Tnls is the time for personal opinions regarding All-American, All-Western, All-China and All-S. 1. of Range 82, Township 3 football elevens, and, as It is a mental impossibility to escape said custom, here goes for the All-Con. ference team of the Pacific North western colleges. The year, 1913, has emphasized that the Northwest has some wonderful backfield material. Hap Miller, of Washington, weighing over 200" pounds and a powerful and strong runner, easily dominates the field. Miller is worthy of mention In any All-Amerlcan symposium. Parsons of Oregon, by virtue or hia sensa tional open field running, both in the Oregon Aggies game and the Washing ton melee, in which latter he scored Oregon's touchdown, gives him second count. He is a better defensive player than Miller and a. remarkable athlete. Lockhart of Idaho, Blackwell of the Oregon Aggies, Jacquot of Washington, Coulter of Washington State and Everett May of tho Oregon Aggies are other classy halfbacks of the season. May would have made the honorary tackle list had he been kept there all Fall, but he did wonderful work for Dr. Stewart when shifted back. Miles Is Whitman' Representative. For fullback most of the critics likely will overlook Niles of Whitman because the Missionaries had such a disastrous year. Niles, however, has so much more native ability than any other fullback in the conference that he would not need to perform up to Tast reputation to merit the crown. His bad game was that against Wash ington at Seattle. Khiel of Washington and Abraham of tho Oregon Aggies rank next best, J-ihiel doing star work in every game for Doble. Cornell of Oregon easily tops the quarterbacks, although the lightest man In the conference. Oil the line Laythe of the Oregon Aggies and Johnson of Idaho are the only new finds of the Fall. taytne iiKeiy win ds ignored oy most of the critics, because he is not a flashy sort of lineman.- but, after offi ciating in three games behind Laythe, the writer Is much impressed with his solidarity and his bulldog method of boating down the opposition. He is a big fellow, weighing over 190 pounds, and, while not shifty enough to tackle, ought to develop Into a wonder at guard in 1914. j Brad mIi aw Brilliant t Times. Johnson is the former Lawrence end who was barred at Idaho last Fall, but was eligible for his fourth campaign this year. Tommy Tyrer, of Wash ington State, is a crack end but Tommy lias been out too much. Captain Brad shaw, of Oregon, battled spectacularly against Washington and would have been a cinch for All-Star honors had he maintained that clip all Fall. Botts of Whitman Is another classy ex tremity gaurdlan. Sutton of Washington is placed at one end of the line again. His choice will be almost unanimous, if for no other reason than his ability to receive the pass. The writer was alone in his choice of Chrisman of the Oregon Aggies for All-Star center last Fall, but that my judgment was good is shown by his work this Fall after being shifted to tackle. Most of the critics will select him on the theoretical team for he had a chance to show at tackle where he was rather buried at center. Canfleld Wins. Praise. While "Slim" Harter. of Washington State, and Presley of Washington are rated a trifle superior to Cauficld of Oregon, this latter is one of the most reliable athletes in the conference. Fenton of Oregon at guard and An ierson of Washington at tackle, com plete the picture. Neither is a flashy player but both fill the bill satisfactori ly. Moore, the giant guard of the Ore gon Aggies, came strong at the finish, starring In the Idaho game particular ly, and Is entitled to commendation. This first team line averages 181 pounds and the backs 170 pounds for a team average of about 177 pounds. With Fenton. Niles and Blackwell to 1o the punting and place and drop kicking, this eleven ought to be able to stop any Mexican revolution that was ever fomented. OLD GAME IS TO BE REVIVED Intercollegiate Football Match to Be Played at Berkeley. UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, Berkeley, Cal., Nov. 28. (Special.) Devotees of the American style of foot ball will have a chance to see the old intercollegiate style of game again, when an all-star team, gathered by Karl Crabbe, of Portland, will meet the Preston State School of Industry here next Saturday. Most of the players are Northern men, for the Australian rugby has gained such a foothold here that the younger generation no longer Knows the rudiments of the old game. The tentative lineup includes Schaf fer, of California, wjho formerly played the old game; Jack Glasscock, of rugby fame; Dan Forster, of Washington xiisu ouiiuui, in x ortiana; xsin Aorams.

