pionship career, seeming to ease his
way along the route of a mile and a
half. which he covered 100 yards

Tips on Playing Basket Ball;
Correct Rule interpretations
BY ED THORP-

y Now that the amateur n rule:
have been changed so that
the ball is given to the offended
team out of bounds on all violations,
utof-bounds plays are OF greatest
Importance. AS previously stated,
the ball should be put in play quick
ly. This prevents the defense from
forming.
If the officials whistle blows be-
cause of violation when the ball
is passed out of bounds, the players
of the side that did not commit a
violation should rush for positions
Then, as soon as the ball is turned
over by the official, or recovered,
the play can start.
Should the officials decision give
the opponents the ball after it has
been secured by your team, the
player of your side holding the ball
should delay as much as possible so
that your defense will have time to
form. Get the jump on the defense
OF your opponents when it is your
ball out of bounds. When it is
theirs form your defense quickly.

I tell you it was no fun to sit
up there on the shaking elephant
and see that awful beast rushing
at us and imagine that when he
had killed the elephant he would
start after us.
The native, guided the elephant
over by a tree. There was moth
ing to do but just wait and see
what happened.
The rhinoceros gave a tremen-
dous lurch, aiming his horn at
the breast of the elephant, when
our willy native gave Jumbo
quick jab with a sharp prong he
had in his hand.
Jumbo swerved to one side and
back to the tree The rhinoceros
made an attempt to follow in the
same direction and with all the
power of his huge body thrust
himself forward-then he gave a
terrific roar. .--
What do you think he had
done?
He hadn't plunged his tusk into
JumbO-he had missed him-and
had thrust it right straight into
the tree. 1t had gone in with
such force that it had made a
wide split in the tree.
How angry the rhinoceros was!
He snorted and howled and
rOared as he tried to wrench him
self loose. In his anger and
fright he gave one tremendous
twist and Off snapped his tusk.
1t was a lucky thing for us
that he did, because he quickly
went numbering through: the
jungle bowling like a whipped
dog.
What a relief to us! We got
down and with a sharp knife cut
the tusk out of the tree and
brought it home and had it
mounted, and-wcll. there you
