Scots Balk at Fee
to See Scone Stone

London.-Scotsmen, through one OF
their members In parliament, are
kicking because they, among others,
must pay sixpence when visiting
Westminster abbey to view the Stone
of Scone, which forms the seat of the
coronation chair. According to legend,
this stone was Jacobs pillow at
Bethel, and In the year $40 1t was
taken to Scone, In Scotland, from
Tara, home of the Irish kings. All
the Scottish kings were crowned on
1t until 1895, when Edward the First
Of England had 1t brought to West
minister, where all the British SOW
ereigns have since been crowned.
The Scotsmen admit that, in view
Ing the stone, one gets a lot of his
tory for 'saxpence." Nevertheless,
they want parliament to prevail upon
the Westminster clergy to permit the
public to view the "Stone of Destiny"
for nothing. or send 1t home to Scot
land, where it belongs.
The English argument is that In
England the stone is In its proper
setting, inasmuch as 1t seems to be
fulfilling the old prophecy that, where
the Stone of Scone rests, there the
Scottish race shall rule.

Pennant Plays in Basketball
BY COACH J, CRAIG RUBY
(Illlnols.. Big Ten Champions)


 In this play the ball istlpped diag- onally forward to the left,
 The right forward takes the ball at that point and dribbles toward the left forward who has faked into the center and then retreated to the sideline and receives the pass from the right forward. In the meantime the center has gone out of the center ring quickly and has run for tho basket as fast as possible He should arrive there by the time that the left forward is ready to pass to him.
 The whole play Is based on the idea that the offensive center will bs able to get to his basket before the opposing center can stop him.
 At least three Western Confer ence teams used this play or one similar during the 1924 season for scores.
