 In one Of those tournament games. Mikan racked up 53 points against Rhode Island State. And just in case you think he was picking on little guys. he scored 34 points in an- ether contest against Bowling Green Don Otten, an undernour- ished little article of some six feet, II i-2 inches.
 25 Points Per Game
 As this season barreled along. Mikan in six victories has averaged 25 points per contest. One Of the victims was the Oklahoma Aggies. NCAA champs Of last year who beat DePaul in a bout for the mythi- cal national crown as Mikan sat on the sidelines after fouling out. Revenge came in 46-42 win over the Aggies this season, with Mikan outplaying and outscorlng seven- foot Aggie Ace Bob Kurland, 25 points to Is.
 He's greater than he was last year and I didn't think that was possible" Aggie Coach Henry Iba said after his defeat. His left hand shot is more perfect and he leads the fast break down the floor in stead of tagging like other big fel- lows. He'd be star if he was a foot shorter.
 DePaul would miss big George sorely. For his replacement is his baby brother-six foot, seven inched (Moose) Mikan, who has a long way to go to match George. But II would be a big break for the pros should they get for free the pack age they offered $5,000 for last season.

may sound foolish, but it is a good
practice.
Puppies require little or no
attention to their teeth until they
are about four months of age. Nor
mally at that time they start to
lose their puppy or milk teeth
which are in turn replaced by a
permanent set. During this period
of dentation it may become neces-
sary to pull out one of the loose
puppy teeth in order that a per-
manent tooth underneath may
come into place properly. The
eruption of the permanent teeth to
displace the milk teeth is a grad
ual process, but, it is at this time
that puppies are prone to convul-
sions. It your pup seems to be hav-
ing trouble, and has a sore or ten

GIVES LIFE FOR HIS DOG

This column has related many
instances in which a dog has saved
the life of his master at the ex.
pense of his own. Today i am
going to tell you about thirteen
year-old boy and his dog, but in
this case it was the boy who gave
his life to save that of his cher.
ished pet.
The, boy was Stanley Smith, who
lived with his widowed mother in
an apartment house in Jersen City.
It was Saturday morning a few
weeks ago and Stanley was play
ing with his pet in the yard when
his mother called him to lunch.
Followed by the dog he trudged to
the top floor apartment where they
lived. During the meal the dog be-
gan to bark and run back and
forth toward the door leading in
to the hallway. At first Stanley
thought the dog wanted to play, but
as the animal continued his

Disregarding the flames and
smoke the boy climbed down to
rescue his pet. Grasping the ex-
cited terrier and tucking it under
one arm he started. up the fire es-
cape. Before he could reach the
top a cloud of smoke and flame
rolled over him causing him
to lose his grip and topple to the
ground, his dog with him.
Both boy and dog were serious
ly injured. The terrier recovered

THE REASON FOR
ONE MEAL A DAY

The. reasoning back of the
theory that a grown dog should
be given only one large meal a
day is based upon the way the
animals digestive system oper-
ates. Food passes quickly through
a dogs stomach into the intestines
where the digestion actually takes
place. About ID hours are required
for this digestive process. But feed
ing only one meal day does not
permit the system to become over
filled. r-.
