By HEHB PENNY Expressing confidence Thurs day in the college student’s abil ity to meet present world condi tions, Governor Charles A. Sprague said emphatically, T be lieve that every young man should continue his college edu cation. “Young men should prepare themselves to meet any situation that arises, and they can do this best by education,” he smiled. Woman’s Place In regard to the women’s place in the national defense program, the governor declared that, al though there would be no place for women in the more arduous duties, women would probably play a prominent part in the manufacturing end of defense preparations. “In olden days,” said the gov ernor, “when the man of the fam ily had to leave the field to go and fight, the woman took the plow and did the work formerly done by the man. It is just the same today. Education Necessary “Young men should not leave college because of the present program,” he emphasized. “We shall need trained men and we can get them from the colleges. It is wrong to think that college educations will be unnecessary in the present situation,” Oregon's chief executive declared. Governor Sprague revealed his opinions concerning national de fense and the college student di rectly following his address to the University student body at the installation of ASUO officers Thursday. His smiling face grew earnest as he stressed the impor tance of college students to the nation at the present time.

By BILL HILTON “Five years of football un scathed, and in less than one min ute of a pushball game I get a broken leg,” commented George Olson, injured in the annual frosh-soph melee Junior Week end. Olson declared, “I don't know just how it happened yet. “We started 100 yards apart, with the ball on the 50-yard line. I was the second man to reach the ball, but when I started to hit it with my shoulder, it just wasn’t there. Ball Too Light “The ball was so light that the first man to reach it knocked it nearly out of the playing field, “When both teams met, some thing had to give and it happened to be my leg.” Olson’s mother who was visit ing him at the time of the inter view remarked, “Yes, and you would probably do it again,” to which Olson smiled shyly. "The only trouble with the game was,” Olson remarked, “that the teams were started too far apart. It would be all right if players were started about 10 feet apart, but in 100 yards they get up too much speed and hit just a little too hard,” he assert ed. Idea Explained “The idea of the game,” Olson explained, “is to keep the ball in the air and “bat” it around with your hands, not to try to put it over the goal by main strength.” Olson remarked, “I think that if the students understood the game and how it is supposed to be played it would be all right.” Sharing thermometers with Ol son today are: Elizabeth Walker, Leda Sheppard, Nancy Gardner, Frances Roth, Mary Failing, Lu cille Johnson, James Kurtz, Ralph Harlow, Dan Mercer, Jules Na pier, Gordon Jones, and Ed Blu menthal.
