Show Off the blotter: Editor Offers Congrats to Casaba Teams Championships Woe and begore, lad, and 'tis no shame that them Cubs lost th' basketball champeenship ! Mike, you're right. Despite the fact that South teams were about as sharp as a damp soda cracker when they ran up against East and West on the detested gym floor, the boys were really in there pitchin'. We proved it in the last game when we flattened the leopard and robbed it of everything but the proverbial squeal . . . and the Eciders had plenty of that left! The leopards turned out fine teams, though, and so we say hats off to some swell sports and three grand coaches. We've ridden rid-den Brooks and Lence plenty in the Scribe, but no two finer fellows ever graced the hardwoods hard-woods here while playing for another team. The only gripe we have is against "Big Stoop," a massive guard on their "B" team who growled at every adverse ad-verse decision the refs made. (Written with all due apologies to the sports page.) A Choice Bit From the Utah Chronicle of some time back: A statistician reports that there are twice as many rats as humans , in the world. It is well known in which class he counts some continental European leaders. lead-ers. Quite Seriously America and Americans and school "kids" are used to being pampered. When this big mess is finished, we'll go back to being even happier, we believe. But will we be soft, and easy prey for dictatorial nations? We think not. Just about everyone can act quickly. We jump at conclusions, sometimes. And other times we rise to the occasion. The former may be excused ex-cused if the later trait is present. Youth can be prepared. Youth must be prepared. Youth will be prepared to finish this conflict con-flict and ward off post-war laxity. America will not again be caught napping.