Harry Grabiner. secretary of the Chicago club of the American Baseball League, today noti lied "Doc" White, of the White Sox, he had been released to the Venice, CaL. club. White made provisional arrange ments several weeks ago to join the Venice club if he could secure his re lease from the American League. hlte, it is understood, is to pass the 1914 season as a player and assume charge of the club as manager in 1915 Whlto ha played In the American League since 1902, "SMILIXG BILL" JAMES. JAMES OFF TONIGHT "Big Bill" Says Goodbye to Fans Here. ST. LOUIS GETS TWIRLER Though Pitcher Will Pass Remainder or Winter in Los Angeles, He Will l'itch "o Ball Expects to "Make Good" This Time. Bill James, Portland's lanky pitching star, who twirled himself into a Job with the St. Louis Americans for 1914, will pick up his belongings tonight and say goodbye to the Northwest, perhaps forever. "I expect to stop off in Los Angeles for the rest of the Winter," said "Smil ing Bill" yesterday. "But' I will not pitch any before reporting to the, Browns in the Spring. My hands, wmcn were broken in my fistic mlxup with Wolverton, are healing rapidly and 1 think they will be as right as ever by March." "Do you figure on making good this time?" James was asked. I certainly do," replied Bill, draw ing himself up to his six feet, live inches of perpendicularity. "When I was up In the big leagues before, 1 had nothing but a fast ball. In mid-season of 1912 at Toledo I began acquiring my curve and it was my curve as much as my speedball that brought me my success in the Pacific Coast League last sea son. "They say I am too wild, but that is bunk. Of seven Coast pitchers with more than 100 walks chalked against them. Portland had four in 1913, yet didn't Portland win the pennant? That's because we allowed fewer hits ana were there In the pinches." James is personally acquainted with Branch Rickey, the new manager of the St. Louis team. Rickey lived in tne same block with James at Ann Arbor, Mich., for two years and coached the baseball team at the University of Michigan, where James gained his first instruction. National League Heads to Meet. NEW YORK, Nov. 28. President Lynch, of the National League of Pro fessional Baseball t:iuns. sent notices SPORT - NEWS JOE RIVERS decision over ueitu Cross at Los Angeles is another feather in the cap of Joe Levy, Joes little manager, famous not oecause has made Joe a champion, but because he has made him a perpetual fighter. Many managers have won fame by making or unmaking champions. Levy does not come In that class, but is fa mous for the way - r " he pumped oxygen - s Into the lightweight aspirations or Oliv ers. Rivers has been beaten four times, once by a clean knockout, but he continues to be one of the greatest, box office attractions. Twice has he bat tled for the light weight title. His victory over Cross Joe Rivers, practically assures him another chance at the title. Levy, of course, has lightweight championship ambitions, but he con soles himself with the thought that a "card" is often as good as a champion. In the two years that Joe has been "in the limelight he has raked in about $75,000, according to Manager Levy. Also Joe la a wise little boy and saves the greater part of his Income. Joe's big asset is his confidence. The thought that he is invincible, which continues with him and cannot be punched out of him, is the thing which makes him the spasmodic fighter he is. ... Hugo Beadek, Oregon's football coach, harbors an old Chicago super stition against shaving for a couple of days before the big games. Hence Coach Bezdek always appears on the sidelines with a wonderful crop of bristles and alfalfa. Occasionally Joe Bush's name is put down as "Songbird" Joe Bush. Just why the Philadelphia star of the 1913 world's series should be called "song bird" was somewhat of a puzzler. The truth of the matter is that Bush was today to all presidents of the league clubs that the annual meeting of the league would be held in this city on December 9 at 2 P. M. A meeting of the board of directors will be convened at noon on the same day. JAMES' ESCAPE IS NARROW Ex-Seattle Hurler, Jiow With Boston, In Auto Which Overturns. OROVILLE, Cal., Nov. 28. (Special.) Pitcher William James, of tho Boston Nationals, formerly of Seattle, and a