officially opened this week. More than
40 men were on the main drill field,
punting and passing, despite the heat.
The first call was for nrts and half
backs only. They turned In from all
barracks, and even a number of tack
les, guards and centers could not re
sist the temptation, and slipped into
the squad.
Great Lakes is preparing for a cham

Nucleus Several Freshmen
From 1917 Squad Promise
. to Do Good Work.
When the University of Oregon lines
up this year on the first football call,
Hugo Bezdek is going to find himself
minus a few of his veterans in fact,
it seems that only three lettermen will
be back. Medley, the star backfield
man: Wilson, end. and Leslie, Center,
are the only ones to be back this Fall.
There are a few of last year s second
team men, however, who ought to make
good steady backs and linemen.
Of the members of the freshman
team, who made such a good showing
last Fall, eight or nine will be on hand
again. Frans Jacobberger, last year s
freshman fullback, may have to take
Steers' place. Jacobberger is a former
Portland, Columbia University,, player,
and is an excellent kicker and passer.
'Jake" should be a valuable man.
Brandenburg of Bend, Or., Chapman of
Marshfield, Blake of lone. Or., and
Jacobberger formed last year's Fresh
man backfield, and with the assistance
of Medley, should develop Into a fine
offensive and defensive quartet.
Carl "Mob" Mauntz, a former Wash
ington High School student and the
mainstay of last year's freshman line,
will play tackle for the varsity. John
Kennedy, a former Jeffersonian, and
Trowbridg-e, who. has also seen four
years on the same high school squad.
will fight it out for the other tackle.
They will have their hands full, as
there are a few of last year's second
sauad who are developing rapidly.
Gilbert of Mapleton, and Dufur of
Woodburn, Or., are going to fight out
for the end positions. Both starred on
last year's Freshman nine, and will
make a strong bid against strong com
petition. ' '
Bob Cosgrlff, last year's freshman
half. Is now in the Army. To Dean
Walker's estimation Cosgrlff would
have made one of the greatest backs
In the country. This was Bob's first
year on the gridiron and he showed
wonderful progress. He was president
of his graduating class in Lincoln-High
School, and never saw the pigskin until
Walker took hold of hint.
Athletics will be fostered this year
to the fullest extent. Not only will
there be a varsity eleven, but all the
classes will have, teams, and there will
be an inter-company league, each coin
pany having a team. Colonel Leader
military commandant, has never seen
a football game and is eager for the
season to start.
Hugo Bezdek will be on hand when
the school term opens. Bezdek expects
to have his team out in the front. Dean
Walker wifl have charge of the fresh
man squad, and is eager to arrange
games with freshman squads of other
college elevens. A game may be ar
ranged with the Multnomah Club sec
ond team.
The schedule Is one of the heaviest
In years, and the players who make
the elevens will have two splendid
trips to California. The Freshmen are
to have more athletics this Fall than
ever before, to help make them phys
ically fit when their time comes to go

