The loss to the Angels was the ltth setback for the White Sox in their last 16 outings, and five wins against eleven defeats will get you nowhere in a hurry. The nationally televised game Monday night demonstrated very clearly why the W'indv Citv team is skiddin: The pitching was miserable, the fmldinj lousv', the hitting anemic and the hustle non-existent.

For specifies on the pitching, fjst take note of the fact that the three alleged major leaguers who toiled for the White Sox gave up 10 hits. 9 runs, 7 bases on balls, one wild pitch and hit one bat sman in the horrible showing against the Angels. Though no errors were charged against them, the Sox fielding was amateurish if not clownish, and near the end of the game the fans were booing aplenty. (And booing was iust what the team deserved for such a pitiful showing THE WHITE SOX had a team bat mark of in te latest statistical release with Allen at .335. Kelly at .326 and Henderson at .311.

WITH TEN schools in the SEC it is a certainty that three or four or mavbe five will tote losing records at the end of each snorts "season." And there is no suarantee whatsoever that either Ole Miss or Mississippi State will wind up a winner in any of the three ''major sports" baseball, basketball and football as was demonstrated most emphatically during the past school year. We could advance several ''theories" regarding the losing records of the Rehs and Bulldosis in SEC comhiit during the past year but they would simply represent the personal opinion of one man. Basically, when you ogle the Rebel and Bulldog showings in football, basketball and baseball last season, you finally have to admit if you are at all fair-minded that the reason for losing records by both was simply this: Thev were outplayed and outclassed by more talented and stronger teams. (It is not "ordained" that the two Mississippi teams will prevail against their foes just because they are Mississippi teams, and they could possibly be losers more often than winners).
