June ..THE ORANGE AND BLACK.. 1932 SCRIBBLINGS FROM NATIONAL TOURNEYS ANKIN, North Dakota Consolidated Hlgh School League champs ln 1930, because of a high class reputation, were forced to play such qulntets as the University of North Dakota Freshmen and the Grand Forks MY. To play the latter game, the Lan- kln live had to take a bobsled across country in the mlddle of a blizzard that had stopped train service. - - . 1 - In one fo t.he games played by Lankln ln 1929-30, the score was 80-G, Herman Wlta- sek, star forward of the North Dakota cham- pions, looping 27 baskets. The sharpshootlng Witasek scored 197 fleld goals that season, and the team total was 672 points to their opponents' 140, ln 14 games. - - - - - Chinook, Montana, captured its flrst state championship ln 1929. after wlnn ing 30 stralght games during the regular season, scoring 1120 points to 404. That's a winning margin of 37-16 for each game. 3 . . . a Kavanaugh, Kentucky champs ln 1929, were sent to the national tourney by the peo- ple of the state, who annually have contrib- uted to a fund to pay rallroad fare of the state champlon, vt 1 0 I I St. Mary's High of Iowa City 119301 had only 17 boys in the school, and half of them were sent to Chicago for the tournament. St. Mary's has no gymnasium, practlclng in a dlntng room ln the school. which has no baskets. Once a week they shoot baskets at the Iowa City Hlgh School gym. Red Scallcn of Franklin High, Eugene, Ore., twhere Coach Spears coached his Ore- gon U grl dteami holds the individual scoring record with a total of 38 points, aggregated from 13 baskets and four free throws.

The greatest aggregate score ln the history of the tournament was 85 points, made in 1925, when Westport High of Kansas City defeated Springfield, Ohio, 50-35. 1 - . . . And the largest wlnnlng margin was the 71 to 9 victory of Lincoln, Nebraska, over Alpine, Tenn., in 1927. a 1 1 - Q Athens lTexasJ made only one foul in the 1928-29 tourney ln the championship tussle against Classen High, and fouls on t.he Okla- homa team decided the game, for the held goals were even. Ashland tKentuckyJ, the previous year, did not make a foul ln defeat- lng Canton, Ill., and fouls decided that championship, for Canton scored one more bucket than did the Kentucky quintet. n Q Q -f 1 Kansas City, Kans., 1923 champs, holds the record for tournament high scoring, making 197 points for an average of 39 2X5 points per game. s s . n .

At last the bus arrived at Edgerton and before long lt was time for the game. During the first half the Central men ran away with the small town boys, but soon after the second half began, it was noticed that the stock halfback was continually mlx- ing the Signals, In the huddle the captain inquired lf he was feeling all right and the halfback replied that he was O. K. The game continued, and although the signals were scrambled more than once, the boys were silent, not wishing to offend the little half- back. At last the gun went off, and as the boys started off for the showers, the, gritty halfback toppled over. It was found that he had been kicked pretty hard ln the head, and that his front teeth were broken badly. He was taken to the hospital and remained there ovemight, but he returned home the next day. As a result of that one contest, the boy will have to wear artificial teeth the rest of 'nls llfe. That's drama all right, lsn't lt? a r. . . l He trotted out from the locker room a .eh 1 1- small determined figure, a little late for practice, but eager to get into the scrim- mage and do his stuff. He was put in on the next playg the ball snapped back, and the llne rushed forward ..... all except the small figure at left end. He lay on the ground motionless and still. As the coach rushed up and bent over the suffering player, he looked up and murmured, I guess my ankle's broken, Coach. Those were the only words out of the plucky fellow, as he was carried off the held to a car. Just before the car started to the hospital, the boys heard the coach say, He'll get his 'M' although he can't play any more this season. This was one of the scenes of Central's sport drama enacted. - gl Q Q 1 The coach had sald that he could go into the game, and the' restless player squlrmed on the bench whlle he was given mstruztions. Finally, he was allowed to report at the scorekeeper's table and to start playing. This was his first season of basketball and he was rather nervous at llrst, especially since he was playing against the mighty Racine Park aggregation. As the game went along the player warmed up and was getting along fairly well. At last his chance came . . . he ,E 18 J- tucky's Blue Devils from Lexington won ln 1922, and Ashland repeatde in 1928, Kansas counted twice, with the vlctory of Kansas City ln 1923, and that of Wichita in 1925. asses Jena, Louisiana champs ln 1930, and who went into the quarter-finals ln both the 1929 and 1930 national scraps has no gymnasium.

