men of tho J'.-1 squad, ami one of the
licit team, but who did not play last
year, are eligible.
The punters and center will receive
must of -the attention the first week,
Smilh said. 1 Iu is particularly desir
ous of developing n good hooter, ns
Oregon lost much yardage on the ex
change of punts last year.
The new mentor said ho would
build bis team around the pivot man,
and for that reason will spend a great
deal of time in getting the right one.
He is of the opinion that im team is
faster than its center, and if he can
get one who can think fast, and snap
the ball quickly, it will help to speed
up the squad. '
The lettermen eligible for the squad

The Cleveland baseball team hns
adopted a step in the right direction
relative to the umplrinjr on spring
training (rips.
"lied" Carney, who for years has
been the outstanding umpire among
the Cleveland amateurs, will tour the
south with the Indians.
For a number of years it has been
customary for a major league umpire
to be assigned to each club that de
sired an official.
Such an assignment meant that for
six weeks in tho spring the umpire
would live and travel with the team to
which be was assigned.
In no profession more than in um
piring doea familiarity make for con
tempt. In a great many cases the spring
training assignment has' worked a
Jinrdship on the umpire.
Tlie assignment has nlways carried
with it a guarantee of from $.MMt to
$1000 and all expenses for five or
six weeks work.
However, I have nlways felt that
tho spring training trtps might make
much more than that amount of trou-
I j hie for the umpire after the season
started.
I know of several umnires who
have ),,) Very unpleasant experiences
in the south with major league clubs.
All of them have now put a ban on
spring work.

In a great many iae the spring
series are nothing more or less than i
miniature world series. I
For instance, there is the series to

That series is going to be a real :
battle. The umpire are going to earn .

about Ilenny I always remembered
is that be never started a punch wiht
out an irlea behind it. To me this
always seemed more import an t than
putting power behind a blow. Power
is all right, but thought is better.
A lot of the power punches miss their
mark, the thought punches never
miss."
Doesn't Think Villa is Remarkable
OiMinro docs not share the popular
opinion that ilia is a remarkable
fighter. "I'll agree be is n good
fighter hut be has a serious weakness,
ami no fishier with a weakness de
serves to be culled remarkable.
"Villa has no defense for a left
band. That's why I always beat him.
If Villa were a remarkable fighter be
would have developed a defense

Hut be didn't. I found him just as
easy to hit the second time."
Jenaro used to drive n butcher's
