HEADS NATIONAL TEAM Pint-Size Coach Has Tall Basketball Mark By DON ANGUS WOLFVILLE, N.S. (CP) -- Acadia University has a bas- ketball court under regulation size and a coach who can harlly reach the basket on a steplad- der. sary. The Axemen are the No. 1 college basketball team in Canada and Stuart W. Aberdeen is the big reason. It's a fact that was recognized with his selection this week as coach of the national team which will tour Central and South America next month. A native of Lewiston, N.Y., who stands five-foot-six, Aber- deen accepted the job as bas- ketball and soccer coach, assist- ant athletic director and assocl- ate professor of physical educa- tlon at Acadia seven years ago when he was just 22. Fresh out of Massachusetts' id College with a mas- ter's degree in phys ed, Aber- deen seemed an unlikely pros- pect to stir up basketball mad- ness on Acadia's quiet campus in the picturesque Annapolis Valley, or to lead the Axemen ' out of a 26-year championship famine. But the doubters didn't reckon But no apologies are neces- In Aberdeen's seven years the Axemen have won five consec- utive league championships, /four Maritime titles and have represented the Atlantic univer- sities three straight years in the Canadian finals. They have compiled a three-year record of 34 wins and two losses. After the gruelling decision over Windsor in Halifax in March, the tired Acadia coach gat perspiring in the dressing room and remarked: "Pretty good for a team that THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thuredey, Mey 13,1965 1] Aberdeen's policy of importing Americans. The coach himself explains why--recruiting is easier in the United States. He spent three summers at Clair Bees's Camp All - America at Cornall-on- Hudson, N.Y., and did much of his recruiting there. His pitch to young Americans is the opportunity for a good education, low tuition fees and a chance to play a good brand of basketball and compete on the national level as well as in exhibition games against top Canadian and U.S. talent. As a result, he has been able to develop a recruiting program iwithout basketball scholarships.

EASTERN GARTER SNAKE (Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis) This cofnmon, usually friendly enake is the first to appear in the spring and the last to go into hibernation in the fall. It is a moderately slender snake that may reach a length of 30 or 40 inches when full-grown. How- ever, Ontario can boast of the longest garter snake recorded to date -- a specimen measuring 54 inches found not too many years ago near Richmond Hill, Ontario! Garter snakes are variable in color, The ground color may be black, brown or olive with three yellowish, orange or reddish stripes.
