DEMOLAYS PUT

 BEAT EAGLES
F as t, Exciting Basketball Game Played Sabin s
 Lose to Krauses
RESULTS LAST NIGHT 7:30-DcMc,ay 49; Eagles 37. S:3G-Krauee Concrc.ers g.; Sa-
 bins IA.

The DeMolay basxeteers climbed ever one of the biggest hills on their road to a second half cham pionship when they downed the Douglas Eagles 49 to 37 at the high school gym last night. In the night cap, the Krause Concreters, playing very slowly, defeated the Sabin's entry 34 to A.
 The main event of the evening was of course, the opener, in which the fraternal lads completely ex- hausted their rivals in 40 minutes of gruelling basketball. Leading only 19 to 16 at the half, the Livie- men turned on the heat in the third frame and from then on, il was all DeMolay. Kinky Bayers bested his opposing center by sev- en points, scoring 19 markers for the evenings high. Mark Jensen however, while not only top scorer for the losers, continued his aggres- sive floor play, until the fade-out came in the last half. The De- Molay attack showed powerful scoring aggregation when E I'm T Lindstom, Bob Davlin and Al Bloomquist split 30 points to com plete the Masons' account.
 The score changed hands five times in the first half.
 Second Game Dull
 The Krause Concreters literally walked through their small oppon- ents in the 8:30 game. They led to 0 at the first quarter, when Paul Brown, Krause captain, hit the hoop four times. Ten points were credited to the Krausers be- fore the clothiers counted, and the half ended 19 to 2.
 Coming back after intermission, with only a third of the crowd that watched the first half, Sabin's gang warmed up and drifted through a careless defense to bring the count to 23 to at the begin ming of the last go-round. Dutch Behrends led the losers with 1C points. Dave Turner was the only other Sabin scorer. Brown and Heppenstall were the chief point makers for the winners. Sammy Nelson and Andy Johnson did not play.

SPORT SLANTS

There is nothing soft about the brand of runners Coach E. c. Hayes turns out at the University of In diana. The Hoosier mentor has de- veloped hardy track performers like H nry Brocksmith, Ivan Fuqua, Chuck Hornbostel, and now, Donald Lash.
 Last year as a supnomore Lash proved his right to place along side of those famous "double-up- 1 pers" who preceded him at Indiana when he won the Western confer ence mile and Emile championships the same afternoon. The caliber of the fields he had to beat in SCOT ing that double is best indicated by the fact that he was forced to hang up a new meet record of 4:14.4 for the mile and then come back with 9:231 race in the Emile.
 If anyone ever entertained any doubt about Lash's durability, such ideas vanished when the Hoosier runner successfully defended his National A. A. U. rosS-country championship over the hills of Van Cortlandt Park in New York City last fall. It was a bitter cold day with a biting gale sweeping the open field. About the only spec tators were officials and newspaper men. It was ideal pneumonia" weather, causing some way to re- mark that survivors medals should be awarded to the lightly clad lads who did not freeze to death.
 A Leading Two Miller
 Lash went right about his busi- ness of defending the championship he won over the same hills in 1884. From the opening gun there was little doubt that his laurels were safe. Running well within himself and unmindful of the un- favorable conditions, he stepped out in the last quarter mile to open up a safe lead over his weary pur- suers.
 He now looms up as one of the leading 2-milers in the country. With but little preparation for a hard race Lash won the Emile event at the Sugar Bowl games around the first of the year in 9:19.1.
 He has mapped out an ambitious indoor program which he hopes will help put him in shape for the Olympic tests later on. He hopes to match strides with the leading milers as well as the 2-milers. In the Millrose games in New York he plans to run the classic Wana- maker Mile early in the evening and about an hour later to meet a picked field in the special g. mile.
 Thrives On Work
 The hardy Hoosier scoffs at the idea that an active indoor cam paign is likely to harm rather than improve his chances of winning a berth on the Olympic squad which will represent this country at Ber- lin. He thrives on hard work. If he were to lay off for the winter season he could not possibly reach the peak of his form before it was time to defend his cross country laurels just about three months after the scheduled date of the

RIFLE CLUB STARTS
 NEW SHOOT FRIDAY

 The new shoot, open to winners of previous matches as well as other club members, will be 4O0- point contest with a medal donated by the club for first prize. The re-entry shoot calls for ten shots prone, ten kneeling, ten sitting and ten standing offhand.
 The clubs galleries are open for practice shooting every evening.

