The lad, lads or other nincompoops who strung up the coach should have been the oneones dangling. ' It must take a really brilliant snind to sssault any human being ia such a manner. It's sickening to think that college students, wha are supposed to be learning .the (ways of wise ten, are vulnerable enough to be as sheep, following in the foolateps of others who have nothing better to do than make feels ef themselves. It seems that since such hangings became so big a part of the recent football season along the Pacific CoaU, students not satisfied with other than victories are now applying them selves to the fad of hanging the coach. They should be ashamed of themselves not only at Monmouth, but at every other school at which such a disgraceful procedure has occured. We are got standing oa Livingston's side alone, evea though we believe him to be one of the nicest guys we've ever known la athletics, sad one of- the most conscientious coaches we've , been ia conUct with. We stand with every coach la athletics, be they collegia te or high school. They wouldn't be coaching If they weren't qualified for their Jobs, and they wouldn't have those jobs if their superiors in educational ranks dlda'l believe theaa to be qualified. Lhing$lon Hag Dttnr Fine, ' The guilty party at Monmouth, must, '.be someone who doesn't realize what a fine all-around job Livingston has done at the Institution: since taking over as athletic director there. Compare OCE athletics in general today with those of a few years ago and you'll quickly see just what we mean. OCE is no, longer a imaU, insignificant school over in the wilds of Polk County, a term applied to it not too long ago. Instead, OCE is now a solid member of the NCAA and has nothing in its athletic makeup to be ashamed of. Fine facilities are there for students, thanks largely to Livingston's efforts, and competent men are doing the coachine. If the belly-achers of OCE want to da something construct- . Ive for basketball at the school, why don't they go out and get some Grade A 1 material for Livingston to coach. There is the resl reason for the poor record la OCE basketball. " Also, if students of OCE want to tell vis of their gripes, we suggest iney De men enougn to sign the articles they mail to us. We never have thought much of a sneak who writes a complaint and signs it "An Interested Fan" . . " Doby Tries On New Chisox Uniform - ! 45psssfcsji. , 7rv !

Texas' Tech. an applicant for 21 years, failed in another bid for member ship in the Southwest Conference Saturday but lacked only one vote of making It. Willie May Grid Oddities Filled Season Lione Ticket Buyer At WSC Among Best Br HUGH Ft'LLERTON JR. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS An Iowa player clipped one of his teammates and the other team was penalised for it; West Vir ginia "kicked" ah extra point when there were no goal posts; a Texas Christian player went to kick off and missed the ball entirely: a third-string I'CLA fullback was called out of the stands to play in a game and a Colgate player ran 50 yards (or more) to scort a point after touchdown. Those were some of the odd hap penings of an odd football season listed by sports writers and broad casters in reply to The Associated Press post-season questionnaire. But the oddest ot all, they de cided by the slim margin of a single vote, was the referee's "loss"oi "two downs that may have cost Bucknell a victory over Harvard. WSC Faa Draws Vote This incident drew eight votes from a total of 159 ballots. Seven each went to the missing goal posts at the Pitt-West Virginia game and to the lone fan who bought a grandstand ticket for Ibe snow and icebound San Jose State Washington State game. The Bucknell Harvard game, Oct. 29, ended in a 26-26 tie a sur prising result in itself. With 4 min utes to- go, Bucknell had the ball on Harvard's 37 with first down. A pitchout was fumbled and a wild scramble for the ball ensued. Referee Charles Bridey saw the ball in the arms of Harvard end Bob Morrison, gave a signal .ind the sticks were moved to show first and 10 for Harvard on the 40. Field Judge Alden Hewitt, how ever, said he had whistled the ball dead while Bucknell s Dick Mc Cartney still held it, so it was re turned to the Bisons. But the sticks weren't moved again and when the next play began the ref called "fourth and 10." Bucknell couldn't make the 10. Na Eiplaaation No one yet has explained how the mixup happened or why there wasn't a ringing protest from Buck nell players and coaches. Said Ref eree Bridey: "We just made a mistake." An official's error also was re sponsible for the penalty mixup in the Iowa-UCLA game an error that wasn't discovered until a couple of days later. A long UCLA touchdown run was called back when the official called clipping on "No. S2" and the Bruins were penalized 15 yards. Later someone realized that no UCLA player was wearing No. 52 that night and a review of films showed the offender was Iowa center Norman Six. . Missing Goalposts The missing goalposts at Pitts burgh were no mystery. Pitt s Panthers were in the process of iinullintf nr..'U,,.lu .ink..!.. W. Virginia and the excited fans .couldn't wait until the finish to tear down the timbers. Then on the last play-actually after time had run out because there was a penalty on the "last , play and other had to be granted West Virginia scored a touchdown. It was impossible to kick the point because the posts were gone. Pitt and the officials just conceded" it. Vandals Triumph Over Utah State MOSCOW, Idaho OH - The Idaho Vaadals, trailing most of the game closed with a rush for a -76-71 win over Utah State. Idaho's victory, its first of the season, came after the Aggies lost their principal backboard strength in the person of center Joe Lockyer on personal fouls. After Lockyer left the game, Ida ho put through 14 points while holding the visitors scoreless. The Aggies managed to close the gap in a hectic final 30 seconds of play, but just had too far to no. Idaho's big sophomore center Bob Gould got 22 points for the winners, but Aggie forward fed Smith was high for the game with 24. Gould got most of his points on rebounds but surprised the crowd a few times with an accurate two hands shot from far out.
