Rumor has it that Ara Parseghean is considering an invitation in-vitation to coach frisbee, but is torn between the two sports. IT WAS THREE Salt Lake City youths who first spread the word of frisbee and gave it renown. Gerald McDonough (who, to the Royal Society for the Advancement and Development Develop-ment of Frisbee at Universities Utah, Santa Clara, and Notre Dame, is Count Geraldo Migueal Patris Aloysius McDonough), the Chairman; Michael Gallivan, (who is Wolfgang Miguel Dennis Van Gallivan), Retired Director, ' - t-i f :' 4'' ' Vy r v , ' f i ' i I'- ; ' ft , 1 . , y if ' j ' are two goals, 50 yards apart. The object of the game is to throw your frisbee so that your team partner may catch it to score he need not run with his prize just catch it. Offensive frisbee has four frisbee propec-tors propec-tors and four frisbee receptors. WHAT IS UNUSUAL is that the four frisbee receptors stand behind their opponents, behind their goal. And what makes the game, is the way in which the frisbee projector projects the frisbee, for, with calculated storm and wind consideration, and with engaging either the under-arm-flat-trajectory or the over-arm, opposition can be seen leaping in no visible direction in an attempt to retrieve it an anterception results in a score for the defense. A "boomerang" effect is not impossible. THE SAME is true of frisbee reception. Should the frisbee competitor prefer the extended-arm-open-palm recovery to be the most favorable in their style of play (as does the Santa Clara Eight), then all the better. Probably the most entertaining entertain-ing and justifiable component of the spring melee is the pre-tour-nament banquet, last year hosted by Von Gallivan. By way of a post-tournament jubilee, the Baron Von Maher gave his all to afford his inter-collegiate competitors com-petitors the best of the Santa Clara campus, at which the usual liquid refreshments were available. avail-able. But for those of us in concordance con-cordance with the University, the Utah University Gin-fiz was surely a highlight of the frisbee season. THE TENSION mounts away from the table of repast, as this year Santa Clara boasts a well-schooled well-schooled team in both fundamentals fundamen-tals and winning tactics, capitalizing capital-izing on a comfortable and nearly near-ly always outdoor practice sessions. ses-sions.

But this hardly robs Notre Dame of indoor in-door practice, at which they have proceeded to perfect the precise methods of launching and receiving receiv-ing only attainable through that indoor practice, but so necessary to outdoor competition.
