Darwin, as a member of the famoua House of David baaketball team from Benton Harbor, Michigan, traveled some 38,000 miles during the past basketball aeason. He played in more than 100 cities, villagea and hamleta on the trip. Only five men made up the aquad and every member played every minute of 122 basketball games. Added to this remarkable physical demonstration the team won 111 games and lost 11. The team played aa many as 11 games in one week. The bearded idea is an old custom of the House of David. Ehorn, by the way, is not a member of this colony but merely played basketball with a team under the name of this widely &nown institution. The young Richmond lad, who stands 6 feet 4 Inches and weighs ISO pounds whiskers and all, is a graduate of the Richmond high school where several years ago he was somewhat of a sensation in county high echool competition. Ehorn's ability earned him a tryout with Oshkosh, the club which won the professional league title last season. Oshkosh informed Ehorn he needed more experience. He plans to try out again next season with Oshkosh although he has been tendered a neat contract with the House of David crew. We . are told that Ehorn's first act following the close of play-with the House of David was to visit a barber ahop where his order was a shave and a hair cut, or may we say a hair cut and let it go at that ,• ** V-..
