THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1919. T5 TO PLAY Battle Set for Turkey Day on Cornhuskers' Lot. GATE DIVIDED EVEN UP Pullman Takes Pains to Explain TJ. of W. Game Still Welcome, Under Conference Rules. PULLMAN, Wash., Dec. 23. (Spe cial.) The turkey-day attraction for the 1920 Cougar eleven will be the University of Nebraska, the game to be played at Lincoln. This was the announcement made by the athletic council of the state college tonight after an all-day session. The game with the Cornhuskers on their home lot will replace the annual battle with the University of Washlngton; Whlcb Cougar supporters have hoped all season would be finally arranged for Seattle next Thanksgiving day.' The agreement with Nebraska ac cepted today is the culmination of many proposals by the Cornhuskers to meet the state college and will be played on the customary 50-50 split of gate receipts tendered by Nebraska to ail visiting teams. Although the CrlniBon and Gray rooters and supporters had hoped and planned to meet the university next fall and had offered as an Inducement a return game in Spokane In 1921, the Seattle institution refused to abide by the new Pacific coast conference ruling, which calls for an equal divi sion of gate receipts of contesting conference elevens. t Conference Vote Recalled. The new rulo. was last month passed by a five-to-one vote of the confer ence delegates in session in Seattle, the University of Washington being the only college to vote unfavorably. The University of California, with the largest student enrollpnent in the country and the biggest drawing power in the conference, voted to up hold the contention of the University of Oregon, Stanford, the Oregon Ag gies and Washington State in the matter. The last-named institutions have but a relatively small attend ance at the home games, ' being in small college towns. The new policy of equal division of gate receipts was adopted for the best interests of the conference, was the statement made by Dean Carpenter, chairman of the coast conference. The institutions In the smaller comuni ties have been seriously handicapped in years past In financing home games, and have been finishing the season with deficits, while those situated in larger cities have been closing their schedules with bulging coffers. IT. of VV - Not Snubbed. It was pointed out by state college authorities that the scheduling of the game with the University of Nebraska. Is a measure of financial protection for the Cougars, and In no way should be Interpreted to mean that the state college does not desire a game with the University of Washington next fall. It was declared by the authori ties that everything would be done to insure a game with the Seattle In stitution, but that the latter would be expected to abide by the confer ence rulings. "Well pleased with the selection of Nebraska for Thanksgiving date," was the message received from Coach Welch of the Cougars tonight. Welch Is at present on a vacation lit Mon tana with Sam Bird, former Carlisle teammate. GAMES LURE NATATORS ANTWERP gAMl'S CALL MANY PROM RUT I It KM EXT. 'Big Moose" Indicates He Will Quit Water After Belgium Card Is Thing of Past. BY HARRY EDDAS. Many are the swimmers of national and international fame who are stick Ing to the swimming game in order to make the American swimming team at the Olympic games. The latest addition to the already long list is Tedford Cann Ted Cann, the New York Athletic club's famous waterman, figures that he has reached his best as a contest ant for national and world titles and, therefore, will make this year his last in competition. He recently moved to Detroit and Joined the Detroit Athletic club, where his famous coach, Matthew Mann, will take him In hand again and train him for the Olympic events. The year 1917, when Cann entered the United States navy, was his ban tier year. That year he won the na tional 100-yard title, shattered sev eral records and defeated at the 220- yard the fastest middle-distance pad dlers of the year. Such stars as Perry Mrt'lllivray. Norman Ross, George Cunha, John Kehli. Herbert Volmer, Duke Kahanamoku and Ludy Langer were left behind. The past year Cann has been con stantly on the road in connection with his business and has, therefore, been unable to train, this alone accounting for his rather poor showing In com petition. Now that he is back train ing daily under the mentor who coached him to fame, much is expect ed of him. Norman Ross, the world's greatest swimmer, has time and again an nounced his Intention of retiring from competition after the Olympics. That he will do so is the opinion of those close to him. A champion gets no credit for sticking and then having some novice break in and take his glory away. Ludy Langer announced his inten tion of retiring for all time from com petition, but is now training prepara tory to his return In anticipation of a place on the American Olympic team. Duke Kahanamoku. who, It was feared, was throirgh with swimming, is also training for the Olympics. Billy Williams, Los ingeles diving star, holder of national and inter national diving titles, is about out of the diving game. Williams met de feat oq the board in a meet with Clyde Swendson some time ago and since then has failed to come back. His work in the movies, too, keeps him from training. Aileen Allen, Los Angeles diving Venus, has about scared the rest of the diving con tingent of the southern city out of the game. She has no competition willing to meet her. . . Herbert Volmer of the New York Athletic club staged a comeback after declaring he was through with the game, last week. He sprung a sur prise on the boys when he won his heat in the 100-yard handicap race, making It In the fast time of 56 2-5 conds. His performance leaves no douLiL that lie is as good as ever, for he came within 1 3-5 seconds of his COUGARS NEBRASKA GRIDDERS fastest time for this distance. Crifica present say his form was very poor, showing lack of proper coaching. His head was far too low and his stroke unnecessarily rapid and he failed to recover his arms cleanly. m - Another middle-Atlantic record went by the boards to George Cunha, late coast swimming star, in the fast time of 2:34 3-5 seconds for the 220 yards. A glance at past swimming events s-taged at the Olympic games fails to show a water polo game on the list of events. This year will be the initial appearance' of this event in international aquatics. France and Belgium have numerous teams and the game is very popular. England is the originator of water polo and has many teams, while Canada Is among others having strong teams. The recent announcement that Miss Gertrude Arlet had sat a new world's record for the 100-yard backstroke in 1:27 3-5 seconds Is erroneous. Frances Cowells 8chroth made It In 1:27 flat and this record was recognized at the recent meeting of the national board of the Amateur Athletic Union. Miss Arlet made her swim in a 60-foot pool, when the rules call for a pool not less than 75 feet. a Miss Millie Schloth. swimming men tor in the Portland public sohools. has returned to Portland after a tour of the eastern swimming circles. Miss Schloth' acquired many new and valu able points on aquatics while in the east and will put some of them into practice at once. An announcement of an exhibition or meet between the pupils of the Shattuck and Couch schools should soon be In order. STATE DIVING MEET IS SET Multnomah Club Announces Card for January 31. O. J. Hosford, chairman of swim ming at Multnomah club, announces the staging of the Oregon state swim ming and diving meet at Multnomah on Saturday night, January 31.

