August-September oreoon i Bird in '54 See Page 2 SIMPLE AND EFFICIENT?The Bell Solar Battery is made of thin, specially treated strips of silicon, an ingredient of common sand. Needs no fuel other than light. Should theoretically last indefinitely, since it has no moving parts and nothing is consumed. New Bell Solar Battery Converts Sun's Rays Into Electricity Bell Telephone Laboratories demonstrate new device for using power from the sun Croat and kindly is the sun. Each day it bathes the earth in light, bring- ing life to everything on earth. Scientists have long reached for the secret of the sun. For they have known that it sends us nearly as much energy daily as is contained in all known re- serves of coal, oil and uranium. If this energy could be put to use there would be enough to turn every wheel and light every lamp that man- kind would ever need. Now the dream of the ages is closer to realization. For out of the Bell Tele- phone Laboratories has come the Bell Solar Battery ? a device to convert energy from the sun directly and efficiently into usable amounts of electricity. Though much development remains to be done, this new battery gives a glimpse of future progress in many fields. Its use with transistors (also in- vented at Bell Laboratories) offers far-reaching opportunities for improve- ments and economies in telephone service. A small Bell Solar Battery has shown that it can send voices over telephone wires and operate low-power radio transmitters. Made to cover a square yard, it can deliver enough power from the sun to light an ordinary reading lamp. Great benefits for telephone users and for all mankind will come from this forward step in harnessing the limitless power of the sun. BELL TELEPHONE SYSTEM To and From /"\RE(i()N alumni who knew Paul J. ^^Deutschmann '40 from campus days or from his two years as editor of OLD ORI:- (,ON will miss him while he takes a year's leave to work on his doctorate at Stanford. But his friends will be glad to hear of honors which were accorded him in July at the national conference of the American Alum- ni Council at Biloxi, Mississippi. Judged "top college alumni publication in the Pacific Northwest" were last year's issues of OLD OREGON, under his direction. An article in this "To and From" column, about "open spaces on the campus and in the mind." also received a third place award in the "editorial comment" category. The Association took other honors at the AAC meeting, too. For the second straight year, its gadget-type membership renewal letters were named first in the direct mail competition. The series of five letters used this year also received mention in the Re- porter of Direct Mail Advertising, a trade publication. Last year's series walked off with top awards in the "Best of Industry" contest sponsored by the Direct Mail Ad- vertising Association of America, as well as in the American Alumni Council compe- tition. Both letter series were originated by Alumni Director Les Anderson '43, who represented the University at the AAC meet- ing this year. TT seems we're really starting something with the story in this issue on yell kings of the past. It begins a series of six stories on the friends you'll remember as Big Men on Campus?and Big Women on Campus? from your undergraduate days. We found a speedy and generous response from many former Yell Kings we queried; our only fear is that some letters may have gone astray with wrong addresses, or that some answers may arrive too late. If they do, though, we'll use them in a special catch-up story next time. The way it's planned now, former student body presidents will be reviewed in the October-November issue. Later we'll scan the lists of Homecoming Queens and Dad's Day Hostesses, with those young men who have been chosen King of Hearts; Betty Coeds and Joe Colleges; Junior Weekend Queens, and editors of the Emerald for years past. A TTEMPTING to follow along in Paul Deutschmann's capably-drawn paths, we will echo his thoughts of a couple of years ago on the statement a new editor makes on how he, or she, plans to handle things. "The goal of OLD OREGON will be, as it has been, to give you an interesting re- port on what is happening on the campus, and what is happening to you?the alumni." We'll repeat, too, his invitation for letters and notes of news, suggestions, or ideas. In other words, "Like to hear from you some- time."?D. S.

