THEY DO
SOUND ALIKE!
Only the banks are more insistent that the
figures be correct than the sports fans..
Donegal high school basketball fans have been
having a certain amount of trouble this season
with the individual scoring figures. And - some of
them are not completely happy!
A little investigation this week by the Bulletin,
which has been partially involved on a couple of
occasions this season for perpetuating earlier
errors, turned up what may be a big part of the
problem.
As it happens, two of the Donegal Indians this
season, are named Kevin Miller and Doug
Mueller.
Now, for those who know the boys, know the
families and are interested in both young men
there seems to be no real reason to confuse the
two.
However, when the names are pronounced,
there is a very certain similarity. Add to that the
problem, the gigantic roars of an excited
basketball crowd, reverberating its cheers and
howls off the floor, walls and ceiling of the
gymnasium, and the problem at the official
scorer’s bench is multiplied ten-fold.
This is the system used in scoring a game. The
two officials who keep the officials books are
seated Side by side. When either team counts a
field goal or a free toss, or when a foul is called,
the scorer associated with the team call out the
name of the boy. ,
Thus, Donegal’s scorer, after Kevin Miller
scored a fielder, would say, ‘“‘Miller.”” If, by
chance Doug Mueller also was playing at the
moment or had played sometime in the game
and his name was on the playing list, the other
official scorer who is not particularly familiar
with the names of the boys could-and does on
occasion - in the noisy gymnasium misun-
derstand the name. And, it’s all very un-
derstandable how it happens.
At the end of the game, the two scorers check
the total points of the game between themselves
and if they agree, the books are closed.
Then, there is still another step in the total
chain of reporting, at which the two names can
become confused.
It is a standing rule that the “home team’
calls the newspapers to report the scores.
It is seldom that the individual scoring of the
home team boys is confused, for the ‘home
team’ scorer knows his own boys and can take
the particular extra care that is necessary to
keep a stranger on the other end of the telephone
wire from confusing such names as Miller and
Mueller.
However, as the ‘home team’’ scorer reports
the visiting lineup, he sees and pronounces the
name on his book, but because he does not realize
the specific problem, does not take the special
precaution needed.
The sports writer on the other end of the line
writes down what he hears and that is that - right
or wrong.
So, that is the story of Mueller and Miller on
the Donegal basketball team, this season.
But, heck - both those lads are underclassmen
and probably will be doing even more playing for
Donegal next year than this!
NUTS
TO DAYLIGHT TIME
We can’t understand how daylight saving time
Is saving any energy.
It’s an unnecessary problem to most everyone
and few are happy about the darkness during the
morning portion of the day.
However, we do salute the Donegal and
Lancaster-Lebanon county school officials who
have had the good judgment to roll back school
opening times by half an hour. :

GOD, THE ATOM, AND THE UNIVERSE
By James Reid
Published by Zondervan, 1968
Many people tend to
separate the worlds of
science and religion. James
Reid’s book, ‘‘God, The
Atom and The Universe,”
ties these two worlds
together. According to Reid,
there is no conflict between
science and the Bible, and he
builds a strong case for this
viewpoint.
The author of ‘‘God, The
Atom and The Unvierse’’ has
been associated with the
atomic-space field for many
years. He has written
various technical articles
and is well-known and
respected in the science
field. However, he also is a
believer—in God and Jesus
Christ.
Reid’s book is the perfect
answer to those who deny the
Bible on grounds that it is
‘“unscientific.’”” He gives
evidence to support the
viewpoint that the more
scientific knowledge is ac-
cumulated the more valid
the Bible becomes! He
claims that the recent ad-
vances in atomic age physics
are just beginning to uncover
secrets about the universe—
and the incomparable
splendor of God’s creation.
The author gives much
consideration in his book to
the Genesis account of
Creation. He delves into
various recent ‘‘scientific”’
explanations regarding the
creation of the universe and
he sees no discrepancies
between Genesis and today’s
theories.
He is convinced that the
Bible indicates facts which
are still “over the horizon”
for science—facts which
science suspects, but which
still remain to be proved.
The author gives credence to
the possibility of extra-
terrestrial life. He feels that
we limit God if we deny the
extremely likely possibility
of life on other planets.
Furthermore, he feels it
not UNLIKELY that these
other beings would worship
our God!
Reid devots some space to
the discussion of Albert
Einstein's Theory of
Relativity and the possible
applications it has for us in
the future. The relativistic
theory suggests that time
can no longer be considered
a smooth, unchanging
stream, flowing in one
direction. It postulates that
as one nears the speed of
light, time slows down! Reid
relates how this very theory
is scripturally implied.
The appeal of Reid’s book
lies in the fact that it touches
upon many topics that are so
unsettled, so debatable, but
of such great curiosity. The
author deals with
prophecy,‘‘the fourth
dimension,” astronomy, the
future life—and, analyzes
them on a
scriptural basis.
We know friends who are
well-acquainted with the
author of this book. The
author is active in the life of
the institutional church and
has a powerful Christian
witness. His contribution to
Christian literature is unique
and much-needed in a world
of unbelievers.
