Some pretty good seats for the Friday , nighter are still available, but only a few. general admissions are left for the Satur day night fray. You can look for qtute a , hooking duel in both gameav same starring Houbregs of the Huskies and Tony Vlastel lca.of the Beavers who is turning out to be a terrific scoring threat irrjthe conference . . . Know any thing about shooting a crossbow? If so, and you're interested in this , medieval weapon for current-day sport, a move is now on to get the--Game Commish to consider a , Dedal deer season for crossbow hunters. One Frederick J. Oltmanns, is spearheading the move. He'd like all interested to write to him so that he would have sufficient evidence to present to. the Cornish dur ing its July public hearings . . . There's no Marlin Cole to run off with all the individual scoring Honors in we Marion uouniy is ieague this semester, but have you noticed the two private scoring feuds that have been going on week by" one is of course the one for the lead, featuring Mill City s Roy Chase and" Sublimity's Ron Ruef. They've been within a whisker of one another all during the season, and have swapped the league lead on four different occasions. To make it even more interesting, both are "little" basketeers, Chase standing 5-10 and Ruef 5-9. Then there's the St. Paul family argument involving ; the Smith brothers, George and Sam, who amount to the O'Brien act of the M-B League. They too have been as close a Scotchman's money belt throughout the season, are high among the loop's top scorers and have taken the lead over one another on two or three occasions. Sam is the bigger of the two at 5-10. George is a mighty mite at 5-6. and we imagine there are more than merely a few remarks cast to and fro at the Smith family dinner table these evenings. Prior to Friday's games. Chase had 191 points, Ruef 189, George Smith 141 and Brother Sam 140 . " - Bevo an Explosive Word Around Wooden Speaking of basketball seerers, here's a tale seeping from the southern extremity of the Coast Conference: Seems that John - Wooden, the UCLA mentor was in the market for an assistant coach last autumn. Among the applicants for the Job was Newt Oliver, an obscvre Ohio prep mentor who offered to bring along a "pretty fair 6-9. player" If he were hired. But he wasn't Oliver landed the head coaching Job at Rio Grande College In Ohio, and took his 6-9 player with him. The name of the kid? Clarence (Bevo) Francis, the one and same who Is making basketball scoring 'history, almost dally, and who earlier this season poured in 116 points ma single gai . Rather imagine that every time Wooden hears or sees the name Bevo he now screams, quite loudly ... When Kid Gavilan takes on the welterweight boxing crown, the Kid will be up against one of the most scholarly mittmen in the game's history. Another Gene Tunney, no less, and perhaps even a wiser head than that owned by the old heavyweight smartie. .'.
