Indians Get Early Start In the opinion of Coach Jim Conger, one reason the McMurry Indians didn't do better in basketball last winter 'was that their practic season started loo late By the time the team found itself the campaign was over. He doesn't plan let thai happen this trip. Consequently, already his drills are tong and tedious with workouts the daily ordeal for only ten days, and scrim- ages with Army fives are soon to be almost a daily occurrence. The first was staged Tuesday, and Conger Indicates he was far from satisfied that which he saw. The defense came closer to measuring up lo expectations than the offense.

Hghlighl of early practice has been th'e play of Bill (Duke) Ellington, hustling senior, who has been all over the court on the defense and parted the threads as never before. Husky J.

NEW YORK, Dec. the end of the baseball season, a lot of sports writers--Including this one--have been tossing olf ideas about how the wajor leagues might operate in 19-13.

For another thing, the Philadelphia story has been dumped back into President Gerry Nugciifs lap.
