Montana and Oregon will pace the pre-game rally today at 6:30

i no rally hoard plans to in-,
vite the Montana coach, Ted

or Bob McClure, of Oregon, to
present their respective schools

skits and other pre-game noises.

Weather Bureau
Forecasts Rain
This Weekend
Heavy overcast with occasion
al rain.
That was the kind of weather
that was supposed to be around
the campus all day Thursday. And
that was the kind that was around
most of the day.
But the Weather Bureau couldn’t
explain the hail Thursday after
noon. “We hadn’t forecast that,”
was the bureau’s explanation. As
a matter of fact, the Weather
Bureau at the Municipal Airport
didn’t even know that it had hail
ed in Eugene until the wife of one
of the officials called to find out
what she should do about the win
dows—which were stuck out in
the path of the falling hail.
Looking a day ahead, the
Weather Bureau regretted that it
might have to forecast rain and
overcast for Saturday.
But cheer up. The bureau also
said that this would end and “we
will see blue sky again.”
After that we’ll have more
rain.
Snappy Yells Needed
New yells—short, snappy
ones for halftime—are need
ed by the Oregon rally squad
yell king.
i Symons requests all poten
tial yell-writers to turn in
their contributions to the
ASUO offiee in the StiAlrnt
Union as soon as possible.
Curtain Rises Tonight
On'John Loves Mary'
They’re coming from Washington, from Portland—all for
John Loves Mary, ’ which opens a two-performance return en
gagement at the University Theater tonight.
Of course, the people that are traveling to Eugene for the
show are members of the cast,” Elmarie Wendel, the Mary of the
play, explained. You see, we’re using the original summer cast
in major roles and two persons are no longer going to school
here.”
I lie two are Willard Winter
ringer, who arrived in Eugene
last night for a pick-up rehear
sal from Wenatchee, Wash.;
and leading man Don Van Bos
kirk, who is attending school
this term at Vanport in Portland.
Two new additions to the cast
are Paul Wexler and Pat Saund
ers, who have taken over minor
roles in the comedy.
Pickup Exciting
“Rehearsals have been going re
markably well,’’ Miss Wendel, a
vivacious brunette full of vim,
vigor and vitality, commented.
“Picking up a show after a month
layoff is really quite exciting.
