Thousands Cheer Spears’
, Victorious Oregonians
At S. P. Station
—
A seething crowd of 2500 vie- j
tory-mad students took possession j
of Eugene yesterday afternoon to !
welcome “Doc” Spears and his tri
umphant “violet-pickers” amid
cheers and rallying unparalleled in
recent years.
The genial doctor was presented
with a huge bouquet of yellow
chrysanthemums, was photograph
ed with his family, and finally pa
raded with the team, in gaily be
decked cars, to the Igloo.
Led by the Oregon band, gaily
resplendent in their brilliant uni
forms and a fire engine bearing the
Oregon rally committee, a double
row of cars extending over 20
blocks swung down Willamette.
The air was shattered with scream
ing sirens, clanging bells, and
banging automobile exhausts a3
the varsity and coaches were es
corted to McArthur court.
The citizens of Eugene thronged
the sidewalks to cheer the ralliers.
^ Office buildings, roofs, and win
dows were filled with enthusiastic
spectators who bombarded the
throng below with confetti and ser
pentine.
At 13th street the rally swung
east as far as University street
and proceeded to McArthur court
where it disbanded and students
flocked inside. A huge serpentine
formed on the floor broke up as
the yell leaders, and members of
the rally committee mounted the
platform at the south end of the
hall.
Coach Spears, President Arnold
Bennett Hall, and Brian Mim
naugh, student body prexy, gave
short talks lauding the team on its
spirit and clean playing. Mimnaugh
declared that the team would be
working under psychological dis
advantages as a result of this vic
tory, and would need all its re
sources to defeat Oregon State
next week-end. He rebuked the as
sembly for its previous mediocre
showings, and expressed the hope
v that all future rallies would bring
forth similar spirit and huge
crowds.
The rally dispersed at 12:30 af
ter lusty cheering and chanting of
“Mighty Oregon” by the rooters.
This was the third rally in Oregon
welcoming the returning team.
Other rallies were held in Ontario,
Baker, and Portland.

Rhodes Scholar Worked As
National Park Tourist Pilot
By GEORGE ROOT
(This is the third interview
with Oregon’s candidates to the
Rhodes scholarship.)
Anyone who was in Glacier na
tional park during the summer of
1929 may remember a curly
haired, ambitious young fellow
who ran the J>oat concession on
Lake McDermott and enveigled
tourists into taking the boat trip
by giving many and varied lec
tures at the hotel on the beauty
of the surrounding country.
That fellow was Frank Lom
bard, a graduate of Springfield
high, who for the past three years
had been attending Willamette
and, besides being a member of
I several clubs and honoraries and
playing the lead in a couple of the
school's plays, had been advertis
ing manager of the Collegian, the
weekly publication. While work
ing that summer as the lake's “of
ficial boatman,” he decided to fin
ish his college career at the Uni
versity of Oregon. •
Frank entered the University
that fall as a senior and the fol
lowing spring he was graduated.
Then last year, and this year so
far, he has been a graduate assist
ant to Victor P. Morris, professor
of economics.
The Saturday before the Rhodes
scholarship preliminary held here,
Frank said, he went into the grad
uate school on some business about
his thesis and Mrs. Fitch sug
gested that he enter the prelimi
nary contest the following day. He
decided to do so and the next day,
after waiting his turn among the
other contestants, he found him
self sitting before the examiners
and answering the questions that
they put to him. “There was a lot
I didn't know,” he added.
Frank was interviewed last
night in an empty room of the
Journalism shack. He sat with
one leg over the arm of his chair
and talked happily of Oxford.
“That’s the world's champion
place to train diplomats,” he said,

Igloo Plays Host
To Rally Dancers
Wednesday Night
Peppy Program Welcomes
Spears and Oregon
Team Home
“Pep and more pep” was the
universal cry at the second mam
moth all-campus rally dance of
the year, held at McArthur court
last night from 7 to 9 o’clock.
Mountains of molten enthusiasm
hailed Dr. Clarence Spears and his
triumphant Webfoot gridsters re
turning from their recent victory
in the East over ^ew York uni
versity.
Music for the event was fur-!
nished by Carl Collins and his
Kampus Knights, featuring Billy
Sievers, the blond “Phil Harris’ of
Oregon. Ten cents admission was
charged to defray the expenses in
curred during the dance and rally
earlier in the day.
A crowd of red-hot ralliers esti
mated at a thousand crowded the
igloo in one of the biggest displays
of pep in the history of the Uni
versity. All preparations were
handled by Carson Mathews, head
of the rally committee, and the
group working under him.
“The dance tonight was one of
the most successful from both the
financial and social aspects of any
we have ever had,” stated Math
ews late last night.
The dime crawl, which was post
poned in order to give the students
the opportunity to welcome the
victorious gridsters home to Ore
gon, will be held next Wednesday
night, according to Ann Baum,
president of the Associated Women
Students.

