BASKETBALL Once upon a time there was a basketball team named Westminster (Parsons, of course) who had lost a few games at the start of the season and then jelled. This team won, won, and won. For a while it looked as if nothing could stop the Parsons tremendous winning streak. Added to this fabulous record was the possibility of a berth in the NAI small college tourney in Kansas City. The coach (Howard Richardson) began to worry because his team was winning Coach by too big of scores. After EDGING CSU 115-6Richardson thought that he must have been dreaming. The team was playing like a machine. Everything was going too well. Rich didnt want his near-perfeplayers to get too sharp so he sent them home over the semester break.

Then he woke up. Was this the team that had won 15 and lost only 6? No, it certainly wasnt. Was he at the right practice? Yes, he was. Gone were starters Mike Murry and Matt Brown, and reserve Lee Schoonover scholastic troubles. That smarted. There were some new boys, but how can a coach teach them what they must know in so short a time? Rich could no longer dream about a tournament. He knew that there could be questions asked about Bill Crows eligibility, but that was not the big thing. As if this wasnt enough, Don Hopkins, another first stringer and star boardman, got banged up in Southern Utah and was declared out for the season. What a sad transformation this was. It looked as if the old coach might have to borrow some players before the season was over. Yes, he must have been dreaming! End of Act II. . , Snacks This play ACT III is still going on. It is not fiction. It is the horrible truth. All the coach can do now is experiment and cry the typical coachs lament; wait till next year! The dreams that he will dream now will all be centered around next year. (End of tragedy.) , SCHOOL SUPPLIES and GROCERIES HARWOOD'S Open to II p.m. 2053 So. 3th East 1 (Ed. note. Moral to the story: Why would anyone want to be a basketball coach?) INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL The basketball league was a big success. Approximately 75 men making up nine teams fought it out for the championship. Congratulations to the Seniors who placed the two top teams after eligibility rules pushed the Soph No. 6 and Frosh No. 8 teams out of the running. This league was successful not only because of the great participation, but also because of the fine work of Pepe Reyes and his staff of referees and scorers, timers and sweeper. Everyone who helped with the program is to be commended for a Job well done. Now let us carry forward this fine enthusiasm and cooperation to softball and the rest of the sports thsl year.

The absence of these key men will be felt in the rest of the games. . 4 GAIN PLAYERS Coach Richardson did pick up some players at the break, but nothing that would compare to the likes of Murry, Brown, and Hopkins.

Smith hit 20, mostly on soft jumpers, while Hatton collected 12 despite only playnig about half of the game. They joined Bill Crow as the only Parson who could find the range. With a lack of height and ability, Coach Richardson went into a new offense with three guards out and Smith and .. Hatton underneath. This move did help offensively, but left the Parsons vulnerable on defense with the three short men battling the big Lumberjacks. Even CSU, humiliated by the Parsons 115-6in Salt Lake, did not have too much trouble with the inexperienced men that Westminster had to play. 5 INGVAR'S BARBER SHOP BARBERING by Appointment Only NO WAITING 1703 South 17th East Phone HUnter Before 3:30 to avoid the rush 21 |
