COACH Charles Finley of the Rolla Miners took exception to account of the SMS-Rolla football game in which it was labeled "the first annual Dull Bowl" by sportswriter Bob Yates of the Rolla Daily News.

In speaking to the UMR Boost er Club," Finley said, those of you who are 'knowledgeable tans' quote, unquote saw a good football game." Another remark, by Yates caused puzzlement here. In his column, he penned, group of black SMS students sat in the reserved seat section Saturday 'and refused to move although they were asked to do so by ath letic director Billy Key. It was a childish, college prank which would have gone unnoticed except for the racial overtones." Athletic Business Manager Bill Rowe saw no "racial over tones" nor even any trouble over the incident were some of our stu dents sitting on the top row and Billy Key asked me if I would help him in requesting them to move if the ticket holders came to claim the seats. So far as I know, they didn't come and no request was made. I had to leave in the third quarter, but up to that time nothing had been said and we've not heard from Key on any such incident" Of course, we don't know just how close Key and Yates are since the newsman called for -the promotion of Assistant Coach Jerry Klrksey to Key's basketball job early last summer.

Drury, after beginning on some new and different kinds of defenses developed by McDaniel last week, held its second scrimmage Saturday. The squad was divided into three teams with each team playing two halves. "The statistics showed we cut both our fouls and turnovers by half, which is a sign of better conditioning, both offensively and defensively," Matthews commented. This week's slate is aimed at placing emphasis on pressing, additional offensive options and special game situations, such as the delay and in-bounds plays.

Because of the new rule on personal fouls where each team will take the ball out of bounds on the first six fouls instead of shooting free throws, each squad will in-bound the ball 12 more times a game.
