and determine Just who are to be

Knockers Wield Hammers.
ultnomah's failure to win the P. N.
hampionships at Seattle has set the
kers to working overtime and many
-vmplimentary things have been said
ut certain members of the team. Dan
Kelly has beeen the object of most of
abuse and many unfair and unjust
arks have been made about him.
r since Kelly made his record at
rane last year, little bunches of
kers in different parts of the Pacific
hwest have neglected no opportunl-
to belittle tire Oregon sprinter and
r at his records. Most of these
ks have come from collegians who
Oregon's rivals in athletics and from
Vuntled sports here and there who
sore at Multnomah.
latest charge against Kelly is
j he was afraid to enter the Seattle
rij;t and feigned an Injury in order to
i ivoid a race with Martin, of Spokane,
f and Smlthson. Such talk is absurd and
whould have no place in the minds of
a!r-mlnded people. Kelly had nobody to
e afraid of at Seattle. Me was not
fraid of Smlthson. .
Besides, Smithson was not In condl
ion, as Ve was suffering from a badly
trained tendon. As for young Martin,
' didn't run fast enough to get warm,
iiistoii, an Oregon freshman who is
rot in Kelly's class, ran away from
r,artln and finished a close second to
iearhart. the Olympic man who won
he 100-yard dash. Had Huston not
en penalized for a raise atari ne
-nld have beaten Gearhart.
11 this talk about Kenya being
aid of his rival sprinters is pure
'ion. inspired by petty Jealousies
circulated by an anvil chorus tnat
! fair play. As a matter of fact.
llv strained a muscle in his leg on
e day before the meet and was not
ile to compete. Nobody regrets tne
cident more than Kelly himself, as he
as captain of the Multnomah team
d was especially anxious to win tne
et.
Cellv is now in Eugene, where he has
eepted a position for the Summer. He
recovering from nis injury ana ne
ould be in first-class shape by Juiy
Kelly is very anxious to go to
estown and as soon as -possible he
1 begin light work under the dlrec-
of Trainer Hayward. His progress
be watched with interest by his
hy friends tnrougnoui me worm
iest.
If the proposition of sending a four
an team to represent Multnomah at
imestown fails to materialize, the club
ay send Kelly and Hayward, provided.
I course, that the champion snows
anri form in his tryouts and is in shape
do himself and the club justice.
Despite the knock that he has re
vived, Kelly is still the idol of North-
es,t athletes and there are many in
nese parts who believe that he can
iow his heels to Charley rarsons or
ly other man. At any rate, Kenys
lends want him to have an oppor-
unity to go East and meet the best
nen of the country. The boy really
deserves the opportunity, as he has
f outclassed everything in the states of
fOregon, Idaho, Washington and Mon
I tana. There is some difference of
f opinion about the genuineness of "nis
f 8-5 seconds record at Spokane, but the
f cold fact remains that Kelly is the
J fastest sprinter that ever donned a
J spike in the Northwest.
Why Multnomah Lost.
Tt t as unfortunate for Multnomah
that Moores and McKinney were not
at the Seattle meet. Tne presence 01
these men, or either of them, would
' hrnnsht victory to Multnomah.
It has been said by the knockers that
Moores and McKinney deliberately
threw Multnomah down and that their
absence was part of a general precon
..!..... .u a hrinir ahout Multnomah's
f defeat. As a matter of fact, Moores
r Bnir timA had anv notion of
going to Seattle, as he had not finished
his final examinations. He was taken
ill with mumps the day before the meet
and would have been of no use to the
team had he been present. McKinney
was also detained by college work and
wired Manager Lonergan that he could
not leave Eugene.
To those who know Moores and McKin
ney. the charges that they gave Multno
mah the "double-cross" are absolutely
ridiculous. They are on a par with the
charge that Kelly was afraid of the other
sprinters. The Northwest needs a little
more good, clean athletic spirit and a
little more of the "square deal" doctrine.
Casting contemptible slurs at the best
athletes in this part of the country and
ouestloning their motives when things
fail to come out right are samples of
very bad taste.
This for San Francisco.
The San Francisco papers are crowing
lustily because the four-man team from
the Olympic Club won from the entire
Northwest. This kind of talk is silly
and brands the San Francisco crowd as

THE BAVT1AMS, CHAMPIOX BASEBALL TEAM OF THE CENTRAL WILLAMETTE VALLEY.
