Office Resigned
By Seniors’ Head
In Formal Letter
Resignation Is Necessary
Because of New Work
At Aviation School
Nelson Expects Transfer
To the Kelly Field
A formal letter of resignation
from the presidency of the senior
class has been received by Beatrice
Milligan, A. S. U. O. secretary,
from Carl Nelson, who was eleet
•ed to office last spring in order
to enter the governmental aero
nautical school at Riverside, Cali
fornia.
_ The course, which Nelson is tak
ing leads to appointment as a
regular pilot in the army, with the
rank of second-lieutenant. In let
ters to friends, the former Oregon
student says that he has had
about 2& hours of solo flight and
expects to be I ransferred soon to
Kelly field in Texas.
Nelson's communication to the
senior class is as follows:
“To the Senior Class:
I wish to express my thanks to
the seniors of the University of
Oregon for having elected me as
their president for the school year
of 1929-30.
“It is with sincerest regrets
that I have not been able to conn
back to the * 'niversity to resume
my work and carry out my duties
as president of the class of 1930.
My appointment to the govern
ment aeronautical made it neces
sary for me to leave at the be
ginning of the school year.
"Since my work here will last
indefinitely, I wish to resign as
president of the class of 1930. May
my successor carry on as I would
like to have done, and with best
wishes and success for the re
mainder of the year.”

Eddie Duma, Former Star, Record Breaker
THESE large scoring totals of recent basketball games make us
think of one famous Oregon player, Eddie Durno, who competed
for the Webfoots when Bill Reinhart, present varsity coach, was hold
ing down a guard berth on the lemon-yellow and green team. This
said Durno broke the then existing Pacific Coast and Northwest con
ference free throw shooting record, and we ive a good idea that his
mark •still stands. Those days, it was in lue season of 1921, saw
basketball played under different rules than now, and one was that
the best foul shooter on the team could do ill the shooting of free
throws regardless of who the foul was committed against.
The record-breaking performance occurred in the first of the
three-game series between Oregon and the present Oregon State.
Durno sent 23 balls arching toward the net from the foul line
and 20 of these went through the hoop. Incidentally, Oregon won
the game, 30 to 29, and Durno’s total points amounted to 26. The
game was played on February 4, 1921. Seven days later Oregon
again beat the Aggies, 42 to 13, and Durno scored 20 points. In
tlie final game, Durno scored 19 of Oregon's 37 points while the
Webfoots held the Reavers to 19 markers.
Needless to say, Durno was named on the all-coast team that
year. He converted a total of 13 free throws out of 180 attempts for
a season total, and he also scored 67 field goals for a total of 270
points. These figures include only conference games. At that time
there was no division, as at present, between the Northwest and Coast
conferences with Oregon meeting the California schools during the
regular season.
Track and Baseball Soon To Take Limelight
Coach Bill Hayward will soon
have his varsity tracksters cavort
ing around the cinder track on
Hayward field, starting the long
training grind for the coming
season. Bill can train track men
with the best of them and he will
have a fairly good array of vet
erans to build his team around
this year. Hayward is complete
ly recovered from the attack of
flu which bothered him through
out the winter and he will be
able to again show the would-be
stars the finer points of the sport.
* * *
Bill has been working on big
Ed Moeller’s cracked elbow in an
endeavor to have the unofficial
world’s discus record holder ready
for competition again this year.
Moeller fell off a bob-sled during
the recent period of snow and has
had his right arm in a cast since
that time. Hayward reports
that the injury is responding nice
ly to treatment and that Moeller
should again be able to. toss the
platter in a short time.
Although it is a little early,
prospective members of the var
sity baseball squad have dug out
their mits and are oiling them in
preparation for the coming con
ference season. In another month
it will not be unusual to hear the
crack of the bat as some hefty
player drives the ball over the
fence, with Coach Bill Reinhart
perched up on some vantage
point giving out instructions. Bill
knows his baseball, as well as his
basketball, and Oregon’s chances
in the race for conference honors
look healthy.
Former West Point Roommates
Now Members of Rival Houses
On University of Oregon Campus
Roommates at West Point last
year and members of rival frater
nities on the Oregon campus now.
Such is the status of Joe Jans^,
Kappa Sigma, and Jerome McKy,
Sigma Nu. Friendly rivals in
the “plebe class” at the military
academy, they plan to continue
this rivalry on the local campus.
Whereas they once clashed on the
gridiron and mats of West Point,
they are again pitted against each
other in a different setting.
Strange as it may seem, coin
cidence plays a large part in the
re-uniting of the two friends. It
might have been through Captain
McEwan's influence or perhaps
McKy, who makes his home in
Eugene, painted such glowing
word pictures of the University
that Jansa, who hails from San
derson, Texas, was induced to come
to the coast. 1
"McKy and I had a great deal
in common last year,” Joe said
reminiscently. “We were the big
gest men in the ‘plebe class,' we
wrestled and played football to
gether, and we got into scholastic
difficulties at the same time.”
Using a time-worn remark,
“West Point’s loss is Oregon’s
gain” is only too true. Football
plays simply have to detour
around these near 250-pound ath
letes, and Coach Harry Elliott is
greatly perturbed whether the
gym floor will stand up under the
strain when they are tumbling
about the mat. He also expresses
the same concern about opposing
grapplers who undertake the task
of quelling the bulky warriors.
appointees will soon name sub
committees to carry out the var
ious functions necessary to make
what Pittman terms will be the
most successful shine day ever
held.
. Junior ijliine day will be held
within the next two vveeks, accord
ing to present plans. Male mem
bers of the junior class will be
come bootblacks on that day, and
give shines for a dime each.
All members of the committee
have been prominent in campus af
fairs, according to Pittman, and
he expects them to very efficient
in their work.
Track Meet May
Be Hold in West
California's Imitation Is
I'mlvr Consideration
Of interest to track enthusiasts
on the Pacific coast, is the an
nouncement that an invitation, to
hold the 1932 1. C. A. A. A. A.
track meet at Berkeley. California,
is being considered by the offic
ials in charge of the meet.
The invitation, extended jointly
by the Universities of California,
Southern California and Stanford,
is interesting in view of the fact
that never has the big meet been
held west of Chicago and that it
is intended that, that year the
meet shall serve as a preliminary
to the Olympic Games, to be held
in Los Angeles during the sum
mer.
Only 350 tickets can he sold for
Senior Ball.

