Most of this circulation came | through normal channels and with- out solicitation, but within the past four weeks The Post has added three hundred names to the list. Nelson Woolbert, son of the late Archie Woolbert, Trucksville mer- chant, is responsible for much of this growth. Physically handicap- ped so that he must spend much of his time’ at home, he thought that he might keep up contacts with old friends and become gainfully employed by using the telephone to obtain new subscriptions for the local newspaper. He suggested the idea to editor who accepted it. So if you receive a telephone call within the next few days, whether you are a subscriber or not, you will know it is from an authorized representative of The Dallas Post who has had the fortitude to carve out a job for himself.

LANDIS Dallas 4-3211 or Dallas 4-1101 FRANCES IVES Sportlights There are more tournaments than a fellow can keep up with. After reading the results, it appears that basketball, the only truly American game, will reach new heights this year. More people watch games in the United States than all of the fans attending baseball, football, horse racing and all other spectator sports combined. Great teams have been built at institutions so small that they can- | not afford, or do not have the ma- terial for football and other sports. It takes ten men and a possible outlay of two hundred dollars to outfit a basketball team. There will always be the giant killers like Memphis State, Spearfish Normal and [Slippery Rock, that go out and beat Kansas. Who ever heard of Rio Grande in Ohio, until Bevo Francis came along? It has taken some of our Eastern teams awhile to get going, but as of today they have acquitted them- Temple, all out of Philadelphia, should go a long way. Temple or LaSalle could very well be the Eastern Champion at season’s end. The sports world was saddened last week when word of Bob Zup- pke’s death came over the wires. He was one of the better football coaches, and he will be missed, not only for his teams, but for his ready wit. Zuppke retired only a few short vears ago, and had been devoting his time to oil paintings. As an after dinner speaker, he made one statement that should go down as a classic. ‘“Let’s face it gentlemen; football is first wmlayed for the alumni. and then the student body. There isn’t an alumnus that would pay any football player that I have, one hundred dollars a month to work for him.” At least he called the cards as they came up. Probably the most renowned player Zuppke ever coach- ed was the immortal Red Grange, but many another young man is proud that he played for Zuppke. The American Davis cup team showed to good advantage even though they lost to the Australian team, but one shining licht was dis- covered, and this should help the future of American Tennis. Your writer is still hoping to hear from some of the young people interest- ed in forming a Tennis Club in the Back Mountain. Had quite a talk with Clint Brobst, genial coach of Westmore- land Basketball team. He assured me that extra seating will he ar- ranged for home games. This is important for as at the moment we have two good teams in the North Leacue, and it is my guess that neither will finish in the cellar. Leh- man-Jackson-Ross has ideal seating arrangements. Westmoreland, how- ever. due to the jointure. will be taxed to take care of its fans. Records mean nothing, but thev are interesting to read. If West- moreland ecsn continue to play as it has it should be able to take honors in the North League. In case you are interested, let’s look at the record. Westmoreland easily handled West Side Catholic on the loser’s court. West Side in turn had no trouble with either Ashley or Tunk- hannock, and won going away. That all looks good on paper, but if any of you Westmoreland players are reading this column, light a match to this section of the paper, and see how soon it goes up in smoke. That is no faster than your win streak can go up. We fans will be right behind you with all our support, but you are the ones who have to play the games. Naturally we like a winner. Tuesday night January seventh, the League season opens at Dallas Township Gym, with Dallas Area entertaining Fairview, at 7:30. Not much is known about Fairview but in the past it has always come up with good teams. Let's all turn out, and give the “Golden Hawks” a good send off in the North League. Tt micht pay all fans to reserve every Tuesday and Friday nights from now until February 25, to see Westmoreland in action. Some misunderstood the com- ments in this column of last week concerning Girls’ basketball. It was not a death knell that was sounded, but only a reply to an inauiry to this collmn. It is my wish, and many other fans of this resion that girls’ basketball be continued, and we hope that this also means this year, and everv year. HAPPY NEW YEAR.
