Begin Activities
During Week-end
Aggies Minus Ball Stars;
Huskies Troubled;
Stanford Tennis Good
By RICHARD H. SYRING
Sports Editor
This week-end starts the spring
athletic activities of about every
college and university in the Pa
cnee. Yesterday
the University of
Oregon netmen
were defeated at
Berkeley by Cali
fornia, 5 to 1. At
the same time the
Bolden Bear crew
was also successful and defeated
the University of Washington Hus
kies on Lake Washington.
College baseball of the northwest
got into action yesterday when
Coach Coleman’s nine of O. S. C.
defeated the Pacific University ag
gregation. Coleman is having plenty
of trouble this year in rounding out
a good team. Sir of the 11 letter
men from last year’s western sec
tion championship nine are missing
from the roster. In addition to the
five returning lettermen from last
year, there is one monogram wearer
from two years ago.
The pitching situation on the Ag
gie campus seems quite critical.
Hodgens, one of the 1927 mainstays,
. graduated; McIIaley transferred to
the University of Redlands; Link
ous graduated, and Winters, Ford
and Savory, three brilliant prospects,
are not back. Owens and Ownings
are reserve pitchers from last year,
as well as Art Bjanteguard. Boult
inghouse, a transfer, will be eligible
for Competition, and last year’s rook
ranks will give Bostick, Wagner
and Mills.
Red Bouten’s shoes at third will
be hard to fill. Red succumbed to
the big leagues, ’as well as Wes
Schulmerich, who is playing center
field regularly for Los Angeles in
the Coast League. First base will
probably be' taken care of by Cloyes,
letterman. Aase, Fis.cher and Thomp
son are reserve initial sackers.
Hartley and Torson from the rooks
will add some strength. Captain
Bernard Ilafenfeld will hold dbwn
second and Billy Quayle is working
around short. For third, Remmell
of the rooks is a good prospect.
John Logan and Bergan Belleville
are the only two experienced out
fielders on hand. All in all, Cole
' man is facing a tough proposition,
and this year’s Aggie nine will
probably be made up mainly of
sophomores.

Coach Billy Reinhart eau sit back
and chuckle at the grief some of the
other conference ball mentors are
having in finding suitable hurlers,
as he has a corps of four experienced
slabmen. Coach Tubby Graves of
the Huskies is having hi# worries
since Captain Hal Gardner and
Walt Stowell, lettered cliuckers,
graduated. Jerry Calhoun and Ray

Davis are the two lettermen. out for
pitching positions. Blacjvie Kevins,
John Kirner and Archie McLean are
three left-han'ders on deck. Larry
Westerweller, from last year’s frosh
squad, may be counted upon. Ken
McKenzie', regular catcher last year,
is the only experienced receiver.
This year’s Husky infield will
likely see several changes. Percy
Bolstad, of basketball fame, was
the regular 1927 first sacker but is
slated to play third this year because
Wilson Gaw, 1927 freshman, *is
counted on at first.
Outfield prospects received quite
a jolt a short time ago when Har
old Duffy was declared ineligible
for failing to pass the sufficient
number of hours at the close of the
winter term. Monty Snider, also
of hoop reputation, is being counted
on as a strong outfielder.
Although it will still be a few
I days before Coach Billy Reinhart’s
crew gets into action, baseball in the
south is virtually through. The
Stanford nine started playing Janu
ary 28 and will complete their sched
ule April 25. They are planning on
a barnstorming trip to Australia.
Oregon weather is sure a big detri
ment. to college baseball.
When Oregon faces the Stanford
tennis team at Palo Alto today, they
will probably be. facing one of the
strongest, if not the strongest, col
lege tennis team in the United
States.
Ranking number one on the Stan
ford squad is Alan Harrington, who
won the Oregon state singles in 1926
and played splendidly against the
man who reached the finals in the
national intercollegiate last year.
About five weeks ago Harrington
defeated Ben Gorchakoff of Occi
dental college, who is the second
ranking intercollegiate player in the
United States. Johnny Wheatley is
second ranking player on the Cardi
nal team. Ralph McElvenny is also
a member of this year’s team. Mc
Elvenny will be remembered for his
scintillating playing in the tourna
ment here last May.
While Oregon trackmen are re
joicing over their two dayrs of nice
weather, the University of Southern
California track team is preparing ^
to entertain the University of Illi
nois cinder artists today at the Los
Angeles Coliseum. Capt. Dave Fair
field, distance runner, will head the
pack of 22^1oyal sons of “Illini.”
Today’s event at Los Angeles will
bring a great number of champions |
into competition. Coach Harry Gills
has 2'° less than seven Big Ten j
champions on his team. Four of the |
seven title-holders are distance run
ners. Capt. Dave Fairfield was
considered the king of the two-milers
until Dave Abbott, sophomore,
trimmed his leader in the seusa- |
| tional time of 9:27.ti.
A great battle is expected be
i tween Captain Lee Barnes of the
l Trojans and George H. Burners of
j the Illini squad. The Illinois vault
i or has done better than 13 feet con
) sistently. It is thought that Bob
| Carr, Illinois high jumper, will take
the event from A1 Bowen of the
I Trojans, whose best record is 6 feet
3 inches.
Don’t think that Dean B. Crom- 1
well, who is serving his 16th year
at U. S. C. hasn’t a sleeve full of
champions. He has 12 in all, rang
ing from Olympic to national schol
astic champions. Besides Captain
Lee Barnes, Charlie Borah is perhaps
the next outstanding performer. He
holds the 1927 intercollegiato cham
pionship in the 100-vard dash and
220-yard event. With his mark of
:09 3-5 in the hundred, Borah has
been trying all season to lower
Charlie Paddock’s mark of 9.5 for
the century. Borah is now in his
third year at the U. S. C. College
of Dentistry. • <■

