General AMS Meeting ARMORIES 12:30 p.m. Today The Ubyssey General AMS Meeting ARMORIES 12:30 p.m. Today VOL. XXXII VANCOUVER, B. C. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1949 No. 2H Time For Some Change (3rd EDITORIAL) The Ubyssey believes that an intelligent plan to aid deserving athletes financially is both necessary and desirable. We believe that the twin goals of better football teams and higher student morale can be reached without the sacrifice of academic standards. There is no law that says athletes must be nothing more than a physical machine with the intelligence of a Neanderthal. There have been many Ail-Americans who also made Phi Beta Kappa. Any scholarship plan, to succeed at UBC, must of necessity be limited to making things easier for the local talent to attend university. It is unlikely that at any time within the forseeable future that UBC will be in a position to compete wth American schools in the competition for recruits. Elsewhere on this page there is a story which details the number and types of athletes who have left these parts to seek fame and education at American schools. It is our belief that the cause of ,UBC athletics could well be served by keeping these athletes here. i The first step in this direction is to reach each prospective student personally, and explain to them the value of attending an institution such as UBC that can offer so much academically. Our faith in the intelligence of athletes is such that we be* lieve that nine out of 10 would accept tuition here rather than tuition, room, board, books and a clock winding job at a school from which a degree means nothing. Any scholarships given at UBC should require that an athlete have the minimum academic requirements to enter. If his marks warrant he should be given a better scholarship. In the case of an athlete with a bare base average his scholarship should be limited to tuition. Where marks are second class the scholarship should entail books in addition to fees. Any athlete who has a first class average could also be given room and board. These scholarships are only the first step, however. If Bobby Williamson were here at UBC it wouldn't do the Thunderbirds any good if he had labs at practice time. The Ubyssey does not suggest that athletes be given special privileges. But it does seem feasible that any person who is willing to put in 15 hours a week for the honor of the school should be given the opportunity to make up labs at the end of the season. Scholarships of the type mentioned should be awarded by the university and listed in the Calendar. Paying off athletes under the table might win games but it would result in the loss of certain ideals. Fundamentally, university sport is amateur sport depend- ^mli^m^Ma^ —— - ■■■ In British Columbia those interested have been continuously rebuffed In their efforts to aid university sport. But if the university continues its present athletic program, the interested parties will find ways of aiding it. If such dealings take the pattern they have in American schools we can look forward to the day when we have winning teams completely subsidized by off-campus groups, to the detriment of the university generally. Keeping sport in its true perspective is thc job of an enlightened administration. The university should accept such aid as is offered with no strings attached. Otherwise it should ban intercollegiate athletics. Scholarships for deserving athletes paid for by private donations should be acceptable to the university. A subsequent editorial will outline the plan for raising such aid. 1500 Students Must Attend AMS General Meeting In Armories Two Years' Wait Professor's Libel Suit Befoie H. of Lords Experience of University of British Columbia botany professor Vladimir Krajina may "drive" Britain into changing her laws governing diplomatic immunity. ** . ...... T>..- i-J *l.:.. ..*..*,._ i. ... _.. Canadian Press reported this state ment made by Lord Chancellor Viscount Jowitt in a House of Lorda debate Wednesday. Professor Krajina filed libel charges in London two years ago against Tass, Russian news-agency. Suits were unsuccessful because Tass proved its immunity as a state organ. WAR HERO Libel suits were based on printed accusations made by the agency against Professor Krajina, who was described during i'he House of Lords debate as a Czechoslovakian war hero. In an interview with the Ubyssey yesterday, Professor Krajina said that his libel charges were based on an article in a Tass journal stating that he had betrayed English paratroopers during Che war. ARTICLE FALSE This article, "designed to spoil my living conditions in England," was completely false, he said. Professor Krajma's capture by the Gestapo, during which the Tass-tcrmed betrayal supposedly took place, did not happen until two weeks after the capture of the paratroopers. Articles published by Tass news agency during tlie Communist Putsch in Czechoslovakia stated that com munist activities in that country were backed by the USSR, Professor Krajina said. INTERVENTION "When Dr. Papanek, Czechoslovakian j delegate to the UN, protested the Putsch, ho cited these articles to I prove Russian intervent'ion. Russian denial of interference charges was based on the statement j that Tass was a private agency and ; did not represent USSR views, Professor Krajina continued, i But when the Professor's libel suit i