Those "Tall Firs'
ASIDE from the glory they have
brought to the state, there's
something that brings a heart-throb
from the performance of those uni
versity kids who Monday evening
climaxed a great basketball season
by annexing the first basketball
championship of the National In
tercollegiate Athletic association.
These boys have been called the
"Tall Firs" on occasion. That name
is symbolic. It seems to fit a squad
of real Oregonians, representing a
state where the tall firs sway proud
ly in the breeze as they do in no
other state.
When final basketball history is
written, Gale, Wintermute, Johan-
son, Anet and Dick will stand among
the great of all time. They played a
lot of basketball this year, what with
13 pre-season games, 16 games in
the regular Pacific Northwest con
ference season, two games, to defeat
California for the coast leadership,
two more to take the western crown
from Texas and Oklahoma, then this
last victorious conquest of Ohio
State, pride of the east. The five
boys didn't do it all, but they had
the brunt of the work, And while
one, Wintermute, came from just
across the river in Washington, the
squad is mostly home-grown, and
all are from right among the firs.
To Coach Howard Hobson and his
"Tall Firs," we say well done.

The Call of the Flag
By FREDERICK C. HICKS
THE Flag of America does more
than proclaim mere power or ac
claim a great and glorious history.
Its folds wave a benediction to the
yesterdays of accomplishment and
beckon the tomorrows or progress
with hope and confidence; it heralds
the noble purpose of a mighty people
and carries a message of hope and
inspiration to all mankind. Its glow
ing splendor appeals to us to de
mand intematonal arbitration; it
commands us to self sacrifice, which
alone can maintain equality of rights
and fullness of opportunity in our
Republic.
Its stars and stripes voice the
spirit of America calling to a na
tion of indomitable courage and in
finite possibilities to live the tenets
of Christianity, to teach the gospel
of work and usefulness, to advance
educaton, to demand purity of
thought and action in public life, and
to protect the liberties of free gov
ernment from aggression of despotic
power.
This is the call of the Flag of the
Union.
