4 TIIE SUXDAT OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 20, 1916. OREGQN SHORT Of! BALL VETERANS Freshmen Aspirants Many but Team Can't Be Built Up on First-Year Men. SLAB SHORTAGE GREATEST Coach Bezdek Hus Hands Full With Heavy Game Schedule on Tapis . Snitches Made First Base man Tried at Pitching. PKIVEKSITV OF OREGON. Eugene. Feb. 19. (Special.) When surveyors started work this week laying out the site of the new educational building they spelled the doom of the baseball diamond that haa been used by varsity teams for the last fiva years.! The meadow on the western side of the campus has been the scene of .many a hara-lougnt conzerence -contest. ui the last one has been played, for the new structure will take away the left fielder's ' stamping ground. Manager Tiffany announced that he would utll lie the girls hockey field for this com ing season, as the new 110,000 athie" field would not be completed until - next Fall. But the field outlook has not kept practice from going on. The extremely favorable weather of the past week has brought out a half hundred re emits seeking drill under Coach Bea dek. Thursday the first practice game was played; Friday was given over to bunting, and this afternoon the secon practice game was played between the varsity prospectives and the. freshmen. Even though the Ditchers have not um bered up with any breaks and simply have lobbed the Dans over me piaic, they have showed up the batters in very unfavorable light. Of new mate' rial not a single man has been un covered who can slug the pill and make the coach think he did It intentionally. Perhaps the pitchers are proving foxy set. but critics in the bleachers are inclined to think otherwise, for. outside of Bill Tuerck, the only othe mound men are squad men of last year. Dick Nelson has been taken from hi old place at first and made to do mound duty. The big boy has speed ana lnai cations are than when the season farther along he will get the globul to hopping in great style. Scoop Kathbun. Sammy Bullock and Walte Kennon are other lads endeavoring to make the pitching staff whom the coach is looking over carefully. To fill Nelson's place on first, Joe McLean, a doughnut star of last year, has been given the mit. At present - the vacancy on third caused by the . drafting of Skeet Bigbee into the big leagues is being filled by Harold liaison, a promising candidate. There is little competition for infield post Hons. Captain Cornell has still failed to make his appearance, and the pro traded illness of Walter Grebe makes the chances for his getting into the game this year look pretty slim. heavy schedule has been arranged for this season. It follows: March 31. April 1. Chemawa at Eu gene; April 7-8, Washington at Eu gene; April 9-15, California - Berke. ley; April 8-29, Washington at Seattle May 5-S, O. A. C at Eugene; May 12-13, O.

It wound up by Bob's playing our best ball. I've watched him in many a tourna ment but never had I seen him as great as he was this day. He was per fection. Try as hard as we would, he was four up on our best ball at the nd of nine holes. Well, we rested a few moments and looked over our scores. We found that Gardner had a wonderfully low score. He was four under par and ght under bogey. It was way down In the 30s. With any kind of work on the return journey he would smash the course record all lo smithereens. He happened to hold this record him self, and I claim that any man any ordinary golfer, I mean would have tried his best to lower that mark. "Imagine, then, our surprise when he looked up, saw his sister over by the clubhouse, and started to leave us. "'Hey, Bob" shouted one of the boys, aren't you going to try for that course record? It's in your hands, easy." Gardner smiled. 'Oh. not today," he replied. 'I want to see my sister. I can try for it some other day." And he walked off. "That proved to me that Gardner is neither a grandstand player nor a man who is overwhelmed by a crisis. It was merely in the day's game for him." Junction City Beats Shedd, 40-17. JUNCTION CITY.

CHICK EVAXS SEEPS STANDING Golf Star Retires From Publication of Sporting Magazine. PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 11. Coming at Just this time, the announcement re ceived here that Chick Kvans nao re tired from the corporation of a West ern golf publication, of which he was vice-president. Is likely to be consid ered significant, especially as he signed the statement himself. Of course, many will think he found the amateur situa. tion growing too hot for comfort. As a matter of fact, the trenches con taining the amateur writers are still beyond the firing line, although it Is only a question of time when the Na tional guns will be trained on them. Therefore Evans is to be congratulated upon getting in out of at least part of the wet, although doubtless financial and other reasons were mainly respon sible for his action. Other amateurs who will b particu larly interested in his retirement are Walter J Travis and Max Behr. who are financially interested in similar sheets. Evans" step doubtless marks the be ginning of the end of the abuse of star players' names as trademarks, going back about four years. It began with the writing of books, but, unfortunate ly, the volumes did not sell, so recourse was had to the magazines and daily papers, to which several of the em balmed chapters were transferred with out much disguise.

He has Just 10 old men on whom he can depend at all to train and of this number there are about three on whom he can non count on points. There are, however, about 24 upperciassnicn out for track, but they have been attracted by ih minor competition and the good woath- er. As lor value they are not as good as freshmen, for they have never trained before and their years of inactivity make them harder to handle, with tho chances slightly favorable of producing any point winners. In conference meets Hayward Is al lowed to enter 12 men. In former years he has entered on the average four freshmen In such meets. That means that he has depended upon four men tn help him brins home the never-failing championship, wilh eisht old men help ing. This year the best he can do Is enter 10 old men and lose out on tho wealth of material running loose in the first-year class. But there is no telling what Bill l liable to do. Thirteen yeurs ago ho took hold of the Albany College team. That team was composed of Just seven men, and most of them were Inexpe rienced at that, at least they were far from being "phenoms." But he mado out of each man h versatile star. A hurdler was anything from his speciaJ event to a weightman. And while these seven men did not take all the firsts, they took the seconds and thirds, nnd when the scliedti le. for the season was finished Bill Hayward and his hungry seven were the champions of Orrann and the credit went for the first time to Albany College. Practice for tho past week has been simply that of Umbcrlnu; up by JoKKlng around the track and Hun starting from marks a little. This training will be followed for about another week and then the real hard grind will he gin. Much more time will he given the track men this year for gettlnu In shape than has been granted hereto fore. For with the demolielumnt of the coliseum at Columbia University in Portland went the hopes for an April indoor track meet this year. This may mean the salvation of Hill Ilaywnrd's crew.

I'arke Davis, the rrlnceton University deleirato to the meeting, in discussing poasiblo action at tho con ference, said recently: "From the East arises a cry that to secure a touchdown the nail should ne actually touched behind the goiil line. From the West comes a Mit-Vest ion tliat the try for Roal following a touchdown should bo abolished. The movement to requine tho ball actually to be touched down behind the line to constitute a touchdown arises from the disputes of spectators following two instances in the mujor pnmes of the East in which some of the latter be lieved that the hall in each Instance actually croBsed the line, allliouKh Un official in these games ruled otherwise. The movement to abolish tho goal followinR a touchdown has always had its advocates and hus been stronnly advanced many times before the rules committees. The itoal after touch down, however, has been and .-houl-l lie retuined in the name because of Its preat historical Interest, because II is un attractive feature of play and be cause no sound nrsumeut has been, or can be, advanced for Its elimination. 'A feature of play that really calls for action is the nractlce which bp- peared here and ther? du inir the Fall amonjc players on defense of icnorlnr the flipht of the ball on it forward pass and deliberately puttintr the player tryinir to recover the ball out of the play by iolent "body knocking' at the expense of a ten-yard penalty.
