*Duc& 07iac6& I ■■■.. ■ ||» Sy %ZiU {fWlHOf EmantM Sparta Editor I t'lini-, anyone? Should he a good match here Wednesday " hen the I Diversity of Oregon netmen meet Oregon State college in a return engagement in XI) dual meet competition. Coach Moh Laurence’s Ducks met the Heavers Saturday at Corvallis and edged them out in a close contest. Laurence, who is a captain in the Air Force ROTC unit on the campus, hopes to see a good crowd out for the match, al- • though there are no permanent seating accommodations at the. courts. He is under the impression that new bleachers for the courts have been ordered, but they have not been set up as yet. Quillian and Flye \\ hat does Oregon have in tennis this year? Well, Laurence luinks he has an Outstanding team, perhaps one which will win thi' Northern Division title. I hat won’t he decided, however, until the Northern Division meet at Pullman on May 16-17. Main threats to Duck hopes: J he \\ ashington Huskies, paced by a pair of young men named Ouillian and Mye. These two, whose names sound as if they should be fishermen or musical comedy writers, are the 1951 National Junior mens’ doubles titlists. On the Duck team are several boys who also know what to do with a racket, although sadly enough, the one who is prob ably most talented just isn t eligible, and won’t be. 'Jin', is Paul Willey, a slim Vancouver, 11. C. native, who is ranked fifth in Canada, and went to Modesto JC in California the past two years. In 1951, he was a junior college.fijialist in both singles and doubles, ranked fifth iu the.Northwest, second in l’ritish Columbia, and helped w in the Canadian' dofiMes crown. Oat or Debbil GPA All this is fine, but lie can't play this season. This is essen tially because lie does not have a 2.00 cumulative GPA, but it is more involved than that. In the first place, he did not gradu nte from high school, so thus hid to enter Oregon as a special strident. And special students are not eligible for varsity athletics. Had his grades been high enough, he could have transferred to regular status, but they were not. All he can do is study hard and wait for next year. With Willey out, Tom MacDonald is in the number one position which he has occupied for the past two years. The tall senior is not playing up to par, according to Laurence, although he looked potent against Multnomah and Irvington club’s Emory Neale. MacDonald has a very good forehand, volley, and service, hut Laurence is giving him work on his backhand. ' Currently ranked two and three respectively are Bill Rose and Jack Neer, both freshmen from Portland. These two are both possesors of fine all-round games. Rose is especially sharp on angle shots on a volley (whatever they are), while Neer s service is getting some polishing from his coach. Neil George is ranked in fourth spot currently, and he has a strong, forceful game with an exceptional serve. George, a junior and letterman, is from Rosemead, Calif. Battle For Fifth Spot At the present, junior letterman Don Neraas is in the fifth and final singles spot, hut is receiving stiff competition from Ron Lowell, a sophomore. Laurence is high on Lowell, says he is improving consider ably. Lowell is no dbuht the most intellectual athlete at Ore gon, with just a shade under a straight A average in pre-med. The third freshman on the squad is Bruce Dingier, who like Lowell is from Klamath Falls. Dingier has potentialities, ac cording to Laurence, and should develop. The rankings are flexible, as Laurence uses a modified ladder system of determining positions. A man may challenge another who is two steps above him, or one below him. Chanjpionships—We Hope Almost every Oregon athletic outfit, including the tennis team, had a good day Saturday. The baseball squad took a double header from Portland, the track team downed Idaho, the golf team topped OSC, and the football squad looked sharp in intrasquad scrimmage. The only villains were the junior varsity baseballists, who lost to OSC, 14-2. In fact, Duck teams should win at least one conference title. Tracks looks like perhaps the best bet, and if the baseball team fan get consistent pitching to match the hitting, they may be champions too, ; ■ ; v"; > Lack of Interest In Science Seen By Panel Here By Al Karr A panel of scientists and science educators and their audience at the Saturday afternoon science conference coffee hour agreed that not enough students go into sci ence in college, not enough sci entists are produced and high school teaching and maybe col lege teaching needs to be made more fruitful. They disagreed however, on ! whether to make more science compulsory in high school and on the question of concentrating on the select students or on all stu dents. Panel Members The panel consisted of Alan Wa terman, director of the national science foundation; Donald Stotler, supervisor of science for the Port land public school system; Clar I once Diebel, science teacher at Eugene high school; G. W. Beadle, chairman of the division of biology, California Institute of Technology; G. Boss Robertson, professor of chemistry, UCLA; and P. J. Van Rysselberghe, professor of chemis try. E. G. Ebbighausen, associate professor of physics, was moder ator. Dr. Knowlton I Reed) from the audience brought out the point that teachers must make their science teaching interesting to the indi vidual student. Encourage Curiosity It was the consensus that ways must be found to encourage the curiosity necessary before a stu dent will desire to go on with sci ence in high school and college. But some, including Van Rysselberghe, felt compulsory science is neces sary to expose students to the op portunities, while others, chiefly Stotler, believed curiosity is killed by compulsion, and wanted stu dents to continue in science only through a genuine interest. On the matter of concentration, i Robertson asserted that criticism I of high school teachers which had i been brought up in the discussion | was unjustified; that no teacher J can produce good results with a ; mass of students. He said the in tellectually alert students should be concentrated upon. Stotler, however, said he believed better results are obtained through a system which allows all the op j portunity to learn and improvei that Charles Darwin, Albert Ein stein and Thomas Edison would come to the force under the mod em system, rather than being fail ures as judged by the education system of their day. Campus Interviews on Cigarette Tests No. 40... THE WHALE V ^ \ cow® • JLoor guy was submerged in a veritable sea of cigarette tests! He didn’t know whether he should ‘"blow”—or just jettison the whole job! But he fathomed the matter when he suddenly realized that cigarette mildness can’t be judged in one quick spout! Millions of smokers have found, too, there’s a thorough tfigarette test! It’s the sensible test... the 30-Day Camel Mildness Test, which simply asks you to trv Camels as your steady smoke — on a day-after-day, pack-after-pack basis. No snap judgments!
