Friday, anuary 10, 1947 DETROIT &WISH CHRONICLE and The Legal Chronicle Page Sixteen 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. • • LYALL SMITH, sports editor of the Detroit Free Press, together with Hal New- hauser, Tiger's ace pitcher, and D o n Wattrick, sports director of WJR, will ap- pear on the "Sports N t e" program, sched- uled by Temple Israel Men's Lyall Smith Club for 8 p. m.

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. THE DETROIT EDISON Co.
