K. c. Track Comments

The Annual William C. Prout Memo
rial Games proved to be as popular as
ever as a large crowd turned out to
watch the star studded array of talent
vie for indoor honors.
The program was well balanced and
the competition was very, very good.
Two new Boston Garden records were
made as Walter Mehl won the mile
invitational run in 4.09.7 and the great
two miller, Gregory Rice, finished his
race with burst of speed in 9.04.
Jimmy Herbert, the record holder
in the 900 yards run (1.11.01), shows
visible signs of poor condition. He
finished poor last as Roy Cochran
went on to win.
Johnny Borican, holder of the 1000
yards run record (2.0808), finished
third in the invitational Bishop Che
verus run. On the last turn Campbell
Kane, the winner of the event, Jimmy
Kehoe and Borican were punched and
Kehoe gave Borican a push which
caused him to lose his stride. This
action on the part of Kehoe, although
/ legitimate, did not receive the re-
sounding praise of the large gather
ing as it ruined an otherwise stride for
stride finish.
Our own Ed Digger came through
again in grand championship style in
the high hurdles. He showed that fine
form that has stamped him as one of
the country's outstanding hurdlers.
| His winning time of 5.07 secs. equalled
the indoor mark.
In the dash, Digger didn't win a
place but it should be mentioned that
the start of the race didn't look to be
good. 1t appeared as though the win
ner, Weimer, jumped the gun.
Gil Walker of BIC. finished third in
this event but it was the consensus of
opinion that he was the class of the
field. Had it not been for the ques-
tionable start he doubtlessly would
have placed out in front.
The Midget High School Relay Race
was just as thrilling as ever
Mechanics Art won the event. It is
0AWoJo a oOulSC VI plGdSuTG 1OE your
writer to watch these "little fellows
go round and round the Garden
saucer.
There were many colored athletes
running on the various relay teams
Rindge Tech, of Cambridge, had Con-
rad, West and King. Lew Watkins of
Mechanics ran on the team that de-
feated the Rindge boys in matched
race.
Archie Harris, the Big Nine hurdl-
ing champ, ran on the victorious Indi.
ana relay team with Kendall, colored
and Roy Cochran, who won the SOC
yards run earlier in the evening, and
Campbell Kane, who previously had
won the 1000 yards run
Eddie Digger proved himself to be
a great lead-off man on a relay team
as he gave his team a good lead in q
matched race against Colgate. Tufts
victory in this event was all the more
outstanding in view of the fact that
Digger and Hall had started in many
events during the night. 1t was Eddie's
seventh start while Hall wasn't too far
behind.

Spears Defeat
State Champions
In Riotous Game

Scoring the winning three points in
the last two minutes of play after a
brilliant fought game the Senegalese
Spears already State Inter, Champions
defeated the Maiden Royal Celtics
State Senior Champions before a
near record crowd 80 to 20. A foul
shot by Stanfeld and last ten second
floor goal by Montgomery sent a
screaming crowd who several times
held up the game bu surging on the
floor from excitement into a frenzy
which lasted long after the game was
over.
In the beginning it looked as though
the game would be all Celtic as they
dominated the ball and play through
out the quarter. SeemIy fortunate set
shots by Montgomery kept the Spears
in the game but the Celtics were easily
the better clicking team and led to
6. The Spears opened up a bit more
the second quarter in both play and
spirit. Stanfeld put the Spears in the
lead with brilliant shot from the cen
ter and the Spears followed the advan-
tage by speeding the play which was
against the Celtics strategy. A near
fight at the end of the quarter between
Rolly knight and Stanfield drew more
boos from the crowd for the Celtics
than any team has ever received at the
Shaw House. The half score of 13 to
Is didn't last long as the Spears
scored early in the third quarter but
the Celtics came right back to forge
ahead with six fast points. Here the
excitement really started as the Spears
showed for the first time that night
the new offense that was so advertised
before the game. With big Ralph
Tyler as the pivot the Spears set the
crowd crazy with a continuity of
passes that scored eight points before
the Celtics could call time out. The
gym rocked from the screams of the
crowd as the painted warriors held the
ball once for a full 40 seconds without
shot being attempted or a Celtic
touching the ball. The score ended
24-23 for the Senegales at the quarter.
Booker's field goal within five seconds
of the last quarter gave the Celtics the
lead for the last time as the Spears
soon went back into the front with two
goals by Raynor and Tyler. Finally,
with two minutes to play and the score
tie Chick Sales was caught holding
Stanfield who settled back after an off
cial time out to hush the crowd and
sank the tie 30 to 20. The crowd
swarmed over the floor to pat Stan
fields back and the game was held up
again to clear the floor. The Celtics
tried hard to even up but the ball just
wouldn't go in for them. Montgomery's
points put the game on ice and the
State Title into the fire.
Spears play in Painted Faces
The Senegalese Spears played the
entire game in painted war colors in
their game with the Maiden Celtics
They took time out throughout the
game to please the crowd with funny
dances and antics. Before the game
their two witch doctors cursed the
Celtics and prayed to the basketball
god while the amused crowd laughed
They appeared angry when the Spears
took the floor to warm up and brought
plenty of applause with their aero
batic stunts. They received a good
hand on their exit.

