Favored McPhersOn Oilers Lose 44=43 Game-One
 Player Refuses Trip
BY HENRY SUPER

United Press Staff Correspondent.)
 New York, April 6.-UP)-West- erners monopolized places on the United States basketball squad picked today by the American Olympic committee to represent this country in the August games at Ber- lin.
 Not only did all 13 places on the Olmympic squad, announced by Dr. Walter E. Meanwell of Wisconsin, go to the west, but teams from that sector dominated the Olympic try outs whihc ended last night in Madi- son Square Garden.
 The Hollywood, Cal, Universal pictures team won the tournament in a breath-taking game with the Mcpherson, Kan, Oilers, 44-43, averaging 8 loss to the same team in the Denver A. A. U. final last month. The U. of Washington, which lost to the Oilers in the semi finals, won third place by downing the Wilmerding, Pa, Y. M. c. A. team, 48-33. A crowd of 5000 at tended.
 By winning, the Universal team won the right to place eight men on the Olympic squad, but only seven were chosen because one member of the team deemed it inadvisable to go to Berlin. Thus the Olympic squad will be shy one man.
 The complete squad follows: Uni versal, Art Mother, Don Piper, Carl Knowles, and Sam Batter, for wards; Frank Lubin, center; Carl Shy and Duane Swanson, guards; Oilers, Francis Johnson and Tex Gibbons, forwards; Joe Fortenberry, center; Jack Ragland and Bill Wheatly, guards; U. o1 Ralph Bishop, center.
 Jim Needles, coach of the Uni sal team, was named head coach of the Olympic squad, and Gene Johnson, coach of the McPherson team, was named assistant coach. Dr. J. A. Reilly, Kansas City, Will be team manager.
 In addition to the regular squad, 13 players were named as alter mates. The head coach may pick any one of the 13 for the Olympic squad if any of the present group are unable to make the trip.
 The Universal team stood off a great rally in the last few minutes of play. Trailing, 41-44, in the last minute, Tex Gibbons, McPherson forward, failed to drop in a foul shot which cost the Oilers at least a tie because a moment later Joe Fortenberry, lan!U center, dropped in a sensational field goal.

Simmons Will Settle Fate of Tigers, Famous
 BrOadwayite Says
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY

United Press Stan CorrespOndent)
 New York, April 6-Jack Doyle, semibald, beSpectacled little Irish man who runs a billiard hall at the Crossroads of the World"-Broad- way and 42nd. street-announced today his betting odds on the ma- jor league pennant races, making the Chicago Cubs and Detroit Ti- gers favorites to repeat.
 The veteran Broadway betting commissioner, who has been quoting odds on basebell and other big sports for 40 years, tabs the Tigers and Cubs at 8-5. The odds are against-put up five and win eight.
 Good Enough
 Last year Doyle's book picked the American league finish one-two- Detroit and New York-but ha missed out in the National league, where he had St. Louis on top. New York second, and Chicago, the ulti- mate winner, third. The Tigers 8-5 last year and the Cubs 3-1.
 T figure 4-club race in the American League this season." said Doyle, who has just returned from Florida where he has seen most of the teams in action, "and g. cornered battle In the National league. Any one of four clubs, De- troit, Boston, New York, of Cleve- land, can win the American league pennant.
 In the National league it's be- tween Chicago, St. Louis and New York, as see it."
 The dangerous thing about mak- ing Detroit the favorite to win again, in Doyle's opinion, is that it takes a really great club to win three pennants in @ row.
 Simmons Has Key
 "The big thing with the Tigers, I believe, is whether Al Simmons, bought from the White Sox, comes through" said Doyle. If he comes back to his form of couple of years ago the Tigers will have too much offensive strength to he halt ed. The Red So xare made second choice because of the large number of proven stars Tom Yawkey bought during the winter. make the price ? to 1 against Boston.

