However, Slat is sure to take another good look at these boys before deciding whether to hold all or several of them out until next season. An extra year of maturity wouldn't hurt any of them and might result in substantially greater benefit for the team. At this stage it definitely looks like a battle between Washington State and Ore­ gon State for the ND crown thi winter. The Cougars have breezed through their ea rly tests with a terrific display of power that confirms the rumors floating about that Jack Friel has assembled his strongest team in years. Idaho also shows much potential while Oregon has not been impressive in its early games. Four of Oregon State's first five games are against WSC, so the pennant race could very easily be decided in the initial three weeks of league play. After opening against the Cougars at Corvalli s on January 3 and +, the Beavers take on Oregon in a single game at Corvallis on January 13 before tak­ ing off for the Palouse country and a re­ turn match with Friel's aces. Football Almost Ancient History Now The 1949 football season will be almost ancient history by the time this copy of the Oregon Stater reaches you, but we would like to add a few comments to the amaz­ ingly successful campaign which saw Kip Taylor guide his squad to seven victories in 10 starts. As a result of the club's great stretch drive, which resulted in four straight victories over top-notch clubs, more than one scribe has suggested Kip for "Coach of the Year" honors. The Michigan State victory was thrilling and great, but the decisive 20-lei victory over Oregon in the Ducks' own backyard was even more satisfying. All those who saw the game will tell you that it could very easily have been about 3+ to 0 or 3-that was how one-sided the affair was. Of course, Oregon's lone score came as a result CAN HE fill Crandall's shoes? Bob Payne, flashy transfer from San Francisco Junior College.

1949 Was Another Good Year for Telephone Users

MORE SERVICE FOR MORE PEOPLE-Nearly 2,000,000 telephones were added to the Bell System in 1949. This meant service not only for many people who did not have a telephone before but it also increased the value and usefulness of your own particular telephone. You can call many more people ­

and many more can call you. There are now more than 50o/0 more Bell telephones than at the end of the war.

"These specifications adde d up to just one career . .. "

I WENT from the University of T ennessee directly into the Army. And after the war ended, a lot of serious thinking convinced me that the life work I wanted to follow would have to offer three things: First, a business of my own, preferably one dealing with people I'd enjoy serving; second, a business that would provide genuine personal satisfaction as well as a living, and third, one that would increase my income in direct proportion to my ability and willing­ ness to work. These specifications added up to just one career­ life insurance. The next step was to choose a com­ pany. So I talked with nine different organizations, and out of this survey three factors emerged to help me decide on the New England Mutual. The first fac tor was the caliber of ew England's men here in Memphis. The second was the company's out­ standing training program, and th~ third, the recom­ mendations of several successful"Dusincss men. So, in February, 1946, I joined ew England Mutual. During my first year I completed two ex­ acting training courses and sold a creditable volume of life insurance. Trips to company meetings intro­ duced me to the company's friendly and able nation­ wide organization, increased my proficiency, and added greatly to the enjoyment I get out of my work. Now, thanks to the knowledge of the business I h ave acquired, I am getting solid satisfaction out of serving a steadily growing clientele, and am earning considerably more than I could have earned else­ where on a salary.
