A Wise Choice.
i ■
Good Material.
But Hard Games.
■-By DICK NEUBEKGER
rpHERE came to Portland on
Thanksgiving day of 1928 a
Medford high school football team
coached by Prink
Callison. The pur
pose of its visit
was a game with
Benson Tech for
the prep cham-!
pionship of the
state. Medford
had swept
through all oppo
sition in the
Kill Morgan southern section
of Oregon, but Benson hadn't done I
so badly in the Portland high
school league, so the odds on the
encounter were practically even.
They remained so for six minutes
of the first quarter, and after that
the parade formed to the right.
Medford scored its first touchdown
after seven minutes had elapsed.
The point-producing m6dium was
a long pass from little Bennie Har
rell to Bill Bowerman.
From then on Benson was a
licked team. Medford marched on
with increasing effectiveness, scor
ing again in the first quarter and
reaching touchdown-sod at least
once in every period thereafter. The
Medford lads tried everything, in
the books, and most of it worked.
Long runs through the line by the
late A1 Melvin, interspersed v/ith
passes and bucks, took the boys
from the south across Benson’s!
goal line six times. The Portland
youths functioned only when John
ny Biancone, now halfback for
Oregon State college, was carrying
the ball, and even Johnny failed to
penetrate the Medford defense con
sistently.
5»* •!• sjs
That team which Prink Calli
son developed played spectacu
lar football and played it well.
Its remarkable performance
against Benson made such a repu
tation for its young coach that
the next spring Prink was asked
to come back to the University
as head freshman mentor. Calli
son worked one year under Cap
tain John J. McEwan and two
under Doc Spears. His opera
tions as coach of the freshmen
were equally as satisfactory as
his work at Medford, his foot
ball teams losing only two games
in three seasons.
Prink got his big chance a
week ago when Doc Spears de
cided to return to the middle
west as iiead coach at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, which had
been seeking his services for
considerable time. Thus an Ore
gon boy enters the Pacific Coast
conference as coach of the school
from which he graduated nine
years ago. In so doing, he suc
ceeds one of the outstanding
football coaches of the nation, a
man who ranks along with How
ard Jones, Bob Zuppke, Pop War
ner and Amos Alonzo Stagg in
the lists of America’s gridiron
greats.
As head coach of the Univer
sity of Oregon, Prink Callison has
the chance to earn for himself a
reputation equal to that possessed

Oregon Nine
Drills Inside;
Coach Gloomy
Showers Dampen Bill’s
Practice Plans
Veteran Infield on Hand
With Peppy Show
For Onlookers
By BOB RIDDLE
“April showers bring May Flow
ers,” says the age-old epigram, but
they bring nothing but gloom to
Coach Bill Reinhart and some 30
baseball aspirants. As a result
practice is carried on in McArthur
court until conditions change for
the better.
With nine lettermen on hand,
prospects for a winning team are
very bright. An entire infield of
veterans is available, including
Shaneman and King, catchers;
Chester, first base; Londahl, sec
ond; Stevens, short-stop; and Pot
ter, third base.
Infield Looks Good
Two outfielders, Mimnaugh and
Palmer, and one pitcher, Ken
Scales, complete the total. Other
likely candidates for positions are:
Mikulak, third base; Donin, pitch
er; and Pozzo and Wishard, out
fielders.
The boys put on a peppy show
for the few enthusiastic onlookers
duiing yesterday's drill. An in
field composed of Chester, Lon
dahl, Stevens, and Mikulak showed
exceptional pre-season form while
whipping the ball about in a fast
fifteen-minute workout. Reinhart
donned the catcher’s pad and took
part in the fracas.
Hurling Still in Doubt
Bunting, sliding, throwing, and
batting have comprised the major
part of past sessions. Little is
known as to pitching prospects.
Should a good, dependable man
show up for this duty, and a
heavy-hitting outfielder or two,
things would look far from dismal.
There .will be adequate strength
behind the bat, a fast, snappy in
field, and two veterans in the out
field, which should leave very little
to be desired.
As soon as the weather clears
up Reinhart plans to work in earn
est, and discover what he really
has with which to mould his 1932
baseball machine.
by any coach in the country. It is
all up to two things—what he him
self produces and the support he
gets from the University and al
umni.
* $ *
Callison has made a remarkable
record as both a high school and
freshman coach. No once has he
met failure. The elevation to the
position of head coach may be just
another lift along the road to foot
ball fame. As aforementioned, he
has the opportunity to do wonders'
for himself and the University—
and there’s every indication he will
succeed.
* * S!
There are certain circumstances
connected with the football situa
tion that cannot be overlooked. In
the first place, the material is ex
cellent. On the other hand, the
’ schedule is difficult. These vital
factors almost counter - balance
each other, giving Prink a start
from scratch.
Not only is there an abundance
of freshman material coming up,
but practically the entire varsity
which made such a fine record un