party of six friends had a narrow es cape from drowning early today when the automobile in which they were rid ing skidded and overturned in a creek swollen by heavy rains. Tho party was returning from a dance in Gridley and so high was the creek that it completely hid the road. James was at the wheel and when the machine started to skid he was powerless to stop it. It was raining torrents and the women and men in the automobile were held by the top and curtains. They were caught as in a trap in wa ter waist high and had to cut their way out. Two of the party were nearly drowned before they were res cued. SWEENEY'S NAME BROUGHT tP Captain of Boston Braves Possible Successor to Joe Tinker. BOSTON, Nov. 28. The name of Cap tain Bill Sweeney, of the Boston Na tionals, was brought into the field of possible candidates for the position of manager of the Cincinnati team today, in a letter sent to Sweeney from New York by President James J. G ffney, of the local club. Saying that ho took into considera tion the fact that in other years the Cincinnati club had tried to procure Sweeney as manager, Gaffney notified the Boston captain that he had permis sion to negotiate for the position if he desired to. "Were you to succeed it would be a mingled sense of reluctance and pleas ure to me," President Gaffney wrote. Sweeney said tonight he would take tho matter under consideration. AMERICAN RIFLEMEN BEATEN Nice Club in France Bests Yankees by 1S8 Points. NICE, France, Nov. 28. A naval rifle team from the American warships wa beaten by 138 points today in a match against a team from tho Nice Riflo Club. The American riflemen were Ensigns Oscar C. Badger and Johr. M. Kales and Seamen llartung, Bedoski, Sbarpless, Byrnes, Desommers and Drustrup. POT POURRI a movie singer before he entered pro fessional baseball. Carl Zamlock, of Golden Gate, was once a teammate of Bush's. He declares that Bush was one of the greenest boys that, ever got Into tho big leagues, but that he was, nevertheless, one of the most popular. Annually Coach Williams is fired bv the Minnesota bleacher fans and an nually the old "Doc" renews his grip on the Job. y . . . Sam Crawford and Ty Cobb never nave been friends, yet Crawford can didly says that Cobb is the greatest oanpiayer. When the World tourists played in San Francisco some bleacher ran called to Sam, "Who is the great est ballplayer?" Without the slightest hesitation Crawford replied, "Tyrus Cobb." In the olden days fighters used to harden their hands by pickling, but now many of them do not confine the process to their hands. Chick Wright, the (Treat little San Francisco billiard expert, is being groomed for the next 18.2 cue match against .Willie Hoppe.' Hoppe's easy victory over Demarest a fortnight ago, 500 to 294, has disposed of all the avail able Brunswick & Balke talent, so it's up to Wright to get under the steam roller. Wright has played some won- Uderful games and. as he aa been known to average 30 billiards in a 500-point match, he might down Hoppe if he caught him at a psychological time. John Berg Is gumshoeing around In some of the smaller cities of the North west and incidentally picking up some easy change. Some fans look for an other exposure of flim-flamming, sim ilar to the Kelso case, about five or six weeks' hence. . - Chub Cherry, Multnomah Club cen ter, played one of the best games of his career Thursday, according to side line spectators. Cherry was pitted against Caufield, an aggressive and husky, lineman. Non-Collegians Bet 10 to 7 on An napolis, but Those Affiliated . With Either School Wager Even Out of Courtesy. KEW YORK, Nov. 28. With the rival teams and the advance guard of spec tators already here for the Army-Navy football game tomorrow ' the city has taken on the unfamiliar aspect of a col lege town on the eve of a big athletic contest. The transformation began with the arrival of the Naval and ' Military Academy elevens. Every succeeding train brought a fresh quota of bril liantly uniformed and gowned hu manity and tonight even the most blase New Yorker was aware that something unusual was about to happen. The sailors and soldiers have met upon the -gridiron 17 times since 1890, but New York never has been the scene of the game. All that is needed to make the 18th game between the two academy