'Oliver Twist’
San Diego Marines
Added to 1940 Slate
The Oregon athletic board Tuesday approved a renewal of the con
tract of Head Football Coach Gerald A. Oliver for two more years
to bring his term cf office up to January in 1943. Oliver has signed
the new terms which give him a reported increase in salary. In addi
tion to this a game was scheduled with the San Diego Marines for
September 27 in Eugene.
This additional game gives
Oregon three home games for
the coming season. The admis
sion prices for the Marine game
have not been set yet.
Plans for the Marine game in
clude a near-stage-entrance for
the Marine team. They will come
to Eugene via air—the number
of planes is not known. This game
will precede the one with Stan
ford and coupled with the UCLA
Southern Methodist game in Los
Angeles will usher in 1940 foot
ball to the coast conference.
The new contract for Oliver is
as yet subject to the final ap
proval of the state board of high
er education. Chancellor F. M.
Hunter has approved it and will
recommend the passage of the
terms.

Fifteen Lettermen
Return to Squad;
Tackles Weak
When Coach Gerald A. (Tex) *
Oliver begins his fall roundup and
practice September 12 in prepar
ation for the 1940 football cam
paign, he will be greeted by fif
teen returning lettermen. With
only two weeks' work before the
first game, and that with the San
Diego Marines, September 27, he
will have to combine these fifteen
with twelve reserves, 27 fresh
men. and nine transfers from
junior college ranks and build
Assured Until 1943
them into a playing unit.
Indications are that the weak
est point in the Oregon team will
be at tackles. There are only a
few and should something happen
to all-coast Jim Stuart, Oliver
would be sadly put to use his slim
reserve power effectively.
Of the two returning first
string members of last year’s
squad, Stuart will be the only
probable starter. Nine places
were left vacant by graduation
and these have been filled by re
serve and freshman power. Hynne
Harris, the other returning start
er, will have to fight hard to out
do End Dick Horne, who showed
up well in the Washington game
last year.
Two Lettermen Centers
To have nine holes opened in
any team leaves a lot of plugging
to be done before the next season,
but Oliver has done just that.
Starting at center, Oliver and
company have two returning vet
erans, Erling Jacobsen and A1
Samuelson, who are being pushed
by Elliott Wilson and Duke Iver
son, two plus 200-pounders.
Ray Segale is the only return
ing letterman guard. However,
Bob Davis, holdover; Val Culwell
and Steve Bodner, freshmen,
should see first and second line
duty from signs left by spring
practice.
With only Stuart to bolster the
tackles, Oliver has found much
aid from Dick Ashcom, behemoth
tackle from Pennsylvania, and
Roger Johnson, huge transfer

Several Ends
Four lettermen ends, Horne,
Bill Regner, Hymie Harris and
Jim Harris, will monopolize the
work on the wings with Louie
Butkovich, Bob Hendershott, and
Norm Conaway coming in for
most of the other play. Chet Hal
iski is the mainstay of the quar
terbacks, in fact the only return
ing letterman. Roy Ell, ex-Jeffer
sonian, and “Peewee” Bujan, con
verted fullback from Illinois, will
see much relief duty.
Johnny “Buck” Berry, erst
while right halfback, has been
moved to the No. 1 ball-carrying
position and will probably be the
starting left halfback along
about game time. Frankie Boyd,
punter from Riverside, and Hal
Johnson, speed boy from San
Mateo, should do a lot of ball
toting. Both were here a year ago
but were injured before seeing ac
tion. Tommy Roblin and Larry
Monroy, transfers, should also see
action.
Len Isberg, Don Mabee, and
Roy Dyer, lettermen, and Curt
Mecham, transfer, will carry the
load at right half. Isberg, Berry,
Boyd, and Mecham are expected
to improve the complexion of
Oregon’s punting. Marsh Sten
strom and Bill Rach, lettermen
from Seattle, will see most of the
duty in Frankie Emmons’ shoes,
those of fullback. Jim Shepherd,
Minnesotan, will help.
