physical exams and on August
22 they pose for publicity pic­
tures at "Picture Day.”
Coach Dee Andros, who is
starting his 7th season at OSU
with a record of never having
experienced a losing campaign,
is counting on some 39 hold­
over lettermen and a large group
of sophomores.
The Beavers open at Athens,
GA against the University of
Georgia. The home opener is
at Corvallis on September 18,
a week later,when the Beavers
take on the University of Iowa

annual “Kiwanis Kids Day”
game.

latter is recovering from wrist
bone surgery, and his status is
indefinite. Even if completely
healed, he faces tough compe­
tition from Kilmartln, who
finished last year as No. 1
and had a good spring session.
Grocers have been given a list
of serial numbers on the bogus
coupons recovered, and cau­
tioned to be on the lookout for
other counterfeits with different
numbers.
Attempts to pass face coupons
should be reported to the nearest
food stamp office of USDA’s
Food and Nutrition Service, or to
the U.S. Secret Service office
in Portland.
