(Raymond “Curly” Lawrence, for
merly a staff member of the Emer
ald and now located in Los Angeles
with the United Press, sent the fol
lowing letter concerning University
people now in that city.—Editor’s
note.)
By Raymond Lawrence
Following the trek of thousands of
young men and women from all parts
of the United States to Southern Cal
ifornia, approximately 70 University
of Oregon graduates are affiliated
with the newly organized alumni as
sociation here.
It is estimated that 100 boys and
girls come to Hollywood every week
seeking fame in the pictures, which
is hardly more in proportion that
the number of Oregon graduates who
have recently located in Southern Cal
ifornia^
The main difference, of course, be
tween j fche movie-struck aspirants and
the Giegon newcomers is that the
latter (have been unusually successful
in thii -fairy-land of enterprise.
Southern City Grows
r It would, however, be unfaithful
to the characteristics of a Native Son
not to mention the unbelievable
growth of Los Angeles and its mar
velous growth—all of which ought
to be particularly appreciated by Or
egon readers. Up north, they say,
there is a libelous story going the
rounds about the Native Son.
It has been rumored here that the
much-touted Los Angeles chamber of
commerce intends to institute crim
inal proceedings against the perpet
rators of this infamous tale; but the
story follows:
It seems that a funeral was being
held in Portland for a little known
citizen. After the minister had fin
ished his panegyric, he asked if there
were any present who would like to
say a word. There was an embar
rased silence. Finally, the only Na
tive Son in the congregation, stood
up and remarked:
“Well, if nobody else has anything
to say, I’d like to tell you about
California.”
That’s the way, I am, for I couldn’t
resist the temptation to tell you
something about California. More
interesting, no doubt, would be news
about what Oregon graduates are do
ing here. There are 41 on my list,
but it is said that about 30 more
live in and near Los Angeles.
The president of the new alumni as
sociation in Los Angeles is Eugene
Kelty, who is connected with Free
man, Camp and Smith, a bond firm.

Bill Hayward Takes Rare
Picture of Swedish King
By Bill Akers
Perhaps the King of Sweden and
his valiant henchmen did not dis
criminate against Coach Hayward
alone in the matter of permitting
his royal self to be photographed;
perhaps there were others over at
the Olympic meet in Stockholm in
1912 who were not permitted to
film his majesty. But, to hear Bill
tell it, there was a direct conspir
acy of man and fate to keep him
from obtaining a picture of his
Highness.
“I expected it to be good,” ex
plained Bill, “I figured he’d come
out all dolled up in a gold-braided
uniform, a diamond-studded crown,
and sporting a gold cane. So about
the first day, I slipped around to
the King’s own private entrance to
the stadium with my camera. Well,
two guys came along blowing a
couple of big bugles, so I got all
ready to ‘shoot,’ for I knew that
meant the King was coming.
“The only person I saw, who, I
figured, could possibly be his royal
nibbs, was a little fellow in abont
a $12 palm beach suit and a straw
hat. I decided that couldn't be
him, so didn’t take any picture. I
figured maybe the King might
have been out the night before and
didn’t want to get up so he had
sent his secretary. But it wasn’t.
I had missed a chance to take the
King’s picture.”
Bill then told how his duties and
fate and a few other things kept
him from trying to secure his
Royal Highness ’ photo until long
toward the last of the meet. It was
the King’s custom, them, to walk
down a special incline built from
his box to the place where the win
ners gathered to receive their
prizes. The King would take the
prize, then give it to the Crown
Prince, who would present it to the
winner with a short speech of com
mendation.
“Do you know,” explainel Bill,
kniting his brows, “I tried to get
onto that field with my camera
every way I could think of, that
day; and always some big husky
blond-whiskered guy would shove
me back. I even borrowed one of
the prize winners’ bath robes and
wrapped my camera in that, but
some bird spotted me then. It was
getting time for the King to do his
stuff and I was afraid I would miss
him, so I beat it around to the
grand stand.
“I managed to get in about where
the King was; just about the time
the buglers were sounding off to
let every body know the King was
getting ready to walk down this long
gang plank they had laid for him
down into the arena. This gang
plank,” assured Bill, “was covered
with a nice, soft, red plush carpet.
The King was dressed up like a
King ought to be. All I could see was
the back of the ‘old boy’s head.’
Then a scheme came to me.
“The King and the Crown Prince
started down the gang plank and
all the guards and all the people
were looking at him. Nobody saw
me. I gave the King a good start
and then took down the gang plank
after him. That red carpet was
just as soft as it looked, too. I
just tore down past him, then, when
I got about 10 feet beyond, turned
and ‘shot’ him. He looked rather
surprised and so did everybody
else; but I didn’t stop to say how
do-you-do, or any thing like that.
“No, they never chased me or put
me in jail; I guess they just figured
me as another one of those ‘crazy
Americans’; but the best of it was,
when the movies came out showing
the King coming down to give out
the prizes, about the most noticable
thing one could see was me running
with my camera. But I’ve got the
picture.”
In Defense of Modern Jazz
* ^ ¥
A Riotous Improvisation
By Frances Morse
Maurice Ravel, who visited this
country in 1920, informed Prof. Ed
ward Burlingame Hill of the music
department of Harvard university that
“jazz was America’s only original
contribution to music.” Another
writer has said, “The elements of
jazz are the raw materials of all
music presented with primitive sim
plicity. The rhythms are strident.
The melodies simple and sharply ar
ticulated, and the form concise.”
The same writer continues that the
folk songs of continental Europe have
been the deposited sentiment of cen
turies of submerged folk life, and
into their lyrics have crept the un
mistakable element of rusticity.
Until the middle of the nineteenth
century the “Massamensch” was the
silent agricultural population of the
continent, the music of which was,
therefore, necessarily out - of - doors
music, which looked away from weary
labor, yet reflected i^s shadows
throughout its wildest abandon. The
modern “Massamensch” is a creature
of paved, lighted streets, whose music
is jazz, throbbing with life, and
laughter and vitality.
The orchestras of Peri and Monte
verdi, 300 years ago, were trained to
improvise counterpart expertly. The
music of the Hungarian and Russian
gypsies, is a pattern of riotous im
provision, restless in mood. The su
preme test of players of American
jazz is the ability to improvise ex
pertly. Thus musical history repeats
itself.
It is not possible to deny the exist
ence of jazz. But there is good
playing of jazz and bad playing of
it the same as there is good and bad
playing of Chopin. A few years ago
our writers of popular song found
that their work lacked co’lor, and
they developed a device for harmon
ic hue and we had our “blues.”
Jazz is native born, out of the con
fusion and complexity of present-day
American life. The “turgid songs
of saxophones,, the capers of clari
nets, the darting influence of flutes,
the high lights cast by drums and
xylophones,” these combine to make
music so recklessly fantastic, so hi
lariously grotesque, so superbly exotic,
that it is an uncomparable creation.
In good jazz each player is an or
iginal contributor of musical color.
Good jazz, subject to unclouded criti
cism, reveals some finer lineaments,
which at least should subject it to
the benefit of honest doubt.
In view of all this, is it possible
to dismiss jazz as merely “the cha
otic and unreliable accompaniment of
modern dance perversions?”

