PULLMAN M1TS FRAY INTEREST AT FEVER HEAT OVER OREGON GAME. Probable Lineup of Cougars Is In dicated Washington Men Hi- pect to Fight Great Battle. WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE, Pullman, Nov. 4. (Special.) Local grid fandom is united in opinion that Saturday's battle with the Webfooters on Multnomah field will mark the elimination of one of the contesting elevens insofar as the Pacific coast conference race is concerned. Coach Gus Welch will leave nothing undone to win the victory, and thereby the honor to represent the west against the east at Pasadena on New Year's day. Comparative scores of the two teams,: using Idaho- as a criterion, show that neither team holds a marked superiority. Fred Hamilton, tackle, will be in Saturday's game and this gives the Cougars two sterling defense men in him and Walt Herreld. the latter being an all coast selection before the war. Ellwardt, a recruit, and C. King will probably take the guards with Dunlap continuing at center. This is the tentative line, but, as in dicated, is subject to change without notice. Gillis, Moran, Jenne, Skadad, Mclvor, George and Captain Dick Hanley will be chosen for backfield duty, with Captain Hanley and Jenne as cer tainties because of their pleasing showing against Idaho. Efforts are being made by the. stu dent body to charter a special traini Interest in the game is already at fever heat. Portland fans will see the greatest gridiron battle in his tory when the Cougars attack the Webfooters this week-end on Mult nomah field.

FIVE ARE PICKED TO GO SEATTLE BALL MEN MEET SOCXD MEX GATHER TO SOLVE BASEBALIi PROBLEM. Beaver Pilot Ilad Chance to Take Reins Over Slwashes 'Before ' St. Paul Man Hove To. Dan Salt, Seattle boxing promoter, arrived in the city yesterday bring ing the information that a meeting will be held in the sound city tonight to consider the proposed deal whereby Mike Kelley, manager of the St. Paul team, pennant winners of the Amer ican association, will be acquired to handle the reins of the Rainiers of IStliO. Other plans for next year will be laid by the faithful 40. Salt, who accompanied Harry Casey, welter weight boxer, says that Secretary William Klepper will be elected to succeed the popular James R. Brew ster. Although it is not generally known Walter Henry McCredie, who has led the Portland club these many years, was offered the management of the Sound City club by the 40 directors. This was before Klepper commenced to talk with Kelley, who had fetched his Saints to Los Angeles ultimately to take a licking at the hands of Vernon for the minor league cham pionship. It was when Kelley, who is some ' pumpkins as a minor league boss, came north with the association gon falon grabbers that he and Klepper, who is a former Portland man, got together. Bill . Klepper is the rep resentative of an Oregon firm in the north. He used to reside here and knows well the ability of Chieftain Walter McCredie. Since Mack quit winning pennants several years ago they have all been spoofing him a bit, especially outside of this city. But the fact remains that Mack generally finishes up there with a club costing less money than tlie rest. Not only does he generally band together a bunch of young toss ers more or less inexpensively ob tained from various major and minor league clubs, but as a rule one or two each season drift to the majors, bringing a handsome lot of wampum or a bunch of players in return. No youngsters went from Portland to the majors during the season Jut closed. Pitcher Red Oldham will get another chance with Detroit, but he is a seasoned veteran on whom the Tigers have had strings for several years.

Zimmerman figured in a trade with Herbie Hunter, now a Seal. When the famous Heinie vas with the Cubs he tired of the Wrndy city and was shipped over tothe Giants in exchange for Larry Doyle, r.Ierwin Jacobson and the renowned Herbie H.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 4. Begin ning early in November the. Uni versity of Pennsylvania will under take an extensive campaign for the development of the ' mass-athletics idea originated there by Major Maylin J. Pickering in 1916-17. The depart ment of physical education at the uni versity is taking up the work under the leadership of Major R Talt Mc Kenzie and William Cromle, and, for the first time, has planned a logical and systematic way of accomplishing the best results and providing efficient management. The various intracollegtate basket ball teams will keep, several hundred men busy during, the fall and winter months, and in the spring- baseball will take the place of basketball. Many other sports, such as cross country - running, swimming, volley ball and track and field athletics will draw their full quotas o students to whom those sports appeal, but who are not quite equal to the task of gaining a place on the varsity teams. The idea is devised in the hope of getting every man in the university IntereHted actively In some form' of athletics. The fa'ct that the system may occasionally bring to light un suspected talent capable of develop ment into varsity material is merely incidental to) the main purpose.

