West Virginia Prospect
Nixes Coaching Position
Dob Roe, head football coach at
W heeling, West Virginia high, has
turned thumbs down on an offer to
serve as line coach for the Univer
sity of Oregon.
DUCK COACH JIM AIKEN said
that he had been told this indirect
ly yesterday, and that he expected
to receive a letter from Roe giv
ing the particulars of why he was
unable to accept. Roe's father is
sjck and this is believed to be one
of the major stumbling blocks.
Aiken declared that he would
immediately begin searching for
someone else, but that be was not
going to rush things, since he
Wants to be sure of obtaining the
“right man.” He has two coaches
under serious consideration now.
|>nt it may tie virtually weeks be
fore tie finally decides on one of
ilietu.
Meanwhile, the status of Bob
(Buster) McClure was still hang
ing' in thin air. McClure has been
trying to sever his ties with the
Boston Yanks, but there are con
raet complications. One thing,
however, on which McClure has
made up his mind is that he wants
to coach at Oregon and not play
pro football next fall.
THE DUCKS themselves took
somewhat of a respite yesterday.
Buoyed by the fact that Guard Ted
Meland has disclosed that he in
tends to perform again next fall,
the boys showed plenty of pepper,
but there was no contact work.
The afternoon’s activities were
limited to running through signal
drills, perfecting faking, timing
and play execution, and taking a
squint at some movies of last
fall's games.
Lesser Wins
Lone Match
For Webfoots
By Martin Meadows
Oregon State’s classy • net
men lived up to advance notices
yesterday by dumping the Ore
gon Ducks, 6-1, in a Northern
Division match on the local
courts.
THE BEAVERS captured
four of the five singles contests and
swept the doubles competition in
racking up their third league win
against a lone setback.
Only Webfoot winner was Coach
Saal Lesser, who engaged in a
grueling three-set affair with Wes
Brigham. Scores were 9-7, 8-10,
6-4.
High Findlay, OSC number one
man, had little trouble in down
ing Bob Carey, 6-3 and 6-1; Jack
Carrothers swept by Dave Van
Zandt, by a 6-2, 6-3 count; Ivan
Hatfield measured Bud Carpen
ter, 6-2 and 6-2; and Nevin Cope
pulled out another three-set tilt,
drowning Bob Mensor by scores
of 6-2, 2-6, 6-1.
Cope and Hatfield teamed up in
doubles play against Carey and
Mensor, and after a tough first set,
went on to win by a 7-5, 6-2 mar
gin.
FINDLAY AND CARROTHERS
formed the other Beaver duo, and
they also had little trouble in boun
cing Van Zandt and Carpenter to
the tune of G-2 and 6-2.
The Ducks will have another
chance to attempt to dump the
Staters when the varsity as well
as the Frosh squads invade Corval
lis Saturday.

The tremendous damage done to America's
range land by fire is a tragedy that
affects EVERYONE. Look ...
Each year range fires destroy
millions of acres of land bearing
essential grain and livestock feed!
They kill thousands of cows,
horses, sheep, and an inestima
ble amount of wildlife!
They burn homes, farms, farm
equipment — sometimes entire
communities!
And, yes, range fires even take
a toll of human lives!
Range fires bring destruction and shortages which
contribute to higher prices that no one can escape!
And the sad truth is that 9 out of 10 of these fires '
are caused by people like YOU and your neighbor. f
