Leiiion-Yellow Nine to
Meet Lin field College
On April 8 and 9
Shortage of Dependable
• Pitchers Hinders
Ttfe belief that interest in col
lege baseball is waning on the Pa
cific , coast is discredited by the
turnput of Webfoot baseball as
pirants. Forty embryonic horse
hide'stars, the largest turnout since
■baseball became a major sport, are
cavorting daily on Reinhart field
before the critical eyes of Coach
Billyh Reinhart and his assistant,
Jack' Bliss.
Although there are still a num
ber of days before the conference
season opens, the lemon-yeliow nine
•will cross bats with the Linfield
college team on Friday and Satur
day, April 8 and 9, on Reinhart field.
These two contests will mark the
beginning of a series of preliminary
games wlich will later on probably
include both Pacific and Willamette
universities.
With 10 days of practice in the
background, Reinhart's diamond
performers are rounding into shape
as well as can be expected. There
still fare the usual number of early
season “charley horses” and soro
arms.
Practice last night included the
general warming up and batting
practice. This year’s lemon-yellow
nine will bo able to hit the horse
hidei at all times if Coach Reinhart
has Kis way. Lefty McDonald was
On the mound pitching to the hit
ters in last night’s workout with
the reliable George Mimnaugh be
hind'the plate. Do Lassus also took
his turn on the mound. The infield
and outfield was thickly sprinkled
with baseballists of all descriptions.
According to Billy Reinhart his
greatest worry is over the absence
of a number of good Singers. Bill
Baker, right hander, is the only
pitcher in school who has had pre
vious varsity experience and one of
the five lettermen turning out.
Baker witli his good change of pace
should be able to boar his share of
pitching burden. The hopos that
Bill ‘Ashby, pitching mate of Bak
er’s |ast year, would return to school
this jterin are apparently lost. Ash
by has decided to stay in Salem and
has good chances of becoming one
of the regulars on the Salem Sen
ator [club.
Rennhart has two southpaws, Lef
ty McDonald and Art Schoeni, grad
uate^ from last year’s freshman
•nine, upon whom ho must rely for
his iportside hurling. McDonald
pitclied to last night’s batters.
'Schofmi, although out in a suit, is
being bothered with an injured
back. Kenneth De Lassus, six foot
two right hander, is getting consid
erable attention from Reinhart. Do
Lassus, aided by a tall stature, has
quite an assortment of hooks
doubled with a good fast ball. This
lanky flinger was in school two
years ago and made a good showing
except his inability to gain perfect
control.
Although there is a conspicuous
absence of batterymon the worrying
of coaching them will fall largely
upon the shoulders of Jack Bliss,
catcher and outfielder on the var
sity nine for the past three years.
Last’June, Bliss ended his collegiate
ball playing career. Jack's know
ledge of the battery end of baseball
and the ability of opposing bats
men should aid the varsity /lingers
and backstops to a good advantage.
Reinhart field is in good condition
withstanding the Hooding rains of
a month ago. The outfield is fairly
firm juid the infield is covered st\ith
a short cropped covering of grass.
Manager Harold Brumfield and his
numerous assistants are now putting
the finishing touches to the field.

Frosh Baseball
Aspirants Turn
Out for Practice
Trip to Orient for Next
Season Gives Babes
Incentive
The more or loss unexpected an
nouncement that there is a possibil
ity of a trip to the Orient for the
varsity baseball team next year
should bring out more material for
this season’s freshman nine, Spike
Leslie, yearling mentor, said yester
day.
At present there is less than forty
men turning out, and among this
number there are very few men who
can be considered good material for
the outfield or for the position be
hind the bat. The pitching strength
of the aggregation is practically as
sured with three seeded hurlers
working out daily.
“Lefty” Fuller, liurler from Port
land, has worlds of speed and a
good chance of pace. Curly Mae
Donald, cx-Salem high school pitch
ing ace, and Johnny Anderson,
freshman swimming star, are also
getting in condition to make a bid
for the yearling pitching staff.
Several infielders who have gained
reputation for themselves in prep
school circles have been issued suits.
Among the most noteworthy are:
Coleman, Robie, Stroinmer, Worth,
Mason, and Hanley. Gabriel and
Packard were declared ineligible
because of scholastic difficulties,
leaving Spoers and Waldron to bear
the brunt of the catching burden.
