An d in that time something very definit ehas been proved-in fact, two thing s have been proved . First : that th e people of the state are decidedly an doverwhelmingly against tampering with the state s educational institu- tions. That was proved by the tre-mendous majority that was piled u p against the Zorn-Macpherson bill las t November. And secondly : that th ealumni of the University want an d like and read OLD OREGON .* * * Our alumni association has in th epast been a strong and vigorous or- ganization with excellent leadership . Its members have manifested a desir ethat a strong organization be main- tained, as have the people of the stat eexpressed their faith in the Univer- sity, and desire to see it continued an d improved. This can and will be done ,although the alumni office has not no w the resources of former years, makin g the task of administering the affairs o fthe alumni a hard one indeed . But, be all that as it may, we ar e reminded of the statement used so ex-tensively during the political campaign , to the effect that a University is no tmerely buildings of sticks and stones , nor can it be moved and pushed abou tlike a hot dog stand, but it is somethin g intangible and transcendent . May w etake .the liberty of making an analogy and stating that neither is an alumn iassociation a matter of yearly incom e and office force, hut something mor e vital-expressed in love for one salma mater, in interest in one class - mates, and in regard for the ideals o f education. Perhaps that is a queer statemen t for an alumni secretary to make . Looks somewhat as though we did no tneed money at all, but could live o n love-so to speak . But any reasonabl eperson will realize that to continue t o love one s alma maker one must kee pin touch with what is happening there ; and to be interested in one s class -mates one must know what and ho w they are doing ; and to maintain ideal sfor education one must be kept i n touch with educational progress . S oapparently, alumni dues will continu e to come in from year to year-becaus e University graduates are, after all ,reasonable people. Nevertheless, to come back to ou r point, with this issue we are glad t o restore OLD OREcoN as has been de-manded by literally hundreds of Ore- gon alumni who have expressed th ewish to see their magazine resumed . It is a task we enjoy and we will b eno end thankful f or suggestions .

Published by khe University of Orego Alumni Associatio Vol. XIV March, 1933 No. 9 Lets Play Football at Hom e We need something to give Northwest football a ne w lease on life, and Mr . Brown, who led the alumni figh t against the school moving bill and had ample opportun- ity to sound out alumni opinion, believes that a separat e Northwest conference, as for other sports, is the solution By ALEXANDER G . BROWN, 2 IN THIS period of economic readjust-ment critical attention is being give n to many things which we have hereto - fore taken for granted and it is to b enoticed among sport writers of th e Pacific Northwest, alumni of college sand universities and football fans tha t the value of the Pacific Coast Inter -collegiate conference to northern team s is being weighed . I heard much criticism of the con-ference last summer and fall whil e visiting University alumni in variou s parts of the state, and the recentl ycommented upon suggestion that Ore- gon State college withdraw from th econference and play an independen tschedule has brought the matter be - fore many who had not thought of i tbefore . A s NEARLY as I can determine, ther eis but one argument for the pres- ent conference and that is the hope o fevery northern team that they wil l draw a big gate in California and thu sbe able to finance their athletic pro -gram . Considering some of the argument s against the conference, the followin gstand out, in m y opinion, in import-ance. The coast confer-ence is a one spor t conference, foot -ball, with participa- tion by norther n schools in othe rsports restricted t o their natural field .The conference i s a geographic mon- strosity . There is a smuch sense in Mon- tana and Idaho be-ing in the same con- ference as Souther n California and U .C . L . A . as there would be for Oregon and Oregon Stat e to be in the Missouri Valley confer-ence or the