FORTY FOOTBALL CANDIDATES
BEGIN SEASON’S TRAINING
—-3
COACH BEZDEK IS PLEASED WITH LARGE EARLY
SEASON TURN-OUT—OLD MEN ARE LATEST
ARRIVALS ON GRIDIRON.
“It is too early in the season to
make any statements concerning
Oregon’s football outlook, but the
number of new men turning out is
encouraging,” said Hugo Bezdek,
Oregon’s new football coach in speak
ing of the first week’s practice.
“I am being delayed somewhat by
the late arrival of the old players. So
far only six letter men have appeared
op the field.”
The side line followers of football,
however, seem more optimistic and
are greatly pleased with the business
like methods used by Bezdek. The
week has been spent in light work,
consisting of punting, handling for
ward passes, and single back field
formations. The daily class in grid
iron calisthenics has not only helped
to condition the men but has afford
ed amusement for the side line spec
tators. A leap-frog relay race once
around the track has been a favorite
stunt with which to end the work.
The squad has increased rapidly
from eighteen men the first evening
to forty the last two night. Captain
Bradshaw, Fenton, Jones, Caufield,
Parsons, and Heusner are the only
letter men who have reported to Bez
dek, but Hall, Cornell, McClelland
and Holden are expected the first of
the week. There is also a possibil-'
ity that Sam Cook will return. Grout j
and Fariss the guards on the 1912
eleven may not be seen in action this
year. Fariss has decided to devote
his. time to Glee club work, while
Grout on account of a heavy sched
ule will not be able to take part in
athletics.
Among the new men Leo Malarkey,
of Columbia University, Richard Nel
son, of Newberg, Lloyd Ross, of Eu
gene High School, and John Beckett,
of Washington High School, have
been making the best showing. All
four are trying for backfield posi
tions.
The squad now consists of the fol
lowing:
Capt. Bradshaw, Jones, Fenton,
Caufield, Heusner, Parsons, Bryant,
Hill, WeiBt, Nelson, Pague, Lieuallen,
Furnell, Malarkey, Spellman, Dud

Geary said:
“During my two years as gradu
ate manager the Student Body debt
has been lowered by five hundred
dollars. The indebtedness of the
Student Body now, exclusive of that
incurred this fall is $1800. When I
took hold of the office, it was $2300.
The first year there was no gain
made for the treasury, as football
proved a lbsing venture and careful
economy in mid-winter and’ spring
sports saved no more than the grad
uate manager’s salary. Last year,
several hundred dollars indebtedness
was paid.
“The prospects of entirely remov
ing student indebtedness under Mr.
Walker this year are very bright to
say the least. The $3 paid by eachI
student for the year tickets added i
Hugh Kirkpatrick of Lebanon, and
Frank Scaiefe of Eugene.

$5000 into the student treasury. This
will pay the gross expenses of basket
ball, track, baseball, inter-scholastic
meet and the expenses of the gradu
ate managers office and a liberal
estimate of a possible glee club defi
cit, leaving all "ate receipts to go
into the treasury and remove the
student debt.
“The football schedule should net
the Student Body $500 or more ac
cording to the weather conditions
and to whether Oregon puts out a
winning team.
