OLD OREGON Published by the University of Oregon Alumni Association December 1940 It's remarkable how a little circular fromthe old Alma Mater will stir the memories of 50 years ago. "Shadows peeping, shadows creeping, Shadows cast on memory's wall; Oft concealing, yet revealing Recollections best of all." Very sincerely, E. H. Lauer, '93. (Ed.: Reminiscer Lauer's initial "E"stands for Emanuel. The Alumni he re- counts are Mrs. Jerry E. Bronaugh, '93, The Cover in Words B7 THE EDITOR "Who's Who in America," a family of four children, and the University praises RobertOrmond Case, '20, for fame achieved as a writer of novels and more recently as a civic benefactor. "Bob" and his wife, Lora Evelyn Smith, '20, haveclaimed emotional ties to the campus for a quarter of a century. This fallj the family's equity was increased when daughter Loraentered Oregon. Pledged to Pi Beta Phi, she is an Arts and Let- ters major. Author Case, Texas born in 1895, transferred his allegiancenorthward in 1910, five years later becoming a University stu- dent. World War I disturbed his academic continuity and gradu-ation was postponed until 1920. From Eugene to the Portland Oregonian staff went the graduate. Then to publicity work forthe state of Oregon chamber of commerce. About this time Mrs. Case encouraged her husband to write fiction. He did. His firstattempt was successful and "Little Songhee's Big Trouble" soon appeared in a Western "pulp" magazine. Coupled with these experiences, the writer and his sister, Vic-toria Case, '21, founded a Portland suburban weekly, the Rose City Herald, in 1922, becoming its co-editors. Bob's flair for fic-tion was intensified while running the Sandy boulevard paper. Within a few years the Herald transferred ownership and Robert Ormond Case became known to many throughhis books and novels. Soon he authored stories for the Saturday Evening Post, American, Collier's, Liberty and Country Gentleman, the latter getting his more recent contribu-tions. About a dozen novels with Western and Alaskan settings have emanated from his pen since the twenties. OLD OREGON'S cover reveals a re-cent picture of the Portland writer. Above him hangs a portrait, a scene from his"Wings North" novel which also ran as a serial in the Saturday Evening Post. "Yu-kon Drive" and "Wings North" are consid- ered his best sellers today. With election to the Portland schoolboard this year, Case permitted civic duty to become more than a hobby. With pri-vate office and busy phone he studies at his home the policies of city education,manages the board's radio and publicity committee, works long hours while follow-ing the educational adventures of his chil- dren: Lora, 18: Bob, 14; Anne, 10, andPat, 6. Oregon takes time out to praise an Alumnus who takes little time off while serving his fellow citizens. In the Mail Bag SHADOWS OF '93 Los Angeles, Calif.5211 W. 8th St., Dear Editor: In looking over the folder, "The Univer-sity in 1940," I am impressed by this amaz- ing comparison. The enrollment of studentsin 1940 is greater than the entire population of Eugene was when I attended the U. of O. The present faculty is larger numericallythan the entire student body of my day. While belonging to no fraternity, becausethere were none on the campus, I can lay claim to belonging to a number of "firsts."I helped organize the first college publica- tion, "The Reflector," of which Senator A.E. Reames was the first editor with myself as first business manager. With A. L. Vea-zie, K. K. Kubli and L. T. Harris, I helped organize the first athletic association backin '89 or '90. With dues collected from stu- dent membership and subscriptions fromthe business men of Eugene, we bought Indian clubs, dumbbells, bars and boxinggloves. The top floor of Deady Hall was our gym. Finally the regents built us a gymbuilding on condition that we would donate our $700 worth of apparatus to equip it. I was a member of the committee to se-lect college colors. As I recollect, all the men on the committee wanted crimson orYale blue or a combination of the two, but our only co-ed member, May Dorris Bro-naugh, held out for yellow which she said was the color of the flower of the Oregonwild grapes?and most appropriate. She won the decision. 1628 N. W. 32nd Place. Portland; LawrenceT. Harris, '93,2713 Fairmount, Eugene, for- mer justice of the state supreme court andnow a practicing attorney; Kasper K.

W., Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. Fansett: This evening after returning from theOregon University Alumni reception for Dr. Erb, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Don-ald C. Beeler, I am again reminded of your request regarding my whereabouts andpresent position. The reception by the way was a delightfulaffair attended by some 75 or so Alumni. Among those I met was a very old friendof mine, Dr. Grace Linklater Stone. We at- tended Holladay grade school in Portlandtogether. I resigned my position as state supervisorof distributive education, state board for vo- cational education, last May to accept a po-sition as consultant in the children's bureau, Department of Labor.

OLD OREGON ELMER FANSETT, Alumni Secretary ROY VERNSTROM, Editor Vol. XXII December 1940 No. 4 Alumni Name Nominees By ELMER C. FANSETT, '28 Nasty downpours of rain greeted graduates Fridayevening of Homecoming weekend. The show proceeded without a hitch: "Welcome Home" signs were judgedthrough heaven-washed windows, Freshmen guarded the Skinner's Butte cement "O" with raincoated pro-tection, other students below the Butte defied the ele- ments by continuing the Noise Parade, even the spiritedFrosh-Rook night game was made more interesting with unintentional skids on a muddy gridiron. Saturdaybrought improvement with only occasional showers but enough to make the 18-0 victory over UCLA breathtak-ing. The Alumni reception that evening with its post- lude, Homecoming dance, composed a harmonious finaleto Oregon's annual weekend of weekends for its 1200 re- turning guests. Alumni Secretary Elmer Fansett com-ments in a factual manner on the event.?Ed. Homecoming weekend produced manyfamiliar faces of former students on the campus. With no Oregon State game, thenumber of returning Alumni was not as great as last year, but Chairman Joe Gurleyand his committee put on an outstanding celebration. Appreciated by early arrivals was theFrosh-Rook football game Friday evening when Oregon's yearlings won 13-7. It ishoped future Homecoming weekends will include this annual game. Saturday noon,Order of the "O" undergraduates enter- tained more than 100 Alumni members witha luncheon at the Anchorage?scene of many training tables. Sports stories of otherdays abounded during the hour while Clar- Raymond O. Williams, '14, is Union countyAlumni director, presidential nominee for the Association and La Grande school clerk. ence Codding, ex-'35, acted as toastmaster,according to Jim Rathbun, student presi- dent.Returning celebrants whooped with vigor when Tex Oliver's squad took UCLAand dusky Jackie Robinson to the tune of 18-0. Following the game, graduatestrooped to the Eugene Armory for an open house, the guests of local friends of the Uni-versity. If all the conversations at this oc- casion could be pieced together, one woulddiscover an interesting history of the school since the "days when."New to Homecoming were the depart- mental exhibits organized by Frances Coxand her committee in the lobby of John- son Hall. With little provision made foracademic displays in previous years, the in- augural approval promises a successivelyimportant future. Experimental as it was, the exhibits found favor with many gradu-ates who indicated such should be made an integral part of Homecoming weekends.Hence, we feel justified in promising a much more elaborate series of departmentaldisplays next year. Preluding the Alumni Association meet-ing Saturday morning was the first annual get-together of Oregon's county directors.Well attended, the following directors were present, with Hollis N. Johnston, ex-'21,Portland, acting president: Walter T. Dur- gan, '28, J.D. '31, Benton county; Henry N.Fowler, '14. Deschutes county; Dr. Clairel L. Ogle, '16, Josephine county.Forrest E. Cooper, '27, J.D. '28, Lake; Lawrence Hull, ex-'23, Lincoln; Donald B.McCormick, tx-'32, Multnomah, president of Portland Alumni; Dr. Asa B. Starbuck,M.D. '06, Polk; Charles Erwin, '38, Uma- tilla; Raymond O. Williams, '14, Union;George Stadelman, ex-'3O, Wasco. Six other county directors arrived toolate to attend this meeting but returned in time to see old friends and enjoy the Home-coming events. They were: Merle R. Chess- man, '09, Clatsop; Edwin E. Leslie, '22,Coos; M. Harris Ellsworth, '22, Douglas; Ben F. Dorris, 'IS, Lane; Ralph Cronise,ex-'ll, Linn; Gilbert