Ingtoh may cost the school two of
Its coaches,. Prof. H. Mclntyre, faculty
member of the university board pf
control told the organization at
meeting last night.
Prof. Mclntyre said that during the
past vfeek he had been approached by
two Husky coaches relative to accept
ing offers from other Institutions. He
eaid he could not divulge their names
but Al Ulbrlckson, popular head crew
mentor, when questioned, admitted
that he had been tendered a contract
by a major institution.
. All. other t coaches except Dorset V.
"Tubby" Graves, head baseball men
tor and assistant track' Instructor,
denied having conferred with Mc
lntyre. Graves could not be reached
but. It was reported that he received
a flattering offer two months ago.
Humors were also In the air that
Clarence "Hec" Edmundson Washing
ton track coach, was being considered
as successor to. Walter Christy, vet
eran track mentor at the University
of California, who Intends to resign
next summer. . Edmundson dented
the- report,, however, and California
reported that no coach will be sought
until after tho Z. C. A. A. A. A. meet
In tho south in June.
. An amendment to Its charter turning-control
of the organization over
to President M. Lyle Spencer, adopted
by the board of control of the Asso
ciated Students, 13 to 3, last night,
was to be submitted to the univer
sity president today. If he is willing
to . uccept the responsibility the
amendment is to be presented to the
board of regents next Tuesday for
approval. The students will then
vote on the change.
. Prof. Mclntyre told tho board mem
bers they didn't know what was go
ing on behind the scene of the
athletic program." ,
1 Mervln Mclnnls, alumni membor,
taking a stand against giving Dr.
Spencer control, said:
i "There can be no sports for sports
Bako while we are up to our necks in
debt. What this amendment amounts
to Is that we are telling Spencer that
It Is up to him to go back to Chicago
and get us bigger and better half
backs If the team Is not winning."
Agitation exists at the school for
an athletic director, under the direc
tion of the president, to replace the
present system of Associated Students
control.

PORTLAND MAY GOP CH AMPIONSHIP WHILE
SEASONING CONNIE MACE'S GREEN TIMBER
TRADES AND OPTIONS KEEP BEAVERS BUSY IN OFF SEASON
, . By Phil Slnnott
(NEA Service Writer) .
BAN JOSE, Cal. Portland is ono
of the west's scenic centers, and
there's almost a complete change of
scenery In the Portland Coast league
club, which Is moiling here for the
1032 season. President Tom Turner
and Manager Spencer Abbott put In
a busy winter, and what with sales,
trades, pickups, options and the like,
the Beavers look like u new club. .
. Ed Coleman's hitting and Joe Bow
man's pitching sold them to the
Athletics. Detroit parted with, cash
for hard-hitting Bill Hhell. Colorful
Walter Malls, Shortstop George
Wuestling and First Baseman Jack
Fenton will, do their work In. the
Southern association, while Catcher
La try Woodall now wears Sacramento
spangles.
But the. club has added Nick Wil
liams manager of, the pennant win
ning Seals Jast year as coach and
scout,, It. has gathered athletes from
above, .and below . Class AA circuits,
and the Beavers go to the post with
a capable outfield that can hit, good
pitching, and an infield that has bat
ting power but Isn't the best fielding
lot in .the league. , There is pretty
fair, batting, strength , In the two
young catchers.. And the. club usu
ally picks up a few Athletics each
season.
s ;
Ray Jacobs, Los Angeles veteran at
first, and Bob Reeves from the Braves
at short, .ere the Infield changes.
Both are hefty at bat. The same goes
for hard-hitting .Johnny . Monroe at
second, and. Sammy . ,HaIe at third
base. AH smart, veterans, hitting
hard and often but. maybe not so
fast on the feet. George .Wise, a, like
ly looking lad,, and .Frank Hlgglns
from . Wichita, and on option, from
the Athletics, is another young in
flolder left with the club for sea
soning. ',
As a reserve first baseman, the
club always has Ossle Orwoll. the
veteran left-handed pitcher. While
he prefers pitching, and the Beavers
haVen't many southpaws, ho's avail
able for first base reserve duty..
Two or three seasons back, the
Beavers carried Hank McDonald, tall
young right-hander. He developed,
and the Athletics bought him. Last
year he went to the Athletics for
cosh. While he held the Yanks to
four hits In one game, and showed
flashes of greatness, . Connie Mack
decided the lad needed more season
ing. He's back with' the Beavers, to
bo giVen all the work he can carry.
Abbott figures he'll win 25 games
this year.
Johnny Prudhomme, from St. Paul,
Bill Shores, Jack Kllleen and Wayne
Osborne are veteran right-handers.
Bill Dietrich, spectacled young right
hander who led the New York-Penn
sylvania league last year, Ib a Beaver,
as Is Big Jim Poterson, on option
from the Mackmen. Orwoll, the vet
eran, and Art Jacobs; from Wichita,
aro the outstanding Portland south
paws. , "
Joe Palmlsano, catcher sold up to
Philadelphia, la back as a Beaver.
He'll do the iirst-Btrlng, work, and
ho hits hard. . His relief, will be
Johnny FltKpatrlck, the middle west
kid who went well in his first sea
son. He's considered a good prospect
and has hitting ability.
Fred Bergcr, from the Missions,
Bob Johnson, Jim Moore, down from
the majors and still good In Class AA,
and JoeCrnmer. sold to tho AVS'ln
1030, but unable to break In on Slm
motiB et al., are regular outfielders.
LoulB. Finney, on, option from ; tho
athletics, . will undoubtedly stay
making .an outfield that has plenty
of defensive speed and bat power. .
Many wiseacres of the diamond
game pick the busy Beavers as the
team to bent, once the now parts are
polished and fitted into the machine.
