EDITOR'S NOTES

Some of my boys saw the Southern California-Long Island U, fame.
They just were over-enthusiastic about the great "flip" shooting of
Ralph Vaughn, the terrific under-the-basket defensive work of Seward
Berg, the all-around aggressiveness of. Southern California, the great
‘set shooting of Long Island and the fine pass work of the latter.

~ Vaughn scored 19 points and played the whole zane without a versonal foul.

In New York last week, we wandered over to Madison Square Garden.
It was about eleven in the morning of a busy basketball doy for Ned Irish,
Ned dropped all his business, preeted me with a’fine smile and we talked
basketball in his office for at least fifteen minutes. Asking him to write
an article for our bulletin, he gladly said he would and that nieht at
_the games he came along with the news that is in this issue, Mr, Irish has
done A wonderful job in-boosting basketball; he certainly uses the coaches

great and he insisted on taking care of my tean, The Garden Basketball

floor is about perfect--the non-slippery finish--the lishting--the gloss
backboards--the uprishts to hold the baskets so as to prevent injurtes-—

the ball retrievers on the ends of the court--the scorers benches--the fine
electric boards--all tend to make for a wonderful set-up, Congratulations,
Mr, Irish for your great contribution to basketball, and you have given many
college youth of America a chance to see New York,