University of Chicago an d Northwestern being in the Souther nconference . Climatic conditions an dsudden changes in climate have take n their toll of northern teams year afte r year, but they keep coming on fo rmore. The lure of big money . The present conference is killin gfootball interest in the Pacific North - west . As . one Oregon alumnus sai dto me just recently, "We never ge t to see these southern teams up here ,they won come, yet before the sea - son is well under way our norther nteams have gone south and taken it o n the chin and are out of the running ." RADUATEmanagers are learning a lot of things now and one of the mis that there are few pots of gold at th e south end of the rainbow for north -ern teams to find . Concluding the summary argument sagainst the conference, one of the mos timportant items is the fact that th e California teams dominate it, say whe nand where they will play the norther n teams and maintain the step-child atti-tude toward the northern schools . HE NORTHWEST conference exist s now in all sports except football .Include Gonzaga in the conference an d probably eliminate Montana and we o fthe Pacific Northwest could have a good six-team fairly evenly matche d conference with Washington, Wash-ington State, Gonzaga, Idaho, Orego n State and Oregon . By the simple pro -gram of home and home games on a 50-50 split of the gate and a regulatio nthat each team m .ust play at least fou r other conference members each year ,football would come into its own . This would leave the northern team sfree to play on e With Northwest teams playing the majority of their games at home where loya lfans would flock to the "home" stadiums, football in the Pacific Northwest coul d soon come into its own, and pictures like the above of Multnomah stadium woul d become a weekly occurrence during football season . or more souther n games-if they desir-ed, but they woul d be intersectiona lgames . It is contende dthat Washingto n and Washingto nState would no t join such a confer - ence as they ar egood drawing card s in the south . The yare, right now, bu t the question is whether they wil lbe in a year or two . By the simple ulti- matum to Washing -ton and Washing - ton State that they 4 OLD OREGON March 3 join up or the other colleges and uni- versities of the conference not onl y will not meet them in football but wil l not compete with them in any othe r sport would accomplish the desired end . They can 't go south for all their ath- letic competition . Further, no one know s definitely that these schools would no t be only to anxious to join. No school in the coast conferenc e should have the right to say who the y will play and who they will not . Th e schedule should be drawn by a com- missioner and that should end that . As it is now the northern schools ar e the tail of the kite . We may have t o trim down the size of the kite, bu t lets have our own . There is no basis for the cry fro m the south that they would be left hig h and dry by such action . If they ar e so stranded it would be because the y wanted to be stranded . With Sant a Clara, St . Mary 's and the fast comin g University of San Francisco availabl e there is plenty of room for a Califor- nia conference . The California teams, by arbitraril y deciding which northern team they wil l or will not play and where and whe n with the where four times out of fiv e being in California, have been takin g pot shots at the goose that layed th e golden egg of gate receipts for som e time. They have wounded it and it i s high time the goose had sense enoug h to get out of range . A northern or northwest conferenc e would provide fans a group of game s that would be "naturals ." Spokane i s a good football town if given a chanc e to see some football . With Gonzag a in the league and games with Wash- ington State and Idaho on the slat e that meant something Spokane woul d respond . Qregon and Washington an d Oregon and Oregon State are tw o"naturals ." Oregon State and Wash- ington State should be . The confer- ence has possibilities . By restrictions in coaching staffs , a uniform system of "scholarships, " or what ever name assistance to athlete s is carried on under at the various schools, low travelling expense, n o drastic climatic changes, no