Recent Domineering Senior
Of High School Visualizes Days
As Confused, Ignorant Frosh

to the University of Oror-ron as a member
of twe cla-ss of 1940.
Three months ago I was in
“nigger heaven." a senior iri
Eugene high school! As a senior
1 scoffed at sophomores, skipped
classes when f pleased, and prac
tically got away with murder.
Now, as I am about to enter
University as a pitifully ignor
ant freshman. I find myself lark
ing my heretofore mire-footed
ness. Registration, rush week,
stern professors, and Tlreek let
ters loom before me like mon
sters about to .jump upon me and
remove my new freshman pants
from my weak knees!
When I start to Oregon, how am
I to know where to go and what
to do when I get there? Should I
take dates with houses which I
know that I will not pledge ? How
can I stall on the high pressure
sales talk of men in such frater
nities ?
Nor have I any idea of how I
should act while being rushed.
What should I wear? And how
/ should I dress when on the cam
pus? I know that cords are upper
classmen's pants, moleskins the
sophomore’s regal attire, and that
frosh nants, commonly called "tin
pants.” are the ones which should
adorn my frame. Yet, should I
come upon the campus the first
day strutting in my new trousers,
or would the upperclassmen think
I was showing off?
As a freshman, what chances
will I have to participate in social
events on the campus? Will I he
welcome to student dances? Would
I dare wear a tux? And would I
venture to date a coed who was
a junior or a senior, even if she is
a close friend ? And I’ve never been
at a sorority house to call for a
date. This disturbs me.
How am I to approach the lordly
upperclassmen after I pledge? Am
I expected to reach for my ankles,
assuming a position which will
result in the rising of black welts
on the back of my l^p?
Millracings and tubbinprs make
my weary bones tremble! How am
I to learn what not to do and when
not to do things whmh will result
In these punishments?
wnai am i 10 expeci irom a
profeasor? Ia he going to have a
bristling beard? Will he ga^p upon
me and flunk me with fiendish glee
when I fail to have mv legion, or
can he be persuaded to give me
more time as most high school
teachers did?
The physical exam. I am told, is
an overdone torture chamber,
filled with doctors who nounce up
on one not unlike an octopus, tear
ing and scratching until one car
hardly breathe, then finishing by
announcing the discovery of a
slight case of athletes foot which
was already known.
With these horrors in mind, T
intend to enter University, to i
brave all of those; just to have
the thrill of being a genuine fresh
man, then to embark on n career
in school which T hone will carry
me higher in life. D.K.H.

