Tomorrow marks tlie oommenoe
mrnt do la fin of Oregon’s spring
football practice. On Friday, Web
foot linesmen will
cast aside the
moleskins until
8 c p t e mb e r 15,
drawing to a e.lose
the longest pre
season grid prac
tiee ever held at;
th,' U n i vers ity.'
Only a few special;
pupils will report;
for practice dur-j
ing the next two'
weeks. In addition
to the ends, a Coach McEwan
number of backfieldmen will be
given personal attention.
Coach John J. McEwan has shift
ed the versatile Johnny Kitzmiller
to fullback, and young Johnny will
eoine in for plenty of indoctrination.
Kitzmiller shows promise of being a
triple-threater and the big Webfoot
tutor wants him to be well pre
pared for next fall.

“We’ll win *some conference
games next year,” was the way
Coach Me IJ wan answered this
writer’s question on prospects for
next fall. And furthermore, Me
Ewnn meant it. Tt wasn’t just an
answer to an interrogation. Though
quite spontaneous, it Carried the
feeling of many days of past and
future planning. Oregon opens the
conference season against Stanford,
October 0 in Eugene. To win or lose
this contest doesn’t mean ns much
ns to defeat the University of Wash
ington Huskies in Portland, October
20. It will be this game for which
the Webfoots will bo pointed. There
will not be, however, the mistake of
getting the gridsters pointed men
tally and physically as early in the
season ns before the Idaho game
last: fall.
The two Washington schools seem
to be having plenty of trouble with
their spring workouts. Coach Enoch
Bngshaw of the University of Wash
ington has quite a squad oj men out,
but there seems to be a dearth of
letterim . The recruits from the
yearling eleven were far from prom
ising.
Next week will see the finish of
a six-week football session at Wash
ington State, the longest that Coach
O. E. (Babe) Holli’ngljerry has held
in his three years nt the stato col
lege. In the recent practices, sev
eral of the new members of the var
sity ranks showed to advantage.
Morgan and Jensen, cx-frosh, came
through well nt center, while Swartz.
Hill and Bays, guards, looked like
varsity material. Ralph Riley and
Jack Zone, varsity subs last fall
evinced development at tackle and
are likely to give the veterans stifl
competition. Ham Hansen, Hurley
and Chester did good work at end
Bill Tonkin, 1P27 frosli pilot, ban
died one team well and looked like
a real bid for a quarterback job
Ellingsen, Jones, Holey, Duane John
son and Rainhart did creditable
work in the bnekfield.
« « •
Tt seems as if the “gods of fate’
will smile on “Pop” Warner at Pate
Alto next fall. “Pop” already- has
visions of this smile, with his spring
practice which is now in session. IP
has a veteran for every position ex
cept one. Leading the HE’S quad i;
Biff Hoffman, veteran fullback am
potential all-American this season
Under Ernie Never** tutelage wil
be Spud Lewis, Bob Sims, Prank
Wilton, Herb Fleishhackor, Livl
Frontrnp, Chuclc Smalling, Harlow]
Rothert ami Bill Clark. Clark did]
not play fottball last season because
oi knee injury, but had been a very
valuable freshman player. Don Koli
nsky and “Dynamite” Post are vet
eran guards on hand. T.iny Heilman
will be at one tackle and Walt. Hein
rd<e will play center or the other
tackle. The ends will be Harder,
Preston, Muller and Worden, all ex
perienced.
If numbers count for anything,
Coach Howard Jones of the Univer
sity of Southern California should
win the coast championship again
next. fall. Seventy-five prospective
varsity candidates are answering his
beck and call. Jones has enough I
veterans on Bovard field each after-!
oon to put a complete team in the;
running now. He has Lowrey Me;
Caslin, Francis Tappaan, Tony Step
ocvitch and Charley Bore back atj
their end positions; Captain Jesse I
Uibbs and Cecil Hoff at tackles;
“Marc” Anthony, Clark Calloway,I
AlVin Sclianb and John Porter atj
guards; Nate Barrager, center; Don
Williams and Rocky Kemp, quarter
backs; Russ Saunders and JJoyd
Thomas, halfbacks; and Harry Edel
son, fullback. Of this crew, every
man except Sclianb and Porter saw
regular service, and all tho rest, ex
cept Kept, made letters.
Trojan football hearts were glad
dened this semester with the return
of Horace Wingard, husky guard
who performed on U. S. 0. rs 192G
frosh team. Wingard was not in
school last semester but will prob
ably be leading candidate Tor the
guard post held last, year by Bert
ITeiser. Wingard weighs 1!)4 pounds
and is fast for his weight.
Kelly, Willos
To Hang Friday
Governor Patterson Fails
To Intervene
SALEM, Oregon, April 18—UP—
James and Willos and Ellsworth
Keljev must hang at the state pri
son Friday for the murder of two
prison guards during a prison break
August 12, 102 5.
Governor I. L. Patterson tonight
finally and emphatically refused to
interfere with the sentences of
death imposed upon the two men
and with the end of a week re
prieve the pair will be hanged at
8:30 a. in. Friday.
That further legal steps may pre
vent, tho execution Friday is con
sidered a remote possibility. Every
known device of law has already
been invoked in unsuccessful ef
fort to save tho men from the gal
j lows. Tho case of Kelley went ns
I high as tho United States upreme
Court.
Pledges Initiated by
Swimming Honorary
Tuesday night at tho tank in the
Woman’s building, Orpha Agcr, Mar
garet Cummings, and Eleanor Cobb
were initiated into the Amphibian
club, honorary swimming organiza
tion. Walking tho plank blind
folded, climbing a ladder in the dark,
swimming with one hand and foot,
and answering a battery of ques
tions, the answers to which tho in
quirer herself did not know, consti
tuted tho rites of tho ceremony, the
nature of which is changed every
j ear.
Since its organization five years
ago tho Amphibian club lias in
creased rapidly in size and impor
tance until it includes tho best swim

