lkag KD. FALL SPORTS VVith all of the fighting deter- mination that has ever made Uni- versity's athletic teams so colorful, even in their hours of defeat, the Blue and Gold squads, engaged in various branches of fall sports, started the 1926 season with a de- gree of enthusiasm seldom matched in the schoolts history. Football, the crowning glory of the Ameri- can athlete, occupied the stellar role in the sporting drama enacted during the current season. Solid support from the student body, plus the exceptional caliber of the Cub teams, helped to make the season one of the most success- ful University has ever known. All doubt of the existence of the fam- ous 'cold schooli' spirit was ban- ished from pessimistic minds by the showing made by Universityis 1'ep- resentatives in the field of athletics. FOOTBALL Carrying on the high standards of sportsmanship established by his predecessor, Mr. Percy Locey, Coach Elwood Mose', Lyman, star three-letter man of the Ore- gon Aggies, rapidly gained a high point in every studentis estimation. ltluch of the success attached to the sporting season belongs to Coach Lyman, who has labored earnestly to guide the Cubs to league leader- ship. lVIr. Lymanis work was greatly assisted by the large turnout of capable gridmen. The entire first team was composed of members of last year's 130's, or transfers from other schools' last yearis teams. This showing of experienced men was especially gratifying to the new mentor. TECHNICAL HIGH Tech's mighty battlers of the gridiron, so long and so completely on top of the O.A.L., came down a couple of pegs when University, with a light but powerful team and a fighting heart, beat them 6-0. For many long years have the other members of the league bat- tled unsuccessfully to down the Purple and Gold, and now Univer- sity, who was once the official un- fContinued on Page 285 24

ELWOOD MOSE LYMAN Hold 'im, Mose! Wfe know you can! Seldom, if ever, l1as a U11i- versity coach been so color- fully introduced to the student body, but the faith that VVhit Henry referred to has been well justified by the work of Elwood Lyma11, U 11i- versity's foot- ball coach, a11d formerly a star i11 athletics at Oregon Agri- cultural College. The gi ant Aggie, known affectionatey by his close friends as g'lNfIose,,' came to this school with a hard task set before him, that of filling tl1e place left vacant by for- m e 1' C o a c h Coach Loceyls P1'0I11OtlOl1. But it seems that tl1e high standard of work established by lNI1'. Locey, also a11 O.A.C. star, is more or less of a common thing among tl1e gradu- ates of that university, and tl1e state of Oregon certainly sent the pick of her sportsmen to coach the Bue and Gold. F o 1' t h r e e years lNIr. Ly- 1 ' 1nan's work was l one of tl1e fea- 1 tures of tl1e bas- ketball team, his height a11d build, plus a wealth of natural ability, made him one of the outstanding members of the s q u a d. T h i s training in the hoop game will mean a whole lot to Unive 1' s i t y I1CXt s p rin g, when the C ub quintet attempts to repeat their pennant - win- nin g perform- a11ce of 1925. On the football team he played guard and cen- ter, and his suc- cess at coaching the Blue and Gold grid squad is ample proof of his ability in that Lyman respect. Coach Iiyman has endeared himself for all time i11 tl1e hearts of University students because of his splendid character and genial disposition. 25
