Work of the Heart.

You know, of course, that the blood
Is in a state of constant motion
throughout the body and that it is the
job of the heart to keep it moving.
But Just how does the blood travel
and how does the heart do its work?
We often say that the heart beats,
but this is not strictly true, for 1t
does not sway backward and forward
like the beating of a pendulum IN o
clock. 1t contracts grows Smalier)
and expands grows 'c-3er) and these
movements are the as" to which
we refer. And they { esponsible for
forcing the blood Re heart and
receiving it into t. i, Just as q
sponge takes watel 1t expands
and expelS 1t when 5aueezed.
Let us keep an a the draw
ing and watch this 1th of blood
through the heart, IT, pump Of the
body. Impure blood from all parts Of
the body Is collected in a large vein,
called the vena cava, and enters the
heart on the right side into a small
reception chamber called the right
auricle. A small door. or valve, then
opens and allows the blood to now into
a larger chamber called the right
ventricle. The first valve then closes,
the heart contracts and forces the
blood through another door into two
arteries which lead to the right and
left lungs. Here the blood Is purified
and returned to the heart by means
Of two veins, the pulmonaries, and en-
ters the heart on the left side by means
of the left auricle.
Again the heart contracts and FORGET
the blood into the large chamber callei
the left ventricle. Another squeeze &

pure, leaves the heart by means of thu
branches and these branch of into

WINNING BASKET BALL
BY TOM F. McnTULLEN
Former OREGON State College Star and No1p Coach of Basket
Ball at State Teachers College, San Diego. Calf.

This week I want to give you some
hints on choosing players for various
positions on your basket ball team.
First of all, you should pick as center
the man who can get highest off the
floor. This does not always mean the
tallest player, for sometimes a shorter
ma can out-jump n who has an
inch or so more height. A center should
usually, however, be tall and rangy,
with lots of spring In his legs so that
he car get up in the air. He should
also be a nan who can give signals
well, as he will start most Of the plays.
The boy who wishes to be a success
full center must be an all-around player.
He must be able to shoot well, for he
has an important place in a teams at
tack, but he must also be clever at
guarding.
The first and chief qualification Of a
forward is that he be a good shot. If
he has this ability, it matters little
| whether he is short or tall, but in any
case he should be fast and shifty. If
he is small, he will need all the more
speed and stiffness on his feet.
Every forward should be able to drib-
BILE well, and should be a good shot
| from out IN the floor as well as under
i AAC ooNC - JOA AAoFC q HA0yO4 WIN
shoots with his left hand, be sure to
play him at left forward.
Weight and the ability to keep his
feet are important points that a good
guard should possess, but the best
guards also have a certain temperament.
They just seem to be natural defense
men-they are tenacious, logged and
hard to move. Speed, Of course, Is a
good characteristic for any guard to
have, and shooting ability is also desir-
able. At. least one Of your guards
should be an able long shot, and this
man should be the one who goes farth-
est down the floor on the offense.
Now that you have learned something
of the general principles Of basket bali,
and have studied how to acquire indi-
| vidual proficiency at the game, it is
time that we considered the working of
the players as a unit: in other words
team play.
You should depend mainly IN a pass
ing attack. Try to get the ball on the
tipof at center, work 1t into the basket
on several cross passes, and complete

final score of "a to 10. Under ordinary
circumstances we should have more than

Although WI were good friends, Eddie
and I had never been boon companions,
but 1t happened that we sat together in

1t was apparent to me that Eddie was
taking things pretty hard.
Cheer up, Eddie" I said in a low
voice. This won't last. You'll get
used to it before long"
He let something like a groan escape
his lips.
"You don't know me, Bill" he said
desperately. I'm the limit. I just lose
all control of myself when I hear that
word"
"Well, I don't blame you much" I
said cheerfully. "But we all know the
story, and nobody thinks anything about
it. It's n Of those kid things that
don't matter, so just forget it,"

James M. Lang, z. who served the

Bank of Sullivan as president for
nearly twenty-five years, has adj
nitted on the witness stand in
Knox circuit court here that he
dated back" a, receipt for 100000
in Liberty Bonds to deceive internal
revenue agents on an income tax
return.
William J. Abbott, Spencer is
suing the banks receiver, Ben G.
Crowder, for 100000, declaring it
represents that amount in. bonds
which the bank never returned to
him. Lang, first witness for the de-
tense, asserted the bonds had been
returned and the receipt has been
offered in evidence.
The banks former president testi-
fed that although the receipt bears
the date of Nov. II, 1925, it was
really written May II, 1927. He ex-
planned the discrepancy in dates as
designed to show revenue men that
Abbott did not possess the bonds on
the May date.

Evidence showed King first came

not long in arriving. Under various
names he received checks from
Kings aliases and made deposits.

A short time later a forged check
