Basket ball fans of the District de-
string to see a real team in action
would do well to visit Central Coli

York Celtics will be the guests of the
District champion Yankees. and the
visitors generally are conceded to be
among the ranking basketers of the
Atlantic seaboard. Composed of men

team has a world record Of 205 vic
tories in the past two seasons, and it
easily is the best floor game aEgrega-

put the ball from a mushy lie with his
iron three inches from the cup. for a
distance of 10 yards. Hutchison's
ball rolled about three inches to the

~ FFENSE-Against teams Of

consistently You must concede
that the opponents are likely to be
as alert and follow the ball as closely
as your own team, and before the
ball can be relayed TO a position
to score, something is very apt to
happen, which might spoil the play.
However, were scoring from a set
play at center rarity the effort
would still be worth while. At a
given signal all five men are pre-
pared to do a prearranged thing,
and this team spirit and mutual
help is we'll worth cultivating in
basket ball. All other things being
equal, the team that is best pre-
pared will win. All plays should
be simple and, as stated before, linn.
tied in number. 1t is we'll worth
remembering that the more hands
the ball passes through, the greater
the chance for misplay.

ANOTHER JUMP AHEAD

Mayor "Live Wire" Nelson is again
two jumps ahead of the rest of us in
his plans for a bigger and better
St. Paul.
Last week the mayor accepted the
music for a city march, Forward
St. Paul." written by Oscar F.. Baum
and submitted the matter to the coun-
Gil for approval. But the council is
not as spry as the mayor. It has
hardly recovered from the Nelson
conceived birthday party, and is not
quite ready for another hot civic i'm
provement idea. So the march hangs
awhile.
To say that there has been "some-
thing doing" in the mayors Office
since Arthur E. Nelson was elected
is merely repeating what everybody
knows is true. Mayor Nelson is an
executive not of whom the "city may
expect great things" but to whom
the city is already greatly in debt for
the things he has done. .
