Tip a ski to Bill Taylor and
Bud Barrett, College of Puget
Sound ski team members, for
their performances in the
intercollegiate four-way com
bined meet at Yosemite, CAL,
last week.
Although Bud had jumped only
once or twice and Bill never before
had taken off on skis into space,
they both finished well up among
the top jumpers at the tourns-
ment. Bud earned 1o1 points with
two standing jumps, which av-
eraged 70 feet, while Bill made
standing leaps OF 81 and 81 feet,
Their performance raised the
Loggers from seventh to fifth
place in the final standings
Thirteen schools participated.

California Floods

With Bud and Bill were Chuck
Swanson and Bob Taylor, Bills
brother, and Prof. p. II. Fehland.
The five Of them had lot Of
trouble getting to Yosemite. Cali
fornia floods forced them TO travel
about 500 miles more than neces-
sary Bud came back with
several parodies, including one on
Joyce Kilmer's Trees" which goes
something like this:
/ think that I shall neUer see
A stick as tricky as a ski.
Steer the darn thing as I a0ill
1t olioays leads me to a spill.
Down the hill all full of glee,
Ny God! I'm sunk, here
comes q tree.
Only God can make a tree,
But 1cho in the heck first

POLLING AROUND: Bob Van
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1940-03-09

Two outstanding results develop
ed from the voting. First, IL de-
veloped that two centers. not one,
had been chosen for the first team.
Raymond Arndt of Everett and
Vic Hulteen of Bremerton were
the only players receiving votes
for the post, and each was given
the same number. Thus, the first
team had two centers, while the
second had none.
The other noteworthy fact Is
that only one player, Merlin Gil
bertson Of Everett, was given
unanimous acclaim for a first
team position.
The voting, which involved all
six coaches Of the Cross-State lea
que, was done on the following
basis: Two points were given if
the player were selected on the
first team, and one IL he received
q second team decision.
Bob Cummins, Everett forward
Is points,. Cummins, standing 6
feet l inch, was the short man on
an Everett team which lowered
into the sky. Captain of the team,
he was consistent both in defen-
sive and offensive play, though
not high scorer.
Cliff Gaffney, Bellingham
forward q points,. The name
Gaffney virtually spells Bel
Bngham's success for this
small sharpshooting captain
was the sparkplug of the team.
He has been member Of the
team for the past three sea-
sons, and though he, like Cum
minis, was not an outstanding
scorer. his fine checking and
ball-handling was a factor In
Bellingham's earning second
place In Cross-State play.
Raymond Arndt, Everett center
20 points,. For the last two sea-
sons, Tiny" as he is called by his
teammates, has been outstanding.
Standing 6 feet 7 inches, Ray con-
trolls the blackboard with skill and
is a big gun in the Seagulls' Of
fensive.
Vic Hulteen, Bremerton center
20 points,. Vic, a senior. was the
big gun in Bremerton's attack this
year and will be missed by Coach
Ken Wills next year. Vic and
Arndt put on the battle of the
giants when the Wildcats clawed
into the seagulls. both players ex-
ceiling on defense and offense.
Merlin Bloody" Gilbertson, Eve
rett guard az points,. Smooth
floor work and sharp eye for the
basket made Body" the most
dangerous man in the league both
In offense and defense, and the
only unanimous choice for the all
Cross-State team. Gilbertson was
the high scorer of the Seagulls and
third highest in league standings
with 81 tallies.
Dexter Hutton, Lincoln
guard I'll points,. Missing q
unanimous choice by one vote.
Dexter was the backbone of
the Abes this season. His
shooting ability, which put him
In second place In scoring with
90 counters, pulled the Abes
out Of many a tight place and
helped them to cop third place
in the league.
On the second team there were
three forwards-Bill Gissberg,
Everett sharpshooter; George
Warter OF Stadium, who lead the
Cross-State league in scoring with
e6 points and Bud Miller Of Walla
Walla, a fine ball handler and
shooter. Each received five points.
In the second teams bsckcourt,
Yves Hudson of Stadium and Jack
Hubbard held sway. Hudson has
never been a high scorer, but his