Schultz, '38, Washing- ton.Time allotted for the meeting of this di- rectorate was too short. Many topics arose for discussion that would require severalmeetings for proper analyzation. Those at- tending considered a program for placingannuals, the Oregana, in each high school library of the state. Business Manager DickWilliams of the Oregana staff represented the student body in explaining such a plan.Already a number of directors have pledged themselves to be responsible for at least fivecopies of the Ail-American book in their own county secondary schools. Your owncounty director would welcome asM^tance in helping to finance such a program. During the Alumni Association meeting,immediately following, the nominating committee announced their findings. Mem-bers of the group included Mrs. Emmet Rathbun, '18. Portland; Carl Nelson, '19,Salem, and Claire Kneeland, '27, Eugene. The nominations placed before the Associa-tion members are Hollis Johnston, ex-'21, Portland, and Raymond O. Williams, '14,La Grande, for president; Chester Knowl- ton, tx-32, Tillamook, and Forrest Cooper,'27, Lakeview, for vice-president. No addi- tional names were nominated from thefloor. Ballots for this election were placed in the mails on December 1. Members of the Association must cast and return these no later than December 25 in order to include their votes in the official election. An- nouncement of the results will be made January 1 in the daily press. Officers elected will take over their duties officially then. Present vice-president Hollis N. Johnston,ex-'21, Portland, was nominated for the next and highest post. He is an architect.

"Tex" Oliver (pictured below) made a football formula vigorously successful November 30 for Oregon's squad over their northern neighbors, Oregon State. Ripped-up goal posts, a Sunday "Victory Special" of the Emerald, Monday morning McArthur court pep assembly, serpentine parade, Gerlinger Hall no-date dance made even the disinterested enthusiastic. Forty-four years of football scrimmage between State and University reveal 24 wins now for Eugene, 13 for Corvallis, seven end- ing in tie. The spell of defeat visited upon us by the Beavers since '36 is broken. A master of understatements would say we are ecstatically jubilant I?Ed. University of Oregon students againwalk the campus with heads high. The rea- son: OREGON 20, OREGON STATE 0!Four successive years Webfoot teams had to take defeat from their Corvallis cous-ins whenever the day for their Civil War rolled around. Finally, this snapped Satur-day, November 30, when a proud, highly confident, third place Oregon State squadfound themselves unable to stop the relent- less power of an inspired Duck eleven?aneleven which was buried deep down in the coast standings. Oregon State's five highly touted all-coast nominees were forced to take a back seat in the limelight glare as Oregon'sgraduating senior men?all nine?played the game of their lives. They couldn't bestopped and knew it. Four years of defeat was awful but five would be unbearable. Senior Len Isberg, left half, scored twotouchdowns and played the best game of his career. His long runs put the Statersin trouble twice and earned him the title of outstanding backfield man on the field.Senior Marsh Stenstrom, fullback, really lived up to his nickname of "Bull." Whenhe hit the line it fell apart. It took two and three men to stop him once he had blastedthrough the line. Mud made no difference to him, he went straight ahead. His block-ing was vicious. Senior Johnny "Buck" Berry, right half,played a brilliant defensive game. His blocking on Isberg's sweeps was a mainfactor in the offensive success of Oregon. He wasn't bad at lugging the ball, either;an average of 7.8 yards in 8 attempts can't be sneezed at. Senior Chet Haliski, quarterback, showed DECEMBER 1940 the 18,000 OSC Homecoming fans the rea-son he's considered the best blocker in coast football. Whenever a Webfoot backfieldman broke loose, nine times out of ten it was this rugged quarterback who led theinterference. Senior Jim Stuart, tackle, made a greatbid for all-American recognition. As cap- tain of the Webfoots he played his greatestgame against the Beavers. An all-coast man last season, he is a cinch to repeat.Senior Krling Jacobsen, center, effective- ly kept the enemy from penetrating his sideof the line. Despite the muddy