PLAYING DIRTY POOL
l
'l
Association 1
One of the dirtiest deals in the history of state
political affairs is the'attempt Of a disgruntled group
to defeat the choice of the voters in the election ofE
Langley over Dill for governor, which has even been
carried to the legislature where the majority is
largely democratic; and should the effort prevail,
dishonest.
To discredit the ballot system which in the past
has elected two democratic governors, twice each,
Lister and Martin, and Dill himself twice as sena—
tor, is puerile; while the claim of crooked electionl
boards in view of the fact that the majority of every!
board in the state was democratic is equally dishon-
est.
The truth is that a venal crowd had put up large I
sums of money in the hope of controlling the state}
opening it wide-Open, and getting their hands on!
state funds and building up a powerful state ma-
chine for years of control, and they still hate to
give up in spite of the popular vote for a clean an
I
C
honest state administration such as assured undel’i
Langley as governor; a clean-up such as Langley
made in Seattle.
The legislature has more serious problems than
ever before and it needs the unity and support of
the republican minority, with no time to fritter
away in useless fighting; the democratic majority
must prove its honesty in desiring this unity by
dropping politics and cooperating in the solution of
all its problems for the best interests of the state
and all its people. Robbing the people of their free
choice for governor is proof of dishonesty.

REACTIONS TO PARKIN—d ORDER
The city council as its last action Of the year]
passed an ordinance limiting parking on the streets
between First and Fifth through the business dis-
trict to one hour, and while it is too soon to learn
the public reaction it would appear that the neWI
order takes in more territory than is necessary for:
public convenience. If the rule is to be enforced[
some of the streets outside the business center
should be open to at least more than a single hour of
parking, and some of the adjoining streets improved
for time parking; but so far as the ordinance may
restrict all day or even half day on the main streets
it is worth while in keeping some open spaces for
transient visitors to do their trading.
taxes, more money for living.” How come.
THE COMING OF PEACE
Seventeen billion for defense! A tremendous!
figure. Yet that is what the president is asking the‘
congress to appropriate. Ten billion dollars shouldl
Nebraska is making a strong play for new cap-
ital and industries, with the inducement of “NO sales
tax, no income tax, no bonded debt, no other extra
build quite a navy; equip and train quite an army;l
get together a lot of airplanes, soon to be outmoded.
In the meantime Hitler is weakening. The blitz-
krieg has failed. Social revolution looms in Ger-l
many. One has but to read Hitler’s latest speeches]
to find that this is so. But despite the looming end!
of the war, the United States has made itself over,
is making itself over. Factories are engaging in man-
ufacture of war material. Business is humming.
Hundreds of thousands of young men are training.
Suppose peace suddenly comes. Will it not be
like putting On the brakes when going 90 miles anl,
hour? Look out for a terrible crash in the event of
sudden peace. All hope for the end. of the war, butl
America isn’t being prepared for the end of the war”
Its entire preparations are based on the continuancel
of war.
Peace will throw back into civilian life hun-
dreds of thousands of young men now in training.
Factories will suddenly stop. Workers out of jobs;
will come pouring out into the land. America, then;
may be faced with a problem exceedingly difficult
to handle. Revolutions are based on just such things:
Sudden termination of jobs will create an explosive
force which can be dangerous.
It would seem the statesmanlike thing for plan—

Unless a major catastrophe be-i
falls Kimbel Oil in its final two
games, first half honors in thel
city league cosaba circuit seem;
'ieaded for a. deadlock between the;
Oilers and McConkey Pharmacy}
when the regular schedule closes;
Saturday night. .
The pharmacists are a cinch forl
they completed their first half!
Tchedule last night with an im—l
iressivc 55 to 26 verdict over 4-Ei
Dairy which saw Murray TaylorI
llld Frances Eacrett having one:
I :1? their finest nights in scoring; the risk of having such men as
roles.
Two To Go Yet
The Oilers have two games to;
:0 yet, against VVilson’s Cafe on:
Thursday and McCleary Timberl
Saturday, but in the light of 're-?
cent performances they should,
‘Joth be a breeze for the Kimbels,l
which, if true, will leave Kimbell
ind McConkey knotted with ten
wins and two losses apiece.
McCleary took over third place
in the standings last night by
hanging the eighth consecutive de-
feat on Rayonier, 31 to 22, with
Bill Madsen and Marv Morgan
setting the pace. ‘
Schermer Picks Spot
McCleary also engaged in the
most thrilling contest of the past
Week when Bill Schermer's basket
with three seconds to go brought
a 26 to 24 verdict over 4-E Dairy,
Thursday night after the dairy-
men had rallied strongly to over—
come a four-point lead in the last
two minutes. Schermer scored 14
for his night’s efforts. I
The timbermen lost all track of,
the hoop Saturday night, however,i
s0 dropped a 22 to 10 decision to‘;
l
the L. M.
‘Merk’ ace.
McConkey's, in addition to last
night’s win, hung up two more
easy victories, 34 to 18 over VVil-
son’s Cafe, and 36 to 23 over Ray-
onier, in the past week, Jim
Steele starring in the first, Mur-
ray Taylor and Gordon Russell in
the latter.

