Raz-Ma-Taz, forced to earn his own livelihood, came to the U. S. and became a Hearst columnist, writing under the nom de-plume of Hed Tallock). (Chapter Two) Ah-Poo-Poo had not remained idle, for (with the aid of U. S. Lend-Leased trucks) he had taken everything but the nine old wom en (who immediately signed a non agression pact with Great Britain) back to his palace in India. Ali Oop, because he understood Arabic commands, became the Mahara jah’s favorite steed. Within three months Ah-Poo Poo’s secretary and prime minister —had moved to the royal stables to make room for Ali-Oop, who was quartered in the east wing. By some strange physiological quirk, Ali-Oop fell madly in love with one of the sacred cows in the village. She paid him no heed at first, but gradually she became aware of this handsome, prancing foreigner, and (no doubt quite bored with her virtuous existence) after a somewhat lengthy court ship, allowed herself to enter wed lock. In October of 1941 she gave birth to Ali-Ben-Gay, and in so doing precipitated a national cri sis. The Moslems were convulsed and though it a huge joke, while the enraged Hindus blamed the British and clamored for national independence. In the meanwhile, ^young Ali-Ben-Gay flourished, al though within seven weeks he had succeeded in driving his mother in sane. Ali-Ben-Gay attracted much at tention (partially due to the fact (Please turn to page six) Close Games Feature l-M League Play The Bums overcame the Sigma Phi Eps in a tight game to win, 3-2, in the softball highlight Mon day.

Koch Back; Squad Game This Week The 1946 Webfoot grid squad settled down to its fifth week of spring practice yesterday as Head Coach Tex Oliver continued groom ing his men for Thursday night’s intra-squad tilt on Hayward field. Oliver has not released full de tails in regard to this week’s tilt, but it is expected that the contest will have more of the appearance of a regulation game than was the first intra-squad scrimmage. Present at yesterday’s work out but not in grid uniform was Bob Koch, I'etterman full back from the 1941 Webfoot eleven. Koch has just returned to the campus following a three-year stretch in the Na val Air Corps but will not start school till fall. He wilt be around for a few weeks, however, working out daily in an attempt to get back into shape for the fall season. Interest continues in the out standing talent available for the two ball-carrying posts—left half and fullback. The 1941 Letterman Jimmy Newquist maintains his hold on the number one left half spot with a fine display of downfield running. It is probable that he will retain that position throughout the spring session as Jake Leicht is on the track squad and not participat ing in the spring grid program. Bill Behrens, sharp-passing back up from Ventura J.C., has been playing understudy to Newquist. Behind Behrens is Norm Van Brocklin of Oak land, Cal., another excellent passer, who has also display ed some fine running form the past week. Bill Sills, 160-pounder from Port land, has also shown up well both in practice and in the first intra (Please turn to page six) Duck-Netmen Trip WSC; Beavers Here on Saturday NORTHERN DIVISION TENNIS STANDINGS Won OSC . 3 Oregon . 2 WSC .:. 0 Idaho . 0 Washington . 0 Lost Pet. 0 1.000 1 .667 2 .000 2 .000 0 .000 The Oregon Ducks, playing be fore a large crowd, smashed their way to victory over the Cougars of Washington State, five to two, Saturday afternoon. It was Ore gon’s second win in three matches this season. Jim Zeiger and tSan Anderson of the Ducks delighted the packed gallery with their sparkling play ing. Coming from behind they won five straight games to take the first set, and then proceeded to methodically run their opponents ragged in the second set. The number one men of both teams, Zeiger of Oregon and Evett of Washington State played a very fast cutting match with Zeiger finally tri umphing. Sixteen games were played in this one set before Zeiger could overcome Evett. Bob Carey, playing the No. 3 po sition for the Ducks, had to play three sets to win his match from a stubborn Cougar, Bob Kittleson.

OSC Blends T With Regular Stiner System OREGON STATE COLLEGE, Corvallis — Work on the new “blend” formation is receiving' heavy emphasis in the Oregon State spring football practices this week. The “blend” is defined by Coach Lon Stiner as a combina tion of the regular Oregon State system of T formation football and was introduced by the veteran Beaver coach this spring. The T seems to fit in very well and add deception to Stiner’s fam ous optional running-pass play. After watching the “blend” in scrimmage action, Line Coach Jim Dixon commented: “If used effec tively, this formation will give someone a headache next fall.” Stiner is following his usual spring practice policy of holding short scrimmage sessions under actual game conditions several times a week instead of empha sizing weekend regulation length games. Intra-squad contests are planned for the Orangemen later in the spring.

Webfoots Grab All But Two Firsts In Meet Running up 113 V* points to Port land university’s 9 Vi and Willam ette university's 8Vf, points, the Webfoot cindermen surprised local track fans by its impressive vic tory Saturday on Hayward Field. The Ducks swept first places in every event except the shotput and pole vault. Experts had pre dicted a close meet between the three schools, but Colonel Bill Hay ward's men completely upset the dope bucket in their impressive win. Partially redeeming themselves after their unimpressive perform ance against Oregon State in the relays two weeks ago, the Oregon harriers are now a definite threat in the conference race. The Ducks captured a total of thirteen first places while Portland and Willamette battled against each other to win one event apiece* the Bearcats’ Paul Cookingham, hefty shotputter, copped his event with a heave of 42 feet 6 ya inches, while the Pilots' Tom Steele clear ed 11 feet to take top honors in the pole vault. Oregon’s Hugh Stapleton, Jake Leicht, and Gordon Ali bright led their teammates in the impressive victory by cap turing two first places each. Never-tiring Stapleton led the milers with a time of 4:48.9. Later in the day, Stapleton came back to win the. two mile in 10.58. Practically conceded the 100 and 220 yard dashes before starting, Jake Leicht came through in ex pected fashion by copping the hun dred in 10.1 and 220 in :23.2. Speedy Jack McCracken turned the tables on teammate Carl Maxey- by taking second place in both of the races. Previously, Maxey had tak en McCracken in the other runs and time trials. Allbright was not pressed in either the high or low hurdles and won both events in the compara tively slow time of :17 for the higha and :26.8 in the lows. This Saturday the Ducks face the strong Washington Husky cinder team that trounc ed Oregon State Saturday at Seattle 71 2-3 to 59 1-3 points. Outstanding Husky trackmen #is revealed by their perform ance Saturday are Lee Schl'os ser, sprinter; Lyle Clark, rec ord squeezing high and low hurdler, and Don Wold, Wash ington’s counterpart of Ore gon’s Hugh Stapleton. Wold captured first in the mile Sat urday with the impressive time of 4:20 and came back after a short rest to garner his sec ond first of the day by running a 2:02 half mile.
