play in Pullman was too long. Besides, it
was broken into by final examinations and
Easter vacation.

Stanford’s combination man-to-man and
zone style of play, however, baffled the Cou-
gars, who at the same time were forced to
put two men on Luisetti, holding him to
eight points.

The Cards came from behind in the final
three minutes of the first game to win by
three points after the two teams had been
tied 14-14 at half time. Four minutes before
the close of the half Stanford had led 14
to 7.

Led All the Way

Although the second game was closer in
the final count of 41-40, Stanford led all
the way from the latter part of the first
half, sometimes by the margin of only a
single point but always enough. Either Lui-
setti, Turner or Calderwood, who scored 32
points among them in this encounter, came
in with field goals whenever the Cougars
threatened to draw abreast.

While congratulations were being voiced
on the return to the team next year of the
majority of the first string players and the
addition to the squad of promising material
from the championship freshmen, only one
“sour” note was sounded for the 1938 season.

Possibility loomed that John Bunn would
be offered the directorship of athletics at
University of Kansas, a position he admitted
he would seriously consider accepting. Press
dispatches from Lawrence, Kansas, at the
time these lines were written indicated that
Bunn’s name was at the head of the list of
candidates the University was considering.

HANK IS PICKED

Angelo (Hank) Luisetti, Stanford’s Pub-
lic Benefit No. 1, was chosen on March 8 by

metropolitan basketball writers in New York _

as the “finest visiting player to perform in
New York during the season.”

Only one writer declined to pick Luisetti.
He gave as his reason the fact that he had
not seen Luisetti play. Hank was given credit

for almost singlehandedly breaking up Long .

Island University’s record string of 42 suc-
cessive victories.

VOWERS MADE MILLION

Receipts from athletic activities at Stan-
ford during the reign of the “vowing sopho-
mores” passed the million dollar mark for
the three-year period, the Board of Control
has announced. The receipts were $285,399
in 1933; $345,415 in 1934, and $338,455 in
1935. Additional revenues came from con-
cessions and program sales.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

 

A PLEASURE

Dear Buck: Enclosed find $12 represent-
ing my contribution to TBMC. It is a
pleasure to see Stanford going forward.

LAWRENCE FRANK, 17,
Los Angeles.

Business before pleasure, always, the Buck-
keeper would like to see other Buckklubbers
forget to forget, and get in dues.

THIS ONE DID

Tom: Didn’t know I was so far behind.
Keep up the good work.

Hernie Huiskamp,
Keokuk, Iowa.

Far behind in work, the Buckkeeper will.
try to keep it good.

WHOLE FAMILY IN_

Dear Tom: Here’s another $12 just to
make the family unanimous. Wish there
were more of us but that’s all there is. Good
luck to the Buckkeeper and may his reserve
never lose what his waistline gains!

Rocer EHRMAN,
Menlo Park.

To the many Ehrmans a fervent wish
from the Buckkeeper there were many more,
as he has previously wished for more of the

- Santa Paula Teagues, all Buckklubbers.

GOOD STANDING CONTINUED
Dear Tom: Just so I will continue to be a
member in good standing, I enclose dues for
a new member—A. W. Warner of Chicago.
GARDINER SYMONDS, 724,

Chicago, III.
Other Bucks please note how few members
kept in good standing this month, as indi-

cated by list of new members on page 4.

OLD MASTER JOINS
Dear Tom: Enclosed find membership for
Dr. Forrest C. (Phog) Allen, basketball
coach, University of Kansas. Doc, inci-
dentally, is my old basketball coach. He is
in the market for players as much as we are
and needs some funds. However, Jack Cal-
derwood sold him on the idea of the TBMC.
Joun W. Bunn,
Stanford University.
To Brother Buck Allen of Lawrence,
Kansas, double-duty thanks for donation
both of Buck and Bunn.

TWO-WAY THANKS
Dear Tom: Thanks a lot for the gentle
reminder. One could not possibly be of-
fended on receiving a notice for such a

worthy cause. My son will be joining soon.
B. S. DAMEREL.
Thanks, father; welcome, son; no offense
other notice-receiving Bucks.

VOICE VIA VENEZUELA

Buckkeeper: Just a note to tell you to
change my address, since I will be running
around in the Argentine for the next few
months and am not sure I will get back to
this end of the Continent.

In a December bulletin I noticed a letter
from Buck Klauber of San Diego suggesting
the paper be sent to all paid-up members of
the alumni association and contributing $5
for postage. I believe his idea an excellent
one and I am enclosing my check for the
same amount to carry on this work.

Harvey L. Drew,
Maracaibo, Venezuela.

COUPLA COMPLAINTS

Dear Tom: What is this I hear about
you resigning? I realize that from your per-
sonal point of view every possible cause can
exist making it seem advisable for someone
else to shoulder the burden. However, with
scholarships in such a precarious way, I feel
a change at this time would be a detriment.
I am all set to start a movement to draft you

against your own wishes.

Louis R. VINCENTI,
Pasadena.
Dear Tom: I understand you were think-
ing of giving up the secretaryship of the
club. I can understand your reasons there-
for, as I know it takes a great deal of your
time. Personally, I will be sorry if this comes
to pass, as I feel the success of the club has
been, in large measure, the result of your
activities.
H. G. JorcENsEN,

Salinas.
With modest blushes for kind words, the
Buckkeeper nonetheless feels a change will

benefit both Club and Clubwielder.

WE GOT IT ANYWAY

Dear Tiny: I am one of those lads who
cheered you all the way from the back-
ground and who has prayed for victories
over our all too well organized opposition,
but have done nothing actively to assist you
and your hard-working henchmen.

May I take this opportunity to tell you
that I personally think you have done a
