Michelangelo
Makes Debut
For Culture
The Titan, a film portraying the
life of Michelangelo, the famed
Italian sculptor of the Renaissance,
will be shown in the college chapel
on Friday evening, Oct. 10.
This is the first cultural council
activity planned for the 1958-59
school year. The council has in-creased
its program this year since
the budget has been increased. The
council will be allotted $1200 for
musical, art, and literary pro-grams.
According to Ronn Veenker, cul-tural
council chairman, these are
to be dressy occasions. It is hoped
that emphasizing the necessity for
dressing-up for the programs will
also have an influence on the
audiences' attitude.
KOACY Makes
Local Contact
Did BARC barf?
BARC did more than just go on
the air last Monday evening. BARC
went on television as well. This is
rather fast action and indeed a
quick rise to prominence for a sta-tion
of limited output which was
not even in existence last spring.
Hence it would appear that an ex-planation
is in order.
It seems that when BARC began
broadcasting for the first time a
lady down the street also had her
television set turned on. This set
lacked a necessary filter and con-sequently
station KOACY came in
loud and clear in the middle of her
favorite television program.
At first she was not perturbed
since the interruption took place
during a commercial but when her
program returned to the screen and
BARC continued to come over the
speaker the dear lady became de-cidedly
unhappy.
A call to Bethel soon rectified
the situation however. Mr. Francis
Wheeler, faculty advisor to BARC,
installed the necessary filter to
keep this homeowner from getting
her signals crossed.

Variables Related to Human
Breast Cancer by Dr. Anderson,
Dr. Harold 0. Goodman, and Dr.
Sheldon C. Reed is a report on a
survey conducted by the Dight
Institute for Human Genetics of
the University of Minnesota.
The object of the survey was to
determine what role, if any, here-dity
plays in the causation of hu-man
cancer.
Specifically two aspects were
considered: whether or not cancer
occurs more frequently among rel-atives
of breast cancer patients
(over what might be expected by
coincidence) and whether any fam-ily
tendency to cancer is for cancer
in any area of the body or for
cancer in one particular area or
site.
Studies began on this problem
in 1944. In 1948 Dr. Anderson join-ed
the Dight Institute and began
research for his doctoral thesis as
a part of thiq study.
At preseat Dr. Anderson is as-sistant
director of the Dight Insti-tute.
Dr. Olson translated from Swed-ish

Seminary Will
Go To Ihduhapi
For Retreat
Camp Ihduhapi on Lake Indepen-dence
is the site for seminary re-treat
on Oct. 6 and 7.
According to Edwin Omark,
dean of the seminary, this is a
time for the faculty and the en-tire
student body to become ac-quainted.
Therefore, the program
for the retreat is very informal
with few speakers.
Carl Lundquist, president of the
college, will be the main speaker.
Other activities will include dis-cussion
groups led by students and
members of the faculty, class
prayer groups, organizational
meetings, and recreation.
Registration for the seminary
was Sept. 29 and 30, and classes
began Oct. 1. Robert Mounce, pro-fessor
of Bible and Greek, was
speaker at the first chapel service
of the year.
Bethel's past—"Pages From the
Age"---is the theme fnr the alum-ni's
big event this year.
,Setting up the petition system
for choosing a Homecoming queen,
the committee hopes to establish
a tradition. According to Phil Pet-erson,
chairman, this method in-sures
the candidacy of any girl
who has attended Bethel for two
semesters. However, to qualify,
she must obtain a petittion with 25
signatures; candidates may be
sponsored by clubs and organiza-tions.
A panel of judges consisting of
W. H. Peterson, Clifford V. An-derson,
Thelma Fredrickson, Phil
Peterson, and Dwight Jessup will
eliminate all but five candidates.
The student body will then vote
on the Homecoming choice.
The controversy still rages between students with cars and neigh-bors
whose houses face Arona. Above Mrs. Melander and young son
David remonstrate Rog Carlson, college senior. In a future CLARION
the staff hopes to present interviews with homeowners in this neighbor-hood
concerning the problem of student-owned cars which are left over-night
in front of their houses.

