The Post basketball team,
with four scalps to its credit
against no defeats, will take
on a cage squad representing
the department of Military Sci
ence and Tactics of the Uni
versity of Oregon at the All-
Purpose Recreation Hall Jan
uary 8, Lt. Henry L. Hansen,
athletic officer, has announc
ed. Game time is set for 7:30
p.m. A couple of preliminary
contests also are slated for the
evening's bill.
A contest scheduled Wed
nesday night against Prine-
viile was postponed.
Ice skating became an impor
tant item on Camp Abbot’s re
creation menu this week with
the announcement that a large
lagoon in the floating bridge
area near the main encampment
has been set aside for skaters.
Here’s how you get there: Go
down First avenue, past the dog
kennels and take the first road
to the left leading to the bridge
area. The lagoon is about one
mile from the flag pole.
Soldiers who do not have
skates may obtain them from
the Special Service Office. About
40 pair, of both clamp and shoe
varieties, are available. Skates
m ust be returned by noon the
following day, except on week
ends, or the soldier will lose his
“borrowing privileges.” Skates
borrowed for the week-end must
be picked up at the All-Purpose
building before 5 p. m. Saturday
and may be returned by noon
Monday.
Plans are under way for con
struction of a shelter shortly
after the first of the year.
