CENTRAL WINS

Local Basketball Teams Make
Fine Start By Taking Games
In Two Classes.

Central Unions "A" and &C
basketball teams got away to fly
ing starts last night when thel

and 2l-l9 in the local gymnasium

sters will be hard to beat this sea
son.
The Glass A game was a rather
tame affair with the SpartanS DOM
mating the play throughout. The
CalexicanS seemed unable to get
the range on the basket with any
success and the first quarter ended
with the score 100 in favor of
the locals.
Calexico furnished a little oppo-
sition for the second period but
at no time threatened seriously to
cut Gown the commanding lead
taken by the Cent. ai'tcs. Half time
score vas 1876 During the last two
periods the Spartans kept the up
pcr hand and dominated the play
throughout.
Philbrick with 9 field goals TO
his credit was high scorer of the
game while Robes snagged five
to lead his team in the scoring
Neither team seemed able to rrofit
by the extra throws awarded on
fouls, FL Centre caging but three
and the CaleXicans one.
Game Is Thriller
The Glass c miXup was thriller
from start to finish with the score
zigzagging back and forth so often
as to keep the spectators dizzy
watching the scoreboard. Coach
Ketchen's youngsters got the jump
with field goal and added anoth-
er for good measure before the
border city boys got limbered up.
Then two goals in succession for
the visitors knotted the score. El
Centre took the lead and Calexico
by a free throw brought the first
quarter score to 6-5 in favor of
the locals.
This ratio was maintained for
the second period when the score
stood 1919 in favor of the Central
boys.
Early in the third period the
lead changed twice until near the
end of that quarter Central drop
ped in two field goals in sue
cession to pile up five point ad-
vantage as the third quarter ended.
The last quarter was warm
session with both teams playing to
the limit either to tie up the count
or get into the lead. A field goal
broke tie and put the locals
into a 21-l9 lead which they de-
Tended valiantly in the closing
seconds of the game.
DoXey and Gum with four field
goals each were high scorers for
the Central team while Stinson
netted three field and one free
goal to lead his team. The game
was hard fought and extremely well
played.

II ing will be taken July Is, with
\ the beginning of the flrst
commercial series of inter-
national broadcasts from Europe.
This pioneering is deemed feasible
after six years Of research and ex-
perimentation by N. B. G. engineers
had made fairly accurate prediction
of transmission quality on any given
date.
Since 1923 engineers and research
experts have been conducting tests
and keeping daily logs and charts OF
the effectiveness of short-wave trans
mission between the United States and
Europe. The result is the discovery
that satisfactory transatlantic trans
mission is largely dependent upon
magnetic conditions. BY chartlng
periods of rotation to which magnetic
disturbances are subject, the engineers
have also been able to plot the prob
able course of such disturbances.
Can Forecast Reception.
BY correlating these charts and
other factors such as seasons, time
d. of day and wave lengths, the engineers
have been able to forecast the prob
able quality of reception at any given
future date and hour.
The accuracy of these forecasts
has been tested. and it is upon these
results that faith in the quality OF
the reception forecast for the period
during which the Gulf International
series will be coming over. is based.
Barring such unpredictable things
as sporadic storms which defy all
charts. the variety program featuring
such stars as Gertrude Lawrence,
Tilley and many others. will be trans
mitted to American listeners.

1t seems as though football has done its part to keep
up with the new features Of streamllnlng. The shape OF
the ball has been changed SO that it is less like the shape
of an egg and more like a modern torpedo and can be
thrown through the air at great speed and accuracy.
The new ball according to announcement OF w l.
Langford, secretary of the rules committee, will have a
circumference at the short axis of not less than 214 in
ches nor more than PIP inches, as compared with the old
ball that had a minimum measurement OF IL inches and q
maximum of POI 2 inches. In other words the new 1884 ball
will be saller anywhere from three quarters to a full inch.
believe this will cause the punt chasers to do more
lodging of punts than ever before. They have been dodg-
ING quite a bit in the last few years. The ball VIII not
have the same bounce. The quarter can only hope and
pray when the ball hits the ground. It will also bring out
the punting qualities Of the best kickers, because 1t will
produce lots mors more distance and require more con-
troll.
We can only hope for the best t oturn out in the foot
ball world. If they keep on doctoring the game, it won't be
long before old time thrills will be gone from the game.
Coach Lou Little, of Columbia, says that the ball will
bring four major results. He says, first, it will be a mar,
rover ball and will initiate against accuracy in drop and
place kicking. Second, it will punt further, especially
against the wind but its ~lightness and narrowness Will
place an unusual strain on accuracy. Third, OF course II
will be much easier to pass and it will be thrown stralght
and further. Fourth a punter will be able to kick further
with it on wet days. 80 ~

COURSES TO BE

Municipal golfers of Omaha are
gclng to find their Fairgrounds few
and far between during the early
part of of the summer but the marx
department promises that the in
~donveniences suffered will be only a
drop in the bucket compared with the
rich rewards the linksmen will reap
late in the season.
There will be no golf on Elmwood
Park links before July 1, since con-
struction of the new layout has en-
tailed almost complete demolition of
the former course. Park commits
sioner Frank Frost has a full crew at
wok but the extent of the enovation
wok pobably will keep them busy at
least until July, possibly until late
in the month.
The new Carter Lake course will not
be ready this year. Several greens
have been installed but the course
will not be groomed until next fall.
The new Benson course is all built
and will be seeded as 500 mas warm
weather arrives. 1t may be opened
in July.
Spring Lake, the links that have
been a headache to the department
for several years, may become a
reality some time during the sum
mer. The greens and tees are all
finished and seeking operations fini-
shed will, get under way in a few
weeks.
The status Of Miller parks links
is uncertain. All of the greens have
been graded up and made larger and
rolling. If these carpets are planted
they will not be open until July. 1t
is possible that some of the old Elm
wood greens will be transplanted at
Miller, in which event the course
should be eady within the month.
