. . to reward Oregon State's triumphant Rose Bowl foot ball champions with suitable gifts — either defense savings bonds or other appropriate remembrances ...” This interesting little item appeared in yesterday’s Oregon ian. It now appears that the boys are going to do a little cashing in on their hard work. More power to them—they deserve every penny hat they get. Football players have long been recognized as one of the poorest paid group of workmen i^rthe-country. * No doubt that these gifts are being donated in the spirit of the joy which iollowed the Beaver victory, but in the opinion of this observer the Cornvalley patriots are leaving their flank open lor a pincer attack on the part of brother Atherton. After that pre-game beef with the policeman of the Pacific Coast conference athletic morals the Beavers are in a poor position to be flaunting actual out-and-out gifts under his blue nose. That is unless they expect to pull his teeth before he can do anything. Locey Squawks -Just in case you don't remember the squabble Percy (The Great) Locey told Friend Atherton that be wasn’t about to ‘"accept any ref for the bowl game unless he had a chance to pass on his “ability.” Now Atherton is supposed to be the boss and I don’t imagine he likes to have his authority questioned. Then to turn right around and give the boys cash on the barrel head—that just too much. True, the “gifts” aren’t money in the sense of the good old greenbacks-—they’re better. They are redeemable in hard cash, with interest, after three months have elapsed. Aiums Maybe? 1 don’t imagine that the Oregon State officials are actively involved in the idea but 1 will bet my bottom dollar that there are some “interested” alums doing a little work for the good qi the cause. Now I can’t see the difference in subsidizing the players before they make their athletic debuts or waiting until they get a winner. Perhaps this is a bonus and is not classed as subsidization. It is certainly nice work if you can get it. FLASH . . . Lawton Carver. INS sports editor, awarded the Emerald prize of the week for interesting features.

More trouble! Grapevine also reports that Frosh Paddler Bob Ifankey has decided not to return to school for the coming season. Hankey is one of the contingent of Long Beach, Cali fornia. swimmers that followed all-American Jack Dallas and Sherm Wetmore to the Oregon campus. Chuck Weitzel, one of the aforementioned group, is having eligibility worries. Seems as though he attended Texas TJ. last year and it is doubtful if he will be able to compete this season for the Lemon and Green varsity. Now there will be more work trying to get a balanced squad to face the strong teams that will visit the Oregon pool this season. Good luck, Mike, your fortunes are bound to change "for the better sooner or later. Note from the game we all want to forget. One of the ^Oregon football players was overheard to say, “You don’t need to worry about our offense next year—we are going to use the same one that Texas used last year.” Frosh Open Against Tillamook Five Tonight 'PORKY' Gecrge (Porky) Andrews, only bona fide regular back to bolster Hobson’s ’42 crown dreams.

Compe tition will get under way next week, so all contestants are strongly urged to sign up Fri day in order that they can be paired off, Washke said. TWO BIG FEATURES!

In a scrfttimage session during practice Tuesday Warren was using one team of Bob Erlandson and Roy Seeborg at forwards, Royal Denton, cen ter, and Sammy Crowell and Bob Reynolds at guards and it is probable that this team will take the floor at the starting whistle.
