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.

‘Moneyman’ hired to bolster athletic coffers
By JOHN HENDERSON
Of the Emerald
Lew Cryer, the mam who hopes
to take the financial pressure off
coaches like Buzz Summers and
Dan Van Rossen, stepped into of
fice last Tuesday.
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

appointment. 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

teams.
"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.

Furthermore, Cryer’s alumni
contacts were predominantly from
northern California. At Oregon,
former students span the entire
nation with 27,000 in Oregon
alone.
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."
Before joining Pacific, Cryer
was sports information director for
a year at Cal Poly - San Luis
Obispo, and spent four years as

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.