field, "Jake's" passes were true.Senior Dick Home, end, played his usual steady game for the Ducks. Not muchyardage was gained when the Orange elect- ed to sweep his end.Senior Jim Harris, end, has alternated with Jim Regner most of the year on theright side of the line. Although light, he successfully broke up many plays.Senior Don Mabee, left half, was substi- tuted in the last half for Isberg and did allright for himself in the short time he played. Let's give credit where credit is due. ToCoach Gerald A. "Tex" Oliver for whipping an Oregon ball club into an unbeatable ag-gregation, and to the aforementioned sen- iors, for carrying their team to the mostdecisive Oregon victory over the Beavers since 1916.The Seniors will be missed, but with the hordes of returning lettermen, the finestbackfield material on the coast, and several fine players from this year's Frosh squad,ready to go when the first whistle sounds next fall, Oliver can look forward to the1941 season with glee. Engineer Returns Chatting with fellow undergraduateMarion McClain, '06, manager of the Uni- versity Co-op store, Clifton E. Hickok, ex-'04, recounted the days when tubbing par- ties, furniture moving and other hazingmethods prevailed upon the freshman in the dormitory, now S. H. Friendly Hall.Today senior civil engineer with the na- tional resources planning board, Hickokhas offices in Portland while checking the flood control projects in the WillametteValley. After completing his education (Portland Methodist university, Oregon,California) he served as citv manager of Alameda, Calif. During the World War hewas a captain in the engineers corps, is at present a major in the reserves.Member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, Hickok told of his Oregonschoolmate, Herb G. Moult on, '05, who was elected president of the American Instituteof Mining Engineers a year ago. "Scintil- latingly brilliant" was the phrase Hickokused to describe Moulton, who served on the war industries board with Bernard Bar-uch and became chief examiner for the war finance corporation.Nicknamed "Hickey" in his University days, the civil engineer related how DeanO. F Stafford of the Lower Division was the youthful head of Oregon's chemistrydepartment in 1902, how life was lived by campus folk of 1900. Hickok has a brother,Clarence G. Hickok, Jr., ex-'24, who owns the Scribner's Ink Co. in Portland. Leaving the Co-op store the engineer in-dicated his desire to investigate the second floor of Friendly Hall some day to find hisinitials which he carved on his last day of school in 1902.

C, and vicinity turned out 100 strong to honor Dr. Don- ald M. Erb at a reception given October 28 by Mr. and Mrs. Donald C. Beelar, '28 (Virginia Patterson, '33, M.D. '36), at their home, 5047 Sedgwick St. Many students who knew Dr. Erb whenhe was a professor of economics at Oregon were glad to have the opportunity of see-ing him again and to get a firsthand account of their alma mater from its active head.Others, who met him for the first time, pressed him with many queries regardingtheir old friends and conditions at the Uni- versity. Assisting Mrs. Beelar were Mrs. DavidG. Wilson, Mrs. John W. Halderman, Mrs. John H. King, Mrs. Roger J. Bounds, andMrs. Harry R. Turkel who poured and Mrs. Edward Fisher who assisted about therooms.

Manhattan Graduates Meet Classes from '97 to '40 were representedat an Alumni dinner meeting in New York City, October 30, according to John M.MacGregor, '23, prominent Manhattan at- torney. Inspiration for a turnout of 66 Ore-gonians at the Town Hall club was the presence of President Donald M. Erb. Dr. Erb addressed the meeting in an "in-formal conversational vein and delighted all those present with his report concern-ing the progress of the University. His thoughtfulness in telling the Alumni oftheir friends who remain on the faculty was especially well received, although a note ofsadness was given to this by the informa- tion concerning the resignation or deceaseof some of the older faculty members." During the dinner, those attending wereinformed the next Alumni get-together would be December 14, night of theMadison Square Garden appearance for Coach "Hobby" Hobson's basketball team.Through good fortune, Mr. and Mrs. Don- ald Woodward, '27 (Lillian Boker, ex-'25),of Portland were in New York during the celebration and attended.

