But how acute and real 's tlio sorrow that remains following the passing of a young man called in the very bloom of manhood. Wo may well pause a moment and re flect on the untimely death of Carl Fenton, recognized by all as Oregon’s greatest athlete. Carl Fenton was an exceptional man. During his under graduate days he wore the lemon-yel low colors in four major sports—he was a star in all of them. Tlio winner of some fourteen athletic emblems, hon ored by critics and fans alike, respect ed by all who know him—indeed he was a man among men. Nature endowed him with an extra ordinary physique and a keen mind. Prom childhood lie loved athletics, he was predestined to lead ill them throughout college. Fenton was an exemplar of all that is clean and manly in sport; a credit to intercollegiate competition. Athletics always reveal a man’s true nature, the inner self without the white linen and collar of conventionality. Throughout his long vears of activity he never marred his brilliat career with an act of unsports nan like conduct. That alone is re inarkalde. As a student, companion, and friend he was high among his fellows. His death was the result of his self-sacri fice, his unwillingness to give up de spite his illness, that would keep him from rendering his full duty while wearing the khaki in the war. tlis death but a few days ago, after a long suffering under cerebral spinal meng iugitis leaves his many friends in mourning. Oregon wilt long remember] and sorrow in the calling of fail Feu ton athlete, student, soldier, man. MOTHER In Sail Prancisi'o, in a store window on Market Street, some few years ago there was exhil ited a picture that held men and women spell bound, and mo tionless. The at list, w ith all ttie fervoi of brush and being, had pictured a mother, grey-haired, wrinkled, and a face that expressed, every virtue that men find in their mothers. The mother was about to say farewell to her son, grown to manhood and eager to enter life’s struggle. In the mother's eyes there was the hope for the son's well being, the tears of parting, the plea that he walk worthily of her. < hildren, young men, old men and women looked at the picture for manx minutes. All through the day men j aused in their busy pursuits to sea in the picture the memory of mother that awaited their homecoming. And the tears that some brushed away indi cated the mothers that had been called away. Next Sunday, in every little hamlet Graduate of 1914 Was Prominent Varsity Player and Loyal Oregon Student The death of Carl B. Fenton, ’14, for four years a star on the Varsity football, baseball and basketball teams, and member of Friars and Beta Theta Pi, comes as a great shock to Oregon students and faculty. Mr. Fenton died at his homo in Dallas Saturday after noon following an attack of menin gitis which was the result of illness while with the 3rd Oregon in France. “Carl was the only man who made twelve letters while in the Univer sity,’’ stated Dean Walker, who knew him as an athlete and also personally during his four University years. “Ho made letters in baseball, football and basketball and was a star all the way through. Football was the only thing Carl had not played before he came to college and from his first kick off he seemed to bo a natural born player. ’ ’ Fenton played center on the famous all-star basketball team of Dallas which made a tour of t}ie country in 1910 losing no games. lie was one of the most persistent men the University has ever known, playing all his college years on the teams when he would rather have taken up other work. At the begin ning of tho war he was one of the first recruits of Company L and waB soon made first sergeant of tho company. While in France Fenton had a bad ease of influenza which he did not give tho propor care, remaining on duty when he should liavo been in the hospital. On March 15 ho returned to Camp Lewis and was given his dis charge. His health had been bad ever since his attack of influenza. “As a student ho was exceedingly popular,” said Karl Onthank. “He was a quiet chap, but he had lots of Oregon spirit and was loyal through and through. Everyone who knew him was impressed with his fine physique and his gontlemanliness. ” He graduated with the degree of civil engineer and was a member of the Eugene High School faculty in 1915. He was ‘JS years old and a son of Mr. and Mrs. IT. L. Fenton of Dallas. Funeral services were held in Dallas at 2:30 this afternoon.

A Phimister Proc tor, famous American sculptor, who made the cast of the statue, “The Pioneer,” says the model came to him by chance at a ranch in eastern Ore gon, 200 miles from a railroad. A rugged, sturdy-looking hunter and with long flowing hair and long whis kers drove up to the ranch one day, and Mr. Proctor’s search was ended when hdTiad won the old trapper’s con sent to camp there and pose for him. Much of Mr. Proctor's life was spent in Colorado, where ho saw much of pioneer life, and the sculptor says he always had a desire to do a pioneer figure. Into his statue of “^’he Pio neer,” a gift to the University from ,T. N. Teal of- Portland, which is to be erected on the campus the latter part of next week, the artist says ho tried to implant the impression of power as lie knew the pioneer in Colorado, and added something of the far-away look, characteristic of the early traveler go ing west, looking for the promised land. Tie endeavored to put into the expression of the face the look of courage and hope and sturdiness of the true pioneer. When Mr. Proctor received the com mission from Mr. Teal to do the statue for the University, he was in Idaho do ing some Indian statues, lie communi cated with the ^dd hunter in Oregon and took him to California, where the figure was completed. Mr. Proctor is making his home at present in Palo Alto, California where lie lots a studio. He also has a studio in New York City, which is in charge of two assistants. Air. Proctor has not been back east for two years. He is sincerely attached to the west. After a few days fishing trip up the Mi Kenzie, the sculptor will return to Kugene for the unveiling of the monu ment. Then he will go to the Nez Perce Indian reservation in Idaho, to get “Sundown” an Indian model for a statue. Mr. Proctor has recently completed two statues for the civic center in Denver, Colorado. Studies of one, “Huckaroo” (broncho # buster), was made in Pendleton. He is working on one which is an Indian fountain which is to be erected in the city park in Saratoga, New York. “The Pioneer” is a nine foot figure cast in bronze and will be erected be tween the library and Friendly hall facing south, as Mr. Proctor says statues should face the sun and not be cast in shadow’.
