\ Play Single Game
" Intramural volleyball action
yesterday consisted of only one
‘ game, with two forfeits marring
the slate. There is only one week
of regular play left, so all of the
teams are playing harder to hold
onto their leads, or to take over
, the top spots.
In the only game played, Camp
► bell Club’s “B” team rolled to a
two game victory over the Chi
► Psi "B's," with the scores being
35-8 in the first contest, and 15-5
■ ir> the finale. The Campbell Club
• bers climbed to an early lead in
[ the opener, but near the close,
I Chi Psi started rolling, only to be
l stopped short of their goal.
[The second and final game saw
Campbell Club In control all of the
way. They scored quickly and
surely, with the whole team show
ing up very well. Bob Robinson
and Elmer Jones were probably
l the most outstanding men during
* the game.

I Drill Sfarts For
Frosh Hoopsters
Under the direction of Frosh
Basketball Coach Don Kirsch, the
■ Duckling hoop men have been
working out now for the last three
weeks. Individual defensive abili
ties have been stressed lately, as
they are being groomed for a man
to man defense.
According to Kirsch there are a
lot of good little men, but the big
boys are still a question mark.
Kirsch is pleased with the of
fensive ability of the guards and
is now working the whole team
into an offensive unit. They are
all good on offense individually
says the coach and now he has the
Job of making them into a team.

This will be the first intercol
legiate grappling team for Oregon
since 1939, when a group called
the Mat-Mitt club operated on a
part time basis. It went out when
the war years came along.
Both varsity and frosh are
asked to turn out for the first
meeting, since Hammer antici
pates ^vo squads. There will be
eight ^sight divisions for the two
teams — 123, 130, 137, 147, 157,
167, 177, and unlimited pound
classes.
Enthusiasm for the wrestling
squad started last year when
three men started an intra-school
mat team. The group reached in
tercollegiate status late last
spring, and the grapplers got a
coach when Hammer came from
Springfield, Mass., to coach the
frosh footballers and the wrest
lers.
Assisting Hammer will be Bill
Denman, fifth year student in ed
ucation. Denman was one of the
backers of last year’s wrestling
club.
Interest is the main qualifica
tion for those who plan to turn
out. Experience is, of course, very
useful, but not necessary, accord
ing to the coaches.
The coaches plan to help each
team member work out his sched
ule so that he will have time to
practice and work out. All equip
ment, except gym shoes, will be
furnished by the athletic depart
ment.
Hammer adds that the wrestling
room in the Men's gym has been
completely re-outfitted, including
wall mats. New meet uniforms
have also been added.
Up till last spring, the Univer
I sity of Oregon was the only school
in the Pacific Coast conference to
not put out a mat team.
Since the first year will be one
of building up and developing new
material, the coaches have drawn
up a schedule with three other
PCC schools, and four other Ore
gon schools. The squad will go
through a 14 game home and home
slate with California, WSC, OSC,
Portland State, Lewis and Clark,
OTI and Multnomah Athletic club.
The first meet is January 9.
Hammer and Denman also sent
out a call for managers to help
with the two teams. All prospec
tive coaching aids are asked to
attend a meeting at 7 p. m. in
the Student Union, Thursday.

Ducks Gird For QSC Game

Beaver Threat
Spirit was high Tuesday after
noon out on the practice field as
the Oregon Ducks went through
their second day of grid practice
for the Homecoming clash this
Saturday with the cross state Ore
gon State Beavers.
The Ducks were confident dur
ing the practice, but not over
confident. They are currently rid
ing the crest of a four game un
defeated streak, longest since th«

seven game victory string set by
the 1948 Cotton Bowl aggregation.
Oregon will go into the game as
heavy favorites—on paper. But
sportsmen have learned long ago
not to base predictions on pre
game performances. Records mean
nothing when the Ducks and Ag
gies meet.
OSC Coach Kip Taylor really
went out on the limb at a press
club meeting in Corvallis Monday
and predicted that his Beavers,
who have won only two games this
year, will beat the Oregon’s, who
have beaten USC and tied Cal.
Reports from the Corvallis cam
pus say that Beaver backers fig
ure the Ducks have hit their peak
and will be on the way downhill
when the Homecoming game rolls
around.
Oregon’s injury list, which look
ed pretty bad after the Cal con
test, has diminished to only one
real serious casualty. That one
“Lame Duck’’ however, is a mighty
important one, halfback Dick
James.
The diminutive sophomore, third

bounce back and go into the Ag

"HOW GOES IT?” dials New York-*}
and a building in Illinois answers
Shell Oil Co. wanted a small brick build*
ing in Illinois to be able to teletype auto*
matically to a dispatcher in Radio City
more than 800 miles away. The building
in Dennison, III., is one of four pumping
stations on an important oil line. For
efficiency, all these stations were to be
controlled from New York. Bell System
engineers were asked to help.
Now the New York dispatcher oper
ates these stations by using an ordinary
telephone dial. By dialing a number, he
can make a pumping station automatic
cally report back its meter readings by
teletype! He also dials numbers to open
and shut valves, start and stop pumps,
and summon an attendant. It’s dona
through Bell System facilities. j*
These remote-control installations
represent salesmanship, research and *
engineering skill on the part of many
Bell System people. That’s the reason
there are rewarding opportunities in
many lines for college people in the tele- 1
phone company. Why not check soon
with your Placement Officer on your \
chances to start with the Bell System
after graduation? ^
