‘Duck --- Emerald Sports Editor There's been considerable comment since the Inland Empire trip by the Ducks last week about the conduct of crowds in the Idaho and Washington State basketball pavilions. Most of the comment concluded that it was not good conduct. Idaho has for years been called the "place of toughest crowds” in the Northern Division. Maybe it's because the Vandals sel dom have a winning team—maybe it's because of the small Idaho studentbody—or maybe it's for other reasons. Probably the only team that ever comes in for real riding in McArthur court is that of Oregon State college. And then"the crowds seldom get as vicious as those in the Palouse hills ap parently do. Webfoot audiences have not vet reached the low point of throwing eggs or shining flashlights in the eves of the opponents. This week, WSC plays two games in the Igloo. It’s up to Oregon students to remember that it was the Cougar specta tors, and NOT the players who made with the undesirable conduct. Cougar teams that we have observed in the past four years have always been made up of good sports and gentlemen. So don t ride the Cougars—they’re doing the best they can, as the saying goes. This brings us to the point we should have come to three paragraphs ago. Below is a letter from Oregon's Athletic Direc tor Leo Harris. He makes a sincere and very timely request of Webfoot fans: A Letter From Leo Harris I just returned from the Inland Empire Trip in basketball. At the University of Idaho, the conduct of the students and spectators was so violent toward the officials that the President of the University made a statement apologizing for this conduct and also asking for a better attitude in the future. The Dean of the School of Health and Physical Edu cation at Washington State college made a similar apol ogy after our second game with Washington State college at Pullman. There remains on our schedule five Conference games at McArthur Court. The students here have always cooperated Avith the athletic administration to the end result that the behavior of students toward officials and visiting players has on the whole been quite satis factory. As Director of Athletics, I should certainly be ashamed if the conduct of our students and spectators reached the le\rel of making an apology necessary. I am therefore asking that our students bear this in mind during the remainder of the basketball season and do eArerything in their pOAA-er to see that our guests and officials are treated with the courtesy and respect they so richly deserve. Sincerely, Leo A. Harris Director of Athletics So, remember that the game is,Avon on the maple floor—not in the stands. It may make you feel better to Arocallv express your thoughts of the game, but keep in mind that it never helps anyone else—and it can do much harm to Oregon. ♦ ♦ ♦ Talked to Blue and Gold Center Don Barksdale for a minute or so before the game here Saturday. The tall All-American ex pressed a high regard for the Webfoot team. “They’re good,” he said, “they’re very good.” And he also had plenty to say for Webfoots Bob Peterson and Jim Loscutoff. He intimated that Loscutoff is one of the best -College centers he’s seen in some time, but he quickly added Avith a diagonal sweep of his huge right hand the “he seems to be a little inconsistent.” He didn't explainwhat he meant. The big boy had plenty of praise for the speed and backboard . ability .of .tire-P^egop tall men. Asked to-compare the Webfoot team with the OSCBeavers of 1947 (PCC champs; beat Barks dale’s UCLA in coast finals in Con'allis), Barks said he couldn’t do this because he was playing with a college team then, and his present-teammates, make a considerable difference. “But these-boys are good,” he repeated, “They’re a very good team.” Sigma Chi ( Contimredjrjmfapeiamr) Shot put—Darrell Davis of Sig ma Chi won with a heave of 41 feet, while Jerry Monroe took se ond for the Sigs and Phi Psi Paul Thalhofer took third. Broad Jump—Tom Edwards of Sigma Chi took this event with a jump of 19 feet, 6 inches; Phi Psi Ted Cooley took second and Sig Harrison Fagg rated third. High Jump—Sigma Chi Jim Cal derwood jumped to first place with the bar at 5 feet, 6 inches. Les Cut ting and Gene Hover of Phi Psi were second and third. r Sigma Chi’s relay team of Smith, Hodge and Edwards won the final event. ATO Beats (Continued from page four) ATO put 10 points through the hoop while the Sammies managed 2—from there the Tau’s coasted to an easy win. SAM sank only four free throws and no field goals in the second half. High men were ATO’s Bredenfeld and Kirby, with 11 and 8 points respectively. Sigma Nu romped over the Betas with shooting accuracy. The Betas grabbed only two field goals. The Sigma Nu squad was not overly hot, but the nearly complete abs eense of Beta scoring from the field made the victory one for 11th street. Dick Ward and Bob Muirhead spearheaded the Minturn hall at tack. Ward took 16 points and high honors, and Muirhead grabbed 10. The winners led at half-time, 24-15. You Intrigue Me— You're Different Darling; It's Those Three Noses! Tiy Donna Hart In the spring a young man's (or woman's) fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love. And the same is apparently true of Valentine’s Day. Already the stores are displaying big, red hearts trimmed with lacy frills and the old, familiar “Roses are red, Cabbage is green, My face may be funny, But yours is a scream!’’—or however the verse goes. Every year the people who con trive these bits of sweet nothing come up with something newer and more unusual than the pre vious year. Among the cards to be found in local stores expressing a deep pas sion are these few choice verses: “Don’t want a yacht, don’t want a castle, all I want is you to wras sle.” That would of course appeal to the caveman type. This next one would be very fit ting for some girl to send 'to a fraternity man: “Am I the only Sweetie Pie that dangles on your | Pianist,BassDuo j To Give Recital Geneva Ide, pianist, and Lynn Sjolund, bass, will perform on the weekly KOAC radio program, “Campus Recital,” from 8:15 to 8:45 p.m. tonight.

Oregon has 18 cities which have port commissioners. rm hook, or just another number in your little black book?” And then there’s: ‘ They say that love is dynamite, and dangerous to use. They’re right! And just the sight of you sure seems to light the fuse.” One which shows the extremes of true love reads: “Ostriches is foolish boids, to do the things they do, but if you wuz an ostrich-boid, I’d like to be one, too!” The modest person might prefer this one: "If you wuz a cuckoo, how nice it would be, cuz then you might go for a bird-brain like me!” A valentine greeting to a heart breaker (or an egotist) is this: “Those movie lovers ain’t so hot; you put ’em on a shelf— at pitch ing woo you're super-doo. . .accord ing to yourself!!” Another one in the same catagory is “Oh Valen tine, won’t you give me a break? Answer this prayer—go jump in the lake!!” The nicest Valentine for any one is very short and to the point, though: “From one of them birds of damn few words. . .You’re my Valentine.” i Theater Schedules French Picture Sidney W.