the University, and tho entrance ex
amination is becoming liicnjp diffi

Frosh Infield
Is Promising
Frosli to Play First Game
Among Squad
With at least two good men for
each place, the frosh baseball team
is due to have a good infield when
the umpire calls “play ball” in the
first games of the season. Though
no team has been selected as" yet,
many of the yearlings are showing
ability at the various infield posi
tions.
Saturday the frosh are to play
their first game, among themselves.
Each “player on the squad will get
e. chance to show what he can do,
the pitchers and catchers included,
according to Spike Leslie. The
hurlers will each be given two or
three innings in 'which to demon
strate their ability. This game is
the first real test for the mounds
men,
Competition ^s pretty hot around
first base. At the present time Har
old Obligor, Salem high school star,
seems to have the edge. He is tall
and fast and one of the best batters
on the squad. Several times in prac
tice he lias connected with the- pel
let sufficiently so that it traveled
far i^ito the jmtfield. He is a left
handed hitter.
Hardly behind Olinger, but almost
on a par, is Koke Smith, of Eugene.
Smith held down first base for Uni
versity high school last year. He,
like Olinger, is tall and able to cover
the ground rapidly. Ho wields a
powerful bat from the'port side and
the fielders invariably move back
and to the left when he is at the
plate.
A1 Ililgers, diminutive ball chaser
from the North Portland Athletic
club, appears to have a monopoly on
the second sack position.
Francis Andrews is working for
the second base position. Ho played
on Portland high school teams, and
l as had four years actual playiiig ex
perience.
A third man out for second base
is Felter. His qualifications arc
not known.
Short-stop is another hotly con
tested position, with Harold Black
burn and Denzil Page holding the
lead. Blackburn is from Arlington,
where he played high school ball.
He is a capable hitter. Page is a
letterman from University high
school, where he played for two sea
sons. Guthrie is another possibility
for the short patch job.'
Holliwoll and East are outstanding
candidates for third base. Aspirants
to this post are not likely to beat
| the two boys mentioned.

Freshmen Meet
Linfield Teams
Men and Women Debate
In Villard Hall
Jessie Winehell and Mary Cani
parolir thp fresh.man women's de
batp tpam, met the women's tpam
from Linfield College yesterday af
ternoon in a no decision contest
held in Villard hall. Ruth Powell
and Polores Page represented the
northern school.
The Oregon team upheld the nega
tive of the question, “Resolved,
That the effort in the United States
to give a college education to the
masses should be abandoned.” Eu
gene Laird, varsity debater, acted as
chairman.
“One-sixth of those now in college
would have been better off had they
never came to college,” Ruth Powell,
of the affirmative, said. Eighty
five per cent of humanity is unfit
for college work, they held.
A distinction could be drawn of
those capable and incapable of col
lege work through: intelligence
tests, teacher’s estimates, past rec
ords, and consultation with expert
psychologists. Standards are low
ered by insincere students in col
lege. The affirmative advocated
vocational schools for all those who
were practically minded and colleges
only for the abstractly minded.
The negative held that a college
education is necessary and w.e can
.not have too many people, in a
democracy, who are educated. Only
six per cent of the population of
Ihe United States are in college, and
the effort to give this number an
education should not he abandoned.
College should be for the average
student and not for the superior.
Victor Jones and I.ysle Smith rep
resented the Linfield men in a de
bate held last night with the Uni
versity of Oregon freshmen men,
George Lowe and C. A. Barton. Lin
field upheld the affirmative of the
(jtiestion, “Resolved, That the Unit
ed .States should .cease to protect by
armed force capital invested in for
eign lands except after formal dec
laration of war.”
Tlie Linfield men declared that in
tervention was often unnecessary)
and that economic exploitation .was
being protected on foreign land. The
affirmative advocated that a system
of arbitration similar 'to that of the
League of Nations be substituted for
intervention. .
The Oregon team argued that in
tervention was necessary if the
Monroe doctrine continued to be
our policy. If the United States did
not protect life and property of for
eign countries, these nations would
do so themselves. Intervention is
justifiable by international law, and
piivate property as well as life has
a, right to be protected, they de
clared. «
