By BOB STILES Oregon’s Webfoots are in Seattle today where they will take on the Univesrity of Washington Huskies. It’s the opening of the northern division hoop struggle between five of the coast's best casaba-hoisting clubs. Traveling with Coach Howard Hobson will be a party of ten players and a manager. This group will attempt to upset the heavily-favored Huskies. The men making the trip are: George Bfay, Bob Caviness, Dick Humphreys, Wally Borrevik, Bob mmuion, rsiu j-niinps, nirme joan ner, Norman Henwood, Edwin Al len, Marion Huff, and manager Nick Weddle. The probable start ing lineup will be Caviness and Humphreys at the forward posi tions, Bray at center, and Hamil ton and Phillips as guards. Included in the traveling team is Wally Borrevik, one of last year’s lettermen; and Ernie Dan ner, the newcomer from Eugene high. As these men have not com pletely rounded into condition, they will probably see only lim ited action. Coach Hobson will run the team though a light work-out at the University pavilion to prepare them for the Friday and Saturday night games. When the outcomes of the games are known, it will not be difficult to determine the caliber of this year’s team. The Ducks are entering the game on the lower end of the odds. This is because they will be facing a team com posed entirely of veteran players of college ball. A small matter like being considered to have nothing more than an outside chance to win will not daunt the spirits of the fiery squad gath ARMY STUDENTS BE SURE AND VISIT DeNeffe ’ s FOR Poplin Shirts $3.50 Officer^' Shirts $12.50 Army Ties $1.00 Army Shoes $6.85 Army Shoes $8.85 Army Short Sox 3prs.$1.25 Army Long Sox 2prs. $1.25 Esquire Shoe Polish ^ 25c and for the SENIOR BALL We are prepared wants for Tuxedo to supply your wants for Tuxedo wear | $33.50 to $39.50 and Remember ^ We also rent Tuxedos DeNeffe ’ s McDonald Tteater Bldg.

Registration Figures Approach Fall Total Former totals for this term were topped Thursday when reg gistration reached 1607. This com pares favorably with Fall term final registration which was 1738, Cliford L. Constance, assistant registrar said. Commenting on the total, he said that this is the first time for a good many years that Winter term has held up so well in com parison with Fall term. “It looks as if we have reached the bottom of the drop," he re marked, “and indications are that we will improve from now' on."

C; AGNEY, BOGART iOMA y# Family of Prof Proven Old One An article in the Geneva (New York) Daily Times describes the history of the family of Dr. Rob ert E. Cushman, professor of re ligion at tlie University. A copy of this article was sent to Dr. James H. Gilbert, dean of the col lege of liberal arts, by Dr. Paul Baldridge of Geneva. Dr. Cushman is a direct de scendant and namesake of Robert Cushman who was one of the pil grims, chartered the Mayflower and preached the first sermon ev er to be printed in America. The article commemorates Robert Cushman and Thomas Cushman, Robert's son, who suc ceded Elder Brewster as pastor of the colony. In discussing Dr. Cushman’s father, the article states: "In their long line of descendants contain ing the names of numerous emin ent divines, Bishop Ralph S. Cush man, D.D., L.LD. of St. Paul, Minnesota is doubtless the present generation's most conspicuous perpetuator of their forefathers' preaching tradition.1’ FOR THAT j BIG COKE DATE!
