Scully were granted until Monday to file answer in the writ Oi mandamus proceedings now pending before Judge Edwin c. Dickenson in the Superior court. While Attorneys Will liam w. Gager and Frederic c. Smedley, appearing for the merit system supporters, pleaded for haste in determining the legal course which they started to force a ref erendum onto the machines at the election, October 5, Judge Dicken- son inclined to support contention of the city's counsel.
 Aldermen Are Important
 He admonished Attorney Smed- ley when the merit system chiet of counsel asked for "enlighten- ment" on his course of action, deny- ing that the court could perform this extra-legal function and re. marked that an action invilving th' board of aldermen of a city was "im. portant' and not to be rushet through because of "bi-partisar opinion of counsel.

Hollywood, Sept. 22-(UP)-Out of the plush-line seclusion into which a forgotten husband forced her. a new and even more volutuous Mae West emerged today, with a bitter complaint against the sex censorship which Hollywood has es- tablished for her-and her alone.
 "The trouble" she said, settling comfortably into the corsets which give her a painless wasp waist, "is that when any other actress says an ordinary line. its all right with everybody. When say that same line. everybody reads a double meaning into it. and the censors jump on my neck"

EMMETT, Idaho, Feb 25.-Sher- if Boise Riggs said Kenneth Crow ther, p, shot and killed himself a few minutes after pretty Gynell Soom, 20, member of church choir whom he had kidnapped, escaped from him.
 Crowther carried the girl, who had spurned his love, from the church last night. They drove to a lonely spot and they talked for several hours. He threatened to kill her. She finally broke away and ran and few minutes later she heard a shot. Later he was found dead.
 Crowther carried the screaming girl from the church where she was practicing with other young people at 7:30 o'clock last night.
 Sheriff Riggs said Miss Soom told him that Crowther, after kid naping her and carrying her away in an auto, threatened that if she did not marry him he would kill her or himself.
 The girl struggled out of the car and ran toward construction camp a quarter of mile away. She heard a shot but continued to the camp and then told her story. Men from the camp found Crowther's body in the car.

-Ds.Pkk..

Coach Howard Cam of New York University has a unique system of rating players on his basketball squad. Details are jealously guard ed, but they are comprehensive and take into account not only scoring but all good and bad passes, pass interceptions and defensive ability
 According to the system, Bernie Carnevale, center, is exactly 40 per cent better than the second best player. Carnevale is rated 144.85 Irving Terjesen, who has been in poor shape from grippe, is second at 100.
 Plays Anywhere
 Without any fanfare, Carnevale has jumped to the front as No. Violet point-getter. He tallied 95 in Il games. The husky junior is fast for his 6 feet 2 inches. He was stuck in at center when it was apparent Terjesen could not stand the strain of continuous jumping and remain effective under the bas- kets. As forward. Terjesen was twice as effective as when he shoul- dered pivot duties. Carnevale is eff fective in any spot.
 Carnsvale is the only member of the N. Y. U. squad from outside New York State. He halls iron

 Violets Improve
 Return of Irwin Witty to the Vio- let squad should help. Last season Witty was an alternate and very accurate shot. He was ineligible earlier this season, but scholastic difficulties have been fixed.
 Coach Cann's team is not the power it has been, but it is far from a pushover. Aggressive and perse- vering, the team apparently lacks the spark to make it great. It has improved and should do better as the season wears on.
 Under Coach Cam the Violets registered 143 victories against 61 defeats. His teams scored 6,586 points while allowing their oppo- nents 5.4O3, since 1923-24.
 Cams 1933-34 team went through the season undefeated, winning 16 games. The Violets carried that streak on into 1934-35 with tri- umphs in their first II to bring the string up to 27 straight victor ies, longest in Violet history.
