rounding the secret weapon,
“It,” will be cleared up at the

An eavesdropping reporter over

burlesque show.

“It” is in the twilght stage.

I've got to find out what “It” is.
JoAnne Bush: Just so “It” is a
man . . .

Today’s World
THE RUSSIAN bridgeheads
across the Oder river are the
scenes of a tremendous tank, ar
tillery, and infantry battle which
may decide the fate of Berlin,
according to Moscow reports.
Swedish sources say that more
than 300,000 Berliners have left
the city.
THE NORTHERN terminal of
the Siegfried line, Kleve, is un
der siege by Canadian forces
while that army advanced two
miles Friday. To the south the
American 1st army advanced to
within a mile of the huge
Schawammenauel dam which
controls flood waters on the
Roer river, the barrier to the
Rftur and the Cologne plain.
ENEMY RESISTANCE in
Manila has dwindled to attacks
by suicide squads left as a delay
ing action while MacArthur’s
troops have virtually cleared the
central Luzon plain to the north.

'Goodies at Booths
Maple bars and glazed dough
nuts, at 10 cents each, will be sold

Teams Clash
In Mac Court
At 8 Tonight
Victims of the wear and tear < 1’
their long basketball season, Be
casualty-ridden Ducks rolled >r»
their practice sessions yesterday
and awaited their battle with OSO
tonight in McArthur court.
The league-leading Webfo. i t
will be after their sixth straight
Oregon win over the Beavers. O' e
gon was tlie victor in four straight
games last year by scores of:
52-33, 43-3S, 46-3S. 42-39. Oregon
also topped the Aggies 31-44 i.p
their first meeting this season.
The Ducks are currently in top
place, t'wo games ahead of OS's .
and a win over the seccmd-p]a> •>
Bevos would practically insure tho
Warrenmen of at least a tie frr
the championship.
Oregon State Coach A. T. ‘'Slats:'’
Gill can boast one of the tallent
aggregations in the Northern di
vision loop. If Gill decides to, !;»
would be able to floor a five that
averages six feet, three inches.
With Ken Hays recovered suffi
ciently to probably play some of
the game, Oregon's hopes soand
almost back to a precasualty high.
Del Smith is still troubled with a
bad leg', and Warren has been lay
ing his plans to stop the Beavi ; s,
on the basis that Smith will r.- t
be in suit.
Both coaches are tentatively
planning to use a man-for-man de
fense. Oregon has been using thin
style in almost every game while
the Beavers have been using b< ■ h
the zone and man-to-man style of
defense.
The biggest task for the DikM
will be stopping Red Rocha, tne
league's top scorer with 158 point--!,
from continuing his high-scoi mg
.tactics. Rocha has averaged aimer't
20 points a. game since the early
part of the season. The Ducks will
counter with Freshman Dick Wil
kins and Bob Hamilton, both of
whom ai'c high men in the scoring
department.
