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. Bigbee.2nd.Jones
Cornell ..s. s.Hidden
Anunsen.3rd.Dobie
Kirk.rf.Grout
Mount .cf. Runquist
Chandler ..If.Sidwell
The Varsity squad has been boiled
down from about thirty-five men to
twenty-four. 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. Bigbee,
Tuerck, Welch, Billings, Fenton, Do
bie, Cornell, Anunsen, Mount, Kirk,
Miller, Reed, Fleming, Dorris, Jones,

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.

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

successor, while the first official act
of the new secretary, Mr. Bryan, was
to sign the commissions of the other

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

OREGON BASKETBALL TEAM WINS
TWO EAST CONTESTS FROM 0. A. C.
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,

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

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
