Newspaper Page TextThursday Evening, January 22, 1925 TIIE EUGENE GUARD Page Seven 01 BE Jtichard Shore Smith, prominent Eugene attorney, will today take over tlie duties aa head lootball coach at the university. At a meeting of the executive coun cil last night, the Eugene attorney re ceived the unanimoua approval of the council nienibere. Vernon llotachen Iwcher, president f the ,1'ortland .luumi association, and the pnly mem lier uuahle to attend, telegraphed hin vu:e for Sir. Smith. The new Oregon coach will replace Joe Maddock, heud coach last year, ivIju did not apply for reappointment, us he could not dispose of his business at lduho Falls, in time to come here. Mr. Smith will act only in an ad visory capacity, He will take com plete charge until Virgil Karl, ath letic director, is . ablo to find a voiinger man, who will take over the rejgua for a long term of years. 'Xhe new mentor played five years for Oregon, froin'iSUu to 1U01. In ISU'J and 11)00 he captained the Ore gon team. Luter he went to Columbia university, .New iork, where he play ed three years and captained and coached the team the last two years. In 1UU2 and 1003 he was selected by Walter Camp on hia myithical all American team. Mr. Smith graduated from Colum bia in the spring of 1U04 and return ed to Oregon that full as head foot ball coach. Ho coached here fo ra year. Although not actively connected with coaching since 1004,- he has been a close student of the game, and often had assisted Hugo Dczdek in whipping his teams into shape. Last year, before the Washington and Oregon Aggie games,, Mr. Smith as sisted Mr. iladdock in tutoring the siiuad. . , "We are going to start practice as soon as possible," Mr. Smith said thiB morning when interviewed. "We will practice until June, if necessary, to learn the fundamentals. I would like to see every man in the school who is eligible, turn out. Everybody will have a chance to make the team. If there are players who were on the bench last year, or ployers from the fresh men team who can beat out the let termen, they will win the berth." The new coach was gratjfied at the confidence placed in him by the stu dents, faculty and alumni, when they chose him unanimously. SPORT TALK By BILLY EVANS pLAYING managers will have the edge in the American League next season, five to three. ;This is rather unusual of late jears, for us a rule bench leaders have been greatly in the majority. The drawing powers of a" major league hinge largely around the stars and the managers, particularly if they are colorful. Players like "Wagner and Mathew son have done much to make the Na tional League. Stars like Lajoie, Cobb, Johnson and others have help ed keep the American League in the limelight. Din ginf up stars is largely a mat ter of getting the breaks. The Amer ican League of late years has prob ably been the more fortunate in this respect. Star players do not necessarily make great managers. However, the American League has had more than its share of good luck with outstand ing players as directors of play. Tris Speaker at Cleveland. Ty Cobb at Detroit, George Sisler at tSt. Louis, Stanley Harris at Washington and Eddie Collins at Chicago, com prise the five playing managers in the American League. Tris Speaker set the pace by win ning a pennant and a world series in 1920. He was hardly out of the debut dans when he turned the trick. The success of Speaker inspired Cobb, and his teams, while never hav ing won a pennant, have been con tenders every year. Then followed George Sisler, after a year of retirement due to eye trouble. Sisler, in his first year, showed excellent managerial ability, despite the so-so showing of his club. Perhaps the biggest surprise of nil, however, was the selection of Stan ley Harris to manage the Washington club. "When Clarke Griffith announced Harris as his manager for many of the expcrtH believed he had pulled a real 'bone." Harris, only 27 years of age, a groat second baseman, was to be bur dened with the managerial dutieB. Most of the critics ventured the opinion that the selection of Harris might result in his passing aB a star infielder. It looked like too big a task. No player in the history of the game ever gave the dope a bigger up set. Harris shed the woes of man ager like an old-timer. His winning of a pennant and a world series in hia first year is one of the outstanding features of base ball for all time. Willie Hoppe is Injured in Fall NEW YORK, Jarf. 22.
