PITTSBURGH, April %. -
Pitts physician-basketball coach,
who fed players oxygen between
periods and ice cream after
games, has prescribed self-re-
tirement.
The prescription will end the
S1-year coaching career of DR..
Henry c. Carlson - known as
Doc Carlson to thousands of
fans. The silver-haired, 58-year-
old coach will devote his entire
time to being director of mems
student health at the University
Of Pittsburgh.
During his 81 years as Panther
coach, CarlSon's team won 369
and lost 247 games. In 1928 and
1880 they won the national title.
Carlson-led quintets didn't
fare so well in recent years. His
best record after World War II
was last seasons mediocre H.
II mark. Undaunted, Doc began
each campaign with a tongue
tn-cheek prediction:
We'll win 'em ALL"
Mixed Philosophy and Fun.
Carlson mixed philosophy with
fun to give fans a brand of
basketball which was always un-
usual If not victorious.
His last innovation was the
use Of oxygen to refresh players.
Fans were startled last year to
see Docs charges bury their
faces in inhalators. between
periods. Carlson dropped the
experiment after a few games.
On one occasion, the unpre-
dictable coach made some sort
Of history by extracting blood
from players during halftime
intermission. Although Pitt lost,
Carlson was satisfied. After max
ing tests Of the blood. he pro-
claimed:
Basketball is not detrimental
to health"
Docs experiments weren't all
medical. In 1850 he had fans
booing his so-called deep freeze
against Penn State ghich re-
suited in half-time score Of SO

Every good dog goes to heaven, an
old country saying has it.
Similarly, every good cat deserves a
story.
Julius, Julie for short, is large
black and white cat with Persian IN
him.
This ancestry is shown by his long
coat. little ears and peaceful ways.
He never bites nor scratches.
Unlike most common or Short-halred
cats, with which he must be classed, he
has not a bit of Stubborness in his
being.
If he is not allowed out, he merely
goes across the room and lies down.
He does not poster the household, as
most Short-hairS do. How the aver
age common cat employs his brains to
get what he wants!
Most cats, if denied the "out'' they
seek, will put on various acts, from
jumping on the dining room table, If
that has been forbidden. to leaping up
on the curtains.
Julius has none of these little tricks.
He merely subsidies. and waits his
chance.
He is more intelligent than most
cats.
This was strikingly demonstrated
the other day, when small bladder
on the end Of a long tube was placed
beneath the table cloth.
A saucer was put over the spot

Not a Real Economy Test

In voting to continue Federal aid for schools
In areas affected by defense expansion the
House has recognized Federal obligation that
cannot fairly be ignored We who live in the
Washington Metropolitan Area know, first
hand, of the onerouS burdens which emergency
growth of the Federal establishment can place
on areas in the path of the development. Nearby
Virginia and Maryland could not have provided
all of the essential public services required by
the War-induced influx of new residents had no
Federal aid been available
1t cannot be said, therefore, that the action
of the House in overriding its Appropriations
Committee on this particular item sets a pat
tern for rejection of further economy moves at
the Capitol. 1t would be false economy for
Congress to default on its obligation to the
1900 "impacted" communities which have been
led to expect Federal aid for schools over
burdened by defense expansion For the ma
tional defense program would feel the adverse
effects of such economy" That program de-
pends on workers who have a right to insist
that adequate school facilities be provided for
their children.
1t may we'll be, as Representative Scrivener
of Kansas told the House, that the law author
izing such aid should be studied and revamped"
with a view to making sure that only COM
munities actually deserving help are included
in the list. But, in the absence of any facts
showing improper distribution of the funds,
Congress should spare this program from a
free-swinging economy ak.

Mulroy. from a character in one Of
Farrell's stories.
Giving favorite cat a new name,
every now and then, is an indoor sport
known to all friends of the feline race.
Good cats seldom have Just one
name. Each favorite is named anew
from time to time, but the new names
seldom last. Julie was called Porky
Mulroy, Porky and, finally. Mulroy by
itself, but these names only lasted
few weeks, after which he was called
Julius again.
How he got his original name?
That was easy. He was named by
his first owner, a young girl who had
just made the acquaintance of Gaius
Julius Caesar In school.
When the large kitten came into her
hands. she naturally called him Julius
Caesar. a name which struck her
mother as silly.
Il won't have cat around named
Julius Caesar" said her mother, and
that was that.
What can call him, then?" walled

In this, he was true to the great

But the next time the plate wobbled,
apparently for no reason, Julius de-

He put one of his large paws
squarely on the plate, holding it down
so pressure on the bulb would not
move it..
Then he looked under the plate.
He did this by inserting forepaw,
just as any human would have done.
Not finding anything. he Immediately
