Want To Shake Slump If Washington State wants to stay in the race, the Cougars will have to get by the defending champion Oregon Staters, who can't go to the bowl because of the "no-repeat" rule. But the Beavers have lost two straight games and will be out to shake their slump. California plays UCLA in the Los Angeles Coliseum and both teams have a lot of bouncing room. The Bears were beaten by Oregon, 24-6, last week, and Stanford trimmed the Bruins, 20-6. Southern California, looking for its first victory in six games, goes against the Washington Huskies, who have only one win but that was a 19-7 stunner over Oregon State last week. The ninth member of the PCC, Idaho, goes against Montana State.

IsTliat So? Sy EUGENE BURNS Rafigsr-Naturalist From the almost hairless So maliland rat of the desert to the shaggy-coated musk oxf the northland, all warm - blooded mammals have hair. - Its uses are many. Many ani mals have whiskers attached to nerve ends for touch particu larly In the dark. Eyelashes keep out dust. Hairy tails remove troublesome Insects. The white tailed deer signals by throwing its tail upright when danger threatens. For traversing loose snow fields, the varied hare, fox, wolf and polar bear have paws over grown with stiff fur which make snowshoe-like pads. For warmth and protection, squirrels wrap their long bushy tails about their faces when coiled In sleep. Hol low hair helps the caribou swim high out of the water buoyed by its natural lifebelt. A porcu pine's spines protect it from ill meaning marauders. And hair keeps out cold, sheds rain, and shuts out the sun's dangerous rays. Hair is of two basic kinds the long bristly, protective guard hair which sheds water readily and protects the animal; and the soft, downy, silk-like fibres known as "fur fibers," some times referred to as underfur. Take the two together and the fur keep's the animal warm (as well as Its second-hand user, the human). , Density of hair, growth and texture vary with place, season and the animal's personal habits. At southernmost limits, the bea ver is provided with thin fur in marked contrast to the dense fur of the same species at the north ernmost limits of its Canadian range. In the Arctic,' with its long winters, the fox's heavy fur remains Intact for the great er part of the year and is shed rapidly during the short warm spell. Best Fur in Spring Water rodents, namely beaver, nutria and muskrat, put on their best coat of-, fur during these early spring months when the water is coldest: however, the marmot, which hibernates, has its best fur covering in the late fall just prior to Its winter sleep. A hair's life span Is from six months to four years, although a few, such as those in the short tail- of the buffalo, may last a life-time. (The human's, which grows about an inch a month, is replaced every four years which means an average restoral of 90.000 hairs for a red-head, 105,000 for a brunette, and 140, 000 for a blonde.) . Perhaps more than any other one thing, hair has enabled mam mals to develop far beyond their ancestors, the reptiles. Within its shelter of fur, the animal be came warm-blooded assurQg a wider adaptation ' and progres sion.

(IP) The death throes of the Russian satellite, which is five weeks old today, will form what one scientist calls a "blaze of glory" across the sky. Meteorite expert Dr. John S. Rhidehart said the dying Sput nik will make a "great show," streaking perhaps as far as 3,000 miles and trailing light in a great white path, Rhinehart, an assistant direc tor of the Smithsonian Astro physical Observatory, said that, under ideal circumstances, thou sands may see the death plunge And if Sputnik should come down at sunset, "as it very well might," he said, spectacular would be far too mild a word to describe it. "There will be no advance warning of the plummet to earth," Rhinehart said. "Neither do we know where it may land, but there is a good chance it will be on the North American continent." But no matter where or when it falls, Rhinehart said, "it is almost a certainty someone will see it even though it's only a lone person in the far north." Change to RPM .wont cost you dont t-Vr.w.
