Order of 0 Meet There will be an Order of the O meeting today at noon at the Phi Gamma Delta house. President Roger Wiley has requested that all members be present. for expert ALTERATIONS REPAIRS INSTANT PRESSING/ rJ Aiken Readies Squad For OSC Aggie Battle With the Oregon “O” painted an Aggie Orange, the 1948 "civil war” has been declared, as the Oregon football giant, headed for its best season since 1933, prepares to meet Lon Stiner’s Oregon State Beavers on the Bell battlefield in Corvallis this Saturday at 2 p. m. Duck Coach Jim Aiken sent his boys through a short and muddy practice session yesterday after noon, and this week's workouts are expected to remain on the light side. The league-leading Webfoots will be riding the crest of a six-game win streak into Saturday’s game, after their 11th straight conference vic tory. If the Ducks whip OSC, it will be their first unbeaten and un tied conference season since 1895. Both Teams Set With no injuries suffered against UCLA, Trainer Tom Hughes ex pects to have the Webfoots in good physical condition for the Aggie contest. The Beavers came through their game with Utah in good shape, and will also be at full strength. Rival coaches will concentrate on grooming their offensive and de fensive machines this week. Ali through the skirmish could be high scoring, a wet field may bog down both teams. Ducks Favored By comparative scores and sea son’s records, the Ducks will take the favorite roll. Stiner’s Orange men are resigned to underdog stat us, ready to pull a major upset and eliminate Oregon from the Rose Bowl picture. Both Oregon and California must win their games this Saturday to tie for the PCC title. The Rose Bowl team will then be decided by a faculty representative vote. Cal plays Stanford in another tradition al battle at Berkeley. Duck Quarterback Norm Van Brocklin, the powerful unit of run ning backs, and a sturdy Webfoot forward line is expected to hand Oregon a slight edge.
