' Would I advise any youth to take op
backstopplng? My answer to that ques
tion la. Yea. Good receivers are hard
to get. and catchers who are both good
behind the plate and who are workera
all through the game are still harder
to find. It Isn't so much the ability to
receive the ball from the pitcher or to
throw the runner out at the bases as
It la the energy and snap that one puts
Into the game from start to finish. It's
a cinch to catch a game when the side
you're on la winning. I'd rather do it
than anything else I know. Bat I al
ways was a hard loser, and, although I
never eive no hoDe. It always breaks
me ud when we come out at the wrong
end of the score board. To be a sue
cessful ball player In the big leagues
you have got to fight yes, fight every
minute of the game, to take " every
chance that comes along, putting your
whole heart and soul in getting away
with it, to work and never give up un
til the last man goes out.
8tar Catchers Soarce.
Coming back to the position of
catcher, good backstops are hard to
find. In fact, there are several clubs
In the big leagues at present that would
Day handsomely for a star receiver.
As I said before, catching is easy when
vour club Is wlhnlnz. but If vour team

well you have hard work. The true

It la easier to separate the strictly

those who are not In that class than
to draw the same Hue in the left hand

New Coach from Hartmoutthj New
Captain a Star Man.
Corvallls, re., Oct. 1 With, a new
coach, a new captain, new, rules to
play under, and practically a- new
team, the football season at the, Ore
gon Agricultural College Just open
ed. bids fair to present some pretty
nroblema for solution. G. H. Schlldmll
ler, a Dartmouth man with an All-
Amerlcan reputation as an end, Is
the new head coach, and It ia ex
pected that he will repeat here his
Buccess of last season with the Uni
versity of Maine team.
One of his difficulties at the outset
is the fact that the captain-elect, E.
W. Wallace, of Independence, has
gone to Yale this year, and thus the
team will be deprived of his experl
enced leadership. His place has Just
been filled by Bird N. Hawley, of Star
a senior student who was guard of
the first team last year, and for two
seasons before that did excellent work
on the secon dteam In pounding the
regulars Into shape. James Evenden
of Washington, last year's captain, Is
another 0 fthe old men who will not
return this year, a serious loss to the
line.
Walter Keck of Hammond, a Junior
clv'l engineer, and Floyd Huntley of
(Jcld Beach, a sophomore In the ag
ricultural course, both of whom made
Places In several selections of all
, northwest teams last year, are back
in the moleskins again. With his
speed, weight, and ability as a kicker
Keck will be most useful In the new
game, and Huntley, though new to the
game last year, should also be a pow
erful addition to the new line up.
Clifford Dunn of Cloverdale, a sen
ior stundent, in the mining echool,
and John Enberg of Baker City, an
other miner, are both back again to
add their strength and experience to
the 0. A, C. gridiron material. Dunn
was a good conslstient player at cen
ter last year and Enberg, though some
what Blow, has weight and experience
of several seasonsto aid him in mak

Other men of last year'B squad who
are out to compete for position on the
