MALICE AT CORVALLIS
Pucks seeking victory
It was "football first, studies
second" for Oregon’s varsity this
week.
Normally, the coaching staff
insists that the players put
scholastics ahead of sport, but
the traditional battle with Ore
gon State has changed the at
mosphere.
It's no secret that the Ducks
are going all out for a victory.
The odds are always "even-up”
for an OSC-Oregon football
game — and there's no evidence
to indicate otherwise in consid
ering this Saturday’s classic at
Corvallis.
On paper, the Beavers have
the ledge. They've won five PCC
games and dropped two and are
tied with WSC (also 5-2) for
second. Cal boasts a 5-1 record
and the league leadership.
If Cal and WSC lose this week
end (they play traditional rivals
Stanford and Washington, re
spectively) the Beavers would
be in a position to win the con
ference title (and a possible Rose
Bow! bid).
But first they've got to get
past the Ducks.
Len Casanova's Oregon team
is fifth in the league. The Web
foots have won three (Idaho,
USC and Stanford) and dropped
four (WSC, Cal, Washington and
UCLA). Three of th$ four loss
es were by one touchdown.
But Oregon has shown well
statistically — if nob on the
scoreboard — and despite in
juries to certain key performers
(halfback Charlie Tourville is

Finance Dept, trims
Board budget request
SALEM <»—'The state Board of
Higher Education's record $60,
679,000 budget request was cut
by 6.6 million dollars Thursday.
The cut was made by the state
Department of Finance and Ad
ministration, which indicated it
might cut it even more before it
is submitted to the Legislature.
The request is for the two years
beginning next July 1. It is 30 per
cent greater than the appropria
tion for the current biennium.
Gov. Robert D, Holmes told the
board:
"I am operating on a clean
mandate from the voters of Ore
gon for economy and no new
taxes.”
The governor added that it
would be impossible to provide
new buildings for the university,
colleges and institutions without
getting the people to approve a
bond issue for this purpose.
The proposed 6.6-million dollar
cut would' eliminate many pro
posed salary increases, as well as
requests for more faculty mem
bers to meet increased enroll
ments.
A spokesman for the board
said:
"We don’t think this is in any
way an extravagant budget. It
is based on the assumption that
steady increases in enrollment
will continue, that prices of sup
plies and equipment will increase,
and that faculty salaries must be
kept on a competitive basis.’’
fela are expected to start)—even
ardent Beaver supporters will not
say they've got it in the bag.
Students were reminded that
tickets would be on sale here un
til noon today and at Parker sta
dium Saturday.
Dukes nix Ags;
offer new bet
Oregon's yell dukes are be
lievers in charity.
At least their reaction to
the proposal of OSC's rally
men suggests this. (The Bea
\er wager: yell dukes of win
ning team after Saturday’s
UO-OSC clash will administer
“haircuts” to the losers.)
Though we’re tempted to
take our OSC cohorts up on
their little wager,” commented
a Duck cheerleader Thursday,
“we feel we must take their
unprotected welfare into con
sideration—one should make
allowances for agrarian insti
tutes- Obviously, they don’t
realize how awful their duck
tails would look, shaved to
the skull.”
To please the wagering
whims of the Beaver rallyists,
however, tiie HO leaders have
offered a substitute bet. The
rally squad from the losing
school will travel by eanoe
up/down the Willamette River
to the victorious school, where
they will perform at a Friday
variety show.”
“Since they insist on pur
suing this reckless, sportive
vein in the face bf overwhelm
ing odds,” said the DO cheer
leader, we feel this challenge
will take less advantage of the
brash Beavers.”
