TIME OUT!
Miybe ant time you'll know

my do-before-I-die list along with
seeing New Orleans' Mardi Grns
and vlsitinsr New York is to see
Johnny O'Brien play basketball.
Our Dave Underbill made a quick
trip to Portland over the weekend
to catch the Seattle-Portland Friday
night game.
When Dave returned, I wasted
no time asking him how "O'Brien
looked." ,
Underbill's Impression of the
amazing Seattle youngster is that
"he's so. smooth that you hardly
know he's on the floor."
When you consider the fact that
Johnny O is playing in this day of
basketball giants O'Brien is just
5-ft be must be incredible. He'd
get my nomination for the Athlete
of the Tear title.
He's almost a cinch to set the
collegiate 1000 points a season mark
It's never been done with two
' games to go and Just 30 points to
pick up.
When the Globetrotters were here,
I asked Jack Macdonald. advance
i man for the Negro cage greats,
what he thought of O'Brien. (O'Bri
en scored more than 40 points with
three of the "Trotters guarding him
most of the time).
Macdonald, a guy always glib,
emild just sigh, and say: "He's
Jfeatl"
Macdonald, you'll remember, is
the man who almost bought the
Par West Pittsburg baseball fran
chise last season and attempted to
move Jt to Albany.
His angel didn't do any "angel
ing". SOMEONE In Bonanza (the letter
is typical in that it has no signa
ture) takes me to task for printing
names of the Bonanza cagers re
cently dismissed' from the squad
for breaking training rules tP.S.
They have been reinstated.)
The letter was nice but erron
eous. The writer charges me with with
holding names in a similar case at
Sacred Heart early in the football
season when three Trojans were
kicked off the squad for the same
reason.
May I Tefer the writer to the
Oct, 1, 1951, Issue of the Herald
and News. In the sports section,
under heading: "3 Trojans Get
Boot", the names of the three are
plainly readable.
This subject is perhaps getting
somewhat monotonous, but I'll re
peat for the umpteenth time that
all cases of this kind are handled in
the same manner, with no respect
to persons or schools. "
BRIEFS from the sports file:
Metiers, winner of 11 ' straight
games (this .is written Wednesday)
in the Victory league have had a
aew coach their last half dozen
games. . Jie is Lawrence Cheyne,
athletic star at Henley several years
ago. . .his nephew, Ronnie Cheyne,
is one of Metler's shooting stars. . .
Bill Bowennan, Oregon track
coach, writes to tell me that Ger
ald Garrett, half-miler of two .years
ago at KUHS, is a fine prtepect
for the Webfoots . . . Bowennan
writes . . . "it is too early to make
any predictions on the young mas.
but in intramural competition he
is undefeated in the three-quarter
mile run ..."
A sportswriter leads a dog's life
