DETROIT TIGERS RIDE ELEPHANTS DURING SOUTHERN TRAINING FOR THE "BIG HUNT."
HEAVY SEASON FOR TEAM
Eugene Campus to Be Scene for
Xick Williams' Workout With ..
Varsity Players. ,
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON". Eugene,
Ilarch 20. (Special.) For the sec
-vi time since the opening of spring
practice old Sol was kind enough to
shine on the Cemetery Ridge baseball
lot and last night saw the Oregon
varsity baseball squad working out
on the diamond. Continued rains for
the past two weeks have made it
necessary for the members of the
squad to work out in the outdoor
gymnasium which has not permitted
any extensive work.
With the first conference games
only a month away practice is going
to bo real work from now on, ac
cording to plana of Coach "Shy"
Huntington. "Xick" Williams' Moose
Jaw team of the Western Canadian
league are due on the campus the
week of April 8 to 16 and the varsity
expects to get In some real pre-con-fcrence
workouts against the pro
fessionals. Coach Huntington will be
able to get a good line on the caliber
of his team when they work against
the leaguers and will also be able to
try out his corps of pitchers against
real sluggers.
Tram Prospects Kxcellent.
Coach Huntington is optimistic
about the turnout this season and be
lieves that the Oregon varsity this
year will be one which will come up
to those of pre-war days. With the
help of a little dry weather he says
the nine should be in excellent con
dition for the opening of the season.
"We will be right up among the best
of them." he says, "ard, although the
other conference teams are going to
be strong. 1 believe we will give them
a hard tussle."
About ISO men have been turning
out nightly for practice and with the
better weather which will enable
them to use the outdoor diamond the
turnout will probably be increased
The Oregon te

of its late start, the inclement weath

Heavy Schedule flapped.
The tentative schedule, as arranged
by Coach Huntington, calls for eight
games to be played in Eugene and
ten on other campuses, a total of 18
conference games, which is the heav
iest schedule the varsity has had for
several seasons.
A northern trip will be taken by
the varsity In which eight games will
be played. The iirst conference
games are scheduled for April 23 and

GIST COACH POSSIBLE
OLYMPIC STAFF IS LIKELY TO

Students Favor Men Who Have
Record of Producing Best of
American Talent.
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., March 20.
While the coach for the American
Olympic team Is not yet selected, it
is a certainty that one of the staff
will be a Pacific coast man. Right
around the bay we have three men
who could tackle the job and proouce
the results. That a small staff of
coaches will accompany the American
team is final, as one lone coach coma
not look after some 130 trained-to-
the-minute athletes. That would be
too bitr a iob for any man. Over at
Berkeley the students' association is
strong for Walter Christie, the oiue
and gold track and field coach. Chris
tie has had charge of California's ath
Ip1k for the nast 15 years, and his
record speaks for itself. Although
California has lost the annual dual
meet with Stanford for the past few
years, Christie has not had a wealth
of material to work on. but in spite of
that he has developed some real stars,
including the present wonder, Johnny
Merchant, Jackson the juniper, and all
the varsity stars of the old days

YEAR PROMISES BETTER
MONEY THAN" PAST SEASON.
More Prizes and Lower Entrance
Fees Contemplated by Many
Associations.
KEW YORK. March 20. Light
harness racing never presented a bet
ter winter form than at present. All
of the racing and fair associations
from the Canadian line to the Gulf of
Alexico are planning to increase their
premiums, while many of them will
reduce their entrance fees. At the
annual meetings of the circuits and
fair associations in the different
states, the delegates reported that the
race meetings in 1919, except at points
where they were rained out In Sep
tember, were the most successful ever
held, not only in the matter of at
tendance but also financially.
In the grand circuit, the entrance
to the early closing events has been
cut to 3 per cent, while the amount
charged in the late closers is optional
with the members. In the west, many
of the mile and half-mile track asso
ciations have adopted the added
money plan, that is given a specified
amount for each purse with the
entrance fees added. This plan Is also
being adopted in the south, one of the
latest recruits being the Georgia fair
circuit which will open at La Grange
in October and close with the Florida
state fair in Jacksonville, after giving
meetings at Griffen, Macon, Eastman,
Albany and Savannah.
To all appearances 1920 will be the
banner year for light harness racing.
The war cloud has disappeared and
while the Kentucky and Maryland
lawmakers act as though they were
determined to tax racing off the
map. In all other states the followers
of the horses are free to go and come
at will.
HARVARD STARS GRADUATE
Eddie Casey, Murray, Horween

Chess requires ich concentration of
the mind for its highest success that the
habit of success in it certainly belongs to
the unusual. In its favor it may be
said that it educates the mind into habits
of regular and connected thought from

