Art Zahn's appointment as
full-time basket ball coach at
George Washington begins
fresh chapter in one of the most
interesting sports careers around
town, for Art grew up on WASH
ington's weedy sandlots and got
his first taste of the game on the
dusty old Plaza Playground that
spawned so many top-flight ath-
letes.
Moreover, G. WIS action means
it intends to have winning COM
binations that will stand up with
the best. DR.. Cloyd Heck Marvin,
far from being the villain some
sports addicts would make him
out, long ago recognized the
urgency of employing a full-time
coach, but had to await the
proper time before bringing in
Zahn off the front step, SO to
speak, and making him a men,
ber of the family.
Basket ball has been a business
with Art since the first time he
was drafted for duty in a pickup
game on the Plaza. During
school holidays such Titans as
Joe Sweeney, Tuba Farrell, Joe
Mitchell, Sally Hanback,, Dave
Keppel, ct al, gathered there and
invariably got to wrangling over
court tactics. They followed the
Palace pros closely and emulated
their favorite players. Naturally,
the only way to settle disputes
was on the outdoor court and
recklessly bet dimes and quarters
in support of rash statements.
Zahn, IL or 13 at the time, was
picked to round out a team and
with big money" riding on the
outcome he had to be as smart
and quick as the older players.
Art has been a money" player
since, always at his best when
the chips are down and has sue
ceeded in imparting that will to
win to his George Washington
squads.
The Colonial coach is making
a clean break with the past in
accepting a full-time assignment.
An analyst in the Bureau Of
Mines where he earned COM
Portable salary, Zahn is taking a
belly -whopper into hard, de-
manding and sometimes brutal
business with both eyes open. A
coach must win to keep the
alumni off his neck and Art
knows G. w. fans, having tasted
a conference title, Southern
style, are smacking their lips
and calling for more. He is con-
dent he'll satisfy that craving
with a share of breaks.
One thing in Arts favor is his
frankness. He gives you straight
answers with no attempt to finn
fam or cover up, which means
hell get good press. He's
unassuming and not too excit-
able,- although he can't help
squirming on the bench when
things aren't breaking his way
out on the floor. His quietness
should not be mistaken for q
lack of basket ball savvy, for he

and knows all the angles.
The Colonial mentor is a
product of the Tin Tabernacle"
days on G street, coming up un-
der Jim PiXlee and Ted OIeary.
Those stars of yesteryear still
joke about packing in the Gus
toners. They always played to
full houses because the place
held less than 500 and standing
space was gone long before game
time. But the teams had genu-
inc box-ofhce appeal, ranking
with the East's best, and would
have filled an arena many times
that size. Zahn never will forget
the year Buck Freeman brought
his potent St. Johns of Brook
lyn squad to town with 15-
game winning streak and won
a 36-to-35 overtime decision when
Wick" ParracK's iast-second shot

Playing conditions are better
now, to some extent, although
the Colonials have to use outside
gyms for ''home" games. George

sweatbox only for practice, but

bosox Loss Of Punch
Is Mystery Despite
Flock Of Injuries
BY the Assoeioisd Press

BOSTON, July 2.-Those head
shaking, muttering citizens seen in
New England gathering places these
sultry days are not affected by the
heat but merely trying to figure out
what's wrong with the Red Sox."
Figuring their heroes would be
somewhat of shoo-in for the pen
nant, especially after the manner
in which they plastered the ball
during spring training, the sports
addicts appear to be at a loss to ex-
plain the presence of their boys" In
second place-51z games behind the
Yankees.
OF course. they point out that Joe
Cronin's charges have been beset by

That's true. But it apparently
goes farther than that.
First, they haven't been hitting

second, the pitching leaves much to
be desired.