Pages OLD OREGON Hobson's Men Travel East By BRUCE HAMBY, ex-'34 The University of Oregon will seek tomaintain its top ranking among the na- tion's basketball leaders with another col-orful, fast-stepping court aggregation this season. After three seasons at the top of thenorthern division, Pacific Coast Confer- ence, Howard Hobson's Webfoots slippedto second place last year as a sophomore lineup slumped in midseason. This year four of the five 1939-40 regu-lars are back, plus five experienced reserves and talented, if green, sophomore material.The Webfoots appear to be well supplied with height, speed and shooting ability?prime requisites of the spectacular fast- break offense which has made Oregonbasketball famous from coast to coast un- der Hobson's guidance. John Dick, high-scoring all-coast for-ward, is the lone missing regular. Matt Pavalunas, guard, and Ted Sarpola, for-ward, both used as relief men in the past campaign, also completed their eligibilitylast winter. PRESENT PERSONNEL Back for this season are four holdoverregulars?Hank Anderson, forward; Ar- chie Marshik, center, and Vic Townsendand Paul Jackson, guards. Returning re- serves include George "Porky" Andrews,guard; Earl Sandness, forward; Evert "Red" McNeely, forward; Bill Borcher,center, and Toivo Piippo, guard. Andrews, Sandness and McNeely are lettermen.Here is a position-by-position sketch of Webfoot personnel:FORWARDS: Anderson, a 6 foot 7 inch sharpshooter, is one of the most spectacularshot-makers in the business. He won a reg- ular berth midway in the 1939-40 season andwas one of the league's most potent scorers. "Colorful, fast-stepping" is Oregon's 1940-41 edition of Hobson basketball says Ath- letic News Bureau Director Bruce Harnby,ex-'34, in this double-spread on a sport for which Oregon is famed. Evert "Red" McNeely, a two-year letterwinner, is one of the steadiest and most pol- ished performers on the squad. Earl Sandness, 6 foot 4 inch senior, wona letter as a member of the 1939 national champions as a relief forward or centerand filled the same assignment last season. Leonard Gard, another unorthodox shot,was held out of competition last year. He was high scorer for the 1939 freshman five.Warren Taylor, rugged 6 foot 5 inch sophomore, is the cream of the new for-ward aspirants. Fast and a good shot, Tay- lor has the makings of a great player andmay become a regular this season. Ralph Ruhrman and Quentin Sidesinger,who alternated as Taylor's running mate for the freshmen last year, are two morepromising sophomores. Both measure 6 feet 3 inches and are strong scoring threats. TALL CENTERS CENTERS: Marshik, 6 foot 7 inch Bo-hemian lad, is the most experienced of a trio of center candidates. Marshik belies anawkward appearance on the court with sur- prising agility and is a strong defensiveplayer. Bill Borcher, measuring 6 feet 5 inches,filled a reserve pivot role last year and may do the same this season. Like Marshik heis big and active. Tallest of the centers?and the tallesthoopster on the Pacific coast?is Wally Borrevik, 6 foot %l/i inch sophomore. Bor-revik, who paced the freshmen last year, has all the qualifications of a great pivotman, except experience. GUARDS: Vic Townsend, a senior,broke in the Oregon lineup last year di- rectly after transferring from a Californiajunior college?one of the few transfers ever to do so. He is one of the cleverestback court men in the West, both defens- ively and as a scorer. Great ball-handler. Paul Jackson, only 5 feet 7 inches, wasboth the midget and the sparkplug of the Oregon team last year. He is one of thefastest players in the league and a potent point-maker. George "Porky" Andrews won his firstletter last year as a reserve but this sea- son shows indications of becoming a regu-lar. He is very fast and a good shot. The fourth veteran guard is Toivo Piippo,Finnish lad from Astoria, who has devel- oped greatly after his sophomore year. Hisactions are a great deal like those of Town- send, whom he usually spells. Best bet among the sophomore guards (Continued on page 10) Basketball Coach "Hobby" Hobson, '26,with his 1939 National Championship Hoopmen.

