do little of it in the sports
field. too? Nobody ever has

but we still believe that it's easier
for people to understand one
another when they play the same
games than when they remain
total strangers. And the best
games we can think of for inter-
national competition are soccer
football and basket ball. Soccer
is known as the game that is
played in every country, and only
the United States apparently
doesn't give it the attention it
deserves. Basket ball is a local
product, but maybe our soldiers
and sailors will give it a good
start start in other countries.

CHICAGO. Jan. 5.-The new
year hasn't brought any change
in the luck to the University of
Chicago basket ball team - the
Maroons dropped their first game
of 1943 last night-running their
string of consecutive defeats to
25. Their 25th whipping was by
a decisive margin, $3.50, by De
Paul of Chicago.
The last time the Maroons won
a cage game was back in Decem-
Der, 194l, but they failed to win
20 additional engagements in the
1941-42 season and have dropped
five this season. They have only
nine Big Ten Conference games
on their schedule.
