SLIDING SCALE FOR SLIDING RULES

So there were too many donuts in

this world and the best way to ge t

rid of them was to use "donut am-

munition" and thus give vent t o

animal spirit.

Had this terminated at the end of

the journey the incident would not

have been so noticeable, but the fight

was continud on the No . 14 street -

car in full view of the public .

Is the University going to tolerate

a set of people who can only get

rid of glucose in this way whilstEurope is starving ?

It is not the two or three cakes

that count but the blindness (o r

assumed blindness) of the facts oftoday .

This, surely, can only gain UBC a

bad reputation, and in order to advert

this, may I express, through the

medium of this paper, my sincere

SIGNBOARD

Many members of the Faculty of Applied

Science are under the misapprehension tha tthey deserve special consideration in the ap-

portioning of AMS funds.

They contend that the pass feature sys-

tem gives preference to other faculties at

their expense, their reasoning being that be -

cause of the nature of their courses they hav e

no time to attend the various programs—five

symphony concerts,, ten feature guest artists ,

and so on—offered during the year .

They argue that because o this apparentinequality they have a right to a larger

council grant for their own social functionsthan have other faculties.

This feeling is the basic cause behind therecent dispute between council and the En-gineers' Undergraduate Society concernin gthe engineers' budget .

The engineers asked council to under-write a total budget of more than $3000.

Council has acted rightly in refusing thisdemand . The verdict on the problem—expect-ed Monday morning—will probably see the

AMS subsidy substantially reduced . It is al -together likely that council will adopt the 6 0cents- per-student plan for social budgets .

Fact is that the red shirts ' request wasfar in excess of the demands of all othe r

It is a shame about wars but it seemsthat they are inevitable . There does notappear to be much that we can do to alter theinexorable flow of the future into the past .We have them regularly, wars followed byperiods of uncertain peace, just like boom sand depressions, and whether we like th eidea or not we might just as well get use t o

it ,

BOMB RUSSIA NOW

Only a few short years ago we finishedthe second in a series of "wars to end wars" ,and now Mother Earth is pregnant with wha tmay well be the last of her babies by Pap aMars. The damn reds are asking for it andsince we have the atom bomb and they hav enot, we might as well give it to them (be 'we 'is meant the United States and etc . )

The power politicking of the last yea rshould have proven to everyone that twosystems as dialectically opposed as ours an dRussia's cannot get along in the same century .

The foregoing was a brief resume of th erationalizing now going on in the WesternDemocracies . There is something fishy inthis sudden war-like sentiment . It is certain-ly not the spontaneous reaction of a civilisedpeople to a difficult international situation .

It would seem that there is an elementof desperation in the current campaign fo ranother war . Leaders of popular opinion arethe former isolationists and the "Hitler i sreally a good guy" boys. It is difficult toreconcile the pre-war attitude of CharlesLindberg with his post-war support of th e"Get Tough" policy.

EDITORIAL SHARPSHOOTING

And the Lord help anyone who dares t ovoice the opinion that maybe Col . McCormickcould be wrong. Any suggestion that ther emay, with an effort to understand our "en-emies", be peace in our time is answered bya bronx-cheer, sometimes verbal, but mos toften editorial .

Take for example the ease of Henr yWallace, editor, politician, martyr,

faculties. Their only justification was in pre-cedent .

In any event is it time for a word to thewise for engineers at large . It is just abouttime the faculty as a whole—, as a whole be -cause there have been many outstanding ex-ceptions—got over its apparent separatist ten-dencies. All will agree that any move to de-centralize student government can result onl yin a weakening o the administrative structure .This is a truth well evidenced as many othe runiversities where separate faculty govern-ments dule independently .

It is probably due to the overall executiveat UBC that we have built up a strength ofstudent autonomy seldom equalled on th eAmerican continent , . . a conclusion borneout by the fact that our's is the only schoo lboasting student buildings—built throughstudent efforts .

It is our firm conviction that any move-ment to establish stronger control by th erespective faculty executives, at the expenseof the council system will be highly detri-mental . We feel that that fully adequate repre-sentation of faculty problems is allowedthrough the Undergraduate Societies Corn-mittee and that there can be no justificatio nfor any such move .

