coma to Pittsburg in One
Season.
Has Batted .320. Stolen 12
Bases. Is Second Willie
Keeler.
From a class B league team to a ma
jor league berth in one season is the
meteoric rise of Carson Bigbee, Oregon's
infielder of two years ago. “SkecterV
jump into prominence has been the talk
of baseball followers the pnst month.
“Skeet" went south witli Portland last
spring and was farmed out to Tacoma.
Tie played such brilliant ball in the
Northwestern league that toward the
close of the season Pittsburg bought him.
On the day of his arrival in the
Smoky City “Skeet” was forced into the
game by an injury to one of the outfield
ers. In his rush across the continent lie
had left his shoes behind and had to wear
a pair of Hans Wagner’s. Even with
this handicap he broke into the head
lines with three hits off Tesreau and a
couple of sensational catches. The next
day lie followed with more spectacular
stunts. The fans went wild over the

new recruit and Manager Callahan sta
j tinned him regularly in left field.
The best pitchers in the league hold
i no terrors for Nkeet and he hits them all
! impartially. In the one month he has
been playing his batting average is
around .1520, a goodly number of his hits
I being extra-base clouts, lie has stolen
112 bases.
The eastern writers herald him as a
[ second Willie Keeler. As an evidence of
[what they think of him the following is
! from the New York Sun:
“Leader Callahan, who has unearthed
several young players of undoubted (null
ity and is building up a team that will
cause plenty of trouble next year, intro
duced Carson Higbee, known as ‘the Ty
Cobb of the Northwest,’It) the metro
politan -critics yesterday. Higbee came
to the Ideates as an outfielder, but Calla
han put him on second base several days
ago.
"Higbee covered that important posi
tion in the double-header and pulled off
some sterling plays. lie handled six
chances without an error in the first com
bat, his stops of crashing drives from the
bats of Cutshaw and I’feffer preventing
the scorers from recording base hits.
Higbee also played superbly behind Ma
maux. accepting seven hard chances
without a blemish.
"In the third inning he knocked down
a drive from James Johnston’s stick and
recovered in time to throw the latter
out, Wheeler Johnston making a one
handed catch. Higbee followed this great
play with dazzling stops and throws
which robbed Duubert and Stengel of
base hits in the same period. Higbee’s
running catch of Miller’s twisting fly in
short right near the foul line killed a
possible two-bagger in the seventh. Hig
her is not a big man physically, but he
certainly can play baseball.”
"Nkeet” will be back in Eugene the lat
ter part of this week if he doesn't stop
over to see the world series.

SQUAD SEES GAME
“Bez” and His Team Watch
0. A. C. and Multnomah
Play Ball.
Aggie “Rooks” Seem to Furnish
' Majority of Team’s
Speed.
_ i
“Just to break the monotony of train- ,
ing.” as Coach Bezdek put it, the Oregon
football squad took a trip.to Corvallis
Saturday to watch how the Aggies went
about humbling the Multnomah Club
team. “We enjoyed the trip, the day, 1
the weather and the game,” Baid Bezdek. !
“It was a good game. It was a great j
game,” he said, “but aside from that I j
can say very little.”
As to the relative ability of the teams ■
as compared with the first showing they
made last year Bezdek could not well ;
say, since he did not see the teams in !
action until later in the season of last j
year. However, from some of the team ■
boys, the impression was gathered that
the boys who showed the speed on the
Aggie team, were freshmen, hence in
eligible to compete in conference games.
“They kept changing the men around
and putting in new men continually,”
said Dudley, who with others on the
training table, made the trip Saturday.
“It seemed that the greater part of
these men were freshmen. While O. A.
C. is this year using the quarter-back
play, a fair sprinkling of the plays na
turally are the direct pass.”

in full force. “We are giving spec
ial attention to Oregon songs and though
all of them will not be in shape for the
Willamette game we will give the team
all the support we can," says Director
Albert B. Perfect.
Band prospects are very good this
year according to Mr. Perfect.
Two concert trips are being planned.
One to Coos Bay will probably take
place during Thanksgiving vacation. An
offer for Christmas vacation has been
made by Medford, Ashland and other
southern Oregon towns. Twenty people
will be taken on these trips.
“The band is practically a new or
ganization this year and we need all the
support that we can get,” said Mr. Per
fect.
