BEZDEK CRIES FOB SPEED ON VARSITY Oregon Coach Says Boys Are Slow but He Declares They Will Not Stay So. FOUR VETS STILL MISSING Temporary Eleven 15 Picked and This May Be Strengthened When Parsons, Wiest, Cook and Sharp Join Squad. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Or., Sept. 14. (Special.) Coach Bez dek's second day of practice failed to show many new faces 'on the local lot this afternoon, and the only known reinforcements to the Cornell-Bezdek following were Jake Rlsley and Johnny Beckett, 'varsity stars. Without any preliminaries the Lemon Yellow mentor "shooed" his favorites through a strong signal drill, punting practice, place-kick shots and forward passing. Then, as the shadows began to grow long, the old rusty "bucking machine" was bumped out from under the shed, and 11 husky linesmen were kept busy until the "shower bath" signal' was lashed some 40 minutes later. Training; Corps Selected Today. Tomorrow evening, if present plans are followed, Hugo will select his training-table corps, and once more the bones, baked potatoes, light custards and other ingredients for an athlete's stomach will nnd a last resting place. For the first few weeks of the season only one meal a day .will be eaten at "quarters" and that one dinner in the evening. Learning the signals was Bezdek s chief orders this afternoon and, as yes terday, . he had each member of the squad working at some point in a back- neld. Ensley stumbled at full, while Snyder called signals as arrett and Beckett advanced the ball. "The only way to get the plays," was Bezdek's explanation for his excess in backnelds. Temporary 'Varsity Picked. A temporary 'varsity was picked: for . time they ran the few rudimentary plays for football, joasman, letterman, passed the ball from the central zone; Garrett and Snyder, veterans, worked as guards; Beckett and Ensley, old heads, pranced as tackles, while Bart lett and Rlsley held down the wing jobs. s Captain Cornell ran the team frm his old position at quarter, and the trial backfleld. Bob Malarkey, Hoskins and Huntington, hugged the leather. "They are slow," mourned the stocky dictator, as he watched his recruits charge. "Speed is what I want and speed is what 1 am going to get. Sure, they will learn." Four Vets Absent. Each trains either freight or pas senger, is closely watched for the be lated ex-Captain Parsons, Oscar Wiest, Sam Cook, or Clayt Sharp. Rumor after rumor has been floated as to their arrival in college, but. all that the lemon-yellow coaching corps will be lieve is a sight of the absent vets In togs. Thursday has been designated as the nrst afternoon of the scrimmage. "Where are your pads and head gear?" shouted Bez. as he walked through the gymnasium at 3 o'clock. "Get used to them; we are going to have rough weather out. there in two days." Dummy tackling and falling on the ball are schedued to appear on tomor row's programme, while Saturday the first battle of the Fall will occupy 40 minutes of the day. The scrubs are slated to battle the fy-st selection if Charles hosses' stiff Joints and sore muscles can be disposed of. i Sheehy Is Making; Bid. Jimmy v Sheehy, of Portland, and Morfitt. of Baker, are likely candidates fighting it out for a second call in the quarterback zone. Sheehy shone in baseball last Spring and this Fall is taking his nrst fling at football Morfitt attended the Aggie College In 1913, and worked as an end and quarter for Coach Evenden. Both recruits are good. In the kicking department Oreeron will have Beckett, stellar performer of last season, plus Huntington, who seems to possess a hard drive in his right "I can't tell Just what we have here until I see them go through ..scrim mage," was Bezdek's statement when asked how high he rated his new ma terial. "The old men I know," he concluded, "the new are a gamble. At any rate, lt is certain that Oregon nas a rougn season ahead and hard work to break even." PERS0NAL MENTION.

ALL IGNORANT OF POLITICS Xone Sanies Running Slate With Taft in Last Election or 1C Gov ernors Sow in Office, but Three Know Vice-President. Bnightd ignorance sat in state around the big table for 12 in the dining room of the Chamber of Commerce yes terday at noon. He ruled in ready sway and grinned vehemently as he' made current event dunces of some of Port land's esteemed and extraordinary busi ness men. Some wit who had pecked at his salad while waiting for better proven der to consume his hungry talents, piped up with an Indiscriminate ques tion. "Who in the dence was Taft'a run ning mate last time?" he quoth. And each one of the 12 eyed the other as the other eyed him. Not one could tell. " With his lean and hungry look this unceremonious wit again asked: "Who of us here can name 12 Gov ernors?" Around the table again the question trickled, but nary a complete answer came forth. Even the wit,' who could not answer the first, could not make a stab at the second of his bright aeivings into sucn things. Not one of the 12 looked more eager ly Into his plate, and said "I'll be darned if I can" than did this one who started all the mental anguish. ' But goaded on by his unthwarted boldness he asked again: "Well is there any one here who can name 12 United States Senators now in office?" But not a one could. But the worst was not yet. An easy one was sprung: "'Who is Vice-Presiden of the United States today?" And three were able to ear.
