Cincinnati Reds plan open trqout for Eugene By E G. WHITE-SWIFT Of the Emerald The Cincinnati Reds are looking for a few good employes. To qual ify, all you need to do is exercise your hidden baseball talents. Applications will be accepted from all 16-22 years-old male / female aspirants at a tryout camp to be held Monday at 10 a. m. at Civic Stadium at 20th Avenue and Willamette Street. It is one of the series of tryout camps sponsored by the Reds in their quest for world-championship caliber players. Any players signed to a contract could be assigned to play for the Eugene Emeralds, one of the Cincinnati farm dubs. After the 10 a.m. registration, prospective players will be ex pected to warm their musdes with calisthenics. After a brief rest, all players will run the 60-yard dash, preferably in 6.9 seconds or bet ter. The candidate will also be ex pected to choose a position and practice throwing and fielding from that position. In the afternoon, there will be an intra-squad game that will allow Cincinnati scouts a chance to in ventory the pitchers' throwing arms and the fielders' defensive abilities. If the scouts like what they see, a contract will be of fered, and the player will be re quired to report either to the Bil lings, Mont., or Eugene minor league dubs. Greg Riddoch, manager of Eugene's Emazing Ems, will be one of the instructors at the tryout camp. Cindnnati scouts that will be watching will be Larry D’Amato, who scouts the Class A Northwest League regularly and Rex Bowen. The “super scout" of the Reds organization, Bowen is also a special assistant to the dub general manager, Robert How sam, who may be in Eugene for the tryouts. The scouts will be judging players for their major league abil ity. Dan Driessen, an infielder for the major league Reds, was found in a tryout camp several years ago, then advanced rapidly through the extensive Cindnnati farm system. The scouts will be watching de tensive abilities with a tight eye for the player's talent for charging the ball and getting off a quick and accurate release. ‘The key to the Big Red Machine is defense," states scout D’Amato. "Some organizations buy the bat and get into trouble. A good defense makes the pitcher s work easier.” Pitchers at the tryout camp will be evaluated for their velocity and control. The scouts will also look at what the ball does after it leaves the hand — if it rises fast, or sinks, or breaks through the strike zone. In addition to defense as the key to the Cincinnati dynasty, D'Amato also promotes the ex tensive scouting organization that the Reds have built over the years. “If you have a poor scout ing organization, you end up with out any players signed," he says. "Some organizations depend on trades, but we prefer to develop the players.” The scouts will also be here looking for Eugene's best baseball talent. After all, Pete Rose can’t play forever.

Dr. John Caine, Oregon athletic director, appointed the 33-year-old Cryer as associate athletic director with special re sponsibilities for fund-raising. His assignment at Oregon will give him duties in fund-raising, promo tions, ticket management, season ticket sales and sports informa tion. His salary will be $24,000 a year. Like Caine, who came to Oregon last spring from San Jose State University, Cryer also is stepping up from a smaller school. He held a similar fund-raising post at University of the Pacific in Stockton, Calif. His contribution to Pacific was remarkable as he took over a program which had raised just $23,000 the year before his THE ANANDA MARGA SOCIETY PRES ENTS THURSDAY.

In his last year at Pacific, Cryer’s promotions amounted to $335,000. Neverthless, Cryer couldn’t re sist the step up to Oregon. “I was attracted to Oregon be cause of the opportunity to work in promotions at a Pac-8 school," said Cryer. "I also wanted to work at a university recognized as hav ing one of the finest athletic prog rams in the country. "The idea of going into a prog ram that is eager to do exciting things is stimulating and challeng ing." Cryer doesn't have any specific plans of starting Jack Henderson fan clubs or weekly luncheons with alumni. For the time being, he is getting to know his associates and is familiarizing with his sur roundings. His goal, however, is to put Oregon's program in a situation where Summers and Van Rossen don t have to sell programs and dean up Autzen Stadium to sup port their tennis and swimming HOMEFRIEO TRUCK STOP on 14th boh—n Hllyard and Aldar TODAY Omar FRIENDS OF THE FAMILY WEDNESDAY Dinner CAROL PLUMB THURSDAY Dinner BUTTERFLIES AND WOOONYMPHS FRIDAY Dm nor WENDY A ONE SATURDAY Breakfast CYCLONE MADRONE Dinner PAUL HAAS SUNDAY Breakfast CIRRUS Dinner EMILE DREY AND RICHARD BOUR DEAU MONDAY RADIO HOUR TO BE ANNOUNCED 10306 13 [ PERSONAL ) THE LEARNING RESOURCES CENTER has tutors available tor most sciences mathematics, foreign languages, writing, business Claeses, etc We also offer courses In stody management, voc abulary development, and speed reading Can 686-3226 or stop by Room 268 Condon Halt for more information 10294 13 FOOD-OP Open 10-5 Closed holidays, weekdays Hamburger on saie-92« per pound Now carrying canned pop al 22* per can includes deposit) 1535 Agate 686-4911 10301:13 STAINED GLASS BIRDS and butterflies make de lightful gifts $4.95 and up.

"The perfect situation through fund-raising campaigns would be to raise enough money to cover all needs so individual sports wouldn't be fund-rasing units,” said Cryer. "That would be utopia. Very few schools in the country have a full compliment of sports and club programs. "But there's no reason why we can’t here." Predicting fund-raising goals, however, is like predicting confer ence standings — it’s too early to know what’s going to happen. “We have got to go through some seasons before we can truly evaluate the possibilities," said Cryer. “Then, there’s no limit what we can do." One adjustment that Cryer will have to make is the larger scale Oregon’s alumni relations is on. Even though Stockton is larger than Eugene with 120,000 people, it has only 15,000 living alumni compared to an estimated 120,000 from Oregon. ELEMENTARY TEACHERS!

An idea Cryer would like to see carried out is the highly successful promotion teams he instituted at Pacific. He broke down 100 cam paign workers into teams, and gave them five weeks to see who could raise the most funds. "We made competition out of the situation, and they really got excited about it,” said Cryer. “They really got wrapped up in the competition. We want highly in terested, goal-oriented people who want to see the University athletic program be as good as it can be."

Griffin presents sculpture show A major sculpture exhibition, “Works in Wood by Northwest Ar tists,” is on view at the Portland Art Museum through July 25. Organized for the museum by Rachael Griffin, specialist in thd contemporary art of the region, recently retired Curator of the museum, the invitational exhibi tion comprises the work of 32 ar tists, 18 from Oregon, 13 from Washington and one from Idaho; from 18 communities in the three Northwest states. The exhibition is the fourth in the Portland Art Museum’s Bicen tennial series of five shows celeb rating the forests of the Northwest and illustrating the qualities of wood. Pieces range in scale from Leroy Setziol's “Carved Cabin," a nine by nine foot piece, two walls of a constructed and carved oak cabin intended for human habita tion, to Marrily Tompkins tiny, per sonal and whimisical tableaus made of twigs, toothpicks and other disparate objects. Hand-crafted furniture is in cluded in the exhibition. Four ar tists are represented by pieces that are utilitarian as well as im aginatively and handsomely con ceived. Portland artist Ken Shores has designed the exhibition installa tion. The accompanying catalog, designed by Robin Rickenbaugh, includes an introductory essay by Rachael Griffin, statements by the artists and photographs of the works and the artists. Omgon photographer Michael Mathers vi sited all the artists in the exhibition to photograph them in their work setting. The exhibition and the catalog is supported l*y grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, Washington, D.C., the American Revolution Bicentennial Commis sion, the Oregon Arts Commis sion and private donations.
