Remember when dep't: Writes
14, Tacoma, with Seattle Times clipping of Sports Editor jBandy Mc
Donald's columnlI think the enclosed clipping is aft interesting side
light on the early life of 'Spec Keene." . (Yea, verily!) And quoting
without quotes:
Whenever he hears or reads about the boys today playing their
football "under, adverse conditions,". Lt, Coxa. Bill jReinhart, ex-Ore
gon and George .Washington U
coach now in the navy's pre-com-jnissioning
program, smiles quiet
ly to himself as he recalls some
rugged games in which he played
as a soldier In the first World War.
Bill got to reminiscing about the
old days during his recent visit
Mused he:
. "We were in the 162nd infantry
(the old 3rd Oregon), waiting at
Camp Mills, Long Island, to go
across, and we had what we
thought was a pretty fair battalion
football team."
While the names of many of the
players on that 1917 Oregon out
fit wouldn't mean much to present-day
fans, a number of them
should click with oldtimers.
Among; them, in addition to Rein
hart at quarterback, were Luke
Gin, fullback, and Whit Gill, an end,
gon State basketbaU coach; Spec
university coach, also a lieutenant
another end; Eddie Strowbridge,
later starred at quarterback for
left half: Carl Fen ton, who had
guard, and Don "tawley, Oregon,
tackles.? - .-
t "We played five games in three days," Reinhart recalls, and if
any of you are familiar with Long
know what we were up against v .' .
Played in Their Woolen Undie-fio Pad i
Expecting to sail at a moment's notice, we had packed all our
footbaU gear except shoes. But that didn't matter, j We played in our
OJX pants and woolen underwear ... no-shoulder pads or headgears'.
And this wasn't 'touch' football. .. .. ; j
' "We whipped a team from Alabama on a Wednesday, and some
wagon-train outfit on Friday. That night a bunch' of Montanans came
around.! They were strong on their football team and asked us when
we could give them a game. We said, Tomorrow. Why not?' We were
afraid we'd be on the boat by Monday. " ' " " j
' ; This Montank outfit (the old 163rd) was plenty tough. They'd
cleaned; up on every other team at Camp Mills. They also had full
equipment, including bright red Jerseys. But little Moe Sax scored
a place-kick and Strowbridge intercepted a pass for a touchdown, so
. we won, 10-0. ..." ' ' -
"Any of ourguys hurt because of lack of pads? Don't be sOly.
We were plenty tough in thos days. Furthermorei, it had been pay
day that morning, and we had iaU our dough-re-mi jon that ball game.
We were too intent on winning to get hurt! '

Tch, tch! Shame on You, Mr. Keene
One chapter, or anyway a couple of paragraphs of fine print not
generaUy knowin about the athletic careers of the distinguished former
Oregon and WUlamette coaches, slipped out during BiU's pleasant
reminiscences. Reinhart and Keene, along with the two elder GUI
boys (Slats was to come along jlater) were Salem high school stars be
fore the first war. After graduation BUI and Spec got itchy feet (de
fined under today's Athertoik Code as "athlete's foot" and treated,
not only chemically, but also by confinement to a single institution Of
higher learning) and wandered clear back to Missouri Wesleyan to
play- a little football. ' ':;; r
(They put in a year there before deciding to go back home, after
which Keene got in an additional four years of sports at Oregon State
and Reinhart four at Oregon. Obviously the faculty fathers weren't
so fussy in those days. -
Shades of the conference Purity Code! And yet, both Spec and
BUI managed to grow up to be respectable' citizens,' and both are
fighting for their country today
years. :
