BASEBALL PRACTICE STARTS MONDAY,4P.M. Tossers Will Don Warmup Shirts and Remove Kinks in Gym Before Going on Field. PROSPECTS ARE ABOUT NIHIL Five Veterans and no Frosh, Make Dopetsers Wonder „ Who’s Who. JIMMY SHEEHY Varsity baseball candidates, it’s high time you were lifting the lid off that old trunk and pulling out your milldewed warmup shirt, your priceless fielder’s glove with the hole in the center, your spiked shoes, and your trusty 'bludgeon. Coach Bezdek and Captain Anse Cor nell have issued the first call for prac tice next Monday night at 4 p. m. Weather permitting, the squad will in dulge in light hitting ractice and easy warmups on the sodded turf. Should the Tain interfere, the gymnasium will be the mecca for the balltossers. Fitchers and catchers will loosen their arms un der the watchful eyes of Bez, and the in fieldeTS and outfieldeTs will be put to work at sliding, starting and sprinting. “I want to get the boys’ arms and muscles limbered up before going out doors,” said Coach Bezdek. “When we get a good day we can have a game with out subjecting the boys to charley horses and strains.” Prospects—“Well, we haven't any,” to use Bez’s words. Captain Cornell, Nel son, Tuerck, Sheehy, and Grebe are the veterans around which a team must be welded. Grebe is hobbling about on a cane, after a three-months’ siege of ery sipelas. He expects to be in condition within a month to hold down his second base berth. From all appearances, Bezdek expects to shift his men from one position to an other to find out “who’s who.” Lack of numbers and good material makes this a necessity. Every fellow who has worn a pair of baseball shoes will have a chance to disport in the calcium. 0RE6ANA SITUATION PERPLEXES MANAGER Bob McMurray Urges That Non-Subscribers Support Publication. Shall the 1917 Oregana be a pamphlet or a book that Oregon can be proud of? “It is up to the students to settle this question,” says Bob McMurray, manager of the Oregana. “A good book will be put out if a large number of students sub scribe. The staff can and will produce a book that Oregon can well be proud of if they get the proper support. It is necessary to know definitely how many students will subscribe so that the staff will know how much money is available for the book.” University Is Judged by Oregana. A much better book could have been published last year if the staff ctnld have known how much to put into it, ac cording to McMurray. “The University is judged by the Oregana,” continued the manager. “It is widely distributed on the coast and so should be the best that it is possible for Oregon to produce " The Oregana will cost $2.50 until May 1 and after that the price will be $T May Pay by Installments. Payments may be made on the in stallment plan. The first payment of $1.50 should be paid now and the rest can be paid later. The students now sell ing Oreganas are: George Colton, Em mett Rathbun, Walter Hennon, Harold Tregilgas, Harold Maison. Joseph D *nn. Roger Jayne and H. McCulloek. They are also on sale at the Y. M. C. A. $10 cash prize will be given to the man who gets the largest number of sub scribers. The men who make second and third places will get free Oreganas. The books will be delivered about three weeks before commencement. The Ore gana is a University publication this year and not entirely 'under the man agement of the junior class as hereto fore. A. R. Tiffany, graduate manager of the student body will not let th? boo'k go in the hole this year so the money must come in immediately if the Oregana is to be a success. NEW PLEDGES.

