Hobson Spikes Rumors Of Stanford Job Offer Gloom, gathered on Oregon’s rose-colored basketball horizon because of rumors that Stanford university was bidding for the services of Coach Howard Hobson, was dispelled yesterday when the leader of the Duck hoop squad stated that he “had not been directly approached by them." Oregon basketball fans, elated with a northwest conference championship and satisfied with bright prospects for the future, were deflated by stories that Coach Hobson was being sought by Stanford athletic directors to fill the post of Coach John Bunn, recently raised to the position of dean of men. No Official Offer Made Mr. Hobson said last night that he had been sounded out by several people during his southern trip but said he hadn't received any official offer. “I think it is mostly just gossip,” he emphasized. Coach Hobson is on a year-to-year contract basis, Anse Cornell, director of athletics, said. Counter-offers or any other action by the athletic board would have to wait until a definite offer had been ma le the California school, Mr. Cornell stated.
