: Emerald Sports Staff I Accepts Beaver Offer 4 k In a misguided attempt to regain lost ath letic prestige the Oregon State Barometer has challenged this department of the Emer ald to a basketball game in Corvallis on the eve of the “Civil War." W e accept—but definitely. The challenge appeared in the Corvallis paper last week. We are sorry we didn't see the item then but at the time we didn't think the Barometer .had a sports staff, leave alone a basketball team. The game is to be played in the men's gym iu Corvallis. We would rather it be played on a basketball court but we realize that certain considerations must be given to make a ball game of it. So we 11 play in men's gym. We have wired Edwin Atherton to come north for the game. In a capacity of referee, umpire, timekeeper, and score keeper we feel he will give the Emeraldites a break. We’ll be there.

Starting in place of the “Cruiser," will be Merritt Kufferman, a one-year lettennan who has seen plenty of action this year. Bill Bartels replaced Ashcom on the traveling squad. IJavis Out Also on the sick list is Bill Da vis, sophomore fullback. He made the jaunt as an assistant trainer, and will be used only in the event that Roblin is mangled and has to be carried off the field. Although they made the trip. Scrappy Rhea, Jim Shephard, and Val Cullweli are doubtful participants, llhea and Colwell, both first string guards, are suffering from ankle injuries, and will possibly lie replaced by Bob Davis and Henry Steers.

The Delts took the first game by virtue of a last minute rally eking out a 15-12 victory. How ever, Sigma Chi came back led by Dick Burns and turned in a 16-14 decision over the Delts. The game went into overtime before the necessary two-point m a r g i n could be reached. The last game found the win ners leading all the way ex tending their bulge during the final points at one time only holding a !)-8 lead.

Flakes and slugs arc trapped; and the smoke is whirl-cooled ns it winds its way through the filter. | jj 1 Duck Tracksters Run | | Cross Country Race | It wasn't a Sadie Hawkins day race when 121 cross country stu dents, varsity and freshman trackmen took off on a two and one-half mile trek around the vi cinity of the athletic area Wed nesday, but it could easily have been just that. The contest was sponsored and directed by Colonel Bill Hayward, Oregon's veteran track and field coach. It was held in the interest of military track and field train ing ,and Hayward announced that he was so pleased with the turn out that he would attempt to hold another in the near future. L. A. McGee, assistant professor of physical education, assisted Hay ward in directing the contest. Although varsity trackmen, Don Wilson and Tom Boylen, set the pace, freshman Bob Merri field won the race. Either Wilson or Boylen probably could have outsprinted Merrifield in the stretch, but they had six more miles to run that evening, so were satisfied with second a third. The winning time was 12:46. Colonel Bill announced that he had received an invitation to send two men to Spokane to enter a four-mile cross coun try event there this month. Thus far, Wilson and Boylen are the logical candidates, but such enthusiasm as that of Merrifield and others is liable to press tiie two varsity men. The first ten to finish were in this order: Bob Merrifield, Don Wilson, Tom Boylen, Elbert Da is, Dick Finnell, Bob Mueller, John Helmet’, John Arens, Lynn Freemen, and Don Broderick.
