I am asked for an opinion, for an idea, for a bit of my personality in the solution of the problem. I am the eye that holds the hook of my people. I am busy! I am useful! What's a bit of hot water? What's a gallon of gasoline? I ask you? Sure I could complain!

I could complain about the schools that give too much homework. I could complain about the rain that never lets diapers dry. I could complain court, ihe boys were sensational. Everything they shot went in, and they carried out their plays to perfection.

After a while, Coach Holman just relaxed, sat back, and beamed as his boys did a job on the highly touted boys from old Kentucky.

Words from Isaiah, modern in their script, ringing in their vitality flung across the sky. Don't misunderstand, nothing elaborate, probably done on poor material, with poor paint that won't last but glorious in its conception, its belongingness; its self understood -ness in its lack of quotation marks. Even the word Kinnesset! It's been dead or at least half dead for most of the people for a long time. Dug out of the past it means the parliament of our people. A word on the lips of everyone, everyday alive, vibrant with meaning in ordinary usage.

On the basis of their play against Niagara in February, nobody gave the Lavender five a chance for national honors and many contended that the club didn't warrant being chosen among the best twelve quintets who made up the roster of the National Invitational Tournament.

Only one senior, Boris Nachamkin, of Thomas Jefferson High School, figures to make all-Met honors which is a sad contrast to the situation ten or fifteen years ago.

The last minute saw Holman's doctor agreeing to let the veteran mentor go to the Garden, despite the fact that he had been running a temperature of 102.
