THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. RAT.F.M. OREfiON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1929 LACK OF RESERVES IS OREGON'S ONLY HANDICAP COACH M'EWAN HAS CAPABLE FIRST SQUAD BEAT HARRIS IS DESIRE OF SENATOR CLUB High School Football Men Begin Work Monday, JOHNNY BECK TURNS OAKLAND BACK, 10 TO 4 SAINTS BUCKLE DOWN TO FOOTBALL PRACTICE Chances Undetermined PAGE RICHT By Frank G. Gorrle Associated Press Sports Writer Eugene JPi The University of Oregon football team hasn't many weaknesses but the one which stands out most of all is Its lack of reserve strength. John J. McEwan, like all clhri coaches, is endeavoring to build f championship machine and barrine injuries may accomplish the trick this year. Coach McEwan will be able to send an all-experienced eleven on the field of battle but will be hard pressed for capable substitutes in cases of an emergency, especially at the guard and tackle position.. The probable lineup against Pa cific university nest Saturday In Eugene will be Stadelman, cen ter; Lillle and Shields, guards; Col bert and Christensen, tackles; Ar cher and Wood, ends; Kitzmiller. quarterback; Moetler, fullback, and Mason and Donohue, halfbacks. Charles Williams, a negro veteran, may get the call over Donohue if he recovers sufficiently from a ton sil operation. All have had varsity experience except Moetler, who was out of school last year but who is concldered an "ace in the hole" by McEwan. Other than this powerful com blnation, the Oregon coach has little to draw from. Eric Forsta, a freshman last year, could relieve Stadelman but he Is a bit green 8y West and Ted Parke are the cecond string guards but they lack experience. West Is a sophomore and Parke a member of last year's second squad. The tackle reserves are Marlon Hall and Irvin Schulz, Hall is a letter-man and Shculz graduate from the Freshman squad. Jack Erdley, a 180-pound fleet-foot ed youth, is pressing Wood hard for his position and may land before the season Is over. Erdley was a freshman last year and Is develop ing fast. McEwan has a lot of other candidates for the end Job.' but not a lot of class. ' Aituati Frtu Nut Tht "Blue Ghoata" of St. Mary's, Cal, mak a trial gallop with the ball.

EASTERN LEAGUE SHAM BATFTLES By the Associated Press With more than two weeks of sham battles remaining prior to the big fight for the title, the Ath letics and the Cubs are moving to ward the world's series in exactly opposite manners. Working on the theory that the best rest is a hard day's work, Joe McCarthy is keep ing his regulars at their accustomed posts as the hirelings of Cornelius McOillicuddy take their ease upon the bench or even away from the park altogether. It's children's day almost every afternoon at Shibe park now, and from the capers some of the Juve niles are cutting, it might be in ferred that the Mackmen will boast a strong freshman squad in 1930. The Athletics won In ten innings 2 to 1 over the Tigers. Wesley Ferrell checked a late Boston rally In the game at the Fenway and Cleveland won by 4 to 2. A wild throw by Goose Ooslin in the fifth enabled the Browns to shade Washington by 1 to 0, Alvln Crowder winning and Myles Thomas losing. The Pirates stopped the Braves by 10 to 3 at Pittsburgh In the only National league game. Lloyd Waner hit a homer with two on, and Lester Bell retaliated for Boston with the bases en.pty. Accident May Force Jockey Into Idleness Lexington, Ky., tP) Earl Pool, one of the oldest Jock eys In the west, who Is under contract to Auval Baker, suf fered a fracture of the right kneecap while dodging the flying heels of Marone Man or, a two-year-old he was scheduled to ride at the Lex ington track and It was fear ed he would never ride again. Physicians atendlng him say a stiff knee will be Inevitable. Pool rode Current to the two-year-old filly champ ionship of the United States last year, and before that had ridden many champions, Although rain was falling Satur day in the Willamette valley there was no hope for an Immediate re scinding of the governor's order against the opening of the hunting season. F. A. Elliott, state forester, said he had a telephone message from Klamath Falls that there had been no rainfall In that district. -There will be no lifting of the ban on hunting until there Is a general rain," Elliott said, "and there has been no general rain yet." Elliott said that the rescinding proclamation has been prepared by the governor, but will not be made effective until the forester gives the governor the word. BARNARD TALKS FOR ATHLETICS Philadelphia (VP) The Athletics look like a real baseball outfit and the American league Is not wor rying over the probable outcome of the world series argument with the Chicago Cubs, declared E. 8. Bar nard, American league president, who dropped off here to see Bon nie Mack and a couple of ball games. He saw quite a few Mack rookies In action, but said he knew what the regulars could do. "The Athletics made It a run away race," Barnard said. "They have played such great ball we don't see how any other club can defeat them In a series. "We look for the A's to beat the Cubs. Both are great ball clubs, but naturally I am backing my own league representatives. X think Mack has the best team In the business right now, and I be lieve I can safely say It will be the victor In the series." PLANS COMPLETED FOR SHOTGUN MEN Although threatening weather Is expected to put a slight damper on activities, plans were going ahead as per schedule Saturday in anticipa tion of the fifth annual State Fair shoot which will be held Sunday at the Salem Trapshooters' flub grounds. Attractive cash prizes and trophies have been offered for win ners in the various events and trap artists from various parts of the state are expected to take their positions during the day on the fir ing line.

