Feature this setup: Northwestern led by the slim one-point margin, 30- 29; and the clock showed a minute to go. The timekeeper hadn't yet poised his gun when Coach Cappon sent Mannie Slavin dashing from the bench. Either in downright excite- ment, or in haste to save those pre- cious seconds, Mannie still had his sweat pants on when he zipped up to the scorekeeper's desk, gesticulat- ing wildly for time out. The ball was out of bounds at the time, but no one gave heed to Mannie as the furious scramble onthe court continued, with the fans - by now hysterical - on their feet screaming without dig- nity and the Wolverines striving desperately for a pop at that hoop. Seconds elapsed and Ed Thomas did get a pot at it, a long arch from midcourt which ap- peared true as a birdseye. The ball banked off, seemingly per- feet, but spun around the rjm and then whirled out as if pro- pelled by force. Still, the Wolverines battled. Town- send and Smick tipped the ball high in. the air several times, but it would- n't go through the rim. By this time, even the usually im- perturbable Cappon had dashed from his bench over to the timer's desk, demanding to know why time wasn't called. Almost simultaneously, men left the Northwestern bench, happily waving their arms to indicate the game was over. Later, according to a Chicago newspaper account of the episode, Ade Schumacher, the timekeeper, explained that his gun had Jam- med, and the terrific din pre-. vented him from attracting the officials' attention. According to Schumacher, the battle was through before Thomas had tak- en his long shot. It would have required more than artful explaining to con- vince Cappy of that had Eddie's shot been good. Several years ago Wisconsin lost a Big Ten title when Illinois in a simi- lar situation scored a basket to beat the Badgers after the gun had jam- med and the timer had failed to get the attention of the officials. And the game Saturday night certainly carried title considerations with it, although this campaign is only half over and as confusing as the Sino- Japanese war. In Old Chicago . . CHICAGO Street Scene: A tooth- less wretch, clothed in rags and carrying a basket of firewood, ap- proached unsteadily a distinguished little man, who sure enough awaited a street car, and berated him with this gibberish: Oh, so you're the mayor, huh! Why don't you hire yourself a hall . .. Take this box, here's my box-and speak, you, you devil! You think I'm drunk, huh! I'm not drunk, I'm Democrat .. . Ha, ha, ha ... Take your hands out of your pocket! I got some- thing in my pocket, too . . . You think-." The words hung in his throat. He began to cough violently, a volumin- ous, wracking cough, then reeled and fell heavily to the street. The trolley arrived, the distinguished little man boarded it without glancing back. Rising to his feet with great effort, the wretch spat a chunk of blood and tottered a few paces, turned in an alleyway-out of sight.

"In some cases this year the crowds have gotten beyond control," the commissioner said. "I feel we have' not done our duty in developing sportmanlike attitudes on the part of students and others who watch the games." U. High Will Hold Annual Athletic Show Wednesday University High School will hold its 14th annual Purple and Gold Indoor Sport Meet at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow in the high school gymnasium. School will be dismissed at noon so that all students will be able to participate. The entire school is divided into the Purple Team captained by William Comstock and the Gold Team cap- tained by Howard Treadway. Each team will enter one group into each of the 26 events for the boys and the 11 events for the girls. Judges will be the faculty of the school and the following student teachers; Arthur Valpey, '38Ed., Mary Jane Mueller, '38Ed., Sally Kenny, '38Ed.. Dorothy Gardner, Ed., Robert Campbell, '38Ed., and David Holmes, '39Ed. Freshman Cagers AreExperimenting With Novel Basket With its objective the improvement of the game from a spectator's view- point, a new type of basket has been contrived and is. now being tested out on the freshman basketball court in the Intramural Building. When a ball falls through this new type of hoop a lever at the bottom of the basket is forced down and causes a red light to flash. In this way fans in the most remote corners of the gym can tell when a score is made without waiting for the cheers and the scoreboard. If this new feature proves suc- cessful with the freshman cagers the Varsity may soon adopt it and it may eventually be used in all Big Ten schools. However several of the yearling cagers have different ideas on the matter. Since the new contraption requires a metal framework to sup- port the lighting apparatus, the mesh cords have been done away with, and many of the boys are complain- ing that they miss "the old familiar swish."