long, wear y trips and a sectional interest the north - conference can save football for th e northern schools . Last month I had occasion to tal k to an Oregon alumnus now living i n California and pretty much a "nativ e son ." In the good old days, he re - marked, it was the fashion to go to a football game every Saturday after - noon and he always went to see one o f the northern schools when it played . "Now we are picking our games, " he said . "We have to trim our fashio n to fit our purse and we only get t o take in a couple of `good ' games in - stead of going to them all ." This attitude was to be noticed thi s year in the south and there is ever y indication that it will be of more im- portance next year . The time has come for graduat e managers and athletic committees o f the northern schools to quit playin g rabbit and get out and assert them - selves. Let 's act right now . Miner Building Given to the University T HE W . E . MINER building of Eu-gene, an eight-story structure lo- cated in the heart of the business dis- trict on Broadway between Oak an d Pearl streets, has been placed in trus t as an endowment for the school o f business administration of the Univer- sity of Oregon by its owners, W . E . and H . T . Miner . The building i s eight stories in height and occupies a lot 60 by 160 feet . An adjoining anne x of two stories, was made a part of th e gift . The building, which cost approxi- mately $300,000 when it was erecte d in 1924, will he continued as an offic e and business building . The Universit y will not immediately realize any reve- nue from the structure, hut after tw o or three years will have coming suffici- ent funds to begin the work under th e endowment, which provides for a chai r of real estate and insurance and fo r research work . A portion of the in - come at present will go to the Mine r brothers and heirs to amortize the in - cumbrances now against the property . Eventually the entire income, esti- mated at $15,000 annually, will all b e available for the school of business, t o be used in teaching and research i n real estate, insurance and municipa l problems . The chair of real estate and insur- ance will be held by C . L . Kelly, pro- fessor of business administration, who Above, C. Lyle Kelly, who will ad -minister the endowment, and below, W. E. Miner and H . Miner, donors with the owners worked out the detail s of the transaction . Mr . Kelly will als o manage the building for the Securit y Savings and Trust company of Port - land, which is trustee for the endow- ment . The project has been approve d by Chancellor W . J . Kerr and the stat e board of higher education . The Miner brothers came -to Eugen e from Wisconsin in 1923, where the y had disposed of their extensive timbe r and real estate holdings . They invest- ed in the building, seeing in Eugen e and the surrounding country an are a of promise for the future . For sev- eral years they have shown a keen in- terest in real estate and allied subject s in the school of business, and hav e made the gift in the interests of a department of higher education whic h they wish to see developed in th e future . H . V . Hoyt, dean of the school o f business administration, has expresse d the appreciation of his school for th e generous endowment . "Real estate i s one of the largest businesses in th e state, " he said, "and there is a grea t need for research in this field . Th e endowment will enable the institutio n to pioneer in the study of real estat e problems, and to train young men t o enter the field with adequate prepara- tion . I see far reaching possibilitie s as a result of the generosity of thes e two citizens of Eugene ." March, 1933 OLD OREGON 5 Alumni in and About The State Hous e Instead of realizing that this "biennialrecital" by him i s an OLD OREGON tradition, Writer Young prefers to thin k that Oregon alumni tire of his delectable style and flaw - less reporting. OK, Writer Young, let's see what the y have to say concerning your "capsules . By F . Ia . YOUNG, i O K, EDITOR ALLEN, here is a catch-as-catch-can account of Univer- sity of Oregon alumni in and aroun d the 1933 spasm of the legislativ ebranch of Oregon s state government .It may be all right with you, Mr . Editor, but we are not unmindful o fthe