Winnfield Boy On First Squad Of Oregon University

University of Oregon, Eugene, June (Special to Winn Parish Enterprise)

Roy Morgan, ex-tackle and fullback on the Winnfield High School football team, 
and now a member of the University of Oregon eleven, is on his way home for
the summer vacation.  Morgan is finishing his first year at Oregon.  He was a
regular on the yearling squad last fall, playing tackle.

This spring, under Dr. Clarence W. Spears, Oregon's new head coach, who
formerly was at Minnesota, Morgan was moved to fullback and did so well that
he won a place on the first squad.

Morgan is registered in the School of Social Science and hopes to become a
coach upon graduation.  He weighs 190 pounds and is growing all the time.  He
may be a 200 pounder by next fall.

The Oregon team has one of the toughest schedules of any eleven in the country
this fall.  It plays Southern California, Washington, Oregon State, Idaho, U.
C. L. A., St. Mary's, and New York University.

Three years ago Oregon played Florida at Miami.  The team was then under the
direction of Captain John J. McEwan, who is now head coach at Holy Cross.
