Katherine Ernshercer

IN @8A 1917
AUBURN, N. Y.-A bronze medal
awarded by the Carnegie Hero Fund
Commission proves that nine-year-
old Katherine Ernsberger is a hero
inc
Katherine is little. but she was
big enough to say a grown-up from
drowning.
She did it when she dived off the
dock at OWasco Lake last Labor
Day and saved the life of Mrs.
Louise Westlake, 81, of Auburn. She
saw the woman go down and she
swan out to her, went under water
and brought her up, and towed her
ashore.
Katherine learned to swim with
the Girl Scouts when she was eight,
but she isn't an expert swimmer.
But she had learned something
about life saving and about first aid
to the drowning.
THE first thing I thought Of"
said Katherine. was the motto we
learned: Keep cool in danger Mrs.
Westlake was unconscious when |
grabbed her, and she was pretty
heavy. But it wasn't so hard tow
ing her to shore
Little Miss Ernsberger is the
youngest of sixteen persons whose
acts of heroism were recognized in

IN HIGH SCHOOL SERIES

Both Of the principal contenders for
the high school basket ball champion
ship have games in the series tomor-
row. Western being slated to face the
last-place Tech Quint and Eastern the
Business tossers. The contests will
be held in Central Coliseum, the first
starting at 3:15 o'clock.
Should Western win and Eastern be
defeated the Quints would be tied for
the league lead. An Eastern victory,
however, will all but cltnch the cham
pionship for that team.
Next weeks high school series
games will not be played at Central
Coliseum, as that floor Is to be used
for other purposes, and there will be
no double-headers. Tuesday Eastern
and Western probably will clash at
Central High School. while Tech and
Central likely will meet in the Busi-
Eess High gymnasium. No arrenge-
ments have been made for the ac-
commodation of the other games.
Tech boys took the measure of the
ST. Adams team yesterday in a 45-to-
Is encounter. Adams, Tech center,
with six field goals. led both teams
at scoring.
Y. nj. G. 4. Day school defeated the
Western High reserves in a 2S-to-13
engagement. Angel starred for the
Y quint. while Nordiinger did some
excellent playing for the Westerners.

AS soon as it becomes apparent
that the goal is missed. the free
thrower breaks to the side of the
court opposite to that occupied by
his opponent His teammate, who
has been playing ten feet out from
him, now cuts into the lane to re-
ceive the ball, should it bound di-
rectly back. Should the ball drop to
either side, the tall men on the
lanes should jump for it either to
play it back into the basket or to
tap it to the side now occupied by
the free thrower.

DECLARES GERMANY
HAS DEFAULTED IN
DELIVERY OF COAL
French Action Regarded BY
British as Attempt to
Strengthen Claim.

Paris. Jan. 2.-France has asked the
Preparations commission to declare Ger
many in voluntary default of her coal
deliveries, which it is claimed have been
running much below the schedule framed
at the Spa conference in 1920, Louis
Barthou, president of the commission,
and French delegate. asked that the
question be discussed at the regular
meeting next Friday.
This step is regarded IN British CIR
cles as at attempt to strengthen the
French claim, as when the commission
last week declared Germany in volun-
tary default of her timber deliveries
the British delegate is reported to have
agreed that the value of the deliveries
of S50O.OO0 appeared rather insisnifi-
cant as the basis for such drastic action.
The amount involved in the shortage
of coal deliveries also is placed at S0OO,-
900.
The rpparationS commission. it is I'M
derstood, has been reliably informed that
Germany has lately been obliged to i'm
port large consignments OF coal from
the United Kingdm and the British
delegation is of the opinion that the
schedule Of deliveries from Germany 10
France is too severe.
The feeling is also expressed in Brit
ish reparatiOns circles that the repara
lions problem has for the time being
been taken out of the commission
hands by the Allied premiers and should
the coal question come up on Friday
they are prepared TO recommend that II
be postponed until the premiers ad

Gems are variously estimated at 2,00O,-
