DUCKTRACKS By JOHN BARTON Emerald Sports Editor Since the publication of Monday’s Duck Tracks, in which were presented the opinions left with us after last Friday’s Ore gon State game, it has become apparent that someone, after all, does read the column. This is most gratifying. Yesterday, Emerald Editor Don Smith found on his desk a letter which a dozen students deposited there concerning Mon day’s column. In it, the students present their views of our views: To the Editor: We are a group of regular Emerald readers who are sick and tired of reading the continual post-mortems which follow every sports event lost by Oregon. John Barton’s Monday col umn was the longest obituary we’ve ever read. After witnessing the late debacle at Gill Coliseum, we find the same old song and dance in which Mr. Barton says the other team was just “hot”, and decries their hitting 27 of 32 free throws as “just plain lucky.” Next our esteemed mortician looks down his nose at Dick Ballantyne, and comes to the pro found conclusion, “Ballantyne, you’re no Crandall,” which is “just doesn’t have the ability,” was “frustrated” with 14 points we would like to see him when he gives vent to his repressions. Being loyal Oregon fans, we do not appreciate Mr. Barton’s ^icious backhanded slam at the Webfoots by saying “Oregon •State does not have a team of good basketball players.” Where does that leave Oregon? However, we join Mr. Barton in the hope that Oregon will win the next game of the series. Nevertheless, we are tired of soap operas and fairy tales. Let a realist write the sports col umn and assign John Barton (Oregon’s own Hans Christian Anderson) strictly to covering the faculty teas. Please, no more “Hearts and Flowers” on Monday ings. morn Roger W. Reynolds James E. Vogt Jr. Bud Aldrich Bob Anderson Jim Harber Jack Sufat Dave Krieger George Zupan Stan Aune Alan D. Babb Raymond Swarthout Lloyd Hutchinson Thank you, gentlemen, for your letter. The object of any sports column, and Duck Tracks is included in this category, is to diseminate opinions and ideas, along with facts. If you wish to read what happened at the game, gentlemen, read the “realistic” news story of the game on page 4 of Mon day’s issue. If you want to (and you apparently hereafter will not want to read the opinions of the writer of that same news story, they are to be found in Duck Tracks. That is the object of Duck Tracks—to present opinions. An other object of Duck Tracks is to cause thought. Both objectives have apparently been achieved. Thank you, gentlemen.

Hedrick, sup erintendent of city schools, and said Medford schools would be closed Tuesday because of inclement wea ther. The announcement went out over the air and was heard by the real E. H.

A collection of papers chroni cling the daily life of an early Oregon circuit rider was recently given to the University Library by Ralph C. Crow and Vera Todd Crow of Eugene, according to Mar tin Schmidty, the Library’s Cura tor of Special Collections. The papers are the work of Isom Cranfill, a minister of the Primi tive Baptist sect. JOURNAL, DIARY Among the collection’s papers is a journal of Cranfill’s trip from Illinois to Oregon in 1847, his diary, the diary of his son,' Jasper, and a copy of an early Portland publication known as “Zion’s Mes senger,” issued in 1870 and 1872. The diaries show that Cranfill traveled no less than 7,932 miles in the four years between 1866 and 1869, while ministering to his far flung Willamette Valley congre gation. ANTI-SLAVERY The “Zion’s Messenger” papers are devoted to the defense of Cran fill’s stand on the question of slav ery, Cranfill standing for abolition. Cranfill was a resident of Eu gene during 1876 and 1877. His daughter, lone, attended the Uni versity of Oregon, and graduated in 1880. The strenuous activities recorded in the diaries, took a measure of Cranfill’s health, and he passed away on November 10, 1877.
