Coach Specially Training in Hitting and Fielding INFIELD SEEMS STRONG First Game Will be May 3 With Washington High With 25 candidates turning out daily the freshman baseball squad is beginning to take shape. Coach Earl has been putting the men through some hard workouts in or der to whip them into shape and get a line on the prospective ma terial. It is a little early yet to dope out just how the team will shape up, or who will be at the re spective positions. However, with the men working as they are, Earl will probably start pruning down the squad in the next few days and picking those who will be carried on .the first squad during the sea son. The first game for the frosh crew as it has been arranged to date is scheduled with the Washington high school team of Portland, to be played here on May 3. This gives the green-cappers nearly three weeks to get in the pink for the opening contest. The second game is also to be played here on the home diamond against the Salem High nine, on May 16. The only other four games scheduled are the - regular exchange series to be play ed with the O. A. C. Books. Books Here May 24 The first game will be played at Corvallis on May 23. The Books come over here on the 24th in the return gam,e. Th,e Babes go to Corvallis again for the third game of the series on the 29th, while the final contest is played here on Saturday the 31st. Only six games are on the freshman schedule as it has been drawn up, however, all of the games are billetted with strong teams and the season should prove to be a hummer for the babes. “Hank” Foster has been assist ing Earl in coaching the first year men and the two have beep in structing them in the rudiments of the game, st»esaing especially hit ting and fielding. Some very cap able sluggers are showing up among 'the candidates, and a hard hitting nine is in prospect. Fast Infield Expected The infield as it is mow com posed, looks to be a fairly strong one. Rex Adolph seems to hold the edge over the other candidates for the job of holding dopm the ini tial bag. Christenson and Wright man are the leading aspirants for second baseman honors. Shortstop lies between Kiminki and Miller. Both are covering a lot of ground and fielding their position well. Dallas has been used the most at third, and seems to handle himself in a capable manner around the hot corner. There are a number of other men trying out for infield berths, who might break into the lineup. As far as can be told in an early sea son diagnosis, the frosh will have a fast, fair fielding infield with a consistent punch. Catching Crew Good The squad is especially well sup plied with catchers. Three capable backstops have been used in prac tice during the past day or two. Lynn Jjones is| making a Strong bid for the position, and is not only receiving well but is using the stick in a capable way as well. Mim naugh who used to catch for Jef ferson high, also stands in a fair way to do the backstop honors. The third member behind the bat is Marsh, who may also get a chance j to work. i The hurlers are more or less of j a doubtful quantity as yet. Four | pitchers have been working out in ^ .the box, but none of them have been able to show anything to class them as college caliber. Kim-, inki, Dave Adolph, DeLassus and [ Strickland have shown the most | stuff so far. Shulte, a promising twirler, was forced to leave school Monday because of the illness of his mother. It is not known yet whether he will return this quarter or not. He has twirled high school ball around San Francisco bay and has lots of speed and plenty of stuff. If he returns, he should bol- I ster the staff considerably. Tossens Showing up wen The outfield appears to be well taaken care of with a number of fast players trying out for the outer gardens. “Pete” Brooks, Frank Reinhart, C. Johnson, Lee and Russell have beem snagging the long drives in good shape in practice. All of them have good reputations as hitters in high school ball, and have been finding their batting byes to gool advan tage in battifg practice. Unless hard luck hits the frosh tossers, they should have a strong aggrega tion lined up to start the season, when they meet Washington high her* May 3. D'YMENT TO ENTER SOUTHERN HOSPITAL Disease Contracted from Refugee Children During War to Be Treated Dean Colin V. Dyment, accom panied by Mrs. Dyment, will leave Eugene on Friday morning. He has written to a specialist in Berkeley California, that they will report at his office Monday morning. They expect to enter a convalescent hos pital in Berkeley on Monday eve ning or Tuesday morning to receive treatment for amoebic infection. Patients with the amoebic infec tion commonly remain in the hos pital about three weeks. If they have not suffered too much in the ■ treatment, they can leave the hos j pital, but active treatment con ' tinues for another three weeks. During this time, however, the patient having become immunized to the severe regiine of the first three weeks, does not necessarily ; remain hospitalized. There is a succeeding period of , occasional treatments which varies with the extent of the infection. t Thereafter comes a period of from four to ten weeks in which the toxaemia caused by the massacre of innumerable amoebae is wearing off. The patient by that time has then been restored to his old time vigor. The principal among several drugs used in elimination of the amoebic infection is emetine, a de rivative of ipecac, although ipecac is also taken “straight.” Mrs. Dyment is believed to have contracted the infection from the thousands of refugee French chil dren whom she treated medically, and in hundreds of cases operated on for tonsils and adenoids at her ! medical station in Blois, the far j famed “Blooey” of the American ; army during the recent war. These _ I children in many instances had just come from areas back of the fight j ing lines where they probably be ! came infected through the presence in those regions of many fighting ! divisions and labor battalions from the tropics of Asia and Africa. Dean Dyment was present at mili tary operations both in the Argonne j and in Flanders in territory that had been frequented by colonial i troops from the tropics with the result that both water and soil be came affected. Dr. W. K. Livingston of the Uni versity health service has returned after spending a week in the labor atories of Dr. C. A. Kofoid, the noted protozoologist of the Univer sity of California, in whose labora tories about six hundred examina tions a month are made for the amoebic infection, the California state board of health cooperating somewhat in this work. Since Mr. Dyment returned with an account of Dr. Kofoid’s researches in the field of pathogenic animal organ isms several Northern physicians have decided to go to Dr. Kofoid for instruction in the diagnosis and identification of the amoeba. The University of Oregon medi cal school may install a laboratory simila> to the one maintained by Dr. Kofoid for public service in the Pacific. Northwest. From his ob servations among ex-service men around San Francisco bay, Mr. Dyment believes the infection to be fairly common in Oregon, al though- it has been identified in comparatively few cases. Mr. and Mrs. Dyment will motor south. They expect to return to Eugene by the end of July. ❖ o STUDENTS WHO WILL APPEAR IN DANCE DRAMA ON APRIL 23 WALTER EVANS KIDD SELLS SHORT STORY A short story, “The Canyon of Storm,” has been sold by Walter Evans Kidd, sophomore in journal ism, to Street and Smith, publishers of a number of current magazines.

Colonel Sinclair’s Plans Are Favored by Officer After an inspection of the class work and drill of the local R. O. T. C. unit and a review of Colonel Sin clair’s plans fdr next year, Lieuten ant Clare W. Woodward, assistant to Major Jordan, R. O. T.

C. was a visitor on the campus j yesterday and was accompanied by Lieutenant Woodward on his return to Corvallis. BEX ! Allan Divati's n< west comedy dra ma, “A Broken Doll,” which comes (o the Rex theater today only, is re plete with thrills and attractive bits of excitement. The action takes place in one night and particularly beautiful night effects of rain storm carry out the mood of the story. Monte Blue, who plays the leading role in “A Broken Doll,” was brought up on a ranch and is exceedingly fond of horses. In the picture he has numerous scenes with an aged crow bait of long, lean visage, countless protruding ribs and a shaky gait. Monte insisted upon having a special comfortable cart made for the ani mal in which it was hauled each day to location, looking, Monte said, much like Madame Du Barry being hauled to the guillotino. When the picture was finished the horse was sent to nice green pastures at Monte’s ex pense, to be kept there for1 the rest of his days. SIXTEEN T. N.