Here's My Opinion Mr. Editor Graduate Views Past;
Was Victim A Martyr? Finds Values Changed
Dear Editor,
The word martyr has a fairly
definite meaning. It ,should be ap-plied
to a person who is killed or
suffers greatly for refusing to re-nounce
his belief or compromise
his principles. The killing or suf-fering
involved is deliberately in-flicted
on the martyr because of
his belief.
I do not think we should apply
the word martyr to Ralph Larson.
He was killed by a robber's bullet.
The murderer was interested in
plunder—not in his victim's belief.
Conceivably Ralph Larson could
have been killed in an auto acci-dent
while on the same errand
for the mission. Would we have
used the term martyr in that situa-tion
? Death from a bandit's bullet
or a crashing car is not really dir-ectly
related to belief.
The life and example of Ralph
Larson are powerful enough in
themselves to give inspiration. We
ought not confuse his outstanding
record by misapplying the term
martyr to him.

Meintzaurs was a little village
at the foot of the Austrian Alps.
The people of Meintzaurs possess-ed
one outstanding ability of which
they were proud—the ability to
make clocks. Clocks with pendu-lums,
cuckoo clocks, clocks for the
mantelpiece, clocks with chimes on
—all kinds of clocks. And every-one
in Meintzaurs owned a clock.
In the village there were three
main buildings, and on each one
there was placed a prominent clock
which had been made by the local
craftsmen. (They had been put
there in memory of Wilhelm Gun-derwutz
who died after breaking
the record for eating smoked rhu-barb
sticks.) They were there so
that everyone could check his own
private clock to make certain that
it told the correct time.
Now, Meintzaurs was also proud
of its political traditions. A town
meeting was held every week in
the town hall, which was right in
the center of the village. This
gathering took place at exactly
seven o'clock on Thursday even-ings,
and it was the duty of the
citizenry to be there at that pre-cise
hour. Those not there on time
That Understanding Look
Dear Editor:
Through the facilities of your
paper I would like to have the
opportunity to voice an opinion in
the form of an answer to a ques-tion
which I will propose myself:
What is Understanding?
Is it the ability to know just
who the "exuberant one" is trying
to impress?
Is it looking at the "immature
one" with that "someday he'll out
grow all of this foolishness" look?
Or is it as the Chinese poet
said, "Everything is changing but
the mountain and me!"
Does it mean, "I am the sage.
I am an understanding person, and
I realize the problems that you
are faced with and will be glad to
give you my humble advice with-out
laughing at you?"
It is all well and good to sit
back and chuckle or smile in pity
at the things around one. This
shows that one has the ability to
see internal turmoil as if this ex-perience
of emotional pain is no
were turned away and so lost their
vote.
A's weeks went by more and more
voters came late and were turned
away. This perplexed all the peo-ple
until one bright individual not-iced
that all three clocks gave dif-ferent
times. The town-hall clock
was fastest, and as this was the
standard of time in Meintzaurs all
other clocks were "slow." So it is
easily seen that those who took
their time from the other clocks
came late. How were they to know
their clocks were wrong ? They
couldn't. But yet they lost their
vote. Now, don't you think this was
silly and wrong?
The people of Meintzaurs thought
so too and appointed a keeper of
the clocks whose duty it was to
synchronize the three time-pieces.
Ah, sensible people, they.
By the way, did you know that
we have a similar problem here
at Bethel ? In all campus buildings
(excluding Hagstrom) no two
clocks read alike. If all did read
alike then we would have happy
students; on-time students; more
responsible students. Also, I
wouldn't miss breakfast by one-half
minute.

CLARION Wants Mail
Readers of this newspaper are
requested to submit their opinions
on any subject, included in the
paper or not, in the form of let-ters
to the editor. These letters
can be an effective means of ex-pression
for those individuals who
are concerned about various issues
and would like to make some com-ment

