The DeMolays were first to score for the season, when after they had copped the opening tip- off, Davlin was fouled under the basket and made his free shot good. Ed Garnick, aided by Elmer Lind- strom, was the oiggest gun of the DeMolay defense, though all the starters and replacements showed ithemselves quite apt at plucking Krause passes out of the au For the Concreters, sonn ‘Young and Sammy Nelson stopped a good share of DeMolay drives to keep the score from adding up even more w k Gerewell and Ralph Bar- die did most of the attacking, Gere- well worked well under the hoop, getting a lot of them off the back- board. Sammy Nelson sank some long cnes to lead the losers in scoring, while Elmer Lindstrom was top basket getter for the DeMolays. In the nightcap contest, the Doug- las Eagles showed a big edge in team play over the Graves All-Stars and left the floor with a seven point | edge, after all was over, winning 35 to 28. After McPhee had grabbed the opening tipoff for the Cloth- ers, Claude Erskine put the Eagles ahead with a field goal, and with Erskine continuing to lead their drive, the Islanders kept in front | all the way. | Erskine, with 16 points to his cre- | dit, grabbed off the scoring laurels | of the evening, and grabbed a mcel lead on all comers in the point get- ting race.

PETERSON COVINGTON, Ky., Nov. 7.—These big fellows in athletics have their troubles. Big Jim Weaver, of Covinton, 78'% inch pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates, found that out years ago when he played football, basket- ball and baseball for Western Ken- | tucky Teachers College. His old coach, Ed Dibble, says Jim was a “whale of a baseball pitcher” even in his college days. He tells a story of how an oppos- ing team tricked his team into an embarrassing siutation, all because of Weaver's size. “I took Weaver to Murfreesboro, Tenn,, once for a series of two games,” Dibble relates. “We trav- eled in model T's, with our lug- gage tied on the running boards., “As we drove up, they told us tof go into a cafeteria and eat, as the ‘vittles’ already were on the table. We did, and when we came out Jim’'s uniform was missing. “They knew no ordinary uniform, | fit Jim, but I thought I'd fool them }by telling Jim to drive to Nash- |ville, get an outfit, and be back ‘Ior the game the next day Just a Barefoot Boy t “Jim came back with no jersey |and no shoes, He wore size 14 shoes. “We split a jersey and put it on him but he refused to pitch bare- foot and we were hard put to find |shoes for him. We couldn’t find |any, but we had to have that vic- | tory. “Finally I got a pair of over- sized tennis shoes and cut holes in | |them so that Jim’s toes could stick |out in comfort. He balked on pitch- {ing in such a garb but I joshed | him into it. | “His toes must have stuck out! of those tennis shoes by three “Two months after we got back | to Bowling Green, the Postmaster told me there was a package for me.
