they wouldn’t touch the haystacks

But another “Haylift” began on
the Columbia river near Astoria.
The coast guard cutter Mallow took
a. load of hay to horses on Ferrell's
island about Pillar rock.
The cutter Papaw delivered gro
ceries to a middle-aged couple ma
rooned by ice floes at Kaboth
Sands in the Columbia river. A
fishing boat, the W. B. Starr, de
livered the first groceries in a
week to several communities on
the Columbia’s north shore.

Hoopster Highlights

stater with the Bremcrtan basket
ball team. Himself a “big man,”
Rog is adverse to the eccentric
Phog Allen's equally eccentric idea
of raising the board two feet. Allen,
long time University of Kansas
cage mentor, advanced his "12 foot
plan" as a device to prevent basket
ball from turning into a game of
goons.
Kog reasoned that raising the
boards would make it all the
tougher on men of average
height. The Oregon skyscraper
added Ins weight to the rising
sentiment against stalling at the
end of a game. He favors the oft
mentioned “three minute” plan,
by which the offensive team must
take its foul shots in the last
three minutes of play, and not be
permitted to take the ball out.
Hog, who has been leading up to
his big finale against the Huskies
for a quarter of a century, believes
that the Eastern style of ball de
velops better ball handlers, even
when the Easterners themselves re
sort to the fast break. He does pre
fer the “Warrenized break” how
ever, and believes that the \yeb
foots wore the fastest team on the
court during the LIU series.
[ In his days as a Duck, "Hot Dog"
j has journeyed to Madison Square
I Garden twice. He participated in a
j two point loss to Long Island, fast
| becoming an Oregon tradition, and
in a resounding victory over New
\oik University. The hardest game
Kog has ever played though, was
the final game os last season when
the Webfoots notched an IS point
win over OSC, thereby throwing
the Beavers into a tie for the ND
title.
iloy, who will have earned’
four letters with V of O after this
season, made just one statement
concerning his basketball career
after graduation—“I haven’t con
sidered professional ball.”
Probably one fourth of the Wash
ington squad, according to Wiley, is
made up of ex-Bremerton boys.!
That is one of the underlying rea-!
sons for the Husky jinx, he believes.
A brother. Lowell Riley, 24, is
presently attending the Seattle in
stitution.
Coach John Warren calls Wiley
"a sincere kid, who really likes to
work.” Warren added that Rog was
easy to coach, and is a good all
around man-whether it comes to
scholastic achievement. (Rog is a.
Physical Education major), plunk
ing in hook shots, of forming vocal
quarters in the shower room. The j
Oregon cage boss commented that
Rog was "tops," and rated him a-j
good a basketball player he has cv
ei coached that means Hog =j

cans Slim Wintermute and Laddid

A Horror Thriller Chiller
Cancer kills more mothers of school age children than any other disease
® Once, not too long ago—Mom heard her
prayers at night, dressed her in the morning
and got her off to school. . . . But Mom went
away and didn’t come back.
No home is safe from cancer. Last year cancer
killed more mothers of growing families than
any other disease. Tragic—but even more tragic
is the fact that many of these deaths need never
have happened.
Many of the mothers who now die could be
cured—IF they learned to recognize cancer’s
symptoms and seek medical advice immediately
—IF sufficient money can be found for the
cancer research needed to discover the causes
of the disease, to perfect its treatment.
The American Cancer Society, through its pro
gram of public education and medical research,
is dedicated to the conquest of cancer. Will
you help?