LEBANON, Or., July . (Special.) The accompanying illustration shows the .Santiams. the champion baseball team of the Central Willamette
Valley, which lost but two games this season. The players are as follows: Lower row Clark, center field; Simpson, right Held; Snyder, pitcher;
Dean, left field: Jesse Sawyer, short stop. Back row Arehart, second base; Sturtevant. catcher; Frank Sawyer, first base; EdgaT, pitcher and
third base; Nichols, thjrd base and utility man.
a bunch of poor sports. None of the
Northwest teams was a representative
team at the Seattle meet. Spokane had
only a few point-winners, Seattle had
only about hajf a team and Multnomah
had only one man. Zacharias, who won
a first place. Had Multnomah been rep
resented by her full strength, she would
have defeated Olympic by -an overwhelm
ing majority.
ALBANY HORSES WORKING OCT
Owners Getting Ready for Northwest
Circuit Races in Fall.
ALBANY, Or., July 6. (Special )
Five horses are now being worked out
at the S. S. Bailey track at this city
for the races of the NortlweBt Circuit
this Fall. They are Tidal Wave, Oma
A., Seattle, Doc Munday and Cap Ap
person. A great many other horses are
being trained at the track, which is
now a very busy place. A number of
improvements have been made in the
tables and others are in progress.
According to the present plans of
John E. Kirkland, manager of the
track, none of the horses will be en
tered In races until the State Fair.. He
will then enter Tidal Wrave and Oma A.
The other horses named will be taken
to the Fair Grounds, track this Fall to
work out also. Kirkland may then take
the string on the Northwest Circuit,
though this is not definitely decided.
It is planned to place Albany on the
circuit for next year's races. Bailey
considers the Albany track, which he
has leased for five years, as the fastest
in the state, and he has placed it in
fine condition. Prior to the races next
Fall he will lebuild the big grandstand
at the track, which was used when an
nual racing events were held here about
12 years ago.
TENNIS TOURNEY NEAR CLOSE
This Week Probably Will End the
Matches at Irvington Club.
The Irvington Tennis Club's annual
Spring' tourney is fast drawing to a
close, and it is expected that all the
matches will be played by next Satur
day. The few wet days in the past two
weeks have set the tourney back, and
a number of matches that were scheduled
to be played have been postponed. There
Is considerable complaint against the
state tennis finals being played at Mult
nomah Club. At Irvington there are six
clay courts, while at Multnomah there
are only two. At Multnomah the courts
are covered with asphalt, which placed
a player who has been accustomed to
clay, at a great disadvantage. The mem
bers of the Irvington Club concede" the
fact that the Multnomah has the right
to the State tourney, but all say that
the club officials should have all the
games played on the Irvington courts.
Nearly all the Multnomah Club players
are members of the Irvington Club, but
still they did not like the idea of play
ing the matches on the asphalt courts.
The hard surface of these courts injures
the feet of the players, and In a way
makes the game slower. With only two
courts to play on it would take con
siderable time to play off all the
matches.
BASEBALL FOR CHAUTAUQUA
Trl-City League Teams . and Che
mawa Indians' In Tournament.
Harvey E. Cross, secretary of the Wil
lamette Valley Chautauqua Association,
reports that the baseball tournament ar
ranged for this year's assembly, promises
to be of greater interest than ever. Five
of the best teams in the State will con
test for the championship as follows:
Bralnard's Cubs, Trunkmakers, North Pa
cifies (Brewers) and St. Johns, of the
Tri-Clty League, and the Chemawa In
dians. Umpire Cheyne, of the Trl-City
League, will officiate at the Chautauqua
series, for which the following schedule
of games has been arranged, one game to
be played daily at 3:80 P. M.:
July 9, Cubs vs. Chemawa; July 10,
Trunks vs. Brewers; July 11, St. Johns
vs. Cubs; July 12, Chemawa vs. Trunks;
July 13, Brewers vs. St. Johns; July 15,
Chemawa vs. Brewers: July 16, St. Johns
vs. Trunks; July 18, St. Johns vs. Che
mawa; July 19, Trunks vs. Cubs; July
20, final game between the two teams
in the lead.
SAFETY DEVICES LACKING
EXPERT SHOWS WHERE AMER
ICAN CARS ARE WEAK.
Noted Whip Suggests Improvements
, ' in Road Coach Construction
to Insure Greater Safety.
