Priced at 75 cents, the banquet is open to all members of WAA and anyone interested in joining.

In charge of arrangements for the banquet are: committee chair man Yvonne Umphlette; decora tions, Ruby Florey; house con tacts, Nancy Brownell; invita tions, Margaret Murphy; and pub licity, Anita Young. Entertain ment will be included in the pro gram. Hollywood Scout (Continued from page one) After the class, the talent scout will be glad to talk to any body who wishes to be a motion picture actor or actress, regard less of the student’s previous training or experience, Mr. Rob inson said. Ottilie T. Seybolt, as sociate professor of speech and dramatic arts, and Mr. Robinson will introduce the would-be stars to Mr. Baiano. One of Mr. Baiano’s purposes in coming to Eugene was to see the University production, “The Whole Town’s Talking,” last night in' Johnson hall. Rival Health (Continued from page five) point-producing potentialities at all posts. While Gill has been waving the welcoming flags at the return of the prodigal ball player, Cecil, Oregon’s Hobby Hobson has been setting' his own house in order. Five fighting reservists have put on such a scrap this week that Hobby is once again uncer tain as tc which five men he will give the nod to dribble out on the boards tomorrow eve. Up till now the guard positions have been considered as belong ing pretty much to Captain Don nie Kirsch and midget Stan Wil liamson. But with Bob Newland’s return to form and tl^e sparkling performances of Sam Crowell and A1 Popick, the guard situa tion has Hobson in a quandary. Taller-than-tall Wally Borrevik, lankiest gent on the coast, Has pushed Freshman Boger Wiley no end in practice sessions this week. At present the center slot is strictly “toss-up.” About the “hottest” chap in the Duck company in late games has been Roy Seeborg, sophomore all-stater from Astoria. Seeborg has loosed shot after shot through the bucket in a steady flow to achieve 45 points in the last six games. Furthermore he is crowding regulars Warren Taylor and Rolph Fuhrman for the opening job Friday. The latter two turned in fine jobs against OSC last week, when the Ducks divided the series. Oregon intends to run, natur ally. Oregon State's plan of strategy will probably be con fined to the inevitable dog-trot stuff, though occasionally the Bevos have been known to open up. The 2x4 Corvallis gym will work an additional hardship on our Ducks, but should render a zone defense impregnable for both clubs. Finch junior college this year is emphasizing liberal arts courses. Town Talking Ends Tonight Final performance of “The Whole Town’s Talking’’ will be gin at 8 tonight in the Guild hall theater in Johnson hall. This farce by Anita Loos and John Emerson amused three Univer sity audiences with the scrapes of Chet Binney, James Bronson, and Henry Simmons, Bob Far row. Mr. Simmons plots the mar riage of his daughter to Chet, his business partner. The main trou ble with his plan is the daugh ter’s dislike for Binney who was a pretty baby but now finds him self unattractive to women. The girl is fascinated by a glamour ous playboy to add further com plications. The father plans a romance to arouse interest in Chet. This backfires and Binney winds up on the chandelier. The cast includes James Bron son, Chester Binney; Marge Quigley, Mrs. Simmons; Maxine McNeil, Ethel Simfhons; Bob Farrow, Mr. Simmons; Louise Rossman, Letty Lythe; Ray Dickson, Donald Swift; Merlin Dow, Roger Shields; Vivian Mc Namee, Sallie Bloom; Nelda Rohrback, Lila Wilson; Grace Dillard, Sally Otis; Vivian McNa mee, maid; and Bill Neder, taxi driver. The box office is open from 10-12 m. and from 1-5 p.m. Tick ets are 55 cents and all seats are reserved. Practice Weeks (Continued from page four) ner available, and on Saturdays, the courts were thrown wide open for use on the first-come, first play policy. The initial games proved leg weary and "pooping” for all con cerned. The coaches, having spot ted inevitable weak spots, inter changed their proteges around, seeking strong, victorious fives. This was only the beginning of the grind. For five solid weeks they con tinued on this steady diet. No one was complaining (at least not the pledges), but all of the losing quintets were rather glad to see the end of the trail. We have reached a time where the league titlists stepped off the beaten path into the pitfalls of the playoffs, where only one out fit in each the “A” and “B“ ranks can emerge triumphant and re ceive the plaudits of the others. Others Bate, Too But what about all the other deserving individuals who failed to get any more recognition than a fisspelled name on the score sheets or a “chance” plug in the Emerald spoil-sheets ? A few of those lads who played on the “wrong teams might actu ally have more skill and ability than the average run of those in the play-offs. Aren't they justly due for a little additional mention and applause too ? We sincerely think they are. Therefore, we will try to do our small share, and make every thing as fair as possible. How, you ask ? Selections Well, within the next few days we are going to publish the of ficial 1943 Emerald All-Star fives. To pick the most outstand ing from an original bunch of 500 is certainly not the most easy task in the world, but we will do our best. So, watch the Emerald. Jewelry Exhibit Hay Gray, representative of the L. G. Balfour company, has an nounced a display of fraternity jewelry. The exhibition will be at the Side from 9 to 11 and from 2 to 5 Thursday.

