Rumors of many kinds are fly ing around and deals are being cooked up by hopeful Texas bound Ducks. Marial Means is more than just casually interested in the possi bility of flying down and we are checking on the availability of a couple of cargo planes. The pilots aren’t as hard to get as the planes, however. One thing that we have heard is that moguls from Southern Pa cific are mulling over a deal with the University. Best news we heard (strictly in the rumor stage) is that there might be a deal whereby the University paid part of the fare and a big Duck train made up for the occasion. We can see it now. A 20-car train zipping along the rails and right in the middle—a tank car. A tank car full of beer! Hoses attached to the refreshment car and leading to all the other cars of the train. What a ride that would be! Portland alumni were more than eager to head to Texas. Already the $250 plane trip to Dallas and back is signed up for. Just like that. Looks like everyone will be there* the way things are shaping up.