SABINE (Faculty) August-September 1954 National Grid Writers Rate the Oregon Duck A Pretty Tough Bird He flies through the ail with the greatest of ease . . Webfoot Walt Gaffney is back this season to provide more thrills and spills like this one in the 1953 Oregon-USC game. in 1954 At Quarterback . . . George Shaw By Art Litchman Director, Athletic News Bureau will Oregon's football fortunes be this fall? The answer to this very interesting question varies with the person who is doing the talking. Football writers who make a business of studying the gridiron possibilities of the nation's leading teams each summer, for national publications, generally rate the Oregon Duck a pretty lough bird in 195)4. The estimates of Webfoot strength range from an ambitious 11th in the country by one expert (Stanley Woodward) to fourth in the Pacific Coast Conference by another. The remainder put the Ducks somewhere between these two extremes. Oregon's official athletic family ? coaches, players, etc.?join alumni and friends of the team in hoping for a success- championship. Handling any one. or a com- bination, of these three teams is a pretty- fair Saturday afternoon's work without ful season. How successful it will be is even considering the seven other opponents dependent on a good many factors which are, and always have been, unpredictable: Game luck, injuries, and so on. The Ducks generally are bracketed, in the pie-season estimates of the PCC race. who will be after Oregon's grid scalp dur- ing the fall. Speaking of opponents, Oregon's sched- ule again is divided half and half between road and home games. The Ducks open with California, UCLA and Southern Cali- against Idaho Sept. 18 at Moscow; play fornia as major threats in the race for the Stanford in a night game at Portland on August-September 1954 3 Sept. 25, then go to Hayward Field for an intersectional tussle with Utah on Oct. 2. The gridmen will travel to Berkeley, Cali- fornia, on Oct. 9 before making their sec- ond Multnomah Stadium appearance against Southern California on Oct. 16. They'll face San Jose at Eugene on Oct. 23, then go to Washington State on Oct. 30 and to Los Angeles for the UCLA game on Nov. 6. The Webfoot team will be back in Eugene for the Homecoming Game with Washington State on Nov. 13, and will close their scheduled season in Corvallis with the annual Oregon State game, Nov. 20. One of the highlights of the schedule is the Southern California game on Oct. 16. Not only will it mark the continuation of a fine football rivalry, but it has been se- lected by the NCAA for the national TV "Game of the Week" series. This is the sec- ond straight year Oregon has been so honored?the Ducks played Nebraska at Lincoln last fall?and it is the first time a Northern Division school has (1) been selected two years in a row and (2) been chosen to present a home game. The Ducks remain the only northern team to appear on the series. Returning to the original point, how will Oregon fare this fall? The man who is best The snap by Center Ron Pheister .. . to Halfback Dick James qualified to offer an opinion, Coach Len Casanova, has some very definite ideas on the subject. "We should be stronger than a year ago," Coach Casanova says, "and while we have some serious problems to solve* our out- look is better than it has been in any of my previous three seasons at Oregon." "The line, tackle to tackle," the Webfoot coach continues, "is one of our basic strengths. We have all of our regulars back in these positions with the exception of Ken Sweitzer at left guard, and we have added enough sophomores and transfers to adequately replace the others who have graduated in these positions." Turning to the backfield, Coach Casa- nova rates it good, but not as deep in reserve strength as the middle line. "We have one of the country's finest football players in George Shaw; there are a number of vet- erans back in the halfback and fullback spots, and we hope the sophomores will contribute considerably to our backfield positions," he adds. "Our problems start with the ends and the fullback positions," Coach Casanova says, "and continue with a lack of experi- enced depth at some other positions. We hope to solve the end situation partially by shifting Harold Reeve, who has done a won- derful job at tackle, for a try as a wingman, and have hopes that Lettermen Larry Rose and Dean Van Leuven, along with sopho- more Jasper McGee, can give