When I see a paper, any kind of paper, I like to see how
the different sports editors handle their columns. I definitely
feel that Bob brank in the OSC Barometer missed his field com
pletely when he took up the job of writing a column to let the
school know how things were going in the field of sports.
After reading his article from the issue of Tan. 18—von know.
the issue immediately following
the game in Eugene between the
^Beavers and the Ducks—I believe
he should be congratulated on the
fine way he twisted the facts into
a fictional story.
The first thing that came to
my attention was the statement
that the Beavers could have won
the game if their shots had gone
through the hoop. This is the fund
amental rule of basketball—al
ways to play in such a manner as
to be able to put the ball through
the basket. I admit that they
could have won had their shots
been good, but I will also say that
even a high school team playing
against the Ducks could win if
they made all the shots that they
^ould take. Frank says that “if
the Orangemen had played the
type of ball they are capable of the
score would have been different.”
Well, by the same scale of consid
eration, the second game the Web
foots played in Seattle the score
would have been different had the
Ducks ever received the ball to
take a shot at the basket.
Considering that the students
that attended the game were
mostly freshmen that had never
heard the Oregon yells we think
they did very well for themselves.
Mr. Frank said, “We are not tell
ing this to stir up antagonism but
^father as a pitiable story and also
as a hint to you Beaver rooters.”
If the school spirit at Oregon
State is such that it takes a plug
in the Barometer to stir it up, I

would like to be in Corvallis to
hear OSC yells when Washington
thunders in upon Mr. Frank.
“When our cheer leaders get
out there to lead a yell, really
Iwom out. If you don’t know the
words, boom out anyway. (That
will really be good). Let’s make
them so loud that they will echo
in the ears of Hobbie Hobson down
in Eugene, and let it remind him
that we have three more games
with Oregon and after those
games he will be laughing out of
the other side of his face.
“Not that we wish Mr. Hobson
any bad luck for actually we
hardly know him, but if Oregon
doesn’t have any more spirit than
demonstrated Saturday, he cer
tainly can't have much of a team
to back up.’’ This was part of the
concluding paragraph of his col
umn.
It must have been stories like
this that the heads of our nation
had been reading when they came
to the conclusion that the news
space in all American papers could
be greatly reduced.

Teams Begin Preparations
For Coming Activity Season
Activity, activity, activity is the
word around the girl’s gym today
as the preparations for the vari
ous intramural sports grows near
er and nearer to an end and a be
ginning. It is the end of practice,
but the beginning of real compe
tition for a lot of top players and
teams. With basketball games
starting January 21, badminton
games soon to begin, and table
tennis games to begin the week
of the 24, we can really see activ
ities in process.
For our basketball team of the
week, we choose the Delta Gam
ma’s who have a strong team to
offer to any competitors. Under
the able leadership of Margurite
Losli, the Dee Gee’s have turned
out in such strength that they
have enough good all-around play
ers for two teams. Their all star
and efficient forwards are a defin
ite asset to the team. Leading
them is Helen Johns, an all around
good player. Also in this trio of
forwards is the speedy Shirley
Gray and Jackie Kinfield.
Not only do the Dee Gee’s have
strong forwards, but their guards
play a beautiful defensive game.
Guard Rosie Alber is a precision
player when it comes to handling
the ball, and Phyllis Miller is an
other strong guard for the Dee
Gee’s. Added strength to the Dee

According to Pat Howe who is
head of the table tennis intra
murals there are going to be some
very good and exciting games
played. With the single elimina
tion type of tournaments, every
player will be doing her best on
every game. A definite threat to
her opponents in table tennis is
Betty Lou Cramer from Highland
house.
Pat Howe also reported that
there is talk of a consolation tourn
ament for the players who are
eliminated early in the games.
Entries to participate in the
tournament must be in by Jan
uary 21.
February 2 and 9 are the days
for the swimming intramurals
and there are now definite sounds
of activity as the various house
teams and swimmers begin to
practice and get organized for the
coming meets. A strong team is
reported for the ADPi’s with Lois
Winsley, Charolette Wicky, Doris
Trask, and Carmen Green turning
out for the meets.

Basketball Play
Begun by Girls
The official girl's basketball
season was opened Thursday with
four scheduled games. Two of the
games, however, were, forfeited
because the teams cither didn't
show up or were late. Highland
house was given the game from
the Kappa's who were late and
the Pi Phi’s forfeited their game
to the Hilyard house.
Upset of the day was the Sigma
Kappa's win over Theta’s, 19 to
9. The game was fast and hard
but the Theta's were not up to
their usual par. The game was
characterized by especially good
sportsmanship by both teams
despite a lot of fouls.
The Gamma Phi's won their
game against Mill lodge 15 to 7.
The Alpha Xi Delta-Alpha. Gam
ma Delta game was nip and tuck
from start to finish. The Alpha
Gams led all of the first half
and at half time they were ore
point ahead. The second half was
exciting and rough but a very well
played game by both sides. The
final score gave the Alpha Xi’s
an edge of 14 to 12 over the Alpha
Gams.
There will be open house at the
YWCA this evening from 7:30 to
10:00, everyone is welcome.
Pre-Met Quint to Meet:
A. A. U. Oregon's'
The air corps pre-metu will'
play their first home game ©tf Uio
season Sunday at 3 p. m. under’
the arc lights in McArthur court.
The opposition will consist of s>,
well-rounded team known aa the
"Oregonians” in the A .ATI
League. Little is known about the
"Oregonians’’ except that they are
sitting in first place in the A,.A U.
and have a strong aggregation.
As for the air corps boys, they
have played just one ball game
against an independent Spring
field quintet, and the Hendrick a
hall cagers came out on the Jong
end of a 46-31 score. Last Mon
day the pre-mets scrimmaged tho
ASTU five and soundly trounced
the engineers 50-13. However,
"Honest John” Warren did rot
play four of his starting engineer
five and this scrimmage, therefore,
could hardly be used as a compar
ative basis of the ability of the
two quintets.
The starting lineup for the pre
mets will probably have Hitched,
Thompson, and Butchus, with the
other two sports wide. open.
