Already young men are be-
ing conscripted into the U. S.
Army. Questionnaires are being
sent out to young men all over
the country. Sometime in the
near future this writer must
register for selective service and
will in turn receive a lengthy
QUESTIONABLE to fill out. So to
get in some much needed prac-
tice for the QUESTIONABLE | will
give myself a very, very person
al interview.
@. Throughout your twenty
years you have been called so
many different names that |
don't just know your real nick
name. What is it?
A. | would like to be called
"Bob," but alas too few people
call me by that. They call me
"Jim, Jimmy, Bob, Bobby, Worth
less, Worthy, and most of all |
am called Duke"
@. Do l understand then your
nickname to be Duke ?"
A. Honestly, | wouldn't know.
l have been called so many diff
ferent names that when some
one on the other side of the
square says, Hello Elmer" |
subconsciously tip my hat to the
nearest person.
@. Tsk, tsk, Mr.. Worth, your
almost hysterical. But now to
get down to business. Where
were you the night of Tuesday,
November 19?
A. | refuse to comment.
Q. Mr.. Worth, you must an
swer all questions in this inter-
view. You should know that. l
repeat where were you the night
of November 19?
A. If you must know, l was
in the village of Frazeysburg,
Ohio.
@. What was your business
there?
A. |, along with three very
good friends, enjoyed a fine bas-
ketball game between Frazeys-
burg High school and Union.
@. Will you please state in
detail your impressions of the
teams, the game, the gym, 9TH
er important facts, and, ahem,
the cheer leaders? =?
A. You slave driver. Well,
the Frazeysburg Red Raiders
smacked down Union, 34-22, in
well played game. The Red
Raiders looked very impressive
for a team that lost five big
boys by graduation last season.
Bob Reubush paced the winners
with nine points. For such a
small place Frazeysburg has a
beautiful gym. Frazeysburg, a
Muskingum Valley League team,
plays 10 league games opening
with Philo at Philo.
! @. Excellent, if l do say so
myself. But didn't you forget
the cheer leaders.
A. Indeed l didn't. My dear
sir, once you see those cheer
leaders you won't forget them.
i @. Was your crowd the only
Newarkites there?
Il. Not by a long shot. There
was several Newark people there
and believe it or not, our friend
! l'aul Harlow officiated the
game.
@. l have to believe you. The
game couldn't be dull with Har-
low around. Enough of Fraz-
eysburg for the present. What
do you think of Newark's skat-
ing rink?
A. think it is very nice and
| am sure Newark skate fans ap-
preciate it. A good crowd skate
there and the rink is run by very
capable owners.
Q. Who was the first skater
to lose his footing in the new
rink.
A. Confidentally, it's unoffi-
cial, but from reports l was first
to hit the planking.
@. A poet, Ell? Well, what
do you think of Newark's COM
ing basket ball season?
A. Basketball is the national
indoor sport and once again this
year Newark will be a hotbed of
basketball. There will be a
tough Industrial League, good
pro quints will play here, the
church leagues have opened and
also the City league. And don't
forget Newark high opens the
season with Columbus East, Fri
day, Dec. 6.
Q. How do the Wildcats
look?
A. Last year Newark needed
only a center. This year they
have a good prospect in big Bill
Craig. More about the Cats
next week.
@. Mr.. Worth, attention!
What about those cheer leaders
in Frazeysburg?
A. Boss, you don't know it
yet, but the interview is over.
However, the answer to the last
question is WOW!
