Worcester Tech of Yorcester Mass. - An excellent colleze by
the way, came out flatly in favor of scholarships for deserving
student-athletes four years ago and the college alumni and students
are proud of their stand. The prime requisite was that the scholar-
ship athlete do excellent in his classes. Four regulars of their
fine basketball team are top honor students, which in e college
exacting as Worcester Tech means the boys keep yusy all the time.
Eighty-two per cent of the scholarship students from the original
group will be graduated this year with honors.

"Tnside Basketball" by Nat Holman in the magazine "Ken" con-

sists of very fine pictures of the "How to do it" and "How not

to do it." For experienced as well as inexperienced coecnos, these
pictures are fine to cut out and hang up for both the coaches and

players to look at.

They say that the Big Ton is now doing what the Eastern
Basketball League has been doing; pairing one group of officials
for officiating in all its games.

Wilmeth Sidet-Sinvgh, wonderful football passer of Syracuse

The biggest crowd in Big Ten history 15,700 saw Ohio State
beat Minnesota by one point. The previous mark was 15,278 also
at the Minnesota ficld house.

From here it loos like Long Island University is the best
college team in this country with Loyola of Chicagw a closo
second. Claire Bee of L:I.U. and Lennie Locks of Loyola have done
swell jobs. I'll say both know their stuff and are "pepper boxes",

The three major colle¢e tournaments should be very success-—
ful. There are so many fine basketball teams that all three will
increase the game to a greater degree than over before. And we
know that every one of the coaches will pull for all three and not
think that one is better than the other. The Metropolitan Baskect-
ball Writers voted to give the National Collegiate Athletic
Association.all the help it possible can give in the running of
its games. This is a fine gesture, and that fine spirit should be
commanded.

Several lettors have arrived asking what can be done about
preventing rough play. My answer is to read the rules of associa-
tionnand then rend them again. As it scems most of the young
coaches have these rough teams, they should be given a penalty of
being compelled to recite the sportsman code at our annual me¢éting,
