By Bob Chapman Don't forget your STUDENT BODY CARD for Saturday’s game because if you do it will be just that much tougher on your rapidly depleting checking account (if you're lucky enough to have one), because, as of the first of this term, all athletic privi leges are included in your tuition fee. In the last few years students had the opportunity to buy ath letic cards at a discount each term but from now on tuition fees will take care of all damission.fees for sports events on the cam pus except championship playoffs. Leicht and Reynolds Speaking of playoffs and the like, yours truly would like to remind Tex Oliver of a statement lie made in the spring of 1941. Quote, "Jake Leicht will take Oregon to the Rose Bowl.” This is as good a year as any so why not do it this season ? V ith the return of All-American Jake Leicht to the campus Tuesday there is every reason to believe that Leicht and Rey nolds can take Oregon to the Rose Bowl as did Boh Dethman and Don Durdan at Oregon State in 1941. Our boys played a great game at Seattle last Saturday and if their first performance is any indication of what is in store for Oregon grid followers watch those AYebfoots go. Last week the Los Angeles Times came out with a story stating that the Oliver 4'wist would go places this season and that Oregon was being overlooked as a threat to the "Big Four.” Closed Practice Again Washington played a smoother game of ball than Oregon’s understaffed ball club did, but with a week of practice behind closed doors Tex should have a few new tricks up his sleeve for the Idaho game here Saturday. Reynolds has been under close observation all week. Leave it to trainer Bob Officer to take care of the casualties, but he is expected to see limited action against the Vandals. Oregon’s schedule is tough but since the Navy Trojans, as they call themselves, are omitted from competition as far as Oregon in concerned there is a possibility of a Rose Bowl trip (pardon us while the sports staff takes 15 seconds off to dream). -W CL A, California, and Washington are plenty tough, hut Wash ington will meet a determined Webfoot eleven, on November 3 in Portland. Return Engagement Nov. 3 Early this week L. H. Gregory, sports editor of the Oregonian, predicted that Oregon would eat Husky in their return engage ment. In fact, the only hope Washington has of winning will be slim, because the next time Bob Reynolds will have the assistance of Jake Leicht, and the entire Webfoot scjuad will have a few games under their belt. Rynolds ran wild over the Welchmen, hut think what Leicht and Reynolds will do November 3 in Portland. A test of Washington strength will come in Berkeley Satur day when the Huskies tangle with Buck Shaw’s Golden Bears. If the Welchmen come through with a victory Oregon will be in a better position to judge the picture as far as California compe tition with UCLA and Cal is concerned. A Comparison Callanana and Company of USC have the team this season. UCLA is average with a few experienced lettermen; California, the same as Washington State; Oregon State, better than most *€3'ibes believe (Stiner will bring a dead Cougar back Saturday afternoon). Oregon—as the Los Angeles Times said, “Watch the Webfoots; Idaho, fast and tricky (forget the Washington State score), plenty tough; Washington State, overated; Wash ington, won against the Webfoots but were outplayed. You decide. Watch OSC Saturday According to the Williamson poll the Cougars should clip our Aggie cousins, but Bob Stevens will lead the Staters to an up set. Idaho is stronger than the 43-12 score against Washington State last week indicates. In the third quarter is was 12-12, but the A andals started to gamble and the Cougars took the easy way to victory. Gill Brown, sports editor of the Oregon State Barometer, stuck his head out too far last; week when he slammed Dick Strite, for including Jake Leicht in the 1945 dope book even though Jake was miles away from Hayward field. The-Southern ers don’t have Jake, and you'll really see some passing, broken field running, punting and what have you when Jake and Bob Reynolds team up. Wife: “I went to the fortune teller today. She said my second husband wTould be handsome and cl#m\” Husband: “Do you mean to tell me you were married once before and never told me?” Preacher—“For shame, my lad. What have those poor little fish done to be imprisoned upon a day of rest?” Lad—-“That’s—that’s what they get for—for chasing worms on Sunday, sir.” Today’s World THE FIRST FLIGHT in the first around-the-world air service was completed in six and one fourth days by the United States army transport command. AN NBC BROADCAST from Tokyo said that Premier Higashi Kuni and members of his Japanese cabinet had resigned. The broad cast said that Higashi-Kuni and his cabinet conferred at length before the premier called upon Emperor Hirohito and tendered the resignation. PRESIDENT TRUMAN ordered government seizure of 26 oil-pro ducing refining companies not shut down by strikes, saying that it was necessary to maintain ade quate oil reserves for the needs of our armed forces. TWENTY-SEVEN HUNDRED drivers and station employes of Pacific Greyhound lines will walk off their jobs in seven western states as a result of a breakdown in wage negotiations. THE HOUSE THURSD A Y NIGIIT passed 304-56, and sent to the senate legislation permitting tiie president to reorganize execu tive agencies.

Starting with the Oregon loco motive and finishing off with the triple O, the squad kept the stu dents jumping between skits, songs and the patter of Emcee Bob Moran. New yells, which will be tried out at the game were run through with such enthusiasm that several Kwamas and a stray dog were trampled on in the ex citement. A high point ot the assembly was the presentation of Coach Tex Oliver who introduced the mem bers of this year’s varsity team" who stood up briefly from their places in the audience. The Chi Omega trio, Norma Green, Pat Hanley and Kay Sauve harmonized on two numbers, “Manhatten Serenade” and “Day break.” Finishing off the program the Alpha Chi Omega girls, Jane Grace, Helen Nelson, Janet Beigal, Arlie Norcross, Barbara Hawley, and Marylu Diamond presented a skit “What Goes on in the Locker Room,” with an all-girl football team, complete with jokes out of Captain Billy’s Whiz Bang.
