numbers of men in the shortest

only S lessons. The Navy and

NEW YORK, Dec. 27 (INS)-A AS far as the reports
go so early in the season, basketball seems to have
~weathered it's large and incompleted scandal.

~ ~ OoI1y LII C1lO oCCtOOlA,
weathered it's large and incG
Attendance has been holding up,
and news and feature outlets have
been devoting as much space and
time to the sport as ever; maybe
even a little more.
The reaction of the public can
be traced to one of three things
either the fans assume the game
is honest, figure that with all the
scandalous revelations it can't af-
ford to be dishonest, or don't care
one way or the other.
The last possibility reminds
you of the fellow who insisted on
losing his shirt nightly in a rig
ged crap game because it was the
Oll1y Sd1llC Ill IOWI.
1t is an interesting situation.
Those who fell that the public
dosen't care whether or not the
games are fixed probably are just
as wrong as those who reason that
basketball has cleansed itself. The
truth undoubtedly lies someplace
in between.
If the public were informed in
advance that a game at Madison
Square Garden was going to be
bagged, I suspect the crowd would
be a sellout, with millions of
others watching on TV, mainly be-
cause the average American who
hears about all these scandals
would like to see one in action.
But there are two conflicting
things about the curiosity of the
average American. One is that it
is keen. The other is that it is
quickly satisfied. If the public was
in on the fix, one fixed game
would be enough. Nobody would
show up for the next one.
You have to assume, therefore,
that most of the basketball being
played today in on the square, just
as it has been all along. The ideas
that the game has been poisoned.

liar nonsense, are ridiculous.

Gus New Year To ALI!
We are all excited about the
coming of the new year. Great
events are planned which we trust
will be shared by everyone.
On January s., 1852, in celebra-
ton Of National Carver Day, the
whole world will pay belated tri-
butte to one ofthe greatest SCENT
lists this nation has ever produced.
We are referring of course to the
late George Washington Carver,
of whom the late President Roose-
welt said:
"The versatility of his genius
and achievements in diverse BRAN
ches of the arts and sciences were
truly amazing.
Cali mankind is beneficiary of
his discoveries in the field Of agri-
cultural chemistry. The things
which he achieved in the face Of
early handicaps will for all time
afford an inspiration to youth
everywhere.
81 count it a great privilege to
have met DR.. Carver and to have
talked with him at the occasion Of
my visit to the Institute, which
was the scene of long an distin-
guished labors."
The George Washington Carver
National Monument Foundation,
located at his birthplace, Diamond,
Missouri, in cooperation with the
Booker T. Washington Birthplace
Memorial, are sponsoring the new
commemorative half dollar honor
ing both men. Since their lives
touched one another and both
worked increasingly and untiring-
ly for the uplifting Of their fellow
man, it is appropriate that the
heads Of both should adorn the
latest and most significant piece
Of currency ever issued by the
United States. Banks throughout
the nation will carry the coins and
help to supply your needs. The
price has been fixed at $500 each
The premium above the face value

smallest hamlets inthe land can

Furthermore, unlike some other
sports, basketball does not have to
be ployed at all we'll in order to
furnish satisfaction and entertain
ment. When it is played well, it is
an added delight to watch.
If the sport were essentially
crooked, we never would have had
the basketball scandals. The only
thing that made the "fixes" work
was that everybody except the fix
ers themselves thought the game
was on the square.
