Battling Beavers Home
With Honors Intact
Oregon State College Oregon's
famous football phenoms, the bat
tling Beavers who busted the bet
ting brethren of Broadway, return
ed to their home campus Thursday,
January 8. just a week to the day
after they rocked the sports world
by their 20-16 victory over the Duke
"Blue Devils" in the transplanted
Rose Bowl game in Durham, N. C.
They were welcomed home by an
enthusiastic crowd of students, fac
ulty, and sundry Oregon backers
who constituted the only people in
the country outside of the squad
and coaches who believed they
could do what the "experts" said
was impossible.
As Coach Lon Stiner explained it,
the Beavers were fighting for. more
than a mere victory in football. Af
ter the events of the fall season in
which eastern teams socked those
from the west several times, and af
ter the O. S. C. chances with Duke
were openly belittled, the Orange
men were fighting for the honor of
the state, of the west and of the
quality of Pacific Coast conference
football.
That this honor was fully upheld
was proclaimed by newspapers and
radios from Maine to San Diego and
the "islands of the sea," Members
of the party who returned with the
team said the favorable nationwide
attention gained for the state as a
whole and 0. S. C. exceeded any
thing that was even dreamed of ev
en after the Orangemen won the
coast championship and the Rose
Bowl bid.
Though cancellation of the game
in Pasadena was first looked on as
a catastrophe, the resultant shift to
Durham actually served to add to
the fame and prestige of Oregon,
as the victory occurred right in the
center of the skeptical east and
south, with many more .big eastern
sports writers present than could
have watched the game in Pasadena.
Books for Armed
Forces Sought in Drive
The Oregon State college exten
sion service will assist in the na
tionwide drive to collect books for

The campaign is being spossored by
the American Library association,
the American Red Cross, and. the
United Service organizations.
"It is hoped that from five to 10
million volumes will be obtained to
supplement the library services fur
nished by the government," says
Miss Jensen. "The books obtained
will be loaned out free on a liberal
basis with no hard and fast return
dates and no. fines in case the ser

books may be left at the city hall.
Although the government provides
libraries in the larger camps, the
smaller units have no library at all,

creational reading is usually far
greater than the supply. Books pro

will thus supplement the govern

ON EXTENSIONS OF ELECTRIC SERVICE
To release steel, aluminum,
zinc and copper to United
States fighting forces!
-
"1c Because America must conserve
materials essential to military and
naval production, the government
has placed limitations on the build
ing of electric lines except to serve
approved defense activities.
Pacific Power & Light is doing its
best to follow the spirit as well as
the letter of these regulations. It can
not build power lines into rural areas
or into suburban parts of cities and
towns, such as it could a few months
ago. Nor can extensive installations
be made to serve stores or industries
without specific approval of the
Office of Production Management.
Under present conditions new
homes usually can be served if they
are a very short distance from exist
ing distribution lines.
Naturally, it is an inconvenience
not to have electric service facilities
so freely available as in the past,
but we are sure you will appreciate
the urgent reasons why the ,0PM
has taken these steps to release more
steel, copper, zinc and aluminum to
the American army and navy. ;..
