There have, however, been cold nights with dew which have made the tire hazard less imminent. "While conditions for hunting re not perfect, and there is still considerable hazard, particularly In Southern and Central Oregon, father than restrain the hunters longer, the executive department and federal forests are resolving the doubt in favor of the hunters.

Mackmen Win Most Pennants PHILADELPHIA - (AP) - The Philadelphia Athletics not only have the best record in the league In winning seven pennants in the American circuit, but also may soon have the second worst rec ord for finishing last. Only the Boston Red Soz will have a more unenviable record for finishing In the cellar, providing they are last this year. Then they would have eight basement cham pionships to the A's seven. A feature of the Athletics cel lar record is that they made it all in a row. from the time Connie Mack broke up his great team af ter the 1914 season, through the "World War period, to and includ ing 1911. Besides the proud performance of seven pennants, the Athletics " also hold the tine record of bar ing finished "second more times than any other club in the league, being the runner up six times. In all the years since 1901 the club has had bnt one manager Cornelius McGIIUcnddy but tw presidents, Benjamin F. Shibe and Thomas B. Shibe, father and sou; and but one business manager, John D. Shibe, another son. The club s record is as follows: Year 1901 1902 1903 1904 '1905 1906 1907 190& 1909 1910 1911 1912 1913 1914 -1915 1916 1917 1918 1919 1920 1921 1922 1923 1924 1925 Rating Won Lost Pet Fourth 74 2 .644 First S3 63 .610 Second 75 60 .556 " Fifth 71 70 .536 First 92 56 .621 Fourth 78 67 .538 Second 88 57 .607 Sixth 68 85 .444 Second 95 58 .621 First 102 48 .680 First 101 50 .669 Third 90 62 .592 First- 96 57 .627 First 99 53 .661 Eighth 43 109 .283 Eighth 36 117 .235 Eighth 55 98 .369 Eighth 52 76 .407 Eighth It 104 .257 Eighth 48 106 .312 Eighth S3 100 .346 Seventh 5 89 .422 Sixth 69 S3 .441 Fifth 71 81 ' .467 Second SS 64 .57 erson's Proclamation Opens Hunting, Season in State Yl kO EUGENE, Ore.. Sept. 20. (AP) Dave Mason, captain and star halfback of the University of Oregon football team will be out of the Pacific game here Saturday and probably will be unable to start in the Stanford contest the following week because of a sprained ankle suffered today in scrimmage. Trainer Hayward said Mason's Injury Is a recurrence of an ailment of a year ago, when he broke the same ankle in scrimmage against the freshmen two days after the confer ence season oftencd against Stanford. Mason was out all last season in baseball as well as football. His showing in the Stanford game was so brilliant, however, that he was selected to captain thin year's eleven at a meeting of letterniem at the close of the lat school year. AVith Mason out of the lineup the chances are that Coach John J. McEwan will start both Robinson and Kitzmiller against the Cards. Loss of the. Oregon captain, however, is considered a serious blow to the locals chances against Stanford. Spec Keene Inaugurates Changes in W. U. Lineup To Bolster Forward Wall Changes in his first string line up which are calculated to strengthen the forward wall, are in contemplation by Coach Spec Keene of the Willamette univer sity football squad, and experi ments to test out the effectiveness of these changes are being made this week, an opportune time be cause no game is scheduled for Saturday. Keith Jones, huge and aggres sive lad who has been .working at fullback, has tentatively been moved to tackle, a position which he played on the Salem high eleven for four years. For the time being, Packard is being re tained at the other tackle. Coach Keene has been some what puzzled as to where he could use Ed Cardinal In order to have him in the lineup and utilize his kicking ability. Thursday he sta tioned the big fellow at end. Car dinal showed a lot of aptitude for the wing duties, and may earn for himself a regular berth there. At the other end the coach tried out Carpenter, who played a bang up game at tackle against Oregon State and has als oworked at full back on defense. Carpenter, if he proves shifty enough for an end position, will add a lot of weight to that department. Rnch and Gottfrield were tne guards on the first string lineup Thursday night. 192C Third 83 67 1927 Second 91 63 1928 Second 9S 55 .553 .591 .641 OK PIG CHASED vrrwv aiot.TS. f AP) Open ing of the football season brings only a slight change in tne occu pation of Bronko Nagurskl, Minn esota's speedy giant he stops chasing pigs and starts chasing the pigskin.

