Scott, the former St. Joseph’s hall all-starter who single-hand edly improved the brand of prep basketball in north Nebraska during his high school days, is the captain of the St. Louis uni versity cage team this year. Saturday night at St. Louis, against Bradley university, St. Louis came from 15 points be hind in the final quarter to avenge an early season loss. Captain Ed Scott and his mates were 11 points behind with two minutes and 23 seconds left. That’s when Bradley’s center, Elmer Behnke, fouled out, leav ing Bradley without a long man for the pivot. Behnke objected tfi the call and St. Louis picked up a point on the technical foul. After Behnke's departure, Brad ley failed to score again. Then, during those frantic two minutes, Mr. Scott, the pride of Atkinson, dumped in eight points. St. Louis won the game, 72-69, one fan in the crowd of 10-thou «and persons dropped dead, and Mr. Scott is coming to the fore ground among all-American bas ketball candidates.

DANCE SUMMERLAND ' at Ewing Sunday, Febr. 18 Music by BUDDY BAIR and HU Orchestra Inn, io HENRY J. TAYLOR, ABC Ntlwork, wry Monday Bend an ear to the deep baritone song of this marvel motor, and you’ll know we aren’t fooling when we call it Fireball. What happens beneath that brawny Buick bonnet happens in no other car in the world. Years ahead of the rush to high-compression valve-in-head engines, Buick was in there pitching for more power from every drop of fuel. The result: a spectacular engineering phenom enon you feel the instant you touch toe to gas treadle. A. rapid-fire sequence of tiny tornados, let loose their pent-up power every five inches a Buick travels. If you could look inside that bire ball engine, you’d see why. Instead of the flat-topped pii tons used in g other cars, Buick uses a turbo-top piston, b’ke this: * ^ So the inrushing fuel whirlwinds into a com pressed ball that adds a super-urge to the downstroke of the piston. And you get the thrill - and thrift — of this Buick “first” in every mile you drive. More, you get a tried-and-true engine that’s been polished and perfected in every detail up through the years. Again and again, compression ratios h&ye been stepped up to keep pace with advances in fuels. Self-setting valve lifters contribute to silence. Micropoise balance and Hi-Poised engine mountings add two more Buick exclusives. And the silken might of this Fireball’s power has heen made more beautifully obedient by still another “first”—Dynaflow Drive.* So we list as a prime reason why “smart buy’s Buick” this Fireball power plant—and a host of happy owners will say “Amen.” Better see your dealer soon. ♦Standard on ROADMASTER. optional at | Equipment, arctooru., trim and madaU or, mUjoct to chanf without notico.
