Oregon Agricultural College, Corval lls. May 2. "The University of Oregon will win the dual track and field rnegt next Friday afternoon, by a comfort able margin," stated Coach E. J. Stewart, of the Oregon Agricultural college this morning. "We have the beat team when In an open meet, but when a dual meet is considered the T'nlverelty of Oregon has It over our boys easily." The Aggies' track and field squad Is training industriously for the big event of the year at Eugene next Fri day. Mont of the men are" In good trim, but Baker and Reynolds are both In a bad way, the former having a 4 weak tendon, and the later being out . of condition and sickly. It Is hoped that both will be over their misfor tunes when the starter's whistle blows, but from Indications they will not be able to show up In the fast company they will be traveling with on that date. Two of the best men In the college re Ineligible, Hobgood, the two mller, one, having participated In eastern ath letics, and the other, Moses, who is a ure firxt place in the hurdles, both high and low. being barred through nrt carrying a sufficient amount of work to allow participation In conference athletics. It is the loss of these men that will give the University of Ore gon the meet, according to the authori ties here, their absence meaning a losa . of at least 15 points. Strong in Sprinting. The Corva!ll8 team' will be especially strong in the sprint. A fast bunch of men has been developed, several of whom can cover the 100 in time border ing on 10 flat. With Captain Baker in the hoHpital corps, there is still I. M. " C. Anderson, who won the CO yard dash In the Columbia meet, to reckon with. The Aggies believe him to be faster than anything the university can produce. If Baker geta Into the running the Beavers will take two places In the dashes. The addition of Cole strengthened the " weights greatly. The husky Kansan can heave the discus 139 feet without the least trouble, which should win In any meet in, the northwest. He also handles the hammer and shot well. Cole has a record hung up In the weights In the Kansas state meets that gives .him considerable prestige here. With Hobgood in race, the Age-lea woul'i ! secure In the distances. Ttie Oklahoma runner Clipped several seconds off of the coast record in the two mile, made by Wooda. and cut Payne; record, made at the University of Oregon last Wednesday, by a con itderable margin. The track fans are much disappointed over the decision that they would not see a race between Payne and Hobgood. As It Is, Lafky and Laird will perform the distances, and are expected to bring places In Ijoth the one and two mile events. Bees Century Already In. "We will win th 100 yard dash." JCroi,aied Dr. Stewart. "If Baker is in trim w ni Kt two places In it. We will take two place in the 22T yard dash, also, provided again that Baker can run without Injury to him self. The 880 yard dash will go to us, Reynolds being a safe bet there. He also will have to get into' condition gain before the meet,' aa his recent ill ness has put him a week to the bad. In the 4 40 yard run we will lose first, but will take the other two places. "The distance? are not eo promising," continues the Aggies' mentor. "We will Just place In both of them, Hobgood being ineligible for participation this, jyear. Lafky la running well, and Dewey la showing up surprisingly well now, and ahould be a good running mate for Iafky. "We will break even In the weights, f We will annex half of the points in the shot, win the discus, and get a place In the Javelin. In the pole vault w will probably get second and third, while one place will Tall to us in the high Jump, either flrat or. sec-, ond. "Moaes losa cuts ua out of 10 points in the hurdles. We will merely place In them now. and a third place in view t that. The broad Jump will be taken by the university, with ua a close . second. " "The pretty race of the day will be the relay race. Both of the teams have men who average up pretty well. , on the whole, and the event should prove the closest of the meet. We have some very good sprinters, and they . will be called upon to do their best to overcome the Eugene men. I would not be surprised if the race would be neck and neck until the last two or three yards. Training Baa Been Careful. "Our team this year haa been de veloped solely through careful, con slstent training. The men have shown very tittle promise in the field or on the track, and many of them have given up several times, only to come , out again and plug away. They have obeyed the strictest Of training regula- . tions, and their work stands as a proof of what Can' be done by men who will train.

