Despite Oregon’n tinfortitnatc 35 6 loss to Boston U. last

1 ever it is.
Emerald critical comments can he efficiently handled by
those brutal authors of Letters to the Editor. They have raised

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

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

indeed a close shave.
This first year of the second half of the century might go

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.

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.

yesterday is Darrel Hawes, Bob’s
older brother. The elder Hawes, a

good performance and is to have

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
