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

men were going to indulge in a four
some, and before we started Bob Gard-
er came in. We invited him to go
round with -is, for it's always good
sport to play with a man like Card
er. 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."

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.

UNIVERSITY OK OREOOX. Kufciir,
Feb. 13. (Speiiul.) Tho warm, balmy
weather of t tie past few days hus
hroupht out track aspirants by t li
score, and Iho fairly fast track has fell,
the sting of spikes, as Hill Hayward
ent his prospectives around the roursn
for curly season conditioning. Fresh
men are showing hugo interest in the.
work, even though the freshman rule
bars them from varsity service. SO com
ing out nightly. But freshmen will not.
make a championship team for this year
and no one realizes that better than
does Bill Hayward.
Bill is up against the stlffest propo
sition he has ever had to face. 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.

Changes in the playing code for next
season. 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. This is
the only Rlarlng defect that tho season
of lflB disclosed In the present rule
