IDEA MAN
The approach of the basket
ball season brings to mind an
other newspaperman with an
idea, Ned Irish You may
know the story of how Ned got
tired of charging through crowds
to get into the pint-sized local
gyms and as a result moved bas-
ketball into the big-time sports
class with his Madison Square
Garden doubleheaders -. H S
main idea was to give the fans a
comfortable place to see their
favorite sport and to give them
good show for their money -.
1t didn't only work here, but
Philadelphia, Buffalo, and Chi
cago have taken up the idea; De-
troit is coming in with big pro-

Columbus, o., have staged few
shows and Cleveland, Kansas

DALLAS, Dec. II -(P- To-

Faculty representatives of the

of the draft situation.
Those sports are likely to be
sharply curtailed, but there are

intersectional games would be
ruled out.

Ter after squeaking through
with 1851 triumph over
Michigan State in the season
opener Monday, will meet a
strong Marquette quintet in Yost
field house Saturday night.
Sophomore Bob Wiese seems
to have won himself a starting
berth by virtue of his scoring
success against the Spartans.
Wiese racked up IL points to
lead the Wolverines though he
had been out for practise only
four days before the game.
Two other first-year men,
forward Harold Anderson and
Guard Dave Strack, will also be
in the starting lineup, which
gives Michigan it's youngest
team in many seasons. Captain
Jimmy Mandler is a fixture at
center and Leo Doyle, a senior,
will handle the right guard re-
sponsibilities.
Wiese is one of four football
players giving signs they will
be extremely useful on the hard
court. Each of them has been
handicapped by lack of practise
But Merv Pregulman, Don
Lund, Don Robinson and Wiese
were all star high school cagers
and they are swiftly regaining
form.
Two Flint youngsters, Ralph
Gilbert and MCrrie Bikoff, are
also receiving much attention.
Gilbert started against Michigan

This will be the second meet

Red Hamill put Chicago out in

Mush March drawing assists.
Toronto then opened up in the
middle period, scoring four
times with Lorne Carr, Reg
Hamilton, Mel Hill and Jack Nc

drew assists on the first two
markers.
1t was the Babe who started
off Toronto's three final tallies

NEW YORK, Dec. 11-(P-
After a session of listening to
some Of the national football
leagues smart guys" who can
see the handwriting on the wall,
YOU were left with the idea to-
day that the gridiron's top pro-
fessional loop probably Will
close up for tho duration.
The chief reasons for suspen-
sion of the circuit-as now ap-
pears likely-are CD the fact
that playing material next fall
is going to be a lot scarcer than
il was in '42-which was bad
enough, the coaches tell you
and (2) the fact that the loops
moguls don't need a crystal ball
to figure out fans aren't going to
force anyone to hang out the
s. r. o. sign next fall, what with
a lot of players gone to war.
plus the extra difficulties OF
transportation.
Even the BOSNIAN of the
highly successful Chicago Bears,
George Halas-whc is now
teaching the Nays VS. fellows
at Oklahoma-has been heard to
tell pals that pro ball, at best,
would be operating under try
ing conditions next season, las
may be expected" So, George
figures. it would be extremely
difficult for the league to go
through with a 1913 campaign.
This is not to say that the cir
cults ten club-owners are 60
ing to announce any decision to
suspend ut their important
meeting in Washington Monday,
even though Danny Reeves, the
Cleveland club owners, has in
dicated he'd be all for that. At
this moment, the magnates are
split up about $3.50 over play
ing next season.

One or two others, with con-
siderable investments, don't
want to leave their money idle.
One has 1928, 900 tied up in his
club, and didn't do too we'll at

However, there's considerably
more than an outside chance
that the loops championship
playoff in Washington Sunday,
between the bears and the re-
venge-seeking Redskins, may be
the last game for the duration.
According to Q couple Of men
close to the league, the mag
mates will probably all see the
light next spring. And one fine
day when the buds are popping
and the hunting season is over,
they'll admit ''c'est la guerre"
and wrap it up until the. war
ends.
The meeting to draft gradual

be called off because nearly all

Ry RUTH TAYLOR

Being citizen in a democracy is a
full time job. In other forms Of gov
ernment, the citizenry make up the
background, appearing only in mob
scenes to cheer on the rulers of the
nation.
But there is no room for part-time
citizens in our form of government.
Our government is us-what we make
it. Ours is the fault if the wheels of
government do not run smoothly, for
the laws we make are the roadbed and
the men we elect are the machine.
Are YOU a parttime citizen? Do you
fulfill all your duties as a voter-do
you just show up at election time to
cast your vote without due cOnSidera-
ton of the full qualifications, record
and principles of all candidates-or do
you help to select proper candidates at
the primaries?
Are you part-time citizen? Do you
obey the laws you have had hand in
making-or is your only thought when
you break what seems like an inconse.
quential little law, how you can gel
away with it?
Are you a part-time citizen? DO you
evince interest in all issues or only in
those problems which directly concern
y0u-and then object when Other
groups do the same and infringe or
your prerogatives? Only as citizens
work for the common good of all can
democracy progress.
