With auto horns blaring, the victory bell clanging, cymbals crashing, firecrackers popping, and exhausts exploding they head ed for the downtown areas. In de spair the police turned off the stop lights—the Webfoot caravan was in no mood to be halted by a mere red flash. At the center of pandemonium Willamette and Broadway—a car full of Kappa Sigs flashed onto the scene with the Lemon and Green victory bell. Stopping their car and causing a major traffic jam, they placed the bell in the center of the intersection and the joyous peals sounded out almost being drowned out by the auto horns. * * * Cars traveled in all directions. Suddenly a group of pedestrian rooters shouting “Rally, Rally'* forged through the middle of the auto parade gathering hundreds as they ran. Whipping up the street in a frenzy of celebration they were attracted by the McDon ald theater. {Please turn to page three) Nation Hails Ducks After 46-33 Victory They're national champions now, these tall Oregon boys who have no peer, no match wherever basketball is played in this old world.

And in doing so they left no doubt of a basketball supremacy, the like of which the nation has not seen in many a year. For 25 minutes, Ohio State gave the driving Webfoots a tremend ous fight, but when the tall firs from the far west began to move, the Buckeyes didn’t have a chance. Halftime score favored the Web foots, 21 to 16. Oregon last night was a team of destiny.
