8 TTTE MOTKHyg CTREGONIAy, MONDAY, JANUARY 3, 1010. KEDlERICi GAME PREFEBHED President Campbell of Uni versity of Oregon Not a Rugby Advocate. HAYWARD DOESN'T COUNT College Head Says Trainer Is Merely Investigator or Varieties of Football Recommendations Will Xot Be Final. UNIVERSITY OF" OREGON, Eugene, Or.. Jan. 2. (Special.) "If reasonable changes are made in the present foot l.all rules by the rules committee at Its cnmmg meeting-. In all probability the University of Oregon will continue to play the American college foot ha'l." said President P. L. Campbell, when asked tonight what effect Trainer Bill Hayward's declaration at Vancou ver, B. C. that Rugby should be sub stituted, would have on athletics here. "The object in sending Hayward to British Columbia to see the Rugby games played there was merely for the purpose of giving the British game a fair Investigation. The Athletic Coun cil and faculty at Oregon have never, by resolution or otherwise, expressed Inemselves as desiring to substitute Rugby here for the American game. However, we knew nothing at all about Rugby. In fact, none of us has ever seen a Rugby game played, and it was decided In simple fairness to send Hayward to make a full investi gation of its merits or demerits, and its relative safety for the players as compared with college football. Hay ward was the best man we could pos sibly have sent, for he has had wide experience as a trainer in both games and is better able to judge the chances of injury in each than any man in Ore gon. Hayward Only Investigator. "My own personal attitude in the mat ter is simply to make a fair investigation of Rugby so that we can know some thing about the game. I have always been very friendly to football and do not know of a single serious injury that has resulted from playing it at Oregon. If it is true as reported that Mr. Hay ward has declared himself in favor of Rugby this would mean nothing definite so far as determining any immediate action by the university faculty. Our action in sending him to British Colum bia was only significant in showing our desire to learn something about the English game. "I have no doubt that the football rules committee will make changes) in the rules that will be entirely satisfactory hut we are waiting for their action be fore deciding the status of football here next year. However, the Oregon faculty is not unfriendly to football and the present Athletic Council is quite favor able to it. In case the new rules should not be satisfactory it would then be time enough to talk about substituting the Rugby game. This would involve the necessity of action by our faculty, the athletic council, and the calling of a meeting of the other Northwest con ference colleges to discuss the case." Students Oppose Rugby. Among students at the university, sen timent is almost unanimous against Rugby football. If it should come to a question of abolishing the game alto gether, or taking up the English sport it is not at all unlikely that the first action would be the moat popular. Members of the athletic council ccmposed of faculty and students, who comprise the athletic govering board are understood to feel much the same about it. At present -a committee Is taking steps to secure a football coach for next season. Howard Jones, Yale head coach this season, is the man wanted.

EDER GOES EAST TRAINER ENGAGED BY CLEVE LAND AMERICAN BALL CLCB. Multnomah Club Members Sorry to Lose Rim, but Glad Life Am bition Is Gratified. Frank M. Schmieder, trainer of tlie ath letes of the Multnomah Amateur Ath letic Club for the past two years, has been chosen to act in a similar capaci ty for the Cleveland American League Baseball Club the coming season, and the announcement received the other day from Manager McGuire satisfies Schmieder's ambition. The Multnomah Club trainer has long entertained the ambition to be selected' as trainer for a major league baseball club, and last Summer, when "Deacon Jim" McGuire, then a scout, came through Portland, Schmieder was in troduced to him by Walter McCredie who recommended him hierhlv to th Cleveland man. McGuire at that time i promised to place the Portland man's j name before the Cleveland team, and ! since that time he has succeeded Na- i poieon lajoie as manager and was bet ter able to help Schmieder's cause than ever. The information of Schmieder's ap pointment was conveyed in letters to both the Multnomah trainer and Wal ter McCredie, and the new caretaker of the Cleveland players is to assume his duties when the "Blues" start on their training trip about the middle or latter part of February. Schmie der will remain at the Multnomah Club until the directors can select a man to relieve him. when he will go East to report to McGuire. The members of the Multnomah Club,-although they re gret the loss of so competent a trainer, congratulate Schmieder on his appoint ment.

