Coach Hargiss and Trainer Butler
Laboring Hard Over Promising
Material for Spring Meets.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL. COL-t-KGS,
March 18. (Special.) Aggie
track men are working hard every
day under Coach Hargiss and Trainer
"Dad" Butler. The work so far has
been principally for condition and
form, but beginning with the next
term, which opens on March 29. real
work on speed and distance will be
taken up. This will allow but two
weeks to prepare the men for the
Columbia indoor meet, which is to be
held in Portland April 10. Full teams
of both freshmen and varsity ath
letes will be entered in this meet, ac
cording to Coach Harglss.
Most of the early work has been

A practice meet between the var

indoors on the Saturday following
the opening of the third term. A
goodly number of freshmen stars are
out for positions and no cinch for the
varsity is expected.
There are three men on the Aggie
squad this year who have won letters
in track two different years and 10
more who have won one letter each
Captain Eikelman, Carter and Damon
are the three double-letter men,
Eikelman is rapidly recovering from
a broken jaw, which has caused him
considerable trouble lately. He has
been forced to take liquid food for
more than a month, but should rap
idly recover strength when a cast is
removed.
Carter is going strong in the
sprints, and Snook and W. Greene,
the two latter of last year's rook
team, look like a good combination
for the short distance runs. Other
;ood men are out, however, and may
'develop strong competition for places
on the team.
Point Winner Turn Out.
Word has been received here that
Radcliffe, who performed on the
hurdles last year for the Aggies, will
return to college next quarter, and
will turn out. Swan and McCormack
are consistent on the. 880-yard and
mile run, and will be relied on for
points. A number of other men are
going strong for these runs, among
these being Lucas, who is a letter
man from 1916; Bullard. Ford. Rey
nolds, Durham and Rose. The 440
yard will see Rose, Anderson and
Kellogg in action, as well as E.
Greene.
Field event men are Eikelman,
Metzler, Waite, Ross, Luebke, Snook,
Powell. Heyden. Damon and Butler.
Several of these have previously
earned official letters in track.
Coach Hargiss intends to enter men

and is endeavoring to reopen negotia
tions. "As previously planned." said Man
ager Si Simonsen of the Guard team
last night, "we were to meet the
winged-M players the last of the sea
son, it being agreed that both teams
would close the season with these
games. The 'fans have looked for
ward to this event and daily make in
qu.rles of both team managers as to
the dates. It is not fair and equitable
in this instance to disappoint the
fans, for the success of the game
rests with them; consequently, I am
ready, on behalf of the Guard, to meet
the club players in a one, two or
three game series at any time that
can be arranged. The clubmen have
had a very successful season; so have
we. And, speaking for our followers
and a number of neutral fans whom
I meet daily, I believe that the two
teams should meet this season for
the good of the sport, as well as the
mutual satisfaction of the two organ
izations sponsoring thesV teams."

Portland trapshooting followers who
will compete in the two-day regis
tered tournament, which ,will get
under way at the Portland gun club
tomorrow morning, will not only have
tire opportunity to powder as many
out of 400 registered targets as they
can hit, but will also have, ihe chance
to witness the world's greatest trap-
shooter in action during tomorrow s
and Sunday's shooting.
This said personage is Charles G.
Spencer of St. Louis. Mr. Spencer ar
rived here Friday as the guest of the
Portland gun club and is known the
globe over as the worlds greatest
Drofessional scatter gun artist.
For 11 years Charley Spencer lias
been one of the real top-notchers in
the trapshooting game and his aver
age for this 11-year period rar ex
cels that of any other trapsnooter
n the world. Not once in these 11
years has his average Deen lower
than 96, meaning by this that he has
always been able to break more than
96 targets in every hundred all the
way up in the thousands, for Spencer
has fired at close to 5000 targets a
year in registered tournaments.
Kleven-Year Average .0077.
Spencer's average for 11 years is
.9677. He shot at 63,435 targets and
brolre 51.706. . Twice in this period
has he led all the trapshooters in the
country in the averages in 1909, and.
191.1. No shooter has ever equaled his
mark of 1909, that of averaging .9720
on more than 8000 targets, nor has
anyone ever touched his 1915 figures
when he. averaged .9750 on nearly
6000 targets. In 1909 at Viola, 111.,
Spencer compiled a run ot oto
straight, meaning that he broke 565
targets in succession. The shoot
lasted two days. Spencer broke the
entire programme of 200 targets each
day. and then on the second day he
continued for a record. After break
ing 565 he was forced to discontinue
shooting because he had no more
shells. This record still holds good.
Knenr.er is of the opinion that his
record run is more than 700 straight.
ha claims to have broken in the
neighborhood of 150 straight in the
next' shoot he went to after leaving
Viola, but as he has" been unable to
locate the figures his record will
have to stand as it appears in the
record book 565 straight.

