Shown at the ball park, left to rightare President Frank Graham, General Manager Dick Richards, Ziegler, Busi ness Manager Chuck Shulda, Jim Huser, chairman of the committee, and Nat Giustina, member of the executive committee. Design for the remodeling has been prepared by Louis F. Bonson, calling for an increase of 300 seats to the burned-out center section, an additional set of box seats in front of the present boxes, new concession facili ties and rest rooms. All of the old stands, destroyed by fire last summer, have been cleared and construction is scheduled to start Feb. 1. Other improvements will in clude an electric scoreboard and new radio and press facilities. In the meantime Bobby Doerr, member of the executive committee in charge of field improvement and the juvenile coaching program, is planning to start work on the playing field as soon as weather conditions permit.

A short scrimmage ses sion, with accredited officials, will be held, followed by a ques-tion-and-answer period handled by Borcher. ., Best-Ball Tourney In Second Round at ECC Second-round matches in the second annual winter ' best-ball golf tournament are due to be completed by Sunday night, along with first-round matches in the consolation flight. No fa vorites have been established, with the defending championship team, Norm Hampton-George Pratt, not entered. the statistics that season were Bill Elder, freshman and 19; Don Fulgham, freshman and 17; Les Wright, freshman and 19; Marion Huff, the only senior and 22; James Lee, freshman and 18; Floyd Fredrickson, freshman and 17; Chuck Butler, freshman and 19; Dwight Zulauf , freshman and 17, and Spike Corderio, freshman and who eventually became a football backfield star at St. Mary's College. ... Oregon played a back-breaking schedule of 43 games that season (38-13), plus a half-baked preseason jamboree at Astoria. . . . The Webfoots also made an invasion of British Columbia and the Webfoots saw lots of country. . . . Wilkins was one of the nation's leading scorers with 544 points and at Kansas City scored 44 points in two games, one more than Bob Kurland, the AU-American center who led Oklahoma A & M to the National Championship. - . . Oregon gave two tremendous performances at the Kansas City Auditorium, losing 79-76 to Arkansas after being hopelessly outclassed in the first half and then defeating a good Utah quintet 69-66 for the mythical Far West NCAA championship. ... Others who made the trip were Athletic Manager Anse Cornell, Student Manager Nick Weddle, and this, writer. . . . That was a strange sports year and we doubled (or tripled) as Register Guard sports editor, Oregon publicity man and a member of the physical education (ASTP) staff under Dean Leighton. . . . Many of the other squad members who did not make the Kansas City trip will attend the banquet and post-game celebration, plus George Guldager, team physician; George Tharp, McArthur Court custodian, and Art McClarney, Portland U coach and at that time one of the referees at Kansas City. . There have been other title teams at Oregon, but the only other one to play in the NCAA was the 1939 quintet that won the National Championship. MAIL-A-BUCK if Local baseball fans who have been inquiring about season tickets for the Emerald Empire Northwest League Club will soon have the opportunity to make purchases at a price of about S12.50. . . . Surprising how the announcement of the signing of Cliff Dapper as manager has stimulated interest. . . We have also been asked about the personnel signed to date a bunch of guys named "Joe." . . . You fellows must remember that Mickey Mantles and Joe Gordons don't step right out of the sandlots and off the college diamonds to play in the Majors.' . . . The long-range program planned by the local organization calls for extensive juvenile baseball, not entirely Uie use of Bethel Park, but stimulating baseball for the kids throughout the area by a series of clinics headed by Bobby Doerr, former Boston Red Sox secondbaseman. ... Al Lightner, Salem Statesman sports editor, likes the name, Emeralds, but there is a contest now in progress to have fans select a name with the deadline for entries Jan. 15. . . . Light ner, by the way, reports that Mel Krause might like to sign with the local club, having obtained his release in January. . . . Man-, ager Hugh Luby of the Salem Senators would like to have him back, but Salem used him mostly as an outfielder. ... He is the best young thirdbaseman we've ever seen and remember, he can be a "fireman" on the mound, too. ... Hub Kittle, former Klamath Falls manager, will pilot the Yakima Bears in the Northwest League this season, after a term at Tcrre Haute in the Three-I. . . . That means the local man agement will have to add to its equipment cost a spittoon for ' the tobacco-chewing Kittle's dressingroom. ... Leading pitcher in the Mexican PCL is Nick Genesta, the. former Spanish-speaking pitcher for the Eugene Larks who has a 20 record for the Navojoa club. . , . Luke Easter is hitting .365 for third place in the same league, followed by Joe Brovia at .362. . . . Howard Fox has been released from the Caracas club of the Venezuela League because of arm trouble. ... He is . still on the Baltimore roster MAIL-A-BUCK A- Don't blame Len Casanova for the questionable West substituting in the Shrine game. He was on the phones in the press box. . . . But as Prescott Sullivan of the San Francisco Examiner said, "The West Shrine coaches ought to be thankful that they didn't have Tony Morabito to deal with. The owner of the 49ers would fire 'em in a minute for what they did. New Year's Day." Cas, by the way, was introduced at the pre-gamc luncheon as the man who had booted the longest punt in. the East-West series. . , . Cas never played in the game, but he does hold the record for the longest kick in Kezar Stadium. In 1924 against St. Mary's, standing three yards behind his goal line, he kicked to the Gaels' one-yard line. . .'. , Duke Washington, WSC fullback, is the first Negro in Cougar history to be named honorary captain. . . . Bob Garrison, the great Idaho guard who transferred to Misissippi Southern, was reported ineligible but is back in school. . . . Bob had attended several schools. . . . The report also says that Chuck Finley called Jack Friel of WSC and asked if he would be interested in a 6-9 post man. Jack asked what was wrong with the boy and Finley replied that colored boys do not compete in Mississippi Southern. ... Chet Noc scored nine points for the Ada (Tex.) Oilers in a 96-85 win over Buchan Bakers of Seattle in a recent game in Houston. Ed Tucker, the ex-Stanford ace, scored 45, Ed Halberg 10 and Ken Wegner two for the losers. ... 'Hal Dunham (Oregon) was quarterback and Wayne Johnson (Oregon), and John Thomas (OSC) were ends for the Air Force All-Stars who beat the Marine All-Stars 21-14 in a New Year's Day football game in Tokyo. -MAIL-A-BUCK k Forty-five anonymous bucks and two from Howard Stenshoel brings to S159.52 the total in the Mail a Buck Fund to date. . . . The kids who have been crippled by the dreaded polio and those who may become victims join us in appreciation of bucks mailed to date. . . . The rest of you fellows are Invited to participate. ...