COME EARLY
Jack Stays Here
Here s John J. (Jack) O Bnen,
who’ll stay at Oregon as a mem
ber of Prink Callison’s football
coaching staff. O'Brien came here
two years ago with Doc Spears.
It has not been decided whether
Jack will be freshmen or varsity
coach, but it is certain he will be
depended upon to do most of the
scouting.
Mark Temple, Leighton Gee and
Bill Bowerman—nine regulars will
be back.
The schedule this outfit will face
is no bed of roses, however. It has
to meet Pacific, Santa Clara,
Washington, U. C. L. A., Idaho,
Gonzaga, Oregon State, and South
ern California on successive week
ends, to say nothing of St. Mary’s
on Thanksgiving day.
Incidentally, Prink is one of
the youngest coaches in the Pa
cific Coast conference. He is
only 32 years old, less than half
that of the venerable Glen Sco
bey Warner, Stanford’s sagacious
leader. Howard Jones, Jimmy
Phelan, Slip Madigan, Bill Spaul
ding, Paul Schisslcr, Navy Bill
Ingram and Babe Hoilingbery
are all older than Prink. The
only other coach around Prink’s
age is Leo (’a Hand, the youthful
Idaho mentor.
That’s quite a tribute to Cal
lison—to be virtually the young
est leader in one of the nation’s
foremost collegiate circuits. In
gram, Phelan, Schisslcr and
Madigan are all near Doc
Spears’ age, 38. By the way,
when Doc was appointed head
coach at Dartmouth in 1917, he
was the youngest head coach in
the nation, being only 23 at the
time.
There’s no doubt that Oregon’s
team will play spectacular foot
ball this autumn. Prink’s clubs al
ways have put all the excitement
of a four-alarm fire into their
games, and he’ll probably instill a
similar atmosphere into the var
sity combats.
Everyone on the campus agreed
yesterday that the selection was a
happy one. Dr. Arnold Bennett
Hall, president of the University;
Brian Mimnaugh, president of the
Associated Students; Hugh E. Ros
son, graduate manager; Professor
H. C. Howe, conference faculty
representative; Tom Stoddard and
Doc Robnett, assistant graduate
managers, and all the other execu
tives were satisfied that the foot
ball destinies of the University are
in safe hands.

Hayward Dons 28-Stripe
Sweater for First Time
(ienoiation of Service
At Oregon Is
Recalled
By MALCOLM B U LK
Colonel William L. Hayward of
ficially donned his new 28-stripe
sweater yesterday. Eaoh band of
color on the
sweater signifies
a year of service
as head track
coach at Oregon.
The sweater was
presented to
Hayward by the
Associated Stu
dents.
For a genera
tion Colonel Bill
has trained the Haywara
athletes of Oregon, producing
track and field teams that consis
tently swept through all opposi
tion. From the way he looked
when he slipped on his new sweat
er for the first time, it could easi
ly be supposed that he will con
tinue to turn out such teams for
another 30 years.
Not only has Byi worked as
track coach, but for this same time
he lia3 served as trainer of Ore
gon's football teams. Despite the
many changes in the grid coaching
retinue now being considered the
veteran Colonel will be back on
the staff and continue to get Ore
gon's athletes in condition for
their games and keep them that
way.
This spring Bill starts his 29th
season with the Webfoot track and
field athletes, and already he has
a promising group of runners,
jumpers, hurdlers, and weight men
going through their paces daily in
the stadium which bears his name.
Not only is Hayward busy with
Oregon athletes, but for the last
few Olympiads he has been fi.
member of the coaching staff for
the American track and field en
tries in the Olympic games. He is
now planning for the games this
summer in Los Angeles, and not a
few of his Oregon proteges will
be in the running for places
among the United States entries.
DONUT
CHATS
by
JOSEPH SASLAVSKY
Prospective entrants for the
various all-campus athletic tour
neys, which are to get under way
on next Monday, March 11, are
few and far between. The horse
shoe rivalry has not attracted a
single aspirant for the barnyard!
golf title so far, while the candi
dates for the crowns in the tennis
singles, tennis doubles, and golf
events seemingly are not in a very
great rush to place their signa
tures on the entry lists which have
been posted in the men’s gym,
Earl Boushey, director of intra
mural athletics, advises all men’s
organizations intending to enter
the sundry intramural tourna
ments, which are also to begin on
next Monday, to con carefully the
list of rules he sent with the en
try blanks for the interhouse
events. He hopes to see the argu
ing which featured the rivalries
last year eliminated as far as
possible.
# Sj* *|!
The rules which are to be en
forced at the soft ball tilts in the
donut tourneys are the regulation
baseball rules with the following
major exceptions:
No spiked shoes may be worn.
Batter may run on third strike
or fourth bail, if ball is not caught,
but may not go farther than the
first base on the play.
Each foul ball is a strike, except
on third strike. Not more than
one base may be stolen on over
throws at first, third, or home.
Any number may be pilfered on
overthrows of second.
A baserunner may not steal un
til ball passes the batter.
A baserunner may take a lead
on a hit and run play; if, how
ever, the batter does not hit the
ball, the runner is subject to being
put out at the advanced base; if
he reaches the advanced base
safely, he shall be ordered back to
the original base.
A pitched ball hitting batter is
dead.
A pitcher may take only one
step in delivering the ball.
Length of game is seven inn
ings; in case of rain, four com
plete innings will be considered an
official game, except in champion
ship series.

