Well. the score see-sawed through' the first half ,as State- Temple scores have ,always done since time immemorial, and John , Lawther just- sat there on 'the bench tearing his hair, biting his nails and gnashing his teeth. Midway in'the second half, with the score still see-sawing, the big fellow happened to get ,the ball on ari out-of-bounds play right next to Lawther He noticed Law- ther, this time with his head bur ied in his hands Now the Ing'fellow is an op portunist par elccellence, so with the flippancy for wluch‘he is not ed in his _circle he turned to Law ther and sakcl._ 'Are ,you Ativiltg fun, Jolini" Coming when it slid, the little gum.) , must have hit Lowther just about right, for he looked up and smiled "", Arid coming when it did. ,that snide must have hit the team - Just about ridlst, for the Lions sucked Temple that night, 33-31.

Johnny Barr is. a natural floor geberal, lie`gs cool-headed. a good influence on steadying the team, a swell ball handler and he shows rare judg ment about just - what - should be done when the going gets rough. "The old pros at New York this year were astounded at his pivot ability, and practically everyone who saw him play agreed that he was one of the best men in the `test .this season, -I look for an even better season with him next' year , "While I'm at it," Lawther add ed. "I'd like to say something about Big ,Mac (retiring, captain, Cliff McWilliams).
