Auto Mishaps Hit (Continued front page one) out from Florida the band truck overturned, injuring the drummer with the Morgan crew and ruin ing most of the instruments. The next thing that happened, Porozoff chuckled here, was that Morgan’s own car burned and with it went all of Morgan’s clothing so that the maestro ar rived in Hollywood with but a pair of slacks and an old sweater to his name. Three of Morgan's featured musicians landed in hospitals with the flu and Phyllis Lynne, lovely vocalist, developed laryn gitis. . . . But the boys rallied and the band opened on schedule at the Palladium, million -dollar nitery in the film capital. Literal When Russ Morgan was asked how he liked all these mishaps, a few days ago, he remarked, "Bro ther, when I passed through a small town in Arizona and saw myself billed as ‘Russ Morgan and his famous music in the MORBID manner,’ I wasn’t a bit sur prised.’’ The jinx continues though, as Porozoff’s car wyas wrecked on the way to Spokane, and one other car was damaged on the way from Spokane to Seattle. Arrangements are now being made to have Russ Morgan judge the Whiskerino contest, together with the aid of local barbers. An other surprise will be the ap pearance of the Gamma Phi quar tet which wall do its interpreta tion of Morgan’s famous theme "Does Your Heart Beat for Me?"

Annabelle to Feast On Oysters, Tablets By JOHNNIE KAHANANUI If Queen Annabelle and her court of lovely princesses simply abhor clams and oysters, the fair coeds will eat ’em anyway and grin as though the gooey little creatures are real delicacies. If they haven’t tasted no-doz tab lets, they can borrow a few from Genii Brown and Buck Buchwach, general promotion chairmen of Junior weekend, and grimace as the abominable pellets catch in their throats. If they’re all looking for crowds, they won’t have to, for today the University of Oregon’s Junior Weekend crew begins plowing through their first round of hectic activity. The group will be the University’s official dele gation in Eugene's first navy day celebration and parade. Boat Ride This evening at 5 o’clock Queen Annabelle and her princesses— Barbara Neu, Jean Burt, Helen Angell, and Barbara Todd — spruce up as gay “sailorettes” and ride in yacht-like floats towed along in a nautical parade. Buck Buchwach undresses for promotion of the May weekend and dons a sea-weed sarong. As King Neptune I, Buchwach will climb aboard a float, grip Nep tune’s proverbial three-pronged spear, and glide along in the pro cession with all the dignity due his office. Procession At noon tomorrow an official delegation of eight cars wheels out of Eugene and rolls toward Mapleton, “Admiral” Chet Good’s ark trundling along behind. At ———— Mapleton the group will gorge itself on clams and oysters for about an hour. Comes 2:30 p.m.. Queen Anna bell, amid the pomp and cere mony attending all ship christen ings, wafts up to “Admiral” Good’s boat poised on the ramp there and bashes a bottle of milk off its prow just before the ship skids down the ways and splash es into the water. The crew will remain in Maple ton for all official functions dur ing the day, returning to Eugene and the University only after they’re thoroughly worn out.
