IT SEEM s THAT
 REFEREE WASN'T so VERY GOOD
Nevertheless, Those Prep sters Shouldn't Be
 So Rough
RESULTS LAST NIGE- George Brothers 36, High School 20.
 Juneau Bremen 37, Moose 31 (overtime.)

It seems, ladies and gentlemen that the first game of last nights basketball doubleheader was fea- tured by some very bad officiat- ing.
 Now, inasnrc..l as the writer ol this article was the whistle-to -tooter in that game. this story is inclined to agree with that sentiment. De- cidedly so, the refereeing could have been improved upon.
 But, at the same time, it might be interesting to point out a few observations concerning that first game, won by George Brothers over Juneau High School, 36 to 20.
 The two teams left the floor at half time with the oh ampoi n George outfit leading, Is to 10 Up to that time, the preps were very much in the ball game Also, they were playing comparatively clean ball And, too, the referee although wincing now and then under a Bronx cheer or two wasn't faring so badly
 That same spirit of good hard play seemed to prevail for three minutes of the third quarter. The score favored the Green Shirts, Is to IA. Then. the High School lads started to play the same kind ot ball that has marked their games all season. They switched from a smart, clever, passing attack to a brand of sport which smacked greatly of football; crashing body contact style. From that point on, they were lost. The more experienced Green Shirts, sensing their foes had stopped playing basketball, quickly jumped into a good lead and held it all the way to the finish.
 Ten fouls-not nearly enough were called on the high schoo club. Only three were charged against the George Brothers team That wasn't enough, either But the foul calling, after all, didn' decide the game. The prepsters sunk two foul shots, and Greer Shirts collected but four from tht free throw lane.
 The whole thing dissolves to this this writer believes sincerely tha Juneau High Schools basketball team would be a much better tean if it would play more basketball and less football It is possible

two feet, placing the baskets twelve feet above the floor He would likewise raise the value of the field goal, scoring it as three points. And just for good measure, he sug- gestS that time be taken out after each score, while the ball is being put back in play.
 To prove the practicability of his proposed changes, Dr. Allen staged an exhibition game under his own rules between his Jayhawkers and the Kansas state team of Dr. James Naismith, the gentleman who some 35 years ago, invented the game of basketball when he hung a air of peach baskets on the walls of the gymnasium at Springfield Y. M c. A. College.
 Kansas State humbled Dr. AL lens champions, 39 to 35, in over time. States margin of victory would have been 28 to 26, had the game been scored under the cur rent rules. Time out after each score prolonged the game four and one half minutes.
 Dr. Naismith was inclined to side with the dissenting group, particu- larly objecting to heightening the baskets He pointed out that the change in the height of the bas kets would not only handicap the small group of exceptionally tall players, but also would place an even greater handicap on the many thousand shorter players.
 The matter will come up again at the annual meeting of rules committee when it meets in the spring. Until that time Dr. Allen 'ests his case on the showing of the demonstrative game.

 If the first half of last nights double bill disappointed the good crowd which attended, the second fracas certainly more than saved the day with a thrilling overtime battle won by the Juneau Fire men over Moose, 37 to 31.
 The Moose won their only game of the first half against the Fire men, 29 to 28. Again, last night, they seemed well on the road to duplicating that upset, when, at the start of the final quarter, they led, B to 19.
 But they reckoned not with the Fire Eaters, Baskets by Lawrence Hill, Stan Hill and Dick Gerwels gave the Firemen a 27-25 lead with two minutes to go. However, after several seconds of fierce play, Jerry Ledbetter, Moose forward, picked up the loose ball, with 50 seconds to go, swished through a long shot to make the count 27- all.
 So. the game went to overtime. Ledbetter contributed two more baskets during this period, but a battling Bremen team would not be denied and Lawrence Hill and Gerwels sparked them to final, 37-31 victory.

If it's possible to have closer score in a three-game bowling match than 1,452 to 1,450, it would be only-obviously-by one point But, nevertheless, that was the score last night at Elk Alleys as Team No. 2 nosed out Team No. in one of the openers of the Elks new mixed bowling competi- ton.
 The first game found Team No. l, thanks greatly to Martin Law enik's GOT effort, trimming Team No. 3, 1,426 to 1858. The finals went to Team No II in another close one; 1,361-1.30l decision over Team No. g.

