By BOB STILES
Oregon’s Webfoots are in Seattle today where they will take
on the Univesrity of Washington Huskies. It’s the opening of
the northern division hoop struggle between five of the coast's
best casaba-hoisting clubs.
Traveling with Coach Howard Hobson will be a party of
ten players and a manager. This group will attempt to upset the
heavily-favored Huskies. The men making the trip are: George
Bfay, Bob Caviness, Dick Humphreys, Wally Borrevik, Bob
mmuion, rsiu j-niinps, nirme joan
ner, Norman Henwood, Edwin Al
len, Marion Huff, and manager
Nick Weddle. The probable start
ing lineup will be Caviness and
Humphreys at the forward posi
tions, Bray at center, and Hamil
ton and Phillips as guards.
Included in the traveling team
is Wally Borrevik, one of last
year’s lettermen; and Ernie Dan
ner, the newcomer from Eugene
high. As these men have not com
pletely rounded into condition,
they will probably see only lim
ited action.
Coach Hobson will run the team
though a light work-out at the
University pavilion to prepare
them for the Friday and Saturday
night games.
When the outcomes of the
games are known, it will not be
difficult to determine the caliber
of this year’s team. The Ducks are
entering the game on the lower
end of the odds. This is because
they will be facing a team com
posed entirely of veteran players
of college ball. A small matter
like being considered to have
nothing more than an outside
chance to win will not daunt the
spirits of the fiery squad gath

Family of Prof
Proven Old One
An article in the Geneva (New
York) Daily Times describes the
history of the family of Dr. Rob
ert E. Cushman, professor of re
ligion at tlie University. A copy
of this article was sent to Dr.
James H. Gilbert, dean of the col
lege of liberal arts, by Dr. Paul
Baldridge of Geneva.
Dr. Cushman is a direct de
scendant and namesake of Robert
Cushman who was one of the pil
grims, chartered the Mayflower
and preached the first sermon ev
er to be printed in America.
The article commemorates
Robert Cushman and Thomas
Cushman, Robert's son, who suc
ceded Elder Brewster as pastor
of the colony.
In discussing Dr. Cushman’s
father, the article states: "In their
long line of descendants contain
ing the names of numerous emin
ent divines, Bishop Ralph S. Cush
man, D.D., L.LD. of St. Paul,
Minnesota is doubtless the present
generation's most conspicuous
perpetuator of their forefathers'
preaching tradition.1’
