KANSAS CITY, Jan. l8.-It's un-
fortunate that Abraham Lincoln
who loved to measure height with
every tall character he met, couldn't
have lived until basket ball was in
vented.
For, although every one knows
that body architecture is as impor-
tant to basket ball player as it is
to a Hollywood starlet, it's still sur
prising to see how the tall boys
dominate the game
Take the last Associated Press
poll of the Nations collegiate high

If laid end to end, would string bean
out for 621a feet, or feet 3 inches
apiece, even though Oklahoma's s.
foot 5-inch Harold Hines whacks
down the average.
Basketers Grow to Feet.
Just to show you how times have
changed, Biographer Carl Sandburg
relates that Lincoln, while inspect
ing the 93d Pennsylvania Volun-
teers, was delighted to discover thai
one of the young gents, Mahlon
Shaaber, uncoiled to feet 615
inches. He called Shaaber forward

Abraham Lincoln, 6-4; Vice Presi-

just how Hines managed to come
disguised as knee pad and move
into this select company is some
thing of mystery. But this talented
peewee is an all-around athlete-a
crackerjack infielder in baseball and
a State champion in badminton and
table tennis.
His coach, Bruce Drake, says
Hines can do any basket ball chore

the city to collect $25 a day in li- quidated damages after August 20.
 The contract calls for replace ment of the existing flooring with steel beams and open gird deck ing. It also demands that any necessary repairs developing within six months after completion of the job must be taken care of by the contracting firm.
 Actual cost of the job will be approximately $25,0O0, according to figures available in the office of City Controller Cornelius F. Ma loney. The Daddano Company was awarded the contract on the basis of its low bid of $12,920. In addi- tion to this the city earlier in 1945 purchased the steel beams and the griding from the Berlin Construc- ton Company and Irving Subway Grating Go. at costs of $3,280 and $8,727.l5, respectively.
 Originally the job as planned for 1914, but the city was unable to procure the steel decking until early this year. Set up in the Street Department budget for repairs to bridges as an item of $14,O0O. This was supplement by two transfers, one of $7,000 in May and another of $10,0O0 in June.
 Supt. Herbert Scott-Smith stated when original plans for repairing the bridge, which has been in poor condition for a number of years, were discussed that if the existing structure were ever abandoned or replaced the steel flooring could be used on one of several other bridges throughout the city, which now have wooden surfaces. Use of the Washington Avenue bridge is closely tied up with State Highway Department plans for new route cutting across South Waterbury and linking with the routes going west from Waterbury.
