Great changes have been made during the occupation under the leadership of General Douglas MacArthur. Japan is taking to democ­ racy with ease. The Japanese have learned that white men, particularly Americans, aren't as brutal as they have been led to believe. Many Colonel M. V.

APRIL 1951 Page 9 Each spring, when most of us are thinking of overhauling our fishing tockle and taking a few practice swings with a five iron, two Washington State College coaches are looking over their current crops of talented young by men with on eye toward the highly competitive season ahead.

Kranc, a speedster, may bat lead off for the Cougars on the basis of his burning speed and heads up play. Evashevski's speedy left half, Bud Roffler, will forego spring practice to play right field for the Cougars. Roffler, a left handed batter, hit very well in pre-season games and will add punch to the outfield. Lettermen Frank Watson, Bill Mayberry, Buddy Weiss, and Boytz are all good hitters and may also fit into Bailey's outfield plans on occasion.

The Cougars dominated the Northwest track and field scene for three seasons, 1947, '48, and '49, before their only fair showing last spring. This season, however, WSC cinder fortunes have definitely hit the comeback trail. One reason for the enthusiasm over the coming season is the return of British Empire Mile Champion, Bill Parnell, after a year's absence. No less important is the return to top form of U. S. Olympic miler, Clem Eischen, who was hampered last season by an ailing foot. Two other former Olympic stars have joined the Cougars this year to add weight in the field events. Aus­ tralia's Peter Mullins, forward on Jack Friel's varsity basketball team last winter, is scheduled to handle high hurdle chores, as well as back up N.D. Champion Eric Roberts in the high jump. Representing Australia in the 1948 Olympic games, Mullins placed sixth in the Decathalon.