An aggregation of fisticuff ar
tists of the University of Oregon
will- invade the Northwest Amateur
Athletic Union boxing champion
■hips to be held in Portland, April
Z7 and 28. Coach Herman Gnwet
has selected three of his mitt sling
rs to accompany him to the tour
neys; Albert Wright, 159 pounds,
Robert Knox, 140 pounds, and Jack
3’Keefe, 140 pounds.
The last named gentleman, Jack
3’Keefe, is expected to do big
ihings to his opponents. Jack can
ertainly handle hia gloves. He took
:ho championship of his weight in
the intramural free lance tourney
jvithout a great deal of opposition.
3 'Keefe was fighting in a lighter
division then that he will enter
n Portland.
Albert Wright took the 165 pound
:itie from “Spider” Kelly in the
ionut tilt. Wright is tall, well-mus
’led, and fast. He is equally good
vith either hand.
A lightning left is the passport
>f Bob Knox. In the donut struggles,
:ime after time Knox’s opposition
felt a portside leather covered fist
collide none too gently with his jaw.
Such is the array of talent to
eprcscut the University of Oregon
it the Northwest championships.
Phis is the first time that a team
>f this kind has competed in these
•hampionships under the University
•olors. To keep the -men in shape
tlicy must have sparring partners,
r.nd Gawer suggests that it would
not be amiss if some men would
offer their services in this capa
city.
There will be teams from the Uni
versity of Washington, Washington
State, Multnomah Club, and various
athletic clubs throughout the North
west, besides the University of Ore
gon, entered therein.

political party, as (lid Sinclair, he
is placing a strain on human grati
tude if there is not some return.
And Sinclair was only one among
many who exceeded the legal limit
in giving to the Republican fund.
The power of money in politics to
day is not that of direct bribery;
its method is more subtle and more
insidious, because it seeks to rest
itself on ties of personal friendship
and party gratitude. It is sheer
folly to expect government, to be
run in tho interests of all the peo
ple when the tentacles of large
moneyed groups axe allowed to
penetrate in this fashion into the
highest circles of administration. If
tho reformers would forget for n
moment their complex about an in
nocent glass of beer, they have
ample room for activity in a sphere
far more deleterious to social free
dom.

Why Americans excel
The genius of America is restless. It is always striving
to master new problems; and when new problems are
solved, it advances to others. It is never satisfied.
Vor that reason we are constantly moving forward into
new fields of discovery—insatiable, always demanding
something newer, something better, something different.
Nothing demonstrates this more remarkably than the
advertisements you read. They cover the entire range
of human requirements—from the absolute necessities
of life to the most refined luxuries. Yet they are con
stantly changing. This continual change means fresh
material, fresh ideas, a stimulus to new endeavor.
The moment you cease to find interest in the adver
tisements of the offerings of industry, of commerce, of
art—that moment you will begin to retrogress, and the
world will slip away from you.
Reading advertisements is looking