Sherry Ross (Continued from f’age five) Hamilton decided the affair in favor of the Rossmen. Gerald Po testio and Elliot Wright chalked up nine points apiece to lead the scoring.

Taylor Betas Triumph Thrills galore was the theme as the Betas and the Theta Chis battled through four quarters and an overtime before Quent Side singer's push shot from the cor ner gave the Betas an 18 to 16 de cision. Marred by frequent rough ness and a slam bang style of play, the game nevertheless proved to be the most exciting of the afternoon. Accurate shoot ing provided the margin of vic tory since the Theta Chis out shot the winners by a wide mar gin. Defenses of both teams were especially effective during the early part of the game with the half ending with the score 7 all. Betas, 18 16, Theta Chi Crawford, 4.F. 6, White Blake, 4.

Steelhammer S. 1, Davis Nus Topple Despite John Bubalo’s 8 points, the Awful Awfuls moved into the “A” finals by virtue of their nar row 18 to 16 upset of the Sigma Nus. A first quarter splurge gave the independent aggregation an 11 to 2 lead and showed signs of becoming a Walk-away. The Sig mas after staging a third quar ter rally moved to within two points of a tie and from then on in things were nip and tuck. A long shot from the side in the last two minutes by Georgie Booras put the game on ice for the winners.

Westminster House Plans Special Dance Westminster house will hold a special dance Friday night from 8 to 12 instead of the usual open house. The dance will be formal with no flowers. The theme will be “Boy-date-girl, girl-date-boy,” in other words, dates are in order but flowers aren’t, Westminster authorities declared Wednesday. Tickets will be on sale at the house for 50 cents until dance time, it was announced. It was also announced that the Westminster council will have its picture taken for the Ore gana at 12:40 today. Oregon Mermen (Continued from page four) for the coming; meet with the powerful squad of the University of Washington that Oregon meets Saturday at Seattle. Oregon still lacks a diver for the team, and this has been the only hole where previous com petition has sneaked in some points. In fact, this has been the leak where both the Oregon State and Washington State teams re ceived the majority of their total points. Diving Trouble Coach Mike Hoyman has been trying out boys already on the squad as a diver so at least Ore gon can get some third places in the diving events. Especially in the coming meet with the Uni versity of Washington will this be vitally important because ev ery point that Oregon can total will be a decisive factor in win ning the meet. Pennington Out Hqyman has not, as yet, chos en the man who will dive in Sat urday’s meet, but promised to have one by Saturday. Jack Pen nington, freshman, who origin ally dove for the squad, broke an ear drum in the first meet and consequently has remained out of competition. Mountaineering coursese were part of summer curriculum at the University of Colorado. mrrnrwui m m i ti E Stanley Jones* (Continued from pane one) Mrs. Jones is a member of a dis trict board in India which is re sponsible for all schools, roads, and the levying of income tax. She is the only woman and the only Christian on this board, all other members being Mohamme dan or Hindu men. She became a member at their urgent request. Beacuse of the war, which makes travel across the Pacific impossible, Dr. Jones will not be able to return to resume his work in India until the end of hostilities. In the meantime he is holding Christian Missions from week to week under the sponsorship of the department* 1 evangelism of the federal coun cil of churches of Christ in Amer ica. While here he will speak at eight various programs, two be ing held especially for students —the assembly, and an interfaith banquet the next Thursday eve ning in Gerlinger hall. Sigma Kapps Win (Continued from page jive) were “red hot” — the result was bad for the A.D.Pis. Marie Eck strom showed out especially well at guard. Janet Ross, A.D.Pi forward, netted some beautiful shots, es pecially toward the end of the game. Her guard mate, Mary El len Smith, was a tower of strength defensively. I High scorers were Miss Carson with 23 tallies, and Pat Howard with 10. Janet Ross scored 10 for the losers. Sigma Kappa (33) Pts Fouls Pat Carson, f.22 0 Pat Howard, f .10 0 Elva Granquist, f .
