Recovered from the injury, Thompson returned to the Cats' lineup in mid- season against Pfeiffer, and spurred the Catamounts to a 51-50, overtime win. Bob remained in the lineup for ten games, while the Cats rolled for seven wins be- fore he injured his knee for the third time, this time against Catawba. Now the senior captain is healthy again, and his play has helped lead the Cats to an 8-4 record, thus far. Just as a car needs every piston, Western needs every cog in its basketball machine. Captain Bob Thompson is running healthy, smooth, and steady.

Thursday, January 11, 1968 Try Cruise For Golfers A unique new idea in cruise travel is proving as welcome as a hole-in-one to golfers who have to spend the winter months at the proverbial 19th hole while frozen off the first 18. Created as a break with the stodgy style of the past, these new cruises aboard the S.S Constitution are providing an atmosphere of a combination floating luxury hotel and country club. Scheduled to sail for San Juan, St. Martine, and St. Thomas in the Caribbean on January 2, 10, and 17, the seven and eight day cruises will feature top name entertainment in a nightclub geared toward the modern generation. Headline attractions ashore: Bobby Darin, Milton Berle, the Cha- vales de Espana and Pat Collins, internationally-acclaimed hypnotist. In addition, there will be shore excursions, choice of dinner show at one of San Juan's four outstanding hotel/ nightclubs, and a free transfer in St. Thomas for shopping and additional sightseeing - all included in the package rate. By far, the most unique feature of the cruise is a golf Calcutta at sea for passengers only. A match will be held at the El Conquistador, the newest and most challenging golf course in the Caribbean. Ten thousand dollars in prizes are to be a- warded to the winning foursome as well as the lowest individual net score. Official handicaps must be submitted. Golf clinics will be held a- board ship, with professional PGA members specifically in structed under the Arnold Palmer method. The program will include the special Arnold Palmer electronic driving range facilities, including instantvid- eo retake, driving nets, sand traps and putting greens.