Letters should be signed and

Here begins, occasionally, a slight-ly
ironic, semi-satiric commentary
on life in general, and, more fre-quently,
events and happenings on
the Bethel scene in particular.
The Student Senate, Bethel's
version of the House of Commons,
held its budget meetings recently.
Out of the numerous debates which
this subject usually engenders has
come one of the more thoroughly
prepared proposals for a financial
program in recent years.
Perhaps the most dramatic ele-ment
of this budget is the percent-age
increase over budgets of pre-vious
years. This is as important
an event as giving freshmen the
vote, an action which conservative
scholars still claim should not have
been taken.
It has long been apparent that
the effectiveness of the Senate
was severely limited because of
budget restrictions. In the past
many worthy endeavors could not
be undertaken because of insuffi-cient
finances. In effect this has
by Robert Reed
As a recent graduate, I look
on my college experience at Bethel
in retrospect and am quite amazed
at some of the changes which have
occurred in my ideas, ideals, atti-tudes,
and values. This matter of
values is my subject.
As an entering freshman, I did
not generally distinguish between
those values which are relative
and those which are absolute. But
as a student of history I now
recognize that a set of economic,
or political, or social values which
were accepted by some as absolute
in their time would be anachron-istic
today. Few people, even in
America, would like to see the re-establishment
of laissez faire cap-italism
as it existed in the nine-teenth
century. Almost everybody
claims to be against the aristo-cratic
society of the eighteenth
century or of the Old South. And
today everybody cheerfully ad-relegated
the Senate to a subor-dinate
position: how can policy be
dictated when there is no way to
support the various programs de-manded?
Now it appears that the Senate
can begin to assume those respon-sibilities
and powers which rightly
belong to it. And the entire student
body should benefit from any in-crease
in authority which the Sen-ate
may receive because, in a large
sense, the Senate is the student
body.
A cautionary note perhaps needs
to be sounded at this point. While
there are great possibilities for
the Senate to assume a position of
greater strength and importance in
campus affairs, and while the po-tential
for development in the co-curricular
program is equally
great, unless intelligent leadership
is exercised in every situation right
choices will not be made and policy
will be determined by default.
In order to make the best use
of the opportunities which the new
budget makes available, each stu-dent
must participate in at least
mits that it is the right of all the
people to choose our public offi-cials
and that the principle of uni-versal
sufferage is absolute after
all.
It is not my purpose to label
as relative all the distinctions we
make between good and bad in our
economic, political, social, and even
religious values. Rather we, who
accept the name of Christian,
should continually examine those
things which we believe and live
by in the light of the absolute
principles laid down by Christ and
make those adjustments to our
society which will enable us to
live as Christ intends.

Summer, with its delightful lack
of duties and pressures, has pass-ed,
and with it has gone many a
style prediction of last spring.
The cool, crisp fall air has turned
the world to harvest hues, and we
are blending into the world around
us.
Colors are vital this fall! Siam-ese
pink, orange brandy, and jade
green and blue are some of the
names given to these brisk, bold
shades. They are being combined
in luscious plaids or tartans and
muted in paisley prints.
The campus look is sweaters
straight and long, skirts deeply
pleated and short, and legs from
there down. Looped mohair or long
hair sweaters are keeping the stu-dent
body warm this winter. The
short skirts of a brushed wool
fabric reveal leotards which are a
second skin and feel like velvet.
When slipped into a boat-shoe and
topped off with a brilliant head-ache
band, this outfit will be the
big love of your campus life.
If this outfit should inspire an-other
big love, remember this for
date time—the waistline is off the
middle. Either it's high up and
the beginning of a trapeze skirt,
or it's low down—and don't forget
to buckle your seat belt. With your
tinted nylons and pointed toe shoes
you're sure to rate some lingering
looks.

one major activity and each leader
must work to make these activities
conform to the goals of the Senate
and the college.
The cultural council is, facing a
dilemma these days which, while
not extremely serious yet, poses
an interesting question. In sched-uling
events the council has to de-cide
what is cultural and what is
only entertaining. Now the ideal
cultural event, it is assumed, will
also be entertaining to a certain
extent. But entertainment, as many
know all too well, is not necessar-ily,
or generally, cultural. Thus
arises the dilemma.
There is also a problem that some
cultural possibilities may be over-looked
because no one recognizes
their true nature. And again much
of what is passed off as being
cultural these days is not really
even entitled to the claim. Con-sequently
the cultural council is
being cautious in approaching any-thing
which could possibly make
a future appearance on campus.

