'With nine base ball letter men eligible for varsity honors again this year, and numerous stars from previous frosh nines ready j to turn out. prospects for a formidable baseball team this season are very bright. The way things look at pres ent, CoscJ. hy Huntington will have a difficult ta&K ahead of him in pick ing the nine best men out of the horde of excellent players who will report when the first call Is sounded for candidates. Four of last year's veterans will not report this season, but these four were among the top-notchers of the game last year, and will be sorely missed. "Dot" Medley, "Billy" Morri son, Jimmy Sheehy and Dwight Wil son probably will not turn out. Medley and Sheehy each covered portion of the outer garden, and both wielded the stick with precision. WIIwm May Ketnrn. Morrison held down the second sack, and. being built close to the ground rarely let a ball get by his section of the infield. "Billy," on account of his size, could almost be depended upon to get a walk to first evury time he picked up a bat. Dwight Wilson was the sTab artist who could be depended upon most during the last two seasons, and his absence will necessitate the creation of another clever hurler to take his place. There is a rumor about the campus that "Chief" Wilson may re turn, and if he does, he will prove a welcome addition to the heaving staff. Three old veteran stick-wielders are in school Jay Fox. shortstop; Bill Steers, an outfielder, and Art Berg, a pitcher, all members of the 1918 team. Fox was one of the foxiest infielders on the team at that ime. and clever with the stick. Steers is a slugger who ran off with the batting honors the season he played on the varsity, and "Ice" Berg, is a cool, clever twirler, who also knows how to handle a bat. Berg Adda to Pitching Staff. Berg's return strengthens consider ably the crew of pitchers who will greet Coach Huntington at the start of the season. Eddie Turno and Francis Jacobberger, who helped guide the varsity through last season, will also try for berths on the pitching staff. - Little Dick Shim, who worked miracles on last year's frosh nine, will report in a suit at the beginning of the season, and will undoubtedly be one of the best candidates for a permanent Job on the staff. Besides these men, there are two likely prospects, who have never worn a varsity suit, but who will very likely add a great deal of strength to the crew of twlrlers. Carl Knud son. a southpaw, is said to have worked wonders in the box for an eastern Oregon amateur team, and can also handle a bat In the Babe Ruth style. Jacob Jaeobson, another candidate, pitched a great deal dur ing his high school days, and saw last season through oi a navy team, playing against several strong teams of the middle west. Formidable Twirl Likely. From this list, it would seem that the pitching staff would be a formid able one, but the middle of the season may tell a different story to Coach Huntington. For Catcher "Jiggs" Les lie, who did the receiving for the varsity last year, and Vince Jacob berger. of last year's frosh nine, are likely looking candidates. Eddie Durno is also a catcher of no mean ability, and if he is not used on the mound, may be given a chance behind the bat. There was some talk of using Bill Steers at the receiving end instead of in the outer garden, and he may decide to try out for the catcher Job. With this likely looking crew. It looks as if the lemon-yellow would have but little difficulty In scraping together a formidable battery for the coming conference season. Pitching has for several years been Oregon's weak point, but this season s pros pects are encouraging. Coach Hunt ington was himself a catcher on the Oregon varsity, and probably will be able to develop a good backstop out of the crew of candidates. Llad 1.00m a for Flrat. At the initial sack, taptain Herman Lind seems to have the inside track, although two members of last year's frosh nine will likely offer some stiff competition. Roy Veatch covered first during the early part of the frosh sea son last year, but was kept out of the game on account of a sprained ankle, and his place taken by George Black. Both are ready to don a suit again this season. Captain Lind was one of the most dependable hitters on last year's team, and covered the tef rttory around first like a pro. For the second base position. Carl Lei be of the frosh nine of last year looks good. As there are a number of shortstop candidates, it is likely that some of them may shift their terri tory to second Instead, as Lelbes seems to be the only candidate for that Job at present. Shortstop candidates Include two former letter men and two members of former frosh nines. Jay Fox and Billy Reinhm have cavorted around short for the varsity in different years, and both are clever players. "Dinty" Moore, and "Skeet" Manerud are other shortstop prospects, who have played on previous frosh nines, and will probably offer some stiff competition for the post. . . ( Veterana In Outfield. At third, Johnny Houston, of last year's varsity, and Johnny Finneran, who was a whizz on third during his freshman year, are candidates. Fin neran is not in school at present, but a rumor has it that he will be on hand I next term, and ready for the first call to be sounded for the spring sport. For the outfield positions, two old varsity letter men will report, and these two seem almost sure of berths. Bill Steers and Johnny Gamble are both "big league" sluggers, and cover their territory in the pasture like old-timers. For the other posi tion in the oMter garden. George LiLouue, Jim Say, "Dash" Medley and h ?V4 J - Sr-. " . ill - . " i - . i : r - W 1 GIL OOBIE PRAISES WESTERN FDOTCALL Eastern Game Not All It Is Cracked Up to Be.

