[edit] Early career
Callison played college football at Oregon from 1920 to 1922.[1] He then became the head football and basketball coach at Medford High School, leading the boy's basketball team to Oregon state championships in 1924 and 1929.[2][3]
[edit] Ducks head coach
The Ducks hired Callison in 1932. In 1933, he coached the Ducks to a 9-1 record and a tie for the Pacific Coast Conference championship with Stanford. Since the two schools did not meet head to head, the decision of which team would play in the Rose Bowl had to be made by the committee. They chose Stanford, on the strength of the school's victory over USC, the only team to have beaten Oregon that year.[4]
1933 would be Callison's best year as the Ducks finished no higher than fourth in the next four seasons. He resigned after the 1937 season.[3]
[edit] Legacy and death
Callison died in Laguna Hills, California in 1986.[5] He was named to the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame in 1981.[6]
