Emerald critical comments can he efficiently handled by those brutal authors of Letters to the Editor. They have raised . the art to a new low, if adequate judgment can be based upon last Thursday s issue featuring the annihilation of some home coming committee chairmen, Dr. Means and the entire cast of “The Madwoman of Chaillot.” I best* daily massacres usually are the forerunners of nutner , otts chain reactions. * After some unsuspecting campus individual or organization is reduced to rubble by a bitter letter-writer, another mob of * person-piercing, pitter-patter-peddling penmen levels the siege guns upon the original critic. This can continue indefinitely. Hut that isn’t the reason for a gentle attitude by the sports department. Maybe it s just our lack of appreciation for un UMially close haircuts. .

Considering the fact that - lie was tangling with some extremely tough characters, it was indeed a close shave. This first year of the second half of the century might go down in athletic history as the year of shaves—eastern basket ball players shave point spreads; Huskies shave sports editors. Deadly Sport A new field is opening tip for radio sports announcers. It concerns recent developments in the arena of medical science. Dead men on the streets and dead women in bathtubs have been brought back to life on several recent occasions. Some times there has been considerable fluctuation in the situation— sort of a now-he’s-dead, now-he-isn't case. Some chaps can collect life insurance two or three times and still be around to spend it. The radio announcer’s new opportunities consist of the chance to broadcast these operations in football or baseball style. The fans would love it. Will the patient live or die? It’s dramatic, thrilling. It might even be described, without fear of contradiction, as a breath-taking matter of life and death. 1 lore's Red Stern describing1 the efforts to restore the life of a Mongolian drainpipe tester w ho was smothered in a carload of wool while attempting to get warm during a typical Siber ian heat wave. ‘‘The doctor's working over the body.

Three of the six games were en tered on the book* as forfeitures. McChesney hall, Minturn hall, and Campbell Club added wins to their tally eard the easy way, when ; their opponents failed to put in an appearance. Excellent teamwork and the hard spiking of Donnie Krieger made It possible too for Theta Chi to roll over Sigma Alpha Mu by the scores of 15-6 and 15-3. Hill Benson started Hunter hall off in the first game with Nestor hall by accumulating seven points on his serve. In the opening con test, the Hunter team was clicking with workmanlike precision to grind out a 15-1 win. But during the next game, they were missing Hoopsters Get Varied Exercises By Rick Tarr In Tuesday's practice at Mac Court, Coach Borcher drilled the varsity cagers in a little bit of everything. He plans to pick up loose ends today to get ready for Thursday's regular scrimmage with Warren Hardware. Things got started with full team drills under each basket. At one end Borcher worked on offense patterns while Don Kirsch con I centrated his teams on defense at the other end. This was followed by a drill designed to train the guards and one forward in the style of offense to be used against a man-to-man defense. This requires a loose, spread-out setup in which the guards keep up snappy passing or attempt a fake and drive under the basket. The center and one forward are apparently used as sleepers in this formation. During this lesson such things were stressed as always sav ing a dribble when possible, never holding the ball after the dribble The remainder of the session was taken up by a series of ten minute scrimmages. In each one a new combination of players was tried. The first one saw Dan Hendrick son, Dick Kofford, Jim Vranizan, A1 Murray, and Darrel Hawes go against Ken Hunt, Bob Peterson. Hank Bonneman, Ron Phillips, and Bud Covey. The latter aggregation came out on top as Hank Bonneman. six-foot seven-inch center dominated the backboards. Peterson and Covey sunk several good shots while Hendrickson and Murray sparked the losers. The other combinations went like this: Hugh Marxer, Howard Page, Larry Chamberlain, Bill Choat, and | Don Seigmund were against Bob Hawes, Mel Streeter, Doug Rogers, Chet Noe, and Ken Wegner. Bud Covey, Ken Hunt, Jim Vran izan, Jim Livesay, and Keith Far num were matched with Emery Barnes, Dick Nix, Dan Hendrick son, Ron Bottler, and Darrel Hawes. Ken Wegner, Ken Hunt, Boh Peterson, Chet Noe, and Mel Streeter played against Bud Covey, Jim Yranizan, Larry Chamberlain, Jim Livesay, and Keith Farnum. Chet Noe, Doug lingers, Hank Bonneman, Boh Hawes, and Ken Wegner faced Bon Phillips, Don Seigmund, l)iek liofford, Emery Barnes, and Bud Covey. A newcomer to the squad as of yesterday is Darrel Hawes, Bob’s older brother. The elder Hawes, a P.E. education major, turned in a good performance and is to have a two-week tryout period. their spikes, losing tneir serves, and leaving their position. It was only by the best of luck and the slim margin of 15-11 that they squeezed by Nestor. From first appearances the con test between Delta Tau Delta and I’hl Sigma Kappa looked like one of short duration, for the Delta accumulated 15 points while their adversaries pulled only two from the hat. However, the completion of the game changed after the teams switched sides. This time the !*hl Sigs ran the score up to 16-14 before they finally bowed out. McChesney hit the showers with out having to play their scheduled game when Gamma hall failed to put in an appearance. Sherry Ross was also unable to put a team j on the floor against Minturn hall, j The same thing took place in the Campbell Club-Cherney hall match ! with the Cambellites winning by default.