CROW SHOOT IS ANNOUNCED
Appropriate Prizes Will Be Offered
for Event in 1919.
In connection with a campaign In the
Interests of food conservation and the
protection of Insectivorous and game
birds, the largest of all American pow
der companies plans to conduct during
1919 a National crow shooting contest.
Appropriate state and National prizes
will be offered for those wno kin tne
largest number of these destructive
birds.
The crow is one of the greatest de
stroyers of bird life on this continent.
It Is an arch-enemy of game birds and
crops. The Pennsylvania Game Commis
sion is of the opinion that each crow
destroys more wild life annually than
any fox, weasel, wildcat, mink or
human hunter.
During the first several weeks of
their existence the young of game
birds and of perching birds are fed on
animal food, chiefly in the form of in
sects, and each will consume dally an
amount equal to Its own weight.
A young crow while in the nest will
consume an amount of food equal to
three or four times its own weight, and
only a small part of this food consists
of insects. Most of it Is made up of
the eggs and the young of other birds,
which, if left alive, would be of benefit
in the protection of crops.
In addition to the harm done in de
stroying useful birds, crows spread con
tagious and Infectious diseases, such as
foot and m6uth disease.
Crow shooting is a fascinating as
well as a useful sport. What can be
accomplished when the sport is proper
ly organized Is Illustrated by the activi
ties of the "Crow Shooters ana wouia
be Crow Shooters" of Canton, South
Dakota. Each year they hold a crow
hunt. In the last two hunts a total
of 158-shooters took part and a total of
516 crows were killed.
Grand American Handicap Tournament
Brings Entries From Practically
, Every State In Union,
BT PETER P. , CARNEY,
Leading Authority on Trapshooting.
It is interesting to know where the
trapshooters who participate in the
grand American handicap trapshooting
tournament come from.
This trapshooting event the classic
of trapdom the greatest sporting
spectacle of modern times, attracts
from virtually every state and Canada.
There was a feeling that with the
country at war and so many trapshoot
ers in the service that the entry list In
the grand American would be cut In
two, on. In other words, that there
would not be more than 400 entrants
But the fact that the country is at
war has helped trapshooting. It Is
true that there were not as many en
tries as In other years, but when one
takes Into consideration that 620 en
tered and 598 started, trapshooting
must be reckoned as the sport of the
Nation.
The "learn-to-shoot" slogan has been
Instilled into young Amepica and it
was the young men that brought up
the numbers in the grand American
this year. With traps In the canton
ments, In the flying schools, behind
the trenches in France, and with trap
shooting as one of the courses in which
proficiency must be attained to become
an aviator, there will be hundreds of
thousands more trapshooters when the
war is over than there are now,
It was a pleasure to note in the
grand American handicap so many
men in service uniforms. The cham
plon of Indiana, G. R. Shuck, had a
two days' .leave to defend the honors he
won In Ms state. R. H. rvin, who
was the runner-up in T idlana, is in
the Navy, and he was on hand In the
event that Shuck could not defend the
title. There were dozens of others In
khaki, including Walter Hofer, instruc
tor in shooting at Scott Field, Belle
ville, 111., who represented the avia
tion branch of the service In the tour
nament.
In last year's grand American, Louis
iana, Maine, New Hampshire, Nevada,
New Mexico and Rhode Island were not
represented. These states were again
without representation. Idaho and
Arizona were also without representa
tion. Forty-one states and Canada were
represented In the handicap. Bankers,
farmers, clerks, mechanics, men and
women of all walks of llf- met and
shot on equal terms. One could go
down the list and find many names of
prominence. There was Remy, of the
Remy magneto; Stutz, the builder ot
the Stutz car; Hedstrom, Inventor ol
the Indian motorcycle, and many others
of equal importance in the business
world.
Illinois led In the number of entries,
as it has for the past five years.
There were 204 entries from Illinois,
about one-half cf them being from
Chicago. The entries from each state

The Foundatlon-McCormlck game to
day at the Vaughn street grounds bids
fair to draw the largest crowd of base
ball fans of any single game played In
the Columbia-Willamette Shipbuilders
League this year. The winner today
will probably be the team that will in
the post-season series of games be de
clared the champion of the Columhia-
Willamette Shipbuilders' League. The
Foundation team won the pennant In
the first half of the season after a
struggle, but has not ben so fortunate
the second half of the season and Mc
Cormick looks like the champion for
the second stretch of play. Today's
game will give the fans a line on Just
what kind of a post-season series of
title games they will see. Manager
Cason of the Foundation team had the
outfit out in the Vaughn street lot
every night last week, and If his men
were ever fit for a battle they should
be fit for McCormick today.
Eddie Mensor will bring his McCor
mick team to Portland accompanied by
at least 600 rugged St. Helens rooters,
who have been eating raw meat all
week. At least 250 of them have drawn
all of their available cash that is not
In liberty bonds and will try to double
their money if any Foundation kale ia

Either "Lefty" James or "Rube"
Evans will work on the mound for
Foundation, while Big Oscar Harstad
will twist his slanters for St. Helens.
Harstad has been invincible so far this
season and looks good.
Two other games of Interest will bo

today. One will be featured In St.

Wash. "Buck" Keith's Peninsula ag

at St. Johns, while Grant Smith-Porter
will journey across the river and take

Peninsula to Give Comfort Battle.
Two weeks ago If any fan had the
nerve to suggest that the Penlnsula
Cornfoot game would be worth seeing,
his rationality would have been in
vestigated but today it Is different.
Last Sunday Peninsula made such a
great showing with Ray Baker on the
mound that it is all a mistake If they
do not give Cornfoot a battle today.
Grant Smith-Porter is also coming
along a little better and will be fight
ing all the time with Standlfer.
A nicked team from the Vancouver
Barracks defeated Freeman's All-Stars,
an aggregation ot snipDuiiaers, at
Vaughn street yesterday afternoon by
the score of 4 to 3. The contest gave
the handful of fans on hand plenty of
action. Teck Blanchard pitched for

Trotting Gossip.
A unique incident occurred in an open
handicap for 25 pounds at a trotting
meetinn in Dublin, Ireland, on July 22.
In the final Terry and Lord Droghoda
trotted a dead heat In 2:41. As the
owners would not divide the stakes.
the pair were again sent over the
course and made another dead heat in
2:41. This did not improve matters
any, so tne pair rroiiea anotner miie,
which was also declared a tie, in 2:42.
The owners then agreed to divide, after
having placed on record the first triple
dead-heat performance in light harness
racing.

feel." That's why 85 of the country's
shooters' use them. See that the name
Dupont or Ballistite is on every box of
