By EDWIN ERASER
"The Hawaiians are certainly won
derful entertainers,” is the unani
mous opinion of the returned members
of the victorious Oregon football team.
The men say that during their stay
in the Islands the people practically
refused to let them spend any money,
and that every spare minute of their
time was taken up with some sort of
entertainment, including such things as
Hula dances and feasts.
Several of the men took lessons in
Hula dancing, but Bill Reinhart did
the old grass-skirt wiggle instinctively
and was a big hit. Some of the men
who took lessons with more or less suc
cess were King, Brown, and Oram.
Tiny Shields tried to show the natives
how to do the dance right, one evening
after a big feed, but after demolish
ing some of the furniture gave it up.
The men all had a great time on the
trip, and according to some of the re
ports Bill Hayward admits having one
of the best times of his life. Bark
Laughlin and Bill Reinhart both made
their letters on this trip, by playing in
the first game, which was classed as an
interaectional contest.
Rud Brown while on the inland was
a hero in the surf as well as on the
gridiron, according to reports which
say he saved Miss Lamport of Marys
ville, California, from drowning. He
saw her fall off a surf board while
some distance from the shore, the story
says, and saved her by towing her to
shore. One of the Portland papers de
scribes Brown as the “handsome, black
haired, woll-built youilg fellow who
plays end on the Oregon football team.”
• • •
"Bull” Montann, hard-boiled man of
the movies nnd wrestler, was on the
same boat an the team on the trip over,
and tied with Oram and ParsonB in the
eating contest. Montann took first
in the beauty contest, say reports,
with Parsons a clone second. Montana
wrestled with Sam Olapham, English
light-heavy weight champion, while the
trnm win on the Island, but lost his
match while the football men won both ,
of theirs.
While on the trip the men met Duke
Kuhnnuiniiku, the famous world cham
plon swimmer. He took them on an au
tomobile ride through the pineapple
groves nnd the banana forests, anil at
one place several of the men after ap
propriating several ripe pineapples
had just started eating them when Bill
Hayward jazzed by in a car. The men
nay thnt Bill worked them much harder
than usual that evening.
Oates, who played a halfback posi
tion on the Hawaiian team, was their
big star. He formerly lived in eastern
Oregon, and is contemplating coming
to the University of Oregon next year.
Aiken, nnother of the Hawaiian backs,
is also considering the question of com
ing h-ere next year.
“Eighty Oregon” is a popular song
on the Island now say members of the
team, for it was played whenever the
Oregon team appeared at any important
function. When the men walked down
the gang plank on landing the Hawai
ian band struck up this tune, and at
another time when the men appeared
on the street while a dance was in
progress the band immediately changed
the tune to that of “Mighty Oregon.”
• • *
After the last game a big Hawaiian
feast or “Luau” was given in honor
of the Oregon team. The menu con
sisted of roast pig, raw fish, poi, dried
fish, dried squid, and many other
favorite dishes. All of the food for
this feast was cooked by roasting in ti
leaves. There was no sign of table
utensils, and all pulled off their coats,
rolled up their sleeves and went after
the chuck. The men all passed up the
squid, and only one or two could go the
poi, which was described as tasting like
dry paperhangers paste. The meal was
a big success though and the men are
all strong for Hawaiian foods.
All the men with the exception of
the Shields brothers, “Bark” Laughlin,
and “Chuck” Parsons were sick going
over. Only ono or two were sick on the
return trip and this did not last long.
Ono of the reasons for the big scores
over the other teams was the condition
of the men, which was due direetly to
Bill Hayward. They were in twice as
good condition as either of the oppos
ing teams, they said.
The climate of Hawaii is changeable,
the men say. The day of the first game
it was cold and wet, while the second
game was played on a sultry hot after
noon. The day the men woro to meet
the Governor it was so hot that they
discarded their coats and met the
Governor in their shirt sleeves. “If
you want to see it rain just go to
Hawaii,” said some of the members in
commenting on the climate.
The men all learned to paddle out
rigger canoes, and rido surf boards
whilo on the trip. Whilo in the latter
sport Bud Brown rescued the California
girl from the surf.
' ♦* *
Bpiko Leslie returnod with a tropi
cal parasol which he opened after
alighting from the train.
The Oregon Knights were on the job
and handled the team’s baggage.
“Hail, hail, the gangs all here”
played by the band had peculiar sig
nificance when the team alightod from
the train.
The team returned on the Matson
liner Wilhelmina which mado the trip
in 6 dayB, 6 hours and twelve minutes.
