Basketball
 Team is in
 ANew Deal
Gridiron Ch dnges Have Now Extended 10 An
 other Sports Branch

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Jan. 12.- Michigan's New Deal on the gridiron has extended to the basketball court
 Like football, the basketball team has new boss, Bennie Oosterbaan. who succeeded Franklin Cappon when the latter went to Princeton in the shake-up that brought Fritz Crisler to Michigan.
 Oosterbaan, who won all-Amer- ica football and basketball glory at Michigan, waited ten years for the chance to prove he is as good a coach as he was player. During that time he was an assistant coach in three sports.
 His Wolverines, forgotten in pre- season appraisals, have beaten, among others, Michigan State. Notre Dame, University of Rochester and Syracuse.
 Three of the teams were conquer ed by two-point margins after suc- cessful rallies.
 Oosterbaan, who has a first-team of veterans, changed the style of play to a fast break The result has been new speed and scoring power.
 While he misses John Townsend, all-Big Ten center and play-maker for three years, he apparently has found the right combination in For wards Dan Smick and Charley Pink. Center Jim Rae, and Guards Ed Thomas and Leo Bsebe, captain.
 His second team includes three sophomores renowned for their mid court markmanship Milo Sukup, Herb Brogan and Mike Sofiak.
 Michigan finished well down in the standings in last years confer ence race. This year fans have high hopes the Wolverines will make a better showing.
 Oosterbaan admits that as coach his troubles have begun.
 T never used to worry" he said. T do now"

THREE BOXING TITLE CHANCES
 NOW LOOMING
Championships at Stake in Winter Bouts al
 Garden
By DILLON GRAHAM AP Feature Service Writer

NEW YORK, Jan. 12-The fight faithful who scramble through the tunnels into Madison Square Car den's smoke-iilled arena this win- ter are likely to see three of box ing's world championships change hands.
 Uncle Mike Jacobs, the czar along Busted Beak Boulevard, has couple of the niltiest of niftics hidden up his sleeve for summer unveiling for Michael always stages his super-super extrava- ganzas in the baseball ball yards.
 But he has arranged quite col lection of interesting duels for the indoor patrons and the chances are they'll see new champions crowned in the light heavyweight, middle weight and bantamweight divi- sions.
 Melio Bettina and Tiger Jack Fox are exected to fight for the light heavy diadem, probably in February. Then n the ''muddle- weights" likely will come together Fred Apostoli, the champ in New York, and Solly Krieger, whom the National Boxing Association recognizes as boss. Sixto Escobar is the other ruler on the spot. The boxing eossips say he'll be an ex- champ when spring flees.
 Old Reliable Tommy
 And then there's Tommy Farr, perhaps the most consistent loser in the Gardens recollection. Hes been at bat three times and struck out on each occasion. He's due to fight Red Burman in January.
 Head Man Joe Louis comes in on January 25 to risk his crown against John Henry Lewis, erst- while ruler of the light heavies. Lewis will pile up quite an assort- ment of points so long as he can stay away from Joe's blows but not many have been able to do that over the long route.
 It's quite like:5, too. that the featherweight situation may be unscrambled. Joey Archibald, the N. Y. champion, was bowled over in two heats by Pete Scalzo. So Archibald, Scalzo and Leo Kodak of Chicago may figure in some sort of an elimination contest for the crown
 Jacobs may offer the Henry Armstrong-Lou Ambers return match for the lightweight title in the Garden, but it is more likely that he'll hold it for summer.
 Bob Pastor, Roscoe Toles, Gum mar Barlund of Finland, Maurice Strickland of South Africa and possibly Len Harvey of England are others that Jacobs may exhibit in the Garden.

The COmmOn-tater
--ByC Chuck Rattle

Men of Letters
Two nearly nineteen year-old youths marched out
their first assignment twelve years ago and into
the teeth of the rawest November day since that
time. They donned the blue gray Of the U. s. postal
service, slung familiar mail pouches their
shoulders, and walked into assignment that has
carried them now to aggregate foot mileage
of more than hundred thousand mies-more than
four times the distance around the earth at the
Equator
But they've done more than walk this town over
twice daily They've passed from the rustic of new
ness moved into the complacency of acceptance:
their figures moving down the lanes of the town
have melted into the thing call in the aggregate
community life A part OF the communities life
by which business is adjusted and housewives and
young children peek from windows at an hour they
knew to be certain each forenoon and aft. .
Should the service suddenly be suspended tomorrow
something would snap in the life of the CITY,
snap that would require just the amount of read
justment that came when the service was inaug-
urated twelve years ago.
For it wasn't just accepted in those days that
the city free delivery all it might be. Rare
the business firm that awaited itself of the
reluctant to switch to the untried service.
Businesses in some instances didn't join in the
service Immediately because there We're those who
viewed with alarm the passing of people coming
uptown daily to get the mail That part OF
the community the traffic that brought the popuace
to the hub So at eight o'clock this morning
when Carl Fischer and Val Scheonhoff left the post
office it was birthday party. Just twelve years
ago November &c. 1927 the two had left on that first
run.
That was a day-a red letter day. Jobs may not
have been difficult to get yet for two untred young
fellows out of high school. the chance to work must
have roared in upon them like a windfall They
didn't know then that they'd be carrying the mail l.
years to the after that first raw, wntry morn
ing They didn't know that the service would
expand to nearly double what 1t was then They

