Take MyWord for 1t Dinoh Nit.
By Fronk Colby

Through this column pass the
most interesting words in the
world to paraphrase the slogan
once displayed over the entrance
to a famous girl-and-nausic re-
vue.
II someone should ask the pre-
else meaning Of the word tan
dem, I am sure that you would
reply without hesitation, "a tan
dem is a pair Of horses harnessed
one before the other instead of
side by side. Also. aircraft with
two seats one behind the other,
and bicycles for two riders are
called tandemS."
That is correct in modern US
age. Actually, however, tandem
is a Latin word which means "at
length; at last; finally" The
word got its present meaning as
a result Of a schoolboy pun,
probably at oxford or Cam
bridge. Some witty student. see
ing a pair Of horses harnessed
one before the other declared
that they were harnesses tan
dem-at length, or "lengthwise."
The joke became so famous that
the "lengthwise" meaning of tan
dem became accepted as good
usage.
A similar humorous corruption
Of Latin gave us the word hoax,
trick; deception; cheating"
Hoax is telescoping of the word
hocus- -pocus, a magic" phrase
used by jugglers and conjurers.
It is said that hocus-pocus
originated as a debasement of
the Catholic sacrament uttered
in changing bread into the body
of The Lord: Hoe est corpus
fill. This is the body of The
Son."
The word conjure has two
meanings and two pronuncia-
tions: CD To appeal to solemnly;
to entreat: to implore. The pro-
nunciation is: kuh-JOOR. (2)
To summon a devil or spirit; to
practice black magic; to practice
magical arts. The pronuncia-
tion is: KUN-jer; also but less
frequently: KON-jer.

As Trotters Win
BY the AssocIoted Press

LOS ANGELES. April s.-The
famed Harlem Globetrotters won
another game last night before
1926 fans. the biggest crowd
ever to watch a basketball game
in the United States.
They beat the College All-Stars
77-72 in a bruising battle in which
the Globetrotters abandoned most
of their clowning for serious
play. 1t gave them an 8-5 edge in
their 21-game series which con-
tinues tonight in Denver.
The outdoor game in Memorial
Coliseum was played in 47-degree
weather that had the players
blowing on their hands and keep
ing warmup jackets on until
they actually went on the court.
The floor was laid out north
and-south at the west end of the
Coliseum. Regular seats around
the curve of the running track
accommodated the big bulk of
the crowd; the others were in
bleachers erected on the east
side of the cage court, or at
about the 15-yard line Of the
football field.
Last year the, Globetrotters
played before an estimated 81, 900,
also outdoors, in Pasadena's Rose

NEW YORK. April. 9.-Unless
the New York Knickerbockers
find an answer to the Mime
apolis Lakers' collapsible defense
by tomorrow night, they can kiss
goodby to their hopes of win
ming the National Basketball
Associations playoffs.
Going into the fifth game of
the final series, the Lakers hold
an imposing lead of three games
to one in the best-of- seven
series. Should the Knicks sur
prise their fans and win, the
series will shift to Minneapolis
for the remaining contest or
contests.
After splitting the first two
games at Minneapolis, the
knicks returned home feeling
well satisfied. But they hadn't
reckoned with the Lakers' disre-
gard of the home court jinx.
Lakers Win Again.
The defending champions
promptly went out and won
Tuesdays game, 9O-75, and then
squeezed through last night,
71-69, as George Mikan's 18-
point first quarter provided
enough working margin.
We've got to find an answer
to their collapsible defense or
we're licked" said Joe Lapchick,
New York coach, after seeing his
boys overcome a 10-point deficit
to tie the score and then fall
behind in the last minute and a
half at the 69th Regiment
Armory.
"All we did out there the first
half was to dash down the court
and shoot over their heads and
in the second half we weren't
much BETTER" he complained.
1--WE just couldn't get inside
with that big Mikan and Vern
