New Coach Starts Teaching Football Players Fundamentals y Spears Gives Football Men First Workout Largest Spring Turnout In History of School Begins Drill Backfield Men Receive Coach’s Attention With the largest boGy of men that has ever turned out for spring football practice, to work with, Dr. Clarence Spears, last night put the candidates through a stiff workout. A departure from the ordinary routine of setting-up exercises was indulged in with some of the fundamentals of backfield and line work being illustrated. Though the procedure at yes terday’s workout may not have been indicative of the type of elev en Spears will eventually turn out it looks as if a fast powerful elev en will result. The backfield men spent the afternoon going through pivoting maneuvers that would be the basis for innumerable plays should the coach so desire. The linemen under the particu lar supervision of Gene Shields and Prink Callison, worked on blocking tricks which Spears him self illustrated using Shields as his opposition, but for the majority of the workout the head coach was working with the backfield can didates. Many men who signed up at Monday's meeting were not out, Marsh Shields, Woodie A rcher, Brie Forsta, Jerry Gillie and Ed Moel ler being conspicuous by their ab sence which is, however, justified by injuries in most cases. Johnny Kitzmiller was out on the field watching what was going on but did not indulge in any of the actual work. He is slightly bothered by his ankle injury and it is considered best that he take care of it for a while. Practice will be continued with workouts scheduled for 4 o'clock. Even though the turnout is the largest on record here, a lot more men coidd be used. =^,'lllllllll!l!lllllll!|||||||||li!l!lll!l!!tl!llllillll'lll!,lllllllllli!lllllllllllinHll|||l!l||in!l!llllll!lli:" ' !ll"|i|!<l Hfifti'!iiiM!Hitmrri(m^ SIDE LINES By HARRY VAN DINE ^iIVE Doc Spears plenty of credit for getting right down to busi ness. Yesterday afternoon, three da; ; after his arrival in Eu gene, he had the Webfoot football squad out in uniform for the opening practice session of the spring period. In comparison to Jimmy Phelan at Washington, Doc is a real hustler. Pi.elan arrived in Seattle a couple months bark and will not start spring practice until the latter part of this week. Of course Phelan had to return to the Middle West to complete the roster of his coaching staff. Phelan certainly has cleaned house at Washington and we would be willing to bet that Washington’s team next year will cost the Huskies plenty as far as coaching salaries go. Within the last few days he has signed Edmond Collins, former star Notre Dame wingman, to handle the Husky ends. Cotton Wilcox will take care of the backfleld men while “Pest” Welch, former Pur due star, will show the yearling team the finer points of the game. Dan Eamont will handle the line. Nothing definite has yet been done about securing an assistant to complete the Oregon coaching staff but. some announcement is ex pected to be forthcoming in a few days. The present staff of assist ants includes Gene Shields and Prink Callison and they will help Coach Spears with the practice sessions during the spring training period. Bill Reinhart, who served as backfield coach last year, is busy with basketball and will soon call out his varsity baseball squad, so will be unable to help with spring practice. Webfoot Tossers Have Tough Assignment Coach Bill Reinhart has his Webfoot basket tossers hard at work in preparation for the inva sion of the Washington Huskies’ lair this week-end in the crucial series of the 1930 conference race. The Webfoots have a tough assign-1 rnent to defeat the strong Husky quintet in both games of the ser- j ies to tie Washington for the ti tle. If the Oregon squad is able to come through with a pair of victories over the Huskies, they will climax one of the most bril liant finishes ever staged by an Orfegon team. * * a Considered by all dope experts to be doomed for a poor finish after dropping the third game of the Oregon State series, af 1 ter defeating the Beavers two straight, the Webfoots started on their annual road trip. The Webfoot hopes sunk even lower when Washington State won the first game of the series. Keinhart’s men weren’t yet through, however, and won I he remaining three games on the trip. Last Saturday they won their fourth straight hy a spec tacular rally against Oregon State to make it three out of four over the Beavers. This season certainly provided its share of upsets. Washington has lost only four games, three of them to Oregon State. Washing ton State has been the only other 1 conference team to turn back the Huskies. Washington won both games from Oregon played at Eu gene, the last one by a one-point margin. Everybody admits Ore gon’s chances of winning both games this week from the Huskies are very slim, but the Webfoots are instilled with the old Oregon fight and consider that they have an excellent chance of beating the Huskies. It would certainly be a fitting climax to an exciting sea son. Moeller Able To Toss Disc, Says Doctor Track Captain’s Arm Said To Be Healed; Team’s Chanees Brighten Rain Prevents Men From Working Outside Definite words was received yes terday that Ed Moeller, captain of the Oregon track team and unof ficial world’s discus champion, will be able to throw the discus in track meets this spring. Doctors examined Moeller’s arm which was broken last month in a bobsled accident, and pronounced it completely healed. However, it will be some time before Ed can cut loose for distance heaves. Ore gon’s track hopes are brightened noticeably with Moeller's presence on the team assured. Hounding Into Condition The usual early season