SUNSHINE OVER ARIZONA
By ADYL REYOH

IN A FEW short days We will be
ringing out the old year and ring
ing in the new one.
When the last precious minute
of 1910 has dinmed into the in
finity that is life and eternity, let
it also dim into oblivion your hates,
your bitterness, your despairs.
Let us, gently, in our thoughts,
fold the hands of the weary old
man of 1910, who through his brief
life span of one year has seen the
world progress into a chaos from
which he could not rescue it. He
has seen unity CT peace and hap
paness disrupted in lands across
the sea. He has seen a more ter
rible rending asunder Of unity
than you or I can imagine. the
tearing apart of those things
which were whole, the human
body. limb from limb, the destruc-
ton of buildings, the downfall OF
nations the Vaccinations
of hatred and greed and lust for
power.
This weary old man of 1910 lost,
somewhere, his power to keep
Unity, the Light that guides, clear
and bright and shining.
Somewhere, he failed to take
proper heed of Unity for a guild
ing light to keep together mis-
universal people in co-living
spiritual state of mind where
human failings bred not hatreds
and harder hatrcds Ill return, but
the simple faith in a destiny
which would make each human
being-and thus every nation upon
the earth-know that only in unity
of purpose, thought and deed for
a common good can civilization ul-
timately survive.
AS we accept the New Year that
is given to us, let us remember the
teachings Of the Star of Bethle-
hem, that Guiding Light which led
LIlG WISC MCLl c1lNI VIAO A1AAN f'AAOA ~<o'
with Unity of purpose, from their
various paths, to the Christ Child
in the manger..
Through the New Year OF 1a4l,
may sunrise and morning star
sunset and evening star, the days
sunshine and the evenings star
light, shed. their blessed rays OF
light on a unity of purpose which
includes determination of unity
for the common cause OF nu-
manity, the casting out OF 1ndlVid-
,Ial hatreds and spites, and de-
termination to keep the United
States of America, a country Oh
loving, loyal, devoted, hate-free
citizens.

Speaking of Sports -
Prep Boxing
Seen as Ideal
Athletic Plan
By ROBERT McSHANE

A MATEUR boxing as q sport
ranking equal to football, bas-
ketball. hockey or any Of the others
has been long advocated by Ed
Haislet, director of Golden Glove &C.
tivities in the state of Minnesota and
one Of the most ardent boxing enthu-
siasts Of the nation.
Haislet fathers an ambitious pro-
gram which is backed by the Min
neapolis Star-Journal. co-supervisor
Of the Golden Glove tournament in
Minnesota. He believes every
school should include the sport ON
its athletic program; that every
fighter should wear q protective he'll
met, and that thumbless boxing
gloves should be used by amateurs.
The helmet protects the head and
eliminates cauliflower ears. Eyes
would be protected from gouging
with the thumbless glove.
It is Haislet's claim that boxing
will make better men of the partic-
ipants; that no other sport can
exceed fighting in developing CO.
ordination and skill. building the
body or satisfying the emotional as
pect Of competition.

CPOT AND HEAD PIN BOWL
~ ING. Spot bowling should not be
tried by new bowler unless he is
confident that his delivery is truly
grooved. When you bowl at a spot
you are taking for granted that ev-
erything else in your approach and
delivery is correct. There are only
a few true spot bowlers-that is,
bowlers who deliver their balls with
out actually seeing the pins during
delivery. q
A true spot bowler will pick a spot
at a point where he expects to set
the ball down on the alley, set his
body on the approach accordingly,
address the pins, look at them for
the first step or two to keep his body
in line, and then concentrate on the
spot, without looking at the pins I'M
til the ball is delivered.
The head pin bowler is one who
addresses the pins, draws an imagi-
nary line from the pocket to the spot
on the alley where he will set his
ball down, sets his body accordingly
and then fastens his eyes on the
object he expects to hit. Some
bowlers combine spot and head
pin bowling. picking spot far
enough down the alley so they can
watch the spot and also see the
pins in the background.
