ommendations arrived at by Red
Cross directors, who were on hand
from virtually all of the army
camps in Oregon, will be made on
basis of percentage.
Recommendation was that the
fund break-down be in two pools.
The portion allocated pool one,
which will dominantly be equip
ment and distributed first, will go
to detached units throughout the
state. Distribution from pool two
will go to the Army Camps.
A sizeable portion of the total
will be apportioned the area in
which Camp Adair is situated.
A further recommendation to be
observed in the distribution, pro
vides that a larger part of the fund
will be spent for group equipment

Beavers Building for Baseball Season
Building a hall club around three lettermen is the tough
job confronting Coach Ralph Coleman. Most of his squad
is made of inexperienced sophomores and freshmen. Only
lettermen back this year are Don Durdan, first base or out
field; Vic Brown, center fielder; and Bill McCluskey, short
stop. All three veterans have looked good in early workouts.
The pitching staff is causing Coley to worry plenty.
All of last year’s mound staff have been taken away by
graduation or the army. At present the best hurlers appear
to be Don Cecil, the Orange basketball ace; and Andy FraMer,
up from last year’s Rook team.
