close 10 to Is score. Donald Lud-
wig made nine points to become

the most exciting when the Bob

overtime periods. The eight-all tie
was broken when Charles Volmer
sunk a basket to make his team,
the Rattlers, victorious by a O

ed the Locomotive lineup. The SEN
ior forward was a mineral winner
last year and was a mainstay on

for sports in the first semester

LAUREL BARELY WINS
OVER RED ID 43-4I
By LOWELL

An extremely cold night produc
ed a very hot game as the Lau
rel Locomotives squeaked by tn,
Coyotes from Carbon county 43
Al, with Bangert's last minute
basket winning for the locals. The
game was very rough, a total OF
SO fouls being called on both teams
Laurel lost three men via the fouI
route, and Red Lodge sacrificed
two.
Laurel proved outstanding in its
shooting accuracy by making "a
per cent of its field goal attempts,
or Is out of 80 trys. Red Lodge
tried 43 shots, but connected with
only 10 for a 80 per cent aver
age.
The Coyotes dominated the game
for three whole quarters as they
out-jumped the locals for leads Of
4, 5 and 8 points respectively at
the end of the first three quarters.
Superior ball handling and re-
bounding gave the Coyotes a 1878
first quarter lead, and a 1920
margin at the half. About the
only thing that kept the locals in
the game during the first half was
their accuracy at the free-throw
line, when the Laurel quint sank
an amazing 10 out of II charity
losses, to keep them at least in
the race for the win.
In the third stanza Carbon out
scored Laurel 1919 and seemingly
had a sure eight-point, 1929, lead
when going into the final quarter.
Then, with Bangert sparkling a
brilliant rally by scoring seven
points in the canto, Laurel caught
up and passed Carbon. Branger
from Carbon scored on a free
throw early in the period and then
saw Laurel tie the score at So
when the official three-minute
time-out m~omentarily stopped the
hustle of the Locomotives. The
lead changed four times in the
ensuing three minutes. Then with
tie game at 40, Schreiner made
a free throw to give Laurel a
41-40 lead, and in sequence With
45 seconds remaining in the game
Bangert calmly connected with a
hook shot to give Laurel 43-40.
Brown then made the final point
of the game with a free throw to
put Carbon two points short of a
tie. Carbon consistently missed at
the free-throw line in the final
three minutes and once was pre-
sented with an opportunity to
force into overtime when Scilley
missed a layup which perched on
the rim of the basket for seconds
before finally rolling off.
Bangert duplicated his scoring of

Miss De Diva Reveals Talent
In Local Piano Recital Debut
BY Elena de Soyn

native Brazil, the talentedspianist
is credit to her alma mater, the
Conservatoire de Musica do Dis
trito Federal, and to her teachers,
vino laid such a splendid founda-
ton for her future.
Miss de Olivia has a brilliant
technique equal to all demands in
the classic and modern repertoire
she essayed yesterday. Her fingers
are fleet, accurate and strong.
Her performance of the Bach
Tausig "Toccata and Fugue in D
minor" and her playing of brayura
compositions by Brazilian COM
posers showed that she has the
makeup CT a virtuoso. This &C
complishment is in a formative
state, however, lacking the essen
tials to assure her a place among
the elite in the immediate future.
For the present, the pianist's
technical perfection does not go
beyond a command of piano me-
chanics. She plays loud, fast or
soft and does not seem to have
given much thought as yet to
style. phrasing and nuance, nor
to the dynamics of possibilities
the piano offers for self-expres-
sion. Schumann's "Carnaval'
pointed to shortcomings in this
direction. The composition rep
resents types, moods and situa-
tions and offered a wide field for
subtle variety unexplored by Miss
de Olivia. Her delivery of Villa
Lobos' "Polichinello" likewise did
not suggest the character the
composer had in mind, although
the execution of the notes was
brilliant.
Contrasted with these. Mig
none's "Valse Elegante," written
Viennese fashion; Fernandez
"Pirilampos," capricious and IL
quid; villa-Lobos' "passa, Passa
Gaviao";; Comes "Murmurio" and
Vianna's 'Danca dos Negros'
suited Hiss de Oliva's manner OF
playing admirably. Here were
reflected all the strong points OF
her natural endowment: Her
flexible tone, pearly runs and IA
cility for a brilliant execution.

Pitcher With Control Visits Clark Griffith;
It's Babe Adams and It's 40 Years Too Late
Famous Pirate HurIer
Of Wagner Era Guest
Of Daughter Here
By Burton Howkins

Clark Griffith discovered a
pitcher with superb control in
his presence yesterday, but it
was more than 40 years too
late. Into Grifdth's Office GIN
gerly stepped one of the games
most polished right-handers,
67-year-old Charles Benjamin
(Babe) Adams, whose precision
pitching with the Pittsburgh
Pirates established accuracy
records which a succeeding
generation of hurlers haven't
eclipsed.
you've heard about pitchers
who could thread a needle with
a ball" Griffith said. "Well
here's one who could do it.
Boy, it would be a treat to see
you pitch again. Babe. after
seeing nothing but bases on
balls, bases on balls, bases on
balls"
To the Mats fans, who last
season suffered through an in
ming in which five pitchers
walked II patters, Babes pitch
ing feats approach the incred-
ible. In 1918, for instance,
Adams pitched 314 innings and
didn't hit q batter to set a Ma
tional League record which still
stands.
In 1914 he pitched a 21-in-
ming game against the New
York Giants Rube Marquard
and didn't walk a man. In 1920
he pitched 263 innings and gave
up only 18 bases on balls, still
a major league record. "I guess
half of those fellows I walked
were passed purposely," said
Adams. "Once in while I was
ordered to do it to set UP a
double play"
Accuracy Just Came Naturally.
There was another stretch,
Adams revealed, when he hurled
33 successive innings without
yielding q pass. The clear-eyed.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Dec. 31.-The
University of San Francisco's ma
tional invitation champion basket
ball team brought undefeated
Niagara to the end Of the line
tonight, winning 52-48 in the first
game of a Memorial Auditorium
doubleheader.
Cornell defeated Canisius. 47-43,
in the second game, played before
a crowd of 10,151.
San Francisco's Dons, playing
deliberately, assumed 30-16 lead
at halftime, but Niagara Gagged
the first three baskets of the sec
ond period-two by Jim Moran,
the other by Tom Birch-to close
the gap considerably.
San Francisco pulled away
again, but Moran hit six straight
points as the coast clubs advan-
tage was sliced to 36-31. Milan
Metikosh and Frank Kuzara then
led counter offensive, San Fran
cisco moving away.
