Gloomy Gil Is
Critically III
In Connecticut
Hartford, Conn., Nov. 27
Gilmour Dobie, famous foot
ball coach whose record for
turning out undefeated teams
never has been equalled, is crit
ically ill in the Institute of Liv
ing here.
Known to generations of fens
as "Gloomy Gil' because of his
doleful, seldom-fulfilled predic
tions of disaster for his teams,
the 68-year-old Dobie has been
a patient at the institute, a pri
vate hospital for nervous disor
ders, for the past three monttis.
Dobie's last coaching assign
ment was at Boston college from
which he retired in 1938. He al
most lost his life in an automo
bile accidenf which followed a
"victory dinner" for his first B.
C. team in 1936. A car in whii;h
he was riding crashed into a
bridge, and Dobie suffered a
brain concussion, a fractured
jaw and deep lacerations.
He turned out 11 undefeated
teams in a row for North Dakota
Agricultural college and the
University of Washington before
he came east in 1917 to coach at
the Naval Academy. Dobie
switched to Cornell in 1920 and
remained there 16 years, turning
out several undefeated teami;,
before he went to Boston college.
"How I could use a boy like that," sighed Johnny Lewis as he
watched Frankie Page perform the other night with the Page
Woolens. The Woolens, hoping for another state AAU title, were
engaged in scrimmaging the Bearcats and as usual .Page came
up with the ball whenever the big oval became a free agent for
a moment. The Willamettes "outstaggered" the Woolens as Lewis
described the finish, but the ball hawking and the shooting of
Page was a feature of the evening's program . . . This year's Bear
cat squad of casaba chasers cannot be classified as giants, but they
do have moderate height. However, the greatest altitude occurs
among the ranks of the freshmen such as Doug Logue the 6 foot
5 youngster from Astoria and Chuck Robinson, 18-year-old Gresh
iiti boy who is four inches over six feet.
The Willamettes include four seniors Bob Johnson, Bruce

man is a junior as is Ted Johnson from Astoria. Other juniors
are Al Fedge of Salem and Pete Bryant of Astoria. Reg
Waters, 6 foot 1 forward, and a transfer from Central junior
college is one of the three sophomores. The others are Dick
Allison, Salem and Neil Richardson, Dallas. Freshmen listed
are Jack Miller, Allan Bellinger and Hugh Bellinger all of
Salem; Richard Brouwer, Portand; Ted Loder, Milwaukie;
Chuck Robinson, Gresham; George Matile, West Linn; Claude
Nordhill, Newberg and Lou Scrivens, Portland.
Milwaukie would like to become affiliated with the Big Six
league or some high school athletic group of equal importance,
we learned from a resident of that community during a recent
fanning bee. It seems Milwaukie high has grown tremendously in
recent years and teams that were formerly in their class have
been a bit hesitant about meeting them. As a result the Maroons Cjnn I l AItl
have been hard pressed to fill out schedules that were well bal- ""'9' Up WITn
anced. Perhaps Milwaukie would stick it out this time if given
a berth in the Big Six or some similar circuit. But, too often high
schools have been anxious to become associtcd with the so
called big time loops when they are strong only to seek other
company when the going gets tough. However, an institution with
an enrollment of better than 1000 should be able tn take care
of itself in most of the scholastic competition of the state.
Emphasis on football has taken the play away from the golf
.. courses In recent weeks but the club swingers may be expected
to come to life shortly. The next event, the "Winter Slicker"
tournament is expected to tee off before or about the middle of
December, at the Salem course. This affair will run for eight
or ten weeks with the contenders operating on a bans of two
men to the team.
At least one manufacturer of athletic equipment is convinced
that the use of plastic football helmets leads to no moie injuries
than those manufactured from leather or other substances. The
matter was discussed at considerable length by the rulr". commit
tee last spring and it was decided then to make definite recom
mendations this winter. The annual reports of the football coaches
committee on injuries show that the percentage of injuries is
exceedingly small. Furthermore, of this small ratio of injuries,
the greater number are to the knees and ankles. These accidents

was the game. Medford, an al

Grants Pass and holder of an

It was Medford that furnished
the most dramatic play, how
ever. Fullback Jack Morgan
