Valuable Lesson Or A Waste Of Time The sec0nd annual Christmas break southern basketball trip was anything but a success, record wise. The Rivermen blew a 13-pointlead at the ha,lf en route to at 91 - 84 loss to the Arkansas Razorbacks before being outclassed at Memphis State, 108-86. The UMSL athletic program made obvious gains in terms of reputation on the trip. Coach Chuck Smith expressed ,it this way, "It gave us g00d national visibility. It's, good to get major universities on your schedule because the wire services pick up scores, pick up stories from the big- time teams." Thus the, Red and Gold, who failed to bump off a not-sa-pow­ erful "name" in the Razorback game, had to rely on reflected glory for some sign of profit. As important as this might be, the true value of the trip, of spend­ ing,the funds necessary for such a tour, must be measured in terms of lessons learned by the play­ ers. And the most important lesson No place like home for the holidays. It was a long three days away from home for the Rivermen, who flew south for games with Arkansas' Razorbacks and Memphis State's Tigers.