Anyhow, honors arts and law coursesare probably heavier than any applied scienc ecourse .

Wallace might not be the ideal of com-mon sense but he definitely is the hope of thecommon man . He is one of the few nationa lfigures in the United States with enoughintestinal fortitude to preach a doctrine o fpeace while the rest of the country's politic-ians are crying for war, or the next bes tthing, the "Get Tough" policy.

The end result has not been a happy onefor Wallace. He has been a target for prac-tically every editor in the country . He hasbeen refused the use of public building sand radio time .

EVEN VANCOUVERAnd recently, with its usual editoria l

depth and perception, Vancouver's leadin gnewspaper (self-styled) dragged the spokes -man for the common era over the coals. Inthis particular article the writer, 'with a poorsense of relatives, conferred upon Wallac ethe title ."The Chamberlain of America" .

Wallace's plea for understanding of aformer ally is compared with the futile effor tof a futile old man to call a good bluffer . Thechief distinction between the work of Chamb-erlain and Wallace is the fact that the forme rtook a popular stand . The English wantedpeace in 1938. Today, the Americans seem t obe ready for war .

The editorial ended with a compariso nto end all comparisons : "When Goebbelstried it, the process was known as 'softeningup' the democracies" .

That must be hard to take for a ma nwhose only crime against humanity is thathe dared to suggest the possibility of peac ein our time and is willing to sacrifice himsel fin order to carry his message to the world .

Even the more thick-headed of the popu-lation must see the possibility of a war . Thispossibility is something we can no longe rscoff at as "crackpot talk" .

Irresponsible sections of society with fa rmore influence than their intelligence war -rants are leading the Western World down apath to a permanent blackout of civilization,

UBC Extension Dept. OffersVaried "Capsule Courses "

More than thirty-five "capsule college" courses coverin gsubjects ranging from the fine arts through business, psychology,languages, and home or public planning, are offered in the1947-48 series of night classes given by the Extension Depart-ment of the University of British Columbia .

First lecture of the year's series day nights at 8 :00 p .m. in the Arts

October 20,

" . . . Bartley will have a fine coffin out of the whiteboards1 and a deep grave surely. What more can we wantthan that? No man at all can be living forever, and w emust be satisfied . .

. Hand me down some of them white boards and a passe lof finishing nails, kiddies . And quit snivellin' and rubbingyour sweater sleeve acrost your eyes that way — there's noshame in honest tears, but you're making us all feel bad .

For your dear old Uncle Jabez, as far as these columns an dyou kiddies are concerned, is dead . Gone the familiar footsteps ,and the merry laugh . Gone the Mummery, gone Homer Quin-cey, gone Moose Groin, Sask. All all gone; we'll hear themnevermore. Almost nevermore, anyway. We may hear himcalling us again ; but it will be a voice calling over the years andout of the mists of the past; like the voice of Enrico Caruso onthe gramaphone .

He was just plumb wore out, I guess. Not wrote out; worethe streets, adopted him,, and did all he could for him until 1940 .and he hand-raised all them characters, without a mother toguide them. Way back in '38, he found that Chang Suey onthe streets, adopted him, and did al he could for him until 1940 .Chang turned out to be a devil, in spite of it all, and Jabez fin-ally cornered him in the washroom of the Library, and finishe dhim off with a pot of boiling oil, or something, when he learne dof Chang's plan to wire every professor (even Walter Gage) ;and touch the lot off . Then Uncle Jabez built the Mummery ,and raised another bunch of kids, including that loveable littl edope, Professor Elf Moonglow—remember him? Then you rUncle Jabez want away for his appendix, and came back wit hyour little cousin, Homer Quincey .