of play. It was particularly notice able in the middle west Illinois is do ing it, and I notice that New York University will swing until it gets stopped and then go into set for nation.
 I favor the elimination of the cen ter jump. Among many arguments against it is that when the centers are anywhere near evenly matched Il is seldom. indeed, that you get a clean-cut play off center.
 On our trip east, however, found very strong opposition to the pro- posal to abandon the center jump. Some coaches and spectators felt that each score was something of a climax" and should be followed by the formal start at center cant recognize that argument There IS, of course, thrill to seeing a basket thrown, but to my mind the only real climax" is when the two teams Q " AA2tO bilC lllldl IllllluUtS Ol DlHN with the score a tie or very close to a tie.
 Batting Order" at Center
 In the middle west some coaches suggested that the center jump be retained, but that all members of the team be rotated at center, thus doing away with the single, tall center. I know what I'd do in the way of a batting order" in that case-but I can't see that the system would im- prove the game any.
 One result of the elimination Of the center jump and the restriction on pivot post play that I think calls for comment is that the new rules make for the use of smaller and cleverer men in basketball. We still have to have height around the boards, but the team as a whole will have to be more clever.

the tire rolled along at terrific pace, to score
direct hit on the bent-over Eddie Heame.

moment on the bricks. then yelled, "An right,
all right. Come on. Where's the rest of your

Then there was the time on one of New

Hartz was thrown clear. He hit. rolled up

He ran for eight or ten strides, then slid for

I've seen tiny skid sweep car out of
control and send it spinning up the banked
track to crash through the fence and land
upside down - a mass of flames.
I've seen cars leave the track at high
speed and turn half dozen somersaults be-
fore they finally came to rest.
I've seen six or seven cars pile up into
twisted mass of wreckage when the machine
ahead went out of control and the drivers who
followed were unable to steer clear of them.
I've seen competitors killed when for all
their skill they were unable to avoid the
threat of danger at high speed.
Do race drivers think about such things3
Sure we do after race is over. But not
while we're in the race. We couldn't and be

safety. But accidents will happen. And it's
the accidents that teach engineers how to
make your car safer for you and your family.

Disconsolately sat on the pit wall. had
been forced out after travelling only 20 miles
in my car. Some days it's like that envied
little Billy as he breezed around the track,
miles an hour faster than was necessary. He
was far in the lead. but Billy liked to wheel
them. And Spider Matlack. Billy's tiny
mechanic, waved at us every time they whiried
past the pits. He seemed to say, "Okay. Pal.
well be winners in a few more laps"
Then. coming out of the turn leading into
the long home stretch of the Indianapolis
speed strip. Billy went into wide slide.
He fought the car as it slithered toward
the outside wall I didn't think he could hold
it. He missed the wall by inches, but immedi-
ately went into another wide slide down into
the inside wall. He caught it again. but
careened into another slide - again to the
outside. He had just got the car under control

thirty laps behind Arnold in the dash to the
finish line, came racing onto the scene.
Johnson saw Arnold spinning as he rode
through the turn. He couldn't stop. So he
had to guess which direction Arnold's car
was going He guessed i but he guessed
wrong. And just as Arnold had his car slowed
tC forty or fifty miles an hour, johnson hit
him.
johnson was moving about 100 miles an
hour, and he boosted Arnold's car right
through the wall and out of the park. johnson
followed. Both cars burst into flames. The
mechanics were both thrown clear. Arnold
and Johnson ran from the burning wreckage.
Tony Gulotta. riding second to Arnold.
automatically went into the lead It looked
like soft touch for Tony. He was riding to
win and had good lead over the other con-
tenders. Then, in the same turn that tripped
Arnold, Tony went into slide in the oil left
by the Arnold johnson crash. And fifty or
sixry yards below the spot where johnson
bumped Arnold through the wall, Gulotta
crashed onto the soft grass, unhurt but out of
the race.
These two accidents won the race for
Lou Schneider, former Indianapolis motor
cycle cop. He had been riding good, con-
sis.ent race with a car which was not as fast
as either Arnold's or Gulotta's. A minute
before those accidents he would have sold his
chance to win for song.
But that's automobile racing.
Danger? Certainly. Skids? Of course.
Crashes? Yes, too often. Sudden death? Well,
it's best that way if it's time to 60.
