Show A Brave Soul Speaks Out Dear Jay I was particularly interested in your reply to a Utah Fan Fm regarding regarding regarding re re- garding the Wyoming Utah basketball game of last Friday evening There are a great many Utah fans who cannot understand why no substitutions were made until the thc final minute of oC the game and then only when necessitated by the foul rule It certainly does docs not riot leave any incentive for the thc reserves to keep in condition and improve their play A few substitutions in the second half of the game might easily casily have gained a victory for Utah I think Utah's reserves are lre capable and eager cager to play and should shou be given a chance In the event you do not know it the team which makes the most points wins the game Certainly Utah did not have a winning combination combination com com- in the second half When your opponent is increasing its lead such as Wyoming was as doing then it would be a good time to make a substitution or change the combination Clifford Gee Dear Clifford Yours is an interesting epistle indeed You have made several abstract observations about the potential potential poten of some boys who were sitting on the bench What they could have done remains a deep dark secret that none of us will ever know But Dut I agree it is interesting to speculate about such things After all on every ery basketball team there must be he reserves Only five men can play at one time which time which probably is fortunate as this game goes Reserves are vcr very important to the continuation of the game And nd I most heartily agree that Utah's reserves are 1 I good goot ones they ones they would have to be to make the team You made a le one observation that completely astounds me You philosophically surmised that the Inc team icam that nat makes mais the inc mo most t points wins the game and anti maybe the Utes weren't acquainted with this fact Your point has been well taken though Cubs Have Won Only Two Dear Ja Jay 1 In order to settle another argument I wonder if you could tell teIl me how many times the Chicago Cubs have been in the world series and how many times they have won it It is my contention that the Cubs have won the series at least once during the last 10 years Would you be bc kind enough to verify verily this for me H. H L. L K Dear H. H L. L K The Chicago Cubs like the Brooklyn Dodgers have long been noted for being a very cry poor world series team The Bruins have won the world series but twice in their many attempts That was as back in 1907 and 1908 Actually the Cubs have been in the world series a total of 10 times Those dates are 1906 1907 1908 1910 1918 1929 1932 1935 1938 and more recently 1945 However I believe that they were officially recognized as National league champions about six times previous to 1905 which U was the first official world series |