THE ENDJabez never seemed to get his strength back after Homer

came, though he looked as good as ever. But one day, not lon gago, he laid down his typewriter, gave a little sigh, and said :"I think I'll stop now . "

And, so help us, he did. We shook him, pressed his hands,took his pulse, tied a tourniquet on his leg and rolled his eye-lid back; but it wasn 't any of it any use. After nearly ten happ yyears together, he literally up and died . And straightaway h ewent to that Westminster Abbey where all the other grea twriters are buried—the department of English—where he lie stoday . ,

Maybe you never knew that "Jabez" is a Hebrew wordmeaning: "he who gives pain" . Well, he nearly killed us withlaughing.

Another white board, kiddies . This little old box has got tolast him a long time . And a few more nails, boys .

That Jabez . He was no columnist at all, but a vaudevillianof the printed word . And as a vaudevillian he had the mostincredible collection of imaginative pratfalls that ever shoo kthe boards on such an inky stage . And what a low cunningfor laughs, that Jabez had . It got so, toward the end, that whe nhe crawled out from under the curtain to come onstage in para-graph one, the audience voluntarily left their seats to lie downin the aisles . They knew he would put them there anyway ,and they couldn't wait to go.

THE PRINCE OF WHIMS YWe used to call him the Prince of Whimsy, and he was .

He was also a tramp on a one-wheeled cycle ; and he was a veryvulgar fellow indeed, at times . But as the prince, he took goodcare to see that no one but himself got hurt in print . And tothe best. of our recolleition, he never wrote a column with in -tent to bruise, though the opportunity was often present, andhe had a plentiful supply of lead type at hand .

A good many Ubyssey columnists have gone prospecting ,in the manner of their trade, for the bright iron pyrite of reade rinterest, these ten years and more past . Many of them wentup into the high hills of philosophy and culture, armed withpickaxes rifled from the toolboxes of Plato, Socrates, Winchell ,Lippman and Lardner. Old Jabez got himself a pie pan, squat-ted down on a sandbar by the backwaters of human interest ,and with his varicose veins aching, panned away steadily on thesame spot . He came out with more gold than most ; enoughto retire on, anyway .

Vaudevillian and prospector, he had still another role ; andit is in this that we remember him best :

Self-appointed warrior in our happy, foolish, nostalgic little

game of inter-faculty battle (at once a bow to tradition and anantidote to boredom) . Jabez stood alone as the Artsmen's David,confronting the horrid Goliath of Science . It was his slingalone, at times, that separated his hapless, culture-weakened ,efete Artsmen brethern from the snorting, stomping, red-shirte dcolossus of brute force, with its' river-shaking cries of "fee-fie-foh-fum." But when the battle raged most fiercely, he no longerresembled David, but rather Horatius at the bridge, shouting :"Scienceman—the caulilower of modern education" while th ebodies piled up in front of him .

THE REDSHIRTS LOVED'HIMWell, because the Sciencemen love a fighter (and becaus e

Jabez immortalized them as the great lovers they in truth are ,in "Her Scienceman Lover") they forgave him his cuts, hisgibes, and took him to their rough-hewn hearts . Jabez couldwalk through a Science pep-meet, trailing a red sweater in thedust behind him, end emerge unharmed, if not unshaken .

Yes, we're burying your old Uncle Jabez today, kiddies .As Mr. Synge suggests, there's no man at all can be living orwriting forever, and we must be satisfied, though it hurts . Sowe'll knock him together this white board coffin, you and I, andwe'll bury him in a deep grave surely — for there's no gravedeeper than the heart .

He was a good man, that Jabez. To the best of our know-ledge. his near-decade of service to the student body brough thim, by way of material reward, one bronze L .S.E. button, onegold L .S.E. button, one large box of nuts, twenty-one Valentines ,and a seat of honour at a Publications Board Banquet . Thatwas all he wanted, really . It was his pleasure, he said, and hehad had fun .

Well kiddies, after he went away, we got to figuring. Wefigured that, "Her Scienceman Lover" and other dramas apart ,Jabez had written, for the Ubyssey alone, about 165 columns.And, if an average of 3000 student readers each grinned, chuck -led or laughed three times per column, why, that's an awfullot of grins, chuckles and laughs. Kiddies, that's 1,500,000smiles . Stretched from ear to ear, enough to go around th eworld .

