Dr. C. J. Christensen, popular
teacher of the college, was injured
on January 31 when his car piled up
in a ditch as he tried to avoid a col­
lision with another car.
Dr. Christensen suffered three
broken ribs and considerable bruis­
ing as he endeavored to avoid crash­
ing into a car that pulled through a
stop sign. At the present time he is
making rapid strides to recovery at
his home on Waterford street, but he
will not be able to be in class again
before the first of the week.
It is unfortunate that such an ac­
cident should happen to Dr. Christ­
ensen.
He is one of the best-liked
teachers on the campus, and he is
also doing a great service to the
school and the district in his work
in the field.
In his absence from his classes
here and in the field, his classes are
being taken by other teachers.
All connected with the college join
in hoping that Dr. Christensen will
again be able to be at his work soon.

mark, which is a fine average in any
league.
Back in the ’20’s his basketball
teams went three seasons with but
one loss charged against them per
season, and during the four seasons
that Joe Leson and Bill Holland
formed the backbone of the team, the
Raiders were undefeated before the
home fans until the final game of the
fourth winter.
“Sox” hesitates to pick an all-star
team from the many greats that he
has coached, on the basis of the chang­
ing game. He will name a few of
the outstanding players of the past
twenty years, however, and among
them are Bob Camp, Heinie Ander­
son, Dal Butler, Howie Matteson,
Ken Porter, Joe Leson, Bill Holland,
Oscar Palmquist and several others.
How does this year’s team com­
pare with the great ones of the past?
Again the changes in the style of
play and the rules make a decision
difficult if not impossible.

Walter Nissen, secretary of Upsilon Chapter of Phi Sigma Pi, was
elected to represent his fraternity at
the Biennial Convention of the Grand
Chapter at Hotel Allerton in Cleve­
land, Ohio, on February 25th.
Mr. Nissen, who will be accompan­