us the punch and blocking we need at fullback." "We hope we can produce a more con- sistent attack this fall," the Duck boss con- cludes, "and at the same time maintain the fine defense we had last year. If we do, it could be an enjoyable season for the play- ers, the Oregon fans and certainly the coaching staff." Each fall a number of familiar names are missing from the lineup and there are those who appear in varsity competition for the first time. Oregon lost some fine com- petitors through graduation and other rea- sons; Coach Casanova is highly hopeful that the sophomores will do an adequate job of replacing them. The losses included Capt. Emery Barnes, John Reed, Len Berrie, Tom Elliott and Ben Johnson at end; Chuck Laird at tackle; Doyle Higdon, Don Hedgepeth, George Mutschler and Sweitzer at guard; Barney Holland at quarterback; Ted Anderson and Farrell Albright at halfback, and Cece Hodges at fullback. The majority completed their collegiate competition, but a tragic dynamite explo- sion cost Higdon, the fine junior from Cot- tage Grove who doubled as a javelin thrower for the track team, his life in mid- August. The other unscheduled losses were Albright, who earned a place in the dental school a year ahead of schedule, and Reed and Mutschler, who both decided to accept jobs and will not return for their remain- ing competition. The backbone of the returning squad will be made up of 18 lettermen, three of whom Old Oregon Immovable object . . . Guard Jack Patera earned their letters in seasons prior to 1953. Shaw, Jack Patera, Hal Reeve and Captain Ron Pheister, all Oregon prep products, will be playing their fourth varsity seasons. Other regulars from last year include Dick Mobley at right end, Keith Tucker at right tackle, Dick James at left half, Walt Gaffney at right half and Van Leuven and Rose, who shared the fullback job with Hodges. Harry Johnson and Lon Stiner, the sec- ond unit tackles a year ago; Dave Lowe, Pheister's replacement; and Chuck Green- ley and Jerry Nelson of the second club, complete the list of 1953 lettermen who will be on hand. Lloyd Powell, halfback, and Don Holt, quarterback, both lettered in 1952, and Leroy Campbell, the 1951 offensive right end, is back after two years in service to complete the total of 18 lettermen. There are two transfers at guard posi- tions: Dick Yecny of Fresno JC and Jim Potter of Menlo JC demonstrated in spring practice they may help considerably this fall. Sophomore Phil McHugh of Portland's Central Catholic High has made a .success- ful shift from fullback to end, and has been joined by Steve Danchock of Ruseburg and Bill Moore of The Dalles. Rookie tackles include Charlie Austin of Bend and Jim Laughton of Portland. The top guards are Don Jacobs of Med- ford, Reanous Cochran of Coos Bay and Gerald Dixon of Wallowa. New center is Spike Hillstrom. one-time Coos Bay full- back. The new backs are one of the real bright spots, with Tom Crabtrce of Coos Bay, the Dick Smith scholarship winner, and Hank Loumena of Millbrae, Calif., at halfback, and McGee at fullback. Eugene's Wally Russell of the 1951 squad, just back from the service, and Johnny Keller of Portland, a 1952 Duckling, will be sophomore quar- terbacks this fall. A position-by-position breakdown of the squad as it prepares for the opener with Idaho follows: ENDS: Mobley, a regular, and Greenley are the only 1953 lettermen, with Camp- bell back for his first season of non-platoon football. The success of Reeve, switched from tackle, could be the key at this posi- tion. McHugh is a top prospect and the other wingmen will be Ted Overton, who did not play last year; Moore, Danchock and Nick Marculis and Gene Carpenter, both up from the Ducklings. TACKLES: Tucker, Johnson and Stiner are all top-flight veterans and Lowe moves over from center. Austin is regarded as an outstanding prospect and Laughton joins him in moving up from the frosh. GUARDS: Patera is one of the PCCs best. Potter has made a strong bid for a first team position and there will be ample competition from Yecny and Nelson, who was out of eight games with injuries last season. Jacobs, Cochran and Dixson all come up from the Ducklings. CENTER: Pheister was all-coast last season and rates with the nation's best. Art Weber, a non-letterman last season, and Hillstrom will form the reserve strength. QUARTERBACK: Shaw was the only unanimous all-PCC choice last year. Rus- sell and Keller, along