An incident of the recent coaching run
from New York to Tuxedo and return by
members of the Ladies' Four-m-Hand
Driving Club brought out one of the
weak points in the construction of road
coaches as practiced by American build
ers and indorsed by horse show Judges.
When descending the steep Fort Lee hill
on the return trip the chain by which
the tkid and the safety hook were at
tached to the front axle parted or pulled
loose and the ponderous vehicle was in
danger of running over the horses. This
It might have done had not one of the
women set the hand brake instantly, and
had not the wheelers of the team been
horses of unusual size and weight.
Morris E. Howlett, the noted profes
sional whip who was in charge of the
Defiance on this occasion, has always
maintained that the safety hook and the
skid should, have separate chains, at
tached to the axle in different places,
thus giving two entirely independent
chain brakes. American coaching men
and coach builders are accustomed to say
that such nice precautions are unneces
sary, but Mr. Howlett takes the view
that a public coach, like a railroad train,
should be supplied with every safety ap
pliance obtainable. "It's a part of the
game," he says, and rightly, It would
seem.
There is another feature of American
road coaches which Mr. Howlett criticises
with good reason. This Is the practice
of placing the hook on which the skid
hangs when not in use in such a way that
the guard cannot readily throw the shoe
under the wheel when the coach Is run
ning. This hook Is Just behind the brac
ket of the brake arm. and on nearly all
l coaches the hook opens rearward, so that
tne ekta, wnen taken on, is oacK oi
the brahe arm, where It cannot be ad-
Justed. If the coach is running the guard
is hanging on with one hand and thus
has but one with which to handle the
skid. Two hands are required to get
the skid past the brake arm and put
it In place under the wheel, as the hook
is now set. By merely turning the hook
the other way, however, so that Its op
ening Is forward, the skid could be lifted
oft in front of the brake arm and with
one hand thrown -under the wheel.
Stiil another improvement in coach
building advocated by Mr. Howlett Is a
horizontal pin Instead of the vertical pin
now used to fasten the pole in place in
the channel between the Inside futchells.
He points out the fact that the .present
style of construction leaves the pole free
to fly up, as if -on a hinge, in case the
plates which connect the futchells and
support the pole give way. Just this
thing has happened once or twice in Mr.
Howlett's long experience in road coach
ing, and each time a serious accident was
narrowly averted. As a proper precau
tion against such accidents he favors a
pin passing horizontally through the pole
and the futchells, .so that the pole will
be held in its place even If all four of
the plates give way.
ATLANTIC CITY'S AUTO FAIR
Elaborate Plans for Race on Ventnor
Beach Big Floral Parade.
The automobile carnival which is now
being arranged to take place in Atlantic
City for the week commencing Monday,
August 6, and consisting of a two days'
race meet on the well-known track at
Ventnor, under the auspices of .the Atlan
tic City Automobile Club, a grand floral
automobile parade on Pacific avenue and
a three days' exhibit of automobiles and
supplies on the famous million-dollar pier.
Is rapidly making advancement and the
promoters in that famous seashore resort,
headed by C. Wood Tatham, are now be
ing assured of having one of the most
successful carnivals ever arranged for in
this country.
The various business associations of At
lantic City have Indorsed the carnival,
and, coming as it does when their season
Is at its height, it means a week of spe
cial amusement for the visitors to that
city. '
Entries are being received at the offices
of the carnival company in Atlantic City
for the three events, while several match
races have also been arranged for.
The Automobile Trade Journal has ar
ranged to take care of the Information
bureau on the miion-dollar pier during
the carnival, while several enterprising
business associations and firms both in
Atlantic City and out of town have al
ready offered cups for various events both
In the raceB and In the parade. Harry
Levey, the well-known cleanser, has of
fered a cup valued at $500 for the finest
decorated auto in the parade, while the
management of the carnival has already
arranged for nearly 100 sliver cups for
the various events.
AFTER VANDERBILT CUP RACE
Florida Association Wants Meet for
Ormond-Daytona Beach. .
The Florida East Coast Automobile
Association is determined to get the
VanderMlt annual international cup
race run over the famous Ormond
Daytona Beach if such a thing is pos
sible. Major Arthur B. Foster, president of
the F. E. C. A. A., arrived in New
York this week from Cleveland and
had a conference with W. J. Morgan
at tho latter's office, and later met
former President Asa Paine, together
with First Vice-President George N.