M'CREDIE SEEKS LIZIE Where Big Pitcher Is Wintering Is Mystery Ivor Olson Is Only Baiter Contracts Ready February 1. BY W. J. PETUA1N. Gus Fisher, Charlie Kartman, .George Ort, Tom Seaton, Frank Turk, Al Lo dell and Pearl Casey are the only mem bers of the Portland 1910 baseball squad so' far to annex their signatures to contracts or accept terms for the com ing season. However, Manager Mc Credie is not worrying to any extent about the others, as many of them are in Portland and h'e can come to terms with them at almost any time. Aside from Steen, the homes of the new men secured by McCredie are not known, and he has commenced cor respondence with the clubs for which they played last year in an effort to get their addresses in time to forward 1910 contracts before February 1. Pitcher Lizie Wanted. ' Manager McCredie is especially anx ious to get into communication . with Pitcher Lizie, the big fellow drafted from the Lethbridge, Alberta, team. He has heard of this player's ability, and all predict a great future for the youngster. Lizie is said to be a native of Southeastern Oregon, or Northwest ern Nevada. McCredie is anxious to learn where he is spending the Win ter. Steen has been heard from, and, ac cording to McCredie, he will come to terms with Portland quite easily.' He is the big pitcher Portland drafted from the Central League and who was rec ommended to McCredie by "Deacon Jim" McGuire, now the manager of the Cleveland American League team, who thinks him a "comer." Buddy Ryan, Howard Guyn, Jesse Garrett and Charlie Armbruster, who are Wintering in Portland, will be sub mitted contracts in the near future, but at present Manager McCredie wishes to get the out-of-town members of the team lined up, for it is harder work to get players in line by correspondence than it is when a manager can talk to them personally. . Tommy Murray and George Ort have written McCredie expressing their willingness to return here once more, and Ort has accepted terms. He an nounces that he will leave Detroit for Portland in two weeks. When he ar rives here he will sign his contract. Olson Is Balky. Only one player so far has com menced balky tactics. He is Ivor Olson, the crack shortstop of the Portland team last year. He is reserved by Port land, but wants an Increase in salary as well as half the purchase price in event he is sold to a big league club. Manager McCredie is not averse to giving Olson a raise, but division of the purchase price will not be listened to by the Portland magnate. Manager McCredie has not given up all hope yet of winning his claim to Jimmy Shinn, whom McCredie would like to place at third base or in the outfield. He will use every endeavor to secure Shinn, and may give Sacra mento one or two players for the clever little infielder, who rightfully belongs to Portland. Charlie Hartman, in a letter convey ing the season's greetings to Manager McCredie, announces that he is ready to commence Spring practice right now. He says his arm has entirely recovered from the strain and is better than ever. KELSON "STANDS PAT" "BATTLER" REFUSES TO GIVE WAY TO WOLGAST'S WISHES. Battle Between Lightweights Seems Yet Afar Off, Though. Cham pion Thinks to Contrary. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2. (Special.) Although everybody else has given up hope of the Nelson-Wolgast fight taking place in the near future, the durable Dane still believes the match will occur and that Wolgast will knuckle down. What is more, the battler is not at all backward about saying so, and when Wolgast, down in Los Angeles, reads what his Hlgwische Majesty has to say, something sizzling will likely "be sent over the telegraph wires. And here is the dispatch that Nelson sent: "Milwaukee, wis., Jan. 1. 1910 Sis Hester,, San Francisco. Stand by orig inal offer to Wolgast. I will whip him into shape. Don't budge. Aus tralian offer is all bosh. BATTLING NELSON." Tom Jones, Wolgast's manager, has left on his way buck to Los Angeles, so it was Impossible to secure any statement from him. Jones is sore at what he terms the domineering atti tude of the champion. V EN ABLE TO WRESTLE GREEK Seattle Man to Appear Here First Time as Professional. L.