ATHLETIC ACTIVITY IMS
CALIFORNIA TO MEET IIXI
AOIS EXT MONTH.
College Sprinters From the East
Coming to Coast to Get Revenge
for defeat in 1915.
UNIVERSITY O F CALIFORNIA,
Berkeley, Cal., March 20. Athletic
activity is humming- at University of
California under the stimulus of the
agreed dual track meet to take place
next month against Illinois. It will
be California's second clash against
the college sprinters from the east,
the U. C. team having won in 1915
by a 71 to 51 score.
The number of men who will make
the trip has not as yet been decided
but it is probable that at least 20
men will compose the Illinois teams,
as financial arrangements have been
made for that number. In any event,
California will enter only the same
number of men as on the opposing
squad and Illinois will only be at a
disadvantage in having made a long
trip with a consequent loss of con
dition.
Illinois has always been one of the
strongest representatives In track in
the Big Ten conference and upon
several occasions has won the cham
pionship. They are especially strong
in the track events, but are hand!
capped by a weakness in the weight
events which characterizes most east
ern teams. They are well fortified in
the 880 with Phil Spink, Illinois'
greatest half-miler, running in old
time form.

HARVARD HAS SEW SYSTEM
Crimson Leaders Seek to Build Up
Various Teams.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.
With two systems in
March 20.
sports giving
Harvard pre-eminence in these lines,
the university athletic authorities are
now engaged in building up similar
codes in other sports which they nope
will brine the Crimson success and
furnish schoolboy teams, even col
leges, a system of play that can be
followed out with good results.
The Haughton system of football is
widely known. It started from noth
Ing but the brainy, far-seeing person
of Percy Haughton, who did not even
have the material to help him out
at the onset. The system prospered
with age, and with it advanced Har
vard's standing in the football world.
The Wlnsor system of hockey has
proved even more impressive than the
achievements wrought by Haughton
ized foo'tball. Alfred Winsor has done
fully as much for Harvard hockey,
and his record of victories over Yale
is even greater than those registered
by Haughton In football. Yale has
won only two or three hockey series
with Harvard in from 12 to 15 years.
Well wishers of the Harvard crew
have been working ever since last fall
on a standardized Harvard stroke
which Coach William Haines is now
teaching the Crimson crews, and
which aims to make them travel at
least from three to five seconds faster
in a mile. So well has this new style
of handling the oar worked that when
the crew rows daily on Lynn harbor a
stroke of 30 to the minute is expected,
whereas last year's early practice was
rowed much below that ratio.
Jack Slattery, the baseball coach, is
now pounding system Into the men
under his wing. He is evolving a
plan of campaign which is expected
to bring Harvard stronger than ever
to the fore in baseball.
Coach Pooch Donovan has been In
charge of track athletics at Harvard
for some years and has proved him
self a good coach, but in the mean
time, while Donovan has been de
veloping winning runners, there has
been no field event coach for any
consecutive number of years with him
on Soldiers field.
Each of these Harvard systems is
to have its head, the Becond and
freshman teams being coached by
men the head coach selects. These
methods have brought success in
football and hockey and are expected
to make their power felt in the other
activities.

John McGraw. manager of the
Giants, declares that so far he
has been unsuccessful in his attempt
to swing a big deal wnicn wouia
have strengthened the Inner defense
of his team for the coming baseball
season.
His offer of $70,000 in cash and
players for Rogers Hornsby has been
refused by the St. Louis club, and
the possibility of the slugging infield
er becoming a member of the Gianta
this season, even if McGraw should
raise the ante, is very remote, from
the way McGraw talked, the owners
of the Cardinals have no desire to
dispose of their wonderful Rogers.
"Not so long ago, said McGraw,
'the St. Louis club couldn't refuse an
offer for a single player which in
volved so much money. But this year
the various owners of the National
league are looking forward to a good
season and are anxious to build up
the weak spots of their teams. They
are reluctant when It comes to Belling
their best players."
"How about Milton Stock coming to
the Giants?" McGraw was asked.
"The St. Louis club offered Stock
to the Giants in a trade which would
have been foolish for me to consider,"
replied McGraw. "I made a counter
proposition, which was refused by
Branch Rickey," and thus another
deal which has been talked about for
many weeks falls by the wayside.
Next McGraw was quizzed about the
deal concerning Kddie Roush and Pep
Young, which, by the way, was de
clined by Garry Herrmann, president
of the Cincinnati club.
"Mr. Wodrig, treasurer of the Cin
cinnati team, came to me in Havana
and offered to trade Roush for
Young," said McGraw. "To this offer
I replied that I would trade Young
to the Cincinnati team provided that
in return I received Roush and Larry
Kopf. As you know, the deal was
called off by Herrmann."
Later McGraw was asked about
"Rabbit" Maranville. Stories have
been printed that the midget short
stop was coming to the New York
club.
"Yes, the New York club made an
offer for Maranville, and a good one.
too," replied McGraw. "This, like ttie
others, failed to meet with success.'
So you see that John Joseph is
having his own troubles in his en
deavor to add strength to his team
for the coming baseball campaign,
and it is almost certain that he will
start the season without putting over
a single big deal. He admitted In
the course of the interview that he
was scouting for a new and capable
second baseman, as Doyle is gettlnir
along in years, and, while Larry can
still slug the ball, he has seen his best
days as a fielder.