Apparently, the spirit Of the times is not to "let well enough alone in sports. It's a case of changes, changes and more changes-mind you, not necessar- fly improvements.
 Take any sport and think Of the changes tha. have been proposed from time to time.
 The annual meeting of the 1n- tercollegiate football rules makers is the occasion for a rule chang ing spree. It may be anything from the size of the ball to the color of the umpire's tie-but there must be something new.
 Major league baseball moguls have great fun injecting more life into their baseballs or if the occasion demands it-reducing its liveliness.
 Certain boxing commissioner have not given up hope of dis covering a satisfactory system o. arriving at decisions at boxing bouts and to that end are willing to try new stunts as often as they can hold meetings to pass amend. ments.

It would seem the ancient game of golf would be immune, but in- deed it is not. Recall Gene Sara zen's attempt to sell the idea Of using an eight-inch cup. And some one is forever trying to figure out a better way of scoring. Just this year the method of play in the National amateur was switched from medal to match play.
 Basketball, too, has had it's share of tinkerers. Witness the latest experiments of the Forrest (Phog) Allen, whose University of Kansas Jayhawkers have been Big Six champions for the past four years. Dr. Allen would raise the hoops

years experience in making cheese
and looks forward to the Kerrich
community as better place than any
/ he has been in.
The plant is constructed out of tile
and is 2Sx4S feet in dimensions with
two stories. 1t has a boiler room
cheese making room; and a curins
room. The present equipment in
| cludes one vat with a capacity O
| 5000 pounds of milk daily but the
plant has been built large enough t.
accommodate two, 10.000-pound watts
The management invites the gen
eral public from far and near to cal
and inspect the plant in operation.

A surprise was treated to the young
folks and people of the Askov COM
munity this week when it was learned
that Mr.. Alex Madsen and Miss Elna
Nielsen had been Mr.. and Mrs. Alex

his work in the American plant as
nonchalantly as ever and Mrs. Madsen
has dealt out service to the custom
ers at Ottos Cafe in the same manner.
However. murder will OUT and the

were told of the incident and now the
young ones will have to walk the
straight and narrow path of married
folk and will take up housekeeping
in rooms above the Red & White
Store where they will be at home to
their many friends.
The bride has lived in the Askov
community the greater part of her
life and received her education both

and in the public school of Askov
where she was a member of the
high school graduating class of 1892
She has been employed the past two
years at Otto's Cafe and severed her

BOY FREES ROBIN,
BIRD BECOMES PET

There isn't any doubt in the
mind of Earl Larcom but that
birds are not only intelligent crea-
lures but are grateful for favors.
Earl did his Boy Scout good turn
recently when he saw a robin
caught high in a tree, hanging
by one leg with the other caught
by several pieces of cord. 1t would
have been impossible for the bird
to free itself He climbed into the
tree and while the bird pecked
away at his hand, not realizing
that the boy was trying to save its
life, Earl completed his task. Now
the robin is grateful, and to show
his appreciation is so tame that
it comes up to the back porch and
eats out of a little tin dish.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG STRANDvOLD

Last week it was limited here that
the new French government headed
by Fernand Bouisson was not likely TO
last very long. 1t didn't, for hardly
four days after its organization had
been completed, it went before the
chamber of deputies with demand
for dictatorial power which would en-
able it to stem the current of gold
flowing out of the Bank of France,
and was eliminated by a vote of no
confidence.
Last fall CASTOR Doumergue and his
government made an attempt to cb-
tain dictatorial power, and the same
thing happened. Two weeks ago
Pierre-Etienne Flandin, followed his
example and was voted down. Bouis-
son did not profit from the disappoint-
ment of his two immediate predeces-
sors, but boldly asked for unlimited
authority, but to no avail.
Laval Succeeds.
Pierre Laval, foreign minister in
the Flandin and Bouisson govern
ments, then was asked to head the
government; he accerted the task
and--he, too-appeared before the
chamber with a demand for dictator
ial fiscal authority. Where the 9th.
ers had failed. he succeeded; both the
chamber and the senate gave him al
overwhelming vote of confidence but
limited the period of financial dicta-
torship to five months and also speci-
fed that such power did not extend
beyond the fields of finance and eco
nomics. When Laval tried to per-
suade the legislators to start their
summer vacation immediately, the
chamber refused to recess. Evidently
it wants to make sure that the pre-.
mier does not abuse his authority.