FIVE CENTS A SMILEThen we went around to the University Health Service an d

asked them how much, medicinally speaking, a smile was worth .And they laughed and said, oh, heavens, at least a nickel—theprice of a good kidney pill . So we multiplied 1,500,000 smilesby five cents per smile; and in cold figures we estimate that oldJabez contributed about $75,000 to his Alma Mater . Outsideof the provincial government, that about makes him our bigges tdonor.

That gift has been spent, of course ; but the memory lingerson. And that memory will be part of all the other pleasantmemories you will have when you are old and grey—olderand greyer than you are now—of that time in your short, happ yyoung life when you walked down the Malls of old Potpourri .And with that in mind, we would like to advance to all of youa proposal .

It is this - that you and I get one of those tin doojiggerswith a hole in the top, and let everyone who wants to put anickel in, put a nickel in . Then, when all the nickels are in ,we'll count them up and see if we have enough money to bu yJabez a bust of hisself . If we haven't we'll settle for a littlebronze plaque .

Then we'll go to the Council and say : Council, you've gotlots o campus space around here—how about giving us fou rsquare feet of it, for a friend of ours. And when Council sayswhy we'll say, why, for us at Homecoming, 1966, and for th eFresh of 1966 who cry Author, Author, at Her SciencemanLover. Like this :

IN LOVING MEMORY OFJABEZ

BELOVED CAMPUS HUMORIST WHOFOR A FULL DECADE GAVE TO HISFELLOW MEN THE PRICELESS GIFT

OF LAUGHTER

Well, what do you say? If only ten of you write us to sa ycount me in, then we'll kick this thing off ; and next Valentine' sDay, with the Varsity Band playing Smile, Damn You, Smile ,we'll unveil our very own memorial to Jabez . And to laughter .

DRUM MAJORETTES STEP OUT

Hard Working MamooksSpark Campus Activities

By CHARLES MARSHALL

Mamooks live up to their name .About the campus these days, as always, the name Mam-

ooks is a byword for energy in student activities, but few peopleknow why this odd-sounding title was given to one of th euniversity's busiest clubs .

CHEER LEADERS

Formed more than 20 years ago

the Mamooks have consistently pro-

vided students with cheer-leading ,

poster-painting and ushering to spark

nearly every type of campus affair .

One of the primary functions of the

club is to supply student organiza-

tions with any kind 'of poster they

may require . In fact, no signs, othe r

than those carrying the familiar Ma-

mooks mark, may legally be dis-

played about the campus .

Deep in their Brock Hall "rain-

bow room" the artists of the Ma-

mooks wield their brushes, withou t

pay and displays which they pro -

duce advertise everything, from con-

tests to exam timetables .

MAJORETTES DAllLE

Cheerleaders are an important

factor in college life everywhere .

At UBC it's the white-clad Mamooks

who spark athletic events with tradi-

tional yells and cheers.

And right behind the cheerleaders

are the recently-organized drum

majorettes who last year dazzled

spectators with glitter and glamor.

At the beginning of last fall the

majorettes, under the tutleage of Do n

Herley, worked fevrishly and soonamazed audiences with their baton

handiwork .

All previous records for the saleof second hand books have bee nbroken this year .

The Commerce Undergraduate So-

ciety, operators of the Book exchange ,report that "every day this year w ehave grossed in excess of all lastyear's operation . "

Books, tueneu into the exchange ,immediately become exchange pro-

perty, but are returned to thei rowners after the closing date, Octobe r1 if not sold . However, books notcurrent in present courses are do-

nated to the ISS .

When books are sold, the exchang ededucts ten percent of the sale price ,half of which is donated directly tothe ISS, and the other half used t odefray expenses.

The CUS encougages students t ouse the exchange but reminds the mthat closing date is Wednesday, Octo-

ber 1 .

FIRST LECTURE

Professor John Davidson, Depart-

ment of Botany, is in charge of th e

first open course in the 1947 schedule .