Sebring. of Ohio, and Chairman of the
Race Committee Commodore A. H. Al
len, of Daytona. The former gentle
men all own fine Winter residences on
the Florida east coast and are strong
supporters of the A. A. A., as their
club is one of the early members of the
A. A. A.
A conference was had with some of
the national heads of the Racing Board
'of the A. A. A. and the Vanderbilt Cup
Commission, and it was learned from
the latter that Florida stands a good
chance of securing the great annual
road event. It is understood that if
proper protection in the, guarding of
the Lonsr Island course cannot be se
cured the first chance will be given
Florida to Ilold the race, and that the
chance will be taken advantage of
goes without saying.
It was the opinion of the Florida
people when In New York that the
beach course, with properly con
structed land loops at ends of the
course, will be the proper thing, and
it is predicted that all records would
be smashed if the races were given in
Florida instead of on Long Island.
CRAWFORD . NAMES HIS BATS
Detroit Player Loses "Horace,"
Which. Did Yeoman Service.
Few people who sit in the stands watch
ing Sam Crawford, of Detroit, as he
stands like some massive statue waiting
for the pitcher to wind up, know that all
his bats are named, just as the racehorse
man names his horses or the automobile
fan names his machines.
Last year Sam had a big, dark-colored
bat with which he' was lining the ball
over the infielders' heads every day.
During that New York serieB, and, in
fact, during the entire close of the sea
son, when the Tigers were going at a fast
clip, everybody on the team was using It.
"But Horace Is gone now," said Sam
with a quiet smile; "they broke poor Hor
ace. They splintered'him to pieces. I left
him alone In the clubhouse last Fall all
smashed up.
"Emma's gone, too, now. I broke
Emma yesterday. Emma was that little,
short, fat one."
The new bats came In recently, and
when the man from Wahoo sorted out his
the first thing he did was to cut his ini
tials in them. The second was to chris
ten them. There are Hans, and Fritz,
and Julia, and Grace and, last of all,
Horace II.
Funny Play In Atlanta Game.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
A funny play came up at Atlanta the
other day In a game between Atlanta
and Augusta. Sid Smith, the Atlanta
first baseman, threw his glove at a ball
that was hit over his head. He gauged
the speed and distance nicely and
struck the ball, it dropping right into
his hands. He claimed that the batter
was out. but the umpire rightfully
gave the Augusta batter a hit, as the
rules provide for just such a tricK.
NICK WHITEHEAD RESIGNS
MANAGER OF FRAKES
QUITS BASEBALL.
TEAM
He Is Succeeded by Hal Pomeroy.
Cubs Surprise Dopesters Trl
City League Gossip.
Nick Whitehead, manager of the Frakes
team of the Tri-Clty League, has resigned
and turned the management of the team
over to Hal Pomeroy, a well-known East
Side man. The cause of this action on
Whitehead's part- was that baseball af
fairs interfered with his private business
interests.
Whitehead is one of the most enthusi
astic baseball fans in the city. In 1S06 he
managed the old Monogram team, which
was sent to San Francisco, and thero
fought for the championship of the
Coast. During the Spanish-American War
Whitehead, at that time a member of
the Second Oregon, made up a team of
the men of -his regiment and won the
championship of the army over 13 other
teams. Whitehead has always been con
nected with baseball. He played left
field and second base for Multnomah
Club, and has filled positions with vari
ous other amateur and semi-professional
teams, u or tne last nve years Whitehead
has not played the game, but has devoted
himself entirely to managing teams, one
of the m.ost successful of which was the
.pantellas.
When the organization of the Tri-Clty
League was proposed Whitehead was one
of the first to boost the proposition. He
worked hard at it for months, and de
voted nearly all his time to the game. He
was instrumental in forming the League
and .putting it on a business basis, and
did more, perhaps, for the organization
man any other man.
Hal Pomeroy, the man who will succeed
Whitehead, has a fine reputation as a
baseball man. and ought to be able to
make a success, as Nick has, of the team.
The Brainard Cubs, the team that took
the two games from the Brews last
Sunday, certainly surprised the dopesters
of the League: Harry Smith's players
were counted as members of the down-and-out
club. Manager Helser cannot be
blamed, neither can the team. Most of
the regular players are on the sick list.
Helser was forced to pitch Ray in two
games in one day, and use a little fel
low, McBrlde. to catch. The Brews are
the making of a, good team, and If they
can be lucky enough to pull out of the
hospital class, they ought to make it
interesting ior me otner teams. They
naven t mucn cnance now in the pen
dant race, still they ought to be able to
pull up to second or third place. Pen
der, the big fellow who deserted Helser
for the Frakes, is a fine pitcher as long
as he has good support, but once' his
team begins to make bungles, the big
boy goes to pieces. With a fast team
such as the Frakes behind him, he ought
to do wonders.
