Muse Thalia Is
Much Abused\
Brooks Moans
A humorless humor magazine
loomed yesterday as Wen
Brooks, editor of Lemon Punch,
bemoaned the lack of contribu
tions from campus followers of
Thalia, the muse of comic and
bucolic poetry.
Stated Brooks: “It is a tradi
tion at Oregon to publish in con
nection with the Oregana each
year a humor magazine. But
tradition may be broken from
the looks of things. No copy, no
magazine.”
In order to avert this catastro
phe Brooks pleaded for writers
of humorous verse, college sat
ires, or even jokes about campus
love, professors, coeds, or any of
the other oddities of life, to con
tact him immediately.

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.
