Several of the challenges which
were set forth last week have been
accepted and schedules will be
worked out by the newly-appointed
^athletic directors.
One week of practice may be
necessary before any games can be
played but after the season gets
started competition should be keen.
Campbell club, Phi Gamma Del
ta, Kappa Sigma, and Sigma Nu
will participate in the six-man
football league of the touch vari
ety. Touch may not sound rugged
but hard blocking and rugged foot
ball is in order even though the
playing is in a vacant lot.
Managers Named
Athletic managers are: Camp
bell club, Jerry Mosby; Phi Gamma
Delta, George Holloman; Kappa
* Sigma, Eddie Uglesich; and Sigma
Nu, Bill O’Hearn. These men are
responsible for arranging sched
ules, developing sports interest
among the fellows, and supporting
athletic drives.
The most important drive of the
year, the athletic card drive, is at
the halfway mark and since the
art of dribble and swish is just
around the corner everyone who
hasn’t obtained a season pass
should do so now, while the low
rate is in effect.
Sixteen games for the price of
five is the bargain; included are
eight season games, two of these
with the Beavers, and eight pre
season tilts. Athletic cards are be
ing sold by the various athletic di
rectors and house chairmen.
Varsity prospects aren’t the onlv
fellows interested in basketball, oi
so it seems. Already the AST unit
is looking forward to playing the
various houses in the next two
months before they leave the cam
pus.
Co-ops Commence

men's cooperatives. Men who wish
to apply for membership and save
on their room and board fees are
urged to file an application at the
office of the department of soci
ology or to see Dr. Jameson in
person.
It was not learned whether or
not the Co-op News, the official
publication of the Students’ Co
operative association, would be
published this year.

Up From
The UO
By PEGGY OVERLAND
The tall blonde with the long'
legs and the snappy strut that you
used to see out in front of the
University band during the good
old days when football games
weren’t as rare as chinchillas, is
now an important member of the
Sonja Henie ice troupe. How she
exchanged the baton for skates is a
brief and dazzling story, and one
that 22-year-old Mary Anderson
can hardly believe herself.
A major in physical education on
the campus before she graduated
in 1943 with a B.S., Mary Ander
son gained a fairly wide reputation
from 1939 to 1943 as one of the
highest steppers any University
band marched behind. Dressed in
the conventional brief costume,
she displayed such an ability to
toss the baton without losing one
of her snappy steps, that a pic
ture of her in action appeared on
one of the national sports maga
zines as the best majorette in the
northwest.
Spotted by Talent Scout
But her main interest was phys
ical education and on her gradua
tion a year ago, continued to teach
the subject at Medford for a year.
In June this summer she went to
UCLA for summer school work.
While skating at Los Angeles’
Westwood Gardens, she was spot
ted by a movie scout who gave her
a featured place in two ice num
bers from the picture, “Lake
Placid Serenade,” Republic’s 51,
500,000 musical starring Vera
Hruba Ralston, Czechoslovakian
skating' star and Olympic games
veteran.
Next week, Mary Anderson
leaves Los Angeles for a tour of
eastern cities with the Sonja Henie
skating troupe. In the meantime,
Republic plans to use her in later
films where baton twirling is re
quired, but she has no aspirations
for dramatics, so far.
Active on Campus
Active while on the campus, be
ing prominent as secretary of
WAA, a member of Phi Theta Up
silon, Amphibian, the band and or
chestra, Mary Anderson is Ore
gon’s Cinderella girl. An ice skater
for only a short time—since the
Eugene ice skating rink opened —
she has probably jumped into suc
cess faster and on less experience
than any other skater in the na
tion. Just how far it carries her
will depend upon her own abilities
as a good showgirl, but memories
of her as the glitter girl down front
of the band testify only to the very
best of luck.
Fun Draws

wore formals and looked very
southern belle-ish in the dim light.
As in every other place last night —
more women than men, but every
one having fun.
Sponsored by the Methodist
church, Wesley house on the cam
pus gave a barn dance. Bales of
hay, saddles, old ox yokes, and
other paraphernalia reminiscent of
the good old days when men were
more abundant were propped
around. A sign over the door said,
“Go Wesley, young man,” and in
side there were light and noise and
a square danoe in progress. We told
the girl at the door we were from
The Kmerald and she said, “Oh.”
So we left them again. Well, it
looked nice, anyway.
At Westminster house, sponsored
by the Presbyterian church, I was
grabbed by a coed in a red coat
who said “You are just what I
need. All you have to do is look
simple,” and with no further cere
money I was out on the stage.
“Hey,” she said to the man there—

in front of all those people, "I want
you to meet my girl friend," drag
ging me forward with that. I
looked simple enough, evidently,
"No thanks, I already have one,"
he answered. And with that Docile
and I made tracks down the wet
rainy streets. Everyone at the
house laughing gaily and enjoying
themselves as we did so.
So we went to the Armory, got
in free as reporters, shook hands
with Frankie Masters who had just
left Slapsie Maxie's in Hollywood
and the Golden Gate theater in
'Frisco. We told him we were cov
ering church night and he was giv
ing us competition. He smiled and
the band played “Where Have I
Heard That Song Before" or some
