BETWEEN THE LIONS
You know, folks, this college
could use a lot more fellows like
Coach John Lawther around here
in these troubled times.
Only last week Lawther enter
tained very high hopes of sending
his basketball team into Madison
Square Garden to wallop high-fly
ing NYU.
But Monday night he lost
,ColcEg)fain John Egli, who
pOed,up with a bad Iprqiii . at
ppiCtice. AruL to fop git,
Egli's replacement, Bob Beck,
fouled himse l f out of the }4Y1.1

line, Dave Hornstein, followed
closely on Beck's heels. With his
sliding zone almost completely
stalled, Lawther switched Larry
Gent and Jim Lawther to the
guard spots.
Despite these terrific odds, the
boys made a fight of it all the way;
finally losing by a 49-40 score. 'Tis
.
said that some coaches have gone
off the deep end with less provo
cation than that, but not Lawther.
Last night I finally tiptoed into
Rec Hall after casing the place fOr
15 minutes, and found LaWther not
only smiling, but occasionally
laughing—he still believes 1943
has great possibilities.
