PUCKS START WIGHT
Win Inaugural,
University of Oregon fought off
a determined last half rally on the
part of the University of Portland
Pilots to win Its 1953-54 basket
ball season inaugural Tuesday
night at Marshfield, 79-72.
Since this was the first game for
both quints, the ballhandling and
shooting percentages were under
standably below par for the two
rivals. The Ducks, however, did
show a little better accuracy at
the gift line, and this department
was the difference between the
clubs when the final buzzer buz
zed.
Max Anderson, 0 foot, 7 inch
sophomore center, did a fine job in
his varsity caaaba debut for the
Ducks, handling himself like an
old pro in the Webfoot pivot spot.
He, along with rangy Ed Hal
borg, dominated the Oregon re
bounding picture. Big Max also
showed an accurate hook shot, and
hawked the ball several times
when Pilots drove in for layins.
He was second man on the high
point list with 16.
Both quintets, usually noted for
a race-horse type of play, showed
little speed in general. Instead,
they worked on smoothing down
ball handling and improving re
spective offenses.
The game did not, however, fail
to provide its share of thrills. As
the last half opened, the Pilots
surged from a 12 point deficit to
within 3, 43-40. Halberg and An
derson temporarily put the Web
foots on easy street with a five
point burst.
But the Portland crew pounded
right back in the last frame and
kept within whispering distance
for the rest of the game. At one
time it was 64-61, and two minutes
later the score stood n70-66.

Plenty of Action Packs IM Scene |
As Phi Delfs, Hale Kane Advance 1
Action galore was the keynote
in the A volleyball semi-finals,
with the two games on tap pro- j
vifling a total of an hour and a half
of torrid net play. Represented in
Tuesday’s action were Phi Delta1
Theta, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Hale!
Kane, and Campbell Club.
The first game provided by far
the majority of the action, as it
went into three games, two of
which were taken by Phi Delta
Theta. The Sig Eps captured the
second contest. In the first of the
games, the Phi Delts barely man
aged to squeak by the Sig Eps
to the tune of 18-16.
Tight Offense, Defense
The contest was very close, with !
both teams playing heads up ball!
on both offense and defense. The \
second game was another close;
one with the final count being 15
13 on the Sig Eps side of the fence, i
The final clash proved to be the j
clincher for the Phi Delts. as they
came back strong to outscore the
Sig Eps, 15-6.
Outstanding players would be
very hard to pick for either team, j
but Garry JftcMurry, Don Sullivan, j
and Chuck Turbyfill for the Sigj
Eps, and “Spider” Farnum, A1.
Mundel, and Bob Wagner for the I
Phi Delts all contributed to their I
teams scoring punch.
Fluid-Drive Hawaiian*
Hale Kane continued on their
winning way by snowing under a I
brave, bat weak, Campbell Cbd»
team in two successive sets, 15 1
and 15-4. The scores alone denote
the strength of Hale Kane’s at
tack, but it cannot show the
smoothness with which their of
fensive plays work. Campbell Club
was merely no match for the fluiit
drive Hawaiians. Martin Magi an#*
Kay Coley were the two big spik
ers for Hale Kane while the whole
team showed up well on the set
ups.

Watching the serenity of Christinas skies
we are conscious of deep silence. Yet the
stars are talking to us all the while—talking
in radio waves that are full of meaning to
scientists probing the depths of space.
The important discovery that some stars
produce radio waves was made by a
Bell Laboratjpries scientist while exploring
atmospheric disturbances which might in
terfere with transoceanic telephone serv
ice. His discovery marked the birth of
the fast-growing science of radio astron
omy. It is telling us of mysterious light
less stars that broadcast radio waves, and
it promises exciting revelations about vast
regions of space concealed by clouds of
cosmic dust.
And so from the probings and skills of
Bell System, scientists and engineers has
come another tool to help man understand
better the universe in which he lives.
These men are a proud team—members of
a still larger team engaged in research,
engineering and administration and work
ing on telephone problems in all parts of
the country. We would like you to con- i
sider joining them. ,
There are employment opportunities
with the companies that provide telephone
service, with Western Electric, and with
the Bell Laboratories. We need young men
for the leaders in tomorrow’s Bell Tele- j
phone System. Check today with your !
Placement Officer for details.