appeared before the British courts, jTass produced documents and witnesses to prove that it was a part of the Russian embassy, and therefore diplomatically immune. i.IMMUNITY British court procedure was in accordance with "democratic justice," Professor Krajina .said. However, the law giving immunity to publications ! of foreign governments "is an old law, apd does not conform to the times." I "I hope that at least my actions will lead to amendment of this law. and that they will not be allowed to publish, any lie this side of tlie Iron Curtain," he said. SATURDAY LAST DAY FOR TOTEM GRADUATION PROOFS Saturday is deadline for returning Totem graduating proofs to Krass Studios, 569 Granville. Grads who have not returned proofs by closing time Saturday will have their pictures chosen arbitrarily, Totem editors said today. "Pictures must reach the engravers before mid-December," said editor-in-chief Jim Banham, "and it is therefore essential that the proofs be returned immediately. NFCUS Plan Debate Final With Quebec First Presentation of Macdonald- Laurier Trophy to Winning Group TORONTO, NOVEMBER 22 — (CUP) — First all-Canadian University debating competition is planned, Toronto Chairman of National Federation of Canadian University Students has announced. * Debating finals will be held at University of Ottawa, Canada's only bilingual university. For the first time, winners of the Villeneuve trophy, emblematic of Quebec debating supremacy, will be included in the finals. Trophy presented will be called the "Macdonald-Lauricr Trophy," in honor of two former Canadian prime ministers. TRAVEL REPORT Continuing his report on national NFCUS executive meeting, chairman Tom Symons said that the executive decided only ship travel will be practicable for most university students travelling abroad next summer. Executive had learned that there might in future be reasonable tourist rates lor air travel overseas. However, plan could not be implemented until after next summer. FURTHER REPORTS Reporting on national executive's discussion of the Quebec Seminar, Symons stated that it would probably be held in Montreal. Representatives from individual NFCUS groups across Canada would be selected on basis of interviews, letters of recommendation and scholastic ability. Together with Symon's report, University of Toronto committee heard report of Owen Jones, head of subcommittee investigating possibilities of student union on the campus. Song Book Still on Sole in Bookstore One of th<? most ambitious projects ever undertaken by the UBC Student Publications Board is still on sale at the UBC Book store. It is the UBC Song book, production of which was undertaken two years ago by David Morton. The monumental task of assembling, editing and illustrating the book took more than a year. Book contains UBC songs as well as college songs from other nations.

Undergraduate Societies Support Ubyssey Stand on Athletic Problem Undergraduate Societies Committee has taken a stand against the motion of Men's Athletic Directorate which will appear for student approval at general meeting today. Meeting which well be held at 12:30% • p.m. today in the Armories, is being I MAD motion suggests that those who held by Students' Council to obtain | break this law be fined $5 and at student opinion on the regulation I ,. ,. ,-..,. ., : continuance to disregard it that they which states that no student may play for an outside team without first ' bc sent to the administration for con- .applying to MAD for permission. sidcration of suspension, USC Supports Ubyssey USC said, "Wc support thc Ubyssey's conviction that the way to induce athletes to play on our team Is to offer them us good a deal as they can get en outside teams—not to use force. "Thc Men's Athletic Directorate has asked for permission to enforce two things: that any student who plays for an outside team must first apply for permission from MAD to do so. Upon failure, he may suffer a five dollar fine and'or expulsion from thc university. "Also that any student who plays for an outside team in spite of refused permission shall be fined five dollars, and uf.on repeated offence, shall suffer expulsion from the university." » "The MAD has said that it's intention is to insure every athlete's applying for MAD permission. It has been said lhat it does not intend to use the regulation to force students to play for UBC unwillingly." "The purpose of this move, according to Hilary Wotherspoon, is to make certain the MAD's knowledge of the whereabouts of certain players, and to encourage them to turn out on teams next year, 1500 Students Must Attend "The USC believes that if the only purpose of MAD is, as they say, to insure their knowing the whereabouts of players, and to encourage them to try out in the following year, a five dollar fine is quite sufficient. Certainly, no student should be expelled for failure to fill out an MAD form, or for failure to write the MAD a letter." "The USC also believes that if there i.s any underlying purpose in the move namely, to force students to play for UBC teams who do not desire to play on them, then any power which we give to MAD to enforce such a regulation is unwisely and unjustly given, and constitutes an infraction of the rights of every student of this uni- 1 versity, especially in view of thc fact that in order to obtain a university ; education in British Columbia, it is impossble