| key, Larson were scorers alonl
with Glaeser who practically tool
over the Swanville bucket brigade
In the late minutes of the second
it was Larson, on two drives to the
basket, who clinched the intermis
sion lead 10 to IL.
With Conkey bottling Haas, and
the Sank Centre defensive taking
honors from it's first quarter often
sive drive, Swanville was thrown
out Of gear in this quarter. Pang-
burn was working out of the hole
position with much more telling ef-
feet Friday than in any previous
game. Swanville with the breaking
Glaeser, slippery man to follow,
was desperately launching counter
drives to regain the lead in the ball
game that started off with scoring
thrills.
Top scoring honors were award
ed to centerman for Swanville,
Glaeser, whose solo breaks to the
basket, rolling in on the defense,
were good for 16 points. Behind
him was Haas with nine.
Sank Centre scoring points to
teamwork and new angle in loft
ness cage history. Ethun, Pang-
burn, Larson all contributed with
s points each, Conkey shared z;
Jackson 6. Friday the boys went
onto the floor with the instruc-
tons: Go out there and shoot"
Go out and shoot-and incidentally
get points they did. The attack
worked off the usual passing sys-
tenn, but instead of driving in all the
way, shooting bracket opened from
the foul line and beyond. Ethun,
Conkey all took their turn
at popping at the bucket from long
range. Then drive in to cover. The
rebound counted for scoring again
and again.
While offensive strength ran to a
new high in this game, defensive
work came to the fore with Swan
Vile bottled completely in the final
quarter. Kringen most ably de-
tended when he held Cohn three
quarters without points, and the
high scoring Glaeser in the last
quarter to no goals. Ball handling
came into play in the last quarter,
when with Conkey working as the
pivot the boys worked the ball in
and retained possession.

PARIS, Jan. 80 G.N.S) Play
ing a mysterious game that COM
pares in some respects with that
Of Col. T. E. Lawrence, the
famed Lawrence of Arabia" Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh was re-
vealed today as one of the leading
figures behind the aerial rearma-
ment of France as well as the
United States.
Abanding his lonely seclusion
on the isle D'Illiac off the Brit
tany coast, Colonel Lindbergh has
advised the American Govern
ment of it's aeronautical needs and
indirectly donated his knowledge
of aviation to the French govern
ment. =
HAND SEEN IN PURCHASES
The extent to which the colonel
may have participated in the
negotiations which led to the re-
cent French purchase OF 600 mill
tary airplanes from United States
is problematical.
However, through his friendship
with the famed French speed pilot
Michel Detroyat and other figures
closely connected with French
aviation, Lindbergh's opinions
have figured definitely in this ma
tion's aviation program.
Detroyat is now holding one OF
the most important positions in
the air ministry. He is in charge
Of aircraft procurement and pro-
duction. There are those who
maintain that Col. Lindbergh has
now been accepted as an unoffi-
cial advisor to the air ministry,
but it is more likely his connec"
ton is an informal one.
