tempt to knock off its third
"Big Five" opponent in track
this season when the Beavers
entertain the University of

next Saturday.
Coach Sam Bell's thinelads
already have swamped both
Stanford and Washington of
the "Big Five" conference
which also Includes USC and
UCLA, not on the OSC sched
ule this spring.
The Beavers lost a 79-51
dual test to powerful Oregon
last week end, but there were
plenty of points for encourage
ment for the losers. Oregon
State fell down badly in both
hurdles races and in the mile
and two mile. 1
Belt was deeply pleased
with the performance of soph
omore Dale Story in the mile,
Only able to work out the
nast two weeks because of
muscle pull. Story ran the
event in 4:08.6 Saturday
against Oregon. It didn't even
win a point in the star-studded
field, but was the fastest time
ever for ait Oregon Stater in
that event. And it served no
tice for the future.
Coming as a mild surprise
to everyone but Bell was Jer
ry Betas' first in the pole vault.
In clearing 14-0, Betz upset
both Phil Paqum and Darl
McAllister of the Ducks. Ore
gon State's flashy 440 ace,
Norm Monroe, turned in one
of the best marks in the na
tion this spring when he cov

Hawaii, newest addition to
the Pacific Coast league, is off :
to a fast start. The rest of
the league was to try to catch :
up today, '
The Islanders entertained
an opening day crowd of 6,041
by edging Vancouver, 4-3,
Thursday night in Honolulu.
The see-saw battle was de
cided in the ninth when big
league veteran Chuck Harmon
singled home Bobby Prescott
from second with the winning
run.
Most of the contest was a
pitchers duel between Ha
waii s Dave rmes and trie
Mounties ' Noel Mickelsen.
Fred Baczewski took over in
the ninth for the tiring Mick
elsen and managed to pick
up the loss.
Thief Winner
Thies went all the way to
win a six-hitter.
Homers played a big part
In the early scoring. Hawaii
grabbed a 3-1 lead in the sixth
when Ray Jablonski, the pow
er guy for the island nine,
bashed a two-run homer into
the left field stands.
Vancouver knotted the score
in the top of the eighth when
Frank Torre and Howie Goss
connected with solo round
trippers. This set the stage
for Prescott and Harmon's
one-two punch in the ninth
to finish off the Mounties.
Two of the league's best
test each other tonight when
Spokane comes calling on Ta
coma. Seattle visits San Diego,
another high-rated outfit, for
day-night twin bill. Salt

TRUTH
The concept of the word:
truth is one that originates:
in the fond belief that a thing, i
or fact, can be viewed by roan
and be seen as unchaneine.
It is interesting to observe
that In tile realm of the Amer
ican sport of fishing, the truth
can prove to be so elusive
that one could truthfully say
that it doesn't exist!
FISHERMAN
The reason for this state of
affairs it caused by e change
la men who change their way
of life for e short period every
spring. By putting on some
old clothes, gelling up at mid-
mgtji, sitting all day In a
boat holding a fishing pole
while rain end snow find all
the cracks In the armor of old
clothes, these men-become-
fishermen are able to speak in
aiTange leagues and Its see
wlih eyes that have become
magnifiers. Their stories make
no sense, is a sensible person,
and the things ihay have ex
perienced are ail large and
very strong. One has but to
witness the huge gestures used
to illustrate their stories in
order to believe this.
AH ILLNESS
The illness which causes
these symptoms Is called
"Fishing Fever" and is found
only In those who get a slight
case every spring that soon
clears up during the summer.
Those of us who fish aii year
are somehow Immune to the
epidemic and rarely show any
symptoms like those just de
scribed. As a matter of fact,
it's too bad that the fever
occurs because it tends to give
a bad name to the sport of
fishing. Serious fishermen ac
tually pride themselves on
their honesty and would feel
badly if they Were thought of
as stretching the truth. It's
these beginners who tell ali
the stories, but there are so;
many of them that the serious :
fisherman has a hard time:
finding anybody who will be-:
lieve his stories. And they are '.
tiie truth! '!
