Houses to Adopt $300 l-M Insurance Proqram Oregon's Interfraternity council adopted at a meeting last night an intramural insurance plan to take care of any injuries suffered by in tramural athletes in I-M sports. The proposal states that each or ganization participating in the plan is to contribute three dollars each term until a total of $300 has been collected. In case of an injury to any intra mural athlete whose organization has subscribed to the plan, any med ical expenses for the injury which exceed University infirmary service will be taken from the $300 fund. If, at any time, the fund is de pleted, the plan provides for addi tional assessment from each house until the $300 fund is again amas sed. IFC secretary A1 Hale said that adoption of the plan was promoted by the many injuries suffered dur ing this Fall’s touch football sea son. Most notable was the broken jaw suffered by Campbell Club’s Mel Krause. The plan is being sent to the var ious independent orgar' zations for their approval and adoption. Hale stated that it is hoped the other or ganizations will come in with the IFC on the plan to help cut down the danger of any player having to leave school because of expensive injuries.

U ol O Men and Date admitted on one ticket Eugene Ice Arena 1850 W 6th Phone 4957 WSC Leads All the Way In Second Duck ND Loss PULLMAN, Wash., Jan. 8 (AP)—Washington State Col lege fought off a stubborn second-half drive by the University of^ Oregon basketball team last night to defeat the A ebfoots, 46-43. It was the first of a two-game series in Northern Division, Pacific Coast Conference play for the teams. W ashington State was ahead 29-21 at halftime. Guard John Neeley sparked Oregon in the second half rally that saw a 14-point Cougar lead whittled away to one point with. eight minutes to play. Neeley push ed in three field goals during that time. Gayda Fouls Out The Oregon cause was aided when Ed Gayda. Washington State’s ace forward, retired to the bench after three minutes of the second half with five personal fouls charged against him. After the Webfoots struggled within one point of the Cougars their magic faded away. Guard Bob Elliot broke the scoreless spell for Washington State with a booming long shot, and the two-point gap at the game’s end was close as the Ducks came again. Cougars Hold Ball Washington State elected to hold the ball with 3 y2 minutes still to play and only a two-point lead. The maneuver was successful with each team connecting for two points. Roger Wiley, tall Oregon center, closed the scoring for his team with a two-point tip-in. Guards George Hamilton and Elliot had given State a safety margin with a pair of free throws seconds before. It was a rough game interrupted frequently for free throw attempts. In addition to Gayda, Washington State lost center Ron Button by the foul route and Oregon’s Bob Lavey retired late in the game for the same reason. Wiley Cold Wiley, who hit for 18 points in the last game against Idaho early in the week, could find the basket for only six points.

Peak-period use of porver must be curtailed to avoid the hazards of failures in distribution lines and trans formers in- Eugene and vicinity. The Northwest Power Pool, in which the Eugene utility is partici pating, is also appealing for saving of electricity dur ing this critical period—f :30 to 7:00 p. m. The cold-weather season has made the overload problem particularly acute. Your cooperation in pre venting outages is solicited. Here are some of the things you can do: Turn off electric heaters, unless you abso lutely require them. Avoid use of electric clothes driers. Snap off all lights you are not using. Avoid ironing or baking, or use of heavy power appliances during this period. Remember, the entire Pacific Northwest is taking part in this power-saving measure during the critical hours.