to avoid becoming a member of AMS." "USC believes that every violator of the AMS code has a right to be I tried by unbiased persons." Jim Sutherland, AMS persident, ; told the Ubyssey that at least 1500 students must be present at the mcet- : ing to arrive at any decision on tho ; motion put forth by MAD. Case which set off campus con- ' troversy concerning the power M MA'£> was that of Cal Oughton, well-known hockey player from Calgary who I failed to comply with thc rule. Institute Establishes Sedgewick Memorial Fund Memory of Dr. G. G. Sedgewick, late authority on Shake- sperian literature, will be perpetuated by the setting up of a memorial fund. At a recent meeting. Vancouver In-^ stitute elected Mrs. John Creighton chairman of Fund committee. Professor William Robbins was elected secretary, and Mr. Hairy Purely, treasurer. Organization of the Memorial Fund is outcome of an increasing demand on the part of University students, and people throughout the province. According to Mrs. Creighton, funds raised will be used ''for the sponsoring of an outstanding lecfurer one year, and in following years for loans to students in literature or music, for purchasing paintings for a permanent art snd music collection," Main object of the fund will be "to perpetuate the interests that were Dr. Sedgewick's." "Dr. Sedgewick was extremely interested in the Institute and did h great deal to promote its development as an important' public attraction. "Students of UBC will be benefactors of the fund in a way that Dr. Sedgewick would most certainly have approved whole-heartedly." By-Pass UBC Financial Aid Draws Athletes South By RAY FROST (Ubyssey Sports Editor) Athletic opportunities have been and still are so slight for students at University of British Columbia that 'talented sportsmen have by-passed this university in preference to others where their talents may be rewarded. Some small schools, which cannot I offer near as much in the scholastic ! line as UBC. are draining off potcn- J tial UBC athletic stars by offering | much more than this university in tlie ' athletic line. j Top-notch sportsmen, all assets to Thunderbird teams if the players had come to UE'C, have gone to some bigger schools like University of Washington, U of Portland and others, not \ because they can get some course of- j fered at UBC. but because they have been offered financial assistance to play on some team. BOMBERS LEAVE St. Martin's acquired Blue ■Bomber football stars Gordie Brown and Pete Muir, two of the Bomber's best men for offensive work. Brown, all-conference tackle last year, might, have come to UEC, a big university in hi.s own town, if he had been offered financial aid to play'for this university as he had been from St. Martin's. And UBC could have used his 210 pound frame in the line. Muir, already having finished a year at St. Martin's on a track scholarship, will go down there again, He might very well have come to UBC if the proper aid was given him. But St. Martin's College, with a full 350 enrollment, was too good to pass up. Examples of other football player.-: who might have come to this university, but were enticed away by pastures wiith more greenbucks, are numerous. MANY EXAMPLES The Sweeny brothers, well-known in local grid circles, went, to Portland University. 'Brian Mulhern, Vancouver College graduate, played first string quarterback for Portland University. Jim Mitchener took his football skill with him to McGill University. Ed Ryan. Joe Fairleigh and Mart Clark, a few years ago, went down to St. Mary's to play football. Ryan was All-American mention one of his years. Fairleigh and Clark are back in Vancouver, set up in business, but •they didn't get their education here. EASTERN STARS Eastern grid stars Pete Thodos and Cod Giles, Doth of whom might have come to UBC if they were offered inducements, left school altogether to play professional football. Scott Fraser, three-sport man, starring in football, basketball and track, was another local boy who decided in favor of St. Martin's instead of UBC. Swimmers uuo could build up UBC's water teams, have drifted away, Pete Salmond and Jack Creedon. both tops in their fields are at University of Washington taking their studies, and swimming for university team. FURTHER SOUTH Many trackmen have hit further south where their talents are nol only recognized but also rewarded. Bill Parnell, outstanding twn-miler and UE'C track record breaker for the mile, is down in Washington State and is Jack Buniev. another local runner. Jack Hutchins, '.| and '■■ miler, to University of Oregon. Paul Chenctte, now in Western Washington, is one of the best milers in the Evergreen Conference. Chenctte is a former King George basketball star, Doug Robinson, entry in tbe British Empire Games, is pole-vaulting for University of Washington. Local basketball stars Bob Piekell, Jack Pomfret and Hugh Ryan. Pomfret at UW. and Ryan at Western Washington. ASSETS Men like Pomfret. who a.s a coach has been one of 'he greatest as.sets to UBC might very well have been a playing asset to this university as well. British Columbia, and Vancouver in particular, has turned out some of the nation's outstanding athletes hut so far these alhleles have been developed not in British Columbia but. iu .some other province or some ether country which could offer the athlete something besides the tradition of the old school lie.