charley horses, buck shins, and cigarette smoker’s aftermaths are hitting the varsity track squad, especial ly among.those who were too eager to show their speed, but on the whole the squad is in good condi tion. Rain has held up practice con siderably, making it necessary to use the long corridor in McArthur court for a track when the Hay ward field track is too wet. The sawdust field also comes in handy for the racers to romp on. Hurd lers and high jumpers have been displaying their talent under sky lights indoors. Scheiber Is Prospect Aside from Virgil Scheiber there are no outstanding sprint candidates on hanu to fill the va cancy left by Bert Tuttich and Tyrell Lowry. Scheiber was the star frosh sprinter last year and should develop into a good var sity man. Oregon's track championship hopes will be built around Ralph Hill, rniler; Claire McKennon, quarter-miler, and Ed Moeller, dis cus heaver. Although these men can be counted on to cop first places regularly, much will de pend on the material for the other events. Oregon Boxers To Fight Champs In Tournament Pacific Coast Amateur Contest To Attract 130 Entrants The University’s three entries in the Pacific coast amateur boxing tournament which is slated for this Friday and Saturday at Port land will encounter exceedingly rough going in their quest for ti tles because last year’s flyweight and welterweight champions are returning to defend their laurels. With these experienced rivals to compete with and a host of other exponents of the gentle sport all clamoring for recognition, it will be a herculean accomplishment for the University boys to walk off with a crown. Many Enter The tournament, which is spon soied by the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club, has attracted 130 entrants from various amateur clubs up and down the coast and practically all of the northwest! colleges. This is a new record for participants, and there is consid erable wonder how Jimmy Rich ardson, who is in charge of the meet, can run off the matches in two nights. Portland alone has 36 boxers entered and San Fran cisco is not far behind. These en tries represent the cream of the coast’s amateur talent. Champs to Compete Bob Knox and Mahr Reymers may clash with each other for both are entered in the welterweight division. As there are 26 other entrants, however, this chance is lessened. John Perdick, ex-Uni versity of Washington titleholder, holds the championship of this di vision. Ben Pasion, flashy Fili pino, has only to blast his way through a field of ten, but one of them is Abie Miller, the champion. Bernie Hughes, Oregon’s unat tached entry, competes with ten other mitt slingers for light heavyweight honors. Here, too, a returning champion will defend his ; title rights.

WARNING TO BE SENT OUT ON LOW MARKS (Continued from Page One) been sent out by Dean Biggs, in conjunction with Dr. Howard R. Taylor, associate professor of psy chology and head of the personnel bureau. A questionnaire concern ing individual study habits and difficulties, to be filled out by the student and handed in to his ad riser, is enclosed in each letter sent out. Urges Conferences In a statement made yesterday, Dean Biggs urged that every stu dent who has been instructed to confer with his adviser do so at ] Once, in order to safeguard against the possibility of flunking out at the end of the term. His state ment follows: “Inasmuch as the opportunity of conferring with a faculty member and receiving his advice and as sistance is offered to students at midterm, students who fail to take advantage of this opportunity are apt to receive less favorable con sideration from their instructors and from the scholarship commit tee in case of scholastic difficul ties at the end of the term than those who are shown to have done all that they could to avoid such difficulties. Term End Nears “The term is rapidly nearing an end, and the time for making ad justments in the students’ study programs is rapidly passing. “The committee Considers the work of the advisers to be of very great importance and thinks it highly desirable that students who are falling behind in their scholas tic work benefit from faculty as sistance in this manner. There should be no difficulty in arrang ing suitable hours with the ad visers' offices, either personally or by telephone.” Dr. James H. Gilbert, dean of the college of literature, science, and the arts, is chairman of the scholarship committee. The other members are Mrs. Virginia Judy Esterly, dean of women; Dr. Carl ton E. Spencer, professor of law; George S. Turnbull, professor of journalism; A. B. Stillman, assist ant professor of business adminis tration; Dr. John F. Bovard, dean of the school of physical educa tion; and Hugh L. Biggs, assistant dean of men. JUNIORS PLAN VODVIL; HALL TO BE DIRECTOR (Continued from Page One) ior Vodvil directorate are all ca pable and with the interest already shown in the show by the student body members, there is every in dication that the undertaking will be highly successful,” declared Brad Harrison, Tennis Star, Gets National Ranking Listed Sixth Among Melt’s Doubles Teams of United States National amateur tennis ratings, vhich were issued last week, con ained the name of Bradshaw Har -ison, Webfoot tennis ace last ^ear, paired with Kenneth Appel jf Princeton in sixth place in •nen’s doubles teams. „» Although George Lott and John ny Doeg were ranked first in dou bles, Appel and Harrison defeated :hem in the New York state cham pionship matches and had them point set twice in the national doubles.

Harrison was not ranked in the men’s singles because he did not play in the national tournament. The early start of school here kept him from participating.
