Lighter Bassett
Club Wins, 20-12
The Rock county high school
grid team sped past the O’Neill
high Eagles. 20-12, Friday night
in Carney park.
Speed is the word.
The visitors slanted the O’Neill
ends without much difficulty in
the first half and registered 2
touchdowns. The first marker
came when the game was only a
few minutes old. Bassett march
ed down the fiel<^ in a sustained
drive.
It was George Smith, hard
driving football - minded kid.
who wrecked the Eagles. He
hammered at the ends and set
up all 3 touchdowns. Smith is
a 175-pound gem who was in
jured in the 3d period but stay
ed in the game to the satisfac
tion of the crowd.
Don Godel made both O’Neill
TD’s after they were setup by
Don Calkins’ hard-running and a
long forward caught by Calkins.
Both O’Neill markers came in
the second half.
The Eagles completed but 1 of
a half - dozen flips in the first
half, did better in the second.
Bassett’s second touchdown
was ruled good after a lengthy
conference of officials. The visit
ors’ 3d TD came when Mickey
Morton skirted his own left end
from the O’Neill 28.
The Eagles outweighed Bassett
but couldn’t cope with the visit
ors’ better blocking and tackling.
The O’Neill Municipal band
turned in a fancy marching per
formance at intermission. Despite
a touch of winter in the air the
band maneuvers, under the lights
and in blackout, pleased the cus
tomers. It was the fanciest
marching yet seen on the O’Neill
grid.
The Eagles entertain the Bur
well Longhorns here Friday night.
The 48-piece Burwell band will
divide time with the O’Neill
band for the half-time perform
ance.

Turn Unfinished Attic Into Fine Playroom for Youngsters
BY EDNA MILES
TVTODERN living in small com
pact houses is fine, declare
most young mothers, as long as
the sun is shining, the days are
warm and the children can be
shooed outdoors for play. But
come a rainstorm or a snowfall,
and things are vastly different.
Many of today’s architects, preoc
cupied with picture windows and
radiant heating, seem to forget to
provide a place for cooped-up
small fry.
If yours is a small house, where
space is at a premium, perhaps
you can find your answer to the
c o 1 d-and-rainy-day problem in
your unfinished attic. Convert it
into a playroom, where your
.children can be kept warm and
dry without disrupting the entire
house.
need not be a prohibitively
costly venture if you use an in
expensive insulating board for
covering walls and rafters. This
material, which is available in
large sheets, narrow planks and
a variety of tile shapes, not only
fills in bare areas and provides its
own decorative effect, but it also
provides heat insulation and helps
quiet sound, makers claim.
To convert your attic into a
playroom, begin by placing knee
walls under the sloping roof at a
point which will allow a five-foot
rise from floor to rafters. Under
these walls, build in a set of con
tinuous three-tier drawers run
ning the length of the room. These
should provide ample storage area
not only for toys and play equip
ment, but also for blankets, out
of-season clothing and other fam
ily items.
Extras for playroom fun-time
include a swing screwed into an
overhead collar beam, built-in
blackboards flanking a window,
and an elevated platform for elec
tric trains. >
This room can be converted)
later into a bedroom for your|
children when they reach the age)
that a playroom is no longer1
useful.