"Scotty" Straehan will likely report, all having experience on previous frowh nines. The varsity season last year was nothing sensational, the lemon-yellow getting away with only one con ference victory out of all the games played. The year before was more successful. Oregon winning a series from O. A. C. with seven out of eight games in the victory column. This' year baseball fans are hoping for a conference cleanup. No schedule has been arranged as yet, but it is practically certain that the varsity will be seen in action against the Oregon Angles and the University of Washington. It is also likely that games with California schools will be angled for, although nothing has been announced. PULLMAN EETS 3 STIRS TKACK ATHLETES TO liK BACK IX HXEVP IX Sl'lllXG.

Omega Five. or Vancouver VMI1 I r j to Even , I'p With Parkway Team on Monday. South Parkway will play the Jef ferson High basketball team on the latter's floor Thursday night, accord ing to an announcement made yester day by Sam Tessier, manager of the l arkway five. The Jefferson team is the first high school quintet that the Parkway team has met this season and will probably give the Winged S hoopers more opposition than they have met so far this year. The return of Morris Rogoway to the Parkway team will greatly strengthen it and his presence at the center position will make a more evenly balanced team. Monday the Parkway team will stage a return game with the Omega five of Vancouver, Wash., on the Van couver floor. In the first contest Parkway was returned the winner, but'the boys were off color when it came to shooting and believe they can run up a larger score in the next game. Omega, on the other hand, will try to even matters up by beating the local team. Manager Tessier has several teams in mind whom the Parkway team would like to play and will probably arrange an out-of-town schedule early this week. The South Parkway second team won its first game of the season last week against the High School of Commerce. Both Managers Tessier and Pander of the first and second teams are anxious to secure games and can be reached at the B'nai B'rith building. Thirteenth and Mill streets. WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE, Pullman, Jan. 17 (Special.)

"Shy"' Huntington Commended lor Showing Agraint Harvard. Amiy-Xavy Clash Described. SEATTLE. Wash.. Jan. 17. (Spe cial.) Football in the east isn't what It is cracked up- to be. Several west ern elevens could have smeared this year's Annapolis eleven, conquerors of the army and considered one of the strongest machines of the east. This from a man who has taught both teams, and a man who many Seattle gridiron followers will- maintain is the greatest coach in football GU Dobie. An intensely interesting letter from the former Washington tutor to ona of his Seattle ' friends reveals for the first time Just what Gil Doble thinks of eastern football as compared to that of the west. It proves that when Mr. Western Fan spends his dollar for a ticket to a 'Washington-Oregon struggle he sees just as good football as the person who invests five bucks to witness Harvard beat Yale or the middies trim the army. Dobie also has a boost for Shy Huntington. "I read with a good deal of interest the account of the Oregon-Harvard game." he wrote. "I feel the Oregon boys are entitled to a good deal of praise for the showing they made. Harvard was not the best team in the east this year, but it was a repre sentative team, and from the accounts I have seen Oregon held them about even. Considering that they have a young, inexperienced coach at Oregon, I think the showing was all the more remarnable. Bill Grimm Slighted. Further than that. Walter Camp. father of the mythical "all-American," passed up one of the two best tackles the country when he netrlected to place Bill Grimm, Washington line man, on his 1920 eleven. Dobie says frankly that he thinks the youngest of the famous Grimm brothers should have been awarded a place on Mr. Camp's mythical team. The former Washington coach has this to say in comparing the eastern and western teams: "Having had three years' experience in eastern football, I cannot say that I am particularly impressed with its power and efficiency. The fact of the matter is that I rate much more highly the brand of football played on the Pacific coast during the years I was connected there than I did be fore coming east. Washington teams of 19U9. 1911 and 1914. I believe, were fully as good. If not better, than any thing in the taw this yenr." Just how bad Dobie's eleven smothered t' e army In the last battle is furnished by figures furnished by the coach. In discussing- the army navy clash Dobie writes: ' Army Tram Heavier. "The .-rfiny and navy game i. really a great event. There is a tremendous amount of interest taken in ther con test and it surpassed very much any thing of the kind 1 have ever come in contact with. The team was some ten pounds lighter per man. considerably younger and possessed of less ex perience than the army.

Jack Johnson, ortre heavyweight boxing champion of the world, has icquired a certain social status in Mexico. C. L Gardner of Hot Springs. Ark., today told the senate sub-committee investi gating the Mexican situation. John son did it with the assistaroe of a group of armed Carranza army offi cers, the witness explained.

The American waitress informed Johnson it was against the orders of the place to serve negroes. Johnson left with the threat to "make trouble." He returned, accom panied by white Mexican women and army officers. The officers com pelled the attendant to fill Johnson's order. One of the owners of the store was called to the table by the offi cers. Gardner said, and with pistols displayed, made him shake hands with Johnson and embrace him. Johnson is a real estate agent. One of his advertisements addressed to "colored people." advises them to own a home In Mexico, "where one man is as good as another and it is not your color that counts." game. All things seemed to favor an army victory and they were accord ingly picked to win. "Forward passing and open play was out of the question, owing to weather conditions. Nevertheless, the navy team carried the ball some 300 yards right through their line and oti the tackles, while they failed to reigs ter a single first down." Old Washington fans will notice that It was the tall Scot's same old off-tackle play that beat the middies, the same play that beat Oregon. Pull man. O. A.
