WE'RE GOING to talk about high school ketball coaches who jump from their seats, ploy their fists, climb on the playing floor, violently protest decisions. I think they ought to be spanked. - : tg / It's been 15 years since I've bounced a basketball for dear ol’ Hammond High School and the late Coach Spud Campbell, Every kid thinks his coach is about the best

guy alive. There are exceptions, of course, That's

the way I felt about Spud Campbell, Spud bet the principal didn’t know his first name), my memory and heart say, was a gentleman. A gentleman and coach and fine friend even though it took two years to fight my way to the tail end of the second team only to stay there. Cannon fodder. We had a lot of talent in those days. > © ¢ : RECENTLY, I've been seriously concerned with the black eyes King Basketball has been taking in the East. Last year in Indiana Jhere were a couple of disturbing fisticuff demonstrations. They wound up in court, Last year the violent antics of Ray Eddy, then coach of State Champion Madison, always left an old sweat-sock taste in my mouth. I could never understand why coaches blew their tops in front of 15,000 students. What would happen if every student emulated a coach's action? What happened to some of the old sayings about the only important thing in a game is how it is played? Isn’t the game played for fun? How about sportsmanship? I watched eight coaches in the Butler Fieldhouse during the first four games of this sectional. Several times I felt like running out for a movie camera and taking action shots for the records, ® % o¢

LAWRENCE CENTRAL lost in the first game of the sectional. While Coach Smysor Bruce was watching Manual beat his boys, 54-45, Mr. Bruce gave directions from his seat only once. That's as far as his demonstrations went. Russ ‘MeConnell, Manual Coach, on the other hand, was up on his feet 11 times during the game; he jumped to his feet and gave directions eight times; twice he stormed on the playing floor to protest a decision; once he ran to the edge of the floor and pounded it with his fists; once he was crouched near the floor shouting directions; he yelled loudly from his seat nine times; he waved both hands in disgust twice and once wound his arm around his head violently in disagreement, * © 4 IN THE SECOND game, Howe whipped Beech Grove, 18-6. That was the stalling game with which Myrfay = Mendenhall Jr, Beech Grove coach, Hoped to upset Howe. Elwood Yeager, Howe coach, stood twice and gave directions. That was all for the entire hectic game. Mr. Mendenhall, early in the game, stiffened with agony out of his seat when a player missed a shot. Then he went on to give directions stand-

NEW YORK, Feb. 24—New York City seems to have the biggest buildings, the biggest stores —and the biggest crooks. You folks in other cities should be prouder of your college athletes after our basketball scandal. One Broadway bookmaker, Honest Herbie, tells me in fact that the bookies are the only honest people left in NY. «What about the columnists?” I said. “What about 'em?” he glared. Anyway, he sald, the cops, the firemen, the politiclans— “It’s the rawest thing in the world,” Honest Herbie beefed. “There's honor among bookmakers. schiioe can see there ain’t no more h

And we don’t want no heat. : “Why, what them kids done, no bookmaker'd ever stoop that low down: What them kids done is like rattin’ on your country.” Honest Herbie is positive that, although he is an almost daily violator of the law, he is a far better fellow ethically than the bribe-takers, . “A angel I ain't. A saint I ain't. But I'm legit," he proclaimed. “Why am I honest?” He wondered himself, then thought of the answer. “Because I gotta be to stay in business.” He sketched it out. “Us legit bookies, all we want is honest sports. We don’t want nothin’ fixed. We want two-way action. We want volume. That's where we make.” Have a few fixed games, he said, then you get one-way action. No volume. “But like I told you, a bookmaker is an honest man, ‘he’s gotta be. He MUST be. “So I don’t pay off, they go t’ the DA. They go t’ Dewey! “I gotta be here tomorrow to stay in business, so I gotta be honest. I don’t need no office to do business. Just a pencil. Some paper. I do some sneakin’.

Americana By Robert C. Ruark

NEW YORK, Feb. 24—Joseph Palma, M, D., of Honolulu, has just ripped off a monograph called, “I Am Tired of Love and Security,” which Is going to set every second psychiatrist in the country baying at his coattails. But it buys him one loud burst of applause from me,

Dr. Palma has spent better than 20 years as middleman for NN” Z the stork, and has ushered some —~ 6000 lusty yowlers into this == < A vale of taxes. The doc says he ® = was regarded as tough (he used .r to tie down the hands of his charges when they sucked their thumbs) but he says he has just checked the records and \; none of the little dears are in r jail, . 7) In past years there has been A a tremendous emphasis on “love and security,” to the point that the little thug who sets fire to the schoolhouse or chops up a playmate has been provided with the automatic alibi of lack of security in his formative days. The parent, himself, became the guilty party if the child turned sour, notwithstanding the fact that a great many preachers’ children turn ‘out to be stinkers. ; “ © DR. PALMA does not think that a child {is a little adult. He thinks that early in the piece he is a selfish little tyrant who is intent on selfgratification at all coats. “1 do not yleld to an infant, in the first month of life, right or authority,” writes Dr, Palma. “I agree that he frequently exhibits a sure force and I am convinced that he desires to possess, but since he is unacquainted with Webster's he does not know what is combined with ability to purchase, . “This price of purchasé is usually met by the mother with a kind of bewilderment and a counterfeit money of love and affection when in reality she is so beside herself with lack of know-how that she acceds to every demand only to live to regret it in her child's adolescence.”

