UNIVERSITY OF OREGON VOL. XII. EUGENE, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 28, 1910 No. 2 COACH WILL TRAIN MEN ON FIRST PRINCIPLES PROSPECTS OF VICTORY NOT VERY BRIGHT AT PRESENT Coach Warner Confronted With Taste of Developing a Team From Raw Material, Largely. Forty men drilling for two hours on the rudiments of football is the spec tacle presented every night on Kincaid field. Already some advance is shown know practically nothing, while the freshmen are beginning to learn that they know less than nothing. All are showing a willingness for work that presages well for the future of the 1910 team. Coach Warner, in speaking of the squad, said: “I was never before in charge of a squad of men composed to such a large extent of entirely green men; men who have had no prep, school training whatever. The men, however, are willing to work and they show the right fighting spirit. It is this fight ing spirit that must win the games. The first part of the season must be devoted almost entirely to teaching the funda mentals of the game to the raw re cruits. It will be impossible to get any de finite line on Oregon’s chances until after the game with the Alumni which takes place a week from Saturday. The Alumni team will be composed entire ly of all nothwest men. The result of a game between these stars and War ner's recruits will be watched with anx iety by those who hope for Oregon’s success.