Birth of a Nation will be shown
at the Walker Art Institute to-night.
This movie, released in 1915,
was directed by David W. Griffith,
center of motion picture gravity
in the silent era.
In his picture, which is consid-ered
a classic, Griffith shows the
agonies that the South endured
during the Reconstruction days.
(Griffith himself was from the
South.)
On its original release in '15,
Birth was acclaimed in both North
and South except for certain ban-nings
and riots in Boston and a
few other cities.
Birth of a Nation also establish-ed
interest in the motion picture
novelty which later went on to
become an industry of such magni-tude
as to have one of the greatest
ever influences on world thought.
(It is thought for instance that
this movie directly brought about
a return of the Ku Klux Klan in
the Twenties.)
There will be two free showings
tonight—one at 7 and one at 9.
Walker Art Institute is located
at 1710 Lyndale avenue south in
Minneapolis.

the forerunner of a regular column
to appear in the CLARION. Watch

Far East:
The American people were re-cently
warned by President Eisen-hower
that a military defense of
Quemoy and Matsu involving some
use of American forces might be
necessary for the ultimate interest
of the free world. If this is true,
it is a most sobering conclusion
especially in the light of several
considerations listed here.
First, it is clear that Communist
China cannot be expected to re-lieve
her attacks and pressure on
these islands except temporarily,
for no great power can permit a
militantly hostile force to occupy
islands immediately on its coast.
,Second, it seems agreed that if
the Red government of China de-cides
to pay the price for captur-ing
the islands, it will be success-ful.
Only massive nuclear warfare
by American forces or by Nation-alist
forces with direct American
support could stop the conquest.
Third, the USSR has repeatedly
and decisively stated its intention
to support its Chinese allies in this
issue.
Fourth, the strategic value of
these islands for the defense of
Formosa is apparently negligible.
Also few authorities are arguing
at this point that the islands are
likely to be used in the foresee-able
future by the Nationalists in
their long-awaited invasion of the
Red mainland.
Fifth, America's Atlantic and
Pacific allies for the most part
seem to be unconvinced that the
Eisenhower analysis is sound, and
the "neutral nations", such as
India, are flatly opposed to pres-ent
American policy statements on
the contested islands.
Lastly, it becomes increasingly
clear that both the American poli-tical
leaders and the public are
divided on the matter.
The president's position — that
the Free World can retreat at no
point—is forceful in the abstract.
However, in the concrete case of
these islands, the position has pro-duced
serious challenge an the part
of thoughtful men. Some of these
men deny the presidential conten-
Gil Dodds, head coach for track
and cross-country at Wheaton col-lege,
Wheaton, Ill., and former
holder of the world's record for
the indoor mile for 11 years, will
speak at the Homecoming pro-gram.
Crusader teams are run annually
in the Chicago Daily News relays
where Dodds has often officiated
and narrated the Banker's Mile
race which is broadcast around the
world.
Dubbed the "Flying Parson" and
"King of the Milers" by newsmen
who respected both his athletic
achievements and his religious
earnestness, Dodds climaxed a
brilliant track career in 1948 when
he flashed to a new standard for
the indoor mile at the Millrose
games in New York City's Madison
Square Garden breaking his own
mark set in 1944 in Chicago. He
covered the distance in four min-utes,
five and three-tenths seconds.
The record was broken in 1955
by Wes Santee of Kansas univer-sity
who did it in 4:03.8. A week
later Gunner Nielson of Denmark
established 'a newer mark of 4:
03.6. Dodds regards both better
performance as "signs of prog-ress."
Highlights of Dodds' running
career was the winning of the Sul-livan
award in 1943, presented to
the amateur athlete who had done
the most to advance the cause of
sportsmanship during the year. In
1947 he received the annual track
writer's trophy for outstanding
contribution to the sport.
Dodds' average all-time record
for eight years of Bi-.Tim'e com-petition
is slightly under 4:10. He

tion 'that the Munich situation of
1938 is a proper parallel.
In view of this challenge here
and abroad, it is important that
the American government and pub-lic
(and American college students)
begin a soul-searching debate on
Far East policy. It is essential that
the conclusions of this debate can
be made convincing to the free
world.

of educational service to the read-ers,

ran more races under 4:10 than
any other miler in history up to
his time and wan 30 out of 37
races in Big-Time running.
Dodds' best known protege in
recent years is Japanese star
Kikuo ("Cookie") Moriya who won
the National Collegiate two-mile
in 1954.
Dodds is a graduate of Ashland
college ('41), Ohio. He earned his
bachelor of divinity degree from
Gordon seminary ('45), Boston,
Mass., and his master's degree in
Christian education from Wheaton
college ('48). He has added a mas-ter's
degree in education from
Northwestern university ('54).
World Missions Fellowship has
been selected as the new name for
the missionary fellowship group
on campus. This organization was
formerly called Foreign Missions
Fellowship.
The winning name was submitted
by Clyde Thomas, college junior,
and voted on by the executive
board of the organization.
According to Roger Erickson,
WMF president, this name was
chosen because it offered a broad-er
view of the mission field than
the previous name.
He stresses the fact that em-phasis
will still be on foreign mis-sions,
however the field of home
missions will also be included more
than previously.
Along with this inclusion of
home missions a Home Missions
prayer group has been added to
the four already organized. The
other prayer groups include Near

