Show f Sports - ' ( Seeing With Dean : With exception of the Olympic Olym-pic hopefuls, the basketball players, fans and critics will hang them up for another summer. A few die-hards will continue to work out the nucleus nuc-leus for the team which will represent the United States at the Olympic games in August in Japan. Now, the usual post-season debating about what should we do to change the game of basketball. Not, in some people's mind, to change it to the good, but just to change the game. Some just can't be satisfied with the status quo. Most promient of the suggestions sug-gestions of the past few years has been the one to raise the basket to 12 feet from its present pres-ent ten feet above the floor. Another and one that seems destined to get some pretty strong play this year is tha allowing of three points for any basket made from outside a circle drawn to the top of the foul circle. This would be a 21 foot circle drawn from a point at the middle of the backboard to the basket. This would leave about three and a half feet to four feet from the side of the court in, the corner for a man to maneuver amd shoot in for the three points. This is at the maximum width of 50 feet across the end of the court. j We're concerned that this ' might turn the game of basketball basket-ball into a stand-outside-and-shoot affair that would slow the game down and hurt the overall concept of the excitement excite-ment of the fast parced-game we know today. ( Too many rules do too much to limit the scope of the game. The three-point rule would definitely slow down the number num-ber of drives you would get lown the middle . . '. one of the most exciting plays of the game. Still, something must be done to open up the jammed jam-med up middle so the smaller men can drive. As it is, the foul lane is so clogged with the giants of the hardwoods that it's almost like running through a dense forest.

Slats Gill of Oregon State complained he never got to see one of the officials directly unless he walked out on the court. His complaints or questions went through his Athletic Director to the Commissioner, Com-missioner, to the head man of the officials organization and finally, if necessary, on to the official himself. Then, if the official wanted to communicate communi-cate with the coach, his communication com-munication took the reverse route. It Is now believed the cnarh. es and the officials should sit aown together sometime during dur-ing the year to view questionable question-able plays captured on film, to discuss together the interpretation in-terpretation of certain rules, especially new rules. This will not only help the officials to call a game more comfortably, that is, have some of the pressure removed from the bench, but will also keep some of our coaches from "cheer leading" . . . getting up and down and thereby sparking the fans to follow his critical admonitions where the officials are concerned. There must always be room for improvement, no matter what the business or the game. But there is also a better wav of going about this improve ment. Basketball has proved itself it-self a pretty stable game with few changes over the past few years . . . and most changes have definitely been for the good of the game. When a detrimental or cumbersome pule came along, the officials of the game have been quick to recognize it and make the necessary changes without too much delay. Another thing in their favor is the ability to try out such things as the three point rule, the center jump after each basket, the one-and-one foul rule in non-league games for a year before making any change. Basketball is a great gams. But let's hope those in charge can keep it under control without ruining its fan interest. in-terest.

My tulips are still three inches high but they look a little yellow around the gills. But to get back to the newly washed front window sills I must tell you that as soon as Putsie lays his cat eyes on the pristine whiteness of those sills, they will be all decorated up with coal black paw prints.

Rode out with the family and so had a brief visit and "I knew her when." I'm not going into politics so don't start to fume, Dearie. This little chit is strictly pla-tonic pla-tonic whatever THAT is. I just want to tell you that after so long a time I have pullad myself cut of the Slough of Despond far enough to dig out the manuscript of my Mormon novel, dust it off, and start to cut it again. Again. And it's all Esther's fault. Listening and seeing Esther Peterson for the last while and comparing her accomplishments accomp-lishments and get up and git with my own sluggardly endeavors en-deavors finally aroused me to do something. Well, what? With me there is always lurking lurk-ing somewhere some writing and most particularly there is that thrice damned Mormon novel. So, on Saturday, I started cutting it again, something some-thing that I haven't been able to even think about for a long, long time. It's a strange thing, this writing. The happiest times of my life have been the times I've spent writing, but try and get me at it! I can think of more reasons not to do it today. to-day. Tomorrow, maybe, but not today. Tomorrow for sure, but not today. And tomorrow, as you know and I know, never nev-er comes. Not for me, at least, and that is the differepce between be-tween the Esther Petersons of the world and the Ruth Loiuse Partridges. Esther doesn't wait for tomorrow. She does it today to-day and with her whole soul and strength, and more power pow-er to her and a long life. I hear they are about to For glorious burgers Clieezltom!

We want to a tenement loft (the boys were lucky to have even such a place, my brother DeAlton assured as-sured me and he should know, being closely associated with scouting these many years). In the middle of the floor was a six or seven foot trunk of tree, complete with bark. Somehow or other the boys has lugged that heavy bit of flora to their meeting place. To this bare pathetic thing were nailed slabs of orange crates for branches. But what brought the tears to my eyes was a lone, shriveled leaf, tacked on to an orange crate branch.
