EXTRA INNINGS TAKES 4 ADDITIONAL PERIODS FOR FIRST TEAM TO TROUNCE SECOND SQUAD 25 SQUAD MEN CHOSEN After First Week of Baseball Prac tice, Captain Chandler Begins to Form Teams. The first baseball game of the sea son occurred today on the campus dia mond between the first and second teams. The first team defeated the scrubs 3 to 1, but it took four extra innings in which to do it. The game was scheduled for five innings. At the end of the fifth the score was 1 to 1. The pitchers were too good. A sixth inning passed without score, and the seventh. It was not until the ninth that the squad brought in two runs. Welch pitched for the first until the fourth inning, when he was substitut ed by Fleming. In the same inning Tuerck, pitching for the second squad, was relieved by Street. The line up was as follows: First Team. Second Team. Motschenbacher c.Miller Welch, Fleming ..p.Tuerck, Street Billings.1st.Amey B.

However, this does not mean that no new men will be added. There is still plenty of chance for those beginners who have yet to round into form, if they show up to the class of those already selected. The squad now numbers the follow ing: V. Motschenbacher, L.

RLD NEWS-SEVENTY KILLED BY DYNAMITE BALTIMORE—As the result of the explosion of three hundred tons of dynamite being loaded upon the Brit ish tramp steamer Alum Chine, lying in the lower Baltimore harbor, just off Fort Carroll, about seventy people were killed, and about sixty more were maimed. $600,000 worth of property was destroyed, representing the Alum Chine itself, which was completely destroyed, the tug Atlantic, which tried to rescue the seamen, and which was set on fire and later sank, and the United States collier Jason, which was being built in a nearby ship yard, was raked and riddled with the flying debris. Buildings in Baltimore and the surrounding towns were rocked and damaged by the force of the ex plosion. A Federal investigation has been instituted to determine the cause of the accident, about which there are many conflicting theories. SEATTLE, Wash., March 7.—Ben jamin Stark Pettygrove, the first white child born in Portland, and whose father, Francis W. Pettygrove, was the founder of that city, died in Port Townsend today. The Petty grove family crossed the plains in 1842. EVEN VET IN “DRY" EUGENE LUCKY ONES ARE ABLE TO OBTAIN FREE LUNCH Heusner Demonstrates Ease With Which Expert Can Procure Necessary “Eats.” The sandwich man at the corner of Eight and Willamette streets had just turned over a “Hamburger,” as one William Bates Heusner, of serenading fame, as well as being noted for his pronounced Teutonic origin, sidled up to the counter, and took his place in the waiting line of those celebrating the victory. Bill’s tendency to cast furtive glances around him, stood him to good stead, for before he had even time to think what he wanted, Heus ner found something. Stooping down, Bill was seen to grope hastily underneath the wheels of the wagon. With an air of triumph he tossed a ten cent piece upon the counter, and called for free lunch. WASHINGTON, March 6.—The last official act of Secretary of State Knox was to sign the commission for his successor, while the first official act of the new secretary, Mr. Bryan, was to sign the commissions of the other incoming cabinet members.

With the passing of this sport from the athletic calendar of the Northwest colleges and Universities, the Emerald publishes the first auth entic composite all-Northwest Confer ence basketball team, selected this morning through the votes given the various players by the basketball au thorities of the five Conference insti tutions. Looking back over the season, on the way to Albany, yesterday after noon, Bill Hayward said that the bad record of the Oregon team was due to the injury to Fenton that kept him out of the game. This broke up the team work, and so disorganized the players as to prevent them from be Continued on page two. ooooq*oooo GAMLMA NU ELECTS ' Edith Still.

AGGIE TEAM OVERWHELMED 21-13 IN THIRD ENCOUNTER Phenominal Shooting of Bradshaw, Walker, and Fenton, Out-Classes O. A. C. (By Dutch Young.) CORVALLIS, Ore., March 8.—(Spe cial to the Emerald.)—Playing with brilliancy and accuracy surpassing any previous game, the Oregon bas ketball team completely outplayed and outshot the Aggie five this even ing, winning 21 to 13. Bradshaw, Fenton, and Walker, shot baskets with uncanny skill. Oregon should win again this evening, as the O. A. C. aggregation is literally down and out as the result of injuries and poor condition. Aggies Score First Basket. The game started with the same lineups that faced each other in the two previous games, except that Bur dick went in at forward, and Dewey at guard for O. A. C. The first score came like a flash after the first whis tle, a pretty shot by Burdick. The Aggie roters went wild, but Fenton came back immediately with the first of a number of wonderful overhand shots from the sidelines. The scores began to pile up imme diately. Bradshaw threw two baskets in quick succession from the center of the field, but the Aggies came up with two scores by King. The first half was marked by the calling of six fouls on Stewart’s men, three of which were converted into tallies by Fenton. Cooper replaced Burdick in this half, (Continued on last page.) VARSITY TEAM "COMES BACK” 14-12 IN THURSDAY'S GAME Fenton and Rice Stars in Second Con test of .Series With Corvallis Five. Oregon came back strong in the second basketball game on the local floor Thursday night and defeated O. A. C. for the first time in the history of the two schools by a 14 to 12 score. Due to the work of Referee C. S. Mackay, the game was much faster and better played than the one of Wednesday, in which both teams roughed, instead of trying to shoot baskets. O. A. C. Takes the Lead. O. A C. took the lead from the start and the first half ended 9 to 8 in favor of the Aggies. Thirty seconds before the final whistle, with the score 12 to 10 in favor of 0. A. C., Fenton knocked the ball in the bas ket on a jump off with Darling un der the south goal, and tied the score. Although the game was exciting throughout, the rooting at this point was terrific. The usual five minutes was given in which to play off the tie and with but ten seconds remaining, it looked as though the score would be undecided, when Walker took the ball in the center of the floor and rapidly dribbling, shot the winning basket. The final gun sounded just as the ball was put in play .again. The “rooters” carried the winning team off the floor. Fenton and Rice Are Stars. Cooper starred for O. A. C., while (Continued on last page.) MOUNT, SIMS UNO BRIEDWELL FAKE A HURRIED TRIP TO CORVALLIS Three Are Aided in Their Exploit by Timely Approval of Wendling “Bullet'' Which Adds Realism. “We have to catch this train to Corvallis,” yelled Beanie Mount, Ole Sims, and Paul Briedwell, Friday morning, as they knocked over a few chairs with Dean Walker’s suit case, found just outside the door of Pro fessor A. C. Collier’s 10 o’clock class in Economic Geology. The trio burst into the quiet room, had rushed past the desk of the in structor with the above salutation. Luck was with them, for just as the words were uttered, along came the classiest of all Southern Pacific trains, the Wendling "Bullet.” This added the necessary touch of realism to the situation. This example of heroism on the part of three students, to risk their lives, in order that they might catch the speeding train, was ap proved, and off down the track the trio went—-not after the train, but in search of a nice, quiet place to sit down SPARKLING PROGRAM IS CHORAL CLUB PROMISE GLEE CLUB CONCERT IS MODEL FOR ENTERTAINMENT 24 Women Under Direction of “Icky” Ogden to Give Show Replete With Features.
