Pi Phis Prove Pigskin Packers The old campus has changed. Yep, it sure has changed. This personage has seen some weird doings in his two summers of ex istence, but if anybody had told him that girls actually played football at Oregon, he would have banged them on the head with his rattle. Seeing is believing, however, and when the bizarre spectacle is unfolded before a fellow’s eyes not once; but three or four times, he just naturally has to come around and own up to the facts. You don’t believe it even yet? Well, the place is the lawn west of the libe; the time is any eve ning either before or after sup per, and the players—well, hold your breath, fellas—the players are some of those cuddly, femi nine-appearing, demure (?) Pi Phis, no less. Furthermore, these ardent Amazons don’t just stand there, mouths agape, making lady-like passes at the ball accompanied by even more lady-like yelps and screams. Two or three of ’em can sling that spheroid like Sam my Baugh himself. And a couple can kick so adroitly and vigor ously that the soldiers who gen erally form their companions and opponents have to scramble back ward like fury to pull down that ■nil! It appears that a dam good six-man—pardon me, six-women —team might be made up of some of these lusty lassies. Bobby Van deneynde has the makings of a good quarterback, and a sturdy forward wall might be composed of Doris Laken, Dorothy Coy kenrall, and Pat Swanson. "Blocking back” posts might go to Pat McCormick and Margaret Cordon. With this team Mr. Stagg, the "grand old man of football” would lose 20 years in as many seconds. The first yearbook published by a military organization on the University of Texas campus will come out in mid-February when the University naval ROTC dis tributes its 70-page annual.