with Holt, will battle it out for the job of spelling the brilliant Oregon all-America candidate. Moved to end . . . Hal Reeve HALFBACKS: James and Gaffney oper- ated as regulars last season and both were outstanding on both offense and defense. Both, however, will get stiff competition from Crabtree. Powell, Loumena and a pair of non-lettermen from 1953, John Woyat and Dick Pavlat. FULLBACK: Van Leuven and Rose are the veterans with McGee scheduled to make a strong bid for the starting job. This is one of the key positions in the Ducks' drive for a successful season. Lettermen's Lounge Progresses For Oregon lettermen?past, present and future?the "promised land" drew nearer this month in the planning of Athletic Di- rector Leo Harris. In a letter to former Webfoot athletes, Harris announced that a lettermen's lounge and trophy room are included in the blue- prints for revamping of McArthur Court, which now is under way. Construction will be started when offices housing the athletic business and ticket offices can be relocated. The new lounge will be built into the business offices and may be ready for use late in the 1954-55 school year, Harris said. The lounge will be for both alumni and current Webfoot lettermen. Tentative plans call for the installation of a radio and TV set, a small kitchenette, and a movie screen for showing Oregon sports films. In addition to the social features of the proposed addition, there will be hundreds of pictures of past Oregon teams and in- dividual players, and many trophies won by Webfoot teams in various sports. Harris has asked all lettermen to help the athletic staff in choosing a name for the new lounge. The principal point of discus- sion is whether the room should be named in honor of a former Oregon coach or player, as were Hayward and Howe Fields, or simply "Lettermen's Lounge." August-September 1954 This Year's Statement of Finances Shows Oregon's Athletics Still in tke Blacl By Don Tacheron '55 Oregon's athletic department is still oper- ating firmly in the black. Leo Harris, Webfoot athletic director, has released an estimated financial state- ment which shows a profit of $69,437.25 for the past fiscal year. This is the fourth report the athletic de- partment has given through OLD OREGON to make its financial condition available to alumni. "I'm glad to say we were able to operate at a profit again last year," Harris said. "and hope we will be able to continue in the same manner. We have built up suf- ficient reserves to be able to pay about $285,000 for the improvements to McArthur Court?2,000 extra balcony seats?and feel quite proud we could do this with money earned by the department." The Pacific Coast Conference was again the major provider on the profit side of the ledger. The Oregon share of PCC revenues was $79,699.39 with the profit figure of $78,947.48, an increase of about $30,000 over 1952-53. This item includes the Oregon-Nebraska nationally televised grid game, radio and TV rights from other football games, from basketball and from the Rose Bowl, and a share of gate receipts from the Rose Bowl. Football and basketball also showed a profit on gate receipts, with the gridders taking in $9,853.41 more than they spent on a total figure of $151,488.86. Basketball drew $48,773.20 in ticket money with a profit of $7,078.70 for the year. Another major source of income is a general heading which includes program revenues and concession profits. After ac- tivities of the Rally Squad and expenses of running concessions and printing programs had been deducted, there was still $8,031.86 left on hand. A slight drop in enrollment during the past year was reflected in a reduced income from fees, with a lower balance of $5,535.37 in this category. Last year, the balance after administrative expenses of the department had been deducted was more than $13,000. Special events, such as the appearance of the Globetrotters, again contributed a profit: $4,339.33 to the overall balance. Baseball and track, never big "gate" at- tractions, took losses of more than $13,000 despite championship teams. The other four sports?swimming, golf, tennis and wres- tling?are non-revenue activities and were operated at a loss of $6,450.03. The steady program of improvement in Duck athletic facilities, outstanding for the past seven years, continued in 1953-54 with the building of the second section of the new baseball bleachers at a cost of $8,841.- 95.

