By BOB CHAPMAN Last Fiiclay, Gil Brown, sports editor of the Oregon State Baiometei, tried to explain in his column whv Oregon State failed to field a baseball team this spring'. According' to his story, competition and difficulties in securing transportation weie the chief reasons for Oregon State's hands-off policy as far as baseball was concerned. 1 he Beaver sports writer mentioned the fact that Oregon was the only team which offered to play ball, but because of the friction between the two schools, Percy Locey decided that a ten-game series with the Ducks would t^use too much strain and worry for the Beavers. Anyhow that’s their story, but Oregon State shouldn't trv to beat around the bush and make up a fairy tale that can't hold water. 1 he true facts of the case are entirely different than those which the OSC sports editor is trying to peddle off to the students of Oregon State and the press. In the first place Oregon State refused to play ball under any circumstances because the Beavers felt that the shortage of players and the cost involved would be too much of a strain on the Aggies. After Oregon State refused to cooperate, Anse Cornell tried to schedule games with Camp Adair, the marine air base at Corvallis, Willamette, and Klamath Falls marines, but a sched td^: was impossible because the service teams didn’t have the equipment or conflictions in schedules made it impossible to draw up a playing schedule. This is the reason why Oregon isn't fielding a team this season and if Oregon State would have played ball, a successful season could have been arranged. That’s the story and Oregon .State has no one to blame but themselves for their predicament.

Averill, infantry, pro fessor of military science and tac tics, said Thursday. The second platoon carried on, despite the absence of Cadet Lt. Milton Sparks, who is temporarily ill with a sore throat. Staff Sgt. W. A. Tutt, D.E.M.L., announces that he will conduct a makeup class for listed cadets at 9 a.m., Saturday, April 28. The theoretical classes will not wear uniforms to class this week, as they will do practical work in cover and concealment practice. The 11 a.m. Monday freshman class has been discontinued due to “shortage of students.” Merits for the week ending April 21, as announced by Major Averill, were awarded to: Henry S. Kinsell, Jr., Allan H. Pierce, Earl F. Thompson; William R. Adams, Clifford A. Brooks, Tom P. Day, Donald C. Eaton, Herman E. Mills, John L. Rader, Howard G. Roberts, Kenneth W. Roberts, Robert R.

Heard at the Holland: “What’ll you have—Scotch, wine, beer, gin, rye?” Student (after a term of social pro): “Yes, SIR!” “Sorry, but I can’t give you an appointment today. I have 18 cav ities to fill this afternoon,” said the dentist as he put the receiver back on the hook, picked up his golf clubs and left the office. Revolutionary Changes (Continued from page one) money to buy bonds on the cam pus. New Type Contest In contrast to the “girlie” con tests of previous drives, a very different type of contest for the living organizations has been scheduled by Marge Skordahl, originator of the idea. The plans for the contest will be revealed in Wednesday’s Emerald. The fourth innovation of the 7th war loan drive will be an all campus auction at which students will bid against each other for prizes of an unusual sort. The auc tion will open the drive on May 8, and bonds and stamps will be the medium of exchange. The drive will feature at 8 p.m., May 10, an all-county rally assem bly in McArthur court. Coming to Eugene for the program will be the staff of radio station KGW, Portland, including such personal ities as Glen Shelley, Patsy Bau man, and Homer Welch. Also, the YOUR SHOES HAVE TO DO DOUBLE DUTY NOW! Keep them in good repair by taking them to CAMPUS SHOE SHOP winners of the Junior Weekend All-Campus Sing will appear. In addition," the seventh war loan drive will include a coke day to be held May 9 at the College Side. Included in the University quota will be all stamp purchases made at the auction, coke day, the assembly, and at the May 7 dime dinners. To conclude the four-day drive, the committee is working on the possibility of presenting an all campus dance on Friday, May 11. With the cooperation and all-out effort of every Webfoot, the sev enth war loan drive promises to be the most successful and entertain ing bond campaign staged at the University of Oregon. Hinds Replies (Continued from page two) agree with that, completely, and refer Mr. Sinnott to my original manuscript, entitled “A Brief His tory of Franco's Rise to Power.” Does Mr. Sinnott have a reference? The honorable Dr. Sheldon had a truly intellectual attitude. His statements are true. I do not praise Franco's politics, even if the head line of my article does suggest such a thought. I do emphatically, admire and respect him as a sol dier. Some notes on the Spanish war may be found in the “New Inter national Year Book,’’ 1936-7-8-9, and the “Americana Annual,” 1936 7,8-9. In both cases, gaze at the material printed under “Spain.” Newspaper files of that range of dates might possibly contain some thing of the sort. I had taken it for granted that certain things would be understood as being quotations; nevertheless, it has evidently stimulated more interest than any other recent ar ticle.
