By BOB STILES The Oregon casaba team is in good condition today after finishing the last heavy work-out of the week. The injuries suffered by Borrevik and Hamilton have healed, and although Hamilton did not take part in last night's practice game he will be ready to see action in the coming game with Oregon State. Another addition to the team is Bill Mayther, player in the East West Shrine football game. He had several years of basketball experience in Spokane and he will be ready to play in the coming series. The Oregon State Beavers were very unimpressive in their pre season games, winning three and losing five. Gill's men looked well against the Washington team at the Astoria Jamboree and they have had a high scoring team in all their conference games to date. They won two from Idaho and then lost two close ones to Wash ington State. The Beavers have been hard hit by the armed forces taking three of their best guards. To fill the ^aps left by these men, the re serve ranks of forwards furnish ed the men and were thus weak ened. They were weakened by the loss of these men but the resulting combination worked as well and perhaps even better than the first quintet. One of the most pleasing fea tures of the road trip to Gill was that Allen Anderson, speedy freshman guard, found his scoring eye for the first time this season. He poured in 37 points against the Vandals and Cougars and may be the answer to the Beavers’ need for a consistent scorer. Guard Fred “Happy” Lee and For j*i'-'ard Bernie McGrath also scored well in the opening conference games, each racking up 31 points. In the last practice sessions the Beavers had, Gill stressed de fense because it was this that caused their defeat in the two games with Washington State. In one game they held a lead of 24-14 at the half and then lost 45-41 as their defense fell apart in the sec ond period. To send the Beavers back to Corvallis still stinging from the snap of the Ducks bill will take every effort that the team can put forth. Amphibians Plan Meet On the calendar for the Am phibians is the coming Inter-Col legiate Telegraphic meet. Betty Crabb, student sponsor for the meet, has already exchanged con siderable correspondence with twenty-five other colleges and plans are full speed ahead. Last year, when Washington State sponsored the meet, our own ducklings were receiving the con gratulations as winners. It is highly possible, when the scores come in, that again the Oregon women will have swum to victory. Webfoot Wanderers Plan Winter Hikes Another sub-club under WAA, the Webfoot Wanderers, are still kindling the flames of their activ ities. Friday evening they had a formulated plans for the sunny afternoons of winter term and for those glorious days of spring. With maps spread about and pencils tracing proposed routes, the enthusiasm of spring last year was renewed. And the trips by bike, by foot and even one or two part-way by car sounded intrigu ing and inviting. Dorothy Dixon, publicity manager of the group, anounced that any woman stu dent or faculty member was wel come to participate in the activ ities. Further announcement of plans will be printed in the Em erald. Five out of every six members of the 1943 graduating class in the agriculture at Washington State college are in the armed service.

BILL PHILLIPS . . . . . . rugged freshman guard from Roosevelt high iu Portland, is a regular on the 194-1 Webfoot quintet. Washington Teams Tied for Top Place Washington and Washington State are tied for the lead of the northern division, Pacific coast basketball conference.

Canis Lupus Collegicus (Continued front page two) assraent, he exclaims, as he stumbles down the steps, “See yo' ta’morrow, if Sue ain’t at home.’’ Anyway he gets the title of “Wolf.’’ Now getting to the “wolf” of this thing, it is found firstly that a wolf, according to Webster, is a large doglike carnivorous mam mal. Just show me a girl who would run around with a carniv orous mammal. Secondly, (still Webster), we find that a wolf is "any of various larvae of certain small beetles or moths which infest granaries.” Does anyone know a girl who en joys an afternoon with some larva in a granary? And thirdly a wolf is “a harshness due to faulty vi bration in certain tones in bowed instruments.” Now our “swooner boomer” may have harshness due to faulty vibration, but he certain ly is not a bowed instrument. It’s rumored that a certain com mittee would have a whole house ful of faulty vibrations, but using our friend, Coe Jollege, as an ex ample who ever heard of a dog like mammal, a beetle larva or a bowed stringed instrument, enter taining five girls at a dance, let alone kissing Jessie good nite on the porch (of all places). So why call a “Wolf” a wolf when ten to one he isn’t? (Isn’t logic wonderful ?) The Honorable C. J. Hambro, president of the Norwegian par liament and of the League of Na tions assembly, is the headline speaker scheduled for the sixty eighth annual session of the Southeast Missouri Teachers association. Girls’ Basketball Games Coming; inter-house Play to be Stressed It's in the sky—it’s a man—-it's superman—no it’s a basket ball. It conies toward the basket like a comet, bounces off the backboard, misses the basket completely, everyone passes out from the exertion, and the coach tears her hair and wonders i! there is any hope for the team. BOB CVVENESS . . . . . . sophomore from McMinnville anil a. member of the 1943 frosh quintet, is an outstanding forward on the 1944 Oregon team. Ami this happens about every evening; around four or live o'clock in the girls’ gym wh-ere you will find members of the vari - ous living organizations on fjte campus practicing for the coming; basketball intramuruls. The tiano is growing closer and closer fm' the opening; game of the gi-rlV basket ball season, and as the t no grows nearer the hustle and bustle around the gym of the practicing teams is growing more and re-are intense. Tuesday night many of the top teams were out warming up fov the coming games and practicing' tricky plays that will fool anyone. The combination of Marianne Blenkinsop, guard; and I'omt-i Flower, forward-; for University house will offer a definite threat to any team. Of course, we should never bur get Mary Alderson who refe-reew many of the games and is always around to help some poor unfort unate basketball player keep lu-r legs front getting tangled where she has the ball. According; to Mary,., the. versatile.. Geoirgiie Adams, who plays either forward! or guard for the Orides, will he one person for any tcan. 1 o vvafcln for. Tuesday night the ADPi’s and the Gamma Phi’s played a spit itecH practice game. Although there was no score kept the game was as as exciting and well played as any league game.
