Returned veterans cn the campus remember the above posed shot of George “Porky” Andrews, still potting in the two point tallies with the Victoria Dominoes in Canada. According to visiting sports scribe, Luke Moyls, of UBC, Porky is more then holding to the lemon and green blazing pace he set at the University of Oregon. Four of Five Squads Open This Weekend’s Lid Busters The 1946 northern division basketball campaign begins in earnest this week-end when four of the five clubs in the con igtence open their season against arch rivals. Oregon State plays host to the Idaho Vandals and the Washington Huskies en counter the Cougars from Washington State in Seattle. Last year’s titleholders, the Webfoots, draw a bye Friday and Saturday evening. Competition is expected to be keen, dope experts however seem to rate the Cougars as pre-season favorites, and followers of each squad are hoping to see their favorite come through with the league crown. Returning lettermen; veterans, and freshmen have bol stered each and every squads hope and only time will tell as to the outcome of the conference race. Gail Bishop Missing Jack Friel’s Cougars are ex pected to open their season without the services of Gail Bishop, sensa tional Casaba ace last season for the Fort Lewis quintet and two year letterman at Washington State before entering the service. However, Vince Hanson, towering 6*8’/ center and national collegiate scorer last season will start at the pivot slot for the Cougars and unless the Huskies can develop a formable defense Hanson and com pany may well be on the way to ward a pair of victories in the first week of play. Assisting Hanson will be Tiny Arndt, 6’5” freshman forward, and a host of returning lettermen plus a scattering of newcomers to the Cougar quint. Hec Edmundson will employ the fast break, a standby for the Huskies, in an attempt to race the Cougars and thus capi talize on the expert shooting average of his club thus far this season. Many Regular Huskies The Huskies, strengthened by the return of Norman Dalthrop, a veteran of the 1941 season, have a host of regulars and newcomers to -bolster the lineup. Members of the Husky crew who will probably start include forwards: Charles Sheaffer and George Henson; CSftter, Rodney Gibbs; guards, Bob Gill and Norm Dalthrop. Others are: Jack Pomfret, Bob Jorgensen, Les Eatmore, and Pete Williams. In the other opener at Corvallis, the Beavers will face the strongest Idaho team in years. Babe Brown, head mentor at Moscow, has the services of nine returning letter men in addition to two newcomers to send on the court against Slats Gill’s crew. Leading the Vandal at tack are Jack Phoenix, 6’9” fresh man center, and Fred “WhirApy” Quinn, high scoring forward from the 1943 team. Other probable starters for the Vandals are Grant Mortensen, Len Pyne, and Bob Ryan. The Orangemen added six new members to the squad during regis tration this week, four of them being returning lettermen. Return ing Staters include Glen Warren, Erland Anderson, Larry West, and Dick Strait, Red Rocha and Ted Henningsen, towering lettermen are expected to use their superior height in an attempt to start the Beavers on the way toward the title.

Connections with other telephones will be made through the nearest of several receiving and transmitting stations operated by the telephone company. It is gener ally similar to the existing ship-shore radio telephone service for vessels in coastal and inland waters. The main job right now is making more telephones available for those who have been waiting for regular service. But as soon as the new equipment can he built the Bell System will begin extending telephone service to vehicles.