elevens notable is favorable weather. The local weather man's predictions calls for cloudy and unsettled atmospheric con ditions. A thick coating of straw pro tects the gridiron tonight and will not be removed until noon tomorrow. Players In Condition. Both teams visited the . Polo Ground today for final practice in order to become familiar with the light and the field. The workout was secret In both cases. The coaches said all the players were in condition for the hard game expected, but refused to express any opinion on the outcome. Wagering on the result of the game among the non-af filiated followers of football finds the Navy team a 7-to-10 favorite, but in accordance with the custom among the cadets and middies, all bets made directly between the members of the academies are at even money. The usual pool exists this year and before another 24 hours rolls around either the middies or cadets will receive a very considerable addi tion to their Christmas shopping fund. President to See Game, President Wilson, who will witness the game with members of his family and Cabinet, arrived this evening and spent the night at the home or friends. He will return to Washing ton Saturday night. The game will divide his time equally between the Army and Navy sides. It is expected he will witness the first half of the game from box 20, on the Army side of the field, and during the intermis sion will cross to the middies' stand, where boxes 189 and 191 are set aside for his party. In addition to the Chief Executive there ' will be many prominent box holders. A partial list includes the following well - known officers of the Army and Navy corps, ' the general Government service and other persons of prominence: Vice-President Marshall. Secretary of State Bryan, Secretary of War Gar rison, Secretary of the Treasury Mc Adoo, Secretary of Commerce Redfield, Attorney-General McReynolds, Post master - General Burleson, Admiral George Dewey, Major-General Leonard Wood, U.S. A.; Major-General Thomas H. Barry, U. S. A. ; Speaker Clark, of the House of Representatives; several United States Senators, including Miles Poindexter, of Washington; John D. Archbold, General Horace Porter. Dr. John Grler Hibben, president of Prince ton University, and Thomas A. Edison. 45,000 to Attend Contest. The demand for tickets continues to increase, and the New York club man agement, as well as every member of the two academies, is fairly over whelmed with requests for coupons or even admission pasteboards. Every available foot of space that will hold a seat has been utilized by the con struction department, and as a result nearly 45,000 persons will witness the game. Very few tickets have reached the hands of speculators, and these are held at high prices. Twenty and twenty-five dollars each is the rate quoted for coupons of three dollars value, yet the speculators found eager customers at these figures. The probable lineup for the game follows: Army.

Another victory was won by the Cottage Grove High School foot ball squad Thanksgiving day, when the Spartan Club, of Corvallls, went down to defeat, 13 to 0, on a slushy field. The Spartan Club was composed almost entirely of Cottage Grove lads home from BChool for the day. Corvallis started the game by kick ing off and the locals immediately car ried the ball to the visitors 20-yard line, when Earl kicked & field goal. Grove kicked off, then got the ball again -on a fumble and in a few quick plays secured a touchdown and kicked goal. In the third quarter Earl kicked the second field goal of the game. TINKER AND EVERS CONFER Deposed Red Manager Says He Would Like to Play With Cubs. CHICAGO, Nov. 28 Joe Tinker, de posed manager of the Cincinnati team, called today on Manager Evers, of the Chicago Nationals and, after a confer ence, said he knew of no place he would rather play than In Chicago No terms were discussed by the men and until President Murphy, of the Chicago club, returns from Europe no negotiations between the local organi sation and the Cincinnati club regard ing the transfer of Tinker can be made.

DEL HOWARD BECKONED SEAL'S MANAGER NEEDED TO take: hand i?r overall deal. Case Now Strictly up to Star Pitcher and Team Leader Other Business at Home Also Calling. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 28. (Spe cial.)