Brown, a .senior from Amity, was'fhe

BY RICHARD R. SHARP.
Secretary Walter. B. Honeyman of
the Portland Boxing commission ex
pects to have his complete card for
next Friday night at the Armory
lined, up by this afternoon.
He has already clinched four of .the
bouts on the bill and has only the
seml-wlndUD to sign. Freddie Ander
son ' of Vancouver will meet Eddie
Shannon of San Francisco in the main
event of ten rounds, the match to be
billed for the lightweight champion
ship of the Pacific coast.
Shannon is one of the best light
weights ever developed west of the
Rockies and has fought among many
good boys, Benny t,eonara, iigui
weight champion of the world: John
ny Dundee andJohnny Kilbane.
since Invading tne nortnwesi sti
eral months ago Shannon has won
decisions over Harry Shuman, Earl
Balrd. "Puggv" Morton and fought
a six-round draw with Charley Whito
in Seattle.
Anderson's showing against Joe
Benjamin impressed the commission
and the fans that he would be a good
man to test Shannon with and should
make a worthy opponent for the clev
er San Francisco lightweight.
Honeyman had been figuring on
using Allie Nack. well known New
York 138 pounder, in the 10-round
semi-windup against "Puggy" Mor
ton,, but could not come to terms with
the latter. Frankie Jones, or some
other good battler, will bef pitted
against Nack in Morton's place.
Stanley Willis of Philadelphia and
Steve Dalton, aggressive San Fran
Cisco welterweight, will tangle in an
other 10-round scrap. The two short-
distance bouts will find Niel Zimmer
man meeting Irving Gleason of Se
attle and Earl Zimmelman versus
Jimmy Cole of Seattle. The first
match is scheduled to go six rounds,
while the curtain-raiser Is set for
four cantos.
m
Joe Gorman will meet Young Brown
in the main event of tonight's card of
fights at Dreamland rink, San Fran
Cisco. In meeting Brown, Gorman
will be tackling the toughest propo
sition he has yet attempted since his
return to California,
i Billy Mascott will meet Gene Ples
tena. while Alex Trambita9 is down
to meet Buck Holley.
Fred Fulton left Philadelphia yes
terday for Portland to finish training
for his 10-round battle at the Mil
waukle arena March 31.
Fulton's opponent has not yet been
named. It was originally planned to
stack Big Fred against the winner
of the Meehan-Walker match, but no
provision was made for a draw.
Matchmaker Frank Kendall is up in
the air, for the man may not use
either Meehan or Walker.
This Hugh Walker from Kansas
City is a very likely looking heavy
weight, and the best bet yet to appear
In a local ring from the east. He

Coach Qulgley's Jefferson high
school basketball team finished its
season yesterday with a victory over
the Hill Military academy five in a
game featured by rough playing and
disputes, in which the spectators
mixed in freely. The contest was
played on the Y. M. C. A. court and
the final score was 17 to 13.
The blue and gold quintet had
things pretty much its own way in
the first period. The Jefferson play
ers made most of their points in the
first session, getting a total of 13,
while they held the cadets to two
field baskets, but they slowed up con
siderably in the second period, with
the result that the cadets piled up
nine points while the democrats were
getting four.
Harold Robinson, cadet forward, led
his teammates in scoring with two
field baskets and three converted
free throws. Mike Godell of Jeffer
son worked the floor well and was
high man for the democrats with six
points. Steele and Watson also
showed to good advantage for
the blue and gold five. Youmans

before the schedule is completed, and
the Benson Tech school five will fig

This afternoon the Tech school quin
tet meets the Washington high five
on the Y. M. C. A. floor at 3 o'clock.
Whether or not the championship of
the league will go to one school or
result in a tie between two or three
of the institutions depends largely on
the outcome of the game today. A
defeat for either team this afternoon
will put it out of the running, while
a victory for the Washington tossers
will put them in the lead for the
title. Should .Benson get over the
Colonials this afternoon it will be tied
with Franklin for the leadership of
the league, and the final game of the
season between the Quakers and Met
chanics, which is scheduled for next
week, will decide the title.

"Two battalions of Marines
for immediate service In Haiti."
Not long ago that call went out
from the U. S. Marine Recruiting
Bureau. Within ten days those
two battalions were recruited,
equipped and ready to shove off.
And every man In those outfits was
a former soldier, sailor or Marine.
They found civil life too tame.
The "service" was In their blood,
and they could not get it out.
Strange? Not a bit of It. Ask
any one of "Jack" Pershing's gang.
Ask any ex-man-o' -war's man.
Oh, yes, we all growled at
for the Marine Corps were pro
moted from the ranks. These offi
cers, by their efUclenry ami valor,
have so amply demonstrated the
wisdom of developing the officer
material among the enlisted men,
that the system has been adopted
as a permanent feature of the
service. Any man who has the
makings of an officer In him
stands an excellent chance of ris
ing rapidly through the non-com-missloned
grades of corporal and
sergeant and "graduating" Into a
second lieutenant. After that he
has the snme opportunity of at
taining still higher rank as any
graduate of the Naval Academy.
In addition, some Marines re
selected each year to take the
four-year course at Annapolis,
upon completion of which they are
immediately commissioned second
lieutenants of Marines or ensigns
in the Navy.
When we remember that ther
Is one non-commlBsioned officer to

average ability and applies himself
can expect to remain a. private for
very long.

Nothing? was ever further from the
truth.
There is work to be done in the
Marine Corps. But It is good.

the cooks. Oh, yes, full packs
rubbed the skin oft our shoulders.
But
Remember those days when we
were fit as fiddles, could eat the
hind leg off a table and enjoy It,
could lick our weight in wildcats,
and weren't afraid to say so? And
remember the buddies who bunked
with us, hiked with us. scrapped
with us, took all our money, bum
med our tobacco, called us bad
names and would give us the
shirts off their backs if we asked
em? Somehow civil life doesn't
often give us friends like that. The
man who has never done a hitch
in the service has missed a lot
Isn't that so?
And for any man who is looklnr;
for service all sorts, kinds, con
ditions and varieties of service
the Marine Corns is the one best bet.

knows, an honorable discharge

can have. It is. In fact, a United

which stamps the possessor as "In
