HARVARD MEANS BUSINESS Trip to Pasadena Not for Pleasure, Coach Says at Ogden. OGDEN. Ctah.. Dec. 23. Harvard's football ti-.im passed through Ogden tonight on its way to San Francisco and Pasadena, being met here by a number of Harvard graduates. Coach Kobert T. Fisher declared all his men were In fine conditln. "The harvard football team is go ing to Pasadena on a business trip and not for pleasure," said Coach Fisher, "and it is going to try to win and uphold the honor of the university." T TIME IS U, OF W, OVERRIDES GRID MONEY RULE Seattle Contracts Ignore Divi sion Fixed by Conference. 4 OPEN SPLIT MAY COME BY BARRY M. GRAYSON, PASADENA, Cal.. Dec. 23. (Spe cial.) "Karly to bed and early to rise, makes a football team healthy and wise." "Shy" Huntington and Trainer Bill Hayward add a lot of work to the old maxim in preparing Oregon for the test against Har vard New Year's day. Tvo stiff work outs and an automobile ride to Mount Lowe and long walks after dinner tonight completed today's programme for the lads from the Beaver state. .Single practice and scrimmage took lip the morning period, which was un der way at 10 o'clock. The afternoon session saw the first and second teams scrimmaging against one an other. St.in Anderson. Mart Howard and. .Seal Morfitt, ends, practiced at receiving forward passes and in go ing down on long spirals lifted by the trained to of Bill Steers, 'Skeeter'' Manerud and Francis Jacobberger. The thing bothering Coach Hunt ington more than anything else right now is whether Anderson and Howard can turn in the wonderful Eddie I'asey of Harvard. In all fairness to the rather weak guardians of the lemon-yellow Wings it must be said that they eeem to be improving every day. Anderson Called Light. Anderson Is not sturdy enough for a regular intercollegiate end. Al though both he and Howard were stars at Washington and . Jefferson highs, respectively, they have not im proved as much as lads with their experience should. Of the two. An derson is the best on the offense while Howard outdoes him on the de fense, the latter being a bit stronger. Stan and Mart have the chance of their lives to make good in the coming combat, the biggest game in which Oregon has ever engaged. You have heard of a weak hitter knocking the tar out of the old baseball In a world's series haven't you? You've seen some obscure pug slam a cham pion with everything but the water bucket in a no-decislon bout and you've hoard of an underdog' football machine scrambling up to victory. Well, that's what Coach Hunting ton, Spellman and Mitchell, Trainer Hayward and the whole Oregon out fit is looking forward to seeing An derHon and Howard do. They looked good against the Oregon Aggies. They looked fair against . Hunt's Washington team, but flivered badly against Gus Welch's Cougars. Who knows but that New Year's day will see Anderson and Howard rise to their greatest height and smear Casey flatter than a pancake? Most football fans figure that Ore gon beat Pennsylvania on New Year's day. 191", and that Washington State licked Brown the year previous sim ply because of two things, the first of which was condition and the second the underrating of their western op ponents by the easterners. Some coast bugs may swell up and declare that western superiority runs rampant, but way down deep in their hearts they know that such is not the case, although we all know that our football is about as fast and that our athletes are more rugged. Crimson Vol Asleep. Harvard, with her ancient traditions and wonderful team, will never allow herself to become overconfident or to be in poor condition. "Pooch" Donovan the Bill Hayward with the crimson party, will see to that. The Cam bridge clan is coming here to fight and carry baok the bacon, which will partly avenge for the beatings handed to Brown university and the Univer sity of Pennsylvania. From all the telegrams received here Coach Bob Fisher is admitting that if he loses he will have no ex cuse to offer, in regard to overconfi ilence and' condition. Therefore the ' game will show a wonderful compari son between eastern and western football. If Oregon triumphs she will do so on the merits of western football and will prove, without any doubt, that the grand and glorious college game as played for the edification of west erners is superior to the pastime as exhibited to those residing in Walter Camp's back yards. CRIMSON DUE AT HAY CITY RarvArd Squad lo Pass Christmas Day in Sun Francisco. Harvard university's football ma chine, undefeated during one o-f the most unusual and eventful seasons of