Les Armour City Editor This Issue: RON PINCHIN Associate Editor: MAUI PINEO UBC Comes Into Its Own . Undergraduate Societies Committee, once the juke of the campus, has at last come into its own. Its functions have always been only vaguely defined with the result that it was all too easy for it to clo nothing at all. But the past three months have witnessed o remarkable transformation in the spirit of the group. It has taken an active interest in a number of issues—the bookstore problem, the dispute over the effectiveness of the Ubyssfey, and now the question of athletes— and it has handled them all quietly and efficiently. The question of athletes playing on outside teams is an important and vital one. It is a- question which might never have been placed before the student body as a whole were it not for the insistence of USC that lhe principles involved were of such magnitude that only a special general AMS meeting could settle the matter to the satisfaction of i-.ll. Chairman Bill Haggart deserves considerable credit for rescuing USC from lhe doldrums. USC is one of the few sounding boards on the campus to wnich students dissatisfied with the action of council can turn. This is a necessary and vital function, and one which students should see is performed adequately. Any sound government must have a system of checks and balances. But USC can only make recommendations—students must see to it that they are informed of USC's recommendations, and that the recommendations are made use of.

Sedgewick civil liberties memorial will be made today. Recipient of the award, downtown newspaperman Jack Scott, stands both as an effective contributor to civil liberties and as a symbol of the vital role of the press in a democratic society. ' Mr. Scott has never hesitated to defend civi-Lvliberties in any case—even though hc knev^shis defense would diverge from the policies of his employers. And his employers have never attempted to restrict his activities. This is as it should be. A newspaper should not be merely the mouthpiece of its publisher or its advertisers or any other group.,,. „«,..M.r- Scott's employer, The Vancouver Sun, stands a.s an example of a free press. Like any other newspaper it has a policy, and like any other newspaper it believes that; policy i.s the best policy possible. But unlike many other newspapers it does not believe that its policy is the only one which ought to be disseminated. So firmly does it believe that the public .should receive a diversity of views, that it lias made it a point to maintain on its staff columnists who often disagree violently with its editorial policy. The Sedgewick Memorial goes, then,.both to Mr. Scott and the Vancouver Sun. We think the late Dr. Sedgewick would have heartily approved the choice. Gobbledeygook By Hal Tennant We Look For Birdseed, But Get The Bird In Dept Store Hunt Shoe stores sell shoes, and hardware stores sell hardware. But it's not right to assume department stores sell departments. In fact I'm not so sure they sell anything at all. ■I spent a day in a Vancouver department store recently, looking for a package of birdseed. "Pardon me," I said to the man hiding behind the carnation, '"but can you tell me where I can find some birdseed?'' His lips parted in a huge smile that made him look like Visitor's Day in a dental lab. "Certainly, Sir. Take the escalator to the second floor and turn to your left." I reached the second floor and took a left turn. Gradually, I became aware of a slow, sinking sensation. The coward behind the carnation still had his teeth out on display. "Too sharp a turn," 1 chuckled. "I'll try it again." This time when I got. to the second floor, 1 managed lo read an eight-fool sign in the distance that announced the presence of the Pet Deparlmenl. The sign was obviously intended only for the convenience of shoppers who happened to stroll in wearing industrial respiralors. "Ya wanna pel, Mister?" asked a .girl who lolled against the cash register. "Heavens, im! here," I .said. "I'm just looking for some birdseed." She gazed mil lhe window, her gum snapping delightfully .synehrnni/.ed wilh the ping ping of the elevalnr.