Coaching Record Recalled Howard A. "Hobby" Hobson, '26, startshis sixth year as University of Oregon head basketball coach with a truly brilliantcoaching record already behind him. Hobson has been coaching for twelveyears and in that time his basketball teams have won 251 games and lost only 82 for anall-time winning percentage of .754?three victories in every four games played. Forthe past five years, since taking over at Ore- gon, his Webfoot quintets have won 111games and lost only 45, a .711 percentage. His Oregon teams have twice won north-ern division, Pacific Coast Conference championships and two years ago also wonboth the Pacific Coast and National Colle- giate title. OUTSTANDING ATHLETE Hobson's first taste of coaching was in1926 after he completed an outstanding ath- letic career of his own at Oregon. He wascaptain and all-star choice for two straight years in both basketball and baseball. His first coaching assignment was at Kel-so, Wash., high school. After two successful seasons there he dropped out of the gameto attend Columbia university and earn his master's degree in physical education. While attending Columbia Hobsonplayed basketball with the Montclair Ath- letic club in the Eastern Athletic league andled the team in scoring. He also played second base with the Brooklyn Bushwicksin 1929. The year of 1929-30 Hobson was head football and baseball coach at Cort-land State Teachers' college in New York state. Returning to the West coast, Hobsonwas named basketball coach at Benson Polytechnic in Portland, where he producedtwo city championship teams. His showing there won him the coaching post at South-ern Oregon College of Education in 1933. At the Ashland, Ore., school his hoop teamswon 68 and lost only 15 games in three years of competition with larger coast schools, in-cluding Oregon and Oregon State college. He was elected head basketball and base-ball coach at Oregon in 1936, succeeding William J. "Bill" Reinhart, now at GeorgeWashington. His five years at Eugene have seen Webfoot teams rise to top nationalranking. His first court team finished fourth in thenorthern division but the second season saw him pilot a sophomore outfit to a tiefor the northern crown. In 1937-38 the Webfoots won the northern championshipoutright, only to lose to Hank Luisetti & Co. of Stanford in a hard-fought series forthe Pacific coast title. GREATEST TEAM His 1938-39 team is unanimously regard-ed as the greatest ever developed in the Pacific Northwest. It swept to the northerndivision title with only two setbacks in 16 games. California was defeated in twostraight games for the coast championship and in the following ten days the Webfootsthumped Texas, Oklahoma and Ohio State to become the first officially recognized na-tional collegiate champions. Last vear, with only one regular backfrom that championship team, Hobson moulded a colorful, fast-moving quintetthat lost out for title honors only in the final series of the year. Hobson not only has produced outstand-ing teams but equally outstanding individ- ual performers at Oregon. Three membersof the 1938-39 team were given all-Amer- ican rating?Laddie Gale, forward; Urgel"Slim" Wintermute, center, and Captain Bob Anet, guard. Last season Captain JohnDick, forward and center, was an all-Amer- ican selection and Vic Townsend, sopho-more guard, won all-conference rating. Oregon's baseball fortunes also have risenunder Hobson's guidance with two cham- pionships in five years. A large number ofhis diamond proteges have risen to pro- fessional ranks, eight in the past two years. In the Mail Bag (Continued from inside front cover)known as the "Grapes of Wrath" commit- tee.

THE STYLE OF PLAY Oregon will continue to feature the blaz-ing fast-break offense used so successfully the past five years. Webfoot offensive tac-tics, in a nutshell, are to beat the defense back down court for a quick shot at thebasket before opposing players can get set. When this is not possible the Webfootsestablish fast-moving set plays. Success of this spectacular offense is shown in the 49-point-per-game average maintained for three years in 98 games, played before 420,-000 spectators. On the defense Oregon employs eithera man-to-man or shifting zone, adapting the defense to the particular offensive threatof the opponents. Oregon will play a 30-game schedule thisyear, 16 games in regular conference play.

SHELDON This is the story of a whole host of Mr. Chips. A series of epochal struggles. You who think you know your University will be amazed, amused and informed, when you have read this "human document." It is literally a panorama of "human vignettes." The chapter on Colonel John Leader and the war years of 1917 and 18, is itself worth the price of this unusual book. And WHO, we ask, is better qualified to write about the school we love so dearly, than our own revered Dr. Henry (Shelly) Sheldon? From the turn of the century Dr. Sheldon has been a moving and dynamic spirit behind the scenes, as well as in the class room. He has served under five college presidents, has seen the student body grow from four hundred to nearly four thousand. He has known personally nearly all the men and women who contributed most generously to the promulga- tion of learning and culture. His story of the University is something far more than a history; it is the stirring saga of pioneer folk creating for themselves and posterity a shrine, dedicated to a magnificent idea?"mens agatat molem."