GREAT WAREHOUSE SALE AND ADVER TISING TEST COMMENCES THIS MORNING Greatest Distribution of Fine Pianos Ever Witnessed 400 to Be Disposed of at Once We'll Send One to Your Home Free No Cash Payment Required Act Quickly. This Morning Promptly at 8:30 o'CIock Commences at Eilers Piano House the Greatest Offering of Fine Pianoi Ever Witnessed The Reason Is That We Are Facing a Serious Problem. Our immense new wholesale estab lishment and factory at Fifteenth and Pettygrove streets was to have been ready long before now. Incessant rains and unfavorable weather during all No vember held the building back. The boilers and heating plant, which ought to have been here a month ago, are still tied up in the freight congestion caused by the recent railroad strikes. Our building will not be ready for, occu pancy until the middle of February. Pianos intended for December selling and that could have been used to mag nificent advantage then, and delayed on account of railroad strikes, now come rolling -along. The big wholesale stock intended for our new establishment Is here. Our premises, sold by us some time ago, should have been vacated before January 1. We are expected to vacate upon two days' notice. Railroad companies who have been very lenient now insist upon the immediate unload ing of all cars. It is an acute situation, requiring im mediate and drastic action. We must and will find homes for these pianos forthwith. UNPRECEDENTED INDUCEMENTS, No sane man would undertake to sell them within three weeks at regular re tail price. It could not be done. It would be a ridiculous waste of effort and money. j Only the most unprecedented reduc tion in price will dispose of so large a number of pianos quickly. Prices must be made so low and terms of ownership so attractive, that eaclr and every caller finds it to his or her advantage to take a piano immediately. Hence this offer. We are going to make inducements that are simply unprecedented. The making of profit is simply out of the question. We are going to make four hundred loyal and enthusiastic friends, however, and we are going to try to secure some definite and valuable statistics at the same time. A modern piano business must be well advertised. Not only must it offer the best in musical instrument manu facture upon most advantageous terms of purchase, but it must make itself known. A piano, a good piano of Eilers Piano House, lasts a lifetime. A new buyer must be found every hour of the day, and particularly in this growing West is it necessary for a business such as high-class piano selling to keep it self constantly before the public. In disposing of this wholesale stock we see an opportunity to find out definitely as to which method of adver tising is most effective, such as the use of newspaper space, circulars, personal letters or weekly or periodical publica tions. STILE. GREATER INDUCEMENTS. For this reason we publish an adver tising test certificate. It calls for $30.00. It is good for so much actual cash. It will be accepted by us as the LONG MAKES TERMS Offer to Meet Edwards, Made by Oregon Club, Accepted. M'VEIGH IS POSSIBILITY Either Former Champion Amateur Lightweight or Tloscoe Taylor Will Appear With Danny O'Brien This Month. Louie Long, who was figured on as one of the principals in the Oregon Athletic Club's last month's card, has accepted terms with that club and will appear here in an exhibition with Frankle Edwards about January 18. The Oregon club had planned to stage its next boxing show about January 15. but the Multnomah Club's amateur bouts with the Seattle Athletic Club be ing scheduled for January 14, it was deemed wise to defer the programme to the following week. On this occa sion the Oregon club hopes to offer one of the best cards yet staged in Port land, for, in addition to the Long-Edwards bout, Danny O'Brien probably will appear with Pete McVeigh, of Seat tle, and Ned Whitman will meet Bobby Evans in the third exhibition bout. Reputation Is Good. Louie Long is now at Pendleton, but yesterday he telegraphed his terms-to meet Edwards, and the Oregon -club ac cepted them. He will come to Port land in a few days to establish train ing quarters and hopes to become ac quainted with the fight fans and their friends. Long is known as one of the speediest little men in the West, and has a long string of successes in Cali fornia and the Northwest to his credit. It was he who was matched with Pete McVeigh, the former amateur of the Seattle Athletic Club, when the latter decided to turn professional, and after the battle Long is quoted, as praising McVeigh highly. On this account the Oregon club is anxious to secure Mc Veigh to meet Danny O'Brien, who re cently made such a creditable showing before the . Rose City Club when matched with Frankie Edwards. Edwards was brought to Portland last month by the Oregon club to meet Long In an exhibition bout, but Long balked at the terms offered, and the club ignored him and selected Bobby Evans to meet the Californian. Ed wards proved a stronger and more ag gressive boxer than Evans, and ever since that exhibition the Portland fans have been anxious to see him meet an equally clever lad, such as Long will undoubtedly prove to be. Long once met "Fighting Dick" Hyland and lost to him on a foul, which is disputed by Long, who has never been able to se cure a return match with the San Fran cisco lad. Frankie Edwards is another lad whom Hyland "sidestepped." Club Wants McVeigh. Danny O'Brien, the little Portland boy who gained fame as an amateur In the recent city championship held by the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, and who made a tine showing against Edwards last week, will appear in an exhibition with either Pete McVeigh or Roscoe Taylor, another Seattle lad. The Oregon club prefers McVeigh if he can be secured for the date, for the former Seattle Atheltio Club star is first payment for any piano in this sale.

Austin, as boxing instructor of the Seattle Ath letic Club, picked up McVeigh and made him the champion amateur light weight of the Northwest, and has since started the lad on a professional ca reer with the hope of seeing him win the championship of the world. All McVeigh needs is experience, and there are many fans of Portland who think similarly of O'Brien. Eugene Plays Scoreless Game. BROWNSVILLE, Or., Jan. 2. (Spe cial.)

Yesterday the weather was even colder than on Christmas day, when several young men swam the Willamette Riyer, but the two women walked into the icy waters with soncs of iov on their Iins ! nnrl while their fOnrn rt ion nn th fthnro were singing hymns. They walked until the water was up to their waists', ' when both women were completely submerged. As soon as the ceremony was finished the two women were hurried tca houseboat nearby, where a hot fire and dry clothes waited them. A large crowd witnessed the remarkable ceremony. Elder Neal said that the water was cold, but the Lord enabled him and the converts to pass through the ordeal, for ordeal lt seemed to. outsiders, without eerious discomforts. The baptism marked the close of the assembly of the Church of God, which had been in session for the past two weeks- in the mission chapel on Failing street.
