Carey has signed on With an Oak land, CaL, AAUtoutfit and will play with Jack Nichols, the Washing ton Husk terrific; Chuck Hangar. Andy Wolle and George Cuneo of California and others of equal hue. The team will be coached by the famed Hank Luisetti . . . Speaking Gill, he's apt to pop up with some thing on the' gosh-awful side within the next few seasons. While patrol ling the campus one day he spotted. of all things, a 7-foot freshman! The kid was waylaid but quickly, natch. But lo, he has never played any sort of athletics. So for the present the 7-footer is merely "project Gill" around the Corvallis campus . . . On the same, side. Gill has welcomed a 6-foot, 7-inch transfer to OSC who has played some basketball in Cali- fomia Another' dandy freshman at Corvallis, in the eyes of the men- tors who. give with 21 -carat sparkle vi- time his name is mentioned, 6-foot, 3-inch, 22-pound Ed Thomas, He's another of the Joe Kasberger prep schoolers of New Jersey and joins the same Kasberger-to-Keene movement that sent such remembered worthies as Dick iWeisgerber, Johnny Oravec, Johnny Kolb and others to Willamette years ago when Spec Keene was headman here.

After turning down a deal wherein he was to broadcast all San Diego baseball games in the Coast league, Al has tied in with the Northern Life company here and is selling all types of insurance. As the former Washington Husky great puts it, "Now when they ask me what I'm doing, I'll tell 'em gladly." If eb foot Stock Goes Up They didn't win as was hoped. to bust the Big-9 whammy over the Coast conference, but what other PCC eleven has done as well ( against the Midwesters ay did Ore- t gon at Michigan? The answer is : none, and emphatically. Jim Aiken & Co., as now known, out-yarded and out-first downed the highly touted Wolverines, which is some thing over which other Coast ele vens can be deeply concerned. The Michigan game was the one in which the Webfoots were to dis play whether they had it as big timers or not.. They proved they have it, all right The only thing that will subtract from the pres tige the Oregons built up will be possible feebleness by, the Michi gans in their upcoming games against their owrt conference bre thren.