With Arie, Henderson and White
He Ranks as Best in Country
on Clay Targets.
BY PETER P. CARNEY.
The United States will be represent
ed in the 1920 Olympic games by the
greatest exponents of shooting in all
the world.
The Olympic' games will be held In
Belgium, the majority of the events
taking place In the Antwerp Btadium,
now nearing completion. The Bhoot-
ing will take pluce on the grounds
especially laid out for this form of
entertainment at Beverloo. 30 miles
east of Antwerp.
This is getting the shooting events
quite a distance away front "the big
show," but the marksmen who will
represent the United States are con
fident that the news of their victory
will travel the 30 miles in very fast
time.
Just who will represent the United
States on the trapshooting. rifle and
pistol teams during the period of July
2 to July 31 is something that is
yet to be decided; but we have a fair
ly good Idea who four of the repre
sentatives of Uncle Sam will be in the
trapshooting competition.
. Here la "niir Four" I. lot.
These four are: Mark Arie of Cham
pagne, 111.; WooliolK lienuerson or
Lexington, Ky.; Frank M. Troeh of
Vancouver, Wash., and Frank S.
Wright of Buffalo, N. Y.
A number of plans have been ad
vanced for the selection of the va
rious shooting teams, but none have
proven satisfactory.
The original Idea on trapshooting
was to have each contestant in trie
registered trapshooting tournaments
of 1919 pay one-quarter cent a target
but this plan was not pushed and only
1346 was turned over to the Amer
lean Trapshooting association.
As the trapshooting body had In
formed the American Olympic com
ttee that it would take care of the
expenses of tho trspsliooters, the only
tiling for them to do was to go
through with the plan. That the mut
ter might be adjusted satisfactorily
to the amateur trapshooter. a com
mlttee of amateurs was named to sc
iect the team and devlso ways and
means of seeing that the team got to
Belgium. This committee Is made up
of Juy Clark Jr. of Worcester. .Mass.;
E. P. Mathewson of Annoomla, .Mont
and Ralph ll. Spotts o( New Vork
with Mr. Clark as the representative
to the American Olympic committee
1'lnn Wu for Ten Shooters.
The original idea for the sending
a team of trapshooters to Itelglum
was the selection of the ten highest
men in the 1919 averaKes on 211110 or
more targets, hut with the failure of
the voluntary contribution plan this
scheme died too, and the present lilcs
of the committee, as wo understand
it. is to send not more than ten men
who will nay their own expenses and
who will agree to practice the conti
nental style of shooting for some tune
previous to the Olympic matches.
No team of trapshooters from the
United States would be complete
without the four shooters we have
already mentioned. They are the four
best amateur trapshots In the LiUteit
States. Wright is the present ama
teur champion of the United Stat
and Canada and also the international
champion, and the other three are for
mer amateur champions of the United
States. Each of the four shooters Is
the champion of his state. In the 1919
averages Arie led with the remarka
ble average of .9780 on about 2
targets. His average was but one
one hundedth better than Henderson.
Troeh shot nearly three times as
many tarsets as either Arie or Hen
derson and averaged .9762. Wrlnlit
was fifth in the averages with .9725.
There Is no getting away from it but
that this quartet of shooters can de
feat any other four men in the world.

NAVY CHALKS CP VICTORIES
Annapolis Teams Have Made Nota
ble Record in Winter Sports
ANNAPOLIS, March 20. The most
successful season which the midshlD-
men have ever had in winter spbrts
la neartng a close. While the basket
ball team lost three games In De
cember, having a green team with
which to start the season, no other
team has lost a contest to any college
aggregation, and the number of vic
tories in the various branches Is 36
The only contest to be lost during
1920 was the fencing match last Sat
urday against the experienced foils
men of the New Tork Turn Verein,
the midshipmen losing by a narrow
margin.
The teams in wrestling, boxing,
gymnastics, swimming and water polo
nave not lost a contest, and the
swordsmen have won from all their
collegiate opponents. Two sports,
boxing and water polo, were taken un
for the first time in competition with
the other Institutions, and the mid
shipmen finished their season in both
with clean slates. The boxers won
from the University of Pennsylvania
and Pennsylvania State college, while
the poioists defeated City college of
New York and tha University of
Pennsylvania.
The teams defeated by the Naval
academy swimmers included Johns
Hopkins, Princeton, Columbia. City
college of New York, University of
Pittsburg, Massachusetts Tech and
Harvard. Coach Henry Ortland. Jr..
of New York city, has the credit of
producing the first really high grade
earn in. this sport which the mid
shipmen have ever had. Six academy
records were lowered during the sea
son.
The academy wrestling team.
though given the closest kind of a rub
by Pennsylvania State last Saturday,
is still unbeaten, having also taken
Lehigh, University of Pennsylvania,
Columbia and Princeton Into camp.
