33 MEN APPEAR FOR BASEBALL MEN WILL PRACTICE IN GYM WHEN WEATHER IS BAD SEASON PROMISES WELL Disadvantage Suffered by Ore gon on account of Delay in Other Sports Will Not Occur in Baseball This Year. Thirty-five men appeared for the first baseball practice of the year. Coach Bezdek has issued his call to all aspirants for the ’varsity to meet in the gym every afternoon at 4 o’clock. Notices were posted to this effect Tuesday and that night alfout 25 men responded. Realizing that so far this year Ore gon's teams have suffered from the fact that they have been from one to three weeks behind the others in tb<e conference, Coach Bezdek has de termined that this will not be the case in baseball—hence the call and the daily practice in the gym, which will be held until Old Sol deigns to come out long enough to evaporate a little of Oregon's saturated atmos phere. The work in the gym consists of elementary training in playing the game. The first lesson consisted of the rudiments of batting with some information on the catching of grounders. in me meantime tne men were kept busy batting, catching and prac ticing on form. This work will be continued by the coach on bai days inside, along with the outside work. The work in the gym will give the men a chance to limber up and give them an opportunity to “feel” the ball. The preliminary work is being done now, and when the outside work starts the squad will be in good shape to get right into the game. The prospects for Oregon’s team this year are exceptionally good. The entire infield, which did such stellar work last year, is back, with an ad dition of several “prep” school stars, and it is prophesied that a nice little battle for positions is going to take place for some of the infield posi tions. It is believed that a general shaking up of last year's line-up will take place, and it is probable that some of the infielders of last year will be moved to the yutfleld. Both the center and left field posi tions are open this year since the graduation of last year’s captain, Ben Chandler, and Wallace Mount. The men filling their shoes will have a big job on their hands, for two better fielders are hard to find. Both were noted for their speed and abili • ty to catch anything that came into their corners of the lot. Few of the last year’s team were out last night. Captain Fenton is now busy with basketball, and so will be unable to participate until the heavier games are over with. Wednesday night Coach Bezdek gave orders that from now on every day that it is not raining too hard the squad will report on the field. Light practice will be held. On the bad days work will be done in the gym. Among those out Tuesday and Wednesday nights were: Amunsen, Billings, Motschenbacher, Kirk, Tuerck. Fleming. Buck Bigbee, Nel son Hughes, Stannard, 10. Uunquist, White, Williams, Coshow, K. Knn qulst, Gorman, Carson Bigbee, Dun bar, Holcomb and Anderson. WEEKLY TEA AT Y. W. C. A. T<> Promote Acquaintance and <;»km1 Fellowship Among Students. Afternoon tea onee each week at tile \ . ('. A. bungalow is the aim of plans which the Advisory Board of the association is now formulat ing with the co-operation of Mrs. 1‘. L. Campbell. It is proposed to make the func tions self-supporting by fixing a nominal charge for refreshments. The surplus, if any. will go into the Y. \\\ C. A. treasury. The main purpose of these teas is to promote acquaintance and good fellowship among the students, and it is expected that men as well as women will take part. 22-MEN EMPLOYED ON j CAMPUS COST $15,840 j Salaries of Employes Are From j $50 to $70 to Each Man Figures given out by the Superin tendent of Grounds, Mr. H.

STUDENTS USE QUART OF INK EACH MONTH Fines From Books at Library Offset Minor Expenses The students, who go into the University library to fill their pens between classes, consume on an av erage, a quart of ink each month, according to M. H. Douglass, the University librarian. 'We estimate that the fines re ceived from the students on books overdue, is enough to offset the ex pense of the little extra things, such is ink, and the lead pencil sharpener, which we place at the disposal of the students,” said. Mr. Douglass, in speaking of this custom yesterday. The custom, which has been ob served for about three years, was first started by the students’ use of the ink placed on the desk for the librarian, until, finally, an inkstand for the especial use of the students was provided. "This is not a universal custom,” said Miss M. C. Upleger, "for in many places in the east the students are allowed to use no ink whatever while in the libraries.” MISS FOX OF Y. W. C. A.