Fish Tank Needs

ONE of the greatest causes of failure

many people think all you have to do
is to get something to hold water and
drop in a few fish. That isn't right
You need other things If you want to
have balanced aquarium that will
keep the fish alive for long time.
Fish need oxygen. This is thrown

you want to have some of these. Get
your tank. plants, plenty of gravel to
set the plants in, and when the whole
is together, wait at least two days be-
fore introducing your fish. That gives
the water time to settle, the plants
time to get started in their new home
and everything will be ready for the
fish when they come.

Betty Finds That
Milk Is Close to
Perfect as Food

IT KNOW more about vitamins, "
Betty announced. shutting the
book she had been reading.
What now?" Dinah asked. "Of
course, I'm fashioned. I never
heard of vitamins until you told me. "
"I've just read about milk. 1t says
1t is an almost perfect food. Milk
contains little of almost everything
good for us. Especially lime. which
builds strong bones and teeth"
That's why you are so strong and
healthy and have such pretty. even,
white teeth. Even if we didn't know
about vitamins in milk. we would
know milk is a good food. 1t would
have to be-" Dinah explained, "for
all babies, humans or animals, have
milk as their first food"
1T says" Betty continued, 'it is
very important children drink a quart

be hard to eat or drink something
you don't like.
Yes" Dinah agreed. 'but I imagine
most any one would like tapioca pud-

Before Dinah could finish, Betty
had reached for her notebook and had
asked for the recipe so she could make
some for supper.

This Card Trick
Seems to Prove
Great VIII POwet
THE card trick described never fails

THE card trick described never fails
to mystify an audience. Ap-
parently you can use your will power
to make them draw from the pack
any card that you call!
Take full pack of cards, have them
shuffled, and then spread them face
downward on the table like a fan.
While doing this, glance at the bottom
card and remember what'tt is.
Now explain that you. will force
them to draw a number of cards from
the pack, the faces of which neither
you nor they have seen. Ask some
body to mark down the cards you call,
so that they can check up on you at
the end.
Suppose that the bottom card
which you have secretly seen, is the
nine of spades. The first card you
call for is the nine of spades. Some
body picks out any card from the
pack and hands it to you without
looking at it. You look pleased. as
though you had got the nine of spades.
Suppose the card handed you is the
king of diamonds. YOU then call for
that card, and as each new card is
handed to you, you call for it the next
time.
After repeating this several times,
you will have every card you have
called for except the nine Of spades.
To get it, explain that you will pick
the last card yourself. Then calling
the name of the last card that has
been handed to you, you pick over
the cards on the table and finally
pick out the end card, the nine Of
spades.

Youths of Africa
Play 'Lenjek' for
Skill 1t DEVELOPS

EAR away on the Dark Continent"
Of Africa the dark boys play a
game called "Lenjek" pronounced
"laynyak"o. Like many of the games
in foreign countries, Lenjek is a game
of skill, to teach boys to do things
they will have to do when they grow
to manhood.
In order to play this game it Is
necessary to have q large round disc
of some soft material. The African
boys use cross section of a certain
very soft and porous tree. The led
who Is "it," armed with this disc.
takes his place In front Of the rest
Of the group. The other boys in the
game line up few feet back about 2
feet apart.
Each boy in the line has long
spear. made of a straight piece of
tough wood whitfield to a very sharp
point at one end.
The leader spins the disc through
the air at height about level with
his shoulder. 1t is thrown perpen-
dicularly. SO that the fiat side is to-
ward the line of boys At is whirls
past. each boy filings his spear, en-
deavoring to pierce it. When one
succeeds he takes the place Of the
leader and throws the disc the next
time, the former leader retiring to the
foot Of the line.
This game trains boys to spear
speeding animals. When the mission
aries introduced tennis in Africa, the
natives thought that it resembled this
game SO they gave tennis the same
name, "Lenjek."
In some parts of China the boys
play game similar to this. except
that they use stones. Their leader
throws large stone instead of the
disc and the other boys try to strike
it with smaller stones as 1t whirls
past them. This game is called
''Tapan."
