Dialetics: The saying may he moss-cover ed, but the wheels of fortune still turn. Three years ago Comedian Boh Burns, of bazooka fame, was un known. Lew Ayers was a famous screen star. Ben Alexander was also known to screen fans, hut no star. The three of them journeyed to Chicago for the Worlds Fair. At the door of the Adler I'lanetarium, Burns and Alexander had to light ^ off the crowds so Hint Ayers could enter. Yesterday the trio visited the Griffith Farit I’lanetarium in Hot- j lywood. Two of them had to fight off the crowds so that the third might enter. But it wasn't around Ayers that the. crowd clustered. It was around Boh Burns, just another Worlds Fair \isitor in 1933 and today, one ol America's top radio comedians. It was Ben Alexander, who told the story. He is now an NBC com mentator. "In three years,” Burns told him, "it will be your turn, Ben, if we can find another planetarium.” Which reminds us that the desk has a habit of cutting us down when we run too long. . . . Goom bye.

The lady about to he carved is Hilly Davis, with Queen Jean Scott looking on. It’s nil in fun, however, in the spirit of the “Barbaric Oceania.” First and Second (Continued from pane three) extra points were needed. He was particularly outstanding under the baskets. The guards presented a problem. There were really a number of good ball hawking men in the lea gue. Jay Graybeal, ATO, was not only a good defensive man, but his speed and shooting eye gave him a decided advantage on offense. Bill Crosbie, I’hi Delt, one of the small est men in the league, led all scor ers, according to unofficial figures. He is cagy, fast, an excellent checker, nnd ever dangerous with the ball. Strong Second The second team is probably every bit as good as the first. At towards, Wilson Seigmund, team led with Anderson, was probably I the whole Beta outfit. He followed j hard and never quit playing until the final whistle. Stu Marsee, Abba Dabbn, was another high scorer but he wasn't the best team man in the circui* The fact remains, though, that he kept his team in the running on several occasions. Ed Strohecker, the giant Phi Delt center, who was on last year’s all-star first team, didn't flash the form he is capable of, but was far in advance of other league centers. Iluyaslii Consist cnl Tommy Hayashi, Abba Dabba, was a consistent performer in every contest, and his superior checking kept his team on the top. He was never a high scorer in any contest but definitely a money player. Jake Fisher, Yeomen, was prob ably the most finished performer in either league, but, playing with an inferior outfit, he wasn't able to make the hadlines with any thrilling action. He is an accurate howitzer artist. All in all, there isn't much to choose between the first two out fits. All are experienced men and capable ball handlers. There were many other fine players but, as was said, you can't have your cake and eat it. It Longue Strong The B league of this year was exceptionally strong. In many in stances houses had B teams that were considerably stronger than their A entries. At forwards are Ed O’Reilly, SAE, and Bill Regan, Phi Delt. Both played consistent ball in all their contests sparking many games. Regan is a very consistent shot and a sure checker. The giant Cliff Morris, SPE, gained the center position. For such a large man Morris handled himself beautifully and was one of the main reasons this outfit got as far as it did. He is an excellent follower-upper and a mountain on defense. Anderson Is Sparkplug Don Anderson, ATO, while not playing guard position during the season, was a sparkplug in the ATO di'ive to the championship. He is a smoothie with the casaba, and a hard man to dislodge under the basket. Nello Giovanni, SPE, is the rug ged type of ball player. When Gio vanni starts down the floor the opposition braces itself for a tough afternoon. He is a good shot and the inspirational type of player. On the second team Harold Wes ton, ATO, copped one forward post. Although handicapped by having to wear a “bird cage" to protect his glasses, Weston sparkled in every contest. Dynamic Amato Ralph Amato, Sigma Chi, was a good example of the dynamite that comes in small packages. He flips in a basketball with the same ease as he throws the horse hide on the ball field. The varsity shot-putter, Bill Foskett, of the Chi Psis, had an accurate eye. Game after game he was the high scorer in his con tests, although playing with a weak team. Bob Arnoldus, SAE, and Jerry Kestly, Beta, at the guards, give the team a pair of hard checkers and good team men. So that’s the works. If you did n’t make it, try again next year. But if you did make it, don’t for get this is only the opinion of a few guys and don’t let it bother you. Pressure of (Continued horn page one) distinctions, especially when they must make a certain grade aver age before being initiated into their fraternity? I have had one parent try to get me to change a grade in order that his daughter could “get by." It is not unknown to have athletic administrators bring pres sure to bear upon professors to get some weak-headed athlete over the scholastic hurdles. System Needs Change The only way I see to cure these evils is to change the system. It is much too difficult to try to change human nature. These are not general indict ments of all parents or of all busi ness practices, but we do know that some people will take any advantage they can of their com petitors. To deny the existence of these things is to reveal ignorance of much that goes on in the world.

Shy Comet Tutor (Continued 1rom pn;/e three) the handball team, with strong possibilities of developing into an all-star volleyballist. as well,” went on Head Man Casciato. ‘‘But there is a flaw in our pres ent system of intramural basket ball play which I will endeavor to eradicate by next season,” charged Casciato. “I propose to campaign for a handicap system, which will give all other teams an even break when meeting the Comets by al lowing all points scored by these other teams during the rest per iods, between quarters and halves, to count in the final total. Then the Comets will not emerge victor iqus by such overwhelming scores as they did during the last season i—which did make the other teams look woefully weak, I am afraid.” Casciato expressed his dis appointment over the handball and volleyball schedules which he re ceived this year. ‘‘I had expected both my squads to be relieved of the boredom of! preliminary games by being con ceded positions in the champion- i ship flights,” concluded the genial j leader of Comet destinies.
