Ducks, Beavers Gird for Grid Finale
Webfoots Given Slight
Edge in Portland Clash
hootball for Oregon fans—bows out Saturday afternoon at
Multnomah stadium, Portland when the University of Oregon
Webfoots and the Oregon State college Beavers clash in their
1 annual intra-state scrap at 1 AO p.m.
Although it seldom means much, the Ducks are rated slight
favorites over the hapless Orange, who ha\ e vet to win a Pad
lie ( oast conference formic in
six outings. Coach I.en Casa
nova's entry lia ■ had little more
success, although defeating
Stanford 21 20 Saturday in one
of the season’s lug upsets.
The Wefcfoots haven’t topped
their arch-rivals since 1918 when
Jim Aiken's co-championship squad
a 10-0 decision over Lon .Stiner's
eleven. Since then the Ducks have
fallen 20-10, 14-2 and 14-7.
Brethauer Leads Nation
Monte Brethauer, the nation's
leading pass catcher over a three
year period will captain the Web
foots in his final game. Brethauer
is one of 16 seniors on the club.
The others are: John Adams, Del
Clemens, Len Diederichs, Hal Dun
ham, Wayne Johnson, Bob Leter,
Hon Lyman, Don Long, Tom Novi
koff, Hal Simmons, Dick Stoutt,
Mel Stieeter, Emmett Williams
anti Bob Wilcox.
Brethauer, who needs 10 pass
receptions to break Bill McColl's
record of 106 catches for three
years, and Novikoff, the Ducks'
leading rusher, figure high
in Casanova's plans for the Beaver
game. Quarterback Barney Hol
land, a surprise performer at Palo
Alto Saturday, may get a starting
assignment for the Webfoots. The
remainder of the starting back

McKay Named Interior Boss;
Dulles, Wilson Get Key Jobs
. , ] . ,OV' I)ot,K,as McKay of Oregon will be secretary
M the interior John I-oster Dulles secretary of state and
Harks E. \\ ilson secretary of defense in President-elect
I hv.glit Eisenhower's cabinet, it was announced Thursday.
McKay said Eisenhower phoned him Thursday morning and
° accepted the cabinet offer. He said later, “I just couldn't
turn Ike down.
'I he announcement came as a surprise. McKav had been a
strong supporter of the general in A ^ ^
ine early days of the Eisenhower
for-Prcsident movement, but never
mentioned as a likely choice for
the cabinet.
McKay said he had no state
ments on his policies as secretary
of the interior. He has been an ac
tive member of the Columbia Basin
inter-agency committee studying
the development of Northwest re
sources. He has frequently backed
reclamation project work.
Dining the recent campaign he
said repeatedly that a Republican
administration would not mean an
end to construction of multi-pur
pose dams on rivers in tlm
Northwest.
He wouldn't say whether he will
support statehood for Alaska and
Hawaii. But he has supported it
ioui times at the national confer
ences of state governors.
McKay was elected governor in
1948 and was reelected in 1950.
Kailier McKay had been in the
state senate and served as mayor
of Salem.
This will be the first Oregonian
to fill a cabinet post since 1S71. At
that time, George H. Williams of
Portland was appointed attorney
general by Ulysses S. Grant, an
other general turned President.
W illiams had been chief justice of
the Oregon territory anil once was
a law partner of Stephen A. Doug
las.
IFC Discusses
Quota System,
Rushing, Sports
The quota system, winter rush
week, and intramural sports were
discussed in Thursday night’s In
ter-Fraternity Council meeting.
The present quota system used
by the houses for pledging receiv
ed the most discussion during the
three hour meeting. The house
quotas had been set as the differ
ence between the number of men
currently living in the house and
physical capacity of the house. Un
der this rule, fraternity men living
off campus were counted as one
half. If the fraternity exceeded its
quota, the house was to be fined
$50 for each man over the set fig
ure.
The biggest difficulty presented
under this system was the problem
of upper classmen from other
schools transferring and affiliat
ing with the local chapter. Many
of the men present felt that this
handicapped them from pledging

OREGON’S McKAY
From Statehouse to Cabinet
Patterson, Marsh
In Line for Post
'.Pi— The next governor of Ore
gon will be either of two state sen
ators: Paul Patterson of Hillsboro
or Eugene Marsh of McMinnville.
It all depends on when Gov.

Jan. 12. Patterson, as president of
the senate, will become governor.

Collin Questions Fitness
Of Washke for Position
The fitness of Paul Washke, pro
fessor of physical education, to
serve on the ASUO constitution
committee was challenged by Don
Collin, ASUO senator-at-large, at
Thursday night’s senate meeting.
Collin telt that the decision re
garding last year’s student body
and constitution amendment elec
tion was “a paradox and almost
contradictory”.
Collin States Objection
Collin stated that no member of
the committee which handed down
the decision should be appointed to
this year’s committee. Washke is
the only member of last year's
committee up for reappointment.
Washke, contacted at his home
Thursday evening, stated that the
decision by the constitution com
mittee last year was unanimous.
He said he was asked to serve
again by President H. K, Newburn
this year and he accepted.
The constitution committee
ruled the ASUO election would
stand as "there wasn't sufficient
evidence to show that, although
there were some irregularities in
the election procedure, any of them
were sufficient to indicate a dif
ferent result would have been
reached.”
Amendment Invalidated
The constitutional amendment,
which would have changed fresh
man elections from fall to winter
term, was declared invalid (al
though it passed 1600 to 3901 be
cause of lack of proper notice.
Chairman of the committee was
Kenneth J. O'Connell, professor of
law. Other faculty members on the
committee were Washke, Warren
C. Price.
Action by the senate on the rec
ommendations for the constitution
committee will be made later.
The senate also decided to send
several proposals to the constitu
tion committee when it is formed.
The committee will be asked for art
advisory opinion on whether the
dividing of the ballot for freshman
class officers into candidates fee
president and representative would
be legal and make it possible for
candidates for representative to bo
elected to the position. Last year
the president, vice-president and
both representatives were candi
dates for president.
A committee was set up by the.
senate to look into the “de-empha
sis'' of sports here at Oregon. The
group also set up a committee to
work with the student court cn
parking problems.
Heat Reason Given

heat noticed in the library wae