HOOP ROYALTY
A couple of Harlem Globetrot-
ters who will bear especial watch—,
l
the world cage champions
in the big charity casaba gaian
Sunday at Lincoln gym, are My—1
105 “Sonny” Boswell and Louis1
“Pabc” Prcssley. l
.
Both these clever pci'fm‘mcrsl
were placed on the all—world tcnmi
after the Globetrotters had won
the world‘s championship tourna-.
[merit in Chicago last March, BUS-l
well as a forward and
as a. guard.
Prervsley I
Boswell, who still holds; the.
Slate scoring record of 48
points in one game set :1
Toledo. 0., prep, made the all-
world team in his first year
in major competition. Prom-
Icy has been with the Trotters
several years.
In one game at Tacoma last
season, “Sonny” sank eighteen
baskets. Against the famous Cel-
tics, he dropped in nine during
one game. He led the Trotters inl
scoring last season and this year‘
has picked up where he left off.
Pressley, a sensation through-
out the world's tournament. cap-
ped his performance by holding
the high—scoring “W'ibs” Kautz,
of the Chicago Bruins, scoreless
for 3952 minutes of play. In
the game between the Trotters
and College All-Stars before 22,— l
000 fans at the Chicago Stad-
ium this season, he also demon— 1
strut-ed his scoring ability by
plunking in six baskets.
But if these men are watched:
too closely, the opposition runsl
Bernie Price, Ted strong and Hil—v
lary Brown run wild, as they havel
time and time again. In fact,[
there are many who say Price is.
the best all-around performer in:
the game today; others give that]
honor to Strong. And, as for!
Brown, despite this being his first!
full season on the team, Manager.
A. M. Saperstein has entrusted
him with the captaincy, so high~’
ly does he regard the brilliant)
young Chicagoan who was ratedl
as the greatest Negro amatqu
player in the world before joining
the Trotters. 1
Maybe there ulre others who
can claim equal records but
they’d have had to see every
city league and every town team
game played in Lincoln gym
this season to tie Adrian Fran—
cken’s record for witnessing
basketball games this year.
Add to that the three prep
contests the Highelimbers have
played so far and you have ad-
ditional games to his total. Us-
ually Francken takes an active
part in the conduct of the games
he sees, either through keeping
score or keeping time.

rooms to smoke and engage
talk which would hardly pass in
respectable circles.
That’s something this scribe
has yet to witness among the
Shelton players. They may
smoke before and after the
games, although most of them
don’t, but they refrain entirely
uhilc they are in the gym. And
the calibre of the language
heard among the Shelton play-
ers; would pass in any respect-
able home.
Such things tell in the physical
condition of the teams,
easily noticeable in Sunday‘s game.
The Pirates are in as fine physical
condition as you’ll find any in-
dependent team, better than most.
They may lack the ability of some
teams but they won’t lack the
condition
Incidentally, this.. might be as
good a place and time as any to
1note that the same general claim
can be truthfully made by play-
ers perforn'iing in the city basket-
iall circuit.
There may have been a day
in the past when independent
basketball was a gathering
grounds for dissipated athletes,
but no more, neighbors, no more.
You’ll find very few of the boys
who play on city league teams
doing much carousing 0r abus-
ing themselves physically. Those
who do don’t last long.
It has been a sourco of no lit-
astonis-hment to fans paying
their first visit to city league
games to note the swift pace of
the play. And the regular fans
have noted a steady improvement
in the calibre of ball turned out
by the circuit.
To a large extent that fact can
be traced to the finer condition
the players are in now, as well as! HUSky play are sophomores. thC‘

done in preparation. It never was certain to come!
But peace is certain to come. And here there isn’tl
one thing being done. It is up to the administrationl
to do more than to build a navy which will have no-L
body to fight, to do more than equip an army withi