The subject is general botany, to be

Dr . Leonard Marsh, noted Canadian

Sociologist, will take charge of the

18-week course in Housing and Com-

munity Planning, to be given Mon-

ism given by a Vancouver news-

paperman and editorial writer, Wil-

fried Bennett, will meet Tuesday at

which proved highly successful dur-

ing the university's recent summer

session, will be again given with

special classes in three groups All

classes will meet at Acadia Camp.

Adults will first meet Monday eigh t

at 8 p.m., October 20. Instructor is

The Children 's Hour

OTHER COURSE S

Other courses included in the "cap-sule college" are : Personnel Manage-ment, Marketing, Economics in Prac-

tice, Accounting . Fundamentals of

Cost Accounting, Traffic Management,

Concert Lectures and Music Appreci-

ation, Pictures of Significance. Art

Photography, Public Speaking, Cul-

ture of the Slavonic Peoples, Amateur

Gardening and Horticulture, andPoultry Husbandry .

Originating from a local Indian dia-

lect, the word Mamook means "hard

worker," an apt name for the club

that provides the campus with every .

thing from ticket takers to drum

majorettes .

Toronto Finds

High Enrollment

Toronto—Following a week of har-rowing line-ups, registration at th e

University of Toronto has been al -most completed, Registrar A. B.Femmell said no figures would be

available until October 9 .

Fortunately for students, the make-

up of the club is such that new mem-

bers can always be absorbed an dwith greater things being planned inall fields for the '47-'48 term the

Mamooks are extending a hearty wel-

come to all .

No picture of the club would be

complete without a word about the

social activities which form import -

ant part in the life of every Mamook.

Two regular parties and many in -

formal gatherings show the campus

that members know how to enjoythemselves as well as work .

BEHIND THE SCENES

Last but not least on the roster of

Mamook activities are the many be -

perform. Ticket-sales, dance-decorat-

ing, and coat checking are all handle d

by members of the Mamook.

In their white satin uniforms an d

plumed hats the majorettes provide d

a brilliant spectacle at football games ,

basketball games and parades.

Book Exchange

Breaks Record

OVERCROWDING

Professional faculities were againbombarded by more applications thanthey could handle and a number ofwould-be engineers, doctors and den-

tists were forced to postpone theirplans for another year.

Students refused admission to pro-

fessional faculities will be permittedto register in Arts . Few applicantshave taken this alternative althoug h

taking the Arts course would givethem a higher rating in professiona lfaculties .

Indications are that last years regis-

tration of 17,071 would be equalledagain this year with heavier registra-

tion in senior years .

Veterans who formed the large bulkof new undergratuates last year havebeen absorbed for the most part andalthough some have entered Uni-

versity this fall, the bulk of fresh-man classes will be composed of stu-

dents entering directly from highschool .

ANOTHER ONE FOR THE RECORDAs the comic strips declare so eloquently in their daily

sermons to the young, there's no rest for the wicked, nor slee pfor the beautiful. Lest there be any misunderstanding as to the

significance of the foregoing patter, your humble scribe is forced

to add that of late he has been bullied into accepting only the

first half of that trite maxim as the gospel truth. But that's life .Again that haunting deadline nears, and your reporter bows

low his head as the unsheathed axe whistles down, 'Tis time

for another effort, and the printer beckons .

World Series Time Agai nJudging by the coverage in practically every sports page

on the continent, the World Series has rolled around once

more, and eager student fandom will soon be deserting the

musty lecture room for smokier hovels . around a radio.

Yes, the Yanks and the Dodgers are readying themselvesfor baseball's biggest extravaganza, and for the richest prize

in the game . Predictions as to the outcome have been rampan tduring the past few days, so in resignation your reporter too

will throw down the gage of battle and enter the fray .Termed a "subway series", this year's edition of major

league rivalry sees New York and Brooklyn renew the feudstarted in 1941 when the Bronx Bombers trounced the Bum sfour games to one .

It's Nice For the New YorkerSpeaking of subway series, your reporter recalls that 194 7

sees the ninth of such chummy affairs . The last, as most fanswill remember, was in 1944 when the St . Louis Cards ease dby the Browns in six games much to the consternation of th elatter who had won their first pennant in 44 tries . The firsthometown jamboree was in 1906 when the Chicago White So xtrimmed the Cubs, again in six games .

