From the Hands of Big Ben
TALE OF
TWO CITIES'
By BEN KALB
Of the Emerald
SEATTLE—Every so often one is liable to read about
the world records someone established in a sport, or a spotlight
exclusive on the star athlete of the year, or other assorted trivia,
but very rarely will a story be presented on the “behind the scenes”
of a team in the midst of a crucial road trip.
So. ladies and gentlemen here it is, the story you're all waiting
for—an on the scene account of a varsity road journey OR Travels
With Coach Dick Smith and his Gymnasts.
Let us begin at a natural place—the beginning. We were sup
posed to depart last Thursday at 1:10. At 1:22 Wayne Noecker,
star of stage, screen, and talking in his sleep, arrived on the scene
and proclaimed to the world he was here. We left.
One now begins to wonder what kind of conversation can go
during a long trip to Washington and Canada. Well, besides the
blond driving the red MG, it could have got pretty dull. But.
there was Dave Telling, Captain of the team, who spent one full
state promoting his “fine set of hemorrhoids.”
Our next moment of glory occurred in a restaurant outside of
Tacoma. A budget of S2.50 per man was allocated, and Brad Hunt
er. Eugene’s gift to the parallel bars, decided to spend his sum
wisely. So he sat down and calmly addressed the waitress, “How
many Pie A-la-modes can I get for $2.50?”
Vancouver. B.C., was the first night's stop, and one of
the greatest things that can be said for this city is that never have
so many girls been seen hitching at one time. But after seeing
this, one begins to wonder how primitive the city really is. One
hotel had two distinct and separate entrances, marked Males only
and Ladies and Escorts only.
Our next move was to cheek into our hotel, and i decided to
catch up on some Lit. “Life is a tale, told by an idiot, full of
sound and fury, and signifying nothing."—Re enter Wayne Noecker.
Noecker got restless between commercials of "Attack of the
Giant Leeches,” and started a pillow fight with Jim Pittman.
Wayne lost.
Saturday came the big gym meet at UBC, which the Ducks won.
Unique can be the adjective describing this contest, because I
promise that all 13 spectators will never see another one to
parallel it.
During the competition, the Simon Fraser Girls Basketball
giants were warming up for their big rival clash with the British
Columbia cage wizards, the University of Alberta women’s gym
team were working out to the music of Deep in the Heart of
Texas, and the Blue Danube, among others, and the floor was
so bouncy the free-X squad didn't need mats.
We then headed for Seattle, that is after Dave Olson,
showed everybody his valentine underwear. Jim Lambert, who
led the team in consumption of red licorice, pulled out his tape
recorder and taped the snoring of sophomore Dave Manock. Jim
-Hampton, cheated at 20 questions, when he pulled the name
Typhoid .Mary, and Bob Leach was cracking jokes from the
front of the driver’s seat.
Seattle welcomed us with open arms. Thousands were waiting
to greet us at the airport, autograph seekers were lined up right
and left—but not looking for any glory, we avoided them by
cautiously driving into our motel.
The Space Needle was next on the agenda for a few members
of the group, and then came the big meet. The powerful Web
foots, who finished their dual season with a 7-3 mark, defeated
Alberta for the second straight night, but lost to high-ranked
Washington.
Heading for home, one car of the caravan of three detached
itself from the rest of the pack. Fifty miles later, and with no one
the wiser, the group was intact, and listening to UCLA cream
the Basketball Ducks.
Everyone seemed tired yet pleased, after all they had just won
their letter. And they still called each other by nicknames known
as “Hang loose terms.”
The cast of characters were (not necessarily in order of their
appearance) Vulture, Big Red, Noah, Little Tweet, Ralph Cramden,
Paul Bunyan, Roland, whose mother is a great cook, Nip, Rusty,
Carl, Leopard, Hawk, Fox, and the Coach.
