up with the ball in a nice. smooth

possible, take 100 foul shots every

Mary teams use the one-hand

However, II you see that you can

in taking an occasional one -hander

WHO WANTS TO FLY
A CLIPPER?

Dick Hardy and his uncle were re-
turning from the seaplane base at
La Guardia Field In New York.
Dick was so excited he could not
stop talking.
Gee, Uncle Horace. wasn't 1t
great? Walking along that prone
made deck, then seeing the fligh,
watch room. Best of all, though. I
liked watching the Clipper come in.
Uncle Horace. what does 1t take to
be Clipper pilot?"
Uncle Horace smiled. 1T takes q
great deal. Dick. Most of the Clip
per pilots come direct from the Navy.
That's easy to understand. I think,
because Clippers are really flying
boats. To operate them, . pilot
must be as proficient in maritime
subjects as he Is in flying. The few
Clipper pilots who aren't Navy
trained are college graduates who
majored in aeronautical engineering
and who hold the commercial pilot 8
license with the proper number OF
flying hours"
That doesn't scare me-" Dick
boasted.
I'm not through yet" Uncle
Horace reminded his nephew.
Granted you are an ace Navy flyer
or a commercial pilot with ample
experience, you're still a cub. Being
a cub. you go to a special company
training school where you take ad-
vanced courses in meteorology, radio
communications, and tfafilc and air
line operations. Finishing this, you
may get time on the Clipper. Not
as q pilot, but as . steward, q me-
chanic or an assistant radio op-
orator.
Again you study until you are
properly licensed as . mechanic,
an engine mechanic. q radio op-
orator, a navigator and an instru-
mentman. Then it means study
once more until you have mastered
one foreign language or more and
passed a rigid examination in both
international and maritime law
Having done this. you've graduated
from a cub into q junior pilot. But
you must add 1000 more hours to
your flying time before the title of
senior pilot appears back Of your
name"

A picture painted on . piece Of

"The hardtack was issued to SOL
diers as a part of their rations,"
Barbara explains. 1.-THE painting
was done by Leo Feuchter, a mem
ber Of the 7th Ohio Regiment Band.
At the top Of the hardtack, there
is a small arch with the name Camp

no larger than my thumbnail but
perfect in every detail. It shows a

surrounding 1t. A tree appears IN

give 1t a smooth finish.
"All these guns" he continued.
*have interesting histories behind
them. My Springfield rifle, for in
stance was manufactured during the
World War, and has ancestors dating
back to the time of George Washing
ton. It was under Washington's ap-
proval that Congress established two
national arsenals. They chose
Springfield. Mass, in the north and
Harpers Ferry, w. Va. in the south
as the permanent locations. The
manufacture of arms began in 1875
at Springfield"
Subsequently under the able di-
rection of the United States Army
Ordnance Department, the Spring.
field Arsenal maintained splendid
record in service in all national
emergencies. 1t reached daily out
put Of we'll over 1000 Springfield
rifles daily in 1918.
Also among David's collection are
some German and French rifles and
revolvers and two As Colt Army
guns, one an automatic and the
other a revolver
Samuel Colt, inventor Of the re-
volving barrel, is supposed to have
gotten the idea from watching
ships wheel and noting that the
spokes always returned in perfect
line with a clutch that locked the
wheel in position with any spoke
that was in line with it," David said
From observing this feature Of the
wheel, Colt conceived the idea OF a
revolving cylinder bored for num-
ber OF chambers which would hold
shells, and bring them in line with q
single barrel through which they
might be discharged. Colts revolv-
ers were first used In Florida In the
campaign against the Seminole In
dians."
David's collection consists mostly
Of World War guns. but he has a
single-shot Springfield rife and a
Spanish Mauser rife which were
used during the Spanish-American
War. Army swords and bayonets
are attached to several Of these
rifles.

