Early last week, wild with joy over their second football victory over Oregon in two years, Oregon Staters danced in Corvallis streets all Sunday night. After dawn, 1,500 of them cut classes in a body, piled onto the running boards, fenders, hoods and roofs of automobiles, set out for a crowing carnival in Eugene, 40 miles away.

Workmen inched the completed 230-ton tank out of the Kellogg shop and onto two of the ten longest (55-ft.) flatcars in the world.
