Ducks Tied for Third In Cage Standings Oregon's WoDioots will be on the road again next Friday for their only weekend game an they try to hang on to regional tour nament chances, chances which now seem to hinge on a judgment that Seattle in playing a weak schedule. The Webfoota are third In the alandinga of North went Independ ent teama with a 12-9 record. Seattle University leads with an impressive 15-7 slate and Oregon State follows one-half a game ahead of Oregon with 13-9. Now Hulking over four Htraight losses, the Ducks will travel to 1'ortland University to teat the Pilot power which was degraded by Notre Dame 80-49 lant week end. The Pilots are actually tied with the Webfoota in the atand lngM aa they share the 12-9 rec ord. They will la* out to show that they also have a chance for the regionals especially if there is a decision to take two teama from the Northwest. If Oregon, Oregon State, or Portland can finish with a clean sweep of four games, that team could very well even have a chance to draw first notice from the committee. Seattle has been recognized as a team with a schedule which in cludes Idaho Stale and Montana State, as well as an overrated Oonzaga squad. Oregon State has proven something by beating the Chiefs twice, and the Webfoots split against the “free-lancing" sharp shooters. Incidentally, Denny Strickland shot 1-1 for 111 at the free throw line to hold his percentage high enough for national recognition. His .891. which led the nation last week, dropped three points to ,888.

MAC'S FLYING 'A' Corner Franklin & Villard FIE3 “I DON’T THINK THERE’S ANY END TO THE OPPORTUNITY IN THIS BUSINESS’’ When Gene Segin got his B.S. in Business Ad ministration at the University of Illinois, he was in touch with 8 prospective employers. Gene joined Illinois Bell Telephone Company because: “The people I talked to here made it very clear that I would not be shuffled into some narrow specialized job. I thought this job offered the greatest opportunity for broad experience.” On his first assignment Gene was sent to Spring field where he conducted courses in human rela tions for management people. His next move was to a traffic operations job in Rock Island. On this assignment he was in charge of all personnel who are directly responsible for handling telephone calls in this heavily popu lated area. Here Gene earned a reputation for sound judgment and skill in working with people. He was promoted to Traffic Supervisor. Today, Gene’s chief responsibilities are in man agement training and development, and company union relations. The latter includes contract bar gaining and helping settle labor disputes. How does Gene feel about his job? "It’s a real challenge. I'm in some of the most vital and in teresting work in the country.” And about the future—"Well there aren’t any pushover jobs around here. It’s tough. But if a man has what it takes, I don’t think there’s any end to the oppor tunity in this business.” * * * If you’re looking for a job with no ceiling on it—a job uhere you’re limited only by how much responsibility you can take and hoiv iveU you can handle it—then you’ll want to visit your Placement Office for literature and additional information on the Bell Companies. “Our number one aim is to hare in all management jobs the most vital, intelli~ gent, positive and imaginative men we can possibly find.” K Frederick R.
