Order of 'O' Commences Marv Rasmussen Drive, State-wide Help Needed By DICK CRAMER t Emerald Sports Writer The Order of the O has come up with far and away the best idea of the year. Starting today members of the organization are carrying on a drive throughout the campus and the state of Ore gon to help Marv Rasmussen. The drive is to help Rass cover his hospital expenses and also to help him come back to Oregon and finish up his college work. He was hurt last month in an automobile accident and has been in the Hillsboro Hospital ever since. He is in a cast from his chest to his toes with an iron bar between his legs so that he can not move at all. And he will be in this cast from four to six months more. Money to Help Rass The purpose of the drive is to raise money to help Marv pay oft his hospital bill and to aid him in starting- back to school. His insurance has already beer used. His father suffered a stroke over a year ago and since that time has been unable to work His mother was working but since the accident she has beer staying with Mr. and Mrs. Am acher in Hillsboro so she coulc be near her son. MARV RASMUSSEN Kass has had to have operations and special nurses since lie was injured and consequently has a very high bill. The lettermen’s club is sponsoring the drive and started it out yesterday by donating $100. They hope to collect contribu tions from every organization on the campus and also alumni groups throughout the state. They are going to contact the top men in Portland sportswriting and broadcasting to gain addi tional support and publicity. Members of the club will be around either today or tomorrow to see.living groups for contributions. They have already receiv ed some money from alums and hope that the students will give generously. Seeeborg, Don Head Lettermen Committee The committee for the drive, headed by Ken Seeborg and Bob Don, plan to have a check up to Hillsboro by this weekend, but hope to have more money coming in after that. Everyone who contributes will be listed and the list given to Kass so he will know where his aid came from. Howard Lemons and Dick Williams are donating time and effort to aid the campaign. Any checks for it should be made out to Lemons who is handling the financial end of it. There will be no expenses taken from the money that is col lected, that will all go to Kass. The Order of the O will pay for all expenses, just another sign that they are backing the fund raising move to the hilt. Seeborg stated that the lettermen hope to raise at least $2,000 from all their sources, both alumni and student. This will not be enough to pay all the hospital bill, much less give Marv any money on which to start back to school. But it will be a start and will help the entire family. Kass has two more terms of school before he will be able to get a teaching certificate and start to work. After the trouble and pain he has already suffered it would be too bad if he didn’t get it. Bum Knee Stopped Cage Career Marv started his athletic career at Franklin High in Portland where he won All-City honors with a quint that won the city title without a defeat. After a stay in the service he came to Oregon in 1945 and was a regular on the 1945-46 basketball team. But it was his last year of action. Early the following season he came up with a bum knee which put him out of action for the rest of his stay in col lege. He has been active in politics and was vice-president of the student body at the time of his accident, to name just one. Marv needs and deserves help. The Order of the O should be congratulated for realizing this and doing something about it. We hope the drive is a complete success and is over-subscribed.

Yearlings Capture JO Firsts As High School Combo Bows Coach Bill Bowerman’s Frosh trackmen rolled to a lopsided victory over a combination team from Springfield and Cot tage Grove high schools yester day afternoon on Hayward field. The final score was 67 1/6 to 45 5/6. In racking up the win, the Year lings grabbed 10 first places out of a possible 13, although they were hampered by the loss of sev eral key men because their eligi bility forms wre not complete. IT WAS this technicality that kept the Frosh’s Olympian, Jack Hutchins, from entering the com petition. Only events which the Ducklings failed to capture the top rung were the shot put, discus, and the 220-yard dash. In the last match, Bowennan never entered a con testant, giving the high schoolers a gift of nine points. However, the Springfield-Cot tage Grove organization were able to salvage some consolation by an nexing the 880-yard relay. JERRY MILLER of Springfield nosed out Frosh Bill Singler on the final lap. Individual stars for the Duck lings were little Ed Robison and Jack Smith. Results : 120-yard high hurdles—Won by Risley (F); 2—Soresby (F); 3— Joyce (F).
