Americas Great Mind

"The one certain way for the
United States to keep out of in-
tsrnational war, whether military
or economic is to join in prevent

nonic or military" says Nicholas
(Miraculous) Butler of Columbia
University.

years ahead of schedule.
Now the government can spend
the time thinking up things to do

England, Spain Followed

of the Caribbean Islanders and
South American Indians. This was

ish word meaning to roll. Cigar
came To signify a roll Of tobacco
leaves. Continental Europe. except
Spain, preferred snuff. MS did the
Scots.
The cigaret developed In Spain.
Paper served rs the enveloping ma
terial, probably because of the lack
of suitable leaves.
The first pipes were makeshifts-

followed small pipes of iron. sill.

NEW BASEBALL
 NOW PROPOSED

EAST LANSING, Mich, Feb. G. John Kobs. Michigan State College baseball coach, believes a slightly smaller baseball with raised seams should be provided for college base ball.
 Kobs says college students, for the most part, have not attained their full growth and that he did not believe it fair to expect young sters to become expert in the use of ball designed for a mans hand.
 Kobs believes smaller ball with raised seams to give a better grip not only would result in better pitching for the intercollegiate game but would result in more college twirlers finding their way into pro- fessional baseball.

tinually looking for a chance to fast break.
 The new rule restricting the play of the pivot man inside the free throw area has cut down the scor- ing from the pivot position Coach es have placed the pivot man out side the restricted area and in some cases have moved him away com pletely. The tall man is still of great value, both as feeder from the pivot position and as a rebound retriever.
 The elimination of a center tip off after free throw has been scored mas slightly cut down the amount of time the spectator spends at the game but has not had far reaching effect on the game.
 Would Retain Center Jump
 l don't favor eliminating one important and traditional phase of basketball, the center jump and play after the tipoff To me this is the same as suggesting the elim- ination of base-stealing in baseball. There is more to the center jump and play than merely having two tall men leap. In the Purdue Cali fornia game this year these teams broke about even on obtaining the tip but on the last play of the game Purdue won by beating Cali fornia to the ball after the jump.
 I favor returning to the former rule which permitted any one on a team to make free throw. It seems strange to me that the play CT who may have been knocked around and not be in the best shape to take advantage of the penalty must attempt to admin ister it.

TOM L0UCHRAN GIVES BRITISH
 BOXERS ADVICE
Advises Them to F org e t Kayoes and Get Down
 Fight Cleverly

LONDON, Feb. o.-priuish boxers, says Tommy Loughran, need more science and less sensationalism
 Forget the knockout" Loughran told British sports writers, when asked why boxing on this side of the Atlantic was inferior to the American standard.
 Tell your men to box cleverly. Then England will take her place as a producer of men able to box well enough to beat any class of fighters"
 The veteran Philadelphia Phan- tom" bearing but few scars of his Is years of ring warfare, said he believed British fighters their imaginations fired by the million dollar gates harvested by such Am erican kayo-p unc h CTS as Ja c k Dempsey, Max Baer and Joe Louis were trying too hard to land a knockout, at the sacrifice of both self-defense and the skillful piling up of points.
 There is more and better boxing in the United States" he said, and I think the reason for it is because we observe the clean break rule.
 If a boxer has to be on his guard all the time, in coming out of a clinch, he is naturally more cautious and hesitant. It is spelling boxing here in England"
 Loughran is still considering the offer of a group of members of the old National Sporting Club to manage a new boxing school in London-in the hope of developing a British challenger for the world heavyweight crown.

of the players. Because the railing of the balcony of the Springfield gymnasium was 10 feet above the floor, that height became the standard for the goals. Placing the goals-old peach baskets located by the janitor, and thus attaching the name of basketball to the game above the players heads also com pelled the tossing, rather than hurl- ing of the ball. Because the base ball was too small to work well in such a passing or tossing game, he decided on the use of the soccer ball. Naismith's own Canadian game of lacrosse suggested the placing of players as forwards and guards, and thus he worked out the game.
 The sport has distinct advan- tages that make for its popularity. It is full of action, yet does not re- quire large team or elaborate equipment. AS Dr. Naismith says:
 Tt is game easy to play at, yet difficult to become perfect in"

SPORT SLANTS

Very commendable Is the move by members of the National Asso citation of Basketball Coaches tt designate February 7-l5 as "Na. tional Naismith Week" in recogni. ticn of Dr. James A. Naismith's contribution to sport. The doctor invented basketball in 1891 while he was a member of the staff o1 the Y. M. c. A. College at Spring field, Mass.
 Every high school, college and university in the country is asked -o set aside one game in that week as the "Naismith game" One cent will be taken from each paid ad- mission and turned over to the Naismith fund, by which the coach es' association hopes to send Dr and Mrs. Naismith to the Olympic Games and, if the drive is a com p,ete success, to found an annuity in their behalf.

 Basketball was invented, pr. Nai- smith relates, because the prospec- tive "Y' secretaries were too full of life for the ordinary gymnasium exercises of dumbbells and Indian clubs. The youths craved action in the seasonal gap that came between football and baseball.
 Dr. Luther Gulick, head of the Physical Education Department at the Springfield Y. M. c. A. Col lege, considered this a real prob lem and put it squarely up to young Naismith.
 The youthful instructor recalled his boyhood game of duck on the rock" and the comparative value of the tossed rock that was fairly apt to hit the duck" and the hurled rock that, if it did hit, sent he duck" farther He decided that. after all, the tossed missile was The better, and determined that a.; one Of the principles of his new game.
 Naismith reflected on the possi- bility of injury to the player if he were running with the ball, as in football, subject to being tackled and thrown on the hard gymnas- ium floor He decided that it would be better for the holder of the ball to get rid of it to best advantage and let the other players run. Thus the pass was invented and the safe ty of the players conserved.
 Used Soccer Ball
 A goal on the floor, he pondered would be too easy for the defense to cover and it involved, also, the same danger of injury to players, so he decided that it would be well to have the goal above the heads

Iowa Coach Is Turning Out Swim Experts-En-

IOWA CITY, Feb. 6.-Back in 1916 there were exactly two Uni versity of Iowa male students who could swim good crawl stroke across the small library annex pool today 30 per cent of the fresh- men can do it with ease.
 Iowans have taken to the water like ducks through the efforts of Coach Dave Armbruster, who has guided the Hawkeyes to a front rank position in the collegiate aquatic world.
 Ten Armbruster-coac tankers have qualified for the final Olympic swimming trials, and six were named last year on the all-America team.
 The Armbruster laboratory is the fieldhouse pool, second largest in- door swimming plant in the coun- try. More than 125 varsity and freshman swimmers splash there daily, and hundreds of other stu dents dive in solely for exercise.
