RURAL LEAGUE NOTES
A surprise was tossed into the ranks
of the Rural Basketball League last
Friday night when the Beaumont -quin-
tet took a 25 to 21 victory over the
league leading Lehman outfit. Al-
though the defeat did not topple the
Idemen from the top of the circuit it
served to put the Shavertown, Orange
and Trucksville tossers within strik-
ing distance of the top rung,
The games for next week should
bring out the fans in large numbers
due to the close race in the ‘circuit.
‘A game which should draw out more
fans than have ever attended a game
at the Meridian {Hall will be the game
between Shavertown. and Lehman.
When these teams: met earlier. in the
season, Shavertown won by 2 points

to this column by John Sullivan, pro-
prietor of Meridian Hall, who is doing
all he possibly can to make the sport
a paying proposition in the rural sec-
tion. This figure is based on thirty
games that have been played in the
hall, by the Meridian Big Five, the
Rural League games and four high
school games.
Mitchell still retains the leadership
in points scored for the first ten games
of the season with 137, followed clos-
ely by Hislop also of Orange with 129,
Phillips of Shavertown has 122, Rich-

One of the players in the rural lea-
gue received a Valentine with the
following inscription on it:
Of all ten men of va wooden floor,
You're the biggest chiseling bore,
But maybe you're a Pulman keeper
Taking care of every sleeper.
If you played for a salary,
Youd lead all the breadlines,
But you've got a drag and make all
~ the headlines,
And though no one else wants you,
How'd you like to be my Valentine.
Why The Referee Has a Hard Job
An interesting discusion between
two veteran basketball managers took
place recently.
One contended that a good referee
never is swerved by frantic partisan
razzing because he doesn’t hear it if
he is concentrating on his duties pro-
perly.
The other said it was not humanly
possible to be uninfluenced when rabid
rooting and razzing is all one way.
It is true a good referee is so inter-
ested in making accurate decisions he
is oblivious to everything else.
We doubt that big league baseball
umpires are influenced by the most
rabid fan abuse, and there is no.abuse
in big time football Whenever a

Hall according to figures submitted
| sport is played in the open and there
is enough space between spectators
and officials we doubt that any amount
of verbal protest makes any difference.
But there are exceptions to every
rule, and we believe that some basket
ball layouts bring the exception at
times. In the first place, spectators
are almost up against officials in a
small basketball hall. They can reach
out and-touch them. In the second
place, a restricted area magnifies
sound to such an extent that even the
most phlegmatic referee hardly can ig-
nore it at all times.
Under such circumstances, a good
referee will not be moved into taking
sides with a partisan crowd, since the
definition of a good official is that he
must be fair and fearless. But even
the best, sometimes, will have a tend-
ency to “Lean Backward.” :
They will begin to wonder whether
club who partisans think it is being
outraged, and make allowances for it
which aren't Justified.
‘As soon as a referee begins making
allowances, he is doing something
wrong, though the plan of giving ex-
tremely doubtful decisions to the vis-
iting club doesn’t necessarily come un-
der that definition.
Good referees have been known to
lean backward, and we have known
good officials to have intimidated by
actual physical contact with specta-
tors: not often, though.
There is no argument about the of-
ficials who calls thirty-two fouls on
one team and only twelve on the other.
If he knows how many he has called,
tries to even them up or doubts his
own judgment because they are called
a one sided proportion, he isn't a
good referee.
A good referee will call the fouls as
he sees them, whether or not they are
overwhelmingly against one of the
teams. He will not consider that an-
gle at all.
So far this season the officials
the Rural League have not shown any
favoritism.

STATE COLLECTS
DELINQUENT TAX
in
(Continued from Page 5)
of his department, Dr. King has ac-
‘tually brought into the state, in the
form of revenue, between five and six
millions of dollars that would not
have come to the state under pre-
viously existing conditions.”
Dr. King in reply pointed out that
the additional collections would not
Pave been possible “if it was not for
the cooperative drive of the state and
the oil industry to eliminate, so far as
can be done, the gasoline bootlegger
and the gasoline tax evader.”
Figures made public at Harrisburg
lshow that the increase in comsumption
Fof gasoline in the United States, ac-
| cording to tax figures of all states for
1931 over 1930 averages between four
and five percent. In the states sur-
rounding Pennsylvania including New
York, New Jersey, Maryland, West
Virginia, Delaware and Ohio, the av-
erage increase in the consumption ac-
cording to the gasoline tax figures was
aproximately five percent. In compar
ison with these figures, the actual in-
crease in tax return to the state of
Pennsylvania in 1931 over 1930, and
disregarding any taxes that were col
lected and due in the years pre-
vious to 1931, was 18.7 percent.
If it is assumed that the actual in-
crease in Pennsylvania was not in ex-
cess of 5 percent, the difference be-
tween this figure and 18.7 percent, or
13,7 percent is tax money that was
collected in 1931 which would not have
been collected had the tax evasion
racket not been corrected and almost
eliminated.
All told, a total of $3,626,022.12 has
been paid into the state treasury which
would not have been possible without

“It is safe to say that during 1931
this Bureau has made determinations
in excess of the normal increase: of
between four and one half million and
five ‘million dollars, of which we have Joos
already collected and turned into the 7
State Treasury over three and one-

to over five million dollars at 3c a gal-

minations of over one million doliars
which have not as. yet been paid and
we will have an increase in 1931 over
1930 of over six million do¥ars. This
is very nearly a 20 per cent increase
in dollars in 1931 over 1930, taking into
consideration that which was collected
and deposited and that which has been
determined and not collected.”
