. . to reward Oregon State's triumphant Rose Bowl foot
ball champions with suitable gifts — either defense savings
bonds or other appropriate remembrances ...”
This interesting little item appeared in yesterday’s Oregon
ian. It now appears that the boys are going to do a little
cashing in on their hard work. More power to them—they
deserve every penny hat they get. Football players have long
been recognized as one of the poorest paid group of workmen
i^rthe-country. *
No doubt that these gifts are being donated in the spirit
of the joy which iollowed the Beaver victory, but in the
opinion of this observer the Cornvalley patriots are leaving
their flank open lor a pincer attack on the part of brother
Atherton.
After that pre-game beef with the policeman of the Pacific
Coast conference athletic morals the Beavers are in a poor
position to be flaunting actual out-and-out gifts under his blue
nose. That is unless they expect to pull his teeth before he can
do anything.
Locey Squawks
-Just in case you don't remember the squabble Percy (The
Great) Locey told Friend Atherton that be wasn’t about to
‘"accept any ref for the bowl game unless he had a chance to
pass on his “ability.”
Now Atherton is supposed to be the boss and I don’t
imagine he likes to have his authority questioned. Then
to turn right around and give the boys cash on the barrel
head—that just too much.
True, the “gifts” aren’t money in the sense of the good old
greenbacks-—they’re better. They are redeemable in hard cash,
with interest, after three months have elapsed.
Aiums Maybe?
1 don’t imagine that the Oregon State officials are actively
involved in the idea but 1 will bet my bottom dollar that there
are some “interested” alums doing a little work for the good
qi the cause.
Now I can’t see the difference in subsidizing the players
before they make their athletic debuts or waiting until
they get a winner. Perhaps this is a bonus and is not
classed as subsidization. It is certainly nice work if you
can get it.

Cal I is Lost
Boor Mike Hoyman! Rumor has it that one of his skimpy
squad of veterans has decided to leave school. The grapevine
reports Cub Callis, lettetunan backstroker, is not going to be
in school- thisjfcerm.
. ? Loss Qf-Oallis leaves Hoyman with only three returning
lettermen; Jerry Huestis, Dick Smith, and Jack Allen.
-^.After all these years of trying to get the big swimming
meets for our fair campus he finally landed the Washing
ton and Northern division meet and then his team blows up
m his face.
More trouble! Grapevine also reports that Frosh Paddler
Bob Ifankey has decided not to return to school for the coming
season. Hankey is one of the contingent of Long Beach, Cali
fornia. swimmers that followed all-American Jack Dallas and
Sherm Wetmore to the Oregon campus.
Chuck Weitzel, one of the aforementioned group, is having
eligibility worries. Seems as though he attended Texas TJ. last
year and it is doubtful if he will be able to compete this season
for the Lemon and Green varsity.
Now there will be more work trying to get a balanced squad
to face the strong teams that will visit the Oregon pool this
season. Good luck, Mike, your fortunes are bound to change
"for the better sooner or later.
Note from the game we all want to forget. One of the
^Oregon football players was overheard to say, “You don’t
need to worry about our offense next year—we are going
to use the same one that Texas used last year.”
