S. weather bureau reports. The wind, which lasted for several of Monday's early morn ing hours, averaged a velocity of about 25 miles per hour, reaching its 50-mile climax at 5:30 a.m. * The chief damage caused the ' campus was in the form of limbs I —giant limbs, tiny limbs, twigs —that littered the lawns on the old campus after the gale had i ripped its way through the tall , evergreens.

Puzzling Points of Pigskin Play Perused by Protagonist By LIZ GILMORE In order to enjoy a football game, the first essential is to know what it is all about, and I am sure that a great many girls and even boys are still bewildered by the finer points of tlie game. For example, how many of you know that a football is called a pig's kin because it is related to a pig, or that tactics arrc what the players use to hold up their pants? For this information, I took ac curate pains to get it from no other than Mr. Tex Oliver himself. Playboy Passers To begin with, let’s take tli< players. (I’d love to). There are 11 conisting of a wholeback, two half backs, four quarterbacks, a referee an umpire, an announcer and e water boy. There are also the sub stitutes that sit on the bench to root for the team. The object of the game is to see how many players can jump on th-. man with the ball. The referee giver them 15 seconds to do this and ther he blows his whistle. The team with the most players on the ball carrier gets the ball for the next play. Touchdown Tactics The boys are all trying to make j a touchdown (so they can get theii letter). A touchdown is when s player runs between the goal posts and touches his fingers down to the ground.

The skim of the overnight milk, in the fall classic of the sports world also included six Army I gridders, two stars from Alabama, and lone representatives from Ohio State and the Navy elevens. Wedemeyer Close Second Jake Leicht barely nosed out Herman Wedemeyer of St. Mary’* for the backfield position. Statis ticians gave information for the final nod when they pointed out that Wedemeyer had a superior line and inferior opponents with which to work. Dick Strite, spcrts editor of the local Eugene Register-Guard was the real final voice in the selec | tion. He compared the UCLA I Oregon tilt and the UCLA-St. I Mary’s fray. In the former Leicht averaged 6.75 from scrimmage While in the latter game Wede meyer failed to make a one-yard average. The touchdown twins of the Army, Glenn Davis and "Doc” Blanchard, had almost unanimous approval from the judges for their two positions on the team.
