Cameraman Takes First Contest Fish J. W. Teter Enters Four-Pound Trout Caught on Dry Fly By HERB PENNY The Emerald - Hendershott trout fishing contest got off to a splashing start Friday as early entry Cameraman J. W. Teter announced capture of a four pound rainbow, which he intends to register at Hendershott’s as soon as possible. Registering of their catch at Hendershott’s is all that is nec essary for Mr. Teter and other faculty and student anglers to enroll in this easy-to-enter com petition for a prize of a$5 fly rod. There is no entry fee in this “stream-lined” registering pro cess. Dry Fly Mr. Teter cought his trout on a dry fly in the MacKenzie river. “I can use a new fly rod,” he smiled as he told of his trophy. Other faculty headliners in the fishing fraternity expressed pro fessional enthusiasm at the open ing of the race for the largest rainbow. “This will prove,” said Speech Professor W. A. Dahlberg, “who is of the aristocracy among the Oregon fishing world. I shall look askance at anyone using eggs and worms and I challenge all campus fishermen to compete with me in the fray.” Moll Talks Said Poet-Professor Ernest G. Moll, “Perhaps this will stimu late some former fishermen to take up the rod again. If I catch a decent fish I will certainly en ter.” George Godfrey looked up as he put a nickel into a pinball ma chine. “Well,” he said, and shot a couple of balls, “If I get a fish I’ll enter.” He won three free games. “This year,” said Business Man ager J. O. Lindstrom, “I’m taking up golf. I probably won’t be able to enter the contest but I think it will liven the interest in sport. This fall I’m going after steel head and salmon,” he beamed in anticipation.” Side Show (Continued from hnae tzeo) announced, but one can guess that 12 weeks of responsibility for a nation that is reeling under the blows of the German blitz krieg is enough to break any rul er’s heart. Morality ? The same morality that might make this nation unwilling to bomb Berlin in order to make democrats out of the nazis has not handicapped Hitler’s forces. The German war machine appar ently has no conscience nor any scruples against throwing away the lives of its own soldiers, much less that of its opponents. Richard D. McMillan, war cor respondent with the British army, writes in a vivid and copyrighted story for the United Press that “The British have now consoli dated their defense line and are slaughtering the elite manpower of the German army as it surges in with suicidal abandon . . . Mountain passes are strewn with the bodies of fresh-faced German youth, sprawl? V along the skele tons of shattered tanks. . . . “in in orge the Australian.' . - Ike -'.can of Hitler’; soldi yo> m 1 sturra truppe ■ ” i only 19 or 20 y? u ~ie -mi! 1 from the }::;. . •• ...a ization.

Willard Wilson Bernie Engel The British call them “Blitzmen." “They were battalions of death, surging on hour after hour until the British defenders of the pass were exhausted with killing.” What’s the Power? The other day I wondered in print what strange power it is that Hitler has over his follow ers that persuades them to throw themselves en masse into certain destruction. They are men so they can’t be called dumb cattle marching up the pens to the slaughter house. Those in the lat er waves may see some chance of surviving, but those in the first waves at least know they are going to die. Why do they do it? Is it fear of being shot from behind if they retreat? Perhaps, but I am in clined to think they are hopped up on promises of gain and glory, intoxicated with words, words, words. The Australians, too, when they charged at Bengazi, sang, “We’re off to see the Wizard, the won derful Wizard of Oz” and doubt less, too, they had some of Churchill’s idealistic phrases to comfort them. But all this bravery, if it can be called that, seems so futile, for there is nothing settled by force that couldn’t be better set tled by reason.

For nearly a year the military science department has been working with its staff of seven, training undergrads from green rookies to a respectable unit of troops. Colonel R. M. Lyon re ports that each Thursday's drill takes off a few more rough spots, and promises some snappy pa rades for the latter part of the term. When both battalions are as sembled and at attention, John Stehn, band director, can be heard “admonishing” his charg es and warning them, “Don’t sound off till, we get the sig nal.” His last words before the parade, “First the anthem, then ‘New Colonial” and ‘Invincible Fidelity’,” is usually the tip for the troops to “look alive.” As the officers bawl, "present —harms!”, the band plays the gonian; and Paul Giesy, Portland printer. Speaker Don Belding will be the second generation of Alpha Delta Sigma members to be pres ent, as his son, Don Belding Jr., has recently been pledged into the honorary. At the luncheon given at the College Side Thursday Prof. Thacher, adviser for the organi zation, presented plans for the conclave. George Luoma, presi dent of the Oregon chapter, pre sided. national anthem and spectators as far as a block away are seen removing their hats in respectful attention while troops and offi cers assume the military salute to the flag. After the anthem and “officers, center!”, the review starts. Eight companies, the color guard and the band march past the review ing stand and back around the field. On passing in review, each company does “eyes right,” and then resumes the head and eyes to the front position at the com mand, “ready, front!” Gratifying Colonel Lyon stated that the mand is echoed by the second have been very gratifying. Due to a shortage of rifles, only half of the regiment can use them at a time but arrangements are made so that the complete unit gets training in the manual of arms. Visitors have been coming to the drill lately and an official in vitation will be made a little later in the term, the colonel said. Since there was no exhibition drill at Oregon State this year, the military department will en deavor to provide some parades for local inspection.