Howard is one of the most popular managers in the Pacific Coast league and the success of his club thus far is the cause of general rejoicing among the many friends he has made on thecoast during his two years' 'tenure as leader of the Seals. Howard is a man of. splendid physique and off the ball field has the look and bearing of a well trained military officer. He is strict with his ball players, but is not a disciplinarian by any means, and the men under -lis charge will do anything for him. That is one of the reasons wny his club has been so successful this season. man, or distance man, but. the average man Is the kind that will follow the athletic life, from careful diet to ob servance of form in their practice. All of them realize the necessity of being clean in every way, and all of them are doing the best they can. "I look for one of the best teams the Oregon Agrlcutlural college has ever put out In another year," concluded the Aggies' coach. "We will show up strongly In all of the conference meets this year, and will win In open con tests. The men have placed themselves where they are by their own efforts, and a few more years of the kind of work they have done will give the ag ricultural college a big name In track and field work In the west." f i ' : a SEMI-PR0 BASEBALL Jack Randall Is looking for out of town games for his all-star aggregation of tossera.

Or.. May 2. Two years ago a slim litt'. red-headed freshman, 5 feet 8 Inches, and 130 pounds, went out on Klncald field in running togs. Bill Hay ward grunted and asked, "Sprints?" The boy replied, "No, i distance." Bill watched the boy for: a little, and BUI, said, "Sprints." The boy was Tommy Boylen, a fresh man from Pendleton, Or. He had run cross-country for his high scnool in Denver and, under the colors of Pen dleton high school, hung up records In the trl-state : meets east of the moun tains In the : mile and half mile. His time in the mile was 4:42, establishing a record that was unbroken for three years, and In the half mile, 2:02, rec ord which is still good In that part of the country, i Boylen made good on his "distance' his first year here, winning the coveted track "O" for half mile. He again 41d-l the 880 yard run In. 2:02. Judgment icot Changed. Hayward djd not change his Judg ment. Boylen is a quick, nervous fel- low, and the' Oregon trainer and coach did not fall I to realize that that kind of a man did better In a short hard. terrific- strain than in a one longer drawn out. ; He rah Boylen In the quarter and; on the relay team. The freshman made good. Last year the red-headed lad strained tendon in his leg and, he didn't do much in track. Bill, however, told him to go into one meet and pick up a third In the low hurdles. "We need the points,1; said Hayward. BoyUn ran and came in second, ahovlng the winner hard. It waa his flrat try at the sticks. . This year young Boylen haa been going good.

It is an unusual experience for the Cleveland Naps to have such a hard struggle to get into the running. Usu ally the Naps have been wonders in the early season. Seldom does a pinch hitter get such an ovation as was accorded Mike Don lin at the Giants' opening on the Polo grounds. As a rule the regulars are the only boys who get the glad hand.

Proved It Ho Freak. Last Saturday Oregon's "distance sprinter" proved that his performance at Columbia wasn't freak exhibition, for he won th 100 in 10:1 and the 220 in 22:4. Boylen is a broad Jumper of no mean ability, making over 21 fee in this event. When asked today about Boylen' a slide down the' track ladder from die tance to sprints. Coach Hayward eatd. "It is an unusual thing for a man to run the distances as well aa Boylen did and then make good in the sprints. I saw the first year Tommy sh.owod up for track that his was not the tern perament for a distance man and I have been taking him down gradually. There Is another similar case at Ore gon, Paul Reid. Paul came to Eugene a half and quarter mller. He ran the half in 2:04 and the quarter in 61. Before he finished here he -had done the 220 in 22 4-5 and the 100 In 10:1." Asked If he thought Boylen would make ten flat or under in the 100, or If ha had any chance of winning the century, Hayward continued, "No. I don't believe he'll do any better. In fact, I'll be pleased if he makea 10:1 again and consistently. I have too much respect for Baker of O. A. C. aa a sprinter to tninK xommy can oeat htm.
