MOST MODERN OF

STANDING GUARD
OLD RELIC SUCCESSFULLY
RETURNED TO GAME BY
COACH OF POINT CRAZY
RHODE ISLAND FIVE

KINGSTON, r. l., Feb. H.
Your Aunt Matilda, who's gigg-
ling her head off over the way
Sophisticated mod ems have
adopted her old split skirt styles,
doesn't have a thing on Frank
Keaney.
Keaney coaches the craziest,
point gettin'est machine in this
point-crazy basketball era-and
one Of his major cogs is a stand
ing guard.
Now that Standing guard"
stuff in basketball went out just
about the time Aunt Matty was
putting her split skirts away in
the attic mothballs.
But Keaney uses a standing
guard on his, Rhode Island bas-
ketball team, the outfit which
outmoderned every modern crew
in the land in winning its first
ten games and averaging n points
contest-almost two a minute
Very Funny
Funny? Keaney thinks it's a
howl. And he thinks the funniest
part of the whole situation is the
guy who plays his standing guard.
He's Warner Flip) Keaney,
team captain Weighs $50, stands
6 feet 4.
Frank loves the Flipper like a
son, which is perfectly natural.
Flip's the image of his coaching
dad.
The nickname Flip, says War
ner's pop, came from the way
Warner shoots on the rare occa-
sions when he takes a shot. He
holds the ball straight out, drops
his hands from the wrists, and
flips.
Flip's job is to guard that bas-
ket. Quite job on the Rhode
Island outfit because outside of
Flip no one is supposed to pay
too much attention to defense,
except in the front court. Up
there three men crowd the OPP
ponents every time Rhode Island
loses the ball.
He Can Move
If the enemy gets the ball away
toward their own basket on
quick maneuver it's pretty much
up to Flip to stop the attack. And
he's surprisingly agile for his
build. Where he shines brightest,
though. is in picking that ball off
the blackboard. Two hundred and
fifty pounds of leaping avoirdu-
pois is a pretty convincing argu-
ment in a rebound tusstle and
Warner usually comes down with
the ball.
Then Flip zips it out to a
streaking forward, often the
length of the court on a line as
straight as a bullets path-and
Rhode Island has scored its two
points for that minute.

ACTION FIRsT-THEN TALK

Sports Editor, The Citizen
What has happened to the rec
reation Program that was so much
talked-up just recently? Has II
died" or is it just sleeping LOT
a while?
Whatever the cause, the pro-
gram should not be discarded en-
tirely. Key West sorely needs
such recreation as proposed by
the joint committee of elected OF
ficials and service and civic rep
reSentatives.
The only sport now active mere
is basketball. Coach John Otfutt
is doing splendid job of provld-
ing clean, wholesome exhibitions
of this sport, and at the same time
is furnishing an outlet for the
pent-up competitive yearnings OF
the service and civilian cage
players.
All we need at present is a site
for winter sports until April
when the baseball and softball
seasons open. A Community
Center, providing dancing and
favorite games Of the less active,
would be another step in the
right direction. For music7lov-
ers, the WPA band could play
weekly concerts,
There is room at Bayview Park
for three more tennis courts,
which, combined with the two
there at present and others scat
tered over the city, should am
ply take care of the ardent fol-
lowers of this sport. Baseball and
diamondball games in the near
future could provide recreation
for large number of players
and fans.
The present method of "all talk

be replaced with action. We, must
get together and do things. We
can talk as we Systematically put
the program on an active basis.

MOTORISTS
MUST DIM
THEIR LIGHTS
Failure To Obey New
Law Makes Offenders
Liable To Fine

Motorists failing to dim their
headlights when approaching anoth-
er car on Maryland highways will
be subject to arrest and fine after
June 1, the Maryland Traffic Safety
Commission announces.
Failure to comply with the new
"dimming headlights law, effective
June 1, will make offenders liable to
IS fine for the first offense and to
penalties varying from $40 to $25
fine for subsequent convictions.
The new law, passed by the recent
Legislature, was signed by Governor
O'Conor recently. 1t exempts mo-
florists on dual highways from its
requirements.
The Maryland Traffic Safety Com
mission has waged constant cam
paign against glazing headlights
ever since it was formed by Cover
nor O'Conor in September, 1899.
In statement, the safety COM
mission said:
While many motorists have seen
the advantage of 'dimming their
headlights both for their own safety
and the safety of their fellow tray
elers, they have done so as a matter
OF suggestion and because they were
vitality interested in the cause of
safety, and not because they were
required to do so by law.
However, with the passing of
House Bill 103, and the signing by
the Governor, this means of protect
ing travellers from temporary blind
ness and possible accident or death
on the State highway becomes man
datory''.

APPOINTED
TO CARRY ON
HOSPITAL CAMPAIGN
Secretary Employed To Take Care OF Pledges
And Subscriptions For Building Fund

The final report meeting of the
captains, representing 800 workers,
in the Union Hospital Building Fund
campaign, held May 10th, showed a
total of $66,649.31 subscribed for
the new building. While the active
canvas of the campaign organization
ended May 10Th, General Chairman
e. D. E. Rollins announced the ap-
pointment of committee, repre-
senting the various districts of the
County, to carry on the clean up
work of the campaign.
This has been glorious piece of
work., said Mr.. Rollins, "and 1 am
proud to have been associated with
the men and women who have per-
formed SO valiantly in this great eff
fort to provide better hospital facil-
tiles for our pepole. There is still
work to be done Many people have
not been seen. Any one who cares to
forward their contributions can do
so, either addressing them to me or
the hospital. I am appointing a
clean up committe composed of the
following: Mrs. ]. Mercer Terrell,
Miss Kathryn T. Schaefer, Mr.. Car
rol Short, Mrs. Miller Hall, Mrs.
Robert Mackey, Mrs. R. C. Dodson,
Mr.. Norris Reynolds, Mrs. Wilmer
Jackson, Mrs. Chas. Otis McCauley,
Mr.. Gwyn Goodman, Mr.. Joseph r.
Grant, Mrs. H. A. Cantwell and Mr..
H. E. Mcbride. Among the colored
group, Mr.. Chas. w. Caldwell, and

those associated with him will con-
tinue the work among their people.
Mr.. Rollins pointed out that he
hoped every campaign worker would
consider carrying through on any
cards still left in his hands. A secre-
tary has been employed by the Board
of Directors of the Union Hospital
to take care of the collection of
pledges and see that all future sub
scriptions are placed in the build
ing fund.
The colored people of Cecil Co.
have performed a remarkable feat
by securing more than $1,10O from
their group to build the colored
nursery in the new hospital. The
balance necessary to erect this de-
partment, as a memorial to the col
ored citizens of Cecil Co., is being
provided by a group of public spir-
tied citizens of the County.
OF the nine districts in the coun-
ty, the three top ranking ones in
producing for the Building Fund are
the Third, Second and Fifth. The
workers i'm the Third District pro-
duced $12,031.5O. Those in the
Second District produced $7,737.5O.
While the teams in the Fifth Dis
trict came in with $6,729.51.
The Seventh District ranked next
The Ninth followed closely. The
First was next. The Fourth and
Sixth ran a close neck and neck
race. The Eighth trailed the pack.
