More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES ]. MONTAGUE
TWAS EVER THUS

WAO EVEN 1L1OkO
In Ur, I supposed, lovely woman first
found
That Nature had poorly endowed
her
With what she called charm, ana
began looking around
For the earliest lipstick and powder
I fancied the cave ladies only took
thought
For the tasks sin the line of their
duty,
And never Jared forth from their
caverns and sought
To add to stfeir natural beauty.
But now, SO profound arcneologists
say,
The pitiful feminine creatures
Who lived in that Dygone and little
known day
Were accustomed to furbish their
features.
Finding powdery pigments, on broken
stone chips,
They hazard the venturesome
guesses ss
That the danes of the cave ages
painted their lips
And possibly marcelled their tresses.
It is easy to, see how a maiden might
fear
She was losing a bit of her glamour
When the lad whose affections she
held the most dear
Walloped some other girl with a
hammer.
The small green-eyed monster who
dwelt in her breast
Forthwith became eagerly active,
And thereafter she carefully painted
and dressed
To make her sweet self more
attractive.
No doubt her allure was enhanced
by the dyes
In the eyes of brawny thewed
lover,
And the more she awakened his awe
and surprise
The more he would think and dream
of her.
And though-as with girls of today
is the case
All make up was looked on as
horrid,
The girl who went round with the
brightest hued face
Received the most bumps on her
forehead.

LETTERN'
AZN 1
BY RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON = Historians may
credit great and good works to the
present administration, but in these
annals will be recorded few mighty
deeds of tact.
Of tht official family, as honest
a group as Diogenes ever could hope
to find, few members, have. developed
that grace and caution of speech
which save a man from regretting
or denying what he has spoken.
Recent utterances of the two new
prohibition chiefs call this to mind.
Prohibition Commissioner j. M. Dor
an, until recently a retiring, hard
working chemist engaged in preparing
alcohol fornulae to defeat the hosts
of bootleggery summarized the beer
situation the other day after survey
in the larger mid-Western cities.
DR.. Doran announced that the beer
on sale now was very bad. The
price of beer had been forced up to
25 cents a glass, "an awful price tc
pay for beer" Brewers were persuad-
ing the public to accept near beer
at the rate of 100000 barrels a
year.
DR.. Doran, to be sure, probably
will learn more as he goes along
Speakeasy beer, always terrible, al
ways has. sold for 25 cents a glass
and customers commonly understand
it is near beer needed" with al
cohol.
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Seymour LOWman started his troubles
with his first two public announce
ments. In the first, he criticized
'fanatical vets and fanatical dryS',
and then was understood to have
said that he had given up hope OF
enforcing prohibition in New York.
His first statement aroused the ire
of both vets and drys, and the
second utterance brought the drys
clamoring about his ears for ex-
plantations.
But LoWnan's and Doran's bad
breaks are mentioned first only be-
cause they have been recent Other
administrators also have
laid themselves open to criticism.
None other than Secretary Mellon
made a remark or two about the
British debt that sent the British
government higher into the air than
ever could fly and brought
a bomb crashing about Melons facts
and figures.
Secretary Kellogg is on the list
for his refusal to allow aviators Of
the Houston (Tex) Chamber of Com
merce to make a goodwill flight TO
Mexico City, because such flight
would ieopardize the larger inter-
eSts" Of this country.
Disregarding the effect of the state
ment on whatever friendly feeling
Mexico might entertain for her north
ern neighbor, everyone in this coun-
try promptly assumed that Kellogg's
larger interests" meant ''big inter-
ests," hence oil. Whereas the secre-
tary meant nothing of the sort.
Secretary Wilbur has had his mo-
ments, too. There is no need to
bark back to the political speech
which the president himself had to
suppress. Recently his rebuke of the
two Pacific fliers for sending out
En- sos just when they expected to
[all into the middle of the ocean,
has been added to the classics.

JaCkman Provides Thrills in
Game With Marquette
at Armory.

certain young man, answering
to the name of Willis Jackman. and
who performed in the capacity of
forward for Butler Colleges basket
ball team Monday night against
Marquette University at the Armory
was the main reason for the In
dianapolis schools 1880 victory over
its Wisconsin rivals.
There was nothing about thegame
until .Jacl1man entered into active
competition that would merit men4
ton. The shooting was ragged and
the f1oorwork poor. Chadd, Butler
floor guard. and Bill Bugg seemed to
be the only players capable of
handing the ball with any degree OF
success.
Both teams missed dozens OF shots
Jackman injected into the fray near
the end Of the first half put his team
into the lead, 1912, with a pretty
field goal.
That same Jackman got hot" in
the final period and added five more
goals to his total. lie gave his team
a nice lead and continued to show
a sparkling brand OF floor work.
Marquette started a rally as the
game drew a close, but inaccurate
shooting lessened their chances for
victory and gave Butler possession of
the ball. Banner was the best bet
for the Wisconsin crew. tallying six
field goals and two free throws.
Summary:
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-01-11
Guard Must Stay Between His Man and Basket
Most Fundamental

One OF the first and most i'm
portant fundamentals of individual
guarding is that the guard should
play between his man and the basket
If he so places himself. he is able
to see the ball and cover his man
as well. He can watch ball. but at
the same time be aware of any
movement which his opponent makes
and can shift his position accord
ingly.
Failure to observe this fundamen-
tai OF guarding has cost many a
basket.
The illustrative pictures portray
one very common mistake in this
connection. The guard (see illustra-
ton No. u has posted himself in an
improper position; he is not between
his man and the basket, and so can
not see the ball and his man at the
SetIIle time.
He is watching the ball and point
ing at his opponent, who is slightly
behind and to his left. This mis-
take can very easily be observed by
anyone who cares to look for 1t in
the average basketball game. Point
ing at a man doesn't cover him.
Illustration No. shows the for
ward starting his break for the bas-
ket. The guard, watching the ball,
is evidently aware that something is
about to happen. But before he quite
senses the situation, the forward has
the jump on him and is on his way
to the basket. Too late, the guard
discovers this fact and makes a
strenuous effort to stop the pass to
his man.
Illustration No. shows the usual
result Of such improper guarding.
The forward has earned a sufficient
advantage, so that the efforts of the
guard are in vain. The basket is
made.
