It has to do with the subject of height. A number of our corn-fed cagers whose heads rise alnost to the second floor of an office bpilding have been arget sfor some lusty booing and catcalls from the spec;ators. Warren Womble, head coach of the U. S. Olympic basketball team isn't going to allow complaining spectators bo interfere with his pkuw. Hia ?qtmd ronststs of Seven Kansas players, five from the Peoria, 111. Diesel Caterpillars jnd a pair from the Phillips Oilers. "We're here to said Womble who intends employing a two-platoon system. "I'll use all the height I've jot." What Womble meruit was that the big men wouldn't vpend as much time on the bench as they did during 1936 fames, which was exactly where the crowd wanted them. "Bub Kurland and other tall men were bench-warming against Argentina," recalls Womble. "We were trying to please the crowd and win with our smaller men.. We iaa a narrow escape. Narrow escape is putting it mildly because the U. S. luintet trailed by 10 points with four minutes to play, finally squeaking out a 59-57 victory. Womble isn't going to et this happen again. Assuredly the United States doesn't have a monopoly ar. all the tall men in the world but they can place a team averaging 6 feet 8 inches on the floor. Other nations fall ?ar short of these altitudionous figures. Becausse of giant stature our men are thought of as Dig, bad ogres taking advantage of smaller human beings from Japan, India, the Philippines, etc: Everybody wants to chop the giants down like the legendary one who lived in a beanstalk. This hasn't been possible. When a 6-10 man lumps three feet into th eair and stretches his arm out; las fingertips reach 10 feet skyward or the height of the joal. Smaller players from other countries attempting to grab he ball get handfulls of air. They're like midgets flagging iown an express train with a handkerchief. Naturally, the rain speeds on and by the same token the ball swishes hrough the netting. There has been a constant grumbling to equalize matters by height limitations. Separate divisions have been jroposed. "This makes fairer competition," is the foreign sry But why penalize Fran kMcCabe (6-8), Clyde Lovelette (6-9), Marc FVeiberger (6-10) and Bob Kurland (6-101/2). umply because they probably ate their spinach as babies ? These boys have been plagued enough throughout life vithout an Olympic persecution where a foreign speaker >pening the ceremonies said, "Long Jive friendship between lations." - - ^ c. ? By plagued we mean difficulty of buying ready-made ?uits, extra food bills and people kidding, "How's the air ip there? or growling, "Down in front!" . So from out of this discord comes a question for the ports editors of the daily newspapers of our nation to inswer: "Doed Olympic basketball '.need any changes to qualize cootpetitioiir* _ .

He chuckled over a key! play but he blurted out, "Thpt place is less than half full." Al? ways cOriseious of attendance figures, Hamp easily reasoned that there must be about 17,000 present and he was right when the attendance for the game was announced at 17,??1. Then Hamp chattered on: "I can remember the day when! just Robinson and Campanella out there would pack that place pieriod. Negro crowds alone would jam E'obets Field just to glimpse R bbie and Campy. Those days are j.ust gone new because Negro plajj-ers are. alL f ! over and are no longer a novel' ty.
