Webfoot Nine
Plays Friday
Two Games This Week
With Bearcats; Varsity
Has Practice Tilt
By IIARRY BUTTON
At Inst it appears that the Oregon
ball fans are going to have an op
portunity to witness a baseball game.
It didn’t rain all day yesterday.
If this phonowiena persists until to
morrow at 3:30 o’clock, the Webfoot
varsity are due to cross bats with
the Willamette university on the |
local diamond. And if it tails to
rain by Saturday morning at 0:30,
there will be a second tilt between!
Coach Reinhart’s fence destroyers
and the capital city Bearcats.
Yesterday afternoon the varsity
vent through a real workout which:
was capped off with a five inning
practice contest with 1 lie Eugene [
city team. The score at. the end of
the fifth canto
Edwards
stood 3 to 3.
Chick Cannon
hurled for the
Oregonians, and
Cecil Gabriel was
receiver.
Cannon had a
little difficulty
with his control in
the first inning up
or so but after he
got warmed up lie
began to flip them
m around the corners where they
were hard to connect with.
Colossal Pulls a Ruth
In the second inning the score was
one up. Don McCormick was frisk
ing restlessly around second. Ray
(Colossal) Edwards Jamoi to the
plate, stood innocently staring at
Smith, the city eliucker, who was
misled by the batter’s seemingly in
offensive demean.
He was so badly misled that, ap
parently out of pity, he laid one
down the alley. You remember the
day “Mighty Casey” didn’t strilco
out. This was a similar occasion.
The first landing tho ball made after
it left Edward’s bludgeon was on tho
pavement of Eighteenth avenue. Ed
wards touched all the bases behind
McCormick. Yes, it was a circuit
clout. ,
Before tho game Reinhart had a
long session of hitting practice and
about 4fi minutes of fielding work.
In the infield ho had two combina
tions, ono consisting of Carl Nelson,
first, Gonl Ridings, second, Kenny
Rubio, short, and l)avo Mason, third.
Cecil Gabriel worked ns catcher with
this group. They alternated with an
infield composed of Les Johnson,
Bill Hanley, Bill Eddy, and Don
McCormick. Ira Woodio was the
catcher for this second group.
First and Third in Air
The closest battles for berths on
the infield at present seem to be be
tween Le* Johnson and Carl Nelson
on the initial sack, and Davy Mason
and Don McCormick in the vicinity
cf third. Nelson has been hitting the
old pill lately with such vehemence
that he has become a real threat to
Johnson. McCormick and Mason
are both hard men to keep off the
squad, as both are good hitters.
The outfield is lining up at pres
sent with Dave Epps in his old berth
at left, Cotter Gould in right field,
where he cavorted last year, and
Ray Edwards frisking about in tho
center garden. Ick (Pioneer) Rey
nolds, who has been out for both
catcher and first base, is further de
monstrating his versatility by going
out for a garden post.
In the games tomorrow and Satur
day, Curly Fuller will probably pitch
the first and big Train MacDonald
will sizzle them over the rubber j
Saturday. Bill Baker, though out I
of the infirmary, has not vet report-1
od back for practice. He will not
be in condition for this week’s
games. Chick Gannon, who looked
good in practice yesterday, may ,
possibly draw one of the chucking
assignments and will be on deck as
relief liurier in case the Bearcats
get onto the slants of Fuller or Mac-!
Donald.

