LUCAS PROTESTS BY WIRE k Magnates Do Not Propose to Lose Good Players of Portland Club. Assert That Men Revert When Franchise Lapses. SEATTLE, WaSh., Jan. 5. (Special.) The Northwestern League will block Walter McCredie'a efforts to dispose of his players In the Portland club. Presi dent Lucas telegraphed today to the Na tional board, giving his version of the situation and explaining the sales. The Portlan'd club has several good players, and the Northwestern magnates do not propose thathe shall be permitted to let them go. Lucas expressed surprise when he was told that "Nephew" Walter would try to dispose of these men to any club that would pay his price. McCredie had told Lucas, so Lucas says, that he was will ing to turn the players over to the North western League. Lucas quotes the rul ing of the National board that the play era belong with the -franchise, and that when the franchise reverted to the league tJie players went with it. There promises to be a -lively contest on this point, though it is not believed here that Walter will attempt to evade the baseball law when It confronts him quarely. Lucas left Seattle last night for Van couver, B. C, In company with Bob ' Brown, the retiring Spokane manager, who will take the management and a three-fifths Interest in the Vancouver club.

Louie Long: and Frwikie Edwards, who nre to meet in an exhibition boxing match I before the Oregon Athletic Club on Jan- vary 18 or 19, are expected to arrive in Portland early next week. Edwards will probably arrange for the use of Tommy Tracey's gym. where he worked out for his match with Danny O'Brien, while Xxmg may secure the gymnasium of the Police Department Athletic Club. Danny O'Brien, the young Portland erstwhile amateur. probably . will be matched for an exhibition with "Bud" j Anaersun, iur nuouy cvans will oe un able to appear because of an injury sus tained while skating the other night.

Anderson haa not yet given his consent to appear with his ex-amateur adversary, hut It is believed that he will agree to terms in a day or so. The Oregon Athletic Club is figuring on staging a third bout the same night, and it is quite possible that Ned Whit man, the clever East Side boy, will figure in this bout, though another lad of his weight has not yet been secured to meet him. Several lads are In prospect. The date of the bouts and the entire pro gramme will be announced shortly.

MISQUOTED, HE DECLARES University Faculty Sent Hay ward to Vancouver Jo Investigate -Rugby After Jordan, of Stanford, Had Advised Oregon to Adopt. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene. Or., Jan. 5. (Special) "If It were up to my personal vote to decide between our present college football and the Rugby game, I would east It to abolish football altogether before voting for Rugby." Thus tersely Trainer "Bill" Hayward summed up his ixnpresssions of English Rugby gained after witnessing three games between the University of Califor nia and Vancouver, B. C, teams at Van couver, where he was sent during the Christmas holidays .by President Camp bell and the University of Oregon fac ulty to Investigate the merits of the Eng lish sport that has been suggested as a substitute for the strenuous American game, on. his return here today. Hayward, who Is widely known not only on this Coast, but throughout the country, for his phenomenal success in developing and training college athletes, was sent to Vancouver after President David , Starr Jordan, of Stanford, had written to the Oregon president urging him to follow the lead of the California colleges in substituting Rugby for the American game. Rugby Far More Dangerous. "If for no other reason, I would vote against Rugby for the sake of the safety of the players, for whose physical con dition I would be responsible as trainer," said Hayward further. "After the most careful Investigation I can say that I consider Rugby football far more dan gerous than our own game. The chances of injury are greater and there are too many opportunities for rough and "dirty" playing. If It were adopted generally by the American colleges, the list of serious Injuries would be twice as heavy. The only reason these seem to be fewer injuries under Rugby now is because the number of those who play it in this coun try is so email compared to the many engaged in the American game." Hayward declared flatly that he was misquoted by the Vancouver correspond ents in the story sent out that in re sponding to a toast at a banquet to the football players he said Rugby was a much superior game and that he would rec ommend its adoption at Oregon. "What I really did say," said Hayward., 'aa that I had come to make a com parison between our. game and Rugby, and that if the rules committee did not make satisfactory changes in the rules there was some talk of going to Rugby. I said that I liked the game in spots, and that it had some good features, par ticularly the passing of the ball, which was prettily done, and might be intro duced to advantage in our own game. But I certainly did not say I would rec ommend the adoption of Rugby at Ore gon. Player's Skull Fractured. "With the exception of the clever passing and the accuracy of much of the kicking, Rugby Is inferior to our game In every way. Far from being safer, the likelihood of injury Is much greater and the playing is rougher, the very nature of the game making It so. In the second game, Sawyer, of Vancouver, was kicked in the head and -his skull fractured. He was un conscious from Wednesday afternoon until 10 o'clock next morning, and had to have an operation performed. He was hurt in stopping a "dribbling rush," a play in which ons side was kicking the ball down the field along the ground, the only way to stop which Is to run in front of the men kicking and fall on the ball regardless of the danger of just such an injury from a misdirected boot. In another game, Cerf, the California captain, had his hand brokenin an open-field tackle. Besides these there were minor injur ies in all the . games. "I nave been training football men under our game for 12 years and in that time have looked after the physical, condition of at least 500 players. Not! one of them ever got a fractured skull In fact I cannot recall a single serious injury. "One of the roughest features of the Rugby game is the tacKling. To keep the runner from passing the ball he is tackled high around the head and neck. The tackling a'mpst exactly re sembles the play called "roughing the fullback," which was barred out of American football several years ago because of Its dagger; yet It Is used constantly In Rugby. Another play productive Cf injury is the scrum, which results In worse plle-ups of the players than the old mass game pro duced. The running kick is another dangerous play, This is because the runner almost never kicks until he is about to be tackled and can't make a pass, and then the tackier is so close that he Is likely to get kicked in the face or struck In the head with the ball. Stopping a dribbling rush, -the play in which Sawyer " was hurt, is also very dangerous. Enforce Rules, Hayward's Advice. "If Rugby is ever generally adopted In the United States it will only be a steppingstone back to the old five-yard game, because the more the play is opened up my- experience as a trainer has been "that there will be more In juries. -Ir instead of trying to open up the game by revising the rules the present rules were enforced by good officials who would rigidly cut out the "rough stuff," in two years there would be few injuries under the American game. Football always will be to a certain extent rough, but my observa tion has been that It is of real and great value to young college men, physically and morally." This is not Hayward's first experi ence with Rugby, as he was at the University of California when it was adopted there four years ago. There is hardly a question that the old game will continue to toe played here next year. Hayward's report, however, may have far-reaching effect in Influencing the decision of other Northwest colleges, notably Whitman and Willamette Uni versities, where Rugby has been seri ously considered by the respective faculties.

The total number of cases disposed of by the court on written opinion was 187, leaving 43 more filed than were disposed of during the year. The total number of opinions written during the year amounted to 235, 177 of which were decisions on the merits of the cases and 58 opinions disposing of motions of various kinds. This makes an average of 47 opinions to each" Justice. The West Publishing Company, of St. Paul, a recognized authority in matters pertaining to the legal profession. In a recent article In its publication, rocket, takes the position that most of the de lays in the determination of cases, of which so much complaint has-been heard tn the past year or -two arise from the overworked condition of the courts of last resort rather than from any de linquency of the trial courts. Work in Oregon Increases. Included in the article is a table giving the number of cases In which opinions were written during J908, together with the number of judges, composing the court and the average number of opinions writ ten by each of the judges during the year. It will be seen that the average for Ore gon has increased from 40 in 1908 to 47 in 1909. The table in some respects is not an adequate basis for comparison of the work done in the various states, for the reason that there is much variation in different states in the methods of the courts.
