Yes, his name is Del Smith—this promising basketball player
who will represent the University during the 1944-45 season.
This tall, good-looking fellow comes from Rainier, Oregon,
where he played basketball, and he tells us, by the way, that
basketball there was good. Del is six feet, two and a half inches
tall, and weighs one hundred and ninety pounds.
A freshman, Del believes that
the Ducks will have a good team
this year, and that it is destined
to make a good record. Del also
iayealed that he prefers red-head
ed girls.
Dick Williams
The UO team this year seems
likely to establish a name as a tall
and fast team, and our latest pros
pect, Dick Williams, is no excep
tion.
Dick is six feet, two inches and
after a few practice sessions, has
proven that he is no slowpoke on
the floor. Last year, while attend
ing Lincoln high school in Portland,
Dick was selected on the all city
team, a distinction coveted by ail
Portland prep players.
Because of the good material at
the University this year, Dick also
thinks the outlook for the team is
“plenty good." It has been learned
also that Dick approves of bru
nettes.

■Roosevelt administration we should
discount those charges since they
are intended not for the realists,
but for the emotionally unstable,
the armchair economists, and the
Victorian economists.

spotlight on the first chorus.
Major Glenn Miller and band
were lined up against the wall of a
German hangar in France last
month according to a set of pic
tures received by RCA Victor
studios. The pictures showed the
major and his men with their over
coats, hats and gloves on making
the fine jive for which Glenn is so
popular. Even Miller was playing
trombone with his hands encased in
fur gloves.
We can't say much on the Harry
James “Is You or Is You Ain't”
coming to Eugene question ’cause
we don’t know much more than
anyone else on that subject, or any
other subject as far as that’s con
cerned. But in regard to the old
Duke again, he’s been booked for
the Roxy theater on Broadway.
The Roxy is Brdwy’s biggest "pro
duction’’ theater playing name
bands. Ellington’s engagement is a
repeat one he made last July. Artie
Shaw will play East coast theaters
in December, and George Carey
will be playing- a good many dances
at the University of Oregon this
season. Despite many rumors io
the contrary, we of this column
feel that Carey’s band is really
reet. The fella’s ain’t got no library
and their repertoire is nothing but
jam, but they’ve got a good beat.

can all have your Jam For Break
