Reconstruction of the Oxford
Park baseball field so as to make
- both the 'playing field and the
.spectators stands adequate, and
reorganization of the Portland
City league to Include more Wil
lamette Taller, cities and fewer
. Portland - teams, are two of the
changes In prospect for, the next
baseball season.
. Manager Leo "Friaqo" Edwards
f the Salem Senators, has In mind
the first mentioned improvement;
which If carried to completion will
Involve moving the fence and
grandstand out to the 12th street
line, giving mum needed addition
al room In the ontfield and be
tween the baselines and the
stands; and it will also involve en
largement of the grandstand and
'bleachers. ,
Several times last season . the
seating capacity proved entirely
-inadequate, and with the even bet
ter brand of ball that is to be fur
nished for the fans next year, more
seating space Is decidedly I neces-
. ary.- f, '
The change in league dubs is
an. Idea advanced by Fred Oass,
-president of the league. Visiting
tin Salem the other day, he de
clared that more community rival
ry Is the thing the city league
needs; and to that end, Eugene
and Albany will be invited to af
filiate along with Salem and three
''.Portland teams. . -
A revolution of . this type is
necessary if the league is to live.
it was plainly demonstrated : last
reason when, of eight clubs that
started, only four were intact
'when the season ended, and two
of those had been weakened be-
' canse of lack, of support.
This was largely dbe to the fact
, that six of the original teams were
located in Portland, and that all
of them were seeking to hold the
pace that Salem, one of the new
members, i set in - the class of
players signed up. MontaviUa1
alone was able to keep It up. and
both MontaviUa and Salem failed
to retain and surplus funds at the
nd of the season.
Oass . has decided that two
things are necessary;, one an In
i creased interest through, participa
tion of more rival valley cities.
and the other a salary limit.
"Red" Ruppert, manager of the
Albany -team, while in Salem
. "Ihursday, mentioned that Oass
"had bees, talking to ,. him about
membership In the league, and
lso Indicated that the prospect
pleased him greatly. It was a
- great disappointment to both Sa
ltan and Albany fans last atuton
that the two cities weren't in the
, same league so. that they could
fight it out as usuaL A couple of
games were played, each winning
one of them, but they weren't
league contests.
In discussion the prospects for
next 'year's league, Oass also sug
gested Bend as a member club.
The central Oregon city has been
putting out strong teams for the
last two years, but there, is the
problem of transportation costs.
Albany and Eugene are - closer
enough to Bend to make competi-j
tloa practicable after the Cascade
pass roads open late in the spring,
but ' Salem and Portland teams
would have almost prohibitive
jumps to make.
J,' 'Here in Salem, the ontlook for
next year Is exceedingly bright.
Edwards has under reserve con
tract all of his stars of last year,
; nd It la practically certain that
mil of them will be back, except
Johnny Beck, youthful pitcher
llnd who , has been called into
faster, company. v If be doesn't
make the grade there he will be
back, but the chances are pretty
strong that he will stay In organ
ised balL
The Senators of 1S27 were Just
about as snappy a ball team as any
town could ask for. and the best
thing about it was that they never
stopped fighting In any game. An
other factor in their success was
the remarkable eam spirit that
prevailed all season. There wasn't
a. single case of "peeve?, or "laying
down." .Edwards attributes this
to the fact that s practically all 61
Ills players were recruited, from
collegiate ranks, where the mean-:
ing of team spirit Is thoroughly!
Ingrained.
Indications ' are : that - Edwards!
will have all of bis outfield reg
ulars. Steers, Goleman and Jacob-)
bcrger, back in harness; that Billy
Sullivan, "Bed" Ridings. Faust
ad Gabarlne will cavort on the
Infield and that Barham will be
"among those present" for mound
finty. "
Albany college will be denied
admittance to the northwest con-!
ference when ; representatives -of
that body meet In Portland, De
cember 2. according to Dean
Frank M. Erlckeon, president.
The little Presbyterian college
applied for consideration last year
and was instructed . to schedule
games with the conference col
leges to demonstrate Its ability to
compete on even terms. -
This was done, and while Al
bany produced a fairly good bas
ketball team last season, little was
accomplished in other sports, and
the record at football this fall has
been markedly poor.
Albany college is handicapped
by the fact that it is one mile and
a half from the town, and has! no
gymnasium facilities. Dean Erick
son believes that conference mem
bers will look with disapproval
upon admitting the institution.
Columbia university, of Port
land, is the only other college like
ly to xap at the conference door,
and it will not be opened for that
school - either, according to the
dean.
An effort will be made at the
conference meeting to work out
some means of awarding the title
In a sport where two or more
teams are tied for the honor. Last
year, ' Willamette and , Whitman
were tied for the basketball cham
pionship, and the Missionaries re
fused to play it off.
Interpretation, of some of the
conference rules also will be dis
cussed, particularly regarding elig
ibility of players.
One big Item of business will
be drawing tip "schedules for bas
ketball : and I baseball. Coaches
"Spec" Keene and Leetle Sparks,
of Willamette, will be represented
when this occurs. It is known
that the Willamette - hoop team
must play Whitman twice at Wal
la Walla, and College of Idaho
twice at Caldwell, as both of these
schools traveled to Salem for dou
ble-header basketball games last
year, v The track meet will prob
ably be, held at Walla Walla, and
the tennis tournament at Forest
Grove. :
The withdrawal of the big
schools from the conference to
form one of their own was the best!
thing that ever happened to their
smaller sister schools. Competi-I
tloa has been stimulated and it is
certain that the calibre of the
teams is much higher thaa it was
several years ; ago. Student sup
port also has increased greatly.

Three golfers, two of them profes

Drenched with rain for several
days the course was heavy and.

the three outstanding : : players

golf under most unfavorable con
ditions. Frank Dolp, Portland amateur,

on the , morning round when the
well-trapped first nine took its toll,
of 3 9 strokes, came back on the
second nine with a sparkling ex

a S3 and gave him a par 72.
Mel Smith, Portland pro, landed
In fifth place with a 73. An al
most unplayable. He on the 18th
tost him two strokes in getting
out of a depression in the fairway.
Bobby Crulckshank, a threat
from White Plains," N. Y.; did not
fare so well In the first round to
day. There were 13 players ahead
of him and he was tied, with five
other men for 14 th place with a
score of 78. Crulckshank was un
able to master his putter and took
39 strokes on each nine. '
The White J Plains player was
not alone In his misfortune, how

players who were expected to be
near the top of the list, were well

football coach at the University
of California, today issued the fol
lowing statement on the : eve of
the big game with Stanford at
Palo Alto Saturday. r
"Stanford has an advantage due
to their veteran men in the back
field and line and their veteran
coaching staff, but California,
while younger and : greener . will
fight to the limit. :
"There are only eleven men on
the field at one time and the ones
who fight the hardest during 60
minutes and hare , a few breaks
have the best chance' to win. Price
also announced a tentative start
ing lineup with the : reservation
that he would not actually decide
on the starting lineup until the
very day of the game. The lineup
follows:
J. Dougery,4eft end;. Green, left

Lcenter; Schwartz, right guard;
Captain Coltrin, right v tackle;
Phillips, right end; Evans, quar

Price said that in several posi
tions notably the guards and back

ered "tentative and the condition
of the field and weather would af
fect his final choice.