-,. "Birdseed?" she repeated. "We ain't eot no birdseed here, Mister, Anyway, I Ihoughl birds came from ..." i Somehow, I just couldn'l wail to hear her theories ol evolution. "What kind ef birds are you hunting, Sir?" asked the Brie.hl Young Lad behind the sports department eounl'T. "I'm not luuiiing bar1,,' I explained. "You see, I have a canarv. and I'm looking for ..." "Oh, liter gun ain'i u(> rood for canaries, Sir." "1 know." I said. "I dnn'l want a gun. I want ..." "Exactly, Sir," he said, nodding knowingly. You want to go to the toy department and get an air rifle. Why, an air rifle can kill a canary just as ... " "No, no," I revolted. "I'm not trying to kill him. He's hungry, and I'm looking lor . . ." "Well, this ain't no lunch counter. Anyway, what you want for him is some bircl- i a seed. "Maybe you're right," I said. Not more than twice did I look over at that rack of rifles before I walked away. The only other passenger on the elevator appeared to be a salesgirl. She was talking to the operator when I got on. "Pardon me," I said to the operator, "but can you lell me where to find birdseed?" "Why not, look in a birdcage, silly!" And her elbow jammed back into the sales girl's ribs. "Didja hear lhat, Ethel? Thi.s guy say.-: 'Can you tell me where to find birdseed,' and I says, 'Why don't you . . . ' " 1 got oil al. tbe next floor. It happened to be Ihe grocery department. "Pardon me," I said to the man in the smock, "can you tell me what you've got in the way of birdseed?" "Cellophant , Buster, Cellophane," and lit1 leaned back, hi.s bands on his ribs, his whole body shaking soundlessly. "Why don't, you look lor yourself," he said when the spasm was over. "This place is self serve, you know. My job i.s to keep the rack supplied, with jelly powders. That's all. Just jelly powders." 1 don't know whal snapped in my brain. Bul a moment later, I found myself filing wilh tin1 others, past the wrapping counter, up lo thi1 cash register, "This all you want?" she asked. "Just jells' powders?" "Yes," I said dazedly. "For my canary, you know." "Funny," she said, "I got one too, but lie won't eal nothing bul birdseed. I guess it lakes all kinds." "Guess so," I said. "Mine's just wild about jelly powders.

In Ihe issue of the Ubyssey for November 22, 11)11), 1 am quoted as saying: "I think lhal tlu1 Christian doctrine nf sin is rubbish." Tlie quotation occurred in a report of an address which I had delivered on the previous clay. This quotation is almost iho exact opposite of what 1 said. My statement was that many popular ideas about the Christian doctrine of sin are rubbish. I wont on to .say that the real Christian ideas about sin wore very sensible, and linked up closely with what wc are learning about guilt from psychology. Il i.s unfortunate that this misquotation should have occurred in a report that was otherwise much more nceur- i ate. and I am sure it was entirely ae- j cidenlal. 1 would appreciate il if you j would kindly publish a correction.

A chaos of opinions flooded Arts opinions 100 Wednesday when a motion introduced by Pat Newlancls passod by a large majority, The motion was "that no smoking by women be allowed on the campus or at any function sponsored by tho University." The first speaker for the affirmative was Elaine College who said "This is not a personal matter. We have to consider other peoples' views." She appealed to the women student's to help retain the high opinions and standards which the public holds of the University students. Mairi Dingwall supported the negative side by slating that if the motion was defeated it would not interfere with the stadium campaign. At the Universities of Alberta and Saskatchewan, women students smoke openly. Miss Dingwall felt that it was more injurious to have surreptitious smoking than to accept the rights of women on the campus. She did not think that Freshettes would be foolish enough to take up smoking if they had not done so before. Molly Jordan was of the opinion that certain places should be provided for smoking, but that above all women should not smoke in the Cafeteria. A standing vote was taken showing the motion passed by a large majority. POST-MOttTEM They talked if in caf, and they talked it in class, They spoke of it morning and night. They discussed it with fervor, they knew it would pass. Co-eds would stand up for their right. They considered in couples. They argued in threes; Did they fear public wrath to provoke? Why this difference of rights twixt the hes and the shes? Twas but justice that women should smoke. When at' length the time came and they gathered to make Thc momentous decision at last, It was mildly suggested, "There'6 too much at stake, Certain people are branding us "fast," Were there who for their convictions would stand And l'orensicly favor the fag? Wore there ten, were there eight, who could show they had sand, That their boasting was something but brag? There were four; that is all, who had courage enough To prove they had minds of their own.