Old Oregon liiUgcne, Oregon Before the Kickoff Pre-Game Parties Again Planned in Portland The popular Friday night pre-game par- ties sponsored by the Portland Alumni Association will again be held at the Rose Bowl of the Multnomah Hotel this fall. Two Portland football games provide the back- drop for the parties, one on September 24 prior to the Stanford game and another on October 16 before the nationally-televised Oregon-Southern California tussle. Chairman for both parties will be Wil- liam R. Bradshaw "43. assistant trust officer at the United States National Bank of Port- land. Bradshaw will be assisted by Presi- dent Julian R. (Bob) Smith '30 and the board of directors for the Portland alumni group. A custom begun in 1952 will be renewed again this year, with alumni from both Ore- gon and Stanford convening together for the pre-game affair. More than 600 attended the joint gathering two years ago. The parties are open to all alumni, their guests, and friends of the University. An- nouncements will be mailed with football tickets, and further details will appear in the Portland papers. The parties have drawn more than 800 on several occasions, and never has attendance fallen below the 500 mark. A short program with appearances by President O. Meredith Wilson and Football Coach Len Casanova will be featured at the Oregon-Stanford get-together. Music by an orchestra will accompany dancing and the singing of Oregon songs. "With the interest in Oregon's fine team this year and the tradition of these parties, we expect an unusually large turnout this year." predicted Bradshaw. "Alumni in the Portland vicinity will find these parties the best way to renew campus acquaintances and participate in the spirited backing of our football team." Basketball Trip Oregon's basketball team is currently in the midst of a pioneering tour of the Far East, playing 21 games under the spon- sorship of ^ven basketball associations. It is certainly the longest trip ever taken by a Webfoot athletic team and probably would rank as the most exciting. Before the Ducks return to Eugene they will have played in Japan, Formosa, Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea and the Philippine Islands. Originally the squad was to have made a trip through South America this sum- August-September 1954 Bill Bradshaw '43 is chairman of the Port- land Alumni Association's pre-game parties. mer, but the plans were cancelled when sponsoring parties found it impossible to arrange necessary guarantees in several of the countries. Then the idea of the Far Eastern trip was suggested by Northwest Airlines. With- in one month Athletic Director Leo Harris and Coach Bill Borcher were able to make all the arrangements concerning passports, schedule and financial plans, and reas- semble the team. Nine players, Coach Borcher and J. Orville Lindstrom, Univer- sity business manager, began the tour Au- gust 6. The players are Jerry Ross, Max Ander- son and Capt. Ken Wegner of Portland; Howard Page and Barney Holland of Coos Bay; Bob Hawes of Bend, Ray Bell of Klamath Falls, Gary McManus of Baker and Kent Dorwin of Oakland, California. Ed Halberg could not make the trip because of business commitments. The Webfoots played their opener of the tour on August 9 at Seoul, Korea, after flying from Eugene by way of Seattle; Vancouver, B.C., and Tokyo. The full schedule includes the following dates: Au- gust 9-10-11. Seoul. Korea; August 14-15, Taipeh, Formosa; August 16-17-18, Ma- nila; August 20, Hong Kong; August 21 and 23, Bankok, Thailand; August 24-25- 27-28, Singapore; August 29, Ifunp Kong; Aii-iiisl 30-31, Manila; September 2-4-5, Tokyo, with one game at either Kobe or Osaka. The team returns home on Septem- ber 8. Advance notice was sent to Oregon alum- ni in the Far East and many are expected to greet the team in their particular areas and to attend the games. A photo report on the completed trip will be made in the next issue of OLD OREGON. Lowell Honored Ronald J. Lowell '54 of Klamath Falls will he presented with the Thomas Arkle Clark honor award at the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity congress at Atlanta. Ga., this month. The award marks him as the ATO undergraduate of the year. A pre-med major, Lowell maintained an almost straight "A" average. He wears the keys of Phi Beta Kappa and Phi Eta Sigma. In his junior year he was awarded the K<>\] Cup. Lowell held Standard Oil scholarships for four years; in his junior year, he was chosen outstanding student in the state of Oregon, and rep?esented his state at the 57th Congress of American Industry in New York. He won the Van De Velde prize given each year to the outstanding student in Spanish at Oregon, and the $1,000 MacKenzie scholarship for his last year of pre-med work. He holds a scholar- ship to the University of Oregon Medical School in Portland, where he will begin work for an M.D. degree this fall. Lowell played Varsity tennis for three years and captained the team in his senior year. He was a member of the Order of the O. Druids, Friars and Asklepiads. He was president of ATO and won the Emerald trophy as "outstanding athlete." Discovers Artifacts Dr. L. S. Cressman, head of the Depart- ment of Anthropology, and five young areheologists working under His direction have uncovered a variety of early Indian artifacts on a site five miles east of The Dalles. The site, one of the most interesting and challenging he has yet seen. Dr. Cressman said, covers a long period in the earl\ history of Indian tribes, including not only those living along the Columbia River but others from a wide area who came as traders. Already discovered articles include arrowheads, sinkers for fishing use and many hones. This was the third consecutive year of work in an area which later will be inun- dated by the