SPEC KEENE NAMED !
NEW ATHLETIC CHIEF
(Ooatiaaod fraom pafft 1.) ;
board of the; university, of which
Attorney General I. H. Van Winkle
Is chairman, j Recommendation of
the board was taken, by the board
of trustees at a meeting held
Thursday evening at 5:15 o'cloclfc.
, Spring football practice will, be
started in ;the very near future
with Keene coaching the squad, it
la renorted. 1 The idea was, ex
pounded by the permanent ath
letic board, i
One of the objects of the spring
training will be to give the play
ers a chance to become acquainted
with their (new mentor.- Also, it
will give Keene a chance to be
come acquainted with his men, as
well as to size them up for what
they might be worth. I . .
With the election of Keene as
head of j Willamette athletics,
students on the campus are hoping
for an athletic resurrection. - For
5.
two college generations at ' least
athletics have; been slowly on the
decline, football being practically
nil. TThe pnjy sport .that. Willam
ette has excelled in has been; ten
nis. . I " ,
In ten years Willamette haa'de-
feated Whitman just twice. Hence
the cry from the students especi
ally 'greeting i Keene is "Whip
Whitman!!'
A vote of .confidence in the atr
etic board was recently expressed
by the student body, and ae the
board was the principal factor in
the selection of the coach, -It is
thought that student support for
him will be enthusiastic. ;
Dr. Carl Gregg Doney president
of Willamette university, declared
Thursday night that the selection
of Keene by the board meets with
his hearty approval.
"We have a coup here,' Dr.
Doney said. '
Keene, when he had been in
troduced, proved to be a follower
of Coolidge in the conservation of
words. ,1
"I heartUy endorse the; state
basketball tournament and- hope
you all will.be here next year,"
was his only comment. j
Bend -Trinity Episcopal church
of New York, will build a church
here.' .!.".. ; I
