THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY. DECEMBER 22, 1906. RUGBY TEAM HERE Stanford Players Stop Off in Portland for Practice. GOING TO VANCOUVER,. B. C: Will Play Three Gaines In British Columbia and One In Seattle. Slay Return to American Game Next Season. Standford University's Rugby foot ball team, accompanied by Coach Lan agan, arrived in Portland yesterday morning en route to Vancouver, B. C. In the afternoon the team held a prac tice on Multomah field, a largre dumber of spectators being present. The charg inis university boys in their crimson uniforms presented an imposing spec tacle.' A large number of Multnomah football players were present and Coach Lanagan was kept busy explain Ing- the features of the game. Five Portland boys are on the team, in cluding two of the club's former foot ball stars. They are: Captain E. P. Stott, "William Koerner, captain-elect for next year, A. J. Chalmers, captain of last season's football team, Kenneth Fenton and J. R. Holman. The team left for Seattle last night and will go from there to Vancouver, B. C, by water. Three games 'will be played at Vancouver during the noli days. Christmas day Stanford will jf - 2 t tdf, It " t 4mS Coach T,anncan. meet a team composed of the best players in Western Canada. ' and iJH , play the samo team New Year's day. On the Saturday following Christmas Stanford will meet the Nanaimo team. The Callfornians will play the Victoria team in Seattle January 5. The man ager of the team desired to make ar rangements for a game in Portland, but not enough players who know the game could be found to organize a team. After the Northern trip the team will disband. Earlier in the season Vancouver played two games at Stanford and was defeated in both contests. The fero cious tackling of the varsity boys took all the ginger out of the Canadi ans. Stanford's players had learned to tackle in the old game, and when op portunity offered brought their oppo nent to earth in giod old football style. The important question now Is whether Rugby or revised football will be played next season. Coach lana gan and Captain Stott were very reti cent on this subject. Captain Stott said: "It is impossible to say at this time whether we will play Rugby or revised football next season. It will be left entirely with the players. In the heart of every football player there is a lingering fondness for the old game where nerve, brawn and muscle are required, and where the flgh'.tng qual ities of every player arc brought out." Tho fact that Lanagan went East to witness the big college games and that he has a chart of every one might be taken as evidence that the sentiment is for the American game. The elec tion of Koerner to the captaincy is another Indication that points strongly to intercollegiate football. Fenton. who is one of tho best Rugby players on the coast, but who is too light for the old game, was slated for captain earlier in the season, but the martlo ell upon Koerner, who is a strong footbaM player, either at .football or American Rugby. STANVORD TEAM IX THE NORTH Rugby Game Will Be Flayed at Van couver Christmas Day. STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Cal.. Dec. 39. (Special Correspondence.) Stanford's Rugby 'football team, accompanied by Head Coach James Lanagan, Graduate Manager Sales and four. substitutes, left the campus this afternoon for Vancouver, B. C, where they will play several, games with the best teams that can be mar shalled by the Englishmen to oppose them. For the past three weeks the Car dinal players have been working hard to get into shape to meet the Englishman at his own game, and in his own territory. Although no practice games have been possible, the varsity men. despite the strain . of the final examinations, ha rounded into very good form, and will be able Jo give a good account of them selves in the North. The 19 men that will make the trip hava received the benefit of Lanagan's coach ing -during their post-season training, and it is this fact which has developed a feel ing of confidence on the campus as to the outcome of the Northern games. At the same time it is conceded by the Cardinal supporters that their 15 la going to face much better teams than the Vancouver aggregation, which went down to defeat on Stanford field, and also it is pointed out that the Stanford men are not in the pink of condition that they were at the time of the last intercollegiate game with the University of California. Three games will be played in Canada, all in Vancouver. Christmas day the Stanford team will meet All Vancouver; on the 29tb, Nanaimo, and on New Tear's day All Vancouver again. Tho English men have planned to make the days on which the games are played gala days, and elaborate arrangements have been made by them for yacht races and other water sports on Puget Sound. . The visit ing players will be royally entertained while in Vancouver. ' On their return trip the Stanford men had planned to play a game with Port- gland, but -this arrangement has now fallen through, and it is possible that a contest in Seattle, with the Victoria 15 as oppo nents, may be substituted. Concerning the result of the games to be played in tho North, Coach Lanagan was very con servative. "We are in fair shape, consid ering that we have had no practice games," he said, "but it must be remem bered that we are taking a long trip and that we .are playing muoh better teams than the Vancouver fifteen which visited us during the regular season." With , one exception the team which plays in the North will be he same as that which defeated California this year. Wallace will take Thorpe's position in the forward, but varsity men will jlay all the other positions. The 21 men who will make the trip follow: Coach Lanagan, Manager Sales. E..P. Stott, J. N.

