Texas Seeks College Men FcrAirCorps Only fools and foreigners—so ;oes the saying—will attempt to predict the weather in Texas. But, excluding those rather du )ious groups, Uncle Sam’s rap dly expanding air corps can use specifically-trained college stu lents in just that sort of work. Four groups of civilian meteor ilogists, graded as full instruc ors, or associates, assistants or iuniors, are being sought by the *ulf coast air corps training cen er to begin immediately. The po sitions, although they carry a ■ivil service rating, will be filled iirectly at headquarters of the GCACTC with salaries ranging from $2,000 to $3,800 annually. The instructors will be placed at the training center’s five ba sic flight schools—at Wasco, Ean Angelo, Sherman, and Ran dolph field, Texas, and at End, Oklahoma. Topping the qualifications list is the request for students who have had at least a year of wea ther bureau work plus a six-se mester hour college course on the subject. With a college de gree unnecessary, applications will be unnecessary, applications will be accepted also from stu dents who have college credit in differential and integral calculus and advanced physics. For this latter group, a 10-week training school will provide the substi tute for the practical experience. Under the occupational defer mer . regulations, applicants ac cepted for the posts will not be liable for immediate call into the selective service. Ray Turner In Hoop Cellar Series DucklingsNipEugene In Swim Meet, 49-17 University of Oregon’s freshman swimming- team ended its season yesterday with a, smashing 49 to 17 win over the Eugene high school Axemen, in the men’s pool. The Ducklings powered their way to seven first places, three sec onds, and <hree thirds, while the Axemen were able to take only one first, three seconds, and three thirds. Attention Ail-Stars Independent and Greek “A” and “B" all-stars will report for practice today at 4 p.m. on the PE court. All men named' in the Emerald please be there. It will be the “fire engine’’ bas ketball of the Greek All-Stars versus the slow-break type of play used by the Independent luminaries in the “B” league game next Wednesday. This fact made itself known after both squads went through long prac tices yesterday on the PE court. The Independents may spring a surprise on the highly favored Greekmen in this “B” battle. They woi'ked well together in their first workout. Art Davis, Gamma hall, cut into the keyhole to take feeds from Kirk Wellborn and Kenny Inahara," Omega dribbling artist, to stamp him as a potential scoring threat Wednesday night. Coaches Pleased Arne Jensen and Bill Craig handled the coaching end, and they were especially pleased with the work of lanky Milt Small of Campbell under the basket and Zetan Sherm Olts’ running flips from the side. Don Bushnell, Kirk wood and Canard’s Carl Back strom also drew their praise for the way they worked the ball in close. All in all, if this club is on with their shots, they may stop the powerhouse Greeks. Greek Camp In the Greek camp of Ted Sar pola it was work and more work. Sarp broke his squad into two teams, and they proceeded to run their legs up and down the court. DU Burly Gordie Jones was sur prising fast in leading the ma chine-gun attack of the No. 1 unit, dribbling in to set up plays for Kappa Sig Jack Lansing or Sigma Chi Dick Hanen. “Chick” Cecchini, ATO, played a wicked floor game and looks like he will do a lot of rambling on the star studded court of McArthur on March 4. Today the teams will move into McArthur, if the varsity'does not schedule a special practice. Both the “A” and “B” stars will show, and the abbreviated drive will be fast and furious to hit a peak by Wednesday night. Practice for all four aggregations is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. Walters Stars Leading: the frosh was Co-Cap tain Earl Walters, who came within 9 10 second of smashing' the coast record in the 150-yard backstroke. Besides this stun ning performance, Walters an chored the 160-yard freestyle re lay team to victory, and helped the 120-yard relay team to crack the Axemen. Summary: 120-yard relay - .

The second tilt, which the Webfoots captured 35 to 30, saw the lanky lefthander toss in 18 points before retiring from the tussle on four person als.