: while he was in Salem that Mr.
Fisher received his first appoint
i inent ns a member of the board of

Mr. Fisher was an honorary mem
i bcr of the University of Oregon
1 chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, nation
which had been consolidated
with the Review, another Rose
burg paper, became a daily
publication.
At this time, Mr. Fisher’s
health began to fail and he
went to Boise, Idaho, where
he hoped the climate would
better agree with him. \\ liile
there he founded the Evening
Capital News, which is now one
of the most influential papers
in the state of Idaho.
From Idaho, he came to Eu
gene and purchased the Guard,
which he published for several
years. His next venture was
the purchase of the Capital
Journal of Salem. While in
Salem,- Mr. Fisher aud Mr. J.
E. Shelton, present manager
of the Guard, repurchased
the Eugene paper. Mr. Shel

charge of the paper at once,

should, with practice, be able to
punt and pass and should any one
of them carry the ball with ease,
a valuable triple man might be
developed. It is impossible to more
than mention the names of these
men out for the generalship of the
squad, but with some summer prac
tice, the problem of the man for
the position will no doubt be
somewhat easier to solve.
Among the varsity lettermen out
during the spring practice were:
Captain Reed, Bailey, Terjeson,
Mautz, Shields and Wilson. Prac
tically the whole frosh football
squad was also on hand, and the
daily turnouts were strengthened
by the presence of several new men.
With the graduation of many of
the varsity squad from last year's
team, it will be necessary to fill the
majority of gaps left by the gradu
ating men, with members of the
frosh football team from last year.
This will mean an exceptionally
young and light team. But the use
of sophomores on the varsity will
not handicap the team in the at
tainment of plenty of speed.
In summarizing the results of the
spring football practice, there arei
some very important benefits that
have been derived. First, the foot
ball men havei acquainted them
selves with a new coach and his
new style of play. Second, they
have a good working basis for next
fall. Third, and probably most im
portant, they have learned to like
and place their faith in a man who
will guide the varsity football
squad for the next three years to
come.
When Oregon lines up against the
Stanford eleven in the fall, it will
be with considerable interest that
colleges will look upon the using
of a new system of play on the
coast. Yost football, or the style
of play taught by Maddock, will
then get its initial test on the coast
