Beaver Defeat Means
Slight Bowl Chance
By WALLY HUNTER
J'Ht.wn came to the 1 niversity of Oregon campus quietly
and gracefully today, unmindful of the fact that it had kept
20,000 rabid grid fans waiting 12 hours for Oregon State’s
mightiest grid team to renew its age-old feud with the Ore
gon’s Webfoots on Hayward field at 2 o’clock.
Every seat that surrounds the ancient irreen of Ilavward
has been sold since Thursday,
and thus one of the largest
crowds in Oregon grid history is
expected to put in its appear
ance at the proper time.
Bowl on Fire
The highest grid honor that
any team can earn is hanging in
the balance today it will be the
finest chance that the eBavers
have ever had to enter the sa
cred portals of the Rose Bowl
and the bookmakers are setting
the odds at seven to five that
they will scuttle the Ducks.
“General overcasts and oc
casional showers,” this voiced
by the weatherman was the
only dark cloud to enter the

Violinist Seeks
Comfort First
Second in this year’s program
of Greater Artist series presen
tations, Yehudi Menuhin will
play his Stradivarius before a
McArthur court audience Monday
evening at 8:15.
Exchange tickets obtained at
the ASUO ticket booth in McAr
thur court, will be necessary in
addition to educational activity
cards.
According to press release con
cerning the violinist’s tastes in
apparel, he says:'
“Discard all excess baggage. I
want to feel free to move my arms,
legs—unhindered by stiff shirts,
collars, vests, suspenders, and
even belts, always free please!”
That was the request Yehudi
Menuhin always made when
clothes were ordered for his con
cert use. Thus no starch ever
hardened a Menuhin concert shirt,
no hard collar, and only a soft silk
narrow backless vest-belt over his
trousers, which is neither a vest
nor a belt. Yehudi Menuhin re
lies on his tailor’s tapemeasure
and his careful diet for his trou
sers to stay up when he goes

Oregon Victory Bell
Completes Wandering
Oregon’s victory bell, the subject of conjecture and won
derment for more than three weeks, has been located. Rumors
that the hell was on the OSC campus were proved false.
Jim Rathbun, president of the Order of the “0” and the
Beta house, announced last night that the hell was in their
living room. It was the Betas who had charge of the hell all
term, and who suddenly discov
ered that it was gone. They ad
mitted last night that they had
thought the Kappa Sigs had had
it.
A letter to the editor of the
Emerald and campus gossip
pointed to students of Oregon
State as the culprit.
It was through a “leak,” Rath
