A. Hummeli in Joe Gordon Hard ware, Inc. I will devote my full time to that store. J. E. Robertson, K. >1. Shisler, and A. K. Kline retain their present stuck interest in the business. The four of us will strive to provide Eugene with even a better hardware and sporting goods store, selling quality merchandise at fair prices. case of some unforeseen difficul ties I will continue coaching to November 1, 1951, rather than leave without a coach the boys I regard so highly and am so fond of.” Recent Decision Warren's decision was made only two weeks ago.