Quinlel Survives the First
Tilt Without Serious
Injuries
Second Game Scheduled
For Corvallis
With a week to get over any
slight injuries which the catch-as
can basketball conflict of last Sat
urday evening may have caused,
Coach Billy Reinhart is working
his men out daily in an effort to
retain the strength and form
which enabled the Webfoot team
to gain a decisive victory over its
traditional rival, the Beaver.
There were no injuries of any
serious nature to any of the par
ticipants of the game and the
team should line up in the second
game of the series, scheduled for
Friday night at Corvallis, as they
were in the initial game.
Trip Slated
After the next two scheduled
games are played, the Lemon and
Green will take to the road and
compete the four-game series
which have been started here

ter these two series the team will
return south for the final game

will be played at Corvallis Febru
ary 2. The final games of the sea
son will be played at Seattle
against the Washington team
February 28, and March 1.
Magazine Heads
To Attend Meet
Policies To Be Discussed
At Conference
Miss Jeannette Calkins, editor
of ‘Old Oregon,” and Miss Peggy
Boyer, circulation manager, will
leave today to attend the confer
ence of the Pacific Coast Graduate
Group at Berkeley, February 7.
Attending the conference will
be delegates representing the
alumni magazines of the univer
sities of Oregon, Washington, Cal
ifornia, and Southern California,
as well as Stanford university and
Oregon State college. They will
discuss editorial policies which
would be advantageous to the
magazines as a group, from the
standpoint of general interest as
well as business.
In the past this group has adopt
ed advertising policies which have
brought more business from na
tional advertisers to all the maga
zines.
Miss Calkins claims that the Pa
cific coast has its own particular
problems and opportunities, which
this group is trying to develop.
President Hall has shown interest,
and has suggested several plans
which Miss Calkins intends to pro
pose at the conference.
Following the conference she
and Miss Boyer will attend the
annual meeting of District IX of
the American Alumni association,
at St. Mary's college, February 8.
District IX includes all the leading
colleges of California and its
neighboring states.
Miss Boyer has just returned
from the conference of District
VIII, of which the University of
Oregon is a member.