fact that readers of revived OL D OREGON might like to have this bien-nial recital dished up by someone else , in a different sort of capsule, so t ospeak. But orders are orders . An d may OLD OREGONS circulation not de - crease due to this repetition of author -ship. O NE THING is decidedly easy abou tthis yarn. The number of Univer- sity graduates in the 1933 Orego n legislature is considerably less than i nprevious sessions . The number o falumni in the lobby as lobbyists and i n the two houses as employees, is severa l notches higher than heretofor eWhether this fluctuation and shift i sdue to the political tides or due chiefl y to economic times, w ell not attempt t o say with certainty . The bare fact re - mains - vouched for by yours truly ,whose attendance at five sessions sinc e 1923 gives him some basis on which t oweigh the facts . Well, suppose we begin at the begin-ning : In the senate, of course, the dean o fUniversity alumni is George W . Dunn,86, who represents Jackson county , that fertile feudal spot of Oregon, fo r the sixth consecutive session . Wa y back in 1895 and 1897 Senator Dunn ,of serious mien and stalwart posture ,represented the same county in Ore- gon lower house .Fred E . Kiddie, 7, is president o fthe senate, a veteran lawmaker in tha tsenior body, representing Morrow ,Umatilla, and Union counties for th e fourth successive session . Fred pre - sides with aplomb, using a gavel speci - ally made for him by the Orego nFeeble Minded school, and seem s headed for further political honors an dresponsibilities in his native state . Then there is Walter S . Fisher, 13,of Roseburg, where they grow prune s but don elect them to the legislature . Walter sat over in the house for fou r terms, but last fall walloped the tar ou tof that county s veteran senator . Thi s meant that Walter and Ethel Tooz eFisher, ex- 15, turned to the right in - stead of to the left in the capitol lobby .Allan A . Bynon, ex- 17, defied (b ythe skin of his molars) the Roosevel- tian landslide, so became one of Mult-nomah county five senators . Allan i son several important committees, ha s blossomed into quite a phrase-maker , and employs one of the two or threebest looking stenographers in the sen- ate. The babe in legislative experience ,but not in ripeness of years in th e chamber of perpetual oratory, is Sen-ator Joel C . Booth of Lebanon, wh orepresents Lane and Linn countie s jointly . He strode across the U . of O . commencement platform in 1898 . A World war vet, banker ; leading physi-cian and surgeon, and belongs to agreat string of fraternal orders . T HE. FOREGOING are the campu sgraduates in the senate . But thos e who can write a U . of O . law schoo l degree after their names include Sen-ator Ashby C . Dickson (not Ash -ley C . Dixon of KFJR), Multnoma h county, law 5 ; Senator Henry L . Hess, Union and Wallowa counties ,law 4 ; and finally that rock-ribbe dfriend of the University, Jay Upton ,law 2 . Senator Upton s jack-pin e and jackrabbit district of Crook, De-schutes, Jefferson, Klamath and Lak ecounties would make him a princel ypotentate if political power were deter - mined by square miles in this common -wealth. In employed senate positions ther e is Miss Eleanor Lewis, ex-2, secre - Fred E . Kiddie, 17, president of the Oregon senate . tary to Senator Goss ; Harold Clifford ,ex-09, who once flung a fast ball dow n the groove where the commerce an dlaw schools now stand, is clerk of th e Judiciary committee for Senator Up -ton; "Jack" Elliott, 7, of Salem, is a n assistant sergeant-at-arms . N ow LET us elbow our way aroun dthe circular rotunda, with it s steady inflow of "third-house" alumni , and see what s what and who who i n the house . The heavy sprinkling o falumni members simply isn t to b e found this year . Conversely, of th efirst four names on the rollcall, thre e onetime were loyal (and still are) t o the Orange and Black .The first Simon-pure alumnus on th ehouse roster is none other than Charle s A. "Shy " Huntington, 24, in person . "Shy" took his first fling at politic s last year, and whatta fling it turne dout to be . Heaven s knows, his line -bucking ability is a handy asset no w that he has been bucking assessmen t and taxation problems as a committe emember for six weeks or more .Chairman of one of the three prin- cipal house committees, the taxatio n and revenue group that must solve th eriddle of acceptable new taxes, is El -win A . McCornack, ex-8, who als orepresents Lane county, He is a sopho- more in legislative rank, and grandso n of that educational patriarch and note dgeologist, Dr . Thomas Condon .Dean H . Walker, 13, represent sPolk county and the Oregon Ho pGrowersassociation . Yep, Dean can t be accused of impeding the return o fthat sudsey brew . He is lending abroad shoulder to the problem of get- 6 OLD OREGON March, 193 ting beer out of the basement . For th eyounger sophisticated generation, Dea n was once dean of men at the U, hea d of the department of physical educa- tion, a great half back and coach o r social secretary or something for tha tbasketball team that won the coas t championship a few years ago-whic h is something to remember in view o fthe present catastrophe . Yes-sir, that is a rather skimpy lis tcompared with the number of gradu- ates in former legislatures-and cer- tainly anemic alongside of the man ystate college alumni in the house . But , of course, now it doesn matter . W eare all brothers under the skin, and the schools fortunes are ladled fro mone big pot-which certainly has bee n riotously deflated this year .In passing, purely in passing, per- mit us this one remark . Despite th efact that both gentlemen whose name s were attached to a certain school-jug-gling bill of 1932 A . D., are frequentl y in the lobby, one a great deal mor ethan the other (perhaps due to fon d memories of membership), not asqueak or twit-twit have we hear d about consolidating the University an d otherwise saving gosh-awful sums of money to the taxpayers .Law school graduates in the hous e are : Richard Deich, 0, Portland ; Fred W . Herman, 14, Rainier ; E . C . Kelly, 7, Medford ; E . J . McAlear ,Hillsboro ; J . K . Weatherford, Jr ., ex - 0, Albany ; a group that makes up i n quality what it lacks in quantity .None other but J . Rodney Keating ,8, leads the list of alumni on th estates payroll in the lower house . Hi s black curls that once flashed aroun dHayward field s cinders are no wtouched slightly with gray . His waist - line no longer has a distance runner sprofile . Yet in spite of these sligh thandicaps, Rodney set sail one da y last December for assistant chief cler k of the house, and won under wraps .His work organizing county taxpaye rgroups against the Zorn-Macpherso n bill was superb, and his activity amon g alumni during the same campaign wa snot to be sneezed at . Miss Anna DeWitt, 26, president o f the Associated Women her senior year ,is secretary to Representative Graham ,Portland . Herbert Jonas, ex-0, Ore- gon boy councilman and Prinevill enewspaperman, was an assistant ser- geant-at-arms early in the session . Donald Weed, ex- 34, varsity boxer, is ,holding his full-term assistant serge- ant-at-arms job with enthusiasm an d pep. Marie Nelson, ex-3, is secretar y to Dr . Best, Pendleton . Mrs . Elino rWyers, ex- 27, is serving as her hus-band secretary in spite of cripplin g effects of a had automobile accident late in December . Cecil Chrisman, ex -7, The Dalles, is attached to hi s father, Levi Chrisman, as clerk . Har-old Blackburn, 2, served a week o r two as assistant sergeant-at-arms . Among the lobbyists or "thir dhouse" members, many Universit y alumni have appeared at Salem . Chie famong these has been Homer Angell , 0, present alumni president, who ,among other matters, has kept an ey e on the joint ways and means committe e treatment of the higher educatio nbudget for the state board . Clarenc e Ash, 4, was part of a strong lobb y that worked successfully against th ebill to further regulate the Columbi a river bar and river pilots . Ash is a ba r pilot at Astoria . ENGINEERED by John MacGrego rand master - of - ceremonied b y Judge Walter H . Evans, the annua ldinner of the University of Orego n alumni in New York was held Febru- ary 2 at the Town Hall club . The speakers of the evening wer e"those present," and each one tol d what he had been doing since leavin g the University . Between stories o fwho-met-who on the mill-race the in- ception and subsequent defeat of th e Zorn-Macpherson bill was discussed .Appreciation was expressed to Dr .

