vm Pa Over ' ' i ! i 'A- Speaking of "crow's nest" in terest, we have a report that Coach Harold Hauk of the Viks and Frank Beer, Jayvee mentor at the high school, were both perch ed up behind the goals of the high's hoop haS inspecting con duction of the scrimmage the Red and Blacks were going through Wednesday afternoon. Could mean maybe the Vik boss is con templating installing the idea at the Villa. .There's talk going "round" that Gene Eberhard's idea of re viving "crow's nest" basketball officiating is gaining in promt Hence, and may be used exclusively by various teams and leagues throughout the country in seasons to come, . Although never having seen a game officiated from up back of the goals, (but there are a lot of cage fans who call a fair . game off court,) we wonder what will replace the color that is in 0MU AAA m A O AWr ivmp "Mi J WfcVIBia nilWU . caged above court, And plenty of color and "added attraction", will be lost when they, put boys like Emil Piluso and a couple of foul finders in the east, Pat Kennedy and Ernie Quigley by name, the latter with years of service behind him s a major league umpire, whom schools oft times bill as the main attraction, listing the bas ketball game second. Many and many laugh has been drawn from a bored audience by these boys with their respective tech niques as showmen, stage direc tors and pantomime artists when the games they work show signs of becoming dull and action-less. Not that these "showboats" added attraction to any game when it's known that performers like Piluso, Kennedy or Quigley are going to work the whistle and go through their comical antics on the floor. Should the "crow's nest" idea sweep the country, maybe these "added attractions" can take up vocal lessons and entertain the crowds with a ditty or two when the game slows down to replace the color that will certainly be lost if they're sent to the rafters to conduct games and toot fouls. MacMitckell Has 4:08 Mile In Metro Meet Seventh Fastest Mile Ever Run Indoors NEW YORK, Feb. 12-ff)-Set- ting all his own pace from start to finish, Leslie MacMitchell, New York university's great miler, Thursday night ran the seventh fastest mile ever run indoors by taking his specialty in the Metro politan indoor championships in 4 minutes, 8 seconds flat His nearest; rival when he crossed the finish line his team mate, Jack Ross was about half a lap back at the end. Fer two reasons, MseMlt chell's performance proven even more startling to the crowd of some 1000. First he told friends he wasn't rolng out. for any record. Second, he wai running on a board track ordinarily nee for midget automobile races. The timers caught him at 1:00.4 for the quarter-mile: 2:04.4 for the half and 3:06.2 at three-quarters. There he uncorked a spar kling closing sprint that brought the crowd to its feet Now that the Pacific Coast league clubs have decided to cut their respective playing rosters from the usual 25 to 20 men this season as an expense saving meas ure, leagues of lower classifica tion, (particularly the Western In ternational,) can expect more ex perienced and abundant help in the way of optioned players. The five players lopped from each team will undoubtedly be sent out via the option route along with those who ordinarily would have been "farmed," and as at least five of the present WH. cam paigner have tieups or agree ments with Coasters, they should be first-hand recipients of the optionees, and castoffs.