SQCGER GAMES OFF, EIERANSJOO IDLE Failure to Practice Faithfully Causes Cancellation, as Was Threatened. CAPTAIN JIMMY SHE EH Y ere will be no soccer games with Multnomah club this year. Coach Colin V. Dyment gave out the above news after last night’s practice, hich four veterans and two recruits had assembled. The varsity had two tentative dates with the clubmen for games on February 19, and 26. Both of these contests will be cancelled and soccer football will rest until next Sep tember. The fate of the association game has beer on the 'coals for over a month. The players, and especially the old men, dis played a decided lack of interest from the outset. Injuries, inclement weather, lack of pep, and a general careless at titude has made the cancelling of the contests necessary. Men Fail to Practice. Spellman, varsity fullback for two seasons, did not turn out all ear, owing to injuries received in- football, coupled with the pressure of his studies. Bill Tuerck, the mainstay of the forward line, appeared in suit on two different occasions. Bill broke down his instep early in the football campaign, which left his feet in a weakened condition. He likes the game, but always dislikes practice. Some ‘miscreant” stole Rath bun’s shoes and jersey, which he said left him in a bad fix for proper soccer wearing apparel. Campbell and Pearson participated regularly, when not other wise engaged. Ralston, Kennon, and Fox showed up far too few times to get into twic old condition. Different Plan Next Year. “I have grown tired of coaxing and nursing the soccer squad along,” said Coach Dyment “We have had two full teams out for practice games only since we started practice. The men knew they had their places cinched and expected to play the games without working. Some of them thought we were bluffing when we threatened to call the games off. I hope this will be a lesson.” “It is against every custom to play with so little preparation. East year we tied Multnomah twice. The club is after revenge this year and would beat us 5 or 6 to 0, if these winless veterans played them now. It would be unfair to University athletics to oppose them with a misfit outfit." A different schedule will be Inaugu rated next year. The season will last two months and a half at most, and the games will be rushed through. This arrangement will do away with weather ponements and indefiniteness of er years, and should arouse far postp forn greater interest in the pastime. WRESTLING SQUAD DIGS 25 lien Work Hard for Dace on Team of Eight to Meet 0. A. C. ling will Out Every man on Ed Shockley’s wrest squad is digging for the tryout which take place on February 18 or 19. of the 25 men at present eight will be dicked to meet O. A. C. on February 26. ‘"]^he boys are working hard”, says Shockley, “and if there is any difference ; they are in a little better condition than | the brea team was last year. I hope we can k even with Corvallis at least. “Registrar A. R. Tiffany is trying to arrange a meet with the Multnomah Athletic association which will probably be held in the near future if he is suc cessful.” TIip names of those chosen in the try will be announced immediately after vent takes place. out the 66 NEW STUDENTS ENROLLED THUS FAR 18 “Old Hands” Back in School Commerce Most Popular Major Subject.

Fifty-four men turned out yesterday in response to Coach “Bill” Hayward’s call for a meeting of the track candidates, in the gymnasium at 4 o’clock. With only a couple of the old men hack, Oregon’s chances do not appear very promising. The coach said that he could only fig ure 18 points for the University in any of the meets scheduled for this season. A number of the: men who turned out are freshmen who, under the new ruling that fears first year men from Varsity athletics are not eligible for this year’s team. It is upon these men that Coach Hayward depends for his next year’s team. LOUISE ALLEN MADE Y. W. G. A. PRESIDENT Membership Banquet Tonight Is First Event of New Administration. The Y. W. C.

The decorations are in light and dark blue, the jubilre colors. “There is to be a fine stunt,” says Miss Gillies. “We are keeping the plan secret, but the stunt will require some ukueles—yes, and tween courses and there are to be bal loons in it. And the girls will sing be have a jolly time gen erally. I dont’ think anyone can fail to have a good time.’!

A feature committee, under the di rection of Genevieve Dickey, is 'prepar ing a stunt that is absolutely new and is intended to be the surprise of the ev ening. Valentines Will Be Promlnelit.