Dr. Palma concludes: “Disapproval of antisocial actions must be voiced, reproof and re-

Hollywood-Sponsored Idea of Love na

Fails to Survive CHAPTER ONE By LEE GRAHAM HEN TOM and Elsie got married, everyone said: “What an ideal couple—they’re just made for each other.”

Their future did look as

bright as the engagement sparkler, for which Tom spent his last cent. Wasn't Elsie pretty, slender, and resolved to be a good cook? Wasn't Tom handsome, tall, and determined to make a lot of money? A year later, when the fights came too thick and fast, Tom and Elsie got a divorce. Their relatives and friends were shocked. How could this happen? Tom and Elsie had heen so médly in love. That, precisely, was the answer to their divorce. They had been madly in love instead of being sanely, wisely, deliberately in love. If they had only liked each other, their union would have had a better chance. ” » »

LIKE THOUSANDS of other young American couples, Tom and Elsie were victims of a dangerous idea—the Romantic Myth, The Romantic Myth is a theory—regarded by too many people as a fact—which says that love conquers all. As soon as you feel “love” you should get married: Love seems to consist mostly of a pounding heart, long cling- - ing. kisses, and much gazing into each other’s eyes. To define it more clearly than that would be a sacrilege because it is too

Test of Time

EDITOR'S NOTE: The seeds of divorce are usually planted during courtship. That's the discovery of Lee Graham and her associates who have made a long study of the rapidly growing divorce problem in America. This is the first of six articles by Mrs. Graham with a completely fresh approach to the causes of divorce. The author is 32 years old, happily married and has made a research of marriage problems extending over several years. She majored in psychology at Columbia University, is experienced in psychological testing, and is co-author of a recent book, “Your Way to' Popularity and Personal Power.” She has written articles for national magazines and has appeared on a number of tele-

They say that anyone who feels

this way and gets married, is slated for a future of unalloyed bliss. Hollywood has helped promote this Romantic Myth. Slick-paper fiction and soap operas have done their share, too. :

Superchemical Monster Hatched

By Germans During

World War Ii

By WATSON DAVIS, Director, Science Service NERVE GASES—‘Madness” gases they can be called —are horrible weapons as much to be feared as the atom bomb. The public has heard little about the nerve gases. The facts have been kept more secret than

atomic weapons.

Even the German researches that gave birth to this

monster in World War II are tied up in strict secrecy, despite our knowledge that the Russians have full information on the German gas Tabun, and have captured German experts who are aiding their own chemical warfare specialists, Whether Russia or the U, 8.

is ahead in this grim race is unknown. Without question scientists in the laboratories of both nations are hard at work.

So far as is known there has never been actual trial in warfare for this superchemical weapon. But what is known about the experiments that have been conducted causes real apprehension should any nation use this class of chemicals as a weapon.

Other poison chemicals have been used in war, beginning with the introduction of chlorine by the Germans in the first world war. Germ warfare was used, if we are to believe some stories, by the Japanese in Manchuria.

But the nerve gases have not had their baptism of actual military use, thanks presumably to not being ready for use. Or thanks to the chemical warfare stalemate that existed in the second world war.

Inc that conflict both sides were ready with vast dumps of deadly gas behind their lines, neutralized in effect by the fear of sure retaliation by the enemy if poison gas were used. There was one other deterrent: High explosives can do more damage to the enemy than the same amount of conventional poison gas, with greater safety to one's own troops.

i » #” » BUT THE newer nerve gases are something else again. So little of them is needed to be effective that they may prove to be even more effective for destruction than TNT and RDX explosives. - They may do a kind of job that even atomic bombs will not do. For they might kill off or disable large parts of the human and animal population and leave great cities and the countryside essentially unscathed for future use by the enemy.

Among chemical agents only the nerve gases seem likely to

offer our potential enemies effective weapons for longrange attack.

In official government information about civil defense so far published only one form of chemical warfare is given any prominence—the nerve gases.

