2 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore. Mon., Dec. 13, 1954 Sports Psychology Vortex, Builds Headaches For. U.S. Colleges, OSC Prexy Says CORVALLIS W A "maelstrom of sports psychology which has . . ... a vice-like grip on America" has resulted in difficult nroblems for the nation's colleges, President A. L. Strand of Oregon State College said. Writing in the alumni magazine, , - 1 : : ; rr Strand said: ."The choice is to '? ; Prevent, for instance, the stay in the system and live with i uu f'"'? "ui" ""' its pressures and injustices or get , r , out. This is superficial thinking. for most of us known that there is no choice, about it. We are not free even to consider the choice." Strand's article was occasioned hv the resignation of football coach Kip Taylor. He quit at the end of a season in which his team won only one game and lost eight. ! Strand said there were some very good things to be derived from intercollegiate athletics, but "manv injustices to coaches and not infrequently to players seem to be part and parcel of the system. No institution that we know of has been able to avoid the bad by products by assuring the security of coaches or has found any way Traffic Accidents Send 5 Persons To Hospital (Continued from Page One) when he was pinned between two logs. Hospital attendants Monday said he received no fractures and was "doing fine." Meanwhile, members of the Me- Casim family in Glendale were bat tered in two separate accidents in the southern part of the county. Two members of the family were in a car just before mid night Saturday which was driven by former Glendale basketball star Bobby i Hale. Hale, "driving his father's car, lost control of it at the approach of the Cow Creek Bridge on the Glendale Road. The 1 car went into the ditch, shaking up all lour youths in the car. Ger ald McCaslin, 22, suffered a brok en nose. Hale, 19, Betty McCaslin, 17, and Diannd Halstead, 16, were the others in the car. Sunday niorning, Tom McCas lin, a brother of the McCaslins in the earlier wreck, ' was taken to Forest Glen Hospital after a cat he was riding-in turned over in a ditch. Darwin, Furlong was .the driver of the. car. McCaslin was thrown out of the car and suffered a hip injury. He spent Sunday in the hospital but was home today. The accident occurred between Canyonville and Glendale. Still another Glendale driver lost' control of his car and rode it into the ditch south of Canyonville Sun- flay night. He was Don Henderson. He was unhurt. Damage to two cars In Roseburg was estimated at $800 after a col lision on Stephens Street near Douglas Saturday morning. Offi cers said JnmeB W. Sorenson, 42, Longvicw, Wash., failed to stop jus car in time to- Koep from smashing into the rear of one op crated by Erland Andrew West berg, 37, Drain. No citations were written, and neither man was in jured, -.. - in the long run "When changes are made in coaching stafis, the public as sumes that the real cause is too many defeats. There is bo denying that is the basic reason, but it may not be the immediate or foremost consideration. Too many losses produce side reactions of various sorts, dissensions ana incompatibilities that are impos sible to mend," he wrote. The college president continued that school budgets have become so dependent on such things as Rose Bowl and TV receipts that "athletic directors shudder at the mere thought of losing that source of easy dollars. The upshot is that we try to compete in a league where the division of talent is very tough. It is expected that there will be periods of frustration. Very unfortunately and often unjustly, the coaching personnel receives the brunt of these reactions..." "In conclusion, I want to jsay J Ilia! in mv ncfimatinn vp wnn'M obtain a better coach than Kip Taylor. Furthermore he has shown himself to be a bigger man than the system of which he is a part. Few men facing the situation he did would have risen to the occasion with the courage and good will which he has displayed," Strand wrote. ,, Graveside Rites For Mrs. I.'

Rendition Of 'Messiah' Plecses Record Throng ' By LAURA OLSON Staff Writer, N.ws-R.vi.w The impressive music of Han del's "Messiah" brought the true spirit of Christmas to more than 1,600 Douglas County residents Sunday evening. It was the largest crowd ever to hear the oratorio in Roseburg. The audience in the Roseburg High School gymnasium was treated to a well-rounded, amateur perform ance. Some 85 members of the Roseburg Choral Society and church choirs in the immediate community joined voices in a Fes tival ChoiP. , - . Paced by four guest soloists, choir members presented a forece ful and well-defined shortened in terpretation of the monumental work of th German composer. Di rector S. Clarence Trued led the singers 'and the Roseburg Sym phonic Group orchestra. Special mention of the soloists seems mandatory. Soprano Exine Anderson brought a great depth of musical compassion to her solo airs. It was the third year she had appeared in the local productions. Arthur Bailey, his voice well mod ulated yet retaining a necessary amount of dash, was' heard as ten or soloist. Two artists were heard here for the first time. Mrs. William A. McLaughlin deserves special cred it as alto soloist. While Mrs. Mc Laughlin was heard oniv once. she brought a low, warm and re freshing touch to her recitation Then Shall the Eyes of the Blind be opened." Rounding out the solo parts was Charles Trombley, bass. The evening was not without its complications. A blown tube in the electric organ necessitated a quick switch to the piano for all accompaniement. it also necessi tated some quick sight reading by orchestra members. Director Tru ed and his musicians bridged the gap competently. This reporter was particularly. impressed by the presentation of the choral numbers. Certainly the festival society made Christmas a more wonderful season by its musical skill. An intermission talk titled, "The Enriching Event," , was delivered by Dr. James Millar. The invoca tion was given by The Rev. Newell Morgan and the benediction by the Rev. Ellsworth Tilton. - ' '4 Aul fit bl- n 8-., r Former Roseburg Man Dies Of Heart Attack A former well-known resident of Roseburg, George G.

Eisenhower, Party Heads Talk Program (Continued from Page One) solid Democratic backing for his present foreign policy course.

Wl -The United States told the U.N. Saturday it would never compro mise with a Communist system that keeps millions of people in forced labor. A.M. Johnson, Washington State director of the department of la bor and industries, told the social welfare committee that the Chi nese mainland's 600 million peo ple had now come under the So viet Union's pattern of "an ab horrent system of slave labor spreadiag from the place of- its origin to another continent." He alleged the Soviet Union, whose practices were used as a model behind the Iron Curtain, convicted itself by its refusal to make any real reply to a U.N. questionnaire on forced labor. The alternate U.S. delegate told the committee old fashioned slavery had long ago been aban doned by the civilized world. "But this thing we call forced labor exists en a huge - scale, Johnson said. "It involves uncounted millions of helpless human beings. And it is an instrument of concerted gov ernment policy in a contiguous region of the world where nearly one billion people live. . "It is certainly one of the para mount obligations of our United Nations to seek paths, day in and day out, for closer understanding between nations and differing po litical systems.