ton Berg, Jr. The cartoon he drew

An Experience of a Lifetime
Willmar-When the driver of
car became drowsy while enroute
to a weekend of pheasant hunting
recently, two Minneapolis men had
an experience not to be forgotten in
connection with the 1889 hunting
season. Fred Corrie was driving
along with Ray Dowell in the seat
along side Of him and his dog in
the back seat, when he became
sleepy, dozed off, and then things
began to happen. The car left the
highway and turned end over end
a couple of times, finally coming
to rest with the four wheels in the
air. The hunters and dog managed
to crawl out of the wrecked car
and hail a ride to town. Neither
man nor beast were injured, which
is little short of miraculous.
End of Perfect Friendship
exandria-Emmett Dritler, of
Missouri, and Jack Nelson, of Min
neapolis, were pals; they bummed
their way from the west coast to-
gether and when they reached Alex
andria and slept together friend
ship ceased. Nelson slept later
than Dritler and when he arose
he hitch-hiked to his home in Min
neapolis. Here he discovered that
the suit most admired by his pal
was missing. He returned to Alex
andria where he had a warrant
made out for his friend. Dritler
professed that he borrowed the
clothes without asking Emmett, but
nevertheless had to return them
and furnish his friend with trans
portation to Minneapolis.
Pete Succumbs to Cold Spell
Belle Plaine-Pete was a fashion
leader among his fellow mates. Us
ually clad in his little lavendar
jacket, made from the sleeve Of a
discarded sweater and fastened
with a couple of safety pins, Pete
often attracted the attention of
passersby. He was a favorite among
the members Of the Joe Stradcut-
ter household. Being quite a bit
smaller than the rest of the chick
en- flock, the animal was always
picked on, in fact picked of every
feather, he ever possessed. That is
the reason he had to have store
clothes, something to keep him
warm. however, Pete Is no more.
He was found dead recently, the
victim of a cold spell.

peculiar feat. He bagged two foxes
with one shot. The Pope county
farmer was hunting pheasants
when he spotted a pair of foxes
running side by side. He let &c

two, Gripping both so severely he

Mrs. Lemler Kills An Eagle
Grand Rapids-Mrs. George Lem
Ter heard a commotion in her
chicken yard and went out to look
over the situation. An eagle was
chasing the chickens that ran to
the chicken house. After trying to
"shoo" the bird away, and seeing
it as to no avail, Mrs. Lemler got
a gun and shot the bird. No one
in Grand Rapids knew what kind
of an eagle it was. 1t had a white
head, dark grey body, and yellow
tail, with claws more than two
inches long and needle-sharp. Mrs.
Lemler brought the bird to a taxi
dermist for mounting.
Family Gets Mail From
6 Different POstOffices-
Thief River Falls-The J. P. Asp
family, living 9 miles east Of Hazel,
had six different postoffice address
es in the past rs years. Mrs. Asp
said that at the start of the quar-
ter century mail came through the
Malone postoffice, followed in sue
cession by Kratka, Sunbeam, Rhoda
and Hazel, and now Route out
Of Thief River Falls. Walter Smith,
postmaster, stated that when he be-

since the development of the sys-
tenn of rural mail routes.

owner at Island Lake, experienced
great deal of trouble with the

cided to trade it in. Mechanics

thorough examination, they found

tives had built home there, and
the material they used for construc-

$50 Every Thursday Pleasant Scheme

1t is not surprising that CALIFORNIA; Ham and
Egg pension plan defeated, for most people
thought it unsound and foolish. Adequate pensions
necessary, but of all the cracked theories that
have been expounded for the relief of the aged that
took the cake.
Californian, perplexed before the recent cleo
ton in which the pension plan overwhelmingly
defeated, wrote follows:
"Soon we vote on Thirty Dollars every Thursday.
I realize America is wealthy and her store houses
full, but this Thirty every Thursday puzzles me.
I'm agin it. 1t seems unsound to pay people fifty
years of age $50 every week for not working. $50
every week for a family where ma and pa fifty
years. Why heavens-the entire family will quit
work and come home and live with ma. believe
in adequate pensions, but the Lord from any
thing like that. We had better get our heads to-
geher and distribute wealth by adequate pay for an

pleasant schemes as 80 every Thursday"

Few Juneauites. in this day of
economical taxis, ever walk such a
distance in any one day. These two
men ran it for a $50 wager, and
young johnson did the stretch in
40 minutes, while older Salo did the
turn in SO minutes.
1t is the first time such race
has ever been run in Juneau and
it may mean a new Fourth of July
event.
The race has ali the elements of
contest necessary for those who
wager, and before this race yester-
day had gotten under way, many
bets had been placed.
A number of years ago Juneau
used to have a race up Mt. Juneau,
on the Fourth of July, but that
petered out for the obvious reason
that even on the Fourth of July,
running up a mountain like Mt.
Juneau doesn't make much sense.
All Alaska has its ice pools, and
most towns have their featured
sporting event. Johnson and Salo,
in their battle of the tall and young
versus the stocky legs of the late
forties, may have started something.
Several hundred spectators wit
messed yesterdays two man classic
and score of taxis and private cars
followed the Alaskan Paavo Nurmis,
watched them slosh through the
mud and rain, legs pumping up and
down methodically, neither stopping
for rest.
Neither racer apparently suffered
any i'll effects, but Johnson, winner
of the classic, had another break
today when he remained in bed
content in the knowledge that it
is his day off, while Salo went back
on the job.
