And what is more, the vulgar capitalists in the United States lave corrupted the game, and are now using it for their own mperialistic aims. -—- _ 'Tis just a snare and a delusion of the U.

And, according to the Russians, the United States does not ven let people relax at the ball games. There the “exploited laves of the rich American warmongers are forced to murder umpires), steal (bases), die (on second) and get robbed (of iase hits).” The parenthc <■ were added by Davenport, so the average Russian radio listener no doubt swallows all this with a shiver >f horror and relief that he lives in dear old Russia.

It will be hard to walk out of this meet, or sc the veto power, which is one consolation for us. Don’t count on it, but several of Coach Bill Bowerman's rack men are given better than average chances to be in on he fun. Bespectacled Chuck Missfeldt, who won the NCAA nvelin crown last season, is perhaps the leading contender for he U. S. team. In the running for the Canadian Olymoic squad Ire Vancouver Native Jack Hutchins and British Columbian ■red Turner. Hutchins took fifth in the NCAA 880 yard run ast year for Powerman, and Turner was third in the Pacific loast Conference two mile run. Other Ducks may flash improvement during the season and (•come darkhfw-e prospects; among them is dash man Bill •ell. Returning to Missfeldt, the husky senior will enter the Will mette relays at Salem Saturday. Last season he turned in his cst performance of the season there, with a throw of over 225 oct. His NCAA winning toss was “only” 219 feet plus. But ilentor Bowernnn has scant hope that his prize protege will ise to such O '.Ots Saturday. Missfeldt hasn’t been able to fork into top form as yet.

Being extremely cautious, he hid his money in his shoes so he could always keep it with him. Bv the time he was 48, he was nine feet tall. Money can be used to grow on, but not neces sarily bv Mr. Feeny’s method. For instance, more than 1,100,000 people have shown their faith in the future of the Bell Telephone System bv investing their money in it. About one-fifth of them are Bell employees who bought stock through a payroll savings plan. It takes both money and people to keep the Bell System growing and improving to meet our country's telephone needs.
