SEATTLE, Dec. 23 P) Seattle basketball bug who were
going bullish on the University of Washington's 1942 basketball
hopes have pulled In their horns. Not all the way, mind you
Just a leetle bit.
What cooled them was last weekend's Intersectlonal hoop
fnre featuring the Washington Huskies and the Washington State
Cougars against Missouri and Kansas State of the Big Six.
wa.imngion aiaie, west
ern champion and national run
nerup, looked much more Im
pressive In dealing double lick
ings to the invaders than did the
Huskies.
0So let's see what the Huskies
hnv
Principally, It's Bobby Llndh.
Llndh led the northern division
in scoring as a sophomore. Last
year he was way off until he
started wearing spec after mid
season. Then he was deadly. HI
shooting was Just as deadly In
the big six series, besides which,
no's clever as you'll find in the
northwest, and one of those In
spirational "follow me" guy.
There are some potential star
on the Husky squad, but so far
they haven't shown any great
consistency. Norm Dalthorp, the
slim, catlike forward, gets more
shot than anybody on the club,
but when hlr shooting eya I off,
at lt was last Friday night, his
general team play suffer.
Bill Morris of Bremerton,
hard-fighting guard, is a plugger
who may rise to the heights this
year, unless his love of heavy
going unbalances his perspective.

The only senior to see ac

Cruiser Harry Nelson, tha be

Denver, and Georga Fllfelt, six

Salt Lake City who saw reserve
duty last year.
Sophomores upon whom Coach
Hec Edmundson I banking are
Merlin "Boody" Gilbertson and
Bill Glssberg from that unde
feated championship Everett high
school team of two years ago.
Gilbertson is a rangy, six foot

A boy who may surprise Is

and 190 pounder with plenty of
drive, spirit, and a better than
average shooting aye. Leask Is a

squad.

that after all, Washington ha
had but two games against col
legiate competition, while WSC
has had several. Tha current

: One day their paper said, "Mr.
Karkekogi, Siberian novelist, told
our reporter yesterday that all men

When Robert read this, he
thought'So that is Mr. Kerkekogi's
OPINION, is It? And what does a
NOVELIST know about such things
anyway? It sounds SILLY to me,"
and he went to his office ON TpB ,'.

But John accepted Mr. Kerke

he got to his office, everybody
laughed, a a - "

Don't think this is such a ridicu

You will read
both FACTS and '

your newspaper.
It brings you
both every day
because your
newspaper's JOB
is to bring you
ALL the news, to report honestly
and accurately about what is going
on in the world, without thinking
of whether you like or dislike the
news it reports.
Almost always your newspaper
makes it clear which part of the
news is FACT, which part OPINION.
After that, it is up to you to put
' your Judgment to work separating
the facts from the opinions, boiling
both down into the INFORMATION
you must have if you are to vote
intelligently, know what to buy