'Seat of Mighty’
Desecrated With
Ugly Green Paint
The class of ’35 has become po
litical and social-minded. Today
they will have an opportunity to
become janitor-minded, when the
entire class will gather around the
senior bench at 12:30 o’clock. At
this time green lids will fly fast as
the clean-up proceeds under the
conduction of the Order of the
“O” and senior men.
It was about 6:30 p. m. yester
day when three members of -
class gave the traditionally re
spected senior bench a far-from
neat coat of green 35’s.
Although it has all the earmarks
of another overzealous outburst
from the freshmen, Howard Steib,
freshman class president, says the
paint job was done entirely with
out his knowledge.
“All seniors and Order of “O”
men with all the paddles in the
country are asked to be on hand
to conduct the clean-up,” says ICer
mit Stevens, president of the Or
der of the “O.”
Hobart Wilson, senior class pres
ident urges all senior men to be at
the gathering to assure a proper
clean-up of the class's “seat of
honor.”
Rumors have it that some re
vengeful sophomores have taken
this opportunity to justify the pre
vious ardent attitude of the fresh
man class.

the admiration, respect, and
friendship of the members of the
law school faculty and student
body,” stated Dean Wayne L.
Morse, under whom he did some
of his work. "He was the type of
individual who enriched the expe

Students May
Use Libraries
Friday Nights
Nine o’Clock Announced
As Hour of Closing
Board Revises Schedules
Following Survey on
Opinion
All libraries will be open Friday
night until 9 o’clock, it was an
nounced yesterday by Matthew H.
Douglass, University librarian.
Other hours will continue as sched
uled at the beginning of the year.
This decision was made by the
library board after a survey of stu
dent opinion had been made by the
interfraternity council at the re
quest of Brian Mimnaugh, presi
dent of the associated students.
“We will keep the library open
on Friday night as long as there
is reasonable use of the service,’’
Mr. Douglass stated. “That is un
less the funds for operation threat
en to run out before the end of the
year. Our budget has been cut to
absolutely necessary requirements
and it was for this reason that the
reduction of hours the libraries
were open was made."
Mimnaugh expressed apprecia
tion of the action of the board
when told yesterday of the decis
ion.
“I am sure that students having
classes Saturday morning will take
advantage of the opportunity,” the
student head commented. "Many
students have personally told me
that they would like to use the
reading rooms on Friday night and
I believe that there will be many
more doing so.”
Library hours, under the new
schedule, will be Monday to Thurs
day, 7:45 a. m. to 10 p. m.; Friday,
7:45 a. m. to 9 p. m.; Saturday,
7:45 a. m. to 6 p. m.; Sunday, 2 to
9 p. m. The law library will oper
ate on a separate schedule.
The new hours go into effect this
week but all libraries will be closed
[the Friday night of Homecoming
week-end.
Dr. R. C. Clark Attending
Court Session at Burns
—
, Brief Framed From Interviews
With Aged Pioneer Men
Dr. R. C. Clark, head of the his
tory department of the University
has been away for over a week at
tending court session at Burns. He
:was summoned by the United
States supreme court to testify as
an expert witness in a civil case
between the state of Oregon and
the federal government regarding
the long pending question as to
under whose jurisdiction Lake Mal
heur should be.
According to a letter written by
j Dr. Clark to Professor Ganoe, who
! is taking charge of the classes of
the former during his absence, he,
Dr. Clark, is preparing a brief to
be submitted to the court. In the
preparation of this brief, he had
the chance to interview about 200
pioneers whose ages were 80 or
more. He said that he found these
men to be unusually keen minded.
Hodge Consulted on Question
Involving Early History of Lakes
Malheur and Harney lakes, lo
cated in the center of Harney coun
ty, are having their life history
written, not by geologists for the
edification of the general public,
but to comply with the strict rul
ing of court law, according to Ed
win T. Hodge, professor of geology.
On the question of whether Mal
heur and Harney lakes have been
within white man’s country and
whether they have been navigable
bodies of water, hangs the question
of ownership. If they have been
navigable, they belong to Uncle
Sam; if not they are the property
of the state of Oregon.
“Old settlers have been called
before the court to testify and re
call memories of early days,” said
Dr. Hodge, “but so far geologists
have not been invited to appear
before the court, although they
know the history of these lakes.
"At one time the river that made
these lakes, drained southward and
was dammed by a lava flow. The
greatest heights obtained by the
lakes can be determined by the
lava,” continued the geologist.
“This body of water covered a
large portion of what is now Har
ney county when at its highest
j point. At this time, the surround
ing country was knee deep in grass.
Antelope, bison and perhaps cam
els grazed around their shores. To
the waters at certain seasons
came migratory birds, and along
the shore, no doubt, dwelt many of
the early Indians of Oregon.”
According to Dr. Hodge, the
lakes overflowed to the north cut
ting an outlet by way of the Sil
vies river. The discharge along the
Silvies river cut deep enough to al
most drain the lakes. However, the
main shrinkage was caused by
changes of climate.
“We do not know everything
about the climate changes in Ore
gon but several of us are working
on this and may be able to detail
the exact changes in years. The
fact is sure, that the main shrink
age has been a matter of time. If
the cycle keeps up, the death of
the lakes will be brought about.