notch sophomores.
Hoop letter winners expected
back are Bill Courtnev. Ken Purdy.
Sam Liebowitz, Cliff McLean, i
Dave Silver. John Lewis and Bill
Harcombe. Varsity reserves with
further eligibility are Wayne Scott,
Ray Jewell. Bill Dick, and possibly
Dale Lasselle, Bob Braddock and
Bobby King.
It’s Up to Frosh
Oregon chances of climbing the
northern division pennant ladder,
however, will undoubtedly rest up
on the development of outstanding
sophomores from John Warren's
brilliant Duckling squad. Leading
freshman products who should
make strong bids for varsity
berths are Bob Anet and Wally
Johansen, Astoria speedsters;
Urgel (Slim) Wintermute, six foot
i— —■ — -
I eight inch southpaw center, and
Lauren (Laddiei Gale, high-scoring
forward or center.
Still other freshmen who may fit
into the varsity picture are Gale
Smith, Leonard Heller, Ford Mul
; len, Dee Phelps and Gail Fouts.
1 Hobson will select 10 regulars by
Ghristmas vacation to carry
through the 16-game conference
! season. Plans for pre-season games
may result in the Webfoots playing
several big-time coast opponents
here at McArthur court, rather
j than an extended Oregon barn
j storming tour.
"At least 100 per cent improved
over last spring” is Hobson’s des
i eription of his varsity baseball
; prospects. A glance over the list
of returning veterans and sopho
! mores easily bears out bis enthusi
; astic contention. Only five letter
; men will be missing, Captain Don
McFadden. Cece Inman, Earl
Bu'knum, all pitchers, and MarK
DeLaunay and Eddie Vail, in
fiel/Jers.
Mi'lard Leads Field
Bob Millard, league-leading hurl
er last year, leads the holdover
veterans, who ure Captain John
Lewis. Bud Goodin, Bill Courtney,
infielders; John Thomas, catcher,
and Ralph Amato, Andy Hurney,
and Cliff McLean, outfielders.
Sophomore baseballers are
classed on the whole as the finest
ever to enroll at Oregon. They in
clude Lee Irwin, catcher; Bill
(Chic) Sayles, Gail Fouts, Johnny
Coomler, pitchers; Gale Smith,
Ford Mullen, Jack Gordon and Phil
Thompson, infie'ders, and Jim
Nicholson, John Yerbv, Jack Hay,
and Bob Smith, outfielders.
George Varoff, newest sensation
of the track and field world as
record holder In the pole vault,
will lead Colonel Bill Hayward’s
Wrbfoot track and field squad next
spring. He will have the able back
ing of such veterans ac Captain
Sam McGaughey, miler; Ken Mil
ler, ’ half-miler; Jim McDonald,
quarter-mller; Frank (Squeak)
Lloyd, broad jumper and sprinter;
Bill Foskett, Chan Berry, Clyde
Walker, shot-put; Leonard Hol
land, discus, and Elmer Koskello.
A ni’artet of star freshmen will
aid Hayward in .plugging holes
left by graduated stars. The new
men Include Jim Schriver, quarter
miler; Ben Marty, high jumper and
brother of former-world’s title
holder, Walter Marty; Don Barker,
miler, and Harry Adams, javelin
tosser.
Little can be said at present
about the Webfoots’ freshmen
teams, for not until after registra
tion will the coaches know what
thev have in the way of material
Well-balanced schedules are now
in the making for the 1936-37

Oregon’s Coach
(Continued from Pane Five)
maining players will be sopho
mores, and whether or not they
will fit in varsity competition can’t
be told until the season actually
starts.
This may be a gloomy picture,
but when one looks over the squad
rosters of California, Washington,
Southern California, Oregon Stats,
and Stanford, to mention a few
leading teams, to see double the
number of veterans and players, X
can’t exactly vision Oregon play
ing the Rose Bowl game this year.
Ray of Optimism Shines
And, yet, even after this some
what pessimistic outlook I still be
lieve we'll win a few games. We
should be a little stronger than
last year in backfield material,
oretty well fortified in the center
of the line, and there is a fine
spirit among the players.
Where last fall at this same
time we had onlv two experienced
backfield men, Frank Michek and
John Reischman, this fall we will
have three—Dale Lasselle, Bob
3raddock and Bud Goodin. Along
with these three we have some
really good sophomore prospects.
Lasselle, who showed improve
ment over last year in spring
workouts, and Braddock, whom I
consider one of the most consistent
backs on the coast, are our best
bets for left and right halfbacks.
Goodin, injured most of last year,
will move to fullback in place of
Michek.
Quarterback Post Vacant
That leaves the quarterbacking
nost vacant. First in line at pres
ent is Don Kennedy, who spent
last year as a practically unknown
'55-nound halfback. Kennedy has
increased his weight to around 180
pounds and should help us a lot.
TTe is a good blocker and likes to
nlev, which amounts to a great
deal in any sport.
Our sophomore backfield pros
pects include Jim Nicholson and
Tom Blackman, left halfbacks;
Dave Gammon and Fred Buroker,
right halfbacks; Ernie Robertson,’
quarterback, and Jean Lacau and
Cliff Strom, fullbacks. Arleigh
Bentley, a junior college transfer,
should help us either at fullback
or quarterback.
We have some excellent linemen
in the persons of Captain Del
Bjork, one of the finest tackles
on the coast; Kenyon Skinner, who
I
will play the other tackle; Joe
Huston and Tony Amato, guard3,
and Vernon Moore, and Edwin
Farrar, centers.
Reserve and sophomore linemen
include Denny Breaid, center;
Nello Giovanini, Bill Estes, Merle
Peters and Johnny Pastega.
guards; Chuck Shirnomura, Bill
Foskett, Cliff Morris, Pat Fury,
and Joy Smith, tackles.
End Positions Weak
There has been a great deal said
about the uncertainty over our
ends. We went through the 1935
season with Budd Jones and Stan
Riordan playing 60 minutes in
practically every game. Both men
were lost through graduation.
Our lone letterman end will be
Lief Jacobsen, who saw some ac
tion last fall understudying Jones
at right end. To lend some strength
to the other flank we have con
verted John Engstrom, a reserve
tackle last fall. Sophomore mater
ial is better than usual, but it is
hard to know how they will de
velc. until v/e see them in actual
competition this fall. The sopho
mores are Henry Nilsen, Bud Rob
ertson, John Yerby and Bob Hin
man.
All in all, our material is some
what stronger than it was at this
time last year. If it were not for
the heavy schedule ahead of us, I
might consider Oregon as a con
tender for top honors As it is, with
so many green players, we will
have to get plenty of breaks and
have a minimum of injuries to key
plavers to keep in the running.
It is hard to predict the outcome
of the Pacific coast conference any
year, and this fall’s round-robin
schedule makes it virtually impos
sible. On paper, however, California
and Washington appear to have
outstanding teams with worlds of
material. Stanford, Southern Cali
fornia. U.C L.A., Washington State
and Oregon State all have excel
lent chances of coming through
The only thing I am certain of is
that the 1936 season should be one
of the most hectic in history, with
the ultimate victor needing the
breaks.

