Sports Editor Parks Hitchcock, Joseph Saslavsky, Malcolm Bauer, Edgar Goodnough OREGON SPORTS “GRID PLAYERS WANTED Jack O’Brien, acting head foot ball coach, has Issued a call for all football players to report for spring practice, S to 5 today. Carry On. Kitz Helps Out. Practice Starts. -By DICK NELBERGER SWALLOW doesn't make a summer, nor does the em ployment of one man make or break the athletic destinies of a university. Los Jack O’Brien ing Doc Spears was a bitter dis appointment to Oregon, but there’s only one thing to do and that’s to “(.arry on.” There's no use becoming dis couraged over the situation. That would be fatal at this late stage of the game. If everybody pitches in and looks at the thing from its proper perspective, there’ll be no confusion at all. It has not yet been decided whether a local man will be select ed to fill the vacant post or whether an outsider will be em ployed. At present Bill Reinhart and Prink Callison appear to be the staff members favored by the campus and downtown critics.' Both are noteworthy candidates. Another man not to be overlooked as a staff member is Jack O'Brien. Regardless of whether Reinhart or Callison or an outside applicant gets the position, Jack O’Brien would be a valuable addition to the coaching corps. He is a fine per sonality and unexcelled as a scout of opposing elevens. The new coach, whoever he may be, will step into a man’s sized job when he takes over the post Doc Spears filled so capably for two years. It will be a long time before Doc Spears is forgotten here. His teams played outstanding foot ball and played it well. The thrill Oregon got when the news of Doc’s conquest of New York university flashed over the wires was a memorable one. But be cause Doc Spears’ successor faces a hard task, the University must be behind him to a man. The schedule for this autumn is a tough one—Oregon plays five conference games and three non-conference encounters of big-league caliber. It will take a well-coached team to combat that schedule with any degree of success. Given a reasonable amount of support, the 1932 football team should go a long ways. Spring football practice started with renew’ed vigor yes terday, and there will be more lads out before many days pass by. At each tick of the clock Oregon gets nearer to the start of the actual season, so there should be no delay in getting plans for this fall under way. * * * Cooperation is what Oregon needs and that’s what it received from Johnny Kitzmiller yesterday, when the dashing halfback of two years ago slipped on a uniform and helped Jack O'Brien get spring Junior Positions On Grid Manager Staff Now Vacant JACK EDLEFSEN, senior ath letic manager, and Ted Robb, head football manager, last night issued a call for candi dates for junior positions on the football manager staff. All ap plicants can see cither Edlef sen or Robb at McArthur court between 3 and 5 o’clock this afternoon. Edlefsen also said he wanted ail those interested in obtaining a post on the baseball staff to see him today. He explained that senior managers arc chosen only from those who work their way up from the ranks. drill started. Irv Schulz, captain of last year’s eleven, and Gene Shields, line coach, also were on deck. Bill Morgan, captain-elect, was the fifth member of the group which organized the first practice session under the new regime. * * * Colonel Bill Hayward went about his business yesterday just as if nothing had happened. The colonel has been head trainer for more than a dozen coaches here, all of them his personal friends, so such an event is nothing new to him. He spent yesterday after noon working his trackmen on Hayward field. Incidentally, Bill's highly valuable services as a trainer also are at the disposal of the new coach, something the new mentor certainly should not over look. Because Spears was a physician as well as a coach, he and Hay w'ard worked unusually well to gether in the training department. Along with young Bob Officer, who acted as the colonel’s assis tant, they had a medical room established at McArthur court that cared for everything from sprained ankles to broken teeth. * * * Yesterday also was a day of work for Bill Reinhart. He had the baseball nine working out in McArthur court. Incidentally, the club was crippled temporari ly when Leland Chester, veteran infielder, sprained an ankle, and probably will be out of action until the regular season starts. Callison will start freshman baseball practice this week also. * * * To get back to the football situation, there’s more reason than ever why the entire athletic department should work as a unit now. If either Reinhart or Callison is advanced, there un doubtedly will be vacancies in the freshman and basketball and baseball departments which will have to be filled, however, Hugh Rosson says nothing will be done about these jobs until a new head coach is, selected.