poo] created by The Dalles dam, now under construction. Dr. Cressman has said that the earliest life in the area, as recorded at the site, may have existed as long as 10.000 years ago. Remember Them?? Yell Kings of the Past Rooting for the team is an activity that's been indulged in by generations of Oregon students; the yell kings of undergraduate days are likely to be among the most vividly remembered acquaintances of Oregon grad- uates. Jf ith this story on several yell kings of the past, OLD OREGON begins a series of stories on the "Wheels" of yesteryear. These, then, are some of the men who spent part of their rooting days on the short end of a megaphone represented by Tom Gabies '56, right. OBERT H. WARNER 29, is general manager of Station KMON in Great Falls, Montana. He's been in radio for the past nine years, after "a fairly long stint" in newspaper advertising. He notes that his family?including five boys and one girl? enjoy Montana, although "there is an occa- sional longing, on my part at least, for the timbered slopes of the West Coast, and even the rain that was an integral part of every Eugene-staged homecoming." Robert H. Warner '29 The late twenties were rather lean years in the fortunes of Oregon athletic en- deavors, '28 Yell King Bob Warner recalls, but "there was always the Oregon fight." He especially remembers a riot after an Oregon-OAC game in Eugene, and still has a letter from the then president of the Uni- versity, Arnold Bennett Hall, commenting upon the efforts which the cheering staff exerted in putting down the riot. "OAC had just returned from New York, where they had acquired a national reputa- tion, the habit of wearing derbies?and the idea of the visitors* tearing down the goal- posts of the other team. "The OAC cheerleaders and I had agreed that the victors would serenade the losers; nothing was said about the goalposts and so as we held our rooters in the stands to be serenaded and the Oregon fans watched the Aggies winding their way to the goal- posts, there were ominous rumblings. "Finally hosts of Oregon men started spilling out of the stands to protect their goalposts. I'd manage, with the help of Harold Krlley and another friend, to stop one group of war-bent rooters to find that another score had leaked out from another place. Finally our entire section was on the field and it seemed there were a dozen whole-hearted fights going at once. "Never a tall person, I was at a distinct handicap in trying to edge my way through the spectators at each fight. Finally a law student took me on his shoulders and we made our way around the field until I could persuade our rooters to return to the stands and the OAC leaders could get their group to go on with the serenade. "Obviously I was not very popular in any quarter and I was glad when the serenade was finally accepted and we all left the stands." Warner also remembers his rally squad's job as building up enthusiasm beforehand, then "preserving that enthusiasm for the game itself in the hope some of it might spill over on such athletes as Jens Tergu- son. Bob Mautz, John Kitzmiller, Swede Westergren, Jerry Gunther, Gord Ridings, Swede Okerberg, Ted Gillenwater and Hobby Hobson." He particularly remem- bers the difficulties of leading yells in the student-packed Armory of pre-Igloo days: "About two feet of space for each yell leader." Old Oregon 'TXm HAZZARD JR. '48. is now presi- dent of T. H. Hazzard Inc.. the "family contracting firm." He has been president of the Southern Duck Club and vice president of the area Alumni Association. He and his wife, the former Barbara Jean Eagleson '48. live at 14151 Chandler Boulevard, Van Nuys. California, with their two sons, Tom III and Donald, and small daughter Carol Ann. Hazzard served as frosh cheerleader and assistant cheerleader under Earle Rus- sell in 1941 and 1942 before spending "the next several years of my career" in the Air Force. But he was back at Oregon in 1946. and claims "many fond and amusing mem- ories" of the days that followed, when he was yell king in 1947. "The psychologists might have considered us neurotic veterans, but we didn't realize it. We were having a wonderful time " On one memorable invasion of Seattle, he recalls. "The Huskies kidnapped our rally girls, clobbered me, stole our Ore- gon banner and beat our team." He remem- bers a very wet afternoon in Corvallis, with the rooting section, relatively dry under the covered stands, chanting, "Take off that raincoat" at him. ("It wasn't enough that I was standing up to my knees in mud!" he adds.) And once, while visiting the Wash- ington State cheering section in Pullman, "I stepped up to the mike and called them 'Huskies' by mistake. Fortunately it was snowing heavily that day, and I escaped." His rally activities were not forgotten. Tom Hazzard Jr. '48 and his wife, the former Barbara Eagleson '48, with Tom III and Donald. Hazzard remembers, when he was "per- forming as one of Bill Hayward's less tal- ented distance men." It seems that "When I passed the bleachers?usually all by my- self about a half a lap behind?I was sa- luted with locomotives, split sixes and spell outs." Another high point of Hazzard's college days was a trip with Al Pietschman to Bill Hayward's home on the McKenzie. to re- cord his speech to the team for "Win for Bill" day. "Just before the game, Jim Aiken had us play the recording to the team. It had a tremendous effect, and Bill got his win. "He died a few days later. His pall- bearers were the same athletes who had given him his last winning game." T AWRENCE E. (SQUEAK) PARKS '30, did five years' active duty as a Reserve Army officer with the Civilian Conservation Corps in Oregon forests after graduation. After two years with the Oregon Unemploy- ment Compensation Commission, he went on active duty with the Army.