gridiron history, is speeding west ward and is due to arrive in San Francisco today. According to press dispatches, their train moved out over track 13 at the south terminal station in Boston. But the number did not throw any damper of superstition upon the confidence that seems to flame in the breast of every Harvard follower. Twenty-three players are in the varsity squad. The only regular un able to make the journey was C. A. I'lark, the big guard. But substitutes well abie to take Clark's place are available. Eddie Casey, the star back field man is said to have a bad cold. Otherwise the team Is said to be in better shape than when it played and defeated Yale. Ralph Horween's lame shoulder has healed and Des mond's knee is as good as ever. . Trainer "Pooch" Donovan fearing the long cross country trip might soften his men up, planned a programme of special exercises on the train, as well as quick workouts and signal running at each of the 19 stops the train Is making en route. Christmas day is to be spent in San Francisco. The boys will be enter tained by the Harvard club and will also be the guests of the university club. But the entertainment is to be of a quiet nature with the Christ mas menu carefully selected so as not to interfere with the training diet. Dispite all the planning that Harvard trainers and coaches might have made to condition their men Oregon has the big edge on the race to get In shape. The grind of the trip has already left the heels of the Oregon players and by this time they are practically at home in Pasadena. If condition will tell the tale Ore gon's stock should pull them over. MILYVACKIE FIGHTS TO BE ON NEW YEAR'S AFTERNOON. Boy McCormlck-Ton. .i Gibbons tO-Round jTla-h Originally Arranged for Evening. The Boy McCormick-Tommy Gib bons 10-round clash for the light heavyweight championship of the world scheduled for the Milwaukie arena on New Year's day will be held HE the afternoon, starting at 2 o'clock instead of the evening. Matchmaker Frank Kendall and George Moore, manager of the arena, decided to make the switch after talking the matter over personally with a number of sporting followers. Charley Wliite of Chicago, contend er for the world's lightweight crown, and who has fought every real boxer at his weight now appearing before the public, will meet Muff Bronson of Portland in the 10-round semi-wind-up. White and McCormick arrived in Portland Monday, and began train ing at once, working out at Ad Gar- lock's gymnasium. Both boxers appeared to be in great shape, and by the time their battles roll round will be ready for the gong. Joe Gorman will box Earl Baird eight rounds In the special event, while Al Sommers will meet Jack Hall, an Australian light-heavyweight, in the eight-round starter. Hall has been doing a good deal of fighting around San Francisco, and has a good reputation. O. A. C. ReTuses to Sign Document Which Excludes 50-50 Partition. Future Regarded Uncertain. Prospects for smooth eledding in the final arrangements for complet ing the 1920 Pacific Coast conference football schedule, particularly as re gards the University of Washington, are fast diminishing. Press reports emanating from the sound city place Graduate Manager Darwin Meisnest of the University of Washington as being quite defiant in his attitude towards those schools pf the conference which refuse to ac cept his terms for games at Seattle, instead of abiding by the recently en acted rule of the conference calling for a 50-50 division of the gate re ceipts. Previous to the last meeting of the conference held la Seattle, each school made its' own contracts wiih other members of the conference call ing for suitable guarantees with the privilege of option on gate receipts. By a vote of five to one the recent conference adopted a rule whereby the host team guarantees the visiting team expenses for 20 men with the privilege of a 50-50 option of the net gate receipts. Heretofore, it is said, the Univer sity of Washington played most of its games on the Seattle campus, giving the visiting team nothing more than bare expenses. Realizing the need of better finan cial arrangements for football games the University of California, Wash ington State college. Oregon Agricul tural college. University of Washing ton and Stanford university voted against the University of Washington on the new financial division of gate receipts. Graduate Manager Meisnest of the SIDELINE GOSSIP GATHERED ABOUND PASADENA GRIDIRON "Shy" Hunting-ton Receives Information From East Tipping Off Some of Harvard's Formations Plans Are Laid to Box Up Casey.

