TIIE SUNDAY OREGOMAN, PORTLAND, AUGUST 5, 1906. STUDENT SOON E TO XODUS BEGIN Portland Undergraduates Are About Ready to Return to Colleges. MANY FRESHMEN -IN RANKS Most of Famous Oregon Athletes Returning to , Stanford, 'Which. Claims Majority of Portland Preparatory Graduates. Tha Fall exoilus of collegians to their Winter stamping grounds will soon com mence. The Summer days are about over and soon the college student will be turniwr his head Alma Materward. With film -will go the preparatory student who lias Just been graduated into university standing and is about to get his first taste of college life. Portland has always been known as an educational town. That Is, not only Is there an unusually large number of pr rmratory schools in the city proportionate to the population, but there are also more families than might be expected who liave sons and daughters completing their educations in the large colleges and unl versitiea of the country. Each year from a. rinzen to SO additional young Portland people go away to school, and most of them return with more than their share of college or university honors. Stanford University claims more than a proportionate share of Portland young people who choose to taKe a college course. Portland figures prominently in every activity at the Cardinal institution and Portland young men have in time past nearly monopolized the hlghly prlzea honors of the university. This year ther is an unusualy large number who will leave for Stanford to resume or begin their college work, as the case may be. Well known in athletic lines are Plowden Stott. Kenneth Fenton, Alex Chalmers, John Holman, Fred Zimmer man, Porter Frizzell and William Koer ner. Stott was elected captain of the Oardlnal football team, but it seems from the way the wind is blowing now that there will be no football team at Stan ford for Stott to captain. Stott has also played on the varsity ball nine for three years of his undergraduate career. Fen ton has been a teammate. He has cov ered the difficult corner on the Stanford diamond for two years and has the repu tation of being the best third baseman the university ever had. I'o nldo played a pretty game at quarts!.: 5 on the football team last Winter, li-ing a first substitute to the heavier Stott. "Bull" Chalmers to Return. Alex Chalmers, or "Bull" Chalmers, as he is better known, was last year the captain of the victorious Stanford eleven. In fact he has been on the varsity for three years ana has gained the name of being one of tlie most terrific line plun ders who ever donned a Cardinal uni form. He also is a reliable hitter on the baseball team, having been stationed in the left garden now for several seasons. Frizzell, another Portland Academy boy, was guard on the varsity eleven last Winter. He played several years at the University of Oregon before entering Stanford and Immediately made good on lanagan's team. William Koerner qual ified as end on the football team also. He was graduated from Portland Acad emy In 1!H and has been a familiar figure on the Stanford football field since his Freshman year. Fred Zimmerman, who is now in the East with the crew of the Portland Rowing Club, was a member of the Stan ford four. He has made a good record as an oarjsman and was this Spring spoken of as one of the strongest men in the Stanford boat, which was con ceded to be the best crew ever developed on the Pacific Coast. Lane Goodell, who was graduated from the Portland High School in 1905, will also return to Stanford this Fall. He continued his good athletic record, begun in high school, and played a consistent nrame with the freshman football and baseball teams. A classmate of bis from this city also is John Holman, who re ceived his earlier education at Hill Mili tary Academy. Holman was captain and quarterback of the '09 Freshman football team. He also was running well on the track before the big quake. He was mak ing good time in the sprints, was con ceded a place on the varsity track team and was picked as a possible point win ner In the big meet with California. There are many other prominent stu Tents at Stanford who register from Portland and all are firm in their declar ation, of returning despite the earthquake and great damage which It caused. Among these are: Arthur Rosenfeld, Eliot Holcomb, James Melkle, en Mor row, Elmer Young, Arthur Murphy, John Kellly, William Masters and Harold Hugglns. Many Portland Girls at Berkeley. The University of. California draws more heavily from the girls of the city than from among the young men. Lewis A. MacArthur, an old student of Port land Academy, has become quite promi nent in literary lines at the Blue and Gold university. He is a member of the "Dally Callfornlan" staff and right in line for the editorship of the sheet, which is considered one of the biggest honors to which a California student can attain. He is a member of the class of 1908 and he will return to complete his course. Miss Emma Grlebel, formerly a teacher In the Portland High School, Is a gradu ate of California and she does much to keep alive interest in the college among the young ladles of the city. Through her personal influence many have chosen Berkeley to complete their schooling. Misses Maude Cleveland and Elizabeth Kinnear are well-known members of the Berkeley student body. Strong Representation at Oregon. The University of Oregon is rapidly get ting a stronger alumni representation in Portland. For many years Portland peo ple seemed to be unduly prejudiced against the Eugene institution, but now the tide seems to be swinging decidedly in favor of the State University. More are attending there every year. Dick Hatha way and Robert Rountree are prominent Oregon undergraduates who make their homes in this city. Hathaway is a High School product. He was a star member of the baseball team, and has made a good record on the gridiron. Rountree, who "preped" at Hill Military Academy, Is beet known for his work on the stage. As an amateur dramatist and stunt man he has made an enviable record. For two years he has been end man on the U. of O. Glee Club. Other well-known Portland boys who are In attendance at Oregon are Pete Whittlesey, substitute end o the varsity football team: Bob Oberteuffer, half-mller; Harold Clifford, substitute pitcher on the varsity nine; Harry Raf fety, associate editor of the Oregon Junior class annual; Harley Glafke and Max Snow. Miss Lela Goddard, a graduate of Port land High School, has won an honor at 'Ihft SWlverstti Khicb, baa aiwaj; before fallen to a man. She was elected editor of the 1907 class year book, and got out one of the best publications oi us nmu ever edited at Oregon. The school graduates who nave eiecieu to continue their education at one of the Paciflo Coast universities, while not unu sually numerous, are the athletic pick of Portland preparatory schools. Dud Clarke, one of the best back-field men who ever played for Portland Academy, will attend Oregon when It opens In September. Har old Reed, the crack quarterback and pitcher from the same school, has chosen Stanford to be his Alma Mater. Lou Williams, also a well-known member of the Academy football squad, will accom pany Reed to Palo Alto. From the High School Stuart MacDonald. president of the June class, will enter the student body at Stanford. With him will go Clarence Al len, editor of the High School Cardinal, the well-edited school monthly. Carl Ga nong, a prominent baseball and football player from the High School, will also continue his education at the same place. Two other good football men from the Portland High School will cast in their lot with the University of Oregon Louis Pinkham. the crack tackle, and William Kiltz. fullback and sprint man. Miss Frances Gill and Miss Dorothy Moore, two popular High School girls, will enter Berkeley this Fall. Stanford University throws open its doors for the new semester August 28. Examinations for the entering class begin five days earlier. August 14 is the date set for the resumption of class work at Cali fornia, while Oregon does not receive stu dents until well fnto September. SPEAKS TO MEN ATY. M.
