Observat icn Made Century Later
It. was not until a hundred years
had passed that other observations
Of this kind were made. In 1888
several Philadelphia physicians de-
signed an ingenious little inStru-
ment containing microscopic
thermometer that could be dropped
into the stomach and pulled out
again. Their records showed the
temperature of the stomach slight
ly higher than those recorded by
Beaumont. This would be natural
because in Beaumont's subject the
stomach was directly in contact
with the outside air. The Phila-
delphia records were made on 129
men, the range Of stomach tenn
perature was between 1O1 AS and
90 IS. In women the maximum
was 101 1 Is and the minimum 971a.
The hottest. part of the intesti-
nal canal was about 1011a-over
2B degrees higher than the inside
of the mouth.
When hot water bag or an
electric pad was put over the stom-
ach with the thermometer inside
it did not cause any rise in tenn
perature. Xperimenters are al
ways telling us things like that,
calculated to destroy faith in good
sound remedies, SO let me hasten to
warn everyone not to give up the
hot water bag for the stomach
ache. Never mind how it works,
we know that it works. Let the
psychologists explain it at their
leisure, we will stick to the facts.
Whether hot or cold food makes
any difference in the stomach has
long been debated. It used to be
said that either ice cold food OF
hot food or drink was almost in
simultaneously warmed or cooled to
the temperature of the stomach.
Which, of course, anyone KNOWS
isn't true: inside the stomach is
no different from any other place
for the specific heat of water. The
Philadelphia doctors found that
water or ice cream produced a
marked decrease in stomach tenn
perature, and this was not restored
for half an hour, and delayed the
emptying rate of the stomach from
Is to 80 minutes.

FIFTEEN hundred years ago, the Byzantine Emperor, Theodosius IT, built a series of walls before Constantinople, now Istanbul, that withstood severe attacks upon the city throughout the centuries. For a distance of four miles, from the Golden Horn to the Sea of Mars mora, three lines of heavy ma. sorry were built.
 The first wall was a mere breastwork. The second wall rose 25 feet, and the third wall lowered over the second by l6 feet. The three lines of defense were ina. pregnable to attack by medieval means.
 But, in the 18th century, came gunpowder--and the Turks. When Mohammed II attacked Constan. tinople, his guns ripped breaches in the thick walls faster than the Greeks could repair them. Still, the Turks could have been held back, but, by an unusual strategy, ~ww~v~~~~ the inva ders ~.w.-.U~-u moved their navy EkN |I around to the sH<M north of the city G and Constantino- VeA pie fell before a

 Allen Is Bell Wether
 The Big Six, led by the veteran Dr. F. C. Allen of Kansas, has pioneered many experiments look ing to improvement of basketball Alen, whose record as a coach tes- tifies as to his ability, was the moving spirit last season in the ex- perimental games in which the baskets were hoisted to the 12-foot level, with field goals stepped up to the value of three points. in- stead of two, His theory was that goals two feet above standard height would equalize the abilities of long and short players. The hoops are still 10 feet above the floor, however.
 Tabulated statistics of the three circle games will be presented to the National Association of Basket ball Coaches and the Rules Com mittee Whether the idea will be- come a fixture in the national Jules depends largely upon these statistics.

NEW DEP FEATURE IS PULLED OFF
 IN BASKETBALL.
Big Six Adopts Three Ring But Not of Cir
 GUS Variety

KANSAS CITY, Jan. 13. The three-ring idea, whereby Big Six conference quintets hope to take the greater circle" route direct to better basketball came through it's public debut with flying colors.
 The innovation concocted at a meting of five conference coaches calls for a third circle 12 feet in diameter-simila to the two free throw circles-inscribed about the jump circle.
 All tip-offs after "held ball" are executed in the nearest of the three circles-the center ring or either of the two free throw areas and all players except the two jumpers are barred from the circle until the ball is tapped
 Coaches expressed the opinion this "zoning of the jump ball'' would speed up the game, elimin- ate many out-of-bounds plays and, because of the restriction keeping players others than the jumpers cut of the "jump-balr' area, would minimize the advantage enjoyed by exceptionally tall players. They said it would increase scoring, too.
 Firat Test "Ifighly Satisfactory"
 First tested when Kansas met Ottawa (Kas.) University in a non- conference game, the idea was de- scribed as highly satisfactory, par ticularly from the standpoint of curtailing out of bounds plays. Heretofore, many jump balls' oc- cured near the edges of the court, where the slightest tip in the wrong direction might send the sphere outside
 When the ball is tossed up in one of the three large circles, it takes more than tap to send it across the boundaries. In fact, it takes a good healthy slug.
 The new wrinkle also gives coaches the opportunity to work out scoring plays from three dis tinct points on the floor in the same manner that center tip-off plays have been mapped for years. It minimizes the advantages of a tall center in that virtually every player-tall, short, fat, lean-will jump at some time during the game without the handicap of crowding by the others.
 The idea is another indication of the advance of the game since Dr. James Naismith, now a mem Der of the University of Kansas faculty, invented it at the Spring

