VOU didn't have to be crazy to
Il play basketball in the Gay
Nineties, but it helped. It was a
slow, ponderous game then, accord
ing to DR.. James L. link, of In
dianapolis, but it was brutal.
DR.. link, jovial little fellow
who looks something like Santa
without the whiskers, is an abso-
lutte authority on the subject. In
fact, he is, in a large measure, re-
sponsible for the amazing develop
ment of the game in Indiana.
The sport was born about this
season of the year back in 1888 Col
lege football players, having fin
ished a season of regulated may
hem, began to be restless.
School authorities wouldn't let
them play football in the gymnasi-
unls, which were given over at that
time to such diversions as Indian
club swinging and various modifi-
cations of ring around the-rosy"
The boys sat around in the frater-
nifty houses and worried for fear
they would get out of training be-
fore baseball started in the spring
ITO bridge this void in the ath-
l. letes' lives. DR.. James Mai
smith, of the Springfield, (Mass.)
Y. M. G. A., hung couple of peach
baskets on the walls of that gym
nasium, and invited the boys to try
tossing ball into them.
At first footballs were used, but
since they took weird bounces, it
was decided to use modified rugby
ball. There was no limit on the
number of players originally as long
as the sides were even, but This led
to over-crowding. After a season
Of experimenting, it finally was
agreed that five men to a team
would be enough
The game just had reached this
stage of development when w. A.
McCulloch organized an Indianap-
oils Y. M C. A squad in 1891.
When DR.. link, then a physical
education director at Indiana Uni
versity, came to Butler in 1895, he
organized one of the first college
basketball teams in the country.
THE Blue and White gymnasium
u had large pillars in the middle
of the floor, and the boys still used
peach baskets the first year. Iron
hoops with nets finally were
adopted, DR.. link said, but it wasn't
until several years later that the
blackboard was put into the game.
Butler played the local Y. NJ. C. A.
team the first year and took a beat
ing, but by 1898 the squad had be-
come better organized and was rec
ognized as one of the best teams in
| the country Wabash took up the
sport in 1896 and Ralph Jones or
ganized the first high school team
at Shortridge shortly before the
turn of the century.
The game was played almost ex-
clusively by football players of the
period, and while these gentlemen
were strong and brave, as a class,
they were not noted for intelligence.
II always had lot of trouble
teaching the boys to dribble," DR.
link said. Many of them never
learned, and they had to advance
the ball by rolling it along the
floor

TETOVO, Yugoslavia, December II
Claiming to be the oldest man in
Yugoslavia, 127-year-old Jovan Stan
kovitch credits plum brandy and to-
bacco" as being chiefly responsible fol
his longevity
Food is a secondary matter" STAN
kovitch observed.
Stankovitch has lived all his life in
this town, in the south of Yugoslavia
He is soon to become a great-great-
grandfather and is still personally
attending the little patch of land
which he owns.
Father Jovan," as he Is generally
called by his fellow townpeople, likes
to talk about the days Of Turkish
domination, when he was regarded
as the champion wrestler Of the dis
trict and was envied for his great
strength.
Once when attacked by four Turks
he said, he disarmed them easily and
broke their rifles with his powerful
hands.
Now Father Jovan" is exercising
another notable feat. He is credited
with being able to forecast the wealth
er for "a hours, ascribing this ability
to the sensitive nature of his bones.
Others, however, said that his corns
are responsible.
Local farmers say they prefer Jo-
vans weather forecasts to those of the
Belgrade meteorological station.

Mrs. Ford emphatically stated the

To prepare subject for the lie
detector a rubber tube (pneumograph)
is placed around the chest and blood
pressure cuff of the type used by
physicians is attached to the upper

The "lie detector" is permitted to
record for several minutes during
which no questions are asked. This
establishes normal curve as a basis
for which to calculate deviations.
Irrelevant questions are asked trSt,
followed by mixture of relevant and
irrelevant ones. Each query Is brief
and calls for a Eyes" or mo" answer.
All questions are asked with the same
speed. volume and infection OF voice.

TRENTON, N. j., December IL
Bruno Richard Hauptmann's ex-
pressed wish to undergo lie detector
test in an effort to prove his mno-
cence in the Lindbergh baby kidnap-
murder brought no immediate re-
Spouse from New Jersey authorities
today.
ct don't want to comment now,
was the answer of Gov. Harold e.
Hoffman, to whom the convicted muir
derer of Charles A. Lindbergh, jr., ad-
dressed his appeal. Other officials, IN
Guiding Attorney General DaVlo l.
Wilentz. chief prosecutor OF Haupt-
mann, also were silent.
Hauptmann made his request IN
letter which Gov. Hoffman made pub
lie yesterday.
Wants Truth Shown.
"I assure your excellence, had I any
r1lilty feeling in this terrible crime
/ would not trouble your excellence
with this request" Hauptmann wrote.
But since it is my deepest desire to
proof to your excellence and the world
that I have spoke the truth, would
be very thankful for permitting any
able persons, whom are free OF any
opinion in this case, to take a test
with a so-called lie detector, serum,
or whatever science may offer"
He suggested also that DR.. John F.
F,;o Af 1noY o.
gotiations, submit to similar test.
II have a deep interest" he said,
'in what kind of force made him
change his saying. Because when he
was visiting me in my Pennington
cell he said all excited to the prosecu-
tori cannot testify against this
man."
"Joke" to Jafsie.
Condor, reached between perform
ances in a Lynn. Mass, theater,
termed the suggestion a good joke"
and defense fireworks"
"I think I've already submitted to
about everything except death" he
said. II know 1 told the truth and
that's all there is to it. I'm not on
trial. I have no statement to re-
tract, exchange or change"
Hauptmann's defense counsel, mean
while, decided at a conference in
Somerville to apply to the Court OF
Pardons for relief" They declined
to say what they meant, but it was
understood they would seek commuta-
ton of the death sentence to life
imprisonment.
Hauptmann'S attorneys, as well as
Gov. Hoffman, Col. Mark o. Kim
berling, principal keeper at the State
Prison, and Ellis Parker, Burlington
County detective chief, denied pub
lished reports Hauptmann had made
q partial confession" These reports
said he had admitted he and the
late Isador Fisch, his former busi-
ness partner, collected the $4,000
ransom, but were guiltless of the
actual kidnapping.
