Cadillac
Wednesday Nite
The Clare high school Pioneers
first basketball appearance as a
class B tournament club will be a
"David and Goliath" contest
against larger Cadillac in tfte
first-round pairings of the district
matches. The game is scheduled
for next Wednesday evening at
8:00 p. m. in the Cadillac school's
new gym-
Only four B schools were eii*
tered in the tourney when drawings took place Tuesday in Cadillac. The other first round game
will pit Big Rap/ds against Manistee at 8:00 Thursday March 5 on
the same floor. Winners of. the
two contests will meet for the1 district title on Saturday night,
March 7,
Coach Seitz' Green and* White
teams entered- class B competition
this year when Clare high school
enrollment passed the 325 total by
only a handful of students." Clare
is the underdog in the .'Coming
tournament by all odds and faces
"sudden death" in the encounter
with favored Cadillac on the first
night of play.
But Seitz and his players have
anything but a hopeless attitude
toward their tourney chances.
Rather, they regard this first game
as their chance to blaze their way
to real success as a hard fighting
and determined unknowns in the
tough playoffs.
Looking back at their season oi
ups and downs, the players feel
that'they have shown nights -."oi
smooth-working, inspired basketball, and it is possible to make
their entry\ tt.to class B play
memorable by upsetting the favorites ... if they hit their "UP
stride on next Wednesday.
Tickets for the clash go on sale
today at the school, Hotel Doherty,
and Anderson's and Houghton's
drug stores. Adults are 60c and
students' 40c for advance sales,
with only adults' admissions for
sale at the Cadillac gym on the
night of the game.

The Meat
Situation
Many people are wondering why
beef prices are dropping (to the
producer that i .. Alccording to
"iheaty news" a (publication . the
livestock and meat industry, there
were 16*. more cattle on feed in
the United States January 1, 1953,
than a year ago and the largest
num'ber on record. In the corn -belt
States there were 23% more cattle
on feed than a year ago. In the 13
western states the cattle on feed
was 2% below 1952.
A larger .porportion of the light
weigiht cattle were on feed than a
year ago in' corn belt states, 73%
had been on 'feed less than, three
months. Corn belt feeders have indicated they will market their cattle at a faster rate than last year.
This will mean lighter cattle-
less total pounds of 'beet than
-when the same numbers are fed
out to heavier ^weights.
Sheep ahd lambs- on feed are
down in numbers hy 7% under last
year. Western states show a 15%
decrease while the corn belt states
have 2% less lambs and sheep on
feed than a year ago.
Hogg, are in a favorable position
price . -wise. U.S.D.A. estimates
.piace last falls pig crop at 11%
below normal and the spring crop
to come will be 13% below a year
ago. With lower feed1 costs in prospect, the hog producers should do
"right.well" this year..
