The February meeting of the Colorado
Section, C. S. M. Alumni Association
was held at the Oxford Hotel,
at Noon, February 16, 1940. Twentytwo
members and one guest were
present. After the luncheon our new
president. Dent L. Lay, occupied a
few minutes commenting upon his
program for 1940, asking for better
attendance at local meetings and cooperation
with the Parent Association
and President Eddie Brook. Committees
were appointed as follows:

Earl Durbin, Chairman
Robert Barney

President Lay suggested that attendance
might be increased by occasionally
changing the place of meeting
and/or the time.
Carl Dismant offered some extremely
interesting movies and commentaries
on his trip through the Far East
to America via Europe. Mr. Dismant
spent four years as mine superintendent
in the Philippines and has
quite recently returned to the states,
having been caught in France at the
time the present European war was
declared. His comments on the
difficulties of travelers during the
state of war were very well put and
apropos.

New York
The big party of the year for the
New York Alumni Section was held
on February 12th in conjunction with
the Smoker party of the annual A. L
M. E. convention. As has been our
custom for a number of years New
York Section made arrangements for
a pre-Smoker party at which all
Miners attending the convention
might get together with other visiting
Miners as well as with our Section
members.
This cocktail party was very informal
and was featured by various
"bull sessions" after which Dr. Coolbaugh
gave a short talk. He urged

MINES IN WINTER SPORTS
Riding high on a string of nine
straight victories and one defeat, the
basketball team will enter the national
A. A. U. basketball tourney in Denver
this week to try its luck. It is
the first time a Mines team has been
entered in the tourney, and it will be
in particularly fast company this year
with such nationally known teams as
the Denver Nuggets and the Phillips
Oilers. A number of other strong
college teams are entering the tourney,
and they are slated for initial games
with the Mines quintet.
The team finished its regular season
February 24 assured of at least a
tie for second place in the R. M, C.
The final standing won't be determined
until Western State and
Colorado College finish their schedules
of four remaining games. If C.
C. should win all of her remaining
games, she will be in a tie for first
place with Montana State, and if she
should lose one game, C. C. will be
tied for second with Mines. The hapless
Western State quintet has failed
to make a win during the season, and
it is likely that C. C. will be able to
win all of the four games.
The R. M. C. standings are as follows
:
Won Lost %
Montana State 3 1 .750
Colorado Mines 8 4 .666
Colorado College* 5 3 .625
Greeley State 6 6 .500
Western State 0 8 .000
*Four games yet to be played.
The team made a complete about
face this season to lift the school from
a record of four straight victoryless
seasons in conference play to become
the team this year to roll up the most
lop-sided score of the season by defeating
Western State 69 to 34 and 60 to
37. A win in a post-season charity
game with Denver University, big
seven member, has made the record of
this year's team even more outstanding.
Mines was able to win from D. U.
by a 36-32 score through superior ballhustling
and a variety of wellscreened
plays that caught the Denver
five flat-footed. Coach Doy
Neighbors has coached the team in a
style of play that has had good results
throughout the season.

Back Row, left lo right: Bob Retallack, Ivan Gilbert, George Bernstein, Pearson, Dean
Thompson.
Middle Row, left to lighl: Glenn Lancaster, Bob Comstock, Cloy Cieager, Joe Richleski,
Paul Davis.
Front Row, left to light: Elmore Peloubet, manager; "Shorty" Hegglund; Lou DeGoes;
Lee Talbott; Bill Bousman; Harold Rogers; Coach Doy Neighbors.
"Shorty" Hegglund, the outstanding
ball-hustler on the team, was all
over the court in the D. U. game
stealing the ball and feeding his team
mates for set ups. Hegglund will
graduate this year, and he will be hard
to replace. He has averaged 8.2 points
per game, a total of 99, to place him
third in scoring honors in the R. M.
c.
Lee Talbott, a sophomore and
termed by Coach Neighbors as '"the
best offensive and defensive man in
the Conference", was the star of the
D. U. game. As the smoothest player
on the floor, Talbott grabbed scoring
honors for the game. He has made a
total of 95 points for the season to
have tbe fourth highest number of
total points.
For the first time in over a decade
a Mines player took top scoring honors
in the conference, Harold Rogers,
sophomore star from Jonesboro,
Arkansas, grabbed top scoring honors
for the season by splitting tbe strings
for 147 points, twenty-six points more
than his nearest rival. Walla of
Greeley State, who poured 121 points
through the hoop this season, Rogers
has made 12.2 points per game by
stint of his strong driving power and
desire to score.
The most outstanding thing about
this year's aggregation has been that
scoring honors have been fairly evenly
divided throughout the season among
three of the first string players.
Rogers, as top scorer in the league,
was not far ahead of Hegglund and
Talbott who ended the conference season
in third and fourth place, respectively.
In the first game of the last
series with Western State, Talbott
played brilliantly to come out high
point man with 19 points, and
Hegglund, by his firehouse type of
play has broken through rival defenses
to split the strings enough to
keep him near the top.
Bousman, another first-string sophomore,
has played strong defensive
ball, and he also finished the season
among the top eleven scorers. Comstock
and Thompson have had a nip
and tuck battle all year for the fifth
place on the first-string quintet.
Coach Neighbors is due for a great
deal of credit for the splendid spirit
built .up among squad members. He