The only baseball game he attended last year was the opener at Los Angeles. Don Rader. local auto salesman and last year's Portland shortstop, is a frequent visitor. Don is a former Lemon-Yellor bascballer. He also says he is through with professional baseball. The Lemon-Yellow workouts prob ably will be reduced to one a day after the arrival of the Crimson eleven, which will also use Tourna ment park. The custom in previous p"ears has been for each team to alternate every other day at Tourna ment park, using one of the local high school fields on the off day. Graduate Manager Marion McClain has made arrangements for a block of seats in the center of the Oregon sec tion for the University of Southern California glee club, which will learn some Oregon songs and airs which they will render during the game for the benefit of the Oregon alumni. This spirit of the California boys In helping the Oregon boys to victory is commendable. Coach "Shy" Huntington is receiv ing information nearly every day from eastern friends upon the style of play Harvard is expected to use. It is un derstood that Hugo Bezdek, former Lemon-Yellow mentor, is lending a helping hand, sending different for mations used by Coach Bob Fisher of the Cambridge eleven. Coach "Shy" says he will have two husky Orego nians looking after "Paleface" Eddie Casey at all times during the contest. Trainer Bill Hayward says the boys are coming along nicely, and will be going strong in the next two or three days. clal.)-The Oregon atheletes. ac companied by Trainer Hayward. took a jaunt to Mount Lowe this af ternoon, after a light workout this morning. They were again whisked out to Tournament park for their sec ond workout of the day immediately upon their return. "Spike Leslie is again working with the regulars. ' His injured foot seems to be in good shape. "Bas" Williams was also working with the regulars this morning, but Hayward is taking no chances with "Spike" or "Bas," keeping them out of scrimmage for a while at least. "Bas" has also been running through signals at the guard position. "Skeeter" Manerud is also working with the first squad, alternating with Bill Steers at quarterback. Martin Howard, former Jefferson high star, and Stan Anderson, his running mate and former Washington high player, are making a hit with the southern scribes. These two Ore gon punt-chasers are in a class by themselves, in the opinion of local footballers. Coach Huntington is using Francis Jacobberger at quarterback on the second squad, and in case of injury to Steers and Manerud the former Co lumbian will be rn there calling them for Oregon." "Bart" Spellman and "Brik" Mitchell of the coaching staff hold a front chin-fest every night, talking over the old days at the Sigma Nu house. It seems as though "Brik was as signed to fatigue duty around "Bart's" apartments during his freshman days. Frank "Pop" Dillon, former Los An geles first baseman and present rancher of Redlands, was a visitor at the Maryland this morning, and says University of Washington recently dispatched contracts to the schools tentatively placed on Washington's schedule calling for various guaran tees and totally ignoring the recently enacted rule. Washington State col lege is billed to appear in Seattle on Thanksgiving day, but will not sign according to .Seattle press re ports, unless Washington agrees to abide by the conference ruling. James J. Richardson, general man ager of student activities at Oregon Agricultural college, was a Portland visitor yesterday and stated that Washington had sent O. A. C. a con tract for a game to be played in Se attle, Saturday, October 23, 1920. but as the contract is not in accord with the new rule governing division of gate receipts the document remains un signed as far as the Corvallls insti tution is concerned. "O. A. C. will abide by the rules of the conference, as regards all con tracts covering games." said Richard son. "The board of control at Cor vallls authorizes the signing of all contracts, and until such time as Washington wishes to abide by con ference rules I am afraid they w'.II have to stay out in the cold, as far as Pacific Coast conference games are concerned. Of course they have a two-year contract with the University of Oregon, which ends with the game at tugene next year. It will be in teresting to watch which, if any, of the institutions which voted for the new rule breaks faith with the other members of the conference. T think Oregon will give Harvard a royal battle, and It would not sur prise me in the least if the Eugene lads came out on the long end of the score New Year's day at Pasadena." said Richardson yesterday. "Huntington and Hayward will have the boys groomed for a great battle, and if fight counts for any thing the Cambridge lads are going to be treated to the surprise of their lives. I hope Oregon trims them and makes a nice Job of it." Everett May. former Oregon Aggie star athlete, was a Portland visitor yesterday, en route to Pasadena for the big game. May is now located in La Grande, where he is engaged In the insu-anee business with Charles "Shrimp" Reynolds, another Aggie gridiron star of days gone by. May was profuse in his praise of the wonderful work of Reynolds in coaching the La Grande high school team to the championship of eastern Oregon ibis season. "Reynolds had that bunch of young sters battling every minute of the game," said May. "They showed me more football than I have seen for quiet some time. I really think La Grande would beat any high school team in the state."

