TITT: MORNING OREGOXIAX, KATmDAT. DECEMBER 6. 1913. BIG GAMES OF 1914 GOMETO PORTLAND Managers of Northwestern College Athletics Discuss Season Dates. DOBIE OPPOSES ROSE CITY Yahington Coach Believed Back of I'lan to Switch Contests to Ills Own l'ield Willamette's Ap plication to Wait Year. BT ROBCOB FAWCTTT. College nuiugtri from all over the Northwest wrangled for a dozen bouri yesterday In Portland over schedules for 1U football, baseball, track, las ketbai;. wrestling and otHor more Im portant features of rah-rah life. 'While the wirepulling was still in progress at a lata hour last night, enough had been done to satisfy Port land lobbyists that this city will figure strongly iu the next season's allot ment. For certain It can be announced that Portland will entertain four of the big football games in 114. with a possibil ity of three more swinging this way. Seattle gets three big games and Spo kane one. Idaho and Washington State finally scheduled their game November '. which is a month later than in the past. Wrestling T.nraer Scheduled. Tn addition to the four football games for Portland, the 1914 confer ence wrestling tourney was scheduled for late in March at the Multnomah Club. The 1JH track and field meet was awarded to Pullman and will be held on May 23. according to John It. Ben cer. The Northwest was dlvlOed into two sections, east and west, for baseball and basketball. In baseball each of the three colleges west of the moun tains plays the other four games, while the same Is true of the three on the other side of the hills. In basket ball six games between each college were wished on the schools. In tne world's series in these sports the Rastern baseball champions come "West, while In basketball the Western champions hop across the divide to battle against the Eastern aspirants. Willamette Man Walt. Willamette University's application to membership In the conference was laid over for one year on the grounds that this recent session Is simply a meeting of the scehdule managers. The football contests which appear rlinched for Multnomah Field are: October 3. Oregon Aggies vs. Multno mah Club: October 17. Oregon vs. Wash ington State: November 14, Oregon Ag gies vs. Idaho: November 26, Oregon vs. .Multnomah Club. Three other prospective dates for Portland are: November 7. Washington .vs. Oregon Aggies: November 21. Ore gen vs. Oregon Aggies: New Year's day, Idaho vs. Multnomah Club. Oraduate Manager Horr. of Washing ton, came down armed with Instructions not to schedule a game either with Ore gon or the Oregon Aggies on lultno rr.ah Field. Mr. Horr himself desired to meet both teams in Portland, but Dobie. presumably, is afraid to tackle the big Oregon elevens off his own field unless forced to do so. While the Orea-on Aggies do not figure on Washington's schedule, as announced by Managers Horr and t-tewart, the former was In consulta tion with Doble over telephone lute last night, and It is believed that when the conference session resumes today I he will be willing to treat with the Aggies. Washington's schedule shows only three major games, all at Seattle. Albaar May Not Katertala. Unless all signs fail Albany wiM not play the host to the aiinu.il state cham pionship clash between Oregon and the Oregon Aegies. One plan under consid eration calls for the date In Corvallls on November 21 and the other for Port land the same day. Among those pulling for Portland was C. N. McArthur. a prominent Ore gon Alumni and Sneaker at the last House of Representatives. "As long as the two Oregon schools continue to meet Washington one year on Dobie's home grounds and the alter nate on neutral grounds here in Port land. Washington will continue to whit them." declared Mr. McArthur." Their plea Is that they need the money accruing from the big city frames. That sounds like poor logic to me. Let them locate the state cham pionship game In Portland and Inside of three years they will be playing to 1..0o spectators. Then they can tell Wfhington to jump in the lake unleis willing to alternate between Seattle ar.'l the . campuses." Date .May Be Chasers.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE. Corvallls, Dec 6. (Special.) Ben Robertson was chosen todny as captain of the Oregon Agricultural Col lege football team for the season of ISM. Of the 13 votes cast by the men who won their letters this year, 10 were for Robertson, two to Blackwell and one to Moore. Robertson will play his last year of college football next year, having made the team during bis freshman year In the Fall of IS1U In the season Just closed Ben was at his best. Playing fullback, to which he had been shifted from end by D'. Stewart, he put up a smashing attack and played a Vteady game on defense. His sensational run of 40 yards for a touchdown in the Oregon game, after he had intercepted a forward puss, brought him into the limelight. Robertson is from Portland, having and Knabe for attended Jefferson High Scnool. where he wan the mainstay of the football SPORT -NEWS POT POURRI THAT Joe Rivers could defeat any - lightweight in the ring if his condition and courage were-always right. Is the statement made by a Los Angeles sport writer. This same man makes light of the "redemption of Rivers" which has been talked ever since he defeated cross. He declarca -that there has been no change. , i isj i Rivers is the samu Y.'