Butterflies Eueru Time She Ice Skates

IF you were one Of the 500 fans
who lined the shores of Boat Club
Bay last Sunday. chances are you
didn't see any butterflies.
They were there, though. And a
lot Of them. The reason you didn't
catch . glimpse of them was be-
cause they were in the stomach Of
one Of the nations most outstand-
ing woman skaters.
They were in the stomach Of Miss
Lorraine Sable.
Not that Miss Sable makes
steady diet of these creatures. but
she swears that they are always
present Just before a big race
and 1t isn't a very comfortable
feeling" she points out.
With or without butterflies. Lor-
faine topped Sundays card Of ma
tionally famous speed skating stars
by outskating the famed Wrona
sisters Of Saginaw. In three out Of
four senior women's events.
THAT was the biggest thrill Of
my Me. Cause I finished ahead of

Comets Run Wild Against ST. Francis:
Score So Points In Season Finale

Mt. Carmel's Comets staged a
wild and woody scoring spree in the
last half Of the seasons final game
that all but nailed st. Francis to
the floor, 1925, last night.
Several hundred Ecorse fans
watched the Comets unleash q
second session attack that I'M
wound with all the precision of a
jeweled watch and rapidly gain
momentum that didn't waver un-
til the final whistle.
Syl Spigiel, Comet ace who has
spanked the team all season, led the
laSt-half attack that netted 80
points and held st. Francis to but
nine.
The final period opened with
Carmel leading, 28-16 and the To-
cal Catholics put on a passing
show that completely dazzled the
Ecorse cagers.
It was Mt. Carmel's 18th victory
OF the season as against three
losses, second only to undefeated
st. Andrews, Third Division, West
Side champ.

Miss Sable does all her training
at Belle Isle, scene of most of her
triumphs.
Only once during her long career,
has Miss Sable suffered injury. She
fell during a championship meet
and received a slight cut over her
left eye land that's not the
only time I've fallen. Any skater,
regardless OF ability, is bound to
take a spill occasionally. But some
how, they never seem to get injured
seriously"
It's hard to determine whether
Lorraine inherited her skating abil-
ity from her family. Her father
distinguished himself as racer, too.
Born in BELGIUM, Mr.. Sable never
used steel tbtGes to show his rae
ing proves, but took part in bicy-
Gle races.
my greatest ambition Is to win
a national championship. And I'm
not going to step until I do" she
declares emphaticaIy.
It's our bet that the serious Miss
Sable will realize that ambition,
soon. Her legs have got what it
takes from the aspect of speed
skating, we mean.

I'VE Amt Got Nuttin!"
BY ERNIE EPPS


John Middiesworth, Bears coach
who has been directing basketball
and other high school activities
longer than he's willing to admit.
points out that the chief reason
Wyandotte athletes are never con-
sistent over a period Of two years Is
the citys pathetically anemic gym
nasium facilities.
mot right here, he says, 'but In
our Junior schsols-if that's what
you want to call them. Lincoln
High, an intermediate school which
should be in a position to supply
our squads constantly with nearly
finished athletes, hasn't even got a
sym. When most Of our first year
men come out for basketball or
football, we even have to start from
scratch to teach them the funda-
mentals of the game.
"In other cities, like Monroe, Riv-
er Rouge or Detroit, by the time a
kid hits high school he's had two or
three years Of playing behind him
and once a powerful team is de-
veloped, these high schools have a
steady stream Of playing talent
funneling In from JUNIOR highs.
"Sure, Wyadotte's had some out
standing teams, but they are spaced
two or three years apart cause it
takes that long to mold them into
first-class unit that can play to-
gether instinctively. And by the
time we've fashioned a powerful
team, it's torn apart by graduation.
Then we start all over again-from
scratch"
MiddleSworth is not the type Of
guy who will make poor excuses.
He feels the grippe is legitimate and
pulls no punches in saying so. For
records sake, the overcrowded, di-
lapidated Lincoln High school, ru-
mored to have been built by the
original Wyandotte Indians as a
place of worship, has less to offer
than the smallest country school.
Only athletic program offered by
the school Is a summer program
which jams the entire student body
into cindery understood play
ground.
II aged buildings add to a city's
beauty, Wyandotte'S got something.

During this preliminary period,

Words mean different things to
every reader and listener, but pic
ture is irrefutable A picture is the
evidence after you have heard one
newscaster tell you a town has been
inundated while another tells you
that there is a foot of water in the
lowlands, but outlying sections are
untouched. The news reels are
there to tell you which one was
right.
There are times, of course, when
newsreels do a job that words could
never do. The excellent photo
graphs of the Hindenburg disaster
should come instantly to your mind.
The explosion of a large dirigible
is not within the experience of too
many people and the news that one
has done so may or may not bring
the right picture before you Any
one who saw those memorable films,
which almost carried with them the
blistering heat, knows, however,
what dirigible explosion looks like,
thanks to the newsreels.
Which brings us finally to the
latest admirable job of the news
cameramen, the reels showing the
explosion of the atomic bomb over
Bikini lagoon. The sight of atomic
fission in violent action is not within
the experience of any great number

Iof us-yet-but these newsreels on
local screens now will give you a
clearer notion of what it is like
than any thousands of words of
description from the correspondents
or any Static-ridden mutteringS
from the radio.
The films make one wonder what
those writer's on the scene, who pro-
fessed disappointment with the
test, were expecting. They may not
have been blinded, radiation burned
or knocked overheard by the Bikini
blast, but that sudden burst of
flame, and the following grumbling
rise OF the doom ridden atomic
cloud, provide. as aWesome sight
as ever you have seen on any movie
screen. Paramount's is the reel we
saw and if the others are edited as
sklllfully, any one of them certainly
is worth your time and money.