Advancement
Editor D. Casciato Plans
More Pages, Features
For Yearbook
Oregon's now spirit of progres
■dveness has bern caught bv Editor
Don Casciato ard his staff of the !
Oregana of 1037. in an effort to ]
truly present in the next issue of!
the yearbook the true advancement
of the University.
Progress will be the theme of the j
publication. Appropriately, the an-!
nual will endeavor to mirror the
"hanging pattern of our time and j
the current struggle for expansion, j
especially evident this year in the 1
construction of three new build- j
ings, renovations of old structures, '
scholastic advances, and an as- [
cured attendance increase.
Plan More Pages
The book will boast approxi
mately 360 pages, an increase of
SO over the 1036 volume, edited by
George Root and acclaimed one of
the finest hooks on the Pacific
coast. Photography will play a
greater part this year since a large
increase in the number of pictures
is also planned. The pictures will
be symbolic of all phases of cam
pus life and of all campus groups.
This year’s volume will be
divided into six sections, two more
than last year.
The Oregana will offer two in
novations, unseen in previous Ore
ganas which are expected to
attract widespread attention and
nopularity of the campus.
Innovations Idsted
First will be an 80 page living
organizations section, with two
oages of pictures jievoted to each
living group. The spread will con
tain the usual individual portraits,
but in addition, will attractively
display pictures of officers of the
organization, informal shots of
groun members, and pictures of
the formal dances.
The second novel part of the
hook will be a personality and
beauty section. The “ideal” Uni
versity coed will be selected from
Oregon’s feminine enrollment by a
iury of campus men, who will also
select five of the most beautiful
women. The other half of this sec
tion will be devoted to a display
of campus leaders.
Editor Casciato and Ralph
Schomp, manager of educational
activities, spent the summer
months laying clans for the book

begin when school opens Septem

work have already been requested.
The University has received a
considerable amount of WPA as
sistance. WPA has kept about 300
men working on landscaping,
building steam tunnels, and repair

have busied themselves in many
places around the campus, improv

Almost $21,000 is being spent to
convert the old men's gymnasium

$15,000 coming from WPA federal
