CHE WHY of
SUPERSTITIONS
THE RED-HAIRED MAN
By H. IRVING KING

IN SECTIONS of the country where
hunters most abound it is con.
sidered unlucky for a hunter to meet
redhaired man when he sets out
upon his hunting expedition. The
part played by the red-haired man in
the world of folklore is one which
has been the subject of much learned
investigation. That many ancient
peoples sacrificed red-haired men to
their gods is a wel-known fact.
1t was formerly the theory of an
thropOlogists that this was because to
those peoples red-haired men were
strangers, they themselves being dark
haired, and in those days strangers
and enemies were synonymous. But
Sir James Frazer, who is the great.
est living authority on such matters
is Of the opinion that among the an
clients the red-haired man represented
the "cOrn-spirit," the color of his hair
corresponding to that Of tic ripened
grain, and points out how In Egypt
red-haired men were annually sacri-
feed at the shrine of Osiris and, the
body being burned, the ashes were
scattered over the fields to insure a
satisfactory crop. The idea was that
of the dying god-the death of grain,
its sowing as seed and its resurrec-
ton in the form of a new crop. Sir
James has written at considerable
length upon the relation between the
red-haired man in antiquity and the
grain-spirit and casts doubts upon the
stranger theory of the sacrifice of
the red-haired. He relies mostly up
on Egyptian mythology and ritual.
But perhaps Sir James and those
anthropologists who differ with him
are both right, partially. What was
true in Egypt may not have been true
in those European regions from
which we most -directly inherit our
folklore traditions.
In the latter the stranger" theory
perhaps prevailed. IT, as Maspero
says, "a study Of modern super
stitiOns will enable us to correct the
past by the present" this superstition
of the hunters, that it is unlucky to
meet a redhaired man, would appear
to prove the stranger" theory with
regard to our European ancestors. A
red-halred man was a stranger, a
stranger was an enemy. To meet an
enemy when starting on hunting ex-
pedtion bnded i'll luck, for his COM
panlons might be lurking about and

BASKET BALL RULES
CHANGED

Termed the most drastic change
made in the rules of the game
since it's inception, the joint bas-
ketball rules committee at its an
nual meeting Sunday, provided
for a new order limiting the drib-
BILE to a single bounce, thereby
eliminating it from further consid-
Grafton as an offensive factor in
the coaches plans for next season.
The new ruling aroused a
storm of protest from mentors
throughout the country, among
whom was DR.. James Naismith of
the University of Kansas, origi-
nator of the game 35 years ago.
DIR. Naismith declared the change
to be a decidedly backward step,
holding the dribble to have been
one of the spectacular features of
the game. -"
Among the supporters of the
new rule, however, is DIR. Walter
E.. Meanwell, a member of the
rules committee and famous coach
of the University of Wisconsin.
DIR. Meanwell said he was firmly
convinced that elimination of the
dribble would prove a boon to the
game.
He said the change would do
these things for the game:
Place basketball on team basis
in contrast to one man peri Drm-
ances. -l.
Save the game to the small clev-
err man now relocated to the show
ers.
Virtually eliminate 'stalling' by
the team in the lead.
Tend to eliminate the accidents
resulting from efforts to stop a
dribbler.
Eliminate 70 per cent of the
whistle blowing which now is caus-
ed by double dribbling.
Force coaches to perfect real
plays instead of being merely
bench warmers.
Take great burden off officials
who have had to decide when a
dribble was double and illegal.
Moderate the speed of the game
and give the lighter clever man a
chance to break through the de-
