SPORTS PARADE
BY JACK CUDDY

NEW YORK, Feb. II. (UP)--We
congratulate the Brooklyn College
faculty upon its sensible and cour-
ageouS decision to continue partici-
patton in big time" basketball, de-
spite the recent betting scandal in
volving five of its players.
The B. c. faculty will be criti-
cized roundly by many educators
and athletic directors for its stand;
but it seems to us that the Brook
lyn profs carried out the American
tradition of refusing to let scandal
halt progress. Our naticn would not
be tops today had its leaders in in
duStry, finance, transportation and
even government done an about
face and gone snail time" when
their enterprises we're threatened
by dishonesty or any other evil.
WILL BE CRITICISED
Brooklyn Colleges Endorsement
of the big-tinle sport, as promoted
at Madison Square Garden and 9TH
er large arenas, will be criticised
by those who have been campaign
ing to take the game away from
outside promoters and bring it back
to the campus. Leaders in this back
tc c-the-gymnasium campaign insist
that only such a return to the
small can curtail the current
widespread betting on basketball
and prevent crooked gamblers from
trying to bribe players to throw
games.
Whether the back-to-the-campus
campaigners are right, we do not
know. 1t must be remembered, in
connection with increased basket
ball betting, that wagering en- all
forms of take-a-chance zoomed re-
markably in the United States dur
ing the past 10 years. Betting ex-
banded on baseball, football, box
ing and the handle" on racing hit
fabulous figures. Even the theaters
and some church-Social Organlza-
tions went in for the bingo. An &C
companying increase in basepall
betting was only natural.
PUBLICITY IN GAME
IL Is TRUE IbdI WdSCihiS oii WAY
hoop game may have been stimu-
lated somewhat by the increased
publicity basketball received since
it began using Madison Square Gar
den as a show window 10 years ago.
Elimination of the large arenas and
their double header" games prcb-
ably would result in let-down on
publicity; but we doubt that that
would decrease the yen for wager
ing among confirmed basketball bet
tors, any more than the current
shortage of cigarets has dulled the
desire for smoking amcng users OF
the fag.
Anyway, the whole argument
seems nonsensical to us. It's like
controversy over whether accidents
would be eliminated if people quit
using automobiles and returned to
the horse and buggy; or whether
banks should be closed because the
availability of so much money
tempts bank employees; or whether
the movie industry should be forced
to move out of Hollywood because

1t has a sense Of humor drawn from
happenings I'm his life to illustrate
the Lesson application to daily ex-
periences. He knows the Bible ex-
tremely well and has q remarkable
memory to add to his fluent way of
talking"
A native of Canada, Mr.. Ruthven
first began teaching at Calvary Bap-
tist Church In Chicago in 1902. He
took over the group with only eight
boys in 1t and left with an enroll
ment Of 80. He next taught at
Morgan Park Baptist Church In
Chicago, serving ut the same time
as superintendent of the Sunday
School.
Mr.. Ruthven came to Washington
In 1918 as manager of the telegraph
department of Armour 81 Co. He
had previously worked for the con-
cern in South Omaha, Nebr., and
Chicago. He retired in 1898 after
50 years Of service. Later that same
year he was made executive secre-
tary of the First Baptist Church, =
position he still holds.
An important adjunct of Mr..
Ruthven's teaching is the placing
of Bible on each students chair.
He has the students read the pas
sage under discussion, in that way
bringing to them an intimate knowl-
edge of the Bible. He also uses
the blackboard to write pertinent
observations or short poems illus
trating points In question.

ter, Mrs. James G. McManaway, ut
