*Duc& t7*&c6A' “P&U flUtHAO* Knunlrl Iportt Writ«r A sports department receives some interesting mail. In addi tion to a steady publicity barrage from multitudes of campus athletic news directors, it is the recipient of numerous little items from other agencies. This season's mail includes a substantial pile of loot from the Remington Arms Company of Bridgeport, Conn. The literature from the rifle boys includes many interesting “Things You May Not Know.” hollowing are some of these Thing-. You May Not Know: " I he physcial conformation of a calf moose makes it almost impossible for him to eat off the ground without kneeling down." "The courting dance of the Prince Rudolph Bird of Para dise is done upside down on a branch." ‘ The nighthawk has a habit ol ‘buzzing’ his mate, as she sits on her eggs. Me does this by darting down upon her from a considerable distance and then sweeping upward with a ^oiid booming noise." Shrew Observation " I lie jumping shrew o fSouth Africa sometimes curls up androlls itself along instead of leaping kangaroo fashion." "A female mosquito can produce 159,K57,(JOO,(XX) offspring ! in a single year." Chalk up another triumph for Oregon State! The progressive Beaver intramural program includes the noble sport of modern « dancing. The Oregon State Daily Barometer reports that the i first-place trophy was captured last year by the mighty team , from Sackett C. Russian radio listeners have learned some interesting facts I about American athletics. A Moscow broadcast told them, ! "Sport in the capitalist countries, like the whole culture of 1 bourgeoisie, is degenerating.” "In the United States and other capitalist countries," the | broadcast continued, “all sorts of sport distortions are being developed. One of these is lying down in a coffin as long as « one can stand with breathing, which often ends with the par 1 ticipant’s death." !This, indeed, must be an activity of the highest skill! How many people can "stand” without breathing and lie down in a coffin at the same time? Maybe the coffin is tilted. Morgue-tifying Defeat However, the spurt has potentialities. Consider this Hearse newspaper account of a championship match in Madison Square Mortuary: “After seven athletes died in the preliminary matches, the main battle, featuring Challenger Jones against the defending champion, “Iron Lungs” Smith, was a fight to the death. ' “Smith, weighing in at 205 pounds, had a definite advantage ii^ this “survival of the fattest" contests because he had more space in which to store air. “After it appeared that Jones had won, breaking the world’s record by 12 days and 16 hours, the coroners came out of their | corners and peeked under the coffin lid. Jones was still there. * However, he was no longer alive. Smith retired to the coroner and stated, “Jones made a fatal | mistake, lie wasn’t wearing Amalgamated Manufacturing Cor I puration tennis shoes.” * Dark-Arthur Court lieturning to matters of a similar level of sanity, the Moscow broadcast also joined the rising chorus which has attacked ‘ American basketball during recent months. The comrade of the airwaves remarked: | “The American sports businessmen have arranged basket > ball games in the dark, where the players can use all forbidden methods without punishment.” . How about that, fans? This would really be something to see, wouldn't it? * Maybe this is know as percentage basketball—the team which sends the greatest percentage of opponents to the show "■ ers—oops—hospital, wins the greatest percentage of victories. Of course, they would have to occasionally turn on the lights, . so that the score-keeper could read the scoreboards and find out what the score was. Obviously, comrades, this is part of the American imperialist ■■bourgeoisie plot to enslave the world: By keeping spectators and players in the dark, we are training them to remain in the . dark on great political issues. Then we can start World War III! The theme of this sport is: “Let’s throw a little night on the subject!” ► I/O Swimmers Lose to Washington; Huskies' Elliott Sets New ND Record By Ron Ricketts The University of Washington Huskies seem destined to repeat as 1 Northern division swimming champs after their convincing 51'4 -.'52'4 win over Oregon's Ducks at tin men’s pool Friday. T he Ducks, rated by some as a title contender, were never really a threat to the Huskies as they lost both relay events and some coun ted-on points In other events. One of the best races of the day I was between freshman Dick El- ! Mott of Washington and Oregon’s Gordon Edwards In the 220-yard j freestyle. Both started strong, and 1 at the halfway point were well ahead of the other two swimmers, Elliott holding a slight lead over Edwards, Each swimmer really poured It on In the last few Ups, i but Elliott slowly lengthened his j lead to win in the record-breaking > time of 2:12.0. This mark erased' the old Northern Division standard of 2:12.5 set by Pete Powllson of! Washington in 1048. In the 60-yard freestyle Oregon's Milton Kotoahirodo got a good start and gained a lead which he never relinquished, althpugh the Huskies' Eric Jubb was dogging him all the way and finished only four feet back. In the 200-yard breaststroke Allan Wakinekona of Oregon, ten yards behind most of the race, staged a stretch drive which brought him to within one foot of Washington's tiring Dick U0 Skiers Third (Continued from page four) of 1:39.4, and Magnus Bucher, Denver, was third in 1:40. Crawford scored 222.3 points in winning the jumping event with leaps of 150 and 151 feet. Jay Bar ms of Utah was second with j jumps of 145 and 147 feet, and Tom Hoffman, Denver, was third with 140 and 142.

This was probably the most exciting event of the afternoon. V osh Terada, a double winner for the Ducks, set a new pool rec ord In the 200-yard backstroke as he overtook Bob Hamblin of Wash ington to win in 2:21.2. This mark was a tenth of a second better than the old record set by Terada last year. Elliott, the big gun for the Hus kies with 11% points, also won the 100-yard freestyle and swam a leg on the winning freestyle relay team. The diving event, always a big attraction, gained further Interest because of the competition be-1 tween the two best divers in the conference. Pete Chariton of Ore gon and All-American Merrill Hodges of Washington gave the fans a show of near-perfect form as they executed eight dives each. Charlton flubbed his first dive, however, and could never gain on the more experienced Hodges. Summary: ftOO-yard medley relay: Wash ington (Bob Hamblin, Dick Mag-j nuson, John Goode).
