Our Athletes
By FRANK BITCH NAN
EVERETT SHELTON, coach of
the Wyoming University basket-
ball team, has apologized for the
derogatory remarks he made about
Jewish players while his quintet
was losing to City College of New
York recently,
and now all's
,
quiet on both
eastern and
western fronts.
Speaking at a
weekly luncheon
meeting of the
Metropolitan
Basketball Writ-
ers Association
in New York,
Beckman
Shelton denied
that the words he had spoken from
the bench were anti-Semitic.
"I am very sorry that my re-
marks caused such a disturbance,"
Shelton said. "However, what I
said about Jews had nothing to
do with religion or anything else.
"The word 'Jew' was merely de-
scriptive. I did not swear. In our
section of the country, when we
play against Indians we call them
Indians and we call Swedes
Swedes."
Nat Holman, former New York
Celtic star and CCNY mentor, was
asked to appear before the col-
lege faculty to explain why he
exchanged heated words with Shel-
ton in full view of 18,000 fans in
Madison Square Garden.
"To err is human, to forgive
is divine, but I was greatly up-
set by Shelton's conduct," Hol-
man said. "We coaches, as edu-
cators, have a definite responsi-
bility. What happened at the
Garden was the most unfortunate
thing that has ever happened in
sports. There is no room for
things like this in the field of
sports."
Milt Gross, former vice presi-
dent of the writers association,
said "Shelton had forfeited his
right to coach a basketball team,"
and suggested that Wyoming dis-
miss him.
Joe Lapchick, St. John's Uni-
versity coach, denied that he
stepped between Holman and Shel-
ton as was reported in some pa-
pers, but declared that the sin-
cerity of the Wyoming mentor's
apology would have to come from
his heart.
Among those at the meeting was
Gleen Jacoby, Wyoming director
of athletics. He made no comment.

PROBABLY NOT.
Every-year, electric lamp bulbs are
doing a better and better job.
But lamp bulbs are often overworked in winter-
when the days are dark and the nights are long. In
fact, the average lamp bulb in the home is lighted
almost twice as long in January as in July.
To spare yourself needless bother, be sure you have
plenty of spare bulbs on hand. Your dealer has them
-in all sizes-and all modestly priced. '
Remember, too, that you can exchange burned-out
bulbs for new ones at any Edison office or Edison
lamp-exchange agency. Or simply call RAndolph
6800 and ask the Lamp Exchange Serviceman to
call at your home with a fresh supply. There's no
charge, of course.
