EPHEMERAL A few words in rega rd to Cal­

tech's varsity basketball aggre­gation, 1948 edition, a re pl'obauly in order here s ince the Goon is no doubt too modest to throw too much s pace in that direction in his column.

Off their &7-54 win again st Oxy in the Tiger gy m, the Bevos must be counted arnong the fa vori tes fOl' the SC] C crown. Oxy did quite well in the Redlands Invi· tatio nal Tourney, losing to de· fending champi on Whitti e r by on ly one point. Both the Tiger and Poet quin te ts are high-scor­ing combinations and there was considerable doubt , in thei r firs t few starts, whether the Beavers, a lthough on a par in mos t re­spects, would be able to generate 55 to 70 poil1t·a·ga me power. The Oxy tilt shows that they call do it, since the Tigel's have neal'­per fected , through the years, an impregnable defense · on their own cl'ackerbox court.

The Engineers will need· to do this from now on out, though, in order to subdue the h igh scoring Poets and Tige rs in the confer· ence race, not to mention \vhat can happen in the Sagehen and Bu lldog contests if they "let up."

F J'OstbJte The Armory isn 't very big or

very warm, but if enoug h people cram in fo l' these home games, maybe that will heat the place up enoug h so the players can participate withou t getting frost­bite. Su pport at the "away" games , however, is even more im portant-even a s mall section of loyal root~rs is a big help in a game where the whole place is crammed with supporters of the other team.

C.LT. Student Newspaper, Herr RedakteUl':

The reputation for benignancy of your students has spread even to our distant land. At t he s ug­gestion of our Minis ter of Public Morals , Wadyslaw Rumplemeicl', a Caltech graduate, we are call­ing upon you to aid LI S in our struggle for independence. \Ve are not asking for money; we rea.lize your s tuden ts can hard­ly spare a bogach. But, you ca n bring our noble cause to th e at­tention of others in your fail' land.

After all , we are practica lly brothers under the skin. \Vheth· er in Pasadena or KoLtbus, we do just about the same thing. Of course, you realize that we Lusatians are Sorbs and not Serbs, a most important distinc­tion. However, even the Low Sorbs from south of Sagan are with us. As soon as we get our anthem and coat of a rms, we are gOing to the UNO to demand our independence. Then is when we need your moral s upport.

In the words of Wojtech Dela· now Koczka, "Svycarska Nal'od· ni Cestovni kancelar."

They wel'e in Barstow by ten-thirty that eve ning, a nd also by eight the next morning, though coo ler.

It is questionable whether the Oxy cagel's wi ll profit by the les­son in basketball gi ven them by the Bfjaver quintet last Friday night, but one thing is certain­the 57to·54 Tech vic tory definite­ly established the Engineers as ti t le contende rs in the forthcom­ing conference race ,

The Tige rs, boas ting league victories over Pomona and Red­lands and a I-point non·league loss Lo W hittier, were on the de­fe ns ive from the opening whis­tle. Big Paul Saltman led the Beavers with 21 points, and it was hi s deadly accuracy on pivot shots which kept the Oxy con­t ingent in consta nt trouble. Ten of his po ints were scored in the firs t ha lf as the Engineers grabbed a 29-to-23 lead at the in­te rmission of their initial con­ference game.

Em' ly I.Jcad

Bas kets by Saltman and Bob Stokely gave the Engineers an early 4 to 0 edge, and from that point on Oxy had an u phill bat­tle on its hands. The Tigers did hold a brief 9-to·S edge m idway in the first period, but Ted Bow­en's free tl1 l'Ow tied it up a nd Jay Mon tgomery's s wishing long shot put the Beavers out in fron t again. The remainder of the first half was all Ca ltech, with the Beavers at one time command­ing a 27-to-]7 lead.

The Oxy followers found one moment to cheer early in the sec­ond ha lf when second·string cen­ter J im Black put on a one-man rally, tossing in five straight buckets to give Oxy a 34-(0-33 lead. However, Bill Cox put Tech back in the lead w ith a 2-pOinter, and Oxy was never ahead agai n . The Tigers did manage to tie the count at 42-all with 10 minutes left to p lay, but Sa ltman came through with a basket and three st raight char­ity tos'ses, putting the Beavers ahead, 17 to 42.

J)espcratc I~ally

Apparently unwilling to ao.mit tha t their firs t league setback was at hand, the Oxy five fought back despe ra tely in the last three minutes to cut the Engi­neers' margin to 53 to 52. Red [;'urth then arched a perfect left­handel' from the corne r and the Beavers lecl by three, but Bob Olseo, who was Oxy'S leading scorer with 14 l>Dints, picked up a loose ba ll a nd drove it in all a lone to make the score 55 to 54 in CaJtech's favor. However, Bob Stokely sewed up the game fo r the Beaver's with a shot from tile back of the key-hole, and his mates stalled out the remain­ing 90 seconds, protecting their 57-to-54 lead.
