Difference in Age Should Be No Bor to Monrioae

of the quiet, studious type and you

nature, it may well be that you are
really younger than he is, after
all.
When a woman marries man
younger than she is. the thing
that matters is not the disparity in
their ages. but how old he is. II
he is very young, a boy who has
not come to himself, it is hazard
Gus thing for her to do, and the
marriage nearly always results
disastrously. For as the lad ma
lures his taste changes and he is
pretty sure to lose 1t for his eld-
erly wife. But if an man is past
his first youth, if he is fully grown
up and steeled in his tastes and
habits, then he is a safe matri-
monial bet for woman even if she
has had few more birthdays
than he has.
Whatever the reason. the man
in his 30s who marries q
woman older than himself knows
what he is about and he seldom
regrets his bargain. And let 1t

DEAR MISS DIX: I am a widow
As years of age. Time has been
kind to me and people tell me
I am most attractive. A bachelor,
who is 38 years old and who is
all that any woman could want in
husband, Is in love with me, as
I am with him, and wants to
marry me. I have a son 10 years
old and he and this man are the
best of chums. In fact, the man
already treats my boy as If he were
his own son, and the boy is crazy
for me to marry him. But my
friends tell me that to marry
him would be a mistake. that he
is too young for me. His only
fault is that he reads all the time
and I am jealous of his books,
and newspapers. What
Is your advice? e. H.
Answer: Marry him. Every
thing else being so favorable, the
seven years difference in your ages
makes no insuperable bar to your

NEW YORK, Mar. 17.-When
the betting scandals marred the
good name Of basketball, almost
everybody demanded: Take the
game back to the campus, where
1t belongs"
A fine suggestion but impracti-
cal here in New York City. Con-
ditions in this crowded meteropo-
lis of 8 million won't permit it.
In New York, the schools don't
have field houses such as Ken
tucky's capacity 10000, Wash

There are seven major schools

CCNY, st. Johns. Columbia, NYU,
Manhattan and LIU. Their gyms
have a combined seating capacity
of 10000 That's an average of
1,543 seats per gym.
School Buildings Far Apart.
Most of the schools are split
into uptown" and downtown"
branches. 1t is not uncommon
for student to attend classes
downtown, then hop on the sub
way for basketball practice up
town. Sometimes it's an hour ride
NYU, for instance, has the bulk
of It's classes at the foot Of 5th
Avenue, in the Washington
Square section of Greenwich Viii

take place in the uptown branch,
eight miles away. LIU is located

st. Johns, also in Brooklyn,
encompasses only two buildings

Fordham, Columbia Gyms Biggest
Fordham and Columbia - two
teams which don't play in Madi-

NYU and CCNY seat about

their way into shallow waters to
be taken by trollers, chummers
and bottom anglers. Already a few
have found their way into the gill
nets of herring fishermen, which
in our book denotes their readi-
mes to move in to shore as soon
as the more shallow waters warm
up sufficiently.
Prospects for hluefishing in the
Chesapeake this summer are good.
Reports from the Florida Coast
state the blues that are commenc-
ing to make their appearance there
are OF good size, averaging 3 or 4
pounds. Big Blues showed up off
our more Northern Coasts last
summer and it always has been
the experience of anglers that the
following year sees them enter
into bays such as the Chesapeake.
We believe there will be bluefish
in the 5 or 6 pound class, possibly
larger, caught in Chesapeake Bay
this summer, depending upon
weather and food conditions. It
will be middle or late July, how
ever, before we can expect them.
Judging from the myriads of
small hardhead in the bay last
summer, angling for this popular
species should be better this year.
Last season, hardhead fishing
generally was poor. The same
story applied to salt water trout.
We're not making any guess on
the latter species, but we're hope
fu,.
With nearly all materials enter
ing into the sport of fishing being
allocated strictly for defense pur-
poses and prospects of a good fish,

"Of course. we'd like to play

only one-third of our students
That makes tWo-thirds of them
unhappy, and that's bad situa-
ton.
80 we play our games in Madi-
son Square Garden. It's a good
break for the players but most
important our students - and
alumni-are able to see the
games"
Each local school gets money
for playing in the Garden. But
each insists, firmly, that isn't why
it plays there. It's either that OF

of ing-ping.

but City College makes nothing

Recently, the LIU Board o1
Trustees said basketball had cost

two years.
But despite all these handicaps
the New York student is one OF
the best rooters in the land.

Pat Thomas Receives
New Chance in Bout
With Jimmy Cooper

/ FeatherWeight Pat Thomas, who
has been appearing in preliminary
and semifnal fights for the last
year after a temporary touch of
fame at the start of his boxing
career, gets another chance to
make headlines tomorrow night.
Thomas fights Jimmy Cooper,
the District l26-pound champion,
in the main 10-rounder at Tur-
ner's Arena, and a victory for
Thomas would shoot him back
into prominence.
Noted as a knockout artist when
he came up from the amateurs,
Thomas in his first year as a pro
ran up long string of kayo VIC
tories. For the last year or so,
though, he hasn't been doing
much knocking out because either
his punch has deserted him
or the opposition has become
tougher.
Cooper, who recently won back
the District featherweight title
with a knockout victory over Lit
tie Dynamite. will be favored to-
morrow night, but he still must
be wary of Thomas. Thomas
twice won over Dynamite in the
early days of his career, although
he did lose to him in a third bout.
Recently Thomas has won four
straight fights in out = of town
rings.
Cooper lost his last start to
