By F. CARRICK Associated Press, International News Service and United Press have already telegraphed reser vations for their key sports writ ers to he on hand this coming Tuesday afternoon at 4 p.m. when the great Sigma Delta Cili crew goes about its annual busi •|ss of crushing another campus ganization, Alpha Delta Sigma. Already booked for passage to Eugene are the following sports columnists and writers: Bill Co rum, Sid Feder, Bob Considine, Henry McLemore (forsaking his regular news column) John Gard ner, Giantland Rice and many, - many others. The three national .networks, National Broadcasting company, Mutual Broadcasting . System, and-Columbia Broadcasting Sys tem-plan .to carry a play-by-play report of the entire affair, with crack commentators Bill Stern, Don Murphy, and Ted Husing ready to paint a vivid picture to listening audiences. All other national sports cov erages will have to take a sec ond seat to this gigantic opus. talthough the ADS men were ing to bolster up fallen cour age in the hopes to drive away pre-game jitters, campus experts were of the opinion that the jour nalists would again come through with a smashing triumph. Bud “The Rod’’ Vandeneynde an nounced yesterday that his ADS crew had already enjoyed the lux uries of one workout, and that he expected the gang to be in full shape to take its annual trimming. There has been no further word from the hospital ^ where Captain Patrick Cloud lies on a white-sheeted bed, suffering in physical agony from a bruised cuticle. Sigma Delta Chi lads plan to use either King Iilam Kuhl or Roy Paul Nelson on the mound. ther man will be effective in ifewashing the advertising representatives. Alpha Delta Sigma will throw Jim Harrison against the power sur.ken line-lip of SDX hitters. Harrison will take the hill to morrow against the Law School squad. Any treatment he receives in that game will be mild com pared to the mauling he is bound to receive at the hands of the writer athletes. Women and children are ad vised not to come to the slaugh ter as the sight of ADS blood isn’t a pleasant one. “AH’M PICKIN’ SDX” . . . . says this little street ara!> 9° was found pungling liis last “Tootsie Roll’’ on the big news writing team. Millions of people all over the nation, like this kid. are squandering their wads on the SDXers. “LOOK FELLOWS, NO HANDS! : : ” . . . this Alpha Delta Sigma outfielder practices up on his line-drive catching technique for the big battle Tuesday afternoon at 4 p.m. He’s only swallowed a couple, can’t talk worth a darn, but how he can field! WOW! ' By F. MANTON Hear that rumbling, echoing, and re-echoing from rock to ri!!, tremors shaking the ground, send ing tiny children crying to their consoling parents? It’s not the growing- of thunder, signifying another famous Ore gon storm. It’s the vociferous noise kicked up by the Sigma Delta Chi’s heavy artillery siege guns swinging into action in preparation for the “civil war” brawl coming off Tuesday at 4 p.m. Latest communiques emanat ing from the SDX bailiwick de scribe the news-writers as confi dent of victory, loudly proclaim ing their superiority over the ad collecting brethren. Prognosticators from the chilly fog-banked shores of Southern California to the glowing, sun-bathed stretches of sunny Maine have as a com plete unit, gone out on the end of the fartherest limb in tlieir unanimous prediction that the SDXers will make mince-meat of the tiny, unobtrusive band that mournfully goes by the name of Alpha Delta Sigma. This gigantic battle which will go down in the sports annals as another David and Goliath get together with the SDX ten, of course, as Mr. Goliath—oniy this time tiny David doesn’t appear to stand any more of a chance of pulling a fast one than Mr. Kel logg (of Pep, Corn Flakes & etc. fame) have of eating a decent breakfast food some morning. It just looks impossible. Several of the lads wearing SDX livery have been tendered oh-so-juicy offers by the N. Y. Yanks, St. Louis Cards, world champs, and the Philadelphia Philiies, to join the pro ranks. But these considerate laddies with a thought to the wishes of the sports seeing public of Eu gene and environs, have spurned all offers, to remain “OH, SO!’’ . . . . . . “put two yen on SDN team, please. Sank yo!” Those were the last words blubbered by the above Jap general before he committed honorable hari-kari with a fin ger-nail file in the face of ad vancing Yank troopers on New Guinea. Nelson Twirls (Continued from page four) tablished the SDX boys as 10-1 favorites to win the game, and 5-1 choice to shut out the advertising men. Yankee scouts will be on hand to sign up the eream of the playing material. Simon pure and present the last big sports event of the year Tuesday. Emergency bleachers have Heen installed all over Howe field to try and handle the huge throng which will storm its way madly to see this, the absolute criteria of all softball games. It'll be a tight squeeze, but the seat ing arrangement chairman has hopes of being able to accommo date the tens of thousands of spectators.

DLJ Men Moveto Finals “Birdie” \\ ren and his Delta Upsilon teamma'tes staved of? a closing rally on the part of the Alpha Tan Omega softballers yesterday to move to the final round of the IM tournament. The DU win, 5-4, came only after a hard struggle. Right-handed Kenny Hume had the DU batsmen well in check until the disastrous fifth inning which saw four runs spill across the plate. The Taus picked up two in their half of the sixth and added one in the seventh, but the effort was not cpiite enough. The ATOs were trailing by one run in the seventh. Two men were down, and Dick Allen was reposing on the third sack. Up to the plate came Bill Huggins. He caught one of Wren’s fireball heaves with a glancing blow, and the spheroid shot up skyward behind the plate. Catcher Connie Grab of the DU squad snared the pill to squelch the closing drive. Marv Les ter smacked two safeties out of three trips to the plate, to aid a vain cause. Wren, usually invincible, was clouted freely by the Taus, while the winners’ hits were of the lucky Texas League variety. The DUs meet the Sig Eps for the intramural softball title. Siqma Delta Psi List Due Warren Finke, in charge of Sigma Delta Psi competition indicated last night that the obstacle course has replaced the mile run in the forthcoming competition to be held Wednes day afternoon at 3.