To his surprise there were no groans from the supporters of his team., instead he heard sighs of relief: for to his chagrin, he found that he had shot at the wrong basket! LAZINESS tContlnued from Page 'rho-teena have caused lt undue cruelty on her part. From this we learn that lt ls a peculiar con- dltlon of the mind which causes exhaustion and dlsgust at a given task. If digging ditches were considered the best of pastimes, scores of wealthy famllles would undoubtedly substitute spades and plcks for golf clubs. G. K. Chesterton expresses much the same idea ln his essay, On Running After One's Hat. ll We have not cited these examples with the express purpose of boring my reader, even though it may apepar so to him. My paper ls limited, and my week's allowance is at an end, so it will bc nezessary to bring my treatise on laziness to a close. The Spectatlonn for next week will be written no a topic of interest to bridge clubs and sew- ing circles everywhere, namely. the modern generation.

June ..THE ORANGE AND BLACK.. 1932 Q HATS Q H H. isn' tthls one just too cute? Yes, but lsn't that purple and blue one over behind the red and yellow one just adorable! Gee, lt's only a dollar and eighty-eight. Yes, you guessed right the hrst tlme. These are two 16-year-old girls standing ln front of a dollar-eighty-elght hat shop, pointing to some of the latest from Paris headgear. Then as I looked in the window myself, I began to wonder-wonder what this hat- craze is all about. Just what use are these bits of colored straw and horse-hair? Thcre's lots of straw, and there's plenty of good, stout horse-hair in the country tif you don't believe me. try raking our back yardl. Vlfhy does making these materials into a hat make people say, Oh, aren't they the most ador- ably clever hats you ever saw?

I've also heard that hats keep the wind from blowing the hair out of place, I snickered at this ldea, for I was looking straight at a Boppy brlmmed creation that would be Perfect for the wind to play Pom-Pom-Pulh Away with. Could they be used for warmth? I thought with horror of the colored hair-nets all the girls are wearing now. Most hats don't even keep the sun out of their eyes, so I've come to the conclusion that they are a luxury. Someone ought to let Congress know so it can put hats on the luxury tax bill. Even men often struggle with their hats on windy days. and in the winter allow their enrs to freeze. The hat. of course. has many novel uses. It's a very handy thing to use in case one's church can't adord collection plates. Ed Kil- The school will open Monday, June 27, will run slx weeks, and close Friday, August 5.

CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS fcontn-mea from Page slxteenp April the girls began to study the short- story writers upon whose works many inter- estlng reports were given. There are now seventeen Hofxorary honor pin weareis ln Central. Twelve of them received their pins Mionday, May 23. They are Marie Bell, Charles DuBois, Helen Ebser, Jane Farwell, Alvin Gillette, Betty Herreld, Jean- nette Little, Adelaide Ogilvle, Charles Statz, Marjorie Smlth, Ruby Mae Tracy, and Jos- ephine Zacconc. Those who received honor pins last semester are Bernice Cohn. Elva Dunham, Myrtle Muzzy, Margaret Salter, and Dorothy Thompson. Four boys and seven girls were elected to the National Honor Society, a distinction which ls the highest honor bestowed u':on a high school student. The installation cere- mony was held on Monday evening, May 16, this semester rather than during the and period. Those who were inducted at this time were Marie Bell, Catherine Clayton, Jeannette Little, Marion Longhorn, William Bethel, John Dahlk, Ronald Starkweather of the 12a class, Eugene Schroeder, 12b, and gore, lf I remember correctly, pulled a rabbit out of hls. Presidential candidates give their best derhys distinction by throwing them ln the ring, Oh yes, some men use the hat- band as a deposit box for bus tickets. The lady makes use of her old bonnet as an excuse for papa or husband to get her a new one. One can usually tell the station of the wearer of a masculine hat: the young boy wears his cup backkwords, the college man wears his at a forty-five degree angle, and the president wears his on a dlgnitled llne. But mllady-her tilts run around ln clr- cles-lf you know what I mean-and the direction and angle of her new hat are decreed by the stylists. Grandma wore hers on top of her head. Then came the back- ward style: not long ago hats were worn squarely on the head so that the ears were covered: and now we have gone back to the Eugenie style, deftly balancing a tlny feather on one ear and eyebrow. -.mum nawam..
