Sports Parade
(Continued from Page 10) to basketball. Guess it comes easier to me. "But I always really wanted to play football most." Carl goes south with Newark in the spring and has no illusions. "They'll decide what to do with me," he laughed. "Probably send me to Podunk. Full of nervous energy, Braun moves continually and effortlessly. That energy probably accounts for the difficulty rival court teams have in covering him. For the rookie in 12 games has hung up 154 points. His top performance, naturally, was the record breaking effort against Providence as the Knicks won, 114-85. Carl racked up 18 field goals and 11 fouls without a miss for his 47-point total. He scored 19 points in the final period and during the evening netted 18 shots in 35 attempts for a fine mark of 51 per cent. He got his biggest kick out of it when he got home. "I really took a ribbing from the folks," Carl grinned. "They laid a piece of red carpet out on the steps and my sister made a crown out of cardboard. They gave me the works." Braun is modestly proud of the sudden success but prefers to talk about the fact that his father once held the world record for bowling duckpins. "Dad said he set his record just like I did mine," Carl smiled. "As I say, I guess I was just unconscious!"
Featherston 'Hottest' Thing In Silks
(Continued from Page 10) filled the charmed circle more than 150 times. Although Harold is one of 9 children, five boys and four girls, he is the only member of the family to actively take up horse-backing as a vocation. "A brother, Eugene, tried it for a couple of months but gave up the fight early," the boy said at Gulfstream Park. "Maybe I had racing more in my blood than he did. Three years ago I joined up with Benny Creech, and he brought me to the saddle during the past winter. I rode the Creech horses around the Chicago circuit, but was able to show the way to the other jocks only at Washington Park. At all other tracks I kept chasing Steve Brooks who was always the leader." Featherston, who rides at 104 pounds, is finding no trouble making weight for his afternoon engagements. Both his parents are small, and the twig is already outstripping the branch, although he anticipates little trouble meeting the requirements of the scales for some time to come. He recently purchased an 80-acre ranch in Idaho for his mother and father, and plans to retire there when his own saddle activity is over. So long as he continues to boot 'em home as consistently as at Gulfstream Park that day of retirement promises to be long held in abeyance.
Bowl Records to Tech
Georgia Tech—which is sending down its 1947 Yellow Jackets to play Kansas—holds five all-time Orange Bowl football records, all set in the 1945 game against Tulsa. The team marks are for most passes attempted (38), completed (19) and yards gained passing (319). The individual records belong to Frank Broyles for 17 completed passes and 276 aerial yards.
Married Orange Bowlers
Of the 1948 Orange Bowl starting lineups, four Kansas and three Georgia Tech players are married.

Dictionary Reading Urged for Junior
CHICAGO (UP)—Read junior a page of the dictionary every day or he might become a gangster. That's the advice given by Max Sherover, head of the Linguaphone Institute of America. Sherover says that an extremely limited vocabulary results in exhibitionism, which causes anti-social conduct. He cites Al Capone as an example. Sometimes, he points out, it works the other way, as in the case of Al Smith, who manifested his exhibitionism by becoming one of the best loved figures of all time. Sherover asserts that reading a page from Webster every day is the best method to increase the vocabularies of children with low word knowledge.
Curiosity Didn't Kill This Cat, at Least
MILWAUKEE (UP) — Gabby the cat has overcome his curiosity. When his mistress, Mrs. Kurt Wiener, left her automatic washing machine drying the clothes with the door open, Gabby jumped in to investigate. He was discovered after the machine stopped automatically, some 200 turns later. Gabby was a rather dizzy cat for several hours.
Opponents Well Matched
The 1948 Orange Bowl opponents—Kansas and Georgia Tech—are as evenly physically matched as you would want. The Tech starting lineup averages 187 pounds, Kansas a half-pound more. Both teams average six-feet in height.
