where many Idaho basketball
hopes have died.
Coach Guy Wieks said Turner is
the best basketball player ne has
had in 10 years Of college coaching.
Turner went from Twin Falls, Ida,
high school 10 the university's
southern branch st Poactello.
where Wicks was then coach. He
came here a year ahead of Nieks,
who made his coast conference de-
but this season. Turner graduates
in June.
LEFTHANDED SHOOTER
The southpaw center. who is six
feet four and weighs 1s5. makes
most of his points with a left
handed pivot shot. and only Capt.
John Mandic of Oregon State has
been able TO adequately check him.
Turner was held to ID points in
the Oregon series at Moscow.
Mandic opposes Turner this
week end at Corvallis, and IL
the only foreseeable threat to
the Nandal's record-brealSing
chances. Mandic il the disis-
ions second high scorer, with
134, but he can have no am
hilton to overtake Turner since
only two games remain on the
Beaver schedule.
Turner will be the first Idahosn
to lead conference scoring since
Stowell in 1880. but it won't
be his first conference leading
achievement. He committed 43
personal fouls last year, more than
any other player. and has missed
the most free throws this year, 20.
He'd like to set a new scoring rec
ord. if for no other reason, just
to forget those two marks.

reasons prefers the nickname

All sports will be affected, but

failing great responsibility; and
the personnel Of the teams no
longer will be the concern of
only the faculty. Various draft
boards will have the final word
on eligibility.
These changes won't affect
the standard of competition, be-
cause all the colleges will be con-
fronted with the same handicaps.
But the necessary adjustments
will affect the sports writers,
mediums and operators of handi-
cap systems who spend most Of

game Is certain to loosen up

nations and more quick kicks.
These things lead TO upsets.
II freshmen are fitted into the
tackle slots before they have

maneuvers of the individual sys-
TENS, they are certain to make
mistakes. McLaughry, for in

And If a key player enlists in

army, a team can slump ire

1941 Dartmouth squad - over
and above those who would have
been graduated normally-have
been or will soon be indicted