Girls Take Canoeing
Lessons; But Then
This Is Leap Year
“Pull, feather, carry; Pull, feath
er, carry; feather—your—blade—
close—to the—water—that’s right;
keep it up. Keep bo your own side
of the race and IXIN’T rock the
boat. Hey, you two with the red
sweater and the green, slicker, don’t
you know you cant’ run a race in
the same canoe Now, red sweater,
see if you can’t time yorur paddle so
it. dips at the same time as green
slicker’s. Just remember that as
long as she’s in the bow of your
boat you never can catch up to her
and don’t try. That’s right—now
keep together.”
This is the cry when Miss Shel
ly’s canoeing class ventures out on
the mill race, while she calls in
structions from the bank.
There is always the skittish co-ed
v. ho swings her canoe crosswise of
the race in the fayo of heavy traf
fic, and brightly says, “Now wtiat
do I do?”
Hut in spite of tired arms and
sunburned necks, canoeing on the
race this spring is past as delightful
as it is “cracked up to be” in the
Oregana every year. Possibly it is
even more popular just now as a'
reaction from last year’s long dry
spell.

Archery Becomes W. A. A. Sport
Hockey Aspirants Play in Rain
“Cussing the weather” is the main
!occupation over at the Woman’s
building these last few days. Base
ball, hockey, anchery, tennis, golf,
canoeing are all practically at a
standstill. Only dancing and swim
ming go on umdisturbed by the
leaking clouds.
The hockey players, losing pa
tience, have decided to play rain or
shine from now on, bringing slick
ers and sweatshirts for protection.
The last call has gone out for team
aspirants this week. Claps manag
ers for this sport are to be an
nounced at tho end of this week.
Teams will pirobably be chosen in
about ten days. Every girl who
wishes to play should come out, es
pecially junior and freshmen phy
sical education majors. Two prac
tices each week arc necessary to
qualify for team consideration.
Games will start in about two
weeks.
So far the juniors have been mak
ing considerable showing, and Miss
Dunn, hockey coach, says the other
classes will have to work hard to
catch up.
Baseball practice! is also drawing
to a close. Teams will be chosen
in about two weeks, weather per
mitting. A snappy series of games
is scheduled for baseball this year.
One sport that is attracting more
interest than usuaj thi3 year is
archery. This sport has been' given
annually as a regular course since
1911, and for most af that time has
had a place as an intramural sport,
but has been discontinued for sev
eral years. Honors have been giv
en for participation for the past
several years, but this year it has
been put on a regular W. A. A.
basis along with the other major
sports, and points for W. A. A. will
bo awarded. Target practice will
begin next week if the weather is
dry enough. So far technique only
has been studied. Any girl wish
ing to go out for intramural arch
ery who has not signed up should
see Ruth Jaynes as soon as pos
sible. Juniors and seniors are par
ticularly wanted.
So far 17 have signed up, the
sophomores leading with nine.
The usual expense for arrows will
not have to be met by students this
year, as they are provided by the
departmeht. Students will be asked
to pay for any broken arrows, how- |
ever. . ]
Teams will be selected on a per
centage basis. Each girl keeps her
own score card during the prelim
inary practice period. . The total
number of arrows loosed is to be
multiplied by 9, and divided into
the score actually made of target i
hits. The resultingrpercentage will;
be the score. The average scores
made in previous terms is 17-L’l
per cent of perfect, after a term of
experience.
In the regular classes in archery,
this year’s turnout is expected to
be the best in years, Miss Thomson,
coach, said Wednesday. Equipment
giving each girl a chance to use a
bow and set of arrows exclusively. 1
is much more complete this year, i
There are now three targets, 20 j
bows, and an ample supply of ar- ;
rows. Twelve more bows are being !
sent for. The equipment is quite I
expensive.
About 70 girls will bo trained this
year, while formerly only about 30
girls could be taken at a time. Arch
ery probably will be among the
sports engaged in on Play Day.
Another feature of spring athlet
ics is a special course given under
Miss Thomson called “games class.”
Three games, tenekoits, (deck ten
nis), clock golf, and horseshoe pitch
ing are taught. Tenekoits is played
with a large rubber ring instead of
ball and racket. Clock golf offers
excellent practice in putting. A 24
foot green is marked in a circle,
with numbers around the edge cor
responding to the numbers on the
dial of a clock. The ball is putted
from each number to the hole in
the center. A perfect score would
be 12, but most of the girls now
taking this game average around
3G shots to a game. This is the
first time this sport has ever been
offered at Oregon and about 56 are
signed for this course.

