Phi Delta Theta Tips
Fijis in Close Game
The la^t game of the ‘TV’ league semi-final basketball chain;
pionship was played Wednesday afternoon and it saw 1 In
J)elta Theta take a 25 to 22 decision.from Phi (.amnia Delta.
The Fijis drew first' blood when bred Muller sank a driving
lav-in seconds after the opening tip-off. loom then on during
the first halt it was an All-Fiji show. Alter Muller niitia
♦,11,-Let 1km Reed hit on a jump shot from the key to make it
4 to 0. Then the Phi Pelts, whc
had not been playing very heads
up ball, managed to click for twc
points when Dick Garret swipec
the pill from one of the Fijis anc
raced downcourt by himself tc
tally the winners' first points o1
the game.
Fiji’s Take Lead
The story began to change ir
the second stanza when Dan Hend
rickson hit from the field anc
Gene Lewis connected on a free
throw to bring the score to 11 to f
in favor of the Fijis. Seconds latei
after a Fiji time out. A1 Wherry
swished a long two-hander to tie
it all up.
As things turned out the Fijis
never regained the lead that they
tost with that long set. but rather
ftad a tough time keeping pace
with the now ‘Red Hof Phi Delta.
There were several outstanding
features of Wednesday's game.
One was the proficiency with
which both squads hnndled the
ball. Gene Lewis and his Phi Delt
buddies worked a very effective
zone cracker on the Fijis part of
the game, while the Fijis em
ployed a tried and tested three
man weave. As can be seen by the
score, the losers had complete
domination of the backboards dur
ing the first half. Mike Lally, 6'
5" tall, accounted for most of the

necting on a large percentage of
its shots while the boys from Phi
Delta Theta just couldn't manage
to hit the hoop.

An Expert
Yosh Terada Top
Medley Swimmer
By Ron Ricketts
put Yosh Terada’s namf on the
li.st of the nation's top competitors
in the individual medley. His 1:38.7
recorded la.st week against Wash
ington Stute is one of the best
times turned in this year.
The fans will get a chance to see
this ace show his stuff ngainst
real competition when the Wash
ington Huskies' Peter Salmon, last
year’s national champ In the med
ley, comes here on Februarj 22nd,
If Yosh perform* as he has done
so fur this seuson. Mr. Salmon had
better watch out!
Yosh was practically brought up
in the water. His home in Hilo,
Hawaii is just a few yards from a
rixer and also close to the ocean!
Swimming was naturnl for him
but. surprisingly enough. h<* didn’t
do any swimming on an organized,
competitive basis until his fresh
man year in high school.
His first competitive swimming
was under club s|H)nsorship, since
his school did not have a team.
Kven then he swam in only one
meet a year, and did not have a
full season of swimming until he
entered the University of Hawaii,
(lives llrothrr Credit
He gives credit to his brother,
Walter, for starting his swimming
career. Walter belonged to the
Wniloa Swimming Club and he
brought Yosh to the club. There he
began to learn the finer points of
swimming under coach Raymond
Sekido. From this start gradually
improved under the tutorship of
Charles Kawamoto, and then under
coach Sakamoto at the University
of Hawaii.
Yosh was parteularly interested
In architecture when he entered
the university, and that was one of
the reasons why he transferred to
Oregon. He has changed his mujor
to education since then, however,
and will teach either art or physi
cal education after he graduates,
There are quite a few swimming
marks Yosh holds that are worthy
of note. While competing in the
Hawaii AAU meet in 1950 he won
the 300-yard individual medley and
established a new record in that
event. He also swam on the record
breaking, 300-yard medley relay
team in the same meet. That sum
mer he went to the National AAU
meet in Seattle. There he placed
fourth in the 300 individual med
ley, which was something of an
accomplishment considering his
age and experience.
.Swimming is Yosh's rnnin forte,
hut he likes to watch other ath
letic events. He played a little
softball in high school and wanted
to go out for football, but his
mother vetoed this idea!
Yosh has one more year of eligi
bility, so we'll be hearing and see
ing lot of this aqueduck star.
The National NCAA and AAU
swimming meets should be seeing
a lot of him too!