And in between there were six such battles . of which fiv ewere between the New York entries in the major circuits ('21 ,'22. '23 . '36. and '37) . and the other that ill-fated series in 194 1between the Yanks and Dodgers .

We 're in the mood now, and it makes an interesting pa stim ereviewing some of the "essential" statistics pertinent to thepresent fracas .

CALDWELL, IDAHO, Sept . 27—Dear Alma Mammy—i tain't so bad that we lose our first conference game, 47-13, heretonight, Ma ; but it 's the way we lose that hurts . It is reallydiscouraging Ma.

Take that second Idaho touchdown for instance . After theyscore their first one, Ma, we decidfe to receive. This joker Wardgets away a nice placement and the ball goes about 50 yard s

in the air then rolls about 15 more and comes to rest in ourend zone.

Figures Don 't LieOur records show that the Yanks have won the pennan t

15 times since 1921, including 11 World Series triumphs, whil ethe Dodgers have taken only three flags and have been thwarte din every attempt to capture the bigger prize .

Getting a little more general, the American League winne rhas knocked off their senior circuit rivals 26 times, while th eNationals have turned the trick only 17 .

Well, fans that's the score . Statistics give this week's part yto Bucky Harris' crew from Yankee Stadium, and your reporte rgoes out on a limb in declaring that he's all for figures, and s ohe picks the Yanks in six games .

knights would stand on e

broadsword 's length away from one

another. Knight A would swing hi s

sword at Knight B who would pa-tiently stand there while it hit him .

At the same time, he would mentall y

count his beads and pray for hi s

armour to hold. After the blow ha d

landed and providing his prayer s

were answered, Knight B would re -

turn a lusty blow striking Knigh t

A who in his turn would be patien t

and pray . At the end of a couple o f

hours if toy hadn't killed one anote rwith blows from the sword, the ywould drop dead from exhaustion .

SURPRISE, SURPRISEOne day a hatter managed to ge t

into a violent argument with on e

of the mighty "Goliaths " . The brave

knight lifted his sword up over hi s

head to deal the fatal blow . Then

with a nt'ight swing down it came-swish—But what happened? Th e

Hatter moved! The knight was

shocked—he thought "Coward—h e

can't do that" .The hatter with naught but hi s

wits and a hat pin for defence, gulpe d

and charged . With a dainty desperat e

thrust he placed the hat pin point

through a joint in the knight's ar-

mour . The knight staggered, clutched

his throat, rolled his eyes, and died.Thus a new era began—t h e light

pointed sword.The light pointed sword becam e

very popular especially in France an d

was adopted as the weapon of th e

nobility . This was he glorious guacl y

age of sworclsplay .NOW ITS SPORT

In he 19h and the early 20th cen-tury gentlemen, in order to satisf y

their honr, used the weapon fo r

duelling purposes . In the 20th cen-tuy, duelling was outlawed and i n

its place the art of fencing as a

sport grew and up until the World

War II was still growing .The UBC Fencing Club is enter-

ing its third year upon the campus .Providing all goes as has been plan-ned, it should be a great year for th e

revival of the "aristocratic " sport offencing ,

PLANKMEN PLAN

BIG YEAR,

LEAVE VOCA revived ski club landed on the

campus last week when 26 members

of the competitive ski team got to-

gether under coach Peter Vajda to

break away from the VOC and re-orm the Thunderbird Ski Club .

Under an elective executive, com-posed of Don Johnson, President ;

Jack Leggett, Vice-President an d

team manager; and Al Bluechel ,

Secretary-Treasurer; the club plans

to accomodate any , active skier on

the campus who desires to participat e

In both recreational and competitive

skiing .

In order to get the ball rolling, a

special meeting has been called for

this Thursday at 12 .30 p.m. in Ap. Sc.102. It is imperative that both - boysand girls interested turn-out to this

meeting .

The separation of theSki Club fro m

the VOC heralds a new phase ofcompetitive barrel-staving at Varsity .

