To all who have the time and patience enough to get past Slipstick, I welcome you. As usual, a new semester brings a new sports editor, and a new line of hogwash. Last semester's editor, Marks Levy, finally graduated and bequeathed me the delightful (P) job of writing this column. Marks, by the way, was in the NROTC and therefore draft exempt. I understand he left Monday for a position on one of Uncle Sam‘s new destroyers Orchids to Tech’s basketball team for once again fooling the experts and coming up with a victory over a tough Chicago Teachers’ College squad. Our boys took and held the lead almost from the start to the last few seconds of the fourth period. In the overtime period the Techawks picked up almost twice as many points as the teachers. The only bad feature of the game was the accident which happened to John DeRoo. The latest word is that he has a chipped cheekbone. He was operated on yesterday and, although he won’t be able to play the rest of this season, he should be in fine shape by fall.