Enrollment at Bethel, as with
most other colleges, is increasing
every year. This year the official
enrollment is 540 as compared
with the 486 last year.
The freshman class is the largest
on campus with 214 members. The
sophomore class numbers 159,
there are 86 juniors, while the
senior class is the smallest with
58. There are also 14 unclassified
students and nine post graduates
on campus.
Sixteen denominations other than
Baptist are represented by the
student body. However, they are
in the minority as there are 450
Baptists. This includes all the var-ious
Baptist groups.
Bethel students come from all
over the globe. There are 26 states
represented and also students from
Canada, England, and Spain. Min-nesota,
Illinois, Iowa, and Michigan
are the four states most widely
represented.
One item which might interest
the women an campus—there are
300 men and 240 women enrolled.

Royals In 13-7 Win
Snare BGC Opener
Our boys, the Royals, won their
first game in the newly formed
Badger - Gopher Football Confer-ence.
The victims were the mem-bers
of the Northwestern (Water-town,
Wis.) college team on Sep-tember
27 at Watertown. The ST.
PAUL SUNDAY PIONEER
PRESS said that Bethel took a
two-touchdown lead in the first
half and staved off a second-half
Northwestern rally. This was not
exactly the case. Bethel did go off
to a two touchdown lead, and also
dominated the second half, but
couldn't get that ball across the
goal because of penalties, fumbles,
and other ineptitudes.
From the opening kick-off the
Royals were the stronger team.
Their total offense in the game
was 393 yards, 249 of which were
gained in the second half. Bethel
scored all of their 13 points in
the first half, scoring a touchdown
in each quarter. The touchdown
scored in the first quarter came on
a fullback slant by Paul Evans.
He also scored the point after
touchdown on a counter-trap play
over center. The second touchdown
was scored on a dive play by Don
Sension carrying the ball into the
end zone.
Bethel was bothered by a num-ber
of little problems—seven fum-bles
( only two of which were re-covered
by the opposition, but
still, wasted plays), 70 yards worth
of penalties, and a legal touchdown
scored by the Royals which was
not allowed. Late in the fourth
quarter, Northwestern completed
a pass, but the receiver was im-mediately
tackled by Paul Evans
and fumbled. Ken Baird scooped
up the ball and ran 42 yards to
an apparent touchdown. But the
officials, who were uninformed of
Badger-Gopher Conference rules
allowing such a maneuver, blew the
whistle on the play and insisted
that the ball was dead on the 42
yard line of Northwestern.
But, obviously, things were not
all bad for Bethel Saturday. They
gained 56 yards on four of seven
attempted passes. On the rushing
side, the Royals averaged 5.4 yards
per play, a respectable average.
The Bethel men acquired 13 first
downs as compared with their op-ponents
seven. They held North-western
to 126 yards on the ground
and 57 yards via the air route.
The idea of a game captain was
inaugurated Saturday. Before the
game, the team elected Paul Evans
as their choice for the day to
assist team captain Stu Luckman.
Paul proved himself worthy by
leading Bethel's backs in rushing.
He averaged 7.9 yards per carry
while gaining a total of 159 yards.
The Royals signal caller, Ken
Baird, who plays both quarterback
and halfback, gained 113 yards in
26 carries, a 4.3 average.
The Royals next game will be
played with Mason City at night
on October fourth at Hamline
stadium.

