Jean. The name was given to her dur ing her garde school years and has stuck ever since. Betty is from Santa Barbara, Calif., and likes it there because the sun shines, she says. Oregon is okay too, she added. She came here because she “wanted to go to school in another statef.” Asked how she felt when select ed as a finalist, she exclaimed, “Well—it's different from any thing I've ever done before.” She didn’t elaborate on this. However, some of the things she's done before include good grades in high school, travel, and sports activities. The California Scholarship Federation and the Lions Club in Santa Barbara pick ed her as one of the top 10 high school students in grades. Her father owns a sailboat and at every opportunity she takes it out for a spin. wnat anout uregon traditions : Fine, she says, we ought to keep them. •'They're very collegiate, at least.” However, she admits she would not like to be dunked.

Southern California, both one time losers in 1949 PCC football action, do battle today in the Los Angeles Coliseum. The loser will be virtually eliminated from the Rose Bowl contender list. The Coast’s game-of-the-week will start at 2 p.m. Eugene radio station KORE will broadcast the play-by-play, starting at 2:15. Oregon is listed as a one to two touchdown underdog in California, but many Northwest writers and fans have stayed behind the Lemon and Green. Oregon's 37-man traveling squad arrived in Los Angeles Friday af ternoon,and warmed up on the Coliseum turf. It was in the same stadium in which the Webfoots were defeated 35-27 by UCLA ear lier in the season. BELL MAY GO Halfback George Bell is the only Duck not ready physically, al though he may sec limited action. Aiken has two speedy backs to fill the gap, including Bill Fell and Woodley Lewis. Three Oregon backfield men— Quarterback Earle Stelle, Bob San ders at fullback, and John McKay at left half—are almost sure start ers. Offensively, Aiken’s TSmachine should be prepared. Oregon’s pass ers may start throwing the ball more than in five previous games, to keep pace with a 30-point per game average. DEFENSE BETTER On defense, the Webfoots will face a familiar T-formation, as employed by Troy Coach Jeff Cra vath. The Ducks have shown ^im proving defensive play since Bruin speedsters ran wild Sept. 30. The SC boys will be looking for a win to avenge an 8-7 Oregon vic tory last season in Portland, and they may bounce back after being dropped by California 16-10 last Saturday. ONE ESC WIN USC has a single conference win this year, beating Washington State 35-7. The Trojans whomped Navy 42-20, and tied Ohio State 13-all. Less than 40,000 fans are expec ted for the game today, because of 50-yard-line television seats avail able at home. The Webfoots will return to Eugene tonight by plane, and aie tentatively scheduled to arrive at 10 p.m. Schleicher to Talk At U.N. Workshop Charles P. Schleicher, professor of political science, will address the United Nations Workshop in Boise Tuesday, opening the work shop with the subject, “Why we Pace an International Emergency.'* Schleicher will also address stu dents of the Boise Junior College Wednesday on the topic, “Approach to International Peace.’’ The three-day conference, main ly an Idaho event, is sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Boise and Boise Junior College in ; honor of United Nations Week.
