the DOPE
SIGH Animal
By vEDDER G ARD

I'D saw a new basketball the
NXJI other day and like the
w farmer who looked at the
giraffe at the circus and exclaimed,
There amt no SIGH animal" we
said, ''That can't be possible"
There were no laces on the ball,
Just the seams-nothing to give an
indication of how the ball had
been blown up. Upon closer ex-
animation a small hole was dis
covered in the side. Still we were
much at sea until Guy Houck OF
the Goldsmith Company explained
the phenomenon.
1t seems that this sporting
goods company has been working
on the idea for some time and
finally has perfected the ball.
Tho rubber valve, Which iii the
ordinary ball extends outward
from tile bladder, in the latest
wrinkle extends INWARD. The
valve tube is inside the bladder.
The rubber around the valve is
much thicker than the remainder
and then next to the leather is a
piece of canvas, which is vulcan
ized to the rubber and cemented
to the outside leather covering.
The rubber tube or valve Is
flexible and bends upward. When
the air is. pumped into the ball
the valve bends and closes on the
inside. The air pressure against
the bent rubber valve keeps 1t
tightly closed. All one has to do Is
insert a pump into the small open
ing to initiate the ball. The main
difficulty in making the ball was
in getting the bladder inside the
ball and finding a method of sew
ing UP the leather.
In the first process of manu-
facture the valve is cemented in
place. 1t sticks so tightly that
the bladder can be torn apart and
the valve portion will still adhere
to the leather. The leather Sec
tons are sewed into place wrong
side out with the exception of
small space and then the cover is
turned right side out.
The remaining space is sewed/
from the OUTSIDE. In the ball
we saw one could not tel this
section from the remainder.
The Goldsmith representative
stated that there is only one
man in their factory at present
who can do this part of the job.
He is now teaching the others.
The final magic touch is the tie
ing of the ends of thread inside
the cover while working from the
outside. A double knot is tied.
No matter how it is all done it
is a rather remarkable achieve
ment. The ball will not be ready
for distribution until next fall. 1t
is handled here by the Em-Roe
Sporting Goods Company. The
name of the ball will be the Lace
less Gold Seal.
The ball is perfectly round.
There is absolutely nothing to In
terfere with the symmetry. The
company manufacturing the ball
claims to have tested it in every
conceivable fashion and found no
weakness.

Here's the way they look:
Wisconsin to defeat Chicago

Illinois to defeat Ohio by

Indiana to defeat Iowa Ivy

Purdue to defeat Northwest

7UD TAYLOR, the Hoosier
Xxi boxer who is out on the
Coast now, was rated third
among the bantams by Tex Rick
ard. That is quite a boost for the
popular Terre Haute mauler. The
only two put above Bud in Tex's
selections were Chick Suggs and
Bushy Graham. Taylor is placed
above the champion, Charley
PhiD Rosenberg, who is fourth.
Taylor is not rated IN lne
featherweight class, although, Nc
Larnin is placed third. The
Hoosier only the other day de-
feated the coast sensation on
points. Taylor can make both
weights, but he steps into tough
competition I'M the feather class
against such men as Kaplan, Her
man, Garcia and others. At that
is appears as though Taylor should
be among the first ten.
1t is said Bud does not find it
easy to make the bantam limit.
If it ever becomes necessary for
Taylor to fight only in the feather
class he is likely to run into plenty
of trouble.
Reports from California are
that the Indiana boy is very popu-
lar out there and making plenty
of money. 1t is likely to be
long time before Hoosiers see him
in action again around here.

SCHOOL LEADS
TOWNS ASSETS

KINGSVILLE, Tex, April "a
An industrial school for Mexican
boys, the Tex-Mex Industrial Insti-
tute, is maintained by the Presbyter-
ian Synod, just three miles south Of
Kingsville.
The Tex-Mex Industrial Institute is
engaged in a work that could be
copied prOfitably by many larger in
situations and should form'a part of
the educational plans of every town
and city on the Mexican border. This
school undertakes the training and
fitting of the young Mexican for
higher education in American schools.
Its enrolment is composed entirely OF
Mexican boys. Through an ingenious
| arrangement of the school faculty even
the poorest of Mexican boys can at.
tend this school. Tuition is placed
at 5000 per year and covers all
charges. But if this amount should
be more than the parents can afford
it is possible to enter the boy for
800 provided he is willing to work
portion of each day.
III duullIbl W elementary anu leCu-
nical school work practical training
along craftsmanship lines is given.
The school has n printing shop where
practically every piece of literature
distributed by the Presbyterian ALI
ance in Texas and surrounding states
is printed. This is one of the finest
job printing establishments in the
South and the quality of work com
pares favorably with that of large
printing establishments. Another evil
dence of the industry of these young
sters is seen in the large hollow tile
and stucco school building which was
erected at a fraction of the cost OF
similar structures. This building has
a seating capacity Of $50 and was
erected by school labor working under
the direction Of brick laying CON
tractor; a manual training teacher
and one skilled laborer. The building
is insured for more than twice the
cost of construction.
DIR. J. W. Skinner is president o.
the institute and retains a faculty Of
eight capable instructors. The school
has only been in operation a little bet.
