Oregon State, winners of the
Northern division title and rated
among the top teams of the na
toin, smothered the Bruins, 63
46, Saturday night. The night
before the same UCLA five
bowed, 69-52.
No single individual could
claim direct responsibility for
the victories, which had their
root in superior and nearly
faultless offensive coordination.
Coach Slats Gill called the
turn after the game when he
labeled the Beaver five "the
best offensive team I've ever
coached."
They simply turned on the
steam and dissolved the Bruins
defense as they blasted a path to
the coast title.
Rocha, the lanky Hawaiian
beanpole', and the Bruin's great
Negro Center Don Barksdale,
provided the real competitive
thrill of the series in what could
have been billed "the battle of
the giants." The OSC center
finished the season with a grand
total of 247 points, closely fol
lowed by Barksdale with 226.
Oregon State turned Satur
day night's game into a scoring
picinc in which it allowed the
score to be tied only once.
Lew Beck, OSC guard, won
the individual scoring honors
with 18 points. Forward Cliff
Crandall and Rocha followed
him for the Beavers with 15 and
12 points, respectively.
Forward Johnny Stanich led
the scoring for the lowers with
14 points, closely followed by
Barksdale with 13.

A MESSAGE
THE SECRETARY OP WAR
How you can help YOU IS
DO ITS PART
With the President's proposal for
the discontinuance of Selective Service on
March 31, America will rely on voluntary
enlistments for the maintenance of the
Regular Army at authorized strength.
In view of world conditions today, this is
a step of the gravest importance to every
American citizen. Never before in history
has any nation raised and maintained a
million-man army by the volunteer system
alone. Our ideals, our belief in individual
freedom, our safety and our duty to pro
mote world peace all are bound up in this
decision.
This is your Army, and voluntary enlist
ment is your choice. It must not fail. With
your help it will not fail. The Army must
continue to provide adequate .occupation
forces overseas, to supply these forces, and
to help in keeping America strong and secure.
Your help and understanding can do
much to encourage a steady flow of 3-year
voluntary enlistments, necessary to sound
training and the efficient performance of
the Army's task. .

FOR
When you discuss this subject with your
sons, brothers, husbands or friends who may
be considering an Army career, bear in mind
the advantages offered by a 3-year enlist
ment. Among them are the choice of branch
of service and of overseas theater where
openings exist, and the opportunity for
training in valuable skills at Army schools.
It is a high tribute to the loyalty and spirit
of the American soldier that two out of every
three men in the present Army are veterans
men who have known the hardships of war
and have chosen to continue their service.
A job in the new Regular Army is a good
job a job that compares favorably with the
average in industry, and has more oppor
tunities for promotion than most.
You can help by giving your respect and
support to the man who enlists voluntarily
to do his part in carrying out your country's
world-wide obligations to build a peace that
will endure.
