"Losing to Crater will prove to be a good thing for the Pelicans' I don't know . . . that will depend on the Pelicans. While It's true that a defeat once In a while can help to keep a club from getting over confident, or so It's said, I can't help but feel that it's possible for one to learn just as much from a win as from a loss . . . (something like it's just as easy to fall in love with a rich girl as it is a poor one). Perhaps it might be selling Lloyd Hoffine's Comet crew short to say that the Pels were too over-confident ... I imagine the Crater ians have a feeling along that line. Remember.. I warned some time ago that one day Loyal Higinbotham and Louie Alvarez would get hot on the same night and get up and "kill somebody." Well, it happened.

So. it follows that many people feel that the Pels will be removed from the top of the polls this week. Me, I'm not so sure . . . maybe, maybe not. I still think they're potentially the best in the state ... all they have to do is prove it. What I say or think, or anyone else, for that matter, will have little bear ing on the outcome at Eugene, however. . . . , How well they play- basketball when they get there is all that counts.