“The nerve gases are more toxic than any previously known war gases,” the official publication states. ‘They are nearly colorless and odorless. They are liquids which yield toxic vapors when they evaporate. Since most of the chemical would be laid down on or near the ground, the highest concentration would be near the ground.” Some of the nerve gases, the official information reveals, are persistent and others are relatively nonpersistent. :

The nerve gases may be absorbed into the body through breathing them into the lungs. They can also get through the skin and particularly in the eyes, If saliva is contaminated with them, it can be swallowed with dangerous results.

These are not merely my peropinions. They have been borne out by dozens of scientific studies of married life made by the soundest research groups in the country. Yet the number of persons who worship this Romantic Myth is staggering. And so is the number of divorces. Recent figures from the Federal Office of Vital Statistics show that the rate of divorce has increased 521 per cent since 1890. The casualties of American marriage are higher than those of our wars. About one out of three unions now crashes in the divorce courts.

HOW DOES it happen that a young couple who can’t “live without each other” in June can't live with each other in January? The case of Tom and Elsie is quite typical. They were both faithful followers of the Romantic Myth — right down to the last detail. She had observed, from movie-going and magazine - reading, that men always fell in love with a girl who was attractive, provocatively dressed, and gay.

If her nose uptilted and her hair was blonde — so much the better. Knowing how to cook and sew and keep within a budget had nothing to do with sex appeal. And sex appeal, after all, was what led a girl to a handsome six-foot husband with money to burn. The only “important” plans in the hands of this couple were those preceding the wedding. Such as the number of guests. Such as what dress to buy. Such as the maid of honor and best man. The life that came after the march down the aisle would take care of itself. What was there to worry about if two people were really in love? Tom had gone to the movies,

A “smooth line” was desirable but an opinion about literature or politics might brand you as a drip. Of course, having plenty of money was a decided asset but, if you were charming enough, you didn’t need it. For then you could marry a millionaire’'s daughter.

Or, if you weren't that lucky, your special brand of charm would get you a big job with a top salary in no time at all, But even if you failed to earn a decent living after taking the marriage vow, love would always reign supreme in that cottage by the waterfall.

THE SYMPTOMS produced by these war gases.depend upon the amounts absorbed. The action is prompt and treatment must be speedy in order to save a victim. If a high concentration is breathed for a few seconds, death occurs. Exposure even to traces of their vapors causes marked constriction of the pupils of the eyes, The bronchial tubes be-

come constricted, there is sudden difficulty in breathing, accompanied by coughing, shortness of breath and watery discharge from ‘the nose. A slightly greater exposure causes painful constriction of the focusing muscles of the eyes. There is pain when the

person afflicted tries to focus.

his eyes and often bright light is painful. Severe exposure causes irrational behavior, hence the reference to nerve cases as “madness gases.” There is also emotional ~ instability, depression, restlessness, and tremor in such cases. Milder cases of nerve gas poisoning may show such mental symptoms as giddiness,

“A man usually knew just about what he could do with hig gun,” said the county history, “and if the implement was reliable and accurate, it ‘was petted as affectionately as a favorite child and often given a pet name. “Off-hand aim was the general rule—to shoot with a rest was boyish and beneath the dignity of a hunter.” As a matter of fact, the stalwart marksmen who first settled Indiana didn’t need shotguns. Anything they wanted to shoot, they shot with the rifle. Consider the bushy - tailed squirrel, which, by the summer of 1834, had become a cropeating nuisance and destruc tive pest in Bartholomew County. A rivalry having sprung up between Sand Creek and Wayne townships, it was agreed to hold a squirrel-killing. match.

tension, anxiety, insomnia and excessive dreaming. Treatment of nerve gas cases involves primarily the injection of atropine. Civil defense plans will probably include making available this drug, along with the syringes for injecting it. If the nerve gas victim becomes ashen and blue-lipped due to lack of oxygen, artificial

respiration is necessary, 8 ” ”

MORE RIGOROUS protec-

» tion from nerve gases by masks

and protective clothing is needed than for other war gases. Only certain types of gas masks are effective and they have to be fitted and maintained carefully. Impermeable protective clothing, including boots and gloves, are needed to prevent absorption of persistent nerve gas through the skin. After a nerve gas attack, contaminated skin should be cleaned off with alkaline solutions. These may be a weak solution of sodium carbonate or household ammonia, or even strong soap and water. The official. information dis-

being more difficult to hit, would be counted as two squirrels. The side killing the greatest number was to be declared the winner, and that township was to be treated to a mammoth free barbecue by the other.

Women Helped

“The match created the wildest excitement,” according to Brant and Fuller's history. “Women and girls backed up the men-folks by moulding bullets and keeping shotpouches and powder-horns well filled. “During the three days, from daylight to dark the war raged most furiously; the rattling and popping of rifles sounded almost like a battle; the air was clouded with powder-smoke; the slaughter was enormous. “On the day of the barbecue