New York Alumni Hold Dinner March, 1933 OLD OREGON 7 Education and Legislation The writer, who has been in constant touch with the educational situation at Salem, sees grave danger in th e making of further inroads on educational appropria- tions, and views with concern the ejjects of the depres- sion on the resultant efficiency of our state institutions . By HOMER D . ANGELL, 0 President, Oregon Alumni Associatio T HE DEPRESSION into which we hav ebeen dumped, has put to the tes t our social standards and the system o f government we have built up throug h the ages . As a result, the Thirty-sev-enth Legislative assembly just closed , has been confronted with problems fo rsolution, testing the abilities of it s membership . Tax reduction, unem-ployment relief, reforms in the bank- ing and commercial structure of ou r government have taken the forefron t of the stage .The taxpayer, almost engulfed wit h the burden of fixed bonded indebted-ness of myriads of taxing bodies, ac - cumulated through years of prosperity , has revolted against additional ta x levies forever increasing governmenta lactivities . The tax problem has bee n intensified by the army of the unem-ployed and the shrinkage of income s from gainful employment and the los s in property values subject to taxation .As a result, the ways and means com- mittee, and the legislature, has cut th e legislative appropriation from the gen-eral fund for the biennium 1933-34 t o an aggregate of $5,562,256 .00, a reduc- tion of $4,190,792 .00 from the appro-priation for the 1931-32 biennium , which was $9,755,048 .00. T HIS commIrrEE has endeavored t ofollow the mandate of the peopl e to reduce the cost of government dras- tically . It has adopted and applied asalary reduction schedule to state em- ployees on a sliding scale of 5% t o 30% . It has curtailed activities, and i nsome instances discontinued them en- tirely . To accomplish this drastic re-duction, many activities must suffer , and in some instances injustice will re-sult. In keeping with this program of re-trenchment, the appropriations for th e state board of higher education fo rmaintaining the University, the medi- cal school, the college and the nor-mal schools, has suffered a reductio n in the millage and continuing appropri- ations of $575,000 .00, taken from th erevenues for the year 1934 . The insti- tutions of higher learning, from th e outset, have been ready and willing t o accept their full quota of reduction i noperating revenues made necessary b y the exigencies of the depression . Thi scut of $575,000 could be absorbe d without crippling any of the schools, were it not for the fact that deep cut s have already been made in their reve- nues, and other losses will come dur-ing the biennium . Without this cut , the institutions are operating on a budget 20% below that of the year s 1921-22. HE BUDGET for 1931-32 was re - duced $1,181,000 .00 from the pre - ceding biennium . In addition to thi sreduction, there was a further los s from the shrinkage of the millage bas eand lessened student fees and tuition . Without the reduction imposed by th elegislative assembly, the reductions o f revenue from the normal income o f1929-30 is approximately 35%, an d with the reduction in addition o f$575,000 .00 imposed by the legislature , the total approximates 46% under th enormal income of 1929-30 . In addition to these reductions i nhigher education support, it : is esti- mated by our tax authorities that th eassessment roll for the coming yea r will be reduced at least 15% by th eshrinkage in tax values, owing to th e Homer D. Angell, 0, presidenof the Alumni association, who sees a deep significance ineducation as one check against the ill effects of thedepression. depression. This will mean a furthe rreduction of 15% in the operatin g revenues for the educational institu-tions. The millage levy for 1931-3 2 was $4,396,990 .00. A 15% loss there -from would he $659,548 .50. It is a t once apparent that if this shrinkage i n the millage takes place, the schools wil l be confronted with a most seriou s problem.These facts and computation s demonstrate beyond peradventure tha t the higher educational institutions ar eassuming their full quota of the bur - den of the depression . In fact, the yhave taken deeper cuts in their reve- nues than any other major state de- partment. T HE BOARD of higher education be -fore the ways and means com- mittee adopted its salary reductio nprogram, had put into effect a salar y reduction of 9% to 27% . The reduc- tion of $575,000 .00 in the board in -come is based on the original salar y reduction scale of 5% to 50% adopte dby the ways and means committee . This scale was later abandoned by th e committee and the lower scale of 5 % to 30% adopted . Notwithstanding this ,the cut in education was left undis- turbed, and some $200,000 taken fro mthe budget to cover salary reduction s above the reduction required on th e5% to 30% scale adopted by the com- mittee. In fact, the educational depart-ment is the only one whose budget wa s reduced on the basis of 5% to 50 %salary scale . There are issues involved in highe reducation confronting our people o f deeper significance than mere budgets ,tax reductions or operating costs . I n providing for the functions of govern- ment and the perpetuation of organ-ized society, the development of char- acter, the training of our youth, im- planting in the youth of today the tru eideals of American citizenship, are o f more transcendent importance than th e mere protection of property rights, fo r these are factors having to do with th every life of government itself . Thi s depression is not one merely of eco-nomic values, properties and material 8 OLD OREGON March, 193 things, but it is making deep inroad s in the character values, standards o f conduct and of living, and of moral stamina of our citizenry . The vast numbers of the youth of our land i n unemployed idleness, tramping the countryside, are a greater menace t o the well-being of American institu - tions and ideals than the loss and fail- ure of our banking, industrial an d business enterprises. It is imperativ e we strengthen our institutions of learn- ing that they may cope with this in- creased burden on their facilities . We have in Oregon, immense in - vestments in our schools in spiritual values, morale and capital, whic h should be conserved from the inroad s of the depression, which sooner o r later will pass . When it does, we should have our schools with thei r foundations and superstructure unim- paired, ready for the work of trainin g our youth for useful citizenship .