"During these 24 years since college, I have met literally hundreds of Oregon peo- ple all over the world who remember me as 'Squeak' from my days of yell leading at school," the '29 yell king says. "I never miss the Oregon games up here, of course, and usually get to come back to Eugene for a Homecoming once in a while, or to see a football game. "I have always considered my experience as a yell leader at Oregon as important as any other single factor of my college days I recommend yell leading, rally com- Johnny Backlund '50 mittee work and such, to those students who are seeking an extracurricular activity on the campus, as well worth the time and effort, and productive of results useful in life after school is over." JOHNNY BACKLUND '50, is in the man- *? agement training program at the J. C. Penney Company in Eugene. He recalls a highlight of the year 1947-48 when he was yell king: "The rally squad and band went down for the Stanford game; the band sere- naded their rooting section, and we led them in a yell and even put on a jitterbug act. Oregon won the game." Backlund also remembers the Homecom- ing game that year with OSC?to counter- act the black and orange leaflets on "Beat Oregon," the squad came up with a yell described by Sportswriter Don McLeod in the Oregonian: "There was the usual good- natured ribbing between the rival rooters and the smartest chant of the matinee boomed from the Oregon bleachers. Spurred by their yell king, the Duck stu- dents started out with a vocal salute to the visitors shouting 'Black and orange. Black and orange. Black and orange,' then ended the cheer with a low throated 'B?0.' " Like other yell kings. Backlund has vivid memories of the rally squad with which he worked: Bill O'Hearn and Jack Country- man, yell dukes, and Donna Stageburg and Shirley McCarton, rally girls, all from Eu- gene; and rally girls Sylvia Branden, The Dalles; Annie Bennett, Coos Bay; and Jane Daggett and Katie Yashan, both of Portland. August-September 1954 Jim Crismon '52 TIM CRISMON "52. yell king in 1950, has ?^ been working on the advertising staff of the Klamath Falls Herald and News since returning from the service in January 1952. He sells and writes display advertising. A member of the Junior Chamber of Com- merce and the Elks lodge, he has written and published the Elks monthly paper for the last year. "When you mentioned 'Old yell leaders' as your story subject, you weren't far from wrong. Just giving thought to the old con- tortions on Hayward Field and in the Igloo makes the old bones ache. Wouldn't mind giving it the old college try just once more, I keep telling myself, but my body says T> ON SMYIONS '52, has been working as a "money lender"- -or mortgage Joan representative?for Travelers Insur- ance Company since getting out of the Navy in March, and says his business major and real estate minor work at Oregon are coming in handy. "Looking back to 1950-51 and yell king days always brings to mind Oregon spirit at football and basketball games, as well as the rallies and parades which preceded most of them. Aside from the excitement, the fun and 'rah-rah' spirit, there was the busi- ness of timing and selection of yells to give maximum inspiration to the players. Many times a player would later remark?as did Monte Brethour?that though he would not always hear a yell during a play, he was aware of positive inspiration from the yell. "Dr. Paul S. Dull commented that year on yells as 'ancient atonal festivities.' Evi- dently people have been yelling for a long time?at or with someone." Ron Symons '52 Cy Newman '52 f^Y NEWMAN '52, is a solicitor for the ^ Guardsman Insurance Agency in Pasa- dena. He. his wife, the former LaNelle Gay '52, and their two-year-old son Gay live at 310 Ruby, Balboa Island, California. His most vivid remembrance of the year he was yell king is Oregon's game with California at Berkeley, when Cal was rated one of the best in the country. "We took the whole rally squad down in private cars and saw what was almost the biggest upset in football. Oregon just wouldn't take any note of how big the Cal Bear