entitled to know my situation definitely before starting; East, Novem
ber 26tli. The whole of my personal affairs Is pending on this request.
If convenient and possible a reply to this letter before Friday, No
vember 22nd, would be deeply appreciated.”
He came to my office again at noon today, November 21, and
insisted again that I give him an immediate answer. My reply to
all of these requests has been the same, namely, that the season was
not yet over, that I had not been able to consult with the members
of the athletic committee to whom belongs the authority to initiate
recommendations, nor with the other officials of the University whose
advice and counsel it would be necessary for me to have in order to
come to an intelligent decision. Moreover, I have not had an oppor
tunity to discuss the matter with the Oregon State Board of Higher
Education. 1 had not supposed that I would be pressed for a decision
over a year before the decision would be effective. 1 did inform
Captain McEwan that I would attempt to canvass the whole situation,
discuss it "with the State Board, with the athletic committee and the
executive council, and attempt to reach a decision early in the winter,
so that in case a decision was reached not to re-employ him he would
not be unduly' handicapned in seeking empioy'ment elsewhere.
Moreover, I have not had the opportunity to canvass the coaching
, situation generally to determine what men are available. Obviously,
" it is my duty to recommend the best man that is available at the
limited sums we have to offer.
Finally, as I suggested to Captain McEwan today, we are giving
very serious consideration to changing the status of our coaching staff
from that of contract to a professorial status on indefinite tenure
with possible reduction in salary. No decision yet has been reached
upon this important question of policy and none can be reached until
adequate opportunities h.'ivc been afforded to canvass this whole situ
ation with all those interested in the University administration and
with the Oregon State Board of Higher Education. I assured Captain
McEwan that as soon as a decision could be reached he would at once
lie notified.
A final decision in the matter cannot lie reached until the season
is over and a careful survey has been made of the results of the last
four years of work, and we can inform ourselves as to the possibili
ties in the coaching* world and until all of this evidence can be
canvassed with the State Board of Higher Education, the Executive
Council, and the athletic committee and other members and depart
ments and the administration who are concerned. As soon as this
situation can be canvassed and a decision reached, which will probably
be sometime in the winter, definite announcement will be made.

employed, because other opportunities can be taken advantage of onjy
if it is known that a football coach is available. •
( I feel that I am entitled to know my situation definitely before
starting east, November 26. The whole of my personal affairs is
pending on this request.
If convenient and possible a reply to this letter before Friday,
November 22, would be deeply appreciated.
Sincerely yours,
John J. McEwan, Head Coach of Football,
University of Oregon.
I thought the letter a fair one and still think so. He discussed
the whole question with me for an hour and ten minutes. In the
interview in? clearly indicated that he had no intention of retaining
me as coach.
I re-visited him in his office at noon November 21 to discuss cer
tain vital matters in connection with the trip of the Oregon football
team to Florida. After a discussion of these matters I asked him
again if he would come to a decision concerning my status as footlKtll
coach. His reply was that he had not and would not until after the
first of the year, along in the winter. He outlined for me his ideal
of what a football coach should he. ft was so far at variance with
my conception of what a football couch should be that I asked him if
lie contemplated making a change. He told me that lie was planning
on changing the type of head coach. In his statement he says, “We
are giving very serious consideration to changing the coaching staff
from contract to a professorial status on indefinite tenure with a
^ possible reduction of salary.”
I told him that this type of football coach had never been success
ful in the history of American football; that it was impossible for a
football coach to retain his position if his team did not win. He
agreed with me. He told me a football coach on the purely profes
sorial status was the only type of coach he would tolerate.
I asked him again if he desired to retain me. I made no mention
of salary or terms of contract. I asked him if he would object to my
making public the announcement ot my resignation. He told me,,he
had no objection whatever. On this matter I first went to the director
of athletics, which is the proper procedure under our athletic organi
zation. I was told that the whole matter of athletic coaches and
their contracts was in the hands ot the president.
My whole purpose in all this alfair was merely to get an expres
sion as to the intent of the administration as to my future in the
University of Oregon. No football coach can be successful who has
not a three-year outlook toward the future. *U. whole experience
with the football squad, student body, my immediate suiariors, the
jieoplc of Eugene and the State ot Oregon has lieen a very happy
one and I made the decision to announce my resignation only when
it became absolutely necessary.

Mez Will Speak
To Graduate Club
Meeting Friday
Students Holding Informal
Dinner Meetings in
Portland
Dr. John R. Mez, assistant pro
fessor of economics and political
science, will be the principal
speaker at the informal dinner
meeting of the Graduate club
in Portland this evening at 6
o'clock at the Congress hotel, ac
cording to Dean George Rebec of
the graduate school. Dr. Mez will
speak on the subject, ‘‘Recent Cul
tural and Educational Movements
in Germany.”
The dinner meeting is one of a
series to be held during the year
according to Dean Rebec. All in
terested graduates of the univer
sity as well as the graduate stu
dents are invited to attend, he
says.
The Graduate club, according to
Dean Rebec, is an informal organ
ization of graduate students in
Portland who use the club as a
medium for getting together and
working out their problems. Since
the graduate students there have
no campus, and since they seldom
meet in classes devoted to grad
uate students only, they are more
or less isolated and have no
grounds for acquaintance other
than the club.
