It was an enjoyable afternoon for all who attended, as many old acquaintances had a chance to visit. Also, many of the new mem ber's parents were given an oppor tunity to visit the house, social ize and meet the Fijis. Although the Huskies lost the game, the party was a winner.

Two other varsity players, Gary Briggs *80, and Rick Guenther *80, have eligibility left to play again next season. All seven of these players competed for the Hus kies one year ago in their stunning upset of Michigan in the Rose Bowl.

Turning to varsity basketball» there are three talented Fijis forming the nucleus of a potential ly strong Husky hoop team. Sopho more Bob Fronk '81, is listed as a ppsible starter, but will probably see most of his action coming off the bench to supply some spark as a sixth man.

They have already entertained several promising pros- nects at exchanges and Monday night dinners. Fall and Winter rush is ideally will be expected to lend leadership an oportunity for legacies, especi and scoring strength to a young ally, and other recomended pros pects to individually get a look at Husky squad. Stan led last year's team in point production, and sin gle-handedly kept the Dogs in many of their games. Much of the Husky success this season depends on the nerformance of seven foot sophomore Peter Gudmundson '81. Last year was a learning year for Pete. With add ed strength and confidence, Pete could could become an imposing force in the Pac-10 conference, Rolfe Will *78, is completing his last year of rowing for the Dowerhouse UofW crew and could conceivably see some first boat action this coming spring.
