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.

Fine, she says, we ought to keep

•'They're very collegiate, at
least.”
However, she admits she would
not like to be dunked.
BARBARA BATES
Barbara Bates was in a hurry
when interviewed. In a scant 10
minutes she was to go out and
measure beards. She said it looked
like there were some mighty good
ones, too.
“I'll bet some of them went into
hibernation a couple of days early
and got a head start, though,” she
said. “Maybe not.”
However, she stopped long
enough to say she was terribly
surprised when she found out she

TrojansFavored
Over Webfoots
In Los Anaeles
Jim Aiken's Oregon Webfoots
and the mightly Trojans from.
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.