Track, Field Events
Offer Opportunity for
Making W. A. A. Points
All girls who are interested in
going out for track and field events
may sign up on the posters in the
middle entranco of the Woman’s
building any time the rest of this
week, according to Katherine Graef,
head of the sport.
It is not necessary to be an expert
in order to go out for track work,
said Miss Ernestine Trocmel, coach.
In the past the majority of those
who made the teams have been be
ginners.
Fewer persons turn out for track
than 'for other sports, Miss Troemel
said, and therefore there is a good
opportunity for making W. A. A.
points, as there have been few teams
for each class.
A variety of events have been
scheduled including:
Running: fifty-yard dash, one
hundred yard dash, and sixty-yard
hurdles.
Jumping: running broad jump,
standing broad jump, running-hop
step and jump, and running high
jump.
Throwing: baseball, basketball,
javelin and discus.
Frosh Track Season
Opens With Turnout
Of 60; Schedule Given
i
The freshman track season of
ficially opened at the University of
Oregon yesterday when 60 men
signed up for the sport. They will
be expected to turn out daily, ac
cording to Delbert Obertouffer,
yearling track mentor.
Little is known of the potential
strength of the team at this time, |
but if nothing happens to upset the
plans the babes should give a good
account of themselves in the com
ing meets.
Stadloman, of The Dalles, has not
appeared for practice yet, but while
he was practicing last term he put
the shot over 44 feet. This was sev
eral feet further than his nearest
rival. Bobby Robinson, of Portland,
injured his ankle in spring football
practice, but he probably will be in
condition to compete before the first
meet. He pole-vaulted nearly 11
feet last season, and under good
coaching should work into a good
varsity man for next year.
Two dual meets have been sched
uled for the frosh. The first is
against the Aggie rooks May 7, and
against tho Salem high school May
14. Other competitions probably
will be scheduled later, according
to the coach.
The schedule follows:
April 23—Interscholastie meet,
Eugene.
May 7—Frosh-Rook meet, Eugene.
May 14—Frosh-Salem meet, Eu
gene.

Girls’ Baseball Teams
Will Hold Practices
Three Times a Week
The new term ushers in the girls’
baseball season, under the direction
of Mary Jo Shelley, coach, and Lela
Horton, head of the sport.
Aspirants for the teams may sign
up on the bulletin board by the
scales in the locker room of the
Woman’s building. This will be the
official bulletin board for baseball
throughout the term. Every name
must be accompanied by the class
of which the student is a member.
A scholastic average of 3.5 or higher
must be maintained in order to be
eligible for the teams.
Official practices will be held on
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday,
with two forty-five minute periods
on each day; one from 4:15 to 5,
and the other from 5 to 5:45. Every
class may come out at every period,
as there are enough diamonds for
everyone to play. In order to make
a team, a girl must put in three full
practices a week.
The first practices will be held
next Tuesday, and Miss Shelley
urges all those interested in playing
to sign up before that time.
Post Seeks Cause of
Student Mental Gloom
The New York Evening Post is
offering a prize of $100.00 to the
college undergraduate who best ex
plains the “wave” of mental de
pression apparently sweeping
through American schools and col
leges.
“Has the American undergrad
uate a post-war neurosia?” asks
the Evening Post in announcing the
offer. “Just what is responsible for
the melancholia which seems to have
invaded the campus today? Does
modern education foster too much
independent, unguided thinking?
“We have the opinions of univer
sity deans, faculty members and
psychologists as to why this mor
bid tendency has spread among stu
dents. Now we would like to know
how undergraduates themselves in
terpret the abnormal attitude which
some of their fellows have towards
life.”
Besides $100.00 for the 500-word
answer to this question, the Post
has also offered $10.00 for every
letter published.
Canoe Demonstration
Given by Pete Palmer
A demonstration on the correct
methods of handling a canoe was
given Tuesday night by L. E.
“Pete” Palmer, in the pool at the
Woman’s building.
The affair was sponsored by the
campus Red Cross Lifesaving corps,
of which Palmer is vice-president.
The proper manner of entering, pad
dling, balancing, and bailing canoes
were explained and illustrated by
him. The purpose of the demonstra
tion was to instruct students how to
prevent accidents.