Wiring Art
Is Self
Taught

THE ART of writing cannot
be taught. It can only be self
taught. You cannot learn to
swim by watching someone else
perform. You must jump IN
and strike out for yourself.
And so it is with writing. You
can only learn to write by
writing.
The first rule is practice
writing; don't day-dream about
the writing that some day you
are going to start. The second
rule is quantity before quality.
Resolve that by the end OF
three months you shall have
written $4,000 words, which is
after all only the length of a
short novel. Do not be fussy.
Get the words down on paper.
Then improve your style.
The booklet SELF IN

you in on the secrets Of the pro-
fession. Choice of subject, suit
able form. attractive style, are
all ably discussed.

THE SCARLET HILL" by
Frank Owen. published by Car
lyle House, is story of China
or perhaps we should say the
story Of a Chinese maiden who
became the Dubarry of that
country .. little Yang Kuei-fei,
the darling of the emperor, Ming
Huang.
1t was her ambitious uncle
of the house of Yang who made
the deal the beautiful little
Yuhan was no vinegar money
nothing less than a prince
for her.
And so she rode in ricksha
drawn by coolies, through the
streets of Changnan to the inn
perial court and on into the
pear garden where the prince
lived.
Yuhan cared nothing about
the prince. but to live in the
royal gardens now that was
something that would make her
the envy of all China.

individuals walk as much as they

cheeks and sparkle to the eye.
Women who walk daily never

Beauty Aids
For Bridal
Shower
By DONNA GRACE

THERE ARE some very fin
popular soaps quite satisfactory
for most skins, but many girls
ike 70 have something special
for their delicate complexion SO
cosmetic firms have these extra
Inc grades in the best of the
hard finished compositions.
One Of the newest is q cold
cream soap. II is smooth and
fIrm with a delicate lemon scent
that gives the skin youthful
freshness. This is fine for the
complexion and bath as well
Refining Lotion
Another Spring item IS tex
ture lotion a stimulating
LIQUID. II is recommended for
normal. dry or oily skin.
We are advised to apply the
lotion after removing cleansing
cream. II may be used by satu-
rating a pad Of cotton and then
slapping briSkly against the face
aud neck. especially under the
skin. Refreshing lotions should
be cooling so the refrigerator is
the place for them when not in
use.
Include some smart toiletries
in the brides shower and she
will bless you for il. There are,
YOU know, some smart showers
exclusively of beauty products.
There are toilet waters, busting
powders, bath salts and the
various bubble kind. Some of
the old spice aromas and the
floral colognes are fine, too, for
this assortment.
There are new Latin-Ameri-
can makeups nicely boxed in
small packages just right for a
trial OF any selection you make.
Several of these could be in
cluded in your package for use
with different costumes.
Cosmetic Sets
A smart assortment OF one
floral scent such as pink clover
in face powder. cream, founda-
ton and soap would be in
expensive and make a beautiful
contribution.
Many of the fitted boxes are
lovely enough to keep and use
for little things such as sewing
and boudoir knick-knacks.
Brides like decorative perfume
bottles so if she is a close friend
or relative give her one of the
large expensive kind to put on
her perfume shelf. She will
think of you with every whiff
of il.

The Empress

As for the empress. she was a
good woman burdened with jew
els. the pomp of position and a
biting tongue.
And when war came and Ming
Huang was told that the only
way he could save China was to
order the death of the little
concubine, he sobbed:
"NO rather would l see
China In ashes than sacrifice
Yang Kuei-fei"
The roar of battle, the sound
of marching feet. When we think
of the wars China has seen .
it's a wonder there's anything
left of it.

into her brother from a sawed-off
rife as they stood talking with their
mother yesterday in visiting room

Sealed lips concealed the feelings

freely.
I'm very glad. It was the least

suffer. He had talked Of suicide be-

bad he couldn't kill himself, so I de-
