crunching sound-then silence, deep
er than before.
The rocks In this place had very
sharp edges and some of them were
loose, too, and slid from under me.
I had heard of landslides and had
seen the remains of a few on the
way up. I kept thinking Of how
a landslide starts-the slipping
stones-just a few at first-then
more and more and faster and fast

to move. Then. trees tip over like
matches, and there are crashings
and grindings and dust. Boy! I
just sood still, now and then, and
shivered. What chance would a
fellow have in a mess like that?
However, 1t was not quite so cold
down there in the scrub, and that
made me think that farther down, it
would be still warmer. Maybe I'd
better change my course a little to
the right and keep going down. I
hunted for an opening through the
scrub growth. There wasn't any;
so I just had to scramble along as
best I could. That's where I cut
my sneakers to pieces.

Of Mount Katahdin," says veteran

I noticed now that I had to
scramble through more and more
of those scrubby bushes. My face
was badly scratched and I was
awfully tired. 1t was getting dark,
too.
Hadn't Gone Far.
I knew I hadn't covered more
than three or four miles. That
meant that Dad and Henry couldn t
be a long way of. The camp must
be right down below me in the trees.
I felt a little better. What II 1t

somewhere looking for me- I knew
that up on the top it was cold
pretty near freezing-and blamed
myself for not sticking close to Dad
and the boys on the hike up. II I
had done that, I would be safe on
my cot-bed in camp. I cried myself
to sleep.
When I opened my eyes again 1t

just go a little more slowly-that's

sleet I could see a little ways
ahead-just broken mountain side
with bushes and trees everywhere.
No use to shout now. No one could
hear me. Just one thing to do
work my way down to the camp.
Maybe I'd be late for bacon and
beans, but what Of it? Dad might
be mad becaose didn't stay with

very long.

Just as I was thinking over such
things I slipped of a big rock and
hurt myself. I lay at the base of
it, kind of stunned. At last, got
on my feet again. I saw that night

knew it was raining, but where I
was, the trees protected me a little,
though drops kept falling and wet

I ought to do, for long time, then
I decided to sleep right there for
the night.
Before I bedded down under q

and Girls at Elizaville, N. Y.
Holman wrote winning Bas-
ketball" and is now finishing a
third book on the game which is
as yet untitled. Two motion pic
lures have been made on the Hol-
man type of play.
Holman played professionally
until 1888, touring with the origi-
nal Celtics for eight years.
C. c. N. Y. CAGERS HAVE
TO BE SCHOLARS, TOO
The Celtics did much mission
airy work. Youngsters saw and
mimicked them. The Celtics had
much to show the peagreens E.
Dutch Dehnert, originator of the
pivot, Johnny Beckman, Pete
Barry and Joe Lapchick.
Holman perhaps gets less for
teaching basketball than any other
major coach.
And there is no proselytism or
substituting at City College, where
students have to have an average
of so and where a star forward
gets no breaks from the professors.
Yet Holman's c. C. N. Y. teams
have had four seasons in which
they lost only one engagement.
From 1881 to 1884 they bagged
43 of as. After running up rec
ord of being undefeated on the
home court for AZ consecutive
games, the Beavers lost to West
minister college, 1924. They then
went on to cop % straight in their
own backyard before being stop
ped by st. Francis last season,
1924.
In 20 years of the toughest
competition. Holman's teams
have won $50 games against
81 defeats, for grade aver
age OF 1871.
Basketball is the most profitable
City College sport. The proceeds
from it in recent years have en-
abled the college to maintain a
complete athletic program.
Nat Holman's hobby is sculptur-
ing.
Someone ought to do a statue of
him for what he has done for City
College and basketball in general.

City of New York's head coach

Holman brought first class
basketball to the big cities
by originating n type Of game
that could be played best on
the small courts of congested
areas.
For Is years he has been the
model and idol of a good share OF
the basket-shooting youngsters OF
Manhattan and elsewhere.
Nat Holman was a skinny-leg-
ged kid with only a mediocre
physique as he grew up on New
York's teeming lower east side.
He stood only 5 feet 10 and
weighed no more than $50 when
he starred in world championship
series with the Original Celtics.

so small that If youngster didn't

Holman performed in cramped
dance halls.
One fitted into the other,
and the result was the Hol-
man system patterned after
that of the Original Celtics
with the premise on possession
through short passing. Hol-
man early learned that the
close work required to offset
