"DucA *7n,acA& .. 06<vUc& PctcnA** bunld Sports Writar Accolades to those two misting Washington State College worthies who last weekend opened broad new vistas in tiie realm of sports via a 49 hour, 10 minute stint on a teeter-totter. W ho said that there are no more frontiers. All it takes is a little imagi nation, that s all. I hink of the possibilities this one has. l'ir't of all, what institution of higher learning wouldn't be overwhelmed at having the world’s teeter-totter champions num bered among its own students? I low better, indeed, could a school demonstrate that it turns out fine, .well balanced men— or w omen, since we see no bar to the fair sex in this field of athletic (ndeavor? W hat alumnus wouldn't be tickled pink to announce to his lunch club brothers that his alma mater had just sewed up the hottest pair of teeter-totter prospects w est of the Mis.xi.ssippi, largely through his efforts? No Financial Problem Schools today arc worried about tin* 11ij^li costs of turning out teams in tlio.se sports which require platoons of hearty bruisers. Substitute teeter teams and the worries would be over. < )f course, ■m some observant critter has already remarked, the thing has if- ups and downs. Just what sort of fellow would have enough of the truly competitive spirit to really dig in and train cannot he more than guessed at. At any rate, intercollegiate teetering has not quite reached the proportions of a craze as yet. As nearly as we can tell, it has so far been confined to the Pacific Northwest. This in itself is a terrific boon, if only those in the seats of power recognize it in time. Operatives from this area can snatch valuable pros pects from under the very noses of those in other sections. But we must act fast, before those Midwest sharpies and Southern smoothies catch on. Tomorrow may be too late. ('•citing back to more mundane activities, we see where Don Kir-ch brings home his baschallers this week after their ten-day, six-game annual spring tour of Pullman, Moscow, and Seattle ballyards. The Ducks found their receptions in Pullman some thing less than warm, dropping t.vo in both places. They manag ed to sandwich in a double victory over the h^plyss Idaho Van dals. enabling them to come home tipping the won-lost scales evenlv at six and six. And the Rains Came The Heavers from up the valley are also having their troubles a- the\ follow the Wcbfoots over the same route. Not only did thev see a fine IB-game winning streak stopped by W ashington State, but they are having a time getting another one started. The Cougars jumped them again in their second meeting, and just as Kalph Coleman's ( )SC crew was ready to vent its collective spleen on the Vandals the rains came and w ashed out both games of that series. This washout could well be fatal to the Beavers if the games aren’t made up. which they apparently won’t be. The Orange (6-2) have only a percentage point margin over Washington, (7-3), with WSC (7-5) still in contention a game back and coming like a runaway freight train. The schedule is most fa vorable to the Cougars, who stay in their own back yard for to series with Washington and Idaho. The Huskies and Beavers Toth have four out of their last six away from home. Oregon would have to sweep her last four with Oregon State, a dis tinct improbability, to even get a look-in. \Ye heard where an limp finally got a snootful of Buck Bailey s antics, and <>u Buck’s home diamond, too. Buck, it seems, was missing no chances on having things go wrong in the ninth in ning of the second game of the Oregon State series. W hen he strolled out for the second time in the inning to talk to the same baserunner, Umpire Joe Sabol cried ' enuf and thumbed the colorful Bailey from the field. Division Track Meet Saturday (>11 the track front, the Oregon track team puts its division title on the line this Saturday at Pullman in the annual Northern 1 )ivi sion championships. From the looks of thy record, the crown may not get any farther than Pullman. The-Washington State cinder men look like good bets to walk oil with most of the marbles when the day's frolicking is finished. But most of the dual meet scores this season have been less than one-sided, and e\en in such a predictable sport as track- upsets are not unknow n. Oregon track fans will have their last opportunity to see the team perform as a unit when the Ducks wind up their dual meet season Tuesday against Oregon State. This is the con test which rain washed out last Saturday. After this one comes the Northern Division meet and then the Pacific Coast Confer ence meet down in sunny California. The cream of the PCC -ifrop, which should include some Webfoots, will be heie June 19 for the PCC-Big Ten annual affair. The other big event here this week comes up Saturday when ()SC baseballers come down for the first of four games. The situa tion will probably be substantially the reverse of that memorable final basketball series in March. Service Slates Job Interviews For This Week Appointments for a number of in terviews to be given on campus this week by various business firm rep resentatives are now being made by the Graduate Placement Service.

Home Rule Group Gains Researcher Herman Kehrli, director of the Bureau of Municipal Research and Service, has been appointed to a committee on home rule of the American Municipal Association. The committee's function is to further the cause of home rule for American cities. Members will pre pare a constitutional amendment to guarantee, as far as possible, strong home rule to American municipalities within any state which adopts it. Home rule was granted to Ore gon cities in 1906, but many states do not allow cities to choose their own form of government, Kehrli explained. 8 inches x 7 Inches *1 EXHAUST EXTENSION Saves the finish on your bumper ... . $1.25 PACIFIC AUTO SUPPLY 57 10th W.