There is no knowing what place the big star will play this fall. Dr. Clarence Spears, Minn esota mentor, holds up his right hand and with great earnestness whispers, "I don'J know." Nagurskl tackled his way to stardom in 1927 and was regard ed as one of the Big Ten's bright est linemen. Then one day Spears put him in the hole left by Herb Joestiag. AM-American fullback. The Bronk. who has remarkable speed, took to offensive charging like a duck to the border lake lands. Now, Spears likes a strong lias and has plenty of fullback applicants. But he likes scores made by backs of the BronVs driving power. And he says he doesn't know. All of which Is giving the Min nesota fan sector a busy time. Read the Classified Ads. With five men unable to en gage in scrimmage practice, four of them being off the field alto gether because of injuries, the coach is deferring the weeding out process which he forecast last week, although it is to some ex tent being accomplished without his suggestion. Several of the more inexperienced candidates have turned in their suits. Those out of play because of Injuries suffered in Saturday's game or in scrimmage practice Wednesday are Benjamin and An derson, ends; Ferguson and Deets, halfbacks, and Gill, guard. John son and Erlckson,, another pair of halfbacks, are slowed up by minor injuries bat are still doing a full share of work each practice period. The next game, It negotiations now under way materialize, will be against the St. Johns Bache lors, a club team from Portland, Saturday of next week on Sweet land field. If this game is not ar ranged, it is possible that the time-worn custom of an alumni game, discontinued with the ad vent of Coach Keene's administra tion, may be revived. rom College days of the man of affairs, every day is q better day with Florsheim Shoes afoot They give loyal ser Most Styles 10 v viabcfriSt FEW HUNTERS TO SEEK DEER Sudden Lifting of Ban Finds Local Sportsmen Un prepared Deer hunters of Salem and t1 clnity were highly pleased Thurs day at the removal of Governor Patterson's ban on their favorite sport, but there was no rush to ward the haunU of the blackUiU such as would have been, noted had the season opened at the time specified in the game laws. Most of the hunters who had planned to leave September 16 made preparations ahead of time and arranged their affairs so that they could be absent from their usual duties; but the removal of the ban came so suddenly that only a few nimrods could leave Thursday. There will be a larger exodus Saturday for short week end trips, but for the majority of hunters who habitaually take to the hills on the opening day, this season is a total loss. Three parties were reported to have departed Thursday after noon. One included Grant Far- ria, John Patterson and Bert Mc Kay; in another were John Orr, Ted Fox and James Imlah; in a third, Arthur Moore, C. E. Moore and John Gibson. Most of the local hunters will probably head toward southern Oregon, to the forests in the vi cinity of Roseburg. L1 OREGON STATE COLLEGE, Corvallis, Sept. 2 6. Pass defense and work with the line has claimed most of Coach Paul J. Schissler's attention in this week's practice. The Orangemen are preparing for the second game of the season, that against the Cali fornia Aggies here Saturday aft ernoon and Oregon State was woe fully weak in these two depart ments of the game despite the fact that the Orangemen won the opener, 37 to 6 from Willamette. While the Orange backtield looms as strong as last year's mi nus Howard Maple; the forward wall needs considerable bolster ing and Coach Schissler has put in hours of his time with his linemen. The great weakness seems to be in the guard position left vacant by the graduation of Vera Ellers and Jules Carlson. The California Aggies put up a great battle last year, losing by a 14 to 0 count to the Orange. Crip Toomey's Mustangs tied St. Igna tius for second place in the Far Western conference which was won by St. Mary's. The Mustangs are virtually the same team as played here last year with Captain Kermit Schmidt, two time skip per, at the helm: Coach Schissler highly commended his work at end in two previous games against the Orange.
