 CRIDIR0N PLAY
(By Associated Press)

SAN FRANCISCO, June 20. - Spring football practice, held at all the larger universities and colleges of California, Oregon and Washing ton recently, brought out large num- bers of recruits for berths on the big varsity eleven next fall. Few football letter men turned out as most of them were busy with track and baseball and other spring sports.
 Next season will see new coaches handling two Pacific Coast confer ence teams, Stanford university and the University of Washington At Stanford, Coach Walter Powell has been made general director of ath- letics and at Washington Enoch Bag shaw has been put in charge. Bag shaw, Washington graduate, made a great record coaching the Everett, Wash, high school One non-con- ference school, St. Mary's college, Oakland, Cal, will have a new coach in Edward P. Madigan.
 Only a few weeks of spring prac- tice were held by Coach Andy Smith at the University of California which last year turned out "wonder team" that won the conference title and defeated Ohio State university. Smith loses only two men, Cort Ma jors and "Pesky" Sprott from his 1920 eleven and hopes to have his 1921 team as strong if not stronger than the last team.
 Spring practice at Stanford, which placed second in the 1920 conference race, brought out a great deal of new material, according to Jack Pat rick, 1921 captain. More than 120 men reported daily for instruction and practice. Among them was Mor- ris Kirksey, noted champion sprinter. Stanford next season hopes to have one of the best elevens in several years.
 At the Oregon conference schools large numbers answered the spring call Seven teams were formed from the aspirants at the Oregon Agricul- tural college, necessitating a cut in the squad. The cggies have holes to fill in the backfield and at one end but Coach Rutherford thinks he has the men needed in his spring squad. One new man was Chuck Taylor, 2oO-pound former Washington play CT. At the University of Oregon Coach "Shy" Huntington had his men out for short time. Oregon this year, it is reported, loses Bill Steers, noted halfback who played strong game against Harvard at Pasadena, Cal, in 1920.
 Spring practice was stretched to seven weeks at the University of Washington and during that time every phase of football was taken up by Bagshay. Washington next season will schedule games for four teams, the varsity, the varsity scrubs, the first freshmen and the second freshmen. Center and quar. ter are weak spots to be filled on the Sun Dodgers eleven. At Wash. ington State college, Coach Gus Welch has been drilling about forty men in the fuudanentals of the game for about four months. A great part of the time was given to work on defensive formation.
 Outside the conference, University of Southern California reported about thirtyfive men turning out at the first call, and went through dodg ing, forward passing and falling on the ball. At St. Mary's, Coach Madi gan started his task of forming q team from the seventy-five men re- porting. St. Mary's has a Christmas game scheduled with Notre Dame and Madigan is trying hard to get out a team that will win.
