QlffrJJ ♦ Although the Oregon spring is apparently somewhere just around a circular corner and about the same distance ahead of us it was a month ago, the potentially sports program on the Post remains unfledged. As announced two weeks though, great things are a-borning. Post softball leagues with both military and civilian personnel lay ing lusty plans, are scheduled soon to get underway. Even the lasses plan a league and, photographical ly at least, this should he very nice. The 70th division plans to go heavily into both hard and softball. Whatever the sports situation on our Post, it cannot compare with major league baseball. The Ameri can league circuit is due to blos som on April 18 with its first game- at Chicago, Detroit. Wash ington and Boston, whilst the steady old National league starts off at New Yoik, Philadelphia, Cin cinnati and St. Louis. It all begins in a spavined con dition never before considered pos sible. It must be the war. Never theless, there are a surprising lot of 4-b’s around with enough spark li ft to give presentable ball. Cros sett! and Bonham of the Yanks, for ¡■stance; Dizzy Trout and D ih - Cramer of Detroit. Both Morton and Walker Cooper will help the patch-work Cardinal team again. Jimmy Foxx is on the Cub come- ' back trail while the hearse of the "hin-field,” I.ippy Durocher, still is a problem child of the Dodgers. '"í F Av Lt Y'WANNA MEET SNOW WHITE?

She is a native Oregonian, born in a town called Glendale. Marjorie is 5'5” tall, would like a Signal Corps Phots flick at the flickers in Hollywood. (Note to: Darryl Zanuck, Milt Hrenn. etc.—not a had het). She likes dancing, bowling, horseback riding. She has no particular heart alliances, but if you fit this hill and are a gentleman, she likes her gentlemen to be "slender, tender and tall." Marjorie studied secretarial science at OSC. but if such a lovely lassie escapes Matrimonial Science for too long, the Sentry will be surprised.
