    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.

“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.”

ajjl American Telephone & Telegraph Co.
