‘Duc607,mic6& ■ &¥ (M* Somebody once said that it takes more than point-scoring to make a Rood athlete. Such is tin- case Oregon has on hand this week. I wo athletes of top quality have turned out, according to tile l Diversity discipline committee, to be not such good citi zens. flood citizens, that is, i„ the sense of what is expected of ordinary people in our w ay of life. The above-mentioned committee has seen fit to suspend these two athletes from the University for a year. Now you’re -saying to yourself. "They’re lucky they didn’t kick ’em out per manently, after what I hear they did!” Stop and back up a minute, bub. Some one asks you if you know what these two guys did to get in such hot water. You re ply that you heard ... etc., etc. That’s what you heard. You don’t know it—or it's pretty likely yon don’t. There’s a difference be tween ruimtr and fact. Remember that, when you hear things about the two suspended < >regon students. That’s what they are, 'jjiu know -Oregon students, just like the rest of us. I he committee lias declined to give the reason for the suspen sion. If one-third of what "you’ve heard" is half-true, it’s prob ably well they didn’t release the reasons. The committee said merely "suspension.” Leave it at that. Listen to the Beaver Noises Kugene will undoubtedly he deluded with cat-calls, hysteric screams, jeers and evc'ry other country type noise from our sis ter-institution to the north. The Aggies will go wild over this. Wait and see. It may even get so bad that we'll have to dig up a couple of quotations from Heaver students as to why Slats (’.ill suspended (permanently) two OSC basketball players from his team last winter. The quotations naturally would be unofficial—just as unoffi cial as anything that come from an Aggy typewriter on the situation here this week. Old athletes never die—tTiey just fade away. The Lion s Mouth Don Kirsch s baseball ^fjua«l is sticking its head.in the lion’s month this week w hen the diamond Ducks head into the Inland Empire for games with Washington State and Idaho. The Webfoots did a pretty good job of knocking the teeth out of that Lion's mouth when the lion (Cougar-Vandal) came to Eugene earlier in the season. But then along came that pesky dog from the north—the Husky of Seattle. Who knows what will happen now? The Ducks may go back to the top again. Couple of Bob Peterson's fraternity brothers asked us late last term to explain to readers about Bob's Ietterman sweater. The manufacturer didn’t make a mistake, they said. Bob ordered the sweater that long. “I le wanted an overcoat with a letter on it ” Just for a Lark Back to the subject of baseball for a minute. A few fans who have followed the Eugene Larks say it’s too bad the local pro fessional dub can't meet the Webfoot nine. Might be a good game at that, but of course you can’t mix amateurs with profes sionals. Somebody might get tainted. Happened to see the movies of’the 1949 Oregon-St. Mary’s football game yesterday. Oregon won, which made it enjoyable. Ah, for a team like that one again. Sure would be nice. Next fall will tell what Jim Aiken can come up with after a bad sea son like the last one. The ’49 season itself wasn't so hot, but at least the team was well-stocked. Wonder how long it would take loyal graduate groups to start breathing down Jim’s neck if he doesn't come up with something in, say, three or four years in a row. Basketball Coach John War ren stood the blast well—and it was a loud blast for aw bile too, at least on the surface. After last season things are quiet on the )\ arren front for now. Oregon State’s Lon Stiner left very suddenly after a few un der-par seasons. But no loud noises were heard—at least not this far away. There was not even a hint that anything was wrong with Stiner's relations. And then suddenly he was gone and Kip Taylor came in. And Taylor undoubtedly has the graduate groups happy. He's turned up no miracles, but has done well. If any group get’s on Aiken's talc, they’ll have to try hard to forget that red-hot Oregon team of 1948. That was a good One, and Aiken deserves remembrance for it.
