The record book is straight now. Turner has taken care of ft. it. No more do the sports writers need- to argue whether ti 1 Northern Division scoring record is 187 as set by Wally r.drnberg or 191 as disputeuly set by Laddie Gale. All this is ( -ared up now. And while all the spectators filed out of McArthur court Tuesday night, muttering about the tall, gangling Vandal left hander who rang up 13 points, and about the broken glasses incident which came near to ruining his chances, jubilation reigned in the Idaho locker room. Hero-Worshippers Grab Autographs \ crowd of hero-worshipping high school and grand school lads were crowding around the very popular Turner thrusting 4 - icils and scraps of .paper into his hands asking for auto graphs. Turner was tired—not just from the game.but also from the. emotional load that had been removed from his shoulders. With a flock of quetions being- hurled bis way Turner bad one of his own to ask too: "How many points did I get anyway?" When told it was 13 and that he had a total of 192 he jnst Shrugged his shoulders, and scrawled out another lefthanded signature for some bright-eyed admirer. Gale came down in the locker room and flash bulbs flared os camera men grabbed pictures of the two. Turner stiMmcf th- number Id jersey on but changed-it for pictures'to the usual number 14 that was still flecked with blood. He and Gale Talk Trade He and Gale talked over the feelings felt by a player when t1- chance of breaking a record are in store. Turner said, ‘‘After the very first basket I felt like I’d do it. But those baskets were hard to get." Gale had a "I know how .you felt” ti- add to that. Somewhere over in a corner one of the players yelled to Turner, "I think I'll start shooting lefthanded. Turner didn't have much to say about breaking the record or records. When asked how he felt about it he said, "I don’t feel much different—I’m glad it’s over." Guy Wicks, stolid Idaho coach, came into the dressing room I” *. He walked over and warmly congratulated Turner and i n started muttering about the refereeing which, though ni.-ny might have missed it in their anxiety over Turner’s breaking the record, was somewhat rank. Wicks Wasn't Happy irks had expressed his feelings on the record business hh inlay night after Idaho dropped the first game to Oregon. i s ruined the ball club, lie said. "We haven’t been able 4■ ■ play basketball in the last lour games.’’ lie pointed out t 1 the fault didn't lay with the players. Turner tried to play I - usual game and the players tried not to feed him any more t ii usual hut crowds egged both Turner and mates on. Later when talking with Hobson Wicks admitted that it ms tough to try to coach a team with a potential record breaker on it—which Hobby could take with a sly grin. Hobby had the same thing for four years in a row; two .years with Gale, then John Dick and last year Vic Town solid.

It was obvious in ihc warmup session that Turner had a much better chance to turn the trick than he had the pre vfousfcnig-ht. He had loosened up.
