Make Basketball, Not Love

bball kiss

even though basketball is supposed to be a non-contact sport, Tom Zeimantz, #13 of the University of Hawaii at Hilo seems to be the recipient of a mid-game kiss from Dan Masariu, #22, of Franklin College, Indiana. Masariu was diving for the ball when he landed on Zeimantz. The match was during his first round, of the NAIA 41st Annual National Basketball Tournament. Hawaii won 76-74 advancing to the second round

sh!t creeps me out, and yet it’s oddly beautiful

+ this bonus oil derrick foto!

The towering oil wells of Long Beach Harbor region are reflected in high tide waters pushing over a nine-block area today. Among the 12 families that were evacuated from the stricken neighborhood were two expectant mothers. Lifeguards turned them over to the Red Cross for care. Another 30 families floated their belongings out of inundated section. photograph dated – July 19, 1951