New records are ex pected to be set In this meet. SEATTLE TRADE IS HELD UP Const League Prexy Says Wares Must Ask for Waivers. SAN FRANC18CO, Dee. 23.

WILDE MAY QUIT THE U. S. BRITISH FLY y EIGHT CHAMP M IX TACKLE MASON. Rich Manager of Britorj Greatly Displeased at Result of Clash With Sharkey. Jimmy Wilde. Britain's flyweight champion, may go home ir he fans to make good against his next oppo nent in this country. Inasmuch as he is likely to tackle Frankie Mason, who has a decision over Pal Moore, the tour of the wee eisn man may come to a sudden halt. Mason enters the ring weighing any where from 105 to 112 pounds. He is all action from the first beli. and unless Wilde has more than he showed against Jack Sharkey at Mil waukee. Mason is likely to ramoie home in front, thus bringing to an end the visit of Great Britain's ring pride. Dave Hughes. Wilde's manager, is authority for the statement that an other defeat will send Wilde home. Hughes, who is Independently wealthy and manages Wilde for the mere fun of It, taking not a cent, is greatly grieved over the Milwaukee fiasco. He is lamenting the failure of his idol, and it is possible t J at Hughes may be talking contrary to the thoughts of the little Welshman. Wilde has talked a little about his mati:li with Sharkey, but makes no mention of quitting America if he falls to win the next time out. Wilde makes plain in his discussion of his bout the difference between the American and English ways of look ing at fistlcs. John Wray. a veteran ring writer of St. Louis, saw ths Mil waukee bout and, after giving Shar key the victory, said: "At all points of boxing, general ship and defense the Englishman was his superior. It Is probable that a British referee would have given Wilde a draw. "I understand that all the decisions have gone against me," says Wilde, "but I am positive, nay, certain, that, had the bout been fought in England, I would have won easily. I did not think there was any doubt about It, even though I did not fight my usual fight. Let me ask you a few questions. "Who landed the cleaner blows? Who did all the forcing of the fight? Who was It that did the clinching and sought the clinches?' It is a fact that Wilde led the at tack and . landed the cleaner blows and It was Sharkey who clinched as Quick relief from all troubles of the skin Annoying and unsightly erup tions of the skin from any cause are speedily relieved by the use of Santiseptic is powerful in its tendency for healing; its potent antiseptic qualities make it in valuable in all diseases of the skin.

"But even so. I think I won. and won handily. Sharkey's blows were mostly on my elbows and around my head and shoulders. He crossed and shook me once in the third round. but I was never ln danger and was never bothered by his blows." WAVER LEY OPENS COURSE Club Members May Play Winter Golf Christmas Day.