Part IV
—In Which Crum’s Query, “Who Gets the Money?’’ Is Answered.
“Who gets the clongh?” Crum re
peated belligerently. “That’s what \
I want to know. That’s the point of
“Crum”
the whole thing, isn’t
it?”
“It sure is,” an
swered Johnny, pa
tiently. “But I’ve
already answered it
—p a r 11 y, anyway.
The profits of the
Co-op have gone
back into the busi
n ess — necessarily.
They’ve gone into the payment of
debts, into the increase of stock, and
into working capital. There wasn’t
any other way. That ’s what happens
to every young business—especially
a business that starts on a shoe
string. Remember that the Co-op
started with nothing—or worse than
nothing—and only eight years ago.”
“Well,” returned Crum, “how
long will it be before the Co-op will
begin to pay out?”
“I can’t say as to that,” replied
Johnny. “I’m not running the Co
op. I’m not on the board of control.
Whenever it’s good business to do so,
probably. But it’s all there—all the
profits for eight years—all in the
business. And some of these days the
students will get the direct benefit
of it. Why, down at Cal their Co-op
turned over $100,000 to the Student
Union, and another big wad to the
stadium. And the Washington Co-op
is contributing $150,000 to their
Student Union. That shows you what
the possibilities of a Co-op are. A
Co-op is big business these days. But
it takes time to build it up—time,and
student support and confidence.
Why, the Co-op at California is
thirty-eight years old. Ours is just
an infant yet. Does thafanswer your
question, Crum, you old crab?”
“I guess so,” Crum answered, un
\\ miiigiy. mu l ve
got another o n e.
Who’s got the say
about this money,
anyway ? ’ ’
“That’s what I
''want to know,” said
Ajax, “only I was
kind of ashamed to
ask. I’ve sot a hazy
“Johnny” idea that there’s
some sort of Board, and that some
students are on it. But I figured
that was only a bluff—just to keep
ns from getting too suspicious. What
is the real dope, anyway, Johnny?’''
“You’re not the only student that
doesn’t know, Ajax,” said Johnny.
“I wasn’t any too clear about it my
self, until I got to looking into it.
It’s all here—in this little book—the
Articles of Incorporation. The Co-op
is owned absolutely by a corporation
of which every student—you, Ajax,
and Crum, and Bart and I—and
every prof—is a member. You be
come a member automatically when
/you pay your student body fees.
i iicu s ciii mere is ox
it. We—the students
and the faculty—are
the Co-op. We own it
—it’s our che-ild.”
“There’s a regular
meeting provided for
every year,” he went
on, “with notices
published before
hand in the Emerald.
“Bart”
mis years meeting is today at 4
o’clock, believe me, I’jn going, too.'
Tlje members are just like the stock
holders in any corporation. Control
is vested in a board of directors—
seven of them—who are nominated
at this meeting. They are elected
at the annual election of the A. S.
1- 0., just like other student body
officers. Right now the directors
are Roland Davis, president, Arthur
Hamilton, vice-president; Allen Boy
den. secretary-treasurer; Ronald
Hubbs, Tom Stoddard, Dean Gilbert,
and I,)ean Bovard, They meet once a
month, or oftener, and have entire
control of the store. They hire a
manager, of course, rent the build- g\
ing. decide on matters of policy, and J
so forth.” ■
“The Co-up is run just as any
other incorporated business is run—
uy, ana ior, tne
stockholders, or

Board of Directors
an)d this board

and holds him re
sponsible. Is that
clear, Ajax?”
Ajax
c war as glass, saia Ajax. “I
don't see that anybody has any kick
coming on that.”
There isn t a kick coming to any
body. They don’t know—that’s ail.
But there is one other point I’d like
to clear up.”
