Bill Kinner Is Named Utah's Outstanding Scholastic Center Ogden Athlete Is Honored; Boosters Award New Trophy Presentation Is Made By Karl Hopkins At Spec¬ial Assembly Bill Kinner, elong'ated center of the Ogden High basketball team of 1932, Utah state champions and Rocky Mountain champions, was presented with a gold watch at a special assembly at Ogden High today. The award came as a dis¬tinct surprise to students and the all-state and all- Inter mountain pivot performer. Some weeks ago Salt Lake fans urged Al Warden, sports editor of The Ogden Stand¬ard - Examiner, and Les Goates, sports editor of the Deseret News Bill Kinner to conduct a poll and to name the! outstanding scholastic center of all time. Fourteen officials and coaches, to¬gether with the two writers, figured in the voting. Of the sixteen votes, twelve named Kinner as the great¬est scholastic center of all time in Utah basketball. The admirers of Kinner purchased the watch, a handsome 17-jewel Howard, and invited W. Karl Hop-kins, superintendent of the Ogden City schools to make the presenta¬tion. Goates and Warden constitute the all-state basketball board. They have served in this capacity in Utah for the past 15 years. Kinner obtained his early scholas¬tic athletic training at Central Ju¬nior High and played two seasons at center for Ogden. PRAISE KINNER "Bill Kinner is without question one of the greatest high school cen¬ters ever developed in the United States," said Dick Romney, director of athletics at Utah State. George Ottinger Romney, coach at B. Y. U., had this to say about Kinner: "The Ogden athlete, Bill Kinner, deserves to be ranked with Frank Ward, Cat Thompson and other greats of the basketball world. In scholastic play I don't believe Kin¬ner has ever had a peer in Utah." Vadal Peterson and Ike Arm¬strong, coaches at Utah university, offered similar tributes to the fine ability of Kinner. HOPKINS SERVES The watch, suitably engraved, was purchased by basketball boosters of Ogden and Salt Lake City and is the first award of such nature ever presented in Utah's athletic history. "I feel honored in making such a unique presentation," said W. Karl Hopkins, superintendent of the Og¬den city schools today. "The award comes as a reward for Unusual basketball ability and I am pleased to know that we have such marvelous sportsmen in Utah to recognize one of our students. "Bill Kinner 'truly is Utah's greatest scholastic basketball center. He proved his mettle in two years of performance for Ogden and won all-state and all-Intermountain hon¬ors during 1932. "I want to extend my sincere congratulations to Kinner and also to those fine sportsmen who have made this award possible." Kinner is the son of Mr. and Mrs. William A. Kinner of Ogden. He is undecided as to just where he will continue his career. There is a pos¬sibility that he may attend Prince¬ton next year. Students of O. H. S.

Good, clean, i wholesome fun does one almost as I much good as an instructive sermon, i How warped one's life can become 1 if one must have his fun at the ex- 1 pense of others. If the only kind of fun that individual enjoys is inde- cent, then soon he will be unable to ever enjoy even his type of fun.

Every hobby n, imaginable was represented last as Friday in Mrs. Wade's room, 205, n. and we are sure, too, that if Mrs. le Wade had wanted to become a millionaire, she could have auctioned of off all the old masterpieces her e- dutiful students had drawn, to There were several outstanding et projects which merited special no- e- tice. One was the scene In King Henry's court. King Henry and his noblemen were represented by in¬tricate glass dolls, dressed in the costumes of the period. Another project consisted of a small doll seated upon a minature donkey. Oh! Can't you guess? Of course, it was Robert Louis Stevenson's "Tra¬vels With a Donkey." Another un¬usual project was that of Japanese fencing costume. A newspaper of chronicle signifi¬cant of the times of King Henry V was the project of the entire first hour and of the fourth hour classes. Both the titles and headlines were printed in beautiful Old English style. The death of Queen Elizabeth and the account of Sr Raleigh being on fire made up the readlines and the main articles. This project showed work and extreme care. It iwas indicative of the perfect res- 'ponse of the class. If you missed room 205 in your Friday jaunt you have missed one of the best rooms in the building, one of the most interesting as well as the most educational. June Bradley
