NINE PITCHERS
OUT FOR PLAGES
Three ^ettermen Included
Aithong Aspirants
FORM IS EMPHASIZED
Latham May be Utilized
in Mound Position
With infield and outfield pros
pects fairly bright for so early in
the season, Coach Reinhart, base
ball mentor, is devoting most of
the practice time these afternoons
to developing his large corps of
pitching aspirants. Instructions in
the wind-up, delivering the ball
and general pitching form is being
emphasized strongly with the hope
that some strong hurlers can be
trained before the opening of the
season.
Thus far, the pitching staff is
great in quantity but somewhat
dubious in quality. Altogether,
there are nine mem trying out for
positions as moundsmen. Three of
these have won their letters in the
box. yet each of the three have
probably been wore valuable in the
past as fielders and hitters • rather
than pitchers. The trio in question
are Doug Wright and Phil Ringle,
right, and “Skipper” Brooks, south
paw.
wngnt veteran Player
Wright was used on the mound
during tho past two varsity sea
sons, yet his record of wins is not
impressive. In fact, his hitting and
fielding ability was so superior to
his pitching that Coach Bohler used
him regularly in the outfield last
year. He is a heavy hitter and
an outfielder, who covers much
ground. If he fails to develop as
a flinger, it is fairly certain that
he will be used in the outer gardens
to good advantage.
Kingle performed on the mound
for the varsity two years ago. He
is a capable pitcher when he is
“right,” but his great weakness is
lack of control, a weakness which
Coach Reinhart, with the assistance
of Fred Harrison, ineligible heaver,
are trying to rid him of. v
Brooks’ Curve Effective
Brooks, the third of the trio, is a
southpaw with an effective curve
ball and considerable speed. He
was very effective for several inn
ings in tho games last year, but
seamed to tire in a full session. By
learning more about the art of
pitching, the prospects are that he
will be able to stay a full game
and finish strong. He is one of
the best of the prospects at present.
In addition to the three letter
men, there are six now men making
their bid for the box, Pil, Greene,
Sausser, Latham, T'oolo. and Wil
liams. Pil was the regular twirler
for Pacific college two years
ago, and is said ot have had some
experience in semi-pro ranks. He
possesses a fair assortment of
curves but lacks speed. Greene and
Sausser both were strong pitchers
in the doughnut league last spring.
They both possess speed and some
“stuff,” lacking only experience.
Latham is playing his third year
of varsity baseball, during the pre

PUBLIC TASTE FAVORS
CLASSICAL NUMBERS
Jazz Music Arouses only Mild Enthusiasm
Declares Orchestra Director
That popular taste is inherently
good in music, contrary to popular
opinion, was one of the interesting
facts discovered by the University or
chestra . on its recent tour, said Rex
Underwood, director of the organiza
tion. A consistently high standard
of music was upheld in the programs,
and everywhere the best numbers were
the best received.
“We used a little jazz, mostly for
advertising purposes,” he continued,
“and we found an interesting thing.
In every case the jazz selection was
near the end, and after an evening
of higher class music, only a mild
enthusiasm was aroused by the jazz.”
The fact that the territory covered
this year was new, and that most of
the towns had never before heard an
orchestra, made more striking their
reactions to the type of music offered
to them. There were some light num
bers, but these all were high class
light music. In many of the towns
comments were made of appreciation
of the high musical worth. Some ex
pressed surprise that there was no
catering to vaudeville, as is usually
the case with college entertainments
traveling over the state.
“The members of the orchestra,
considering their relative inexperience,
worked faithfully and efficiently,”
said Mr. Underwood. Several of the
members of the orchestra are fresh
men, and many of them had never
heard an orchestra before coming to
the University. Their efforts have
been consistent since the beginning of
the year, and they have attained a
creditable degree of excellence.
An accident which seemed at first
unfortunate, but which ended by be
ing an interesting opportunity, oc
curred at Hood River. The orches
tra arrived shortly before time for
the concert, and discovered at the
last moment that their baggage had
not arrived. With the audience as
sembled, Mr. Underwood sent Frank
Jue out on the stage to sing, and in
the meantime he improvised a com
plete evening’s program of solos and
quartettes.
vious two seasons he was used
regularly in the infield and only
occasionally in the box. His great
height should make him an ideal
pitcher, but he also suffers from
lack of control. However, there is
a likelihood that he too may develop
this year. If not, he is a valuable
first sacker.
Toole and Williams, also are
doughnut league veterans. Toole
played a utility role for the frosh
nine last year, mostly in the out
field. He did some pitching in high
school, however, and may be tried
in the box this year. He is a
southpaw.
Williams tried out for the fresh
man pitching staff last spring, but
had little ehancfcj to work (with
two such good hurlers as Fred Har
rison and “Fuzzy” Carson compet
ing with him. His great asset is
speed.
House Managers Learn to
Fool Tastes of Finicky
Miss Tingle Says to Disguise
Onions and Call it Fricassee
House managers, under the super
vision of Miss Lilian Tingle, held
their weekly meeting yesterday
afternoon in the Household Arts
building.
Miss Tingle pointed out the fact
that the people in the houses who
have so many likes and dislikes
have created quite a problem.
Try to fool these people, she sug
gested, for one can easily combine
the much disliked vegetables such
as onions and carrots with meat
and they will think it delicious. In
other words, call it stew and they