only 165 pounds and stands six feet tall, Kessler looks more like bean pole than basketball player, but he makes up for what he lacks in nat ural physical endowment with seem- ingly untiring energy, keen basket eye and amazing speed His flaming competitive spirit marks him as one of the greatest in the long line of outstanding hardwood players de- veloped by Coach Ward Lambert at the Boilermaker institution since the World War.
 Kessler has been called the jump ing-jack of the hardwood and not without reason. He fairly sWarms over loose balls on scranbles under the basket, and frequently emerges from the wild melees to bounce off the floor, twist like a corkscrew in midair, and flip in one of his de- ceiving left-hand shots. He is s>equally adept at long range, and is at his best against tough opposition.
 Below Par
 Coach Lambert does not believe his present team measures up to his championship quintets of the past two seasons. Last years team lost three games, all to Big Ten foes, and on the eastern jaunt defeated Ford ham and Temple
 Since taking over the reins at Pur- due in 1919, Lambert turned in 139 Big Ten victories compared with 56 conference defeats. for a percentage of TIP, unequalled by any coach in the conference. In all games played during the 17-year period his teams have won 224 and lost 75.
 Lambert's history at Purdue shows that his poorest year was his first 1919-when the Boilermakers wound up seventh in the Big Ten standing. The next year they advanced to sec ond place and since then have won the title eight times and have never dropped out of the first division.

The 13,000 fans who damned into Madison Square Garden to see the basketball game between Purdue and New York University were rewarded with contest so dramatic, so thrill ing that they were left limp from emotional reaction after the final whistle sounded
 New York Universitys undefeated team staged great second half comeback and staved off a determ- ined bid by Purdue in the closing minutes to score a 43-41 victory over the Boilermakers and chalk up the first defeat suffered by the Big Ten champions at the hands of a non- conference opponent in two sea- sons. Purdue enjoyed 20-14 lead at the end of the first half after hav- ing outplayed an over-anxious and tense N. Y. U. team. The Violets came back fighting after the inter mission With five minutes to play they led Purdue 42-31, and appar- ently had the game sewed up.
 Kessler Gust Loose
 At this stage of the game the Boilermakers, led by Bob Kessler, cut loose with rally that all but over took the tiring N. Y. U. team. Thirty seconds to play and Purdue was just one point behind. A Boilermaker forward missed an easy lay-up shot and with it went Purdues hope of winning.
 Kessler, the Boilermakers' captain and all-America forward, was the leading scorer with five field goals and four foul conversions for total of IA points. He was all over the floor on the offense and defense.

BY b. KINNE

During the last lew years many
people of the valley have asked,
why does CaleXico high dominate
baseball in Imperial Valley?' and
why does FL Centre have compar-
atiyely weak ball nines?"
The biggest reason Calexico wins
more baseball championships than
other valley schools is because the
Bulldogs have the only decent ball
park in the valley on which to prac-
tice and play their games.
On the other hand Ell Centro is
weak in baseball because the Spart-
ans have the poorest ball park in
the valley.
Coaches and athletes Of Sparta
have been trying to get the board
and other officials of the high
school to improve the baseball dia-
mond III order to strengthen Cen
tral bail teams as we'll as TO create
more interest in the national sport
in Imperial Valley.
In spite of the requests of the
coaches and students no work has
been done on the field and the play
ing surface has become steadily
worse.
An infield grounder is liable tc
hop in any direction and a player
that makes a good stop of a roller
is lucky.
For a small amount of money
grass could be planted on the field
and a real park made, or at least,
the field could be dragged and
smoothed for the coming season.