After the preliminaries have been fought out with much conversational fighting. Manager Del will come on for the main event and endeavor to sign up the star pitcher. J Manager Howard will likely travel by way of Los Angeles, so that he can stop over a couple of days and talk matters over with Overall. It Is strictly between the two, for Ewing is the latest to declare himself out of the controversy. It was Del who signed Orvie from the Cubs and now it is up to him to Induce Orvie again to mount tne mound. There may be other business for the Seals' skipper to handle. The Artie Hoffman deal, which was hanging fire, may have reached a head. According to an Eastern dispatch, the former Cub outfielder has purchased his re lease from the Nashville club of the Southern League, and is a free agent to go wnere and when he nleasea. Un der the circumstances Del is likely to nooK tne piayer. .Howard was also after a couple of right-handed pitch ers. He was successful in getting In fielder O'Leary, but his Blate calls for two pitchers and another outfielder. Del will divide the rest of the Win ter between San Francisco and Paso Robles, where he has a big ranch. SPOKANE CROWD SETS MARK Attendance at High School Gridiron Battle Largest in Northwest. SPOKANE, Wash.. Nov. 28. (Sneciull J. N. Davis, faculty director of football nnances at Aorth Central High School, accounted for 6301 admissions to the annual Lewis and Clark-North Central rootoaii game here yesterday, won by the former, 3-0. The eash value of the ticket sales was S2810 and each school earns J1318 on the division of net profits. This Is claimed to be a Northwest record for the 1918 football season, in cluding all the big university confer ence games. It is known to have ex ceeded Portland's turnout for the Washington-Oregon game November 15. It is believed that the attendance showing for the high school game will Insure Spokane one or more conference college games hereafter. The Recrea tion Park field, where the game was played, was taxed to its capacity to accommodate the greatest crowd that ever saw an athletic event In Spokane. AVIATOR WILD WATCH GAME Army Air Craft to Hover Over Grid iron Battle Today. NEW YORK, Nov. 28.

RECEIPTS CUT BY STORM Success of Numbering Players De clared Proved by Thursday's Game Good Match With Idaho Is Prediction. That the Multnomah Athletic Club football eleven, which walloped Ore gon 19-0, Is the strongest that has ever represented the Winged M, Is the be lief of a great many critics who have been following local gridiron affairs for years. C. N. MeArthur. a recognized au thority. Inclines to this view. Dow Walker, superintendent at the club, be lieves the 1913 team to be the best In several years, and most of the players themselves say the team is stronger than within the past four or five cam paigns at least. It was thought that the dropping out of the star backfield men Clarke, Wolff. Hurlburt and Rinehart would shatter the 1913 squad, but the shift of Convill to full and the addition of Rodes, of Annapolis, at quarter and Francis, of Willamette, at half, with Keck for the other half, seems to have solved the problem. "I don't think there is any question about our being superior," remarked Clyde Rupert, the 200-pound star who opposed Fenton on Turkey day. "Clarke always impressed me as a wonder, but aside from him these new backfield athletes are an Improvement." "Patsy" O'Rourke, veteran tackle, who bowed his farewell Thursday, says this team, as it played against Oregon, could have licked almost any eleven in the country. The blustery weather of Thanksgiv ing day cost the Multnomah Club and the state varsity about $2000. Usually the receipts from this annual gridiron battle run between J4000 and $6000, but a count of the available cash Thursday night showed only $2990 in the exchequer. Those who-have been boosting tho cumbering of football players can find a little enjoyment in the thought that the system proved a big success In the Multnomah-Oregon game, although in troduced under the most adverse con ditions. The numerals on the players' backs were plainly visible from all points of the field, and while the rain obliter ated some of the Bertlllonlzing. the fans had spotted their men by that time and knew them on sight. This was the first trial of the num bering system In the Northwest and its success is gratifying. Inthe East and Middle . West the honor roll in cludes: Chicago, Indiana, Northwest ern, Princeton and Dartmouth. Next year it is believed that a large number of colleges will adopt the plan, as it cannot fall to strengthen the hold of the great gridiron sport. Dr. E. J. Stewart picks Ira Blackwell, his Aberdeen backfield phenom as the best punter in the Northwestern foot ball conference.