But the old "Ore- gon fight" was there, despite discouragement, as always . By ROY CRAFT ; 3 a IV THE success of a basketball team i sto be judged solely by wins an d losses, Oregon's 1933 season was th e most disastrous in it s history . If the success of a team is to be judge d by the amount of spirit, loyalty an d fight displayed by th e squad and its follow- ers, the Webfoots ' season'just closed wa s one of its most suc- cessful . A winning season i s no test of either loy- alty or fighting spirit , for anybody can wi n gracefully . The rea l outfit is the one tha t can "take it," an d bounce right up of f the canvas for more . Oregon won onl y two games in the con- ference season, but the team and it s coach, Bill Reinhart, proved once agai n that Oregon spirit can be magnificent , even when it 's flat on its back . At the start of the conference sea - son, the coach, the players and th e fans felt confident Oregon would plac e well up in the standings . The Web - foots had just returned from a barn - storming trip through San Francisc o and northern California and had wo n from many outstanding collegiate an d independent quintets . The souther n press had hailed Oregon as a rea l championship contender . Web f o ot fans said to themselves, "It looks a sthough we 're going places this year ." T HEN CAME injuries, frequent ill-nesses, and a run of hard luck tha t later claimed the life of one of Ore- gon 's finest athletes . No one inciden t could be singled out as the cause fo r the team 's poor showing, but a strin g of minor happenings contributed t o the disastrous season . Oregon lost its first game to Wash- ington State . It lost its second game t o Washington State . It lost to Wash- ington . It ran its string of defeats t o ten . Here was a record, if only a ba d one ! Then Oregon won a game fro m Idaho, but came home and lost again , this time to Oregon State . Ordinarily, when a team has lost as many games as this, the boys get dis- couraged . They break training, pa n the coach, complain at each other, an d lose interest in the sport . But no t Oregon . Led by the red-haired "Cap " Roberts, the Wehfoots fought harde r with each succeeding defeat . The y couldn't win for Reinhart, but the y could put everything they had int o every contest . Then came the tragedy that sad- dened every man on the squad . Home r Stahl, who had turned out faithfull y for three years without winning a let - ter, had finally broken into the lineu p this season as a first string player . H e had entered the Idaho game and th e Oregon State game for a few minute s and had won his "O ." But a cold ha d developed into pneumonia, and Stah l was lying on his deathbed in a Eugen e hospital . The players were to leave for Seat- tle but they decided to call off thei r trip and stay to see Stahl through . "Go ahead and play your games, " Stahl had said . "You'll see me throug h my illness better if you go on and bea t Washington ." So THE players had gone on to Seat-tle without their coach, who had re- mained behind to be near his sic k friend . And before the crucial gam e with Washington, the game tha t to mean the conference title fo r Oregon State, the Webfoots ha d received word of the death o f their comrade . They had given everythin g they had in earlier games durin g the season, but they shot th e works in this one . And they wo n the game Stahl had wanted the m to play . Oregon State beat Oregon fou r straight this year, but the Beav- ers, who crashed through to th e northern division championship , had to battle Oregon into a n overtime period in the decidin g game of their series to do it . Th e Web foots were always a threat , despite the season's record . The economic situation mad e itself felt through the graduat e manager's office, but Bill Rein - hart and the team went eve n farther than was asked in reduc- ing expenses . They travelled in da y coaches on the long trips and in pri- vate cars in the short ones . They cu t down on equipment and incidental ex- penditures, and even managed to mak e money on their barnstorming tour . T wo or the men, "Cap" Roberts an dKermit Stevens, have played thei r last games for Oregon . At the ban- quet that formally marked the end o f the season, "Gib " Olinger, diminutiv e forward, was named captain for nex t year. As to Oregon's chances in the nex t conference race, there is no way o f telling . It is believed, however, tha t the Webfoot coach will surprise th e Northwest with a strong team whe n the next season rolls around . Rein - hart has a habit of not stepping int o the same trouble twice .

