truly appreciated The big part they
have played in our sports life will be
sorely missed, for gone will be those
keen rivalries between teams men,
toned above. Together in camp they
will undoubtedly combine for good
and upon their return there will be
but one team.
It's perhaps the best ending to their
athletic achievements for there have
been visible signs, all season, of other
teams coming to the front The youth
of Greater Boston has organized into
several groups and although it hasn't,
as yet, developed any friendly rival
ries, which always make for greater
entertainment, has made its presence
known to the public. These young
sters have been the chief competitors
of the cold guard, although rele-
gated to preliminary activity. Even
in such roles they have come in for
a major share of the plaudits and
newspaper notices. They are the fu-
ture basketball of Boston. Next sea-
son, with a majority of the athletes
away in camps, they will hold the
SPORTLIGHT inexorably.
All this may not make sense to the
causal sport follower but to those of
us who have been a part of the scene
for years, as players and writers. feel
certain that the places once held by
the Celtics and the Ramblers and any
of the others, which are not in mind
at present, will be relinquished to the
up and coming Youngsters. New
names will come to the front and diff
ferent teams will be cheered and writ
ten about in our papers. Basketball
games which were once the talk of
the season will be supplanted by
Others The whole scene will shift to
other centers. But through it all,
we'll hang on to the memories of yes
teryear. Well think of the Rambler
Gentle games and the Army-Shaw
House.
And when the 372nd has finished
its encampment and once again re-
turns home, may they again take up
where they left off for I feel certain
that the sentiments of the crowd, as
expressed last Friday night, are
well miss you on our sports calen-

THE STORY OF THE WEEK
Army Ready for Camp
Been Big Part of Hubs Life

On last Friday night, at Ruggles
Hall, the largest basketball crowd of
the season gathered to pay homage to
the 372nd team as it made its last
appearance for year. As it was, the
boys in khaki lost the game as their
hosts, the Panthers, were much too
accurate with their goal shooting and
defensive play. But, it was a contest
which saw that OF army spirit come
to the fore repeatedly as the players
made concerted efforts to close up
the score. 1t was, also, a contest
which babe farewell to many of the
athletes who have been entertaining
IN the Hubs sport arena. For upon
their leaving for encampment there
will come whole host of youngsters
to crowd out the remaining "oId
guard" and thus take over the ath-
letic picture
Army Team Made Up OF Three Clubs
The Army aggregation which took
the floor was combination of three
distinct basketball teams which have
been doing business, during the last
couple of years, from different COM
munities. There were members of
the Maiden Celtics, the Medford Ram
blers and players who originally
started with the old Company K team.
Each of these teams have always par
ticipated in our seasonal sports and
have been a source of athletic enter
tainment to the many who enjoy
watching games.
Each year, despite the fact there
has been no league organization,
these teams have competed with the
several other basketball quintets for
a mythical crown. 1t has always been
a jumbled affair but the important
thing of having athletic competition
has been tops. And now, these play
ers, who have taken such a definite
part in such set-up, are being ween-
ed away from our environs by a
greater call . that of National De-
tense.

echoed in their ears during their last

U.S.. Agency Seeks
To Cut Allowance
Given Pensioners
LEGISLATURE Embattled
Over Federal Effort
To Enforce Standards

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 28.
UP)-A major issue is de-
veloping in the legislature
over a demand by the federal
social security board that
California old age pension law be
made less liberal
Pensioners in, California may re-
ceive up to $40 a month in aid,
contributed by the federal govern
ment, the state and the various
counties, and in addition may re-
ceive SIS additional from certain
other sources without deduction
from this allowance.
A federal law which becomes ef-
fective next July l requires, how
ever that the states shall, in de-
termining need, take into consider
alton any other income and re-
sources of an individual claiming
old age assistance
This has been interpreted to
mean that pensioners cannot be
allowed any outside income what
soever without deduction from their
social security checks.
Representatives of the Social Sc
curity board have passed the word
along that unless California's act
is made to conform, all federal So
cial Security aid-which totals
nearly 100000 a month-may be
cut off.
Most members of the legislature
shudder at the thought of clamping
down on the old people, who con-
stitute a rather potent political
force around election time, and
many of the lawmakers frankly
favor a showdown with the federal
authorities over the question of
withholding funds.
In fact, several bills have been
introduced to do directly opposite
