New Coach Starts Teaching Football Players Fundamentals y

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.

^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,

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.

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.

with Oregon’s 3,583 points. How
ever, the team did not fare so well
with Stanford, which made 1,860
points in the five-man shoot, as
compared to Oregon's score of
I, 844 points.
The schools which the local
squad have challenged for this
week are: Oregon State college,
Gettysburg college, University of
Tennessee, University of Wash
ington, Davidson college, Univer
sity of Southern California, Uni
versity of California at Los An
geles, University of Wisconsin, and
Culver Military academy. In ad
dition to the matches with the
above named schools, the local ri
flers will meet the 7th United
States infantry team.
In the individual scores, Har
vey Wright leads again with 375
points to his credit. The ten high
point men for the last week, with
their individual scores, are as fol
lows:
Wright, 375; Powell, 371; P.

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.

Harrison was not ranked in the
men’s singles because he did not
play in the national tournament.
