NEW YORK, May l CAP).-
The National Basketball Asso-
citation is scheduled for a May
day meeting today. The May
day" in this case stands for
the distress signal as we'll as
the date.
The dual subjects causing
distress are NBA players who
have jumped or are planning
to Jump to the new American
Basketball League and Doug
Moe, the University Of North
Carolina star whose status is
uncertain because of disclosures
in the recent gambling scam
dalS.
Moe admitted to university
officials that he had accepted
$75 from Aaron Wagman. who
was indicted last week on
charges of bribing college
players, but said he never even
had considered fixing games.
Later his former teammate. Lou
Brown, charged with being
Wagman's go-between, told
Charlotte, N. c., sportswriter
that Moe had given the money
to him.
NBA President Maurice Po-
doloff said he had called the
meeting of the Board of Coy
ernors after learning that Ken
Sears of the New York KniCk-
erbockers had Joined the San
Francisco Saints of the Ameri-
can League.
Two Cincinnati Royals play
ers, Mike Farmer and Win
Wilfong, repeatedly have signed
with San Francisco and Kansas
City, respectively, in the ABL.
The question of Noes eligi-
bility was brought up by David
Trager, owner of the new Chi
cago club in the NBA, which
drafted the North Carolina
player. Trager said he would
ask clearance to sign Moe.

Manor Given Scares
Manor had a couple of scares
before reaching the semifinals,
but in the last two matches
against Brooke Manor and
Turf Valley, the champions out
scored the opposition 80 to 4.
Turf Valley, surprise winner
of the Statewide division, was
elated over reaching the finals.
The club had a half-dozen
meetings to plan strategy for
the match with Manor after
reaching the finals Saturday.
With Turf Valley long,
open course, the theory was to
keep the long hitters at home
and send the straight hitters
to Manor'S tree-lined course
But Manor simply had too
much talent.
Kelley and. Buddy Sharkey,

the happy result of simple

the gilt-and-glory furnish

The swelling "knee" of the
cabriole-styled leg rose to
prominence in Queen Anne
furniture, influenced by the
Dutch designers of the VIII
liam and Mary period who
favored marquetry and We
neer treatments. However,
Queen Anne pieces have
cleaner, softer lines and less
ornate treatment. Made of
oak, ash and walnut, later
styles included mahogany,

Queen Anne furniture may
be identified by the softly
curving structure of an en-
tire chair, built for actual
body comfort instead of
severity. Often an escalloped
shell design will appear on

In contrast to the COM

Queen Anne furniture, Louis

Although he was one day
to become known as a man
who Stunned hats. in the

obsession with him. He jeal-
ouSly boarded a collection of

and Marine fatigue hats,
baseball caps, and yachting
caps of all kinds, some with
visors a foot long.
Swap Refused
Leon Drawdy once got an

it for one of 1t. Kennedy's

tenant would not swap. Once
a hat went into his collection
no bargain or trade could dis
lodge it.
AS was often the case on
small craft, skipper and crew
were companionable. Together
they used to speculate on the
hazards that lay ahead of
them and talk about what
they would do under various
circumstances.
One problem they discussed,
as some of them would par
ticularly remember later on,
was how they would react to
the danger of capture by the
enemy, if it should ever come.
The stories of Japanese atroc-
tiles at this stage of the war
were horrible, and from the
beginning, it seems, the sem
timent on 100 was against
ever submitting to capture.
One thing that life at Tu-
lagi was beginning to teach
