Lieutenant Clay, who la the athletic director at the Southern Avlutiou school. Clay, as this column has mentioned before, is from Indiana, and we all know that Indiuna Is the daddy of great busketball teams. For instance Indiana University has been outstanding In the cage sport for years and years, and this year has been no exception. As a matter of fact the llooslers won 17 straight games and that is an accomplishment In the midwest where the sport reigns supreme. Out ... Ah! Clay old chap, notice that BUT. Indiana ran up against those whirling dervishes from Wisconsin the other night and believe it or not, wore beaten 67 to 63. Johnny Kotz. and Hob Sullivan, those brilliant cardinal L-lad warrior? of the Badger quint, aiacl> scored 19 points and that gentlemen, is also something to write homo about, especially when opposed by such guards as that Hoosler team offers. Now Wisconsou has to buttle Illinois, the famous Whizz Kids of the Hig Ten. If the Badgers win, Indiana will be happy for It will put the Hooisers back in a first place tie with the llllni. If Illinois wins, it means the Big Ten title for the boys from Urbaua. Captain W. R. Fall's cagers out at the flying post have certainly been playing in tough luck so far in the city league race. , Up to the time of this writing the t?4th gang has been Setting the worst of an argument with Lady Luck. In a game with the Highs, .the Falls men led up to within a minute or two of the final whistle when the Highs sneaked by to win by n nose. Then in the battle against .Maintenance Nb. 1, the Falls quint were out in front all the way until they bit the home stretch when the maintenance crowd put on the steam and sailed in by a whisker. * * * Sport fans?a word with you. You'r? missing a lot of fine sport when you miss those games at the High school gym every Monday, Wednesday and Friday niglit of eat'h week. * * * Why not walk over there tonight and see what a swell brand of basketball the city league is dishing up. * * * The announcement of Harry D. Kirkover, flashed to all corners of the nation by the Camden News Service, that the famous Carolina Cup classic would not be held this year, was of sufficient news interest to warrant the metropolitan sport writers playing it up wtih bold headlines. That w?r, in newspaper parlance, "hot news." Any doubt one may have had regarding the golfing prowess of Peter Casella was dispelled last week when the clever rjjanipulator of golf sticks traveler the first, second and eighteenth holes of the tricky Kirkwood course In exactly nine strokes. That, gents, is playing golf and 1 don't mean mebbe. * * Peter negotiated an eagle on the first, took a par on the second and then came back to the club house on the 18th with a birdie. There is a different atmosphere about that golf headquarters these days than what It has been In the seven years this scribbler has been claiming Camden aa hla home bailiwick. Mr. and Mra. Caaalla ara raal homey folka and they make every player and gueit feel aa if they ware accquaintancea of many years atanding. Our beat wiahea to this genial pair. Roses and Thorns The modern minute man Id the guy who teem to the grocery store sixty seconds after lie hears something uew has been rationed. There is one thing we can do for Hirohlto. We can make forever secure his position in history as the last of the Mlkados. Best one I've heard this week concerns the fresh young chap, home from college, who wanted to impress the old folks with his college ways. At the breakfast table he yelled at his mother, "Mom, chase the cow down this way." Mom was equal to the occasion and remarked to her husband, "John, give the poor calf some ! milk. Don't you hear him bawling for it?" "A fly and a flea in. a flu Were imprisoned, so what could they , do? ' ( Said the fly: 'Let us flee,' Said the flea; 'Let us fly' So they flew through a flaw in the flue." * "What is life?" quoth Donald. 'Life," sez us. "la an everlasting struggle to keep money coming in and teeth and hair from coming out." Have you heard of the chao named MeConib ? Who was cleaning his pants in his homo Ho. used gasoline That's the lust that wus seen Of McComh, or his pants, or his home." If county fairs, state fairs, the Kentucky Derby, or any o'fher similar events are likely to interfere with the war effort It seems illogical for organized pressure groups to attempt to continue them, says the Fond du Lac, wis; Commonwealth.Reporter. 1 , ??

'? *Tnr^ I * ' T ' " ^ 'r . ?-- - -^r~ RAYS OF HOPE A LL night long, light streams from the windows of IJL a railroad station . .'.like friendly rays of hope in a darkened world. For this is the night watch on the Southern Railway System. It's quiet... for a moment. But only for a moment. Soon a headlight will pierce the darkness. Soon another troop train will come thundering by. Or another train of oil and coal cars. Or another fast Southern freight, loaded with guns and tanks and food and tooli of war. Then a proud smile will light the face of the railroad man on the night watch. For he knows that the trains rushing by in increasing numbers are carrying figh ting ? ( \ freight and fighting men toward certain Victory. . . toward a Victory to which he and his co-workers on the Southern Railway are making mighty contributions. And when the war is won, these men and women of the Southern will do another great job. For then the South will enter a new era of growth and opportunity. Its already mighty industry will grow by leaps an<^ bounds. New products will come from its farms and mines and forests. Its cities and ports will throb with the ever-expanding commerce of a free world. Thus, in the rays of light streaming from a railroad station at night, we see the promise of a happier tomorrow. .. the certainty of a new and greater Southland. . ?-?w? k v President SOUTHERN RAILWAY SYSTEM