was and com- menced to match them, touchdown for touchdown. If I remember right, the final score was 28-26 in their favor, as we muffed two conversions." "I remember asking one of their letter- men on the sidelines, 'When are you going to put in your first string?' He smiled and very quietly said that they had their first string in now, and had had for the entire game." Lenz Hettick LE\Z '54. Bill Hettick "56. and Tom Gaines '56, all served as yell kings for 1953-54. Dick Janik '56, and Earle Culbertson '56 were the other two members of the new five-king squad. Lenz worked for Safeway Stores in Ore- gon City after graduating in June. He re- ported to Lackland AFB in San Antonio, Texas, August 19 and is scheduled for ten months of flight training in Harlingen, Texas. The people he met and the activities of the rally team are vivid recollections of yell king days, Lenz recalls. "Such people as Ray Hawk and Cy Ellingson, the yell teams and student body officers of other northwestern colleges and universities" stand out, he says, and "the members of our rally team were the finest people I have ever had the pleasure of working with." Gaines worked for two Portland frozen food companies this summer. "I'll always remember every game and rally I yelled; each has a special significance," he says. He thinks that work and co-operation will mean a winning season for the Ducks this year, and envisions "Oregon winning in the Rose Bowl come New Year's Day." Hettick made a cruise through Canada this summer with friends, getting in some deep sea fishing and diving. Of yell king days, he says, "It is always great to watch an audience try to transfer its stamina to a weary football team?just by yelling."

An enthusiastic sportsman, he was fond of guns, hunting dogs, and horses. He had lived for many years in a large brick house on East 22nd near Potter Street. He is survived by a brother, Dr. Samuel Boyer of Duluth, Minn., and a sister, Mrs. Frederick Eaton, Orlando, Fla. Physicist Dies Dr. Albert E. Caswell, retired head of the University physics department, died June 18 at a Eugene hospital. He was 70 years old. Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Dr. Caswell received his scholastic degrees from Stanford University. After teaching at Stanford for three years, he went to Purdue in 1911. He came to Oregon in 1913 as an instructor in physics. He was affiliated with the University continuously thereafter, except for two years at Oregon State College, 1932-34, and the war years, when he was on leave of absence for research. He be- came department head in 1934. In 1949, after retiring, he did radiation research for the Air Force. Dr. Caswell was active in church work. In 1948 he was named chairman of the committee on the Bible in schools for the Oregon Council of Churches; he was a director of the council in 1949. His other civic activities included mem- bership in the Round Table and the Kiwanis Club. The first president of the state chapter of Sigma Xi, Dr. Caswell also was a member of many professional organizations. He is survived by his wife; a daughter, Mrs. Miriam Chaffee '40; three sons, John Caswell '34, Dwight Caswell '43 and Randall Caswell '45, and 11 grandchildren. Dr. H. R. Taylor Passes Dr. Howard R. Taylor, member of the University faculty since 1925 and longtime head of the Department of Psychology, died July 18 in Eugene. Born in Franklin, Nebraska, he had long been active both in University affairs and in com- munity life in Eugene. He had been for many years a member of the Eugene Water and Elec- tric Board. Dr. Taylor received his baccalaureate degree at Pacific University in Oregon and his master's and doctor's degrees from Stanford University. He came to the University of Oregon as an assist- ant professor and was made a full professor in 1930. In 1934 he was made department head. He resigned as head of the department in June, 1953, in order to devote full time to academic work. He is survived by his wife and a daughter, Frances Jean. 20 Old Oregon mitm !??? ? ????????>? ??????????? Eugene Public Librar Eugene, Oregon ,...??.?.....???
