The victims wife and a man
friend were questioned. Finally
the friend blurted to Mr.. Monkey,
THAT woman killed him."
Wouldn't Use AK
A hree-judge trial heard the
grim details of murder plot
that nearly failed because the
wife refused at the last minute
to bash in her husbands skull
with an ak. The friend swung
the AK instead. The wife's broth
er threw the body into the river.
The woman was sentenced to
life in prison. The men were
ordered hung. Their sentences
were later changed to life and
all three have since been paroled,
There was humor too. A group
of policemen on their way to
dinner at the Monkey home told
a rookie they were going to raid
a bootlegger's hideout. The
rookie burst through the side
door all ready to nab the Grim
inal. Then he saw his chief. "He
looked foolish" chuckles Mr..
Monkey.
And so on and on. Mr.. Monkey
can spin memories by the hour.
Force Was Small
, The police force when Mr.. Mox-
ley first became chief had 18
men. There were a few police
cars, but the men mostly rode
motorcycles. Today's police sup
erintendent, James S. McAuliffe,
was an officer on the Monkey
force. HE was a high-type, de-
pendable, truthful man." remem.

Though his life was in danger
many times, Mr.. Monkey says
he never fired his gun to hit
anyone, "Only to bluff"
Mr.. Monkeys father was a Re
publican whose eight children all
became Democrats. The ex
sheriff was chairman of the 18th
District for almost 20 years and
on the Democratic State Central
Committee for the county 1e
years.

things to think about than poll

An Easy Chair at 80

ALIVE A. Monkey is a combina-
ton of Joe Friday and David
Thoreau. With maybe a little
saintliness thrown in for good
measure.
The former Montgomery Coun-
ty sheriff and chief of police re-
Gently celebrated his 80th birth
day. He doesn't look it. He liv-
es alone and likes it in a big
white house by the side of the
road in Clagettsville about two
miles from Damascus.
He's not really alone. Hun
dreds of relatives live in the area
And hundreds of friends. ("They
all call me Pop.") He tends the
gardens, pigs, chickens, and cat
tie on his % acre farm. He
cooks for himself. He is very
active in the Montgomery Meth
odist Church, which stands near
his home. He's a member of the
choir. He is chairman of the
board of directors of the Bank
of Damascus.
And most of all he's not alone
because of his memories.
Enforced Prohibition
Many memories are of the
years 1923 and 1924 when he was
sheriff and 1926 to 1885 when he
was police chief. That was the
era of prohibition. Mr.. Monkey
estimates that he knocked out
more than 200 bootleg liquor
stills during his career, as many
as three in one day.
The biggest single raid was
made in the Ashton area on a
Saturday night. With about 20
officers, Mr.. Monkey swooped
down on 10 1000 gallon watts and
a 80 horsepower upright boiler
just as the mash was running
off" Four of the five bootleg
gers We're nabbed on the spot and
the fifth was caught later.
1t took all night to dynamite
the elaborate liquor-producing
plant. II was almost late for
church." remembers the octo-gen-
arian.
Once Mr.. Monkey and two Of
ficers waded waist-deep in the
ice-caked Potomac to Seven Sis
tiers Island where a still was be-
ing operated. Three bootleggers
spotted the policemen, plunged
into the water, and made for the
shore.
Got His Man
Each officer took after a boot
logger. The chief alone got his
man.
An irate man who'd been
caught in raid later came to
the Monkey house and threatened
the chief with an iron pipe. When
Mr.. Monkey gave chase the man
leaped into his car and sped
away. The chief jumped on the
running board and after about
25 yards managed to switch off
the ignition. The man was
quickly subdued.
But Mr.. Monkey had a prob
lem. He had been about to sit
down to dinner when the intru-
der appeared. If the prisoner
was taken all the way to jail
in Rockville, the dinner = it was
fried chicken - would be ruined.
The chief solved the problem by
seating the pipe-weilder at the
opposite end of the table, where
he could be watched, and pro-
ceeding with dinner. The pri-
Soner shared the meal.
There were more serious
crimes than bootlegging Early

up for some of Ohio's physical ed
ucation teachers.
A teacher-education conference
on physical education and outdoor
education has been scheduled for
May 16, II, Is, at Lake Hope,
Zaleski, Ohio.
Some selected persons from
schools, colleges, and city recreat-
ion physical education supervisors
will attend the session and will re-
ceive extensive indoctrination in a
broader approach to teaching ply
sical education.
AT the conference gun safety,
water safety, hunting and fishing
and many other outdoor recreation
activities will be discussed and
demonstrated with the exception
that they will offer a broader
program of activities.
Sponsoring organizations for the
conference are the Ohio Depart
ment Education, Ohio Depart
ment of Natural Resource, and A
rnerican Association of Health,
Physical Education and Recrea-
tiCn, a Division of the National
Education Association.
In addition many sportsmens
organization will cooperate on a
local level in propoting the pro-
gram.