By Elizabeth Fitzpatrick. IS,
Naefarland Junior Hiah School

One night when I had nothing to
do, and could not 60 out because
it was a cold winter night, de-
cided to go roller skating. Where?
Why not in my own basement? 1
Immediately went down and started
skating and soon was Joined by my
two brothers, Jimmy, IA, and Paul,
II.
After we had skated a while, We
decided to put aside some Of the
articles that were in the basement
so We would have more room. When
everything had been cleared. we
surveyed the results with satisfac-
ton.
The next evening we invited some
OF our friends over to skate with
us. Since the basement Is not too
large, we cannot have many, but we
do have 8 or 10 each night, counting
my brothers and myself.
The first week was spent fixing
up the basement so We could enjoy
1t for the rest Of the winter. Now
every night about 6 O'Clock, when
all Of us have finished our home
work, we skate In the basement.
When we first started skating in
the evenings, we just did plain skat-
ing, but now we try to do fancy
numbers. Believe me, it's not easy
because it takes practice and skill
and occasionally we end up with
minor bruises. Some Of us have
even learned to tap and jump rope
on skates, while others have learned
to do fancy turns. We also have a
race now and then. Sometimes
when we have finished skating, we
pop corn, which is loads Of fun.
Some Of the people who 60 up
and down the street in the evenings
want to know where all the laugh
ing and singing is coming from.
When they find out it's just boys
and girls skating in the Fitzpatrick
basement, they are pleasantly sur
prised, and some have even asked
if they might join us.
We plan to continue our skating
all during the winter, when the
nights are too cold to go out. It's
loads of fun skating indoors with a
crowd. Why don't you try 1t some
time? I'm sure you will enjoy 1t
as much as we have. Last but not
least, there's the element Of safety.
The basement is much safer than
the street.

And clean the house up right,
They have to read and never

Learn them correctly ana you u
save yourself and your coach-not to
mention your team lot OF Uief.
First of all. make sure you have
the right equipment. Do you have
q gym suit that fits properly? You
don't want to be hindered by q
small suit or one that is too large.
You'll be surprised how much OF
q difference a snug hitting uniform
will make In your playing. Above
all, be sure you have a good pair
of tennis shoes. properly laced. Bis
ters are serious business.
Get the best basketball available.
Like the good carpenter or me-
ohanic, who uses the best tools
available, the basketball player must
be well equipped.
Before vs start practicing, let's
get one thing straight. Never fool
around on the floor. When you step
onto the gymnasium court be Sc
rious. Leave your tricks and Jokes
In the locker room.
Since q team can't win unless 1t
shoots well, let's first take up the
fundamentals of shooting, or of1en-
sive basketball. You'll get along
better if no more than two men
use each ball. In that way every
boy will get plenty Of practice. Not
more than 10 players, lined up close
to the center of the floor, should be
tossing at the basket. Thus there
can be two lines stretched across
the court. with as many as 20 boys,
evenly divided. shooting ut the two
baskets. Shoot straight for the bas-
ket. The blackboard Is only for side
and lay-up shots.
To get . set shot away cleanly,
keep the feet close together for bal
ance. with your knees bent slightly
forward. This position places the
whole weight Of the body on the
balls of the feet and gives . nice
follow-through. The ball Is held
chest high and is not touched by
the heels Of the hands.
Remember this: All shooting
must be done from a set position,
never when on the run. Once set.
bend forward and come up with q
spring straight into the air. Re
lease the ball and follow through.
It is just as essential to follow
through in shooting for . basket as
1t is in swinging q golf club or .
tennis racket.
Keep practicing every day. about
30 minutes each session. And don't
follow up your long set shots with
layup shots, as Is the practice in
most high schools and colleges. Save
time and energy. Have teammate
under the basket throw the ball
back to you. and alternate with him.
Shooting and returning the ball
combine the fundamentals of the
game.
In shooting fouls, the feet should
be spread apart from II to 18 inches
Experiment and find out for your
self what distance is most comfort
able. Grasp the ball lightly on
both sides and keep it a little abov'
