Claims Victory
In Basket Fun
If there were any gags that
weren't pulled by either side
in Thursday night's annual
Faculty - Lettermen's club
"basketball" game at Willam
ette, it was because the fertile
brains of the participants had
overlooked them.
The show set an all-time
high in the laugh production
department, with the heartiest
guffaws originating among the
faculty because they won. At
least that was their claim Fri
day forenoon.
At one stage of the produc
tion the lights went out and
when illumination returned
the score stood something like
"57 to 9" for the Lettermen.
However, largely due to the
efforts of Johnny Lewis and
Jim Johnson the teachers
emerged victorious.
A portable oxygen outfit
was given some credit in giv
ing the faculty the lion's share
of the score.

Frank Lane, general manager
of the Chicago White Sox, re

Steve Gromek loose from the
Cleveland Indians today.
Lane was turned down last
night when he proposed a
straight swap involving Gromek
and Howie Judson but said he
planned to "stick around a few
days and try again."
Both pitchers were disappoint
ments in 1949. Gromek, tabbed
a potential 20-game winner by
Bill Veeck in the spring, won
only four games. Judson, a 23-year-old
right-handed hard-ball-er
only two years removed from
class D ball, won his first start
of the season and then lost 14
straight.