"Dandy" Joe Fay will not be back in
harness for two weeks. A bad leg which
has been bothering him ever since be
was Injured while playing for Portland
in the series against Los Angeles, does
not seem to grow better, and Joe is
forced to go about with -a cane. He is
the mainstay of the whole Frakes in
field, and the Milliners would stand
better chance against Woodburn today
if they had the "Dandy Kid" In at short.
The Woodburn-St. Johns game on
Wednesday was a hot one. Fighting an
uphill game from the first Inning, the
Apostles never gave up, but continued
to play harder. A long drive by Clarke
Moore in the ninth, made with two on
the perches, was called foul by Umpire
Rankin, and lost the game for the Apos
tles. Nearly everybody who saw the ball
stated that it was fair.
Manager Partlow, of the Trunks, has
picked up a new team altogether, and in
fact will be able to show the other teams
some baseball wrinkles. Partlow has
been playing under hard luck throughout
the whole season. Bhockley, a new man
from Pendleton, will play second, and
from his record In the brush, ought to
make good. He is a fast man on his feet.
a fair hitter and has all the good quali
ties of a ballplayer. -
GOSSIP OF DIAMOND
Beavers Strengthened by the
Acquisition of Atherton.
GOOD SHAPE TO WIN GAMES
After Next Week at San Francisco,
Portland Will Have Six Straight
Series at Home Two Men
Are to Be Dropped.
Jack Atherton, the tardy nrst-sacker
of the Beavers, has at last -wandered
into the fold. Tuesday afternoon. In
the opening game with Hi Henry Ber
ry's crew, the big fellow made his first
appearance. He did not shine partic
ularly in that game, and has not been
doing very much since, but it must
be remembered that he is new. in- a
week or so he will probably get used
to the team and play in his old lorm,
There is no denying the fact that
Atherton has a good reputation in the
Trl-State League, and ought to show
Just as well here.
With Athrton at first and Schimpft
at short, the fans couldn t want much
more. Should Yates show up, Mo
Credie will have a chance to release
the two bushers, Wilson and Wallace,
and put the hard-hitting college lad
in the outfield. This fellow Wallace
doesn't seem to amount to much. Out
of ten times at bat last week, he did
not get one hit, and in one case was
responsible for the loss of a game.
Wilson is a atlck, too. -He can run
under a fly and take It, and that is
about all. In the few games he played
at home he was the easy mark for the
opposing pitchers. Nearly every time
at bat he was osoned.
There has been a great deal of com
plaint from the wise ones, and one of
the stock-in-trade arguments that the
knockers put up was, "Why don't Mc
Credle get a first baseman and a short
stop?" Well, he has both now, and Is
showing the balltossers of the South
land the way the National game ought
to be played.
A dispatch from Los Angeles states
that at the afternoon game on the
Fourth a large crowd of 2500 people
attended. There were nearly that
many present at the Tri-Clty League
game In Portland. If that is the way
that the- people of the South support
a winning team, HI Henry Berry cer
talnly deserves pity. At the last
game that the Beavers played here.
before the trip south, the attendance
was 5000. Then there were 6000 peo
ple t the races at Irvington and 1000
at the ball game at St. Johns.
The Beavers have a week with Kid
Mohler's crew, then six straight series
at home. If they are able to break even
with the Seals they should crawl up
some at home. They are now getting
dangerous, even all the Southern sporting
authorities now admit that the Beavers
are now a figure in the pennant race.
Pat Donahue, the little backstop, is now
called the "aggressive" Mr. Donahue, be
cause of his habit of asking umpires to
come out behind the backstop. Donnie
isn't quite as bad as old Cap Dillon, or
Kid Mohler or even he Isn t In a class
with Street..
There is some talk that MrCredie has
traded Ben Henderson for three players
to the Boston Nationals. Anderson is
witn btockton, ana a few months ago
McCredle had a deal on with Tenny, of
the Nationals, to - trade the pitcher.
Henderson refused to go unless he re
ceived part of the purchase money, and
as McCredle refused to talk with him on
that basis, it was thought that the deal
was off. Tenny may have completed other
arrangements with Bennie thereby, but
at present It is not known whether there
is any truth to the report. Tenny is in
the South looking for players.