.'iiX" I ss he has aiwaya v J- :., been, but he had the ;pwr."c courage to go in with the idea of winning. Rivers Is given to Ideas and before he enters the ring his mind must be In condition as much as his body. Joe Rivers literal ly Is afraid of the dark. He Insists that some one sleep times. From the day he went Into training. Abdul, his Turk trainer, has eaten and slept with him. In fact the little Mexican was never out of sight of Abdul, from the minute training camp was established until Rivers stepped into the ring to meet Cross. A fact never before confessed is that the Mexican has a'bad nose, a relic of a punch received In his "pork and bean" days. In order to get him Into as fino condition as possible. Rivers was taken to a doctor for an opera tion to the promontory on his face. The medico saw that the little Mexi can was getting enough wind and de rided that an operation would make his nose more troublesome than be fore. His condition was eplendid other, n'lse and he showed It all through his fight. The boy is now anxious to set an other crack at Ritchie. He has now a feeling of conviction and is sure that be could defeat the champion. Klvers still blames a lot of his de feat to the San Francisco seconds, lie Joe Rivera. with him at believes that they did not understand him and did not prime him right. Harlem Tommy Murphy Is working out every day at Shannons with a house full around the ring, every per formance. The Arniy-Navy management -devised a means of fooling the ticket scalpers. All tickets were numbered and cer tain numbers went to certain gates. Any of the tickets . which were In the hands of the scalpers were looked for by the gate men. Purchasers were warned before hand not to deal in them. It la thought that If this method Is diligently followed the scalpers can be eliminated where it Is known that the men have any number of them. Manager Robinson, of the Brooklyn team, is on the lookout for speedy pitchers. He likes fast men and from now until Spring, will' keep his e.res "peeled" for men with snap In their arms. The catching start, thinks Robinson, Is O. K. and will hold any speeders which he can get. Robinson is a great believer In handball as a train ing exercise and will have a court at Augusta, the training site. Pr. Otto Herschman. the Austrian athletic envoy, who sailed from New York the past week, believes that he has gathered all the material neces sary to make a championship Austrian Olympic team for 1916. On leaving he said: "I am leaving for home with the sad feeling that our country Is far behind you people In athletic affairs. On the other hand, as an enthusiastic athlete, it filled me with pleasure at each turn. The athletes of the United States are gentlemen." The American Hocky League Is having war within Itself over the six or seven-man team. The teams now stand seven men. There are many who would have it reduced to six. team.

Happy Hog-an Also Receives Offer From East Pennant Formally Awarded Portland Beaver Training- Camp Sought. SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 5. (Special.) The formal awarding of the pennant to the Portland club was practically the only business that came before the magnates In the closing; session of the Coast League meeting today. After it was over, Happy Ilogan. Walter Mc Credie and Roy Brashear took the boat for the South and Charley Fox Graham got under way for Sacramento.- Mc Credle Is seeking a training ground in the South for the Portland Coasters. Tonight the San Francisco club,, through the efforts of J. Cal Ewing. wae host at a banquet which was at tended by the remaining Coast League and Northwestern League delegates. Henry Berry, after keeping mum since tha end of tha ball season, fi nally consented to talk of the Angels' prospects for next year. He is going to have a dozen new faces on the club roster If all his plans carry. Faaa Like t hanae. "t don't need so many recruits, but I figure that the fans like to see new faces and H Is with that in mind that I am digging for talent," said Berry. "When Spring rolla around I expect to have an entire new Infield. I have a deal on for Borton. ex-f irstbaseman of the White Sox. who belongs to New York. an8 I have the Inside track to get Joel Berger from Chicago. Wash ington promised me a third Backer and 1 am on the lookout for a second sacker. Then we will have Moore. Page. Johnson. Metzger and Goodwin to draw from. "In the outfield the talent will be abundant. We will start with the old pitchers Maggart, Ellis, Krueger and Wot. ll and have Harper, of San Jose, and Calvo and Allen, of Washington, and may have another one or two to draw from. Four catchers will be taken into Spring training Boles, Brooks. Atbogast and Hoffman. It Is our nltchlnar staff that will be strengthened. Washington has turned i over Borton and threo others will come in the Spring. My Idea is to get some young fellows with speed and the old boys with curves will fit in. Faster Leagac Predicted. "Tho 1-sgue Is going to be faster next season. Right now there are three first-class clubs Portland. Sac ramento and San Francisco and the other three will have to organUe to keep up in the race. It certainly looks like a hot race even at this early date. The news was let out of the bag to day that both Walter McCredle, man ager of the champion Portland Beav era, and Happy Hogan. skipper of the first div'alon Venice Tigers, have been approached .with prpposltlons to grad uate Into the big leagues. Neither manager, however, would consent to talk about the offers and they departed for Los Angeles without giving any details. It Is known that personal financial Interest in the Coast League Clubs which they manage are such that nei ther man could well afford to go East Just what clubs were after the pair of successful Coast leaguers remains a secret. This Winter a number of berths' were open. Brooklyn and Cin cinnati, of the Nationals, have been open berths, and ln the American League a couple of clubs contemplated switching managers. "The offer was a good one." said Mr. McCredle, "but I refused and will stay with my uncle. Judge W. W. McCredie. I have an Interest In the Portland, or ganization and will endeavor to get together a winner for I9I4." McCredie At Any Given Price from maximum to minimum, there Is more definite worth in Benjamin Clothes For Men and Young Men than in any other garments which we know barring none.
