MEET BILL ROSE Freshman Tennis Player Outstanding In Prep Competition, Does Well Here By Bill Norval One individual who ought to have a lot to say about the tennis situation at the University of Ore gon for the next three years, bar ring unforeseen circumstances, is freshman Bill Rose. Bill got his first taste of the University of Oregon and campus life last fall when he enrolled as a graduate from Jefferson high school. Why did he pick the Uni versity ? Bill says it was largely because he liked the school and also it provided a good background for his field. His field, incidentally, is medicine. Glad to Have Him Whatever his reasons were, the University and particularly Cap tain Robert Laurence of the ROTC department were mighty glad to have him. The tennis team at Ore gon during the past few years, while winning more matches than r it has lost, still hasn't been the taking- a back seat most of the time to the University of Wash ington's powerful Huskies. Rose looked like somebody who might do a lot to put the Webfoots right up on top. It will bo a lot easier to tell how true the expoetations coneerning Kill and his effects on Oregon ten nis were after today's Seattle match with the Huskies, but to date they’ve been plenty accurate. Crew Cut and All Rose, sporting a crew cut that makes hi mlook a lot taller than he is (5' 9'•>”), has grabbed off the number two singles spot on the squad, and in addition represents one-half of the first doubles team, fellow freshman Portlander Jack Neer being the other half. At least, that's the way he has stood for the Ducks' first four Northern Division matches.

However, Hose has beaten both of them be fore, having topped Fly in two matches out of four last year. Flaying winning tennis Is an old habit with Kill, (irnwlng up in I’ort land, he got started at the game at 15, under the direction of Miss Barbara Lum at Jefferson High. Bill originally considered baseball as his main athletic in terest, but claims he didn’t have the right connections, so went out for tennis instead and stayed with it. He also participated in Intra mural basketball and football at Jefferson. It didn't take Rose long to de velop his game, as he played in his first tournament the same year (Center Tournament in Portland, under 15 division), and took sec ond place in singles. In '49 he won the singles for under 18 entrants in the same tournament. Other highlights in his pre-college tennis record include first in the Portland City tournament singles in 1950, and first in the Northwest section al doubles in 1951. 3 Times in Finals Rose got into the state high school singles finals three times in a row, in 1949, 1950, and 1951. He's the only prep player ever to accomplish that feat. Incidentally, it was Neer who beat him out for the championship in '51. Tennis isn’t Bill's only interest, although hr admits that It's his main nnr. Hr also confesses to a rabid rnthiisliism for collecting coins. Coach Bob Laurence 1h plenty high on Rose, predicting that "to gether with Neer he will form the backbone of the squad next year.” Laurence notes that one of Rose’s strongest points is the fact that he doesn’t tire easily, which great ly helps him in keeping a consist ent game. Another strong point, Laurence considers, is his ability to place his shots. Rose is tops at this, and as a result, he usually has his opponent running all over the court. Captain Laurence believes that Rose’s serve Is the main thing that could stand Improvement, power being the chief thing he needs In that category. Also, “his vollejThg is good,” Laurence states, "but he needs a little work on his back hand and overhead smashes.” Red Cross Board Calls for Petitions Tho Red Cross board is calling for petitions for the year lSt.r>2-r>T5 board members.

Kveryone approved the situation that is, everyone except the prior bookkeepers who hail to send the monthly check of eight cents to Mr. Barker. Since postage was three cents and the charge for each check drawn was two cents, han dling charges amounted to five eighths of the salary. Bookkeepers Checked And furthermore, Barker didn't like to cash his checks, which caused undue gnashing of teeth among the bookkeepers who had to keep carrying forward an ever mounting balance of uncashed checks. Apparently, Mr. Barker was al ready financially self-sufficient, for he continued to save the checks as souvenirs. Nevertheless, when other school officials or teachers were suffering from a seven per cent slash on sal aries under $.r>00 per year, Mr. Barker stated in no uncertain terms that he didn't expect a sal ary reduction.
