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.

A New England coach relates the
following basketbaJl story in which
a chimney figures.'1 ,
"Several years' ago we visited a
prep school in our state where they
played in the living room or lounge,
which had an Immense red brick,
qolonial fireplace- at one end with
the basket superimposed over the
fireplace. . !'n ;
"Tho first half, ' it was nip and
tUCk. bUt thft KMTCIt half tfrVson
shot, at the . baske't over the -fire
place tney ran away from us. Right
at the start of ihifrthall their for
ward cut for the right hand oornr,
and when, well over and still run
ning away ' from the basket, he
hooked a , Bhot that rolled up. the
chimney along the incline, across a
shelf and then dropped off Into the
basket for two points,. '
"They gamerect'.&everal of these,
we protested but rto no avail. We
were Informed that we had -the
same privilege but ?just hadn't used
It. What a beating we took and
how that boy could" roll 'em up the
bricks, across that .shelf and Into
the basket! He ,got twelve."

One of. my friends, from Spring
field, Ohio, contributes this one.
"One of the snappiest little offi
cials working In: 'Ohio this year Is
Dick Bray, about ' as big as a wren
and quicker. He's fast on his feet,
and nimole with hia wits. He gets
along with players in all hard games
because he jokes with them.
. "When Wittenberg college was
running a string; of 15 victories In
1931, the players' dldn't kick about
decisions, because they were usual
ly away ahead in -the score, but the
opponents did.
"One young giant on a visiting
team went up to Bray, in a nasty,
hard' voice and told him about a de
cision. Bray could be heard. In an
swer up to within five packed rows:

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. Bessie, Mrs. Ross's per

since then left no doubt In minds of
settlers here that the ship was sunk.

Without Any Food
' IDAHO PALLS, Idaho, Feb. 5 iff)
Between 200,000 and 250,000 head of
sheep are in danger of starvation on
the desert near Roberts, Idaho, west
of here, because blooked roads make
it impossible to get food to them, the
state highway department was ad
vised Thursday.
The department was asked to send
equipment to open the Idaho-Montana
highway from here to Roberto
and vicinity.. , ,

Finally, there were Ave horses

Hone's white darling, Robin. Hood.
These, however, had boen shipped

Mister Fallows would, have been

was sulking feverishly because bis

Was miserably threatened by tlio

matter of witless statistics. Mister
Fallows,.' with his,..4uindred . and a

stood a far bettor chance, of sup

In tho beautiful and picturesque old
Club House, and ato and drank,
dressed and undressed, bathed and
rubbed, and powdered, dreamed and '
laughed and Joked, and slept from
sublime exhaustion.
Placid was radiant at a peak of Its
holiday efforts. Tho American skat-ing-team
for tho Olympic Winter
Games had its training headquarters
there that year, and good old Wil
liam O'Hare, the well-known coach,
