Webfoots to Battle 'Improving' Vandals By CRAIG MrEWEN Sports Co-Editor “If the VVebfoots can split against Joe Cipriano's scrappy Vandals they'll be doing as well as expected." This is the word from basketball exDerts after watching both teams in the Far West Classic, though the two never met. They will meet for the first time Friday and Satur day nights. Admittedly the Wehfoot hoop aters didn’t play up to their po tential in the Portland classic. At the same time. Idaho looked like they were in mid-season form in their final game against Ari zona State University, the team that toppled them in the last two minutes after the two had continually shared the lead while shooting around the .450 percent age mark. A.S.U. was the same team that frustrated the Ducks in their first game, winning behind flashy guard, Larry Armstrong, Most Valuable Player in the tourna ment. The Ducks lost 54-53 to the Sun Devils after beating them by 18 paints early in December. Despite criticism about Web foot play early in the classic, they definitely did display their peren nially tough defense, and in their finale against Portland U. they split the net with a respectable shooting average—in the high .300's. Leon Hayes showed that he might be the back court man that will make others catch fire. His quick hands deflect many passes, his defensive hustle is scrappy, and his long one-handed setter looks pretty enough to fall through with more and more consistency. This could be the key to success. CHARLEY WARREN, voted to the Far West Classic All-Star five for the second time, is hold ing up the scoring end of the squad with an 18 point average, as expected. Glenn Moore is doing most of the rebounding and may be not enough shooting, and Bill Simmons pulls them off the back boards more and more, but Ida ho's Vandals will be tough all the way. IDAHO'S THIRD COACH in three years, Joe Cipriano, former Washington backcourt whiz, has a young team with much height and much speed, though probably little depth. Ken Maren, 6-7 cen ter, is a junior with a beautiful hook shot. Senior Rollie Williams, 6-4 forward, scored 11.2 points a game last year, and carries 220 pounds to help his rebound ing prowess. And Reg Carolan. the speedy 6-6 end who was drafted by the Rams, is strong under the boards and is expected to improve with experience. Some talented sophomores dis played additional potential in the Far West Classic, and threaten to (Continued on page 7) WILLAMETTE PASS SKI AREA 70 Miles from Eugene on Highway 58.

Of course, when it comes to Figure l’s, 1W51, though distinguished, can hardly compare with 1911, which, most people agree, had not just two, but three Figure l’s! This, I'll wager, is a record that will stand for at least two hundred years! 1911 was, incidentally, notable for many other things. It was, for example, the year in which the New Virk (liants played the Philadelphia Athletics in the World Series. As we all know, the New York Giants have since moved to Han Francisco and the Philadelphia Athletics to Kansas City. Tliere is a movement afoot at present to move Chicago to Phoenix —the city, not the baseball team. Phoenix, in turn, would of course move to Chicago. It is felt that the change would Is* broadening for residents of both cities. Many Chicago folks, for example, have never seen an iguana. Many Phoenix folks, on the other hand, have never seen a frostbite. There are, of course, certain difficulties attending a munieijwl shift of this size. For instance, to move Chicago you also have to move I -ake Michigan. This, in itself, presents no great prob lem, what with modem scientific advances like electronics and the French cuff. But if you will look at your map, you will find that Lake Micliigan is connect'd to all the other Great Lakes, which in turn are connected to the St. 1-awrencc Seaway, which W CL&7/?^ in turn is connected to the Atlantic Ocean. You start dragging Lake Michigan to Phoenix and, willy-nilly, you’ll be dragging all that other stuff too. This would make our British allies terribly cross, and I can’t say as I blame them. I mean, put yourself in their place. What if, for example, you were a British workingman who had been saving and scrimping all year for a summer holiday at Brighton Beach, and then when you got to Brighton Beach there wasn't any oceanl There you’d be with your inner tube and snorkel and nothing to do all day but dance the Lambeth Walk. This, you may l>e sure, would not make you NATO-minded I I appeal most earnestly to the residents of Chicago and Phoenix to reconsider. I know it’s no bowl of cherries going through life without ever seeing an iguana or a frostbite, but I ask you—Chicagoans, Phoenicians—is it too big a price to pay for preserving the unity of the free world? I am sure that if you search your hearts you will make the right decision, for all of us—whether we live in frostbitten Chicago, iguuna-ridden Phoenix, or narrow-lapelled New Haven—are first and foremost Americans! But I digress. We were speaking of 1901, our new year. And new it is I There is, for one thing, new pleasure in Marlboro Cigarettes. How can there l>e new pleasure in Marlboros when that fine, flavorful blend, that clean easy draw filter, have not l>een altered? The answer is simple: each time you light a Marlboro, it is like the first time. The flavor is such that age cannot wither nor custom stale. Marlboro never palls, never jades, never dwindles into dull routine. Each pack, each cigarette, each puff, makes you glad all over again that you are a Marl boro-smoker! So, Marlboros in hand, let us march confidently into 1901. May good fortune attend our ventures! May happiness reign! May Chicago and Phoenix soon recover from their disappoint ment and join our bright cavalcade into a brave tomorrow! <D 1901 Mas Hhulmau The makers of Marlboro and of the new unfiltered king-size Philip Morris Commander join Old Max in adding their good wishes for a happy and peaceful 1961.
