Not Unseen The bruised and battered face of Barney Holland has been living with us for the past few days as an unhappy reminder that football isn’t the only bone-jarring sport in cojlege ath letics. True, accidents and injuries seem to be a part of the game, and lie’s not the only man who has been so punished while playing for the University. But it’s a rough thing to see hap pen to one of the finest all-around athletes we’ve seen here in some time, We won’t say, nor would Bill Borcher approve of us saying, that Barney has been the vital cog on the ball team. We won’t say that missing him on the first string against Idaho (though Bill hopes he may see a little action) has ruined our chances against the Vandals. The kind of ball the Ducks play doesn’t depend on any one .man. It needs five good players, and on that count, at least, we’ve got one or two good men to spare. But the fact that someone else can plug the chink usually occupied by the husky Coos Bay guard doesn't make us feel any better about it. And say what you might, there will be something missing when Holland is off the floor—the dogged, -determined spirit of a guy who has been known to make up with guts those things he lacked in ability. In fact that seems to be his forte: the “coming along” from just an average ball player to what Borcher describes as “one of the best.” Witness this fall when a rough-edged third string quarterback worked his way past Dunham and Shaw to start against Stanford. That, too, was Barney Holland. Words have long been used to salve the.aches and pains of injured athletes—often, we suspect, without any particular sincerity involved. And certainly we can’t hope to improve Barney’s painful situation by what we say. But if perhaps Mr. Holland has wondered in this past week if anybody gave a hoot or cared about the banged-up guy who sits on the sidelines, we think we can make him feel a little Better. We would like to assure him that what he has done to ieep Oregon teams from being either lightly regarded or easily ■overcome has not gone unseen or unappreciated. (J.H.) At Last!: A Purpose ANCIENT Hr5TC>E,y i.6Cxu under graduates have shown an apathy in their attendance at the fun festival giving rise to a miscon ception on the part of the foreign students that the American stu dents are disinterested. I know that the American undergraduate is vitally inter ested in the whole world around them. I know they regard us for eign students as one of the best methods by which they can understand how the world thinks. I hope that they will translate their interest by helping us make our fun fest a successful one by their presence. Ted Coh General Chairman International Cun Fest Committee
