PROSPECTS GOOD 1 FOR omul Five Lettermen Practicing* Under Reinhart STRONG TEAM EXPECTED! More Men Looked for at End of Doughnut Series By Ward Cook While no predictions are made as yet that Oregon will have a Coast champion basketball squad, yet the indications point to a strong, fast aggregation of which great things may be heard before the curtain falls for the end of the basketball sea son. Oregon has always been a stumbling block for the other con ference quintets and may, with an even number of the breaks and with1 old mother fortune smiling oppor tunely, come out somewhere near the top of the pile. With the selection of Bill Rein hart as varsity coach, Oregon has se cured a man who has played the game under the Bohler system and '(vho can put the finishing touches upon the lettermen of last year, who learned the game under that system. Bill was an Oregon star hooper for two or three years and so knows all the Oregon traditions of spirit and fight, and these qualities he will in still in his players. One thing Ore gon fans can look forward to this year will be a team who will possess the old fight and comeback so neces sary to a winning aggregation. Eighteen Men Out At present about eighteen men are turning out daily for Varsity prac tice, and several more are looked for at the finish of the doughnut leagues’ schedules. Gowans, Ed lunds, Rockhoy, Shafer, Alstoek are tho lettermen who have turned out, 'while Latham and Chapman will join the squad as soon as football season closes. These men will form the nu cleus of this year’s aggregation, but will have to work hard to hold their places on the squad' because of the number of strong players who are battling for a place on the squad. The others who are striving for places include King of tho frosh team two years ago, Stoddard, Far ley, Hobson and Mautz of last year’s freshmen, Gillenwaters and Meyers. At least a half dozen moro are expected out as soon as the dough nut season is over. Tho practice at presont is ionsist ing of a thorough drill in the funda mentals of the game. Bill is putting the men through their paces in pivot ing, dribbling, passing, chocking and shooting and will continue with this daily routine at least uutil after the Thanksgiving holidays. Then the squad will probably divide up and scrimmage will bo the order of the day. Team to Make Trip A barnstorming trip is being plan ned again this year to bo taken dur ing the Christmas holidays. Five or six games will bo scheduled for this trip, with the strongest independent teams in Oregon. While no certain contests have been arranged as yet, games will probably be played with the Multnomah club, North Pacific Dental college, Columbia club of Astoria and other teams of a like ORDER OF “0” TO HAVE OWN SECTION AT GAME Aggies to Sit in North Bleachers, Women of Both Schools Will he in Covered Stand A special section of the newly constructed bleachers which aro built in front of the grandstand, has been reserved for the grads who are mem bers of the “Order of the O.” The former Oregon athletes will parade around the track and then take their stats in this section. It is expected that there will be about 200 “Order of the O” men at the game. There will be five entrances for tht^ grandstand ahd nix jfor the bleachers. Entrance number one will lead to the newly constructed bleacher just south of the grand stand. Entrance two leads to the south of the grandstand, while three, four and five enable one to go to the grandstand via the front route. Number six is on the north of the grandstand. The Oregon and O. A. C. women will occupy the covered bleachers which are north of the grandstand. The Oregon women wilt be seated on the south, going through en trance seven, and the O. A. 0. co-eds will go in by way of number nine. The north end bleachers are general admission and number nine should be used in reaching these seats. O. A. C. rooters will occupy two sections of the north-east bleachers. Entrance 10 will be used. Oregon rooters will occupy the rest of tire seats. The students will bo able to reach these seats by only one en trance, this is number 11, directly back of the east bleachers. nature. Last year the team won all t>f its barnstorming contests but one, losing to the Columbia club in a fclose game. A trip of this kind af fords the team a chance to develop 'teamwork by playing together against the strongest teams with ■which games can be arranged. The steady grind of playing a game every night; gives the players a chance to get in the best possible 'condition, aids in getting their eye on the basket consistently, and put them on edge for the beginning of *thc coast and northwest conference season contests. “Hunk” Is Eligible ' Latham, all-Pacific Coast center last year, should have another good year and repeat his splendid and jConsistent playing. Chapman and Shafer formed a guarding combina tion last year that caused the op posing teams some difficulty in breaking through and they should be even