Walt Norbiad, 1 Chauncy St., 12A,Cambridge, Mass. . y MODER N ENGRAVING COMPAN Y 935 Oak Street--Eugene, Oregon THE FAMILY MAIL First Auto At the end of the 18th Century, while othe r adventurous Americans were exploring th e west, Oliver Evans, former wheelwright ap- prentice, author, self taught steam engineer , was exploring the possibilities of high com- pression steam engines . For years peopl e ridiculed his ideas . He could gain no commis- sion to construct steam powered vehicles fo r the public roads . In 1804,however, the 49 year old invento r was commissioned to construct a steam pro- pelled flat-boat to clean the docks of the cit y of Philadelphia . As TIME, had it been printed in 1804, woul d have reported subsequent events : -Up Market Street toward Broad, creaked, groaned and chuffeda queer contraptionlast week, Philadel-phia new steam-driven barge . Too proud to hav eher towed through town by horses, Inventor Oliver Evans had geared the wonderful craft own powe r to the wheels of the wagon on which she rested.Surrounded by wheezing paraphernalia, Invento r Evans was busily engaged in steering, curbing and encouraging his amphibious, five-horsepower jug-gernaut. He appeared tremendously tickled wit h himself. At this point, the crowd initial astonishment be gan to veer toward ridicule . "A horse! A horses " someone shouted . Suddenly angered, Inventor Evans applied hi s brakes d a round-bellied bag containing the $3,000 which the city had just paid him for his scow . He picke d out the chief heckler, brandished the money under his nose, offered to make the unique wager that he could build a steam carriage which would outru n any horse over a five-mile course on the Lancaster Turnpike . The inventor remounted his machine, drove her t the river. When the running gear was stripped away and a paddle wheel was rigged astern, the Evan s scow took to the water like a duck. With Invento r Evans at the controls, she steamed down the Schuyl- kill. A number of onlookers saw her turn into th e Delaware, upstream. . . Thus would TIME have reported how th e first automobile fortuitously chugged th e streets of Philadelphia . So, too, would TIM E have reported how similar vehicles puffe d through England 20 years later, until taxed of f the roads ; how it was almost a full centur y before the successful commercial experiment s of Duryea, Haynes, Benz, and others . Cultivated Americans, impatient with cheap sensationalism and windy bias ,turn increasingly to publications edited in the historical spirit . These publica- tions, fair-dealing, vigorously impartial, devote themselves to the public wea l in the sense that they report what they see, serve no masters, fear no groups .TIM E The Weekly Newsmagazine YEARLY SUBSCRIPTION $5 ..135 EAST 42nd STREET .. l3 CENTS AT ALL NEWSSTANDS cl c /T E-star - "There nothing to it, Graham!
