Scarcely a member of the regular staff is minus a bruise or two and Charley horses seem contagious. Team Baa Signal Practice Signal practice was the one big fea- .urn tuuay ana oom scruos ana varsity kept at it until dusk shaded the arena. Yesterday the Oregon mentor sat on the bleachers and watched his candi dates work unaided by the coaching Blare. It was a regular game, and Hugo made it such he never went near the field of play.

The backfleld will line up with Monteith caning the signals, BIgbee and Bob Malarkey working as halfbacks and Hoskins rambline- in the rnl i,n Chances are that Beckett win do most of the kicking and at the same time bnuib irom ma rieid ror place kicks. Johnny has developed into quite a toe artist, especially in goals after touchdowns. Montelth's work will receive close scrutiny, as it marks his first step as a quarter and might solve the Cornell substitute puzzle.