Corvallin Basketball Team Defeated DALLAS, Or., Dec. 23. (Special.) The Corvallls basketball team was defeated by a team from the Ameri can Legion of this city In a swift game at the armory Saturday night by a score of 38 to 14. The Corvallls boys were good players but their team work was inferior to that of the local team. Pacific Coast league magnates face more worries than signing up stars for 1920. There is the railroad fare bugaboo for instance. If the roads revert io private ownership it will probably mean a rise In rates. And boosting of the railroad fares, to gether with the upward trend of hotel bills, will spell a shift in the Pacific Coast league circuit. With railroad fares normal, the jaunt to Salt Lake has been a big one. It now costs a small fortune to take a band of 18 hungry athletes t that city and feed them for a week. Estimates have been made that the visiting i-lnli must take away $400 to make money on the trip there and the club that received half that sum last season considered itself fortunate. I'rnnvblar Nol in Demand. There has been no move to take the franchise from Salt l.ake City at present. The Coast league directors Ho not talk business that way, but they have been busy trying to find a way out of their difficulties in cate the talked-of rise In rates goes Into effect. William McCarthy, new prexy of the Coast league, bas three new um pires in mind for Coast league iobs next season, judging from reports. Ted McGrew, a Southern league um pire, who wants more money than the directors of the circuit have been willing to pay, may come. Bert Delmas, who played short for the Angels for years and who quit in 1911, and Jack Feeley. are the other two new ones mentioned. News has just leaked out that Ket tel Wurts. ex'-St. Mary's college bov. has been signed with Calgary for the coming season. Wurts has been play ing ball around the Bay section ever since he was a boy and is one of the finest ball players St. Mary's ever turned out. He was with the Beavers for a few months last season. Cal gary is going after the youngsters of the Pacific, coast, which Is enough In itself. A few of the Coast league clubs might taRe a hunch from the Canadians. Vernon has purchased Hap Morse from. the Saginaw club of the Michi gan league. Morse is an outfielder of no mean ability and hits the ball around .297. Tyrus Raymond Cobb will not be among those present when the big leaguers, or tho.se who will go to California to train, come westward. Bill Essick. manager of the Vernon team, dickered with the Tigers to bring them to the coast, but when the Detroit management replied that the club, with the exception of Cobb, would come west. Essick threw his hands in the direction of San Leandro and declared all bets off. The Detroit Tigers, without Cobb, would be a healthy box office attrac tion not. Cobb haa his own ideas about train ing, and he'd 'consider canceling Georgia, his home state, with the same deliberation he'd employ on the problem of amputating his right arm. Cobb has trained in Georgia for eons of time and he's not going to re verse precedent now. Tyrus does his own training in his own way. Re gardless of whether the rest ot the Tiger aggregation goes to Texas or Wyoming, Tyrus Raymond Cobb goes to Georgia. Being the Georgia Peach, Cobb must of necessity go to Georgia. Kill. FY GOLFERS TO FLY Freddie Puts Up Game Combat With Mttc-hie Alter Getting Bad Cut Over Eye. California, Oregon. Washington, Idaho and .Montana to Be Rep resented at Eastern Session. WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE Pullman. Dec. 23. (Special.) Dr. J. F. Bohler. athletic director of the State college, left today for New York to attend the meetings of the National Collegiate Athletic association and the Athletic Research society. Mr. Bohler will represent 'the states of California, Oregon, Washington. Idaho and Montana at the sessions-of both bodies, which will take up Important, questions of athletic policy to be fol lowed out by all colleges of the country. An Important question, said Mr. Bohler. which will be acted upon at the coming sessions will be the mat ter of graduate coaches for all col leges. The measure alms at the pre vention of the wholesale hiring of high-salaried coaches. He points out that large eastern Institutions annu ally hire as many as ten coaches, all drawing salary, with only the head coach as a bonaflde faculty member. "The vast sums spent for these extra coaches could be far better dis tributed for the cause of athletics," said Mr. Bohler, "which would result in Increased physical and scholastic efficiency for hundreds of students who are hardly ever participants in any form of athletics and generally the ones most In need of exercise." The Athletic Research society will attempt devising ways and means of instituting in all colleges efficient methods for athletic participation. This, according to Mr. Bohler. is the greatest question confronting athletic directors In the -country today and will likely require several years of work to make complete.