Finnish Athletic
Officials Aroused
By Nurmi Probe
j Alleged Padded Expense
Account Causes
Suspension
HELSINGFORS, Finland, April
14.—(AP)—Finnish athletic author
i ities were aroused today over the
suspension of Paavo Nurmi, Fin
land's great runner, by the council
of the Amateur Athletic federa
tion, meeting in Berlin, on charges
of irregular expense accounts.
Nurmi was suspended by the
council pending the result of an
investigation by the Finnish fed
eration, which was asked to under
take such a probe by the interna
tional body.
The Finnish autnorities charged
in effect, that Nurmi had been
suspended by the international
body without a hearing and with
out writing to receive the report
from Finland. They said the re
port was requested for late in
April.
The basis for the suspension was
not officially disclosed but was be
lieved to involve charges of padded
expenses accounts for appearances
by Nurmi in Poland, Italy and
Germany.
The international council is not
scheduled to meet again until just
before the Olympic games in Los
Angeles. There is little doubt that
if the Finnish federation gives
Nurmi a clear bill of amateur
health the international body will
accept it without question. It al
ways ha3 been the procedure.
Accountants To Mix
In Kitten-Ball Game
The senior class in accounting,
school of business administration.
Monday accepted the challenge of
the junior accountants to a five
inning game of kitten-ball to be
played on Kincaid field April 9 at
10 o'clock.
According to the challenges
posted on the school bulletin board,
certain stipulations will be in ef
fect. These hold that instructors
for each class are to play for their
respective teams and that a joint
committee will select the ball and
bat. Daniel D. Gage, professor of
business administration, has been
suggested as umpire.
Junior and senior accounting
students are urged by the commit
tee in charge to sign up at once
for positions on the respective
teams.

Coast League
Clubs To Open
Season Today
Portland Faces L. A. in
First Game
Beaver - Ducks Stronger
This Year; McDonald
Gets Assignment
By RUSSELL jTnEWLAND
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
SAN FRANCISCO, April 4—
(AP)—Baseball’s thirtieth annual
grand opening in the Pacific Coast
league will take place tomorrow
when the eight clubs of the big
class “AA" circuit swing into ac
tion for the 26-week pennant j
scramble.
San Francisco’s Seals, cham
pions last year, will open their
1932 campaign here against the
Seattle Indians. Minus the ser
vices of such stars as Frankie
Crosetti, shortstop, and Sam Gib
son, pitcher, both big leaguers this
season, and Henry Oana, heavy
hitting outfielder who is on the
sick list, the Seals will start the
series with no early assurances
they can take the measure of their
northern rivals. The Seattle entry
has given spring training indica
tions that it is possessed of a
punch.
Beaver-Ducks Improved
Hollywood’s Stars, runners-up
in 1931, will line up at Oakland
against the Oaks. Los Angeles’
Angels and Portland’s Ducks, ad
mittedly the most improved clubs
in the league this season, will start
the schedule in the south. The
San Francisco Missions will jour
ney to Sacramento to test the
strength of the Senators.
With poor attendances for spring
exhibition games to look back
upon, the Seals will turn to night
baseball immediately after the
opening contest. The other Cali
fornia clubs will follow suit at in
tervals. Los Angeles officials
plan to return to the after-dark
performances as soon as the
weather becomes warmer. Oak
land will go in for the “owl game”
after returning from the first road
trip, the first week of May. Sac
ramento’s opening night date is
indefinite but probably not far off.
Portland Looks Strong
Although all clubs claim either
to be as strong or stronger than
last season, early indications point
to a three-cornered battle between
Portland, Los Angeles and Holly
wood.
Portland stacks up on paper as
a powerful club built around sea
soned men. The Ducks have five
men down from the Athletics,
Hank McDonald, pitcher; Higgins,
infielder; Moore and Finney, out
fielders; and Palmisano, catcher.
