TKiayyremniary 5; 1932 Indian Cagers Used Mesh Wire ToGetBaskets This Is the fifth of a series of articles written 'by Forrest O. "Phog" Allen, director of athletics at the University of Kansas and nationally known basketball coach. By Forrest C. Allen LAWRENCE, Kan., Feb. S WV-Basketball yarns are becoming more numerous with the Increasing age of thlB young and vigorous Indoor sport. . In the early days of limited seat ing areas-, galleries for the specta tors were built at the ends of the court. In order to give these spec tators unimpaired vision, . glass or wire back stops were installed. The Haskell Indians, with a ga laxy of national stars In their lineup, were playing the Kansas City Ath letic club team on the Indians' court In 1903. , The Indians' court was fitted with chicken wire back stops and Instead of shooting for the baskets the In dian fired away from a distance at the sagging area In the wire netting. Much to the chagrin of their "white man" opponents the ball would, drop dead and fall directly., into, the basket. To complicate matters further, in the Indians' gymnasium there were six large, round, steel floor supports located in the playing court.

Feb. 5 (ff) Old-timers here are convinced f the abandoned fur-laden ship Baychimo has been -crushed and sunk in heavy storms which swept the Arctic ocean since last, fall- when it was deserted in the Ice pack. Thsy expressed this opinion when it was learned that PllotWllllam Gra ham and Mrs. Edna Christofferson were planning to hop off from Se attle to search, for the ship and sal vage its fur cargo. The Baychimo has not been seen for more than a month.

Chapter 6 ONCE IN A BLUE MOON ANGEL had the disposition her name Implied, without being offensive or narrow-minded (as Qoody was, for Instance), Angel could be a D.A.R. it she de sired; and the fact that she didn't was soothing. Angel was tho sister o! a dead crack avlatrlx, and the daughter of a drunken father. Angel's father could have put his family in the finest house In West chester, with a penthouse on Park Avenue just as an overnight hang out, so great .was his talent as an artist. But Instead ot working and making his, his wife's and daugh ter's way, Mr. Thorn would lock Then came the moment wh himself In a room of a good New York hotel, and having had all the furniture moved but except tho bed, tha phono disconnected, h- would stay, for weeks in solItude7-lrIiik- ink. Editors, art directors, presidents ot advertising agencies, newspaper propiletors. themselves In person, would beat upon the locked door pleading and bribing Mr. Thorn to CQiqe out rind do a coyer for a maga zine, or a sketch for a silk-stocking contract Just work for half a day and . then go back! But Angel's father would have none ot thorn. . . . A mon'.h, and Angel's father would be dutifully back at work; doing a cover of pretty maiden faces, and dear-darling backgrounds. Meanwhile Angel's'mothcr would be ' going without asparagus or bacon So eha might buy a tew yards of. chiffon; and herself, stitch by stitch, fashion it Into an excuse for an evening-gown for hor daughter. As a. result, Angel had enormous talents for both drinking and art In five minutes Angel could hand you a slick poater-liko drawing of yourself. But the poor child was In hibited on the two subjects as far r he herself was conce ed. With her mother's New England deter mination, Angel refused to consider art as a career, and was bent upon educating herself to earn money In a sane and stodgy, but dependable way. Already she was tutoring on tha side, and not (which made Hope like her Instantly, and give her dresses to be dyed and disguised) "just for the fun of It." It the truth were known, and It became gradually obvious as truths will, Angel labored over Hope's Latin with an eye to being one of the Itoss set for a purpose. And that Purpose never even guessed how much he meant In her lite. Rusty Crandall, even when be learned to like Angel, never dreamed how mucb his every word and smile counted. These comprised the Ave couples that Hope bad finally chosen for Her nine-day parly In the glistening snowy peaks ot Lake Placid. ' The entourage, however, did not stop there.
