Cat Gives Master Trouble; Now on Sale Portland np 'Anyone want a dull-witted alley cat named Adam? The price tag is $350. Not too long ago Adam was on sale at the Oregon Humane Society for $1. He was bought by student John Smallman and installed in a fourth-story apart ment. Exhibiting more of a cat's natural xuriosity than brains, Adam went exploring his new quarters, leaping from window ledge to window ledge. The last ledge he attempted he missed and fell four stories. Taken to a hospital in grave condition, Adam survived the pile up at least $350 in doctor, medical and hospital bills. His owner says that paying that bill would mean quitting school and he has no intention of quit ting school. Adam, now the pitcure of health and vigor, lives on at the hospital, the bills still mounting and without a friend in the world.

Whereas the Huskies can look for some improvement because of greater familiarity with the offense than a year ago, they face a couple of handicaps which are new: 1 Pacific Coast defenses will see more of the offense this fall, with, California under Pete Elli ott switching to it and Don Clark at Southern Cal planning to utlilize an attack which isn't too different. Last year only Oregon and Washington ran the Split-T. 2 The depth in running backs and in tackles up front to clear the way, which characterized the 1956 team, is gone. With it, of course ,is the ability to run fresh talent in and out of the game at will. ' Because of these two factors, and particularly the latter, it's difficult to see the Huskies im proving on their offensive record which in 1956 showed 34 touch downs in 10 games and 2688 yards gained on the ground, good for a school record.

(International Soundphoto) Janitor of House Will Be Known as Chief Custodian Washington OP) The House believes a rose by an other name could smell a little sweeter after all. It solemnly voted Thursday to dub its chief janitor with the classier title of chief custodian. The assistant janitor got a new title, too. He's now the as sistant custodian. No extra money was men tioned. But the House move was clearly the latest crest in a wave of progress that is ele vating the tone of American oc cupations.
