French Powerhouse Rolls On
In intramural “A” basketball ac
tion on Tuesday, four games were
played, while two were forfeited.
French Hall rolled to an easy 54
to 23 victory over a hard fighting,
but completely outclassed Stitzer
team. The Stitzerites kept the
game fairly close in the first half
as they trailed only 19 to 22, at the
midway point, but in the second
half the Frenchmen began to hit
and won going away.

for high point honors. Following
Lewis in the scoring column were
Highlander with 9, Pavlat 7, John
son and Ross 7 each, and Barker

While the Pirates neared the 20

whacked twice by Washington.
The Cougars have four wins.
LaSalle Second
In the battle for second, LaSalle
took over following a 79-52 deci
sion over St. Joseph's of Philadel

from third, now own a 15-2 record,
both defeats coming at the hands
of DePaul.

the first game of their pair with
Washington State.
Last season the Webfoots were
able to collect three wins in four
outings against the Oregon Staters.
In a preseason contest played in
Portland the Beavers nabbed an
overtime victory. Both teams are
desperately in need of the triumph

conference with Idaho. The Oregon
five now holds a slim margin over
the other two.
Friday night’s encounter is
scheduled for McArthur Court, and
the return engagement Saturday
will be at Gill Coliseum in Corval

be out for blood'and there is every
indication that the pair will be
evenly matched.

pressing close octnmi is Kansas
State (9-2). The Wildcats regain
ed their stride nnd clawed out a
94-85 margin over Missouri to stay
ahead of Indiana’s Hooaiers. The
Hoosiers, who advanced from 12th

have been beaten only by Kansas
State and Notre Dame and cur
rently lead the pack in the rough
Big Ten conference. They have the
same 9-2 card as Kansas State, but
are 8-0 in league play.

(Continued from par/c one)
personalities that appeared in the
19.r»2 Olympics. Particularly out
standing, according to Hamilton,
was Emil Zatopek of Czechoslo
vakia, who won three running
events. Hamilton said that the
runner ran as if "the next, lap
would be his last." Hamilton also
gave Zatopek’s secret of running:
"Run until you get tired and then
lean forward and run faster.”
Hamilton also described the
games as "a breath of fresh air"
in a troubled world and held out
the hope that the games would
have an influence in bringing or
