Stunt SPORTS GET RODS READY FOR SUNDAY' Trout Expected, to Venture Away From Fireside When Dark of Moon Comes Fisherman who took to the woods ami stt reams Sunday, art about equally divided between kit-king themselves for the past and htiKiiiK themselves for tho future. No trout are reported from any of the usual haunts; there isn't a trout-fish in the. whole world, so far as most of last Sunday's fish ermen are able to prove. It wasn't a good day for fish ing; about as good as a blizzard for a picnic, or a desert sand storm for baptizing. But next Sunday promises to make up for it all. It will be the dark of the moon and fish know the moon by heart and ripen in the (lark just like watermelon? and other delectable fruits. It is likely to be a little warmer, so that the trout can discard their overcoats and venture a few feet away from the camp fire and the raade-in-Oregon wool blankets. A host of earnest Izaak Wal ton is ready to gamble on next Sunday being a star fishing day; some are even oiling up the trurk or the trailer to bring home the load rather than see it spoil. S.

CITY SCHOOL HEAD IS NAMED MANAGER F 0. El (JENE. Or., Mih-I". (icortrc Hug, member of the tkiss of '07 and al present superintendent of the Salem pub lic schools was named tonijrht as (he unanimous choice of the athletic and executive councils for graduate manager at the University of Oregon to fill the place which was left open by the resignation of Marion Mc( lain a month ago. Hug's ath letic record shows three years as varsity football star and two years as track man. In his senior year he was president of the student body. Although his acceptance has not yet been received it is understood that he will assume his duties in the fall. In the interim the post will be filled by acting manner Jack Benefiel. Superintendent Hug received a telephone call from Eu gene two days ago asking if he would accept the position of graduate manager of athletics at the University of Oregon.

It is believed here that he had agreeu to take the position be fore the vote on the succeeding graduate manager was taken. TWO OTHERS CLAIM SAME MAP) I - m 'v ! " " 4 A , i k - .
