An Ameri can Legion junior baseball team of IS players selected from throughout the United States will make a flying, six-week tour of eight Latin American countries next fall it has been announced by National Com mander J. Addington Wagner. Commander Wagner said the teen-age team, representative of more than a million boys en rolled in the 1956 American Le gion Junior program, will visit Colombia, Cuba, 1 Salvador, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Puerto. -Rico and Venezuela, probably between September 10 and October 20. "The American Legion is spon soring this tour as a good will project. Commander Wagner said. "We believe that this all- representative American Legion team can do a great deal to in crease understanding and good will for the United States in Latin America. That is our hope Kids To Remember Steam Locomotives Austin, Tex. U.R Kids for generations to come in this area will be able to see what the now little-used steam locomotive rail road engine was like, thanks to an idea started by a sports store operator. The idea sprang up some time ago when a man and his son came into George Stautz sports store shopping for a model train. The youngster had his eye on a fancy diesel model when- his fa ther remarked to Stautz: "You know, it won't be long before kids don't know anything about steam engines." That remark started Stautz, president of the Austin Rotary club, thinking, and he felt some thing ought to be done about it. Several members started working on the project and it wasn't long before the Southern Pacific Lines agreed to give the Rotary club and the city one of its old steam engines to be mounted on a vacant tract of land beside the city's central fire station. Better Diet Aids Births To Eskimos Washington U.B Eskimos ; are having three times as many ; babies because their diet is ; better. i Prof. G. E. MacGinitie of the California Institute of Technol ogy, in a report published by the ; Smithsonian Institute, observes that births increase as much as , three-fold when eskimos eat "whiteman's food" instead of their traditional animal diet of whale, fish and seal. ! The professor made his bio logical observations at the: Navy's Arctic Research Labora-! tory at Point Barrow, Alaska, j "When hunting was the only ; means of subsistence," he writes, J "Eskimo women became preg-: rant only once in several years, i but with the new diet they bear j a baby about every year."

OSC 1956 GridTeamShould Be Better Than 1955 Club; May Not Finish As High in Pv Conference By JOHN EGGERS OSC Athletic Publicity Director Corvallu Oregon State col lege will have a better football team, but one that might not win as many games or finish as high in Pacific Coast Conference standings. That, in a single sen tence, basically tells the story of what to eicpect from the Beavers next fall.' True, the team will be strong er than the 1955 rags-to-riches outfit that surprised everyone with a 2nd place PCC finish. At most positions, there is more depth, and it's logical to assume that the holdover veterans will be better versed in the balanced line single-wing attack. On the other hand, the 1956 schedule is a real toughie one that sends the Beavers on the road four times in the first five games. After opening at Mis souri, OSC must head for Los Angeles the next week end to take on Southern California, the pre-season Rose Bowl choice. And a week later, it's Iowa at Iowa City. Every PCC Team All told, Oregon State goes against every PCC team, in addi tion to the intersectionals with Missouri and Iowa. For the first time in years, it's a 10-game slate at OSC, with nary a Satur day off to sooth the wounds: Tommy Prothro did a master ful job in his head coaching be but at OSC last fall. It was the , highest finish for any Oregon State team since 1946, when the Beavers also took 2nd in the PCC chase under Lon Stiner. He took over what generally had. been regarded as the worst foot ball team in 57 years of OSC football (won one, lost eight!, and developed it into 6-3 club in one year. Missing will be 12 experienced lettennen, among them such de . pendables as Ron Slegrist, Dick Mason, Arlo Wenstrand, Howard, Buettgenbach and Bob Riggert. Some 17 players who won let ters last year under Prothro are . returning, augmented by. last; year's strong freshman crop that was undefeated in three games played. Beaver fans everywhere are optimistic over the future of Ore- -gon State football.
