Priddy's Toll al Short
Ends BIuege' 5 Worry
Over Position
By Burton Howkins
Stor Stuff CORRESPONDENT

ORLANDO, FlaSMar. 7.-Whether
it's second base or shortstop, Jerry
Priddy covers geography like q jet
plane in pursuit of speed record.
After one preliminary glance, the
Mats bosses are convinced Priddy
is capable OF making the switch from
second base to shortstop with no
difficulty.
Priddyis sparkling shortstop per-
formance and his hitting highlighted
a Shining tussle here yesterday as
the Yannigans spanked the Regulars,
5-1. Jerry dashed a double and q
triple and smashed across the Regu-
lars only run, but it was his fielding
that got the attention of Clark
Griffith and Ossie Bluege, who liked
what they saw.
If Priddy gave 'em a sample Of
what to expect, the Mats will have
a shortstop of tremendous talent.
In the first inning, he contributed
a nifty backhand pickup of Mike
Dominguez's brisk grounder and
whipped him out from deep short
stop. In the third inning, he in
serted. brilliant backhand stab
Of an Eddie Yost's liner which wrung
cheers from the scattered 300 fans.
Leonard Stars on Slab.
With the exception of a force
play toss at second base, those were
the only chances afforded Priddy to
display his skill at a new Job, but
Manager Bluege has seen enough to
forget about shortstop and direct
his worrying elsewhere.
Bluege isn't inclined to fret about
anything at the moment because
he saw another fine performance
IN the pitching of Rufus Leonard,
a southpaw protege of Bobo New
som's, whose only previous expert
ence was in the Palmetto State
League last season. Rufe yielded
the Regulars run in the fourth in
ming when Stan Spence and Priddy
doubled, but they were the only
hits obtained Off him in his three
inning effort and he showed enough
for Bluege to register enthusiasm.

CIV. Held One 10 BeaI
AS Southern Basket
Play Enters Semis
By MerreII WhittIesey
Stor Stuff CORRESPONDENT

DURHAM, N. c., Mar. 7.-Going
into the semif1nals of the Southern
Conference basket ball tournament
tonight, George Washington's Co.
lonials hold the title of best team
to show to date. The $500 after
noon and 5000 night spectators yes
terday were emphatic in agreement
on that point.
The Colonials were the star per-
formers of the four-game opening
day program. On the basis of Its
easy 70-55 triumph over Washing
ton and Lee last night, G. w. and
not pre-tournament favorite North
Carolina State is the team to beat.
The safest bet of the tournament
is that nobody will be late for to-
nights 7:15 final between George
Washington and the State Colleges
Wolfpack. The Colonials' triumph
tossed a bombshell into. the Wolf
pack rooters, who were visioning the
title without too much trouble en-
route. State lost a lot of its glamour
in cumbersome 55-43 triumph over
Maryland.
The second semifinal will be North
Carolina, 55-43 victor over Rich
mond, against South Carolina, 56-54
conqueror Of third seeded Duke.
Big G.. w. Men Sparkle.
The Colonials and Washington
and Lee tied the modern conference
scoring record with their 125-point
total, but the Generals never were
dangerous. G. w. was Is points
ahead at the end of the first Is
minutes and the margin fluctuated
from IL to 20 points thereafter.
It was day for the big men and
G. WIS contribution was Don Nc
Nary, Barry Kreisberg and Edsel
Gustafson, all towers off both back
boards. 1t was Gustafson, the steady
hand of the Colonials' Conference
champions Of 1943, who came out

