off in <|iiest of a new miracle
toda\ when he pitched them to
a big upset 5 to 1 victory over
the New York Yankees be
fore 65,673 fans at Yankee
Stadium in the first game of
the 1951 World Series.
Koslo, who has been a Giant
since 1M1, longer than any player
on the roster, combined a alow
breaking curve and bomb-sight
control for a seven-hit victory. It
was the first time Mince 1036 over
a stretch of nine world serien en
gagements that the redoubtable
^unkees had lost their opening
tame.
b Odds I'pset
^^t'psetting the odds in the same
*rnanner they drove the experts
.crazy down the stretch run Ir their
TTThtustic National League tmish,
the janty Giants mauled no-hit
hero Allle Reynolds as if he had
been a third rate pitcher for a
second division outfit in their own
league.
Alvin Dark, the slick shortstop
from the Louisiana Bayou Country,
who hit a three-run homer and
Monte Irvin, the Jersey jolter,
who paced the Giants at bat all
season, emerged as the hitting he
roes in this latest conquest.
On lee In First
For all practical purposes, the
game was wrapped up in a neat
package for the Giants in the first
inning. And as has been so typical
Of their rallies in the successive
last-chance hurdles they have
cleared lately, they .put over the
two runs necessary for victory
two men out.
j^^’hat's more, Irvin stole home
with, the tally that could have been
the margin of triumph. That was
heaping embarrassment on the j
mighty Yankees in a hurry.
With two out, Hank Thompson,
subbing in right field for the in
jured Don Mueller, walked. Irvin
singled to third with a shot to
right field. Whitey Loekman sliced
a ground-rule double into the left
field stands to score Thompson and
send Irvin to third.
Ir\ln Steals Homi
Then with one ball delivered to
Bobby Thomson, yesterday's home
run hero, Irvin took advantage of
an elaborate windup by Reynolds ■
and streaked for the plate. He slid i
under the amazed Yogi Berra and
was so clearly safe nobody bother

Society Is Spendthrifty Because...
Lower Classes Copy Leisure Class
In Buying Luxuries Is Veblum Theory
By Eugene Penasa
If you buy a cigarette case for
$1,800 or a lighter for $300, you
are one of the leisure class which
sets the standards for the common
purchases.
Thus John James, assistant pro
fessor of sociology, interpreted the
social theories of Thorstein Veb
lum at the year’s first Browsing
Room lecture Wednesday evening.
Reaches Conslusions
Veblum, liberal American so
ciologist and author-teacher, con
cluded that the leisure class bought
luxuries and unnecessary items in
order to impress the lower classes
with their wealth, James said. The
lower classes then in turn try to
emulate this leisure class by buy
ing luxury items also. This, accord
ing to James, resulted in ?, society
that is over luxurious ant) spend
thrifty; hence, all of the unneces
sary trappings and trimmings that
go with our society.
Veblum upheld his theory in
practice , James explained. His
dress was often simple, sometimes
including such garb as a coonskin
trap' with courdouroy trousers. He
lived frugally and without unnec
essary luxuries. His writings were
i prolific, James stated, and had a
| real effect upon the social theo
ries of the past and present.
Veblum further concluded that
the indiscriminate use of machines
leads to the degradation of labor
and a “specialized economy” which,
though social in nature, is not for
society's overall good.
In his theory of busines senter
prise he contended that there

"This year it is extremely diffi
cult to be sure that the phone num
bers listed by the students at regis
tration time are correct. Many
marked down last year’s numbers.
My staff can not possibly check

would bo a centralization of busi
nes sover a period of time.
Veblum, according to James,
predicted many social trends and
occurences such as the late totali
tarian government of Germany,
Japanese aggression in Manchuria,
and our stock market crash.

over by W. S. Laughlin, assistant
professor of anthropology, follow

"It was defeated at OSC," Barry
said. "Students felt it was too radi
cal.”
"I don't think that has any basi-*
in reality,” Sandegren answered.
”1 didn't find any radical ele
ments.”
And so it went.
Motion Not to Join
Supporters argued the only way
to find out more about NSA would
j be to join for a year. But the first
j motion was “not to join”, the mo
tion made by Brittain. It was de
feated by a 9-7 count.
The international character of
NSA was also under the gun. Frye
i said Oregon didn’t have a strong
; enough student government yet to
participate. When we had that, he
said, we could go in. He also point
ed out students have little interest,
in world affairs.
Carey didn’t agi se with the
"weak government” claim, but for
