WITH THE
HIGH SCHOOLS
BY DICK sLAY

Tom Stith is not only 6-feet-5
and a junior, he's also a full
fedged junior and will graduate
in June-which appears to be a
rarity for basketball players at
st. Francis High in Brooklyn.
His brother Sam, 6-feet-2, re-
ceives his diploma this June and
that is an unusual parlay indeed.
The Knights of Columbus at
tracted st. Francis to the
Catholic Invitational basketball
tournament at Richie Coliseum
this year for the first time. The
Terriers arrived by bus last night
with what would be regarded in
these parts as patched-up ball
team.
st. Francis lost two of its
starting five in mid-year gradua-
ton but still won the metropoli-
tan New York Catholic cham
pionship. Last year the Terriers
graduated four from the first
string in February and won the
same title. They have won three
metropolitan crowns in the last
four years. and the fact that the
Stith brothers are getting out in
June-although a year apart--is
a stroke of good fortune for the
future.
It is not uncommon for star
basketball players to depart from
st. Francis in the middle OF the
season. The parochial grammar
schools in Brooklyn are unusual
in that they have mid-year
graduations and st. Francis can
do little else but accept the new
students in February. Because
st. Francis is rated among the
highest enthusiastically in the New
York area. its students seldom
take more than exactly four
years to finish.

Coach Chick Keegan has be-
come accustomed to being left
with half a ball club in mid
season. The situation was the
same when he graduated from
the school in 1924 and when he
assumed the head basketball job
in the season of 1947-48. That
first year. for instance, he lost
his entire first team halfway
through the season, including
Zeke Zawoluk, later an ALI
American at st. Johns College
The same thing occurred for
the next three or four" years

plant vegetable and flower seeds
left from last year.
Too few of the seeds will
terminate to produce a good
crop. The condition of the seed
depends considerably on where
and how it has been stored. If
it was kept in a humid, hot place
during the summer it will prob.
ably not terminate well in the
spring. Seed stored in a cool,
dry place will probably hold its
vigor longer.
Some seeds keep better than
others. Bean, beet, and tomato
seeds keep better than celery,
lettuce, or onion seeds under the
best storage conditions.
