RESOLUTIONS If it weren’t for the press and radio trying to find something to write about at year’s end the ii Vi breaking uituaiiift of ui resolu- ivm/iu- making a and tions would be a small problem as one year closes and another begins. If a citizen feels that some of his habits are getting a little too over powering and need modera tion he can decide to curtail them at any time. Waiting until the start of a new year would lx? non sense. He might not feel the same by then In other words we think it puts too great a burden on the first of the year to assume that It is the only proper day for the start of reformation. We have heard it said that the occasional excesses of the holiday season make Jan- uary first a day when the spirit is more receptive to reformation than other days. The flesh Is sometimes craving reform as well according to some accounts. The first of the year might bet ter tie a day of planning for a bet ter year. m e J « -« » IV U O O M IIIV lliu v AV SO »M V suurm ».« 2^ B. Robertson To J q P(JA A.

Result Mo. 1 — Players are able to throw up hotter defenses because they are well in formed on oach rival's capabllitie». Result No. 2 — Coaches, realizing this situ ation. often spend much time the week before the series in getting ready to stop the pot shot of Joe Whoosis. In fact, there have been Instances of carry- lng this defense to the ridiculous. One such example occurred in an Oregon-Oregon State game last season. ..... . , *»,_ Slats Gill’s towering Beavers, with 7 3' Swede Halbrook in the post, were using a zone defense against the smaller, quicker Web- foots. They steadfastly refused to come out to meet the Oregon guards, so Captain Barney Holland parked the ball on his hip and froze — for four full minutes. . Not a man stlrrod during this time and the only movement was Captain Holland moving the ball occasionally from hip lo H Ip The fans — in the Duck's home court — thought It was hilar ious. It was — but it wasn't basketball. The proposed nine-team conference will mean two game series Watch for the now television program of highlights in the world of sports, entitled Lucky Lager Sport Timo. whieM will bo shown weekly on television stations throughout the west. The sports roundup is gatherod by a corps of cameramen on assignment to film the world s top »ports events oach w—x. and it is a pretty safe bet that no coach will go into one cf these twin bills with the Idea of backing into a win on defense. Sure, defense tactics are an integral part of the game, but ne scoreboard still tells the winner at the end of the game —tne team with the most points. And to got 'om. coaches are going to have to concentrate and moro on offensive pattern« and worry a little less about how fast a rival player X can move from point A to ■* All this should prove a little more desirable to the guy »n.th« stands. He pulls out his dough to see somebody throw the ball through the basket. Most cute defensive maneuvers are lost on him anyway. He doesn’t see ’em. . . . . . n Another development of conference wide basketball be the reduction of foul calls, simply because play?rs will be busier getting baskets and won’t have quite as much opportunity to keep badgering a guy until the whistle blows But all this is in the future. Right now, northern divi.lon teams are opening another season and this time around. It look« ae if a three-team race is in the making. Gill’s big Beavers — intact from last season —still must be rated the team to beat, but a young Washington team^ which Improved furiously In last season's closing weeks, and Oregon s P Webfoots, with Jim (Big Bear» Loscutoff back In tow after a two-year layoff, are distinct threats. Gill had an anxious few weeks during the summer when Halbrook came up with Inade quate grades ln the spring term and then subsequently dropped out of summer schooL But Halbrook pulled hi« grade« toaether dur ing fall term, although ho won't be eligible until January 1. . « The Huskies will Introduce seven foot Gary Nelson to college fans this season, but they’ll be relying on the pop shooting of Karl Voegtlln. a sophomore flash of last season. Bill Borcher of the Oreaons would like to have everyone think that his team is just filling out the schedule, but the wiser observers of northern division basketball are making sure he doesn't get away with it. So as usual, a madcap race Is In prospect for basketball fans In the Northwest, with a couple of guys competing who loom as big as the fabled tall firs of the mountainsides.
