DON ETTINGER IN LONDON
Pvt. Don Ettinger, a football and basketball sensation as a sophomore at the University last year, starred early this month in a basketball tournament which was staged in Royal Albert Hall, London.
Newsweek had this to say about the tournament. "From the outset it was apparent that there were only two strong teams in the competition, the London Base Command and the Grays. When they met in the finals the Grays were top heavy favorites. But London Base Command, sparked by a carrot topped center, Pvt. Don Ettinger, from Independence, Mo., and from the University of Kansas, took the lead in the first 5 minutes and never relinquished it." Ettinger's team won that final game, 52 to 43.
Over a thousand American troops and their British guests watched 16 service teams fight it out for the first basketball championship in the history of European theatre operations. From gilt-edged boxes, ordinarily occupied by members of the higher-up English class of people, soldiers gave referees a de luxe razzberry—most of the referees were army officers.
When the tournament was over "Stars and Stripes" the most famous service newspaper, gave the big event a subtle epitaph "A superduper athletic affair indeed—but we hope it doesn't become an annual event."
Former University athletes who were inducted into the Services about six weeks ago have been sent to various parts of the United States. Here are a few of those boys and their stations: Ray Evans, St. Petersburg, Fla.; Ralph Miller, Sheppard Field, Texas; Gene Sherwood, Gene Long, and Joe Roberts, Camp Roberts, Calif.; Otto Schnellbacher, Miami Beach, Fla.; Don Blair and Bill Brill, Fort McClellan, Ala.; and Floyd Svoboda, Fort Leonard Wood, Mo.
