er, in his way, is stationary and
remains so. If the offense fails
to swerve and touches the sta
tionary defense, he is foulded for
charging. A player is entitled to
take any position on the court not
occupied by another player, pro-
vided that this position is as
sumed in time to permit n moving
opponent to deviate his course of
movement"
You're right, mister, it's prac-
tically hairline decision at
times, and that's when the official
is sorry the spectators couldn't
have been close to that particular
play.
New basketball rules this year,
Mr.. Schlea points out, are: all
jump balls are at center or one
of the two foul shooting lines; all
players are requested to raise
right hand when they have COM
mitted fouls; and team members
may talk to coaches during time
outs and intermissions.
A one-point victory game is the
biggest headache for an official
and consequently his biggest grippe.
Spectators wouldn't mind having
that eliminated either for that
matter. 1t gripes them too--no
end. Officials dislike it because
of the strain of close watching
during such crucial period.
Spectators don't like it because
of the upset feeling at losing by
such a narrow margin. Overtime
periods aren't nearly so rough.
Contrary to what you may have
thought in the heat of close
game, officials are required to
meet very definite standards be-
fore they are granted licenses for
officiating. To get his first Ii
cense, an official must pass exam
nations on the sports for which
he intends officiating given by the
Ohio State Athletic Association.
These are renewed annually. He
most belong to his local organiza-
ton, and he must attend at least
four of the weekly meetings of
this group during the season of
the sport for which he is officiat-
ing.

ciating for some 10 years, not only
in basketball, but also in football,
baseball and softball. Back in
1881 to 1885, Mr.. Schlea was a
four letter man in basketball,
three letter man in football and
two letter man in track at Glib
sonburg High School. He still
resides in Gibsonburg and is an
employee at Erie Ordnance Depot,
Lacarne.
During the war he served with
the First Armored Division for
nearly five years, participating in
it's invasion of Africa. He was
wounded in this campaign, re-
ceiving the Purple Heart. While
convalescing from an illness in
Grille General Hospital during his
last year of service, his yen for
sports came to the fore again, and
he served as athletic ard calls

patients.
According to Mr.. Schlea, Off
cials. concentrate on the game in
front of them, and call all plays as
they see them without favoritism.
Of course, part Of their calm,
cool and collected manner derives
from the paradoxical saying in
athletic circles, 'The officials may
not always be right, but he is
never wrong!" -
Every year, Mr.. Schlea an
nounces most seriously: "This is
my last year of officiating" But
the next season finds him doing it
again, and liking his contacts with
players, coaches and crowds, even
though an official is bound to
catch proverbial boos at one time
or another from either or all of
them.
The fine distinction between
what is known technically as
blocking and charging arouses the
quickest and most emotsional re-
action Of spectators, according to
Mr.. Schlea.
"The entire group of one teams
supporters will howl their open
displeasure when their favorite
player is fouled for charging,
when they feel the opponent was
blocking, or vice versa,s" he says.
He offers this example of this
technicality. "a player dribbling

WASHINGTON - amp - Not
often does a doctor of philosophy
dissertation become a book a nd win
acclaim from the important critics
of London. But that Is exactly what
has happened to a Ph.D. study writ
ten by DR.. Arthur p Davis, pro-
fessor of English at Howard uni
versity and recently cited as "the
outstanding graduate" of Hampton
institute.
The book is Isaac Watts: His
Life and Works" and was written
in 1943 as a doctoral dissertation at
Columbia university, from which
Davis received his Ph.D. degree.
Like most such scholarly tones, only
400 copies were printed and these
were largely sold to libraries and
universities.
1t was well accepted as a learned
product, but no one dreamed it
would become a book read by large
numbers Of people in ire British
Isles. But the reports reaching this
country verify this.
"Who was Isaac Watts?" is a fit
ting question to ask.
Isaac Watts was an English
churchman who died on November
25, 1748, but who became world-fa-
nous for the hymns which he
wrote. Best known of his hymns in
America is "Our God Our Help In
Ages Past" He is distinguished by
being often called the Father of
English Hymnology."
1t was to celebrate the goth ami
versary of his death that the indie,
pendent Press, Ltd, of London. Sc
lected DR.. Davis study, after it had
examined several other books and
manuscripts. The English edition
was reprinted from the Dryden
Press volume of 1913.
The famed London Times has
carried two reviews Of the Davis
book, one in its educational supple
ment.
appropriately, Mr. Davis book
on Isaac Watts :. his been made
available to English readers in the
year of the Discretionary of Watts
death .. The book shows the care
full scholarship and Recommendation
that we have learned to expect from
American biographers, and also has
the advantage, not common to all
of them, Of simple, straightfor-
word style well suited to the sub
ject. Though there have been
number Of previous lives of Watts,
nothing has hitherto appeared that
has set so well in historical perspec-
tive"
The Records says the book has
the distinction of being the first
scholarly and adequate biography
of the great dissenting hymn-writ-
ell" and several of the religious
publications follow in the same
vein.
THE author shows a sound un.
derstanding of the man and his
times" writes the Christian. "Al.
though four full-length biographies
of Watts have already appeared, not
one of them has given as trust
worthy a record as this volume :.
We rejoice that after 200 years
Isaac Watts has at least an ade-
quate biography"

DEAR MIR. LANN: What do you think
of the practice of cutting in at dances?
ANSWER: have watched the custom of cut
ting in develop, gradually become accepted,
and finally begin to present definite prob
lem in social behavior.
few years ago. hostesses counted on Paul
Jones cotillions and similar games to accom-
plish change of partners on the dance floor,
but these methods became outmoded - they
were considered childish - and the cutting-in
system took over. The idea essentially isn't
bad one as an aid to accelerating action at a
party, but unfortunately here's what has
happened
In the first place, lot of the pleasure of
dancing is removed since there are so many
interruptions and the dance floor is often so
crowded.
And in the second, usually some of the
most attractive and popular girls are cut in on
every few seconds while other girls are ig-
nored. There are few things more painful
than to be a wallfower at dance. left to sit
