PALMER BEATS SEWARD TO SPLIT SERIES HERE
HARVEY HIBER PLAYS INSPIRED GAME
 TO SPARK FIRST WIN

The Palmer High School bas.
 ketball team is spelling its name
 a new way ever since last Fri.
 days game with Seward-'just
 write it Harvey 5iber now they
 say. And after that 44-38 vic.
 tory, we'd say that was a pretty
 good way to spell Palmer, too.
 The tall, oose-jointed center could do little that was wrong on
 Friday, but the ball lessons he'd learned were something to write home about. If anyone were looking for the flaw that made him human, they could have criticized his early tendency to fire court-long passes down un- der his basket. The receiver in- variably found them too hot to handle. However, as soon as Harvey found that his teammates hadn't quite caught his spirit of super-basketball yet (there's no doubt but that he'd have been catching those passes and count ing with them, had positions been reversed) he shortened his passes and took a few more seconds to reel up the Palmer total score.
 Although starring on defense, too, the scoring column is where Harvey really went berserk. He tossed in 30 points for Palmer during the game for a near ap- proach to the school record. That record is 32 points, and is held by Miles France, who still dons a Shamrock uniform occasionally.
 Harvey had dumped in three field goals in the first three min utes of play, and that three min utes time was enough to con- vince every spectator present that this was Palmer's night to win. There was little of the suspense of the first game, lost by two points in the final seconds of play that game was anybody's ball game, the fans knew; Fridays game was Palmer's, and the fans 1new that, too. Quarter by quarter, Harvey's score looked like this: g, II, 23 md 30.
 Seward fought a determined but they, too, soon seemed o know that this was Palmer's light. The Seahawks suffered a lad break when Don Steele was 'enched by fouls early in the hird quarter, and Antril Suydam ollowed him early in the fourth. 'uydam apparently got a bad reak on the scoring there nree unofficial scorers had chalk d up only four personals for! i'm, but the official book showed i've and the hard working for 1ard was waved from the floor.

In connection with all of the
above the American Legion has
continually played a major roll. 1t
has been our number one mandate
since the end OF World War One

passing over two hundred laws

The veteran can thank our I'M

And he has never been let down.
In Washington, d. c., there IS

is also by invitation of the Depart

veteran or his dependent in con-

have arising out of his service with

render to you whatever service l
can.
Last fall a commission appointed
by the President and with EXPIRES
ident Herbert Hoover as chairman,
compiled and submitted eighteen
voluminous reports on government
reorganization, seven OF which dealt
with veterans benefits. Congress
has been considering these and
the American Legion has been
fighting them, for to adopt them
would mean the dismemberment OF
the Veterans Administration which
now is the one responsible agency
for the handling of veterans bene-
fits. Though staunch foes of the
veteran, mostly through ignorance
of facts and circumstances, have
fought hard to bring about the
so-called reforms or economies, I
am most happy to tell you that SO
far the Legion has them licked and
with your help victory is assured.