On the morning of the Fourth, Hi Hen
ry Berry tried out a couple of young
bushers. Gamble and Fraezer, who had
played the game with the Beaver Hart
men. The youngsters certainly got
bumped a few, and after the game was
over. Hi Henry avowed that he would
accede to the demands of the public no
more, and never again would hire a play
er because he was a Native Son. It seems
that the two youngsters are popular in
the Southland.
Bill Sweeny, who was traded to the
Boston Nationals by the Chicago Cubs,
has not been given a chance to show up.
Bill has been, unfortunate during the
whole season, and has been on the bench
most of the time.
Catcher Street, of the Seals, who is
back Jn the game, after a week in the
hospital, had something more than a bad
leg. It was rumored among the players
that the big backstop and Barney Joy,
the Kanaka twirler, had a personal
encounter during the Oakland-San Fran
cisco series, and that the result was a
week in the hospital for the man who
works tho receiving end for Mohler's
crew.
Rumor has it that Kit Carson and
Bassey will be handed releases, and that
the two new men, Yates and Atherton,

horsepower, and its readability has been demonstrated over
the worst roads in America. The Oldsmobile is the only real
rival of the horse. It is under absolute control and has no
complications, can be stopped instantly with a single move
ment in four different ways cannot tip over, never gets

few days more. A broken hand is the
cause of his dropping out. While playing
here, Moore was bothered by a badly
plit hand, an injury which would have
caused almost any man to stop playing.
But he was game, and played every day. i
In the games with Oakland he led the '
team In hitting, and is credited with.
seven hits out of 16 times at bat.
BRIGHT FOOTBALL OUTLOOK
Oregon Has Splendid Material to
Replace Lost Veterans.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene.
Dr., July 6. (Special.) Despite the loss
of Chandler, Hug, Latourette, McKinney
and possibly Moullen, the prospects for a
strong football team at the University of
Oregon are exceptionally bright. Of the !
players above mentioned the first four
were graduated last month, while Moul
len has accepted a position at Modesto,
CaL, and will, in all probability, not con
tinue his college course.
Out of the 17 men who played on the
varsity eleven last season, 12 will be in
college next semester. The team will bei
captained by Gordon C. Moores, '08, tne
speedy end rush. Another candidate for
end will be Hawley, '10. formerly captain
of the Baker City High School team.
Hawley played in Captain Chandler's
place in the last half of the Thanksgiv
ing game against Multnomah last year.
Walker, '1, an old Corvallis player; Har
vey Huston, '08. formerly of the Univer-j
slty of California, and M. Hurd, '10. will
also try for the end positions. Arnspiger,
08, will appear for the last time in his1
tackle position, and Hammond, 'OS, will
play at guard or tackle. Scott, '10; Glllis.l
'10; Mclntyre, '09, and Pinkham, '10, are!
among the big fellows who will try for'
line positions. They are all experienceii'
men. capable of putting up a fine game.
Behind the line, Oregon will have Kuy
kendall, '08, the reliable little quarter
back, who distinguished himself last sea-,
son; Zacharias, '08, and Clark. '10, the
big halfbacks. McKlnneys place at full
back will be hard to fill, but it Is thought
that Clark will be shifted to fullback, as
he played that position before coming to
college. Clark Is a better punter than
Moullen, but is not as certain on place
kicks. Dodson, "10; Oberteuffer, "08. and
several old second-team players will try
for positions behind the line.
Besides the many veterans who will
candidates for the team Oregon will have
a large number of freshmen, who will
make the older players fight hard in
order to retain their positions. Manager
Kestly says that some of the freshmen
players are just as good as several of
the old varsity men and that they will be
given an equal opportunity to make the
team.
The varsity schedule, which include
games with Pacific, Idaho. Willamette.
Washington, Corvallis, Multnomah and
possibly Pullman, has already been an
nounced. Manager Kestly will also
arrange a series of games for the second
team.
Coach Gordon B. Frost will reach Eu-
gene on September 22. He is now in the
East, where he will make a study of the
latest methods of coaching during the
Summer. He will remain in the East
until the early season practice begins at
the big universities and will be well pre
pared for his season's work. It is high
ly probable that Chandler, Hug. McKin
ney and other veteran men of the Oregon
team will come to Eugene for a few
weeks next Fall in order to help Frost
put the finlshlng touches on the team be
fore the important games.
