WEEKEND GAMES
Idaho at Oregon State
Washington at WSC
On the same two evenings at Pull
man, Washington, the Cougars of
Washington State play host to
Washington's defending champion
Huskies.
By the time these contests are
all completed Saturday night, bas
ketball fans along the Pacific
Coast ought to be much more in
the light as to which teams will be
the ones to beat this season.
O.S.C. Favored
At the present writing everyone
is pretty well agreed that O. S C.
and its automatic scoring machine,
."•ven foot-three inch Wade Hal
brook, has to be placed right at
the top in the list of favorites. The
Beavers on paper appear to have
everything needed to waltz away
with the N. D. crown.
The biggest threat to the Gill
men’s title plans appears to be
Idaho so when these two quints
square off for their week-end tus
sles the chips will definitely be on
the table. By virtue of their two
game split with Oregon's Ducks
the Vandals must win at least one
of the games with the Beavers in
order to stay in the running for
the championship.
Must Stop Halbrook
Idahos hopes for victory against
Oregon State will probably rest
on the shoulders of their six foot
eight inch center, red-headed
Dwight Morrison, who will no
doubt get the tought defensive as
signment of guarding Halbrook.
If Morrison can do a reasonably
good Job of holding down his sky
scraping opponent and also pro
duce a few points of his own the
Vandals might have a chance.
Chuck Finley’s courtsters demon
strated in the Oregon games that
they have the speed and the scor
ing punch to stay with the Bea
vers if they can just find a coun
terpart to Halbrook.
The W. S. C.-Washington games,
although not drawing as much in
terest as the O. S. C.-Idaho af
fairs, should be very revealing.
Both teams are conceded little
chance of getting far this year as

far as championship Intentions are
concerned but both have crafty
coaches and either one might prove
to be a ’’darkhorse” contender.
Tippy Dye's Huskies, minus all
five of last year’s starting line
up, have lost eight straight con
tests this season and have yet to
score their first win. However, all
of Washington’s games have been
against top flight competition and
this probably makes them look
much weaker than they actually
are.
Parsons Leads Huskies
Eig scorer for the Huskies so far
has been their big pivot man7Dean
Parsons, who has tallied 146 points
in the eight Washington pre-con
ference games for a neat average
of 18.3 per game. Parsons will be
counted on to score heavily against
the Cougars this week-end.
Against Dye’s hoopsters Coach
Jack Freil of Washington State
will send a team onto the boards
whose talents are somewhat un
known. W. S. C. has many veter
ans returning from their team of
last year but in games to date the
Pullman lads have left much to be
desired in the way of playing
ability. High scoring forward, Ron
Bennink, has been the only Cougar
to show any consistent pointmak
ing skill at all.
Students to Get Look
At Wrestlers Saturday
University of Oregon students get their first glimpse
collegiate wrestling in twelve years Saturday when Goaofe
Bill Hammer puts his grapplers on the line against Oregon
Tech in McArthur court at 2:30 p. m.
The Frosh, under the coaching of Bill Denman, go to the
post earlier in the day, taking on Klamath Falls high school
in an 11 a. m. preliminary match.
Fight Louts are slated for both teams, each bout lasting
three rounds of three minutes each. Collegiate rules will
govern the action.
This is the first match in an eleven game schedule that:
Hammer has lined up for his mat men. Most of the compe
tition will come from state opposition, but there will be en
gagements with Washington State and California.

THEY STARTED OUT EVEN AT GRADUATION:
why is eiHNteing better new?
You may not see it in their outward appear
ances — but there’s a big difference betw een
these young men. One has.held three jobs
in the five years since graduation. He’s,
still looking for a job that offers him a
lifetime career. The other has been with
a Bell Telephone Company during that
time. He’s on his way up!
Seventy-five per cent of college men
hired by the Bell Companies since World
War II are still with these telephone com
panies after five years/ Here’s why:
Telephone Work Is Interesting—You may
train to supervise forces engaged in construct
ing, installing or maintaining telephone facili
ties; or to manage groups of people handling
customer contact, accounting or statistical
work. You may work on engineering problems
or be engaged in planning or other important
staff activities, such as personnel relations,
public relations, or revenue studies.
You Grow with a Growing Business — The
Bell System is one of the fastest growing busi- ■
nesses in the world. Since the end of World'
War II, it has spent about nine trillion dollars
for new construction. The past five yeais have
seen the introduction of network TV trans- '
mission, dialing of Long Distance calls and '
the development of the remarkable transistor. '•'
And the next five years will bring many more l!
changes. In addition, each year the number '!
of college people hired, is related to estimates 11
of the number of future management postions •(
to be available. -i
lj
No matter what your military status, it’s !(
worth inquiring about Bell System em
ployment opportunities. Your Placement T
Officer has the details. See him soon. And I
be sure to talk to our employment repre-- |
sentatives when they visit the campus-. The |
time to plan your future is now!