Provding the old gent with the sprinkling can is willing, what Is billed for one of the best baseball games of the season, and probably the last, will be played at Olinger field Sunday afternoon, beginning at 2:30. The principals In that affair, which is In the nature of a fifth effort to beat Pitcher Harris, will be between the Senators and Mount Scott. To date this slim hurler has succeeded in hanging a Jinx on the locals that they seem unable to slip off. But with Ralph Coleman on the mound and fortified with the bate of several good sluggers. Manager Frisco believes this last determined drive will succeed - in turning back the one pitcher who seems to be able to beat the solons no matter with what aggregation ne teams with. A change in the line-up Is In prospect as the result of the In jury to Rentfrow last Sunday when he received a badly sprained ankle while playing against Montavilla. Erlckson. one of the luminaries of the Southwest Washington league. is scheduled for his Initial ap pearance with the Senators. The shortstop berth Is scheduled for this youth who Is touted to be a real slugger.

Eugene grappler, needed only 34 minutes to dispose of Bobby Sam son's own specialty, were used by Pete to such advantage that the southerner was unable to return lor the second f all. Earl Ware took Del Avery to the mat for the only fall of the pre liminary in ten minutes with an arm stretch. Both are Eugene boys. What Salem high school's prospects on the gridiron for the year will be this year will remain somewhat in doubt until after the first week of preliminary practice, Coach Hollis Huntington predicted Saturday. Faced with the handicap of a start two weeks later than the majority of high school teams' of the state, the players will have to buckle down to strenuous work right from the start, if they are to make any kind of an early season snowing, the coach states. Several teams have already played one game and some two, particularly the Portland outfits, while Chemawa. one of Salem's principal rivals for Willamette valley honors has been defeated once and won one contest during the month. The coach, returning to the tame after an absence of several years will find a team considerably weak ened by graduation. Many of last year's star performers have passed on to institutions of higher learn ing. The Incoming material la matter of conjecture. First workout will be held Mon- day, but the chances are that be sides getting the boys equipped lit tle or nothing win be done. Hold overs from last year's team include Bob Kelly, full back, Charles Kelly, quarter, Woolley, mm, Joe King and Elgin, back field, and Wright. Hardman. Adams ana uoiaen in the line. One of the likely candidates com lng up from junior high schools Is young sugal, who played sensation al ball with Parrlsh last year despite the fact he had had no previous experience.

"WHEN DO WE FIGHT", ASKS LOCAL BATTLER "When do we fight?" was the question propounded simultaneously Friday afternoon by Art Akers, lo cal featherweight who won over Ted Fox via the foul route a week or so ago, and by Bob Evans, bis manag er, when the pair drilled into Sa lem looking for someone who would tell them If there was any chance of getting Fox Into the ring in the near future. We want a few days notice the next time Art goes into the ring," Evans continued. If I am to meet Fox again it should be soon, while the interest In the match Is hot," Interposed Akers. "Why wait a month until ev erybody has forgotten about the af fair? The time for the match is right away and I am ready to go, "Why should we have to sit round cooling our heels, waiting the pleasure of Fox. He Isn't too man around here any more. That was decided when I received the decision over him. I am sure I could have beaten him even If he had not foul ed me. Bring on somebody else. If Fox won't fight. I bar none of them as long as they weigh In somewhere near my poundage." As far as could be learned Fri day, Fox and his manager were in eastern Oregon on a hunting trip. Nothing regarding a return engage ment between Fox and Akers can be done until the hunting expedi tion is over. Glasgow has a wave of auto fa talities. By United Press San Francisco's drive for the second half championship was tem porarily halted Friday when the Mission Reds downed the Seals, 3 to 2, in a pitching duel.
