If it weren’t for the press and

to write about at year’s end the

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

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

Coaches now are faced with the prospect of playing each op
ponent four time«, which means that on the third and fourth
times around the coaches — and more particu •
lariy the players — know almost to the Inch
how a certain rival reacts to a certain situation.
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

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

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.

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
