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.
