Now there are 5,000, which shows the popularity of the flower.” “The day lily,” Mrs. Mitchell smiled, “is perfect for the lazy gardener. It is best planted in late summer or early fall but can be 1 planted at any time when the ground is not frozen.” The speaker suggested that the day lUy be planted in the sun or only partial shade and that it’s feet be kept dry.

SPORTS SHOTS By HART CURL During the moments ol this fast fiding basketball season, youthful Tommy uause, a 14-year old 8th grader at John Nichols school, is as much a thorn in the side of the opposition as ever. When he and (lis Red Bird cage companions of the jjca^'Uc CttKe tO tile Ildi u vn»d, the adversaries usually have their defensive patterns revolving to cut down Tommy’s scoring out put. ^long with teammate Doug Wil liams, Tommy has established a ohe-two scoring punch for the Red Birds this season to keep them in contention for Little League sea sonal honors. The Red Devils rank only 5th in a field of 8 Little League teams but they’ve provided many gasp ing thrills for those few loyal fans who turn out to see these future stars of tomorrow’s varsity. Tommy, an able student schol astically, never misses a varsity game and his burning ambition is to graduate to the varsity team next season. I He is only 5-6 and when remind ed abdUt this, he encounters with the reminder that he is physically 1 larger than varsity first stringer Laurie Debose. j In his spare time, he whips ovei the shiny hardwood at the Proctor Recreation Center trying to polish his various shots at the basket. He's a great believer in the more practice, the better his chances of being a star Orphanage basketball player. lo his strong favor is the fact that he is a lover of the sport, is easy to get along with, is a “team man” arid is continuously growing so he will be a potent force under the boards. . In 12 games he has tallied 91 for the Red Birds this season, an Austin Ayscue coached squad with a won-loss record- of 5-7. Tommy says that in spite of 7.7 point average per game “I don’t have all the confidence I need as far as shooting is concerned. It gives me a big boost to make a goal but I frown too much when I miss.” I Tommy will probably keep miss ing a few but the more experience he gets he’ll be missing fewer shots perhaps for when he ascends to more stable, less hectic varsity play he’ll be for one thing a bit more careful about the shots ne takes. | In the two or three years to come, watch for the name “Tommy Gause” in Orphanage basketball circles.
