    Following last week’s two defeats at the hands of the Seattle
coast guard, Coach John Warren announces that the University
of Oregon Ducks are preparing for the coming games this
weekend with the Willamette Navycats with a number of con
centrated workouts on defensive drill. Although the Webfoots
scored a total of 58 points in the first of the two-game series
against Ted Sarpola s live, ordin
arily enough to win a basketball
tilt, they seemed to be sadly lack
ing in organized defense, and went
under to 67 points scored by their
opponents.
Switching from a zone to a man
to man defense seemed to aid the
Ducks in slowing down the oppo
sition, but not well enough to get
by. So the team this week is spend
ing most of its time on defensive
workouts, and we should see on
improved team this weekend espe
cially in holding down the oppo
nents’ scoring ability.
Only one game will be played
on the floor of Mac court this
week, as the Ducks travel to the
capital city Saturday for the re
turn encounter with the Salem five.
Most of Oregon’s 22-man squad
will see action in these games as
both first and second team tilts
are to be played in Salem.

1940-41 Sports Editor
Pays Visit to Campus
Lt. Ken Christianson, 1940-41 co-sports editor of the Emerald**'
who took part in the D-day assault June 6 as a paratrooper, re
visited the Emerald “shack” yesterday while home on sick leave.
Ken has been stationed in England for ten months. He says
that the English people are very sincere friends and added that
his memory of English and Scot
tish history helped a great deal in
enjoying these countries.
Lt. Christianson remarked that
D-day was “a rude initiation of the
war, taut a good show.” He ranks
the British Tommies and the Scots
among the world's most courag
eous soldiers and said that the Ger
man positional troops were not
very good. Although the German
weapons were excellent, he firmly
believed that the German para
troops that he encountered were
definitely inferior to the American
paratroops.
When asked how he liked the
paratroops, Christianson replied,
"I wouldn’t be in them if I didn’t
like them.” He plans to complete
his education at Oregon or at an
eastern college as soon as possible.
Gene Brown, a former Univer
sity student, is also in Ken’s regi
ment.
When Marine Sgt. Americo M. j
Woyciesjes of Solvey, N. Y., was I
sent to New Britain in the South
Pacific, he took advantage of the ]
assignment to gather 700 addi
tional insect specimens.
It’s an old tradition at Grinnell
college, Iowa, not to have a date
for the Friday night basketba.il
games. “Basketball games are not
for dates; they are for crowds.”