SPORTS

Our guards are rarely over 6
feet l and can operate for us very
efficiently at SO. If they're quick
and fast their weight is of no i'm
port. Expert and confident dribb-
ling with either hand is a must
and the player should be a better
than average shooter from 25 feet
or better.
I'VE like our centers to be 6
feet 6 on up and the more good
weight they have, the better. In
asmuch as they primarily work
with their back to the basket they
must be able to wheel with either
hand. They must be aggressive and
possess good timing and reflexes.
They must also be unselfish."
Woolpert's current squad fits
the description ideally. Bill Russ
ell, All-America center, is clio and
weighs 215. Guards K. c. Casey
Jones and Hal Perry go 6-2 and
1913, and 5-101a and 16O, respec-
lively. Forward Mike Farmer is
81 and 210, and his running mate,
Carl Boldt, Cd and 100.
The USF coach feels that re-
gardless of the type of offensive
system team employs 1.-The essen
TALLY important need is for SIM
plicity and efficiency of operation.
IF the players know what
they're doing and why, and are
impressed with the Importance of
each move in the overall pattern,
the chances of that pattern Great
ing good shot opportunities are ex-
cellent."
The Dons' offense, explains
Woolpert, is "a rather simple bas-
ic pattern with great emphasis up
on floor balance" Primarily it is
a reverse action" patterns, he
says, in which the ball is worked
from right to left in front of the
basket, rather than the customary
left to right movement.

Promote Outdoor
Education In
Phys Ed Progrems

COLUMBUS, OHIO - Are you
educated to enjoy the less rigor-
Gus types of outdoor sports?
Sports, for instance, such as camp
ing, boating, fishing, hiking, bird
watching and, yes, even hunting :?
No doubt many of you will
snicker at that question. But, real
ly are you? Did you have any for
NAL education on the subjects. Did
you receive instructions in high
school and college in these activi-
ties? The answer is probably no.
And yet, it's a good bet that aft
er you are 80 years old or over a
great percentage of your outdoor
recreational activities will be ev-
pressed in one or more of these
fields.
Generally speaking most perS-
ons over 30 have given up play
ing the physically strenuous sports
of basketball, football, track, COM
petitive swimming. etc, for oL-
vious reasons. And yet great
majority of tie training you re-
ceived in the field of physical edit
cation was concentrated on these
athletic activities, which have lit
tie carry-over into later life.
What do you do then for out
door physical action for - shall
we say those remaining 70
years?
This is question that has been
provoking considerable thought
among educators in recent years
and one of which physical e6uca-
tior specialists are now speeding
considerable research time.
Sportsmen organizations ard
ether outdoor activities groups
have been of the opinion for
sometime that the teaching of ply
sical education in the schools
should take on a more diversified
scope, which would include in
struction in outdoor sports, parti-
cularly in the field of outdoor
safety. Most educators agree.
AS a result a teacher training
program, primarily an initial in
doctrination course, has been SET

MooIpert's Stress
On Fundamentals
BY CHRIS EpMoNps

SAN FANCISCO (AP)-A daily
dose of fundamentals is the key to
producing a winning basketball
team, says the man who has turn
ed out the nations No. / college
quintet.
Coach Phil Woolpert of the
University of San Francisco Dons,
top collegiate team for two sea-
sons and holders of the major
school record for consecutive vic
tories, believes that sometime
during each and every practice
session throughout the entire sea-
son, drills on fundamentals should
be held.
"A basketball player sent on the
court with rusty fundamentals is
a good bet to fail in his opera
tions.
Such absolute essentials as
dribbling, passing, footwork and
shooting obviously are talents no
youngster can develop too highly"
Woolpert lists personnel, mas
terry of fundamentals and simpli-
city as the three ingredients nee
essary for a solid basketball team.
I'VE look for certain traits in
our forwards, guards and centers,"
he says. I'VE feel that the boys
with these particular talents and
physical characteristics can best
operate our style of play
THE ideal forward would shape
up between 6 feet 4 and 6-6 and
weigh between 1876 and 210
pounds. Alert agressiveness must
be coupled with as much speed and
quickness as possible. A good out
side set shot is very important
and the boy must be good feed
er.
