who met th'‘ obstacles, in attempting to

Fall track practice for the University
started yesterday. About ten candidates
were out for the first, session. It JS
planned this year to have all track con
tenders turn out during the entire winter
at least three times a week. Oregon has
always been handicapped in track by hav
ing her men in poor condition at the time
of the spring season. During the good
weather the men will all work out of
doors, and when the rains begins they will
change to the inside track. The weight
men will work out all winter using the
sheds.
A number or cross counrr.v nieii luiii
eel out to begin work Tt* the meet to be
held with O. A. C. nt the time of the

last two boys were members of the fresh
man squad of last year and showed up
well in the distance and middle distance

HARD WORKOUTS FOR
MEN ALL THIS WEEK
I Mautz and Hoisington Battle
For Position on First
String Team.
One more letter man of the last sea
son’s eleven returned to school yester
day and turned out in a suit last night
for the first time. This was Carl Mailt*,
who played a guard position on Hunting
ton’s aggregation last year. Mautz has
been unable to get away sooner but has
decided to stick the year out now.that
be has returned to school. Mautz wan «
bulwark in defense last year and is ex
pected to be a strong addition to the line,
although it is the line that is giving
Coach Huntington the least amount of
worry.
Another man who' played a promising
game in his freshman year on the cam
pus. was Ernest Hoisington. He was a
baekfield man on the frosli eleven and
was also captain of the team in 1915. He
has returned to finish his college career
and will be a contender for a baekfield
berth on the varsity this season. Both
Mautz and Hoisington are going to make
a. hard race for a varsity position and
competition for the first string eleven
gets a little more keen each day.
Tentative Arrangements Made.
Tentative arrangements ore on with
the Multnomah chit) for a game to he
played Saturday, but there appears to ho
a disagreement somewhere, and the dates
have not been closed. Multnomah wants
the game played in Portland while the
Oregon athletic directors want the game
played in Eugene as a preliminary to
the opening of the season. It is possible
that an agreement may be reached before
the end of the week and a game played
here yet. The game for October 1C has
not been definitely arranged as yet. al
though the winged M team Is out of the
question for that date as they have n
scheduled game with the Aggies in Cor
vallis on that day.
The Multnomah aggregation has n
number of former Oregon men on the
squad according to reports from Port
land this fall. Among them are Stan
Anderson, and “Bob” Cosgriff who work
ed under Huntington last year, vres
Maddook who played on the Oregon var
sity in 1017, is also out for a place.
Coach Not Talking Yet.
Coach Huntington is not giving on*
the information as to the line-up in the
Saturday’s game in cake It can he ar
ranged. He stated today that he wou!5
be able to give out some pretty definite
dope on the squad this week. Heavy
scrimmage was the order of .events for
Saturday afternoon and the team worked
at full speedi for a solid hojjr. Hunting
ton and Spellman are both working the
squid overtime in order to get a firs*
string eleven into shape and hard wo'iw
outs are scheduled for every day this
week.
Trainer “Bill” Hayward and his force
of rubbers are beginning to have (hep
hands full since scrimmage began thr
middle of last week and a goodly number
of “charlie houses” and early season
bruises are 'beginning to appear. Tro
serious injuries have resulted yet how
ever and it is hoped that I he team will
not go- into the Idaho game on October
2-‘l with a crippled line-up.
HALL MEETS PRINTERS.
Professor Robert Hall, of the I Di
versity Press went to Portland yester
day to attend a meeting of thu employ
ing printers’ association at the Chamber
of Commerce. Dean E. C. Robbins, of

attend.

Joe Hedges Gave Instruction
in Rescue from Drowning
In Thirty Towns
TRICKSTER UNABLE TO
DECEIVE; FAKE FAILS
JVIan “Going Down For Third
Time” Had Lung Full of
Air, Held Breath.
Field work in water first: aid under
the auspices of the northwestern division
of the American lied Cross constituted
the summer work of .Toe Hedges, a sen
ior in the law school of the University.
Hedges traveled over the major portion
of the states of Oregon. Washington and
Idaho, and gave instruction jn life saving
and qualification tests for life savers in
some 30 towns and cities.
Tim purpose of the work was to visit
those points which had swimming fa
cilities and to give instruction in life
saving. 'Local life saving corps were es
tablished from those who were able to
pass the tests. A local board of examin
ers was usually established so that the
tests might be continued and thereby
keep the local corps of life savers built
mp with new members.
Puget SountU'First Visited.
The Puget Sound district was the first
to be visited by Hedges. From there he
went into eastern Washington, then
northern Idaho, from there down to Lew
iston, Pasco, Walla Walla, Pendleton, La
Grande, and points in eastern Oregon
and southern Idaho.
Several lives are known to have been
saved as a result of the wort. Shortly
after Hedges gave the life saving tests
at Lewiston, a drowning woman was res
cued from the Snake river and resus
citated by one of those who had passed
the test. Another rescue was made by n
life saver who had passed the test tun
two weeks before. He pulled two boys
out of the Columbia up in eastern Wash
ington. Hedges himself assisted In re
suscitating a woman at. American FaTTs.
Fake Fails to Lure.
At Wall,'! Walla a fake drowning was
staged for his benefit, said Hedges. The
man in charge of the tank there asked
him to watch the tank for a short time
while he was'absent. Soon after the man
left Hedges was attracted by a splash
and save a man fully clothed, struggling
in the middle of the tank. lie pulled off
bis sweater and started for the tank but
stopped in suspicion when he saw that
the “drowning” man took good care, to
draw a long breath and avoid swallow
ing any water before he went down ‘for
the third time.” Finding that he was not
to lie rescued the victim swam to the
edge of the tank and crawled out in dis
gust .
Towns in the Willamette valley and
bench r sorts were on the original itiner
ary of the Red Cross hut the cold weath
er in September made further work inad
visable.