While shaven of Its powers as moder-ator for competitive skiing at th e

university, the Varsity Outdoor Club

will continue Its mountain hikin g

expeditions ant outdoor camping on

the peaks adjacent to Vancouver .

TEAM STRONGBack from ast year is the corn -

plete team. It is comprised of clubpresident Ormie Hall, secretary BobPlommer, and Doug Bajus, wh oplayed against Frank Stranahan thi ssummer at Pebbles Beach, Califrn-ia, in the first round of the U.S .Amateur Open .

But this is not all . Teamed withthese three will be the no less ter-rific Davie Dale, Dick Hanley, an dHans Swinton, all of last year' s

SUPPORT NEEDED

"We have some big plans worke dout for this gear and next summer, "says Bob Plommer . "Of course thesuccess of these plans will have alot to do with the success of jus tsuch events as this tournament tha tis coming up. We must have thesupport of all golfers on the campus . "

So let's go, students! If you ca nnot be there in person and you arereally interested in entering th etournament, call Bob Plommer atKerrisdale 2634-L and tell him so ,

But try to make the meeting ,Don't forget : today, Tuesday at 12 :30 ,in Arts 101,

to Hoyle we are supposed to takeover on our own 20 . Well, we are al lstanding around looking at the balllying in our end zone waiting forthe referee—who is also standin garound looking at the ball—to mov eit out to our 20 like the book says ,when this guy from the other teamby the name of Dunn comes hustling

up and 'flakes out on the ball .The white class man comes to life

at this point, shoves his arms straigh tup and gives the Coyotes a touchdown

Apparently the rules are changed this

year . But cripes Ma, what can youdo against stuff like that ?WE'RE FRUSTRATED

This sort of slows us down a little ,Ma, and before we can get set agai nthis coyote halfback, one Tom Win-bigler, scores from close in on afake reverse .

(Winbigler's a good man, Ma . Hescored the first one too, after theycame through us for 80 yards follow-ing the opening kickoff . )

Rich Gardner kicks the convert, an d

we are getting a little bit peeved.Slowly the lethargy acquired durin g

that 700 mile bus trip begins to

seep out though Ma, and just beforethat half we start to play like a tea mthat all newspapers say we are.

Doug Reid and Murphy begin t opound out the yards on the groundand Fairleigh to Brewer begins tolook like a nice pass combination .The line holds its end too, Ma, an dafter 80 yards of struggle Fairleightosses a payoff pass to Brewer whois on the right side of the Coyote goa lline . Fairleigh adds the extra poin tand we leave at the half on the wea kend of a 20-7 count .

GREG'S ULTIMATUM

Greg gives his own special versio n

of a familiar ultimatum during th ebreak, Ma . But by the time the fourt h

quarter rolls around we were stil l

sitting on the pot and the coyotes

have added three more touchdowns .

Don Phelan gets the first one, Ma,

after we fumble close in . Gardnermakes good ' the convert and righ tcn top of this Al Erstrom makes u slook like chumps with a smooth 60yard touchdown gallop . Gardneragain kicks true and it is 34-7 goinginto the final .

The fourth frame is hardly underway, Ma, when Erstrom pulls anothe rsolo act—this time an off tackle smas hfrom 25 yards out—and Gardner agai nconverts.

We are not complaining though, Ma ,because we realize we are playin gunder adverse conditions . Crips, Ma,these Coyotes have been playing

American since they were eleve n

years old, they already had one game

under their belts this season and the ydidn't just complete a 700 mile bu s

trip .

We are still fighting in there in

the fourth quarter though Ma, an d

finally get a brciik when Phil Nixo n

recovers a fumble on the Coyote s

Coyote 30 . That's all we need, Ma, and

after Cox, Brewer and Mitchell hav epacked the ball to the Idaho thre e

yard line, Murphy plunges acros sfor our second touchdown .

But that is all we get, Ma, an djust before the gun, the Coyotes ge ttheir sevnth and Anal major . Bill yGarber scoring on a 30 yard pass fromHerb Immanake .

P .S . I known this is not our style ,Chick, but by now the news is stale ,

so what the hell .Al .