Will ROGERS “Ambassador Bill” Track Hopes Are Dark for 1932 Season Many Stars Lost From Last Year’s Squad Colonel Bill Hayward Drills Athletes for Meet Willi O. S. C., April 23 With the first scheduled compe tition now less than a month away Colonel Bill Hayward, veteran track mentor, is beginning to weed out the athletes who will repre sent Oregon on the track and field this year. With but eight lettermen returning, and scant new material developing, Oregon’s chances on the cinders this spring are not bright. Hayward is rich in sprinters. Paul Starr, track captain, and Paul Bale are the mainstays in the shorter dashes. Both are let termen and are fast enough to hold their own in competition. In the 440-yard dash four speedsters have been looking good in early tryouts. John Marrs, Art Hol man, Chuck Dolloff, and Jack Rollwage, who composed the crack Webfoot mile relay team last year, are all back and have turned in some fast times so far this year. In the longer runs the outlook is not so bright. Tom Moran, a last year s letterman, leads all of the half milers. Moran is good at this distance, and should garner his share of first and second places. With the loss of Ralph Hill and Bob Hall in the distances, Hay ward will be considerably handi capped. Bob Hunter, a new man, transferred from Stanford, will be the one hope in the mile. In the hurdles two veterans, Allen and Holman, will bear the burden of the competition for the season. Mason McCoy, a sopho more flash, has been turning in good times in the high sticks and should be good for a place in most meets. In the field events there are few promising candidates, and all of the honors the Oregon squad gains this spring will undoubtedly be through the victories of her stars on the track. Outstanding men in every field event were lost, and as yet Coach Hayward has found no one to fill in the vacancies of such stars as Bobby Robinson, pole vault ace, and big Ed Moeller, discus cham pion. In the shot put and discus throw the leading contenders for places on the squad are Marion Hall and Alton HaHanson. Bill “Iron Man” Paimer, El Ed wards, and Jack Rushlow have been working out with the javelin. Palmer and Edwards are lettei - men. Palmer is also a dependable performer in the broad jump and the high jump. Hubert Allen is another letterman who can be counted on in the broad jump. No pole vaulters have shown outstanding ability to date al though a number of ambitious ath letes have been working out daily for this event. Among those who have shown the best results are Voegtly and McCoy. April 23 the Oregon squad meets Oregon State's athletes in the an nual relays between the two schools. The meet will be held at Eugene. Tribute to Knute Rockne Starts Spring Practice Noire Dame Grid Turnout Totals 250 Strong; Prospects Good SOUTH BEND. Ind., Mar. 31. (AP) — Knute Rockne's spirit marched today, the first anniver sary of his death. Memorial services were held af ter which his successor as head football coach, Heartly Anderson, assembled Notre Dame's 1932 foof. ball army, 2C>0 strong, for the first spring practice. Today's practice marked the be ginning of full control of the team and its destinies by Anderson. A year ago, when the university still reeled under the shock of Rockne's death in an airplane crash on a Kansas hillside, no selection was made but later Anderson was named ''senior” coach and Jack Chevigny, ‘‘junior” coach. The ar rangement was unsatisfactory to both coaches. Today Anderson was surrounded by assistants of his own selection -—three of them stars from his 1931 machme, Marchy Schwartz, Nordy Hoffman and former Captain Tom Yarr. Schwartz was in charge of the backfield, Hoffman and Yarr drilled the line, while Ike Voedisch, the only holdover from last sea son’s coaching ranks, was back as end mentor. “Prospects are good,” Anderson said. A.W.S. Ready for Campus Carnival Saturday, April 9 Students and Townspeople Invited to Event at Igloo Next Week Work on the campus carnival, for students and townspeople alike, sponsored by the Associated Women Students and scheduled for April 9, is progressing- rapidly, ac cording to Virginia Hancock, gen eral chairman for the affair. Living organizations which are not entered in the canoe fete on Junior week-end will sponsor booths and concessions to be erect ed in the Igloo and opened for business next Saturday night. In addition to amusement booths, there will be jitney danc ing, food dispensaries, and other carnival features—all on sale for a nickel each. Construction on the booths will be commenced next week, according to Myrtle Mc Daniel and Muriel Kolster. A large canvas sign, advertising the affair, has been painted by Gordon Fisher, art student, and will be erected on 13th street next week. Other advertising features are being worked out by Made leine Gilbert and Esther Hayden, chairmen of publicity. Prizes have been secured to award those booths which are the most pleasing and serviceable and also to the booths which have the largest sale of merchandise.

GETS DIFFERENT SENTENCE LOS ANGELES,^ March 31 (AP) -They used to hang men, and in rare instances women, for rustling cattle, but Mrs. Mary Mistier, 40, was sentenced in superior court today to serve one to ten .years in San Quentin prison for her guilty plea to the charge. imrnm FRIDAY, SATURDAY—2 BIG DAYS I MADE HIM!...

Despite the loss of a number of last year's stars, the talent displayed on the practice field looks fairly promising. The strength of this year's dia mond aggregation will lie in the infield. There are letterman re turning for each position, and these will have a difficult time gaining a place in the first-string line-up in the face of the large number of last season’s frosh stars working out. The quartet of lettermen are Chester at first, Londahl at second, Stevens at short, and Potter at third. Harry McCall, a left-handed wonder who played with the frosh last year, is giving Chester a hard fight for the first base position. Mike Mikulak, another sophomore, has been doing well at third base. Duke Shaneman will probably work behind the bat. He is a vet eran receiver, and is a valuable hitter. Brian Mimnaugh is the only let terman returning in the outfield. Coach Bill Reinhart has a mul titude of right-handed pitchers, but what is needed most now to complete a winning combination is a good left-handed twirler. Os borne Edwards, Ken Scales, and Ike Donin will probably see most of the work in the box this sea son.

Norris Porter Is Intercollegiate Blade Champion Oregon Student Conqueror Of Best Northwestern Sword Wielders The northwest intercollegiate fencing champion for 1932 such is the title of a student on the Ore gon campus. He is Norris Porter of Medford, sophomore in pre-law. He slashed his way through the cream of the Northwest trades men last week-end in a tournament in Portland. The preliminaries of the tourney began March 24 at Reed college in the metropolis and ceased activi ties at the Y. M. C. A. on March 26. In the finals it happened that each of the large northwest col leges had representatives, most of the original entrants from about thirty colleges having been elim inated in the previous matches. Porter, in the round robin finals college, 5-3, Bower of Oregon battles, beat Pewtherer of Reed State, 5-4, and, in the very last contest, Richardson of the Univer sity of Washington, 5-3. The titlist had a close battle in his duel with Bower; the Beaver swordsman took the first four touches and needed only one more for an easy victory, but Porter came to life and tallied five contacts in a row for a win.