better this year. Oregon will miss Zimmerman, the fast for ward of last year, who hooped them so consistently, but with such letter men back as Oowans, Rockhey, Ed lunds and Alstock, together with other fast candidates for forward berths, should have an exceptionally fast and clever set of forwards cap able of finding the basket with some regularity. "However, the prospects point to an exceptionally good year in basket ball on the coast, with nearly all of the conference schools promising formidable teams. It should be a battle royal to decide the champion ship this year and there will be com paratively few setups on which the winner may fatten their percentage. So, if Oregon should pull through with a northwest or possibly a coast championship this year, it will be a very well deserved one. FOOTBALL MACHINE READY FOR CONTEST (Continued from page one) boon copied by several of the teams in the north west, when they go into one of the mud-walking contests that used to be so common here. Bill, when the oecasion requires it can de vise special shoes for any one. In one instance, having an open field runner of unusual ability, he rebuilt an old pair of track shoos until they served as football brogans. This open field runner sinco has carried many columns of favorable writeups in the different papers of the Paci fic coast. Mr. Hayward has charge of the Jt aining table and the conditioning f the men on the trips. When Bill’s eagle eye can flash a scare into a hssky lineman so that he turns down a second helping of steak—it must j*oo conceded that Bill has a bad eye and a mean stare. Bill spins yarns and heartens the men when “The old dobbers droop,” but he actually seems happiest when he is scheming how to fix somo new type of apparatus that will enable an injured man—who, if lie was play ing any other game of life, would probably bo in a hospital somewhere —to go into a game and fight like Oregon men liavo a habit of fight ing. NATIONAL PLAYEKS ARE INCREASING ON COAST Mask and Dagger, local dramatic society on the Washington State college campus, has been installed as the tenth chapter of the National Collegiate Players. The national organization is of high dramatic standing and has chapters in the larger colleges and universities of the west and middle west. The eleventh charter has been granted to the Oregon Agricultural College. UNIVERSITY DIAMOND NEARING COMPLETION Field Located South of Hayward; Grandstand and Bleachers to be Constructed The new University baseball dia mond will be completed some time in the latter part of the winter term. It has been under the process of building for almost two months. It will be located south of Hay ward field and will be placed so that the entire outside athletic fields and courts will be in the same part of the campus. The new tennis courts to the extreme north, then Hayward field, with the cinder track, and the gridiron and south of that the new baseball diamond. Home plate will be in the north west corner and the outfield in the semi-circle that the workmen have cut out of the small hill to the south. The diamond is so graded that it slopes four ways from the pitcher’s box, which will give it the best possible drainage system. Drain pipes have been put in the ground which was formerly marshy, but these, with the filling of dirt and the grass on the diamond itself, will make it an ideal ground. Along the west side of the dia mond the bleachers and grandstand will be constructed. The size and cost of the proposed grandstand have not been announced, but they will probably be larger than those that were beside the old diamond south of Kincaid field. Owing to the inclemency of the weather, only a small crew of men have been working on the field, but, with the beginning of spring weath er, the work will be pushed. Prac tically all that remains to be done is the grading and leveling of the out field and the building of the grand stand and bleachers. The infield is practically completed and only needs finishing up. ROBBERS DELAY CHECKS Vouchers for Cadets’ Pay Thought Burned in S. P. Holdup Juniors and seniors In the military department who have failed to receive their checks for the summer have learned that the holdup of the South ern Pacific train in the tunnel near Medford last month is the probable cause of the delay. The vouchers for the checks were sent from B. O. T. C. headquarters at the University the day before the holdup and were never received at the ninth corps area head quarters in San Francisco.. After several weeks had passed and no reply came from the vouchers, Sergeant Frank Agule wrote to the San Francisco office requesting an ex planation of the delay. It wag sug gested in the reply which he received that the vouchers might have been burned in the mail car at the time of the holdup. Due to the fact that the robbery occured so soon after the letter was mailed it is thought that this was what occured. HEMSTITCHING Pleating and Buttons. Pleated skirts a specialty.