Amazing Giants Pack
Punch Unparalleled
In Fans Memory
By Joe ReiehIer
Assoeiafed Press Sports Writer

Associated Press Sports Writer
You simply had to see it to
believe it.
It was a case of mayhem on the
diamond. New York fans. even those
with long memories, will tell you
there never was another National
League team that packed the punch
these Giants of 1947 do.
And If you happened to be a
spectator at last nights teeing off
party at the Polo Grounds against
the Boston Braves, you would be
inclined to agree with them. Train
ing their siege guns at four Boston
pitchers. the Giants blasted away
for 16 hits, including five home runs,
triple and double to win, 1873.
Even the Heavens Weep.
Bobby Thomson slammed home
run. Buddy Kerr hit one. And, OF
course, the humping trio of Johnny
Mize, Willard Marshall and Walker
Cooper nit one apiece. Thomson
diSO SOilLlCCCCo 1Ol d CIACC-UdSSCI.
And Billy Rigney, who celebrated
the visit of his sister and father
from Oakland, Calf, with four hits,
thumped double The only thing
missing was the familiar four-ply
poke of Manager Mel OFT, the old
National League home run king
himself, who must have had that
old nostalgia feeling sitting in the
dugout.
The game, as some may laughingly
call it, was an utter rout. Even the
heavens wept for the Braves Along
about the fourth inning with the
Giants in front. 1913 it began to
rain. The Giants obligingly went
out in order in the fourth and fifth
innings in their waste to beat the
downpour, but once the game be-
came official. they resumed their
furious attack, collecting a couple Of
more needless runs in the sixth.
It was in that inning that Mize,
the majors home-run leader, slam
med his 21st circuit clout, a terrific
wallop high and far over the right
field roof.
80 Homers in 62 Games.
The five homers upped the Giants
total to 80 in 81 games. At this
rate, they should have no trouble
surprising the record number of 1872
hit by the 1886 New York Yankees.
Despite the victory, the Giants re-
mained in third place, but they cut
the Braves first place margin to a
half game. Boston retained its first
place hold over the Brooklyn
Dodgers by two percentage points.
The Brooks lost an opportunity to
take over the league lead when they
blew a So game to the Phils in
Philadelphia earlier in the day.
In the only other National League
game, the st. Louis Cardinals moved
within 31a games of the top by
winning a close 81 game from the
Pirates at night in Pittsburgh.

posed under plan would fall far short
of amount of cheap power needed for

South Dakota: Pick-Sloan plan not
only makes inadequate provision for
power development, but also offers
little opportunity for cheap water
freight development, and provides If
rigation where it is not wanted, and
at prohibitive cost.
Nebraska: Plan, by working from

verting of flood waters from a huge

pense of flooding thousands of acres

Emerson then gives a classic eA
annie of costs under the mass produc
ton system of manufacturing. he
says:
mHc pays $1,000 per hundred
tractors. or 1oc each, for the 1.4o'
minute factory spray-painting oper-
alton performed by six-man team
in the Farmall Works, Rock Island
III. A field repaint job costs
farmer as much as $50 by way OF
comparison"
"These figures" continues Emerson
still do not tell the whole story. The
prices on everything IHC'reduced were
pegged at all-time highs, so that the re-
ductions merely pared off small seal
Ion at the top. INC farm machinery
prices we're raised 5 per cent IN the
fall of 1871. 10 per cent in May, 1916,
and 9 per cent in November 1916. Az
erage price increases on motor trucks
in the Harvester line since 194l have
amounted to So per cent, on 1ndustrlai
power products, "a per cent.
Emerson then points out that an
ever smaller number of workers pro
duce an ever increasing amount OF
manufactured goods and parts At the
same time, manufacturing plant tacll-
tiles have been enormously expanded,
largely through purchase of war plants
for relatively insignificant sums COM
pared to their erection costs, so that
this firm faces the future operating
at undreamed of capacity and profit
levels in an almost limitless interna-
tional sellers market
If this is an example of price cuts,
then we are forced to hold our tongues
in our cheek and look with skepticlsm
on some of the other price cuts that
we have read about All in all, it's a
great system, isn't it? But it's the
bitter truth.-WISC. Flu NEWS.

Further, because of lack of adequate
soil conservation provisions, the dan
ger of Increasingly more disastrous
floods is a certainty.
Kansas: Not only will thousands of
Kansan acres be inundated if Pick
Sloan plan is completed, but, under
it there is little flood protection for
additional thousands of acres. Be
cause of the lack of soil erosion and
conservation provisions the huge con-
templated dams will be filled up with

Iowa and Minnesota: Main interest
of these states is power and fertilizer
development. PickSloan plan does
not fill bill on either.
Colorado: Colorado engineers and
citizens generally are outraged over
the wastefulness surrounding CON
struction of Cherry Greek dam by the
