Bench

Post-Press Sports Editor

An FL Centre basketball team
which refused to quit battling for
victory, even when victory seemed
hopelessly out OF reach. Friday
night pulled out win over Cali
patria high in game that provid-
ed 80 minutes of the fastest. most
exciting basketball ever witnessed
in the valley.
After three quarters of knock
down, dragout battling. in which
the lead changed hands so often it
was impossible to keep accurate
count of the number. the two cage
teams sped up their attacks. They
began tearing up and down the
floor SO rapidly that even Jai Alai
(reputed to be the worlds fastest
game reminded the bench warmer
of an old mans chess game.
At the start of the third quarter
Calipatria led 1916 and with but
80 seconds of play remaining, the
Hornets still enjoyed a 22-20 adj
vantage. An 81 Centre victory
appeared more improbable than
the abolition of taxes.
The Ell Centre cagerS. however.
were not to be denied. In that 30
seconds they bent every effort to
score a basket for a tie score and
chance to remain in the running
for the valley cage title.
On the center jump Central gain
ed possession of the ball and began
to pass the casaba around the floor
in an effort to get in position for
a try for the two precious points.
Smith Ryerson and Aaron tried
shots. but missed.
With but 18 seconds 10 play Cali
patria took possession of the ball
when Hornet guard snagged the
casaba as it bounded off the back
board. but O'Guin grabbed the
ball and passed TO Smith.
Smith took the pass and then
returned the ball to O'Guin who
was in the open for a corner shot.
Bob. who turned in performance
that qualities him for an all-valley
berth. arced the ball through the
hoop for the points that made an
FL Centre win possible.
When OGuin's shot plunked
through the netting and the gun
scunded ending the regular play
ing time, the Spartan had ac-
complished the impossible in the
most amazing rally ever staged
on a valley floor.
The three minute overtime period.
in which Ryerson sunk three field
goals for a Central victory, was
but a routine matter. for the Cali
patrians had shot their wad in an
effort to protect their lead in the
thrilling fourth quarter.
Little Bob Pastor. who Friday
night made a brilliant showing
against Joe Louis despite the fact

sTANDARDIZINc EVERYTHING

Along with Standardization of machinery and
manufacturing methods during the past few years
there has been a suspicion that the human mind is
also being standardized. This suspicion is more or
less confirmed by recent remarks of DR.. Joseph X.
Hart, of Teachers College, Columbia University,
who says that while there are lots of educated
people in this country he doubts there are now as
many first class minds in the United States as there
were in Attca around 430 b. C.
His idea of first-class mind is one that does
its own thinking, that refuses to accept as truth
anything anybody tries to impose on it. His con-
tention is that in many instances schools and col
leges have gone far in suppressing individuality
through their efforts to cram information down
their students threats.
He maintains that a system of education has
been set up which, largely, discourages original
thought, which tames and subdues character, and
which leaves student in such mental frame OF
mind when he leaves school that he believes any
and everything his party group clique class tells
him without questioning.
His suggestion of remedy has not been an
nounced nor do we have one, provided his state
ments are true.-Shelby Star.