SHARP Jimmy Darcy took everything that "Battling" Ortega had to offer in the ten rounds that they fought at the armory last night, and regularly, just like "old faithful." would tear into the Mexican whirlwind and take the lead. ISeferee Perle Casey called the bout a draw. Four of the rounds be longed clearly to Ortega, three looked even and three might have gone to Darcj. The first round was tame or rather tame as far as Darcy was concerned in fact, so tranquil on his part that the fans began to hoot. They feared that it might be another session like that against Tommy Gibbons in Mil waukee last week. In the second round, spurred on by the booing and din. Darcy warmed up to his work, and the fight frofti then on was a succession of punches, with a fusillade coming from each side Darcy landed two good lefts in the second canto that put Ortega on his guard, although it did not tend to slow him up from his ever on-rush ing attack. The third frame found Ortega lash ing out with his merciless overhand punches and ripping body blows. right hook to Darcy's jaw and a solid smash in the Roumanian's mid-section caused the latter to become wary again, and the round went to Ortega With his seconds calling to him to cut the covering up and get in and fight. Darcy sailed in like fury in the fourth, and might be given a slight shade, but nothing to brag of. Fifth l tlirn I p. The fifth round was even with both men fighting hard. Ortega came back in the sixth frame and won the call. Darcy made his best showing in the seventh and eighth rounds, when It looked as though he Would overcome any lead that Ortega had. The Oak land middiewelght's punches seemed to lack their sting and Darcy made his best flash. The Portland boy tore in with both hands and landed many a wallop. A swing and a crashing right both found their mark more than once and for the two rounds things looked good for him The ninth found Ortega stalking Darcy from corner to corner again and in the tenth he slammed the. lat ter from pillar to post and had him groggy once. The fight was a good one. one of the best ever, staged here. Many of the fans remarked that had Darcy gone in and fought through out instead of trying to be clever or cover up he might have scored a vic tory. But such tactics would have tired him much more than those he used and he would have had a stren uous time going the distance unless he had managed to stow Ortega away. The Oakland boxer never slackened, up in his fast work for a moment during the ten rounds and was con tinually on the offensive. Freddie Anderson and Pete Mitchie fought a ten-round draw in the eemi wlndup and Anderson should have had the decision. It might be said before going any further that Freddie fought one of the best fights that any of the lightweights in this neck of the woods has ever put up In a local ring. In the seventh round Anderson re ceived a deep gash on his head and I over his right eye In a head-on col lision with Mitchte. The blood gushed forth from the wounds, covering the whole aide of his face, and although he could hardly see he kept right on battling and fought Mitchie off his feet. Al though many or the fans may noi know It. Anderson is blind in one eye, his left, and one can imagine me handicap he was under with blood streaming down over his good eye. In every round but the first the fight was a hurricane affair, and very seldom have the fistic followers been treated to nine such terrific rounds of milling. Anderson put up the best fight of his career, while Mitchie was ever on the go. Pete displayed a left hand, something that he has never used to much advantage In previous bouts here. He was always willing to lead and carried, the fight to Anderson. Mitehle Takes Manila. The famous "Bud's" brother, how ever, kept connecting with Mltchio and dealt out a beating. Mitchie suf fered a good deal of punishment around the face and was also bleed ing after the second round, when An derson caught him flush in the mouth and spilt his upper lip. Anderson looked to have the clear shade tn rour rounds and the rest seemed even- His left proved a menace always before Mitchie and he used it wilh deadly effect. In the six-round special event Nell Zimmerman won a decision over Pat Williams of Seattle. The bout was hard fought and Nell carried too many guns for his lanky opponent, win lams showed some good stuff but was outclassed. They weighed about 130 pounds. Johnny Boscovitch slugged hts way to a decision over Sailor Hansen In a slow four-round bout. Hanson had nothing and as a fighter he is a good sailor. Leo Bell and Kill Rocco. 133-pound-rrs. fought a four-round draw In the ci-rtain-raiser. There was little to the bout. Bell towered over Rocco In reach and height and the latter could do little effective work. BAIRD AND HARPER DRAW Seattle Topliners Box Six Rounds Even All Way Aloig. SEATTLE. Wash.. Dec. 23.