Injured Jim Rausch played q few

Coach Art Zahn used the entir.
squad and all scored. He alternated
them to avoid firing. G. w. was too
fast and too tricky for the Generals
who time ana again looked around
to see Bill Cantwell, Art Cerra or
Phil McNif cutting under the bas-
ket for layups.
Terps Scare N. c. State.
Maryland gave the big Carolina
State team one brief scare when it
pulled to 1899 in the second half,
but Bill Brown, first of three Mary
land regulars to foul out, drew his
fifth personal at that point and
State kept parading to the foul line
to make enough points to remain
safely ahead. Maryland came within
one floor shot of matching them in
field goals, but the terps were too
rough.
Dukes exit, strangely enough a
highly poplar one despite the fact
that the tournament is being played
in the Blue Devils model field house,
gave deserving South Carolina
team the only upset Of the first
round.
The North Carolina Richmond
contest was a slow struggle between
the patient Carolinians, who waited
out Richmond's effective zone de-
fense until the Spiders were forced
to come out. Then Carolina in
creased its margin.
North Carolina rules slight choice
tonight as the experts figure S. G.
can't pull two in a row.

Ine second game proved the fea-

the Johnnies came from behind in

the scoring mostly to foul shooting

The Johnnies began clicking in

carried a 1911 lead into the final

Largest Number Of
Workers Covered

Preliminary tabulations of the
Employment Security Commission
show the highest covered employ
ment in the State of Arizona since
this Agency has been in existence,
stated Bruce Parkinson, Director
of the Unemployment Compensa-
ton Division of the Employment
Security Commission.
In January 1916, preliminary
reports covered $4,000 workers and
this number increased to $4,000
workers by the end of the last
quarter in December 1916. This
figure was exceeded only once dur
ing the war period, in November
1912, by small margin of approx
mately 200 workers. Part of the
increase is. due to seasonal employ
ment in wholesale and retail trade
and a portion is due to the number
of small manufacturing plants es-
tablished in the latter part of the
year.
It is interesting to note, however,
that the number of workers in all
major industry groups increased
from the close of the third quarter
in September 1916 to the close of
the fourth quarter in December
1916. The largest increase was in
wholesale and retail trade.

NATURE
Rambling Thoughts BY The
Philosopher

When we speak of Nature we do
not speak of what we can see, but
of something behind that which we
see.
Nature is in no hurry. It is only
mankind that hurries.
There are many things very
beautiful in Nature, but many
things grotesque, such as the
monsters of the sea.
When painters reproduce little
bit of Nature they are highly graft
fled, yet Nature paints the most
superb pictures constantly, whether
there are those to see them or
not.
All that lives comes from Ma
ture. She seems to be rhythmic as
to her lives. She produces plants
in their season, and men in their
generations, but the race continues.
Very little first-class literature
has been written under the direct
inspiration of Nature. Nature is
usually too strong for the writer's.
1t is characteristic of Nature that
it goes on while life stops. Nature
has her ebb and flow, but it is eter-
nal 1t was here before we ar
rived; it will be here when we have
gone.
There is nothing moral or i'm
moral in Nature. She has her own
code.
There is infinite variety in Ma
ture, and yet the strictest adher-
ence to law.
There is abundance, generosity
and waste in nature, yet there is
no waste. The leaves of the trees
return to soil from which they
came. Whatever Nature produces
may fail in it's object, but it sue
ceeds in some other object.
Nature produces nothing that is
alive and also straight. Her sign
manual is the curved line for living
things. Among dead things I do
hot know of anything straight
which Nature produces except
quartz.
Nature is discordant and minor;
and yet those who are accustom-
ed to listen to her know that she is
deeply musical.
The most beautiful objects of
Nature depend upon water, for it
is water that makes the clouds, the
colors of the sunset and of the sea.
All obey Nature, yet is she not
masterful or petulant.
Two of the greatest men who
ever lived have had for their motto
Return to Nature" One was the
Frenchnan, Rousseay, and the
other was the Chinaman, Lao Tzu.
Lao Tzu said:
"The highest goodness is like
water, for water is excellent and
benefiting all things, yet it does
not strive. It occupies the lowest
place which men abhor."
We do not understand Nature
because we do not understand wa
ter.
Lao TZu says again:
There is something chaotic, yet
complete, which existed before hea-
ven and earth. It stands alone
without change, reaching every
where without suffering harm. It
must be regarded as the mother of
the universe. It's name I do not
know. Endeavoring to describe it
I call it Great"
