Oregon Daily Emerald Section V VOLUME XXII. NO. 146. ‘AK—_ - _ j Varsity Gets Even; Break In Series With Aggies. bohler had hard task New Infield Developed From Raw Material. Oregon’s baseball nine culminated a season full of vicissitudes of “baseball luck” by defeating the Oregon Agricul tural College aggregation 8-6 last Satur day morning at Corvallis. The game was won by timely hitting, and marked Art Berg’s last appearance in the box for the Lemon-Yellow. The varsity was severely handicapped by the absence of Knudsen, who was unable to make the trip. The victory evened the four-game series with the Aggies, each team taking two. Oregon lost the game Friday after noon by the score of 14-5, the Aggies hitting the offerings of Jacobson and Gray freely and the Oregon infield aid ing the collegians in their pursuit of vic tory by costly errors in the pinches. The teams broke even the preceding week in a double header on the liidge. Many things contributed to the long string of defeats chalked up against the varsity tossers during the season just passed. The election of the baseball eoaeli was delayed through long days of the finest baseball weather, by the ath letic council, which body finally chose] George M. Bohler. Kohler’s task was herculean, that of building a ball team around six letter men, none of them in fielders, from raw material. Not a man of last year’s crack inner defense re turned. so Bohler turned to the frosh material and to last year’s subs and after trying out and sifting all the available men in the earlier games picked them as follows: Base on first, Beller on second, brought Reinhart in from center to plav short, and Svarverud at third. Bill Col lins and “Hube” Jacobberger filled the ♦^FORPt.OTBAU.SEAS™*,. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ ♦ infield utility roles. With Reinhart on short. Johnny Gam , a, CttCr man of ’18- was elected to nold down the middle field job. Don Zim merman was picked for left field, while Homerun” Knudsen was back for his old job in right. The outfield looked pretty good, Johnny Gamble got a lot of hits which made up for his rather erratic fielding, Zimmerman playing his first year with the varsity, played errorless ball in the field, though his stick work was not up to the promise of his fresh man year. In right field, Oregon had a real ball player, Carl Knudsen; not only did Carl accept all the chances that came his way in the field without a bobble, but also proved himself one of the best hitters in the conference, and while bat ting averages are not available for this writeup, it is safe to say that Knudsen pounded the pill for an average well over the .300 mark, including several homers, his specialty being a circuit clout in the first frame with two men on. The pitching staff did not get under way until the latter part of the season. Art Berg was the surest bet and the out standing star among the varsity hurlers - all but one of Oregon’s victories came (Continued on Page 10.) Ml tits SIGNED FOR VARSITY ELE1I Football Squad to Play Two In Hawaiian Islands. OPENER AT WILLAMETTE Brick Mitchell New Addition to Coaching Staff. Eight big football games for the Lemon Yellow gridsters next season will mean a Pretty heavy schedule, but Graduate Manager Beuefiel has been busy arrang ing just such a schedule and with the sauction of the athletic council and Coach - by Huntington in favor of such n schedule. Three of these games are to be played with members of (the Pacific coast conference and two are to be played in the Hawaiian Islands, while another may be arranged with the University of Wisconsin, and in that case it is possible that the University of Washington mav furnish the opposition for a post season game. I he 1021 grid season will be officially opened by Coach Huntington’s proteges at Salem against the Willamette Univer sity eleven on October 1. Two weeks later, Oregon will meet one of the strong est teams in the Northwest conference, the University of Idaho eleven, in Port land. Idaho gave Oregon one of the hardest battles of the 1020 season and the Gem State team will be equally as strong next season. On October 22, Coach Huntington and his squad will travel south to meet the University of California at Berkeley. This will be one of the big games of the season, for California’s success on the gridiron last season has lead them to be lieve they are unbeatable. Conch Hunt ington will use everything he has to beat the Bears next fall, and in spite of the fact that the game will come early in the season for a northern team, he is very optimistic about the Oregon prospects of a victory over the southerners. On November 5. Oregon will travel to The Lemon-Yellow "Big Three7* Above, George; right, Bill; below, Shy. Pullman to meet tlie Washington State College eleven.

Late Rains Hamper Proper Training- For Events. FOUR MEETS ENTERED Northwest Conference Will Close Season. Haiti and bad weather in general which prevented the proper training of the track team to a great extent lies at the bottom of the failure of the Oregon men to make much of a showing this year. Not over two weeks of good weather since the op ening of the season is a handicap which is difficult to overcome, especially since Oregon had not the proper facilities for indoor training. During the greater part of this time Kincaid track was too muddy for use, nud the Hayward track was not completed until recently. So far there have been four varsity meets in which the Oregon team has par ticipated. The first was the relay car nival at Seattle, the second the dual meet with the University of Washington at Seattle, the third with the Aggies at Eu gene, and the fourth was the coast con ference meet at Eugene Junior Week end. There is one meet to come, which will close the season. The varsity will ■ compete in the northwest conference meet at Pullman June 4. Thirteen men made the trip to Seattle for the relay carnival April 23. Teams were sent in the half mile relay, the mile relay, and the two mile relay. Arthur I uck was also sent to represent Oregon in the pentathalon. Art Kuhnhausen, Del Obertcuffer, “Ole” Larsen, and Ros coe Hemenway in the half mile team; “Scan” Collins, Dick Sundeleaf, Tommy W.valt and Ray Lucas in the mile team, and Olenn Walkle.v. “Speed” Peltier.