A. defeated Mon mouth Normal School basketball team last night in the T. M. C. A. gym nasium. It "was the second game of the State League schedule to be played In Portland, and was a walk-away for the locals. Twenty-three points were scored in each half, while the best the visitors could do was 12 in the first half and 6 in the second, making the final score T. M. C. A. 48, Monmouth 18. From start to finish the game was a fast exhibition, although the Normals were badly outclassed. While the team work of the visitors was good they seemed unable to throw baskets evert from easy angles, while the locals made some beautiful throws from al most Impossible positions. After the showing made last night, it is evident that the local T. M. C. A. will make a close fight for the cham pionship of the league. Monmouth on its own grounds will perhaps make a better showing when the Return game is played next month. The teams lined up as follows: ' Monmouth, T. M. C. A."

DREARY Fight at Los Angeles a Sad Affair, Xeither Heavyweight Showing Any Cleverness. UOS- ANGELES, Dec. 21. The tight to night between AI Kauffman, of San Fran cisco, and George Gardner, of Lowell. Mas3s which ended in the Hth round with a victory for Kauffman, was a slow and amateurish heavy-weight contest. Neither man showed any cleverness. Kauffman bad Gardner all but out In the second and again in the 11th round, but the tatter's ability to cover up. and hold on saved him from a knockout. Gardner appeared decidedly awkward in the ring, and his blows were alow and without efTect when landed. He (Showed some ability to box and landed numerous blows on Kauffman's ribs, but they were not of sufficient strength to stagger his opponent. In the early rounds he seemed to lack confidence, and though he showed some aggressiveness in the latter rounds, he was very chary of the San Francisco ma n.. Kauffman had a strong punch, but fought with very little vigor, which char acterized his efforts throughout the fight. Kauffman was warned several times during the fight by Beferee Tommy Buma, for unfair fighting. Kauffman's weight was 185 pounds and Gardner's 12 pounds less. The blow which ended the fight was a stiff right to the Jaw, which rendered Gardner helpless and caused his seconds to throw a towel into the ring. Gardner was so weak during the last round that he' fell to the- mat twice from sheer weakness and took the count each time. 5c Each Original Fhotographs -Be. High-art genuine photos.

Wail of Hard Inck Conies From Sound City Football Men Will Xot Turn Out for Work. Hard luck stories continue to come from the camp of the Seattle football team, riayers will not practice, is the wail that is wafted to Portland from the Sound city. It is a hard matter to get any club team to practice, and Multno mah is also having trouble along that line. However. Seattle's tale of woe will not have the desired effect of lull Ing the Multnomah squad into that dreamy listless state, for over 30 men were out for practice last night. For nearly two hours the first and second Z RUGBY FOOTBALL TEAM OF STANFORD. UNIVERSITY X vrV :J ir - ?'sr: f 4 t w'- "T l,7v,tC n ir lw -:-J it , , . v .

Big Henry Mc Kinney has arrived from Eugene and will support Multnomah on Christmas day. Seth Kerron. of University of Ore gon fame, will go to Seattle with the team. Bert Kerrigan, who for years played quarterback on the team and was a star In his position, has donned the mole skin and is showing up in fine form. He will have little trouble In getting Into Ana physical condition. The last practice will be held tomorrow morning, and the team will leave tomor row night for Seattle. It Is reported that Dow Walker, one of the best centers on the Pacific Coast, will join the club team and make the Seattle trip. His presence will greatly strength en the center of the clubmen's line. Carl son will go as substitute center and may be used part of the game. Sterling will go as sub guard or tackle. The loss of Sterling and Carlson will somewhat weaken the ranks of the sec ond team, as both are star performers. Monks. Eastman. 'Wiley, and Schell are all out of the game with Injuries and will not be in the line-up against The Dalles Columblas. The second team will average but 157 pounds, which is about three pounds heavier to the man than their opponents. Even at that, they should be able to defeat the Eastern Oregonlans unless Murray and MoOoy get back in tho game, which at the pres ent time seems very unlikely. Both are suffering from badV bruises and may be out for the remainder of the season. Owens, quarterback on Willamette Uni versity team, will play one of the half positions.