Booming in hard for a tackle,
an unidentified Hamline ball play-er
demonstrates good body posi-tion.
To stop the runner and to
prevent him from breaking free or
falling forward, thereby gaining
extra yards, the tackler must hit
the ball carrier low, hard, and
fast, with head and shoulders in
the runner's mid-section.
Bethel-Mason City
In 1st Home Game by Dave Hagfeldt
Bethel will face Mason City and North Park in its first two home
games of the '58 season. Hamline field will be the sight of the grid
battles with each other to begin at 8 o'clock.
In last year's stint in Mason City, the Royals were nosed out by
one touchdown when it could have easily gone either way. Scouting re-ports
indicate that City has improved (as well as Bethel) and looked
very good in their opening game victory.
North Park will be a new school for the Royals to face yet there
is a sense of rivalry and tension
mounting as the game nears.
After taking their first confer-ence
game from Northwestern,
Bethel's grid future looks promis-ing.
In the backfield we have Paul
Evans at fullback, a 190 pounder
who broke through Northwestern's
line for a total of 159 yards and
earned a 7.9 average per carry.
Jerry Oas is also a strong threat
at full whenever called upon.
At quarterback are Ken Baird,
sophomore, who played one year
of semi-pro ball, and letterman,
Les Borms, who does most of the
passing. At halfback are Dave
Gordh, the Royals triple threat-man,
and Don Sension, Dennis
Sundeen, and Del Hudson.
Line play is 'anchored by Neil
Christenson, a returning letterman
and freshman John Carlson at
center. At the guards are Lance,
Dailey and letterman Bob Rey-nolds
who are backed up by letter-man,
Don Johnson, and La Reau
Carlson.
Tackle positions are ably filled
by veteran Stu Luckman, 220
pounds, and Ray Shepherd, who
weighed in at 210. Tackle reserves
include Wayne Carlson and Stan
Johnson. End positions are cap-ably
handled by experienced men
in Jack McNaughton, 190 pound
letterman, Denny Nerstad, defen-sive
strong man, Art Erickson,
and Dick Abrahamson.
Head football coach Lynn Lun-din
and backfield coach Dave Dil-lon
are confident of a winning sea-son.

Mi 5-2424
by C. N. Elven
Women and football, more often than not, seem to have a hard
time comprehending one another. Now note, I didn't say football
players—that, of course, would be ridiculous.
In a recent game I overheard one of the most fair exclaim, "Our
team gets one point for kicking it through those white poles and they
get three points for the same thing." The lass in comment knew
nothing about the field goal (3) or the extra point place kick (1), even
though she has lost her voice sev-eral
times screaming at just such
occasions throughout her high
school days.
I ventured to question (about
football) one of Bethel's gentle
ones and, henceforth, exerted great
effort in trying to explain the
rudiments of the game. She said
the P.A. keeps blasting first down
this and first down that—what
does it mean?—first time they all
fall down! I began to laugh at
the feminine description of blocks
and tackles, then realized that this
is essentially what happens. So I explained that when a team gets the
ball they have four chances to move the ball 10 yards; each chance to
move the ball is called a down. When the team receives the ball, it is
said to be first and ten (first down and ten yards to go). As they
move the ball, say three yards, it will be second down and seven yards
to go. If the team moves the ball 10 or more yards in four or less tries
they get to start all over again which makes it first and ten again.
She said, where does all this kicking come in. You mean punting,
I said. Yea, (poor English) that's the one.
Now suppose the team was a long way from a touchdown and it
is fourth and eight. If they run or pass and don't make their eight
more yards the other team gets the ball. This leaves the quarterback
the choice of either trying to make the yardage or punting the ball as
far away from the goal line they are defending as possible. He will
usually kick—the farther the better. That's why a kicker is so important
to a team.
Then she said, I know that those men in black and white striped
shirts are there for a purpose, but what are those red hankies they
keep throwing in the air ? Then to top it off, to get everyone's atten-tion
they start waving their arms and kicking their legs in all different
ways.
Slow down, I said, they are the officials, just like umpires for base-ball.
When a rule is broken the man throws the hankie in the air
usually in the direction of the infraction and the arm and leg move-ment
is a signal to the scorers and fans which indicates the nature of
the infraction.
To which the young lady said OH, and walked away.
The Needle
Who goes there? We should have beaten them by 30 points ...
What do you know? We are on the top of the league ... To score in
the first three minutes of the game isn't too bad ... McNaughton played
his usual good game as he snared three passes ...Coach L. L. says, "We
played a whale of a ball game, just fumbled seven too many times;
maybe our backs should carry a football to class" ... Captain Stu Luck-man
mentioned that last year's total loss to Mason City was real close
and expressed confidence that the team will be ready to turn the tables
in Saturday night's opener ... With the team back to full strength, except
for some cracked ribs and bruises which aren't extremely disabling, the
Royals should toe strong, ready, and willing this week-end ... Miss
Bardahl of Seattle and Maverick of Lake Mead will fight it out for the
National Hydroplane Championship on Mead in mid-October.
