sum. however, will be deducted
from regular salaries. A player
who fails to make the team need

The players wanted a shorter

it would encourage more college

game. In the past many good

kind simple to erase. 1t was the

It says here that the sponsor
of "Duckpin Derby" has a lot
of reason TO be optimistic over
the l3-week series, which will
match the high ranking bowlers
of the area and perhaps some
with little or no rank. who may
become overnight sensations.
Tenpin shows have had a high
TV rating here ever since they
were introduced. but there's a
strong likelihood the duckpin
venture will outstrip them in
number of viewers. This is be-
cause Washington is a "duckpin
town" with an estimated 20
small ball rollers to one ten
lpinner.

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

Matters seem to be worse
than we've been told" suggests
q Washington. d. c.. reader.
How else do you explain this
lead sentence from q front-page
story on a leading New York
newspaper"
The sentence reads: Con-
gress is girdine for an ex-
haustive inquest into the Amer
lean missile and satellite
programs" - and my CORE
spondent underlines the word
inquest.
Wouldn't it," he goes on TO
ask. have been preferable to
use some such word as 'investi-
CATION rather than inquest
or are they indeed Just trying
to ind out where the body is
buried. to use the slang phrase?"
I'm inclined to agree that
this is a poor choice Of words.
The most common use of "in-
quest" is the phrase "coroner's
inquest" which customarily
means a judicial inquiry to seek
out the cause Of q suspicious
death. There is certainly
nothing dead" about our
missile and satellite programs.
Very likely the author Of
this dispatch was trying to
avoid the much overuSed
probe" but in substituting
inquest" he chose a word
whose semantic implications
were unfortunate. to say the
least.
Did you ever hear the word
"infracaninophile"? Well. I
had not heard 1t either until
my good friend. Charles Rice
Of This Week magazine. sprang
it on me the other noon. In
fracaninophile" was invented
by the late Christopher Morley.
he tells me, and means "one
who loves the underdog."
Inevitably. l. fear, this sug-
gests an appropriate name for
dog lovers whose complaint
about the Russians use OF
Laika in Sputnik II filled news
paper correspondence columns
recently. Wouldn't they qualify
as "supracaninophiles"?