A. C., put a stop to the inter-frnternity hop held in the new men’s gymnasium at Corvallis on Sat urday evening, January 20. At O. A. C. there is a ruling whereby women must be in their rooms by 11 o’clock. When 11 o’clock came around there was still two dances on the program. Dean Fawcett would not allow the orches tra to even play a few bars of “Home, Sweet Home,” and for a few moments it looked as if Ilender shott was going to loose some of his hair. Besides closing the dance, a ban was put on the spotlight dances and the punch was sent to the chemical department • to be analyzed. Apart from these handicaps, the dance went along smoothly. Several Uni versity students attended. FEE'S SUHIS IS SAFE SAYS “BILL” HAYWARD Rumor That “Outlaws” Would Be Declared Professionals Is Scored by Track Trainer. That the University of Oregon dor* not need to worry over the story thaf appeared in the Oregon Sunday Journal concerning the probability of Chester Fee being barred from amateur athlet ics, is the opinion of "Bill” Hayward, physical director and track conch of the University. Action Is Not Justified “I don’t think that the Pacific North west Association is justified in kick ing Fee out of amateur athletics and I don’t think that it will,” Baid Hayward yesterday. “And if the P. N. A. does bar Fee from competing within the ns sociation’s jurisdiction, that will not stop him from entering intercollegiate meets. In the first place, any of the Northwest colleges have too high a sense of honor to allow such a hair-splitting technicality to bar a competitor. In the second place, rule SfT of the Pacific Northwest Intercollegiate conference is as follows: ‘Playing professional teams —it shall not be considered a violation of an amateur rule for a conference team to compete against a professional team, provided that the Faculty Ath letic committee of the institution sanc tion such game or contest.’ Gams Was Sanotloned “The committee sanctioned the game played by the “Outlaws” against the Roseburg high school on January 20. Though the Bigbec brothers, who were signed up with the Beavers at that time, played in the game along with Fee an I others, that does not make Fee a pro fessional because the Bigbee boys hid never received money for playing. “It is a regular practice of profession al organizations to sign up men while they are in college. In that way they are able to keep the man from being taken by other teams. This makes it possible for a man to stay in college and compete in intercollegiate games and at the same time assures the professional organization of their men.” --——— Y. M. HAND-SHAKE FRIDAY “Staggers” to Guzzle “Stickless” Punch and Bantams Will Fight. Punch, doughnuts, apples and a ban tam contest are a few of the items on the program for the entertainment of those who come to the Y. M. C. A. Stag Mix tomorrow night in Villard hall. This mix is scheduled especially for the benefit of the new students who have just entered the University and have not become well acquainted with old students. Bill and Bez Will Talk. President Campbell will lecture on Mt. Shasta from 7:30 to 8. The president spent his vacation there last summer and has many first-hand experiences to tell. Bill Hayward and Hugo Bezdek will speak on track and baseball followed by J. D. Foster and Cloyd Dawson on the Y. M. C. A. Lamar Tooze will probably be on hand to tell something about his recent trip with the Ford peace party. Opportunity will be given to anyone versed in the art of bantam-fighting to attempt to wrest the championship of the University from Johnny Beckett who won the cup in last year’s bout. Bob McMuray, general chairman of arrangements, expects every man in the school to be present tomorrow night and promises a big time to everyone who at tends. Track work at Pomona College has been bald up for the past week because of rain. And yet “our climate” is the slogan in the southern country. HE Will TELL OF MS QUEST FOR PEACE I - I Wanderlustic Search for Golden Fleece Is Given Up by Student “Prexy.” WILL RELATE TALE FRIDAY Favcirs Preparedness and Vol untary Military Drill on Part of Nation and Universities. Lamar Tooze, student body president, returned to the campus Monday morn ing, from his globetrotting expedition, under Henry Ford’s peace bannere. Lamar neglected'to stop any bullets and failed to puncture any mines. He didn’t even get neighborly with a sub marine, but he is loaded with experience and impressions and will talk to the stu dent tody and townspeople tomorrow af ternoon at 4 p. m. in Villard hall. The band will dispense accompaniment. Tooze is even more heartily in favor of preparedness since his return than be fore the trip. lie feels th.it the United States is in danger and endorses Presi dent Wilson's preparedness policy. Ho also favors military drill for tho University of Oregon, but would rather see it! voluntary than compulsory. “There were 42 students in tho party and they were a thoroughly representa tive hunch of fellows,” said Tooze, in discussing the personnel of the party. “I discussed school affairs and oppor tunities with all of them, though, and I am more in love with Oregon than ever. I None of them has anything on us.” Torize is convinced that a great deni of the adverse sentiment toward the expedition in this country can be at tributed to the instructions which tho New York papers gave their men before their departure. lie says: “They were a very capable group of newspaper peo ple, and the lifo of the party, but they were 'after ‘news at any price’ and had to follow their instructions.” Part of the antagonism was aroused by the suppression of details which had to be arranged in so short a time. The expedition was first conceived of when Henry Ford heard Madame Swimmer lecturfe on Peace, November 22, at De troit. . He was sympathetic and en thusiastic and tho Oscar saiied Decem ber 4.1 Mr. Toozo’s talk tomorrow will be the first of a series which he expects to givo before assemblies and chambers of commi'srco throughout Orpgnn.
