...Carpetbagger? The main reason for this drastic change of plans is a thoughtful, tireless former instructor in political science named Philip Hitchcock. By the time McKay made his last-minute announcement, Hitchcock had already taken leave from his job as public-relations director at Portland's Presbyterian Lewis and Clark College and was on the campaign trail.

They stuck stubbornly to their unorthodox "penholder" grip (which makes for an awkward backhand), but attacked so steadily that their opponents could seldom smash to their weak side. "Yoshi! Yoshi!"
