbery of a Savannah bank last April. Authorities also are searching for the bandits' wives, Patsy Ruth Hornbeck, 18, and Norma Jean Goldman, 20, who are believed to have smuggled a gun to the prisoners in a box of cereal. Here is the Associated Press report of yesterday's gun battle: Patrol Sgt. W.

F. Johnston spotted the car used in the Savannah escape parked behind the night club on the western edge of Jacksonville. He found the car empty, with the keys in it. He took the keys and called for other officers. Hornbeck and Goldman were inside the club, where they were pulling another robbery.

Doyle Long, club bartender, said he was locking up the bark door and telling his last customer, Otto Hafer, a sailor, good v. DOYLE LONG Used to shield bandits night when the fugitive's car pulled to a quick halt near them. Two men were in the car, Doyle said. "One of them flashed a nickel-plated .32 at me and told me to open the door. Frisked Us, Took Wallets' "We came into the office and the little one (Hornbeck) frisked us and took our wallets.

They ordered us to open the sa'e, but I explained I didn't know the combination. They tied us up with baling wire and just then a knock came on the door." This was the road patrol summoned by Sergeant Johnston. Hornbeck and Goldman pushed MYRON GOLDMAN Killed in gun battle International Chief Of Jaycees To Speak Douglas L. Hoge, Cincinnati, international president of the Junior Chambers of Commerce, will talk on communism tonight at a 6:30 dinner meeting of Louisville Jaycees at the Kentucky Hotel.

George E. Petro, in charge of the Kentucky station here, said today that those accepted for the two-year periods will be put on an inactive-reserve status at the end of their active-duty hours. Previously the Marine Corps had accepted enlistments for only three, four, or six years of active duty. I k. 5 llps- lift i i 1- Maloncy Tells OfResignation OfUnion Chief Joe E.

Pirtle Denies Charges Were Filed Joe E. Pirtle resigned from leadership of an A.F.L. building-trades union here after some members filed complaints against him, William E. Maloney said last night. Maloney, president of the International Union of Operating Engineers, said in Chicago that Pirtle resigned last month as business agent for the union's Local 181 here.

Pirtle said at his Jeffersonville home last night that he resigned last April, and is now in the road-contracting business. Charges Claimed In answer to a newspaper query from Louisville, Maloney told the Associated Press: "P.irtle resigned after some of. the members in and around Louisville filed charges with me that he was renting contractors machinery through an agency. I didn't investigate the charges after the resignation." Pirtle denied that charges were filed. He said it was common know ledge that he had owned a bull dozer and truck crane since about 1943, and rented them through his own agency.

They were rented mainly by conservation clubs and farmers to dig ponds, he added. "Nobody was overcharged," he said, "and nobody was high-pressured into renting from me." Held Post 13 Years Pirtle said he had been business agent for almost 13 years when he resigned. He was succeeded by Montie Bashion, his former assistant. In 1948 Pirtle was a target in an unsuccessful fight by some of his membership to get self-rule. He had been assigned to his post by an international supervisor at Local 181's headquarters at Evansville, Ind.

The fight was comparable to that waged during the last two years by rebellious I.U.O.E. members in the Paducah area. A tentative agreement was reached last week in the Western Kentucky controversy under which the I.U.O.E. agreed to establish an autonomous local in Kentucky.

He said he would investigate the situation. Only One Incident Reported Bartholomew said police had reported only one incident concerning the place to his office. That was last January.

Capt. Priest Fry, head of the Vice Squad, said there had been no serious disorder in the place. "I suppose if we. had reported to Mr. Bartholomew the many arrests at the tavern, action would have been taken by now.

If the place is closed, the persons who congregate there will just drift, to some other place in the neighborhood," Fry said. Commenting on Luber's previous record of handbook arrests, Bartholomew said he had been lenient to such persons "if they had no other record of arrests and if they assured me they were out of the gambling business." Informed of the great number of arrests in The Twin Tavern, Police Chief Carl Heustis said he Intends to ask the City Law Department to begin legal steps toward padlocking the place. DR.