Chiefs, ending up the season in« number one spot in the league, will have the best chance of the two university te&ms to come out with a win to advance to the semi finals. Losing only one game all season, that one to the Meralomas in the first game of the year, Chiefs ran over the other league members including the much-vaunted Rowing Club fifteen to win the leadership of the league. Supplying much of the punch to the team is Russ Latham, currently leading his mates in scoring with 21 points to his credit. RUNNING AND KICKING Latham has kept the team going since the start of the year, running over the trys as well as kicking the converts before Austin Taylor took over this task. Playing outside-three in the line. Latham has had much to clo with setting up Keith Turnbull out in the wing to score the trys. Turnbull, amazingly fast, outruns opposing players in his bid for the goal line. And when he can't outrun them, he ploughs through them. Campus Runners Look for Clean Sweep Saturday UBC distance men are looking for a clean sweep of the First Annual B. C. Cross Country Championships but Washington State's record-smashing Bill Parnell is out to blast their hopes. Parnell, who set a university mile record here last November 5, will be facing B'ob Piercy of UBC, who broke a cross-country record last November 16. With Piercy will be Pat Minchin, Ez Henniger and other stars from the campus. FOUR MILE COURSE Sports Editor — RAY FROST Associate Etlitor-SANDY MANSON To be fought over a Stanley Park layout, the race will be run in two divisions, Open and Junior, with men under twenty falling into the latter classification. SECOND HIGHEST SCORER Turnbull is second highest scorer for the Chiefs, totaling 18 points for the team. Fullback duties are being handled by Bill Sainas, who has been doing a The Open race will go over a four near-perfect job of getting the ball rniie course while the Junior will cover down field with his long kicking. | two and a half. Both groups to finish As always, John "Junior" Tennant anc\ start at Brockton Oval has been playing exceptionally well in the five-eighths spot, moving that ball out to the three line in speedy fashion. Diminutive Jack Smith and Frank Watt move the ball farther out in the line to Latham and Turnbull who try to get the ball downfield and over the line. GRID STARS BACK With the addition of American grid star Stan Clarke and possibly George Puil and Dick Ellis, Chiefs will be strengthened even more than they are now. Chiefs have the best opportunity of any team in the league of taking the Millar Cup, even though the downtown teams this year are all good and all threats to the university team. Braves, who haven't won a game all season, will probably not get any further than this Saturday in the playoffs. m» ' MURAL VOLLEYBALL FINALS Wednesday in Gym 12:.')() p.m. 10 CENTS Semi Finals Tuesday in Gym TEAMS LEFT Kappa Sig "A", ATO, Eng II, DU "A", Pre-Med, Phi Delt, Beta "..', Kappa Sig "B".

But there are catches. Granted that the Birds licked the€>- F'alccns twice last year, and that the Bird team has certainly gained in experience as well as ability over last year, but will the Birds come through? Usually the Birds manage to get a fair opinion of themselves when they win a game. Of course it can't' he helped. Last year they didn't win too often, and now when they win three straight they might start to think that they have hit the jackpot with a cracker-jack ball club. EASY COMPETITION But fans and players alike should remember that the competition so far this year has not been very tough at all. Thc big test for the Birds come next weekend when they clash with tho Washington U. Huskies. Then wc will see if wc have a team or a collection of players. TOUGH SEASON AHEAD The UBC hoys have got a tough season ahead. Their offense was shaky last week, and Pomfret has been working on that part of the play all this week. La.it week Big Jawn Forsyth carried all the burden in getting rebounds. Even though Munro's offensive work has greatly improved, both he and Bill Bell arc definitely not driving hard enough I'or both offensive ;md dolcnsive rebounds. Of course, last week we did see some good points to the Bird's credit. Free shot average was good. Defensive work of some of the players was exceptionally good. Watt's two handed distance shot has potentials that will clo the team a lot of good if it is perfected. JUST EXPERIENCE But until the opening two games of the Conference season in January when thc Birds meet the two toughest teams in the league, all games will be just so much experience, helping to give the boys confidence, and pointing out their faults before mistakes will be too costly. Until January then, we will just wait and hope. Who knows? We might just have a basketball team. ALL NIGHT RECORD MAN Lew Fox broadcasts all night on CNNW.