Double Forward Passing Puzzles New Jersey Eleven, Resulting In Victory for Orange Men. NEW YORK, Nov. 4.7-Syracuse uni versity defeated Rutgers college in their annual football game here to day, 14 to 0. The orange eleven proved too strongfor the New Jersey combination and the Syracuse goal line . was in danger but once, when Baker, the Rutgers quarterback, in tercepted a forward pass and sprinted into a clear field, only to be brought to ground by Ackley, who overtook him after a long run. Play during the first two periods was confined almost entirely between the two 2j-yard lines, both teams holding well against the ordinary line rushes and end runs. In the third period Syracuse uncovered a puzzling overhead attack which quickly scored when Abbott's pass to Ackley was in turn thrown 35 yards forward to Schwarzer, who dashed across the line for a touchdown from which Ackley kicKert goal. With Rutgers" secondary defense forced to play : far back to guard against this form of offense, Syracuse, in the final period, gained half the length of the field on two successive end runs and battered its way over the last 10 yards for its second touch down by Erwig, which Ackley again lurnea into a goal. How to Play Golf. B1 Seattle Contention of One Defeat in 12 Years Borne Out by Deci sion; Controversies Quieted. Pullman, Wash., Nov. 4. (Special.) Dean Carpenter, president of the Pacific coast intercollegiate confer ence, today ruled that all Pacific coast college football games of last year should be classed as games be tween military organizations of the students' army training corps rather than between conference institutions. The conference head was asked to make a ruling in lieu of the conten tion raised as to whether or not the 1918 contest between the University of Washington and the University of Oregon should be regarded as a bona fide conference victory. The lemon-yellow- beat Washington 7 to 0 in Se attle early the first week in Decem ber. 1918. Dean . Carpenter of Washington State college said that all conference rules on football were suspended last year by a conference agreement that teams were made up without any re strictions and in some cases Instruct ors played on the teams. He asserted that the training given teams was only that permitted by military of ficers who had charge of the men out side of class hours and for these and other reasons the 1918 contests should not be classed as conference exhibi tions. In view of Dean Carpenter's ruling the Oregon-Oregon Aggies played in Portland in which the Eugene con tingent emerged on top 13 to 7. and the other big games of last season, will also not go down as conference victories. Most of the coast colleges awarded letters to their teams, how ever. The dispute over last season's Oregon-Washington game arose when the VVashingtoniaiis announced that last Saturday's 24 to 13 loss to Oregon was the first licking in 12 years. Dean Carpenter's ruling more or less sus tains their contention, although the i918 Oregon victory is generally ac cepted as a genuine win. Neff and Wallace Draw.

Among the only players of , local fighter, in a four-round go to- real ability that is, established abil- night. ity who have failed to enter the lists are Alfredo De Oro and George Moore, both of whom were former title hold ers.

As in the balkllne and in the pocket billiard classes, the title in this class is vacant. Cannefax held it, but at the present time there is no champion. Of course, Cannefax continued to be the recognized champion, and will be until the winner of this tournament has been decided. Cannefax enters the playing Ju6t as Hoppe did in the balkline event.

'Von Were Kind to Me Wliea Oth ers Were Not," Says Note De livered to Mr. Johnson. Y all odds a well-lofted, heavv mashie is best adapted to play in the rough. The heavy head enables the player to shear through the grass, while the loft lifts the ball above the grass. It is best to lift the clubheaa abruptly on the back swing and thu6 avoid the heavy grass, which winds itself around the shaft and spoils the shot. In addition the abrupt lift gives the ball a greater loft and en ables it to clear the ground. The first essential to a good shot in a sand trap is to get a firm footing. An in secure stance in the shifting sand means that the player will probably lose his balance on the back swing and top the ball. Always secure a good stance by digging the feet into the sand and after. making the shot, smooth over the surface so that an other man's ball will not lodge in the footprints. Before playing from a bunker study the situation, bearing in mind that it is not necessary to play ahead. It Is often expedient to shoot back or out to the side. It is seldom wise to try to pick the ball out of a bunker clean ly and a good golfer usually takes sand. The shot must be played (irm ly DAMAGES AWARDED MURRAY American. Association Wins Suit to .

However, if "Peanuts" Pander, Chief of Police Johnson, who re signed Monday, was the recipient last night of a diamond ring, presented by an unidentified boy who left an unsigned letter thanking the ex-chief for encouragement and help on tin occasion when the donor was "down and out." The chief thinks the iad who delivered the note and ring was the donor himself, although until the chief had read the letter he believed the package had been delivered by an ordinary messenger without uniform. The note follows: "Mr. Chief Johnson: You were kind to me when those who should have teen were not. You gave encourage ment when those to whom I had i right to look to for help failed. Your faith in me gave me courage to read just my life. The little gift in a small way expresses my gratitude. Look at it when others plead for another chance. You will respond as you did to me. The note was typewritten on Mult nomah hotel stationery and unsigned. Chief Johnson said he has no idea of the identity of tha writer.- MAN KILLED BY EXPLOSION FIREMAN ON DREDGE SUC CTJMBS TO BURNS.
