Harvard and the University of Oregon went through their final training sessions at Tournament park this afternoon. Both aggrega tions will take It easy on the mor row, the coaches announcing tonight that only signal practice is to be i held on the eve of the big lntersec- tional clash. Oregon worked first again, taking i the field at 3 P. M. Everything from fundamentals to the most complicated plays were rehearsed, after which j 30 minutes of the most strenuous Bind of skirmishing was indulged In. ' The west coast representatives are fit. Bob Fisher's foxy footballers ex hibited themselves before a small party of newspaper men. commencing at 4:15 P. M. A great deal of stress was laid on the forward passing game, one particular play especially. It was with this play that the Cam bridge crushers tied Princeton and beat Yale. Pnnn Planned Well. It is a pass over the center of the line, calculated to be pulled off in a fashion which is bound to result in , either Eddie Casey or one of the ;Horween boys or an end being un covered and ready for the ball tossed Murray. Fisher had his men practic ing this play during the entire ses sion, so must be relying heavily on it. When the crimson grid warriors trot on the field Thursday afternoon before a crowd of at least 31,000 per tsons they will be In pretty fair condi tion, although not quite up to the fine -'fettle in which the lemon-yello i rests .at this time. Cnai-h Shv Mm J lirlon Jcertainly hummed a ten-str. when the landed his team here several days 'in advance of the Massachusetts boys. Coach Bob Fisher of Harvard is i Very optimistic regarding the out- I .come, He holds the opinion that hi men are in good enough shape to tri umph over the westerners. There is no (ioudi mat Harvard is taKinpc tne ptma very seriously. The crimson is snot enjoying: a joy ride as did the Brown university club of 1915 and ithe Pennsylvania crew of 16. rnhrr to Imp Rwrvfn. "What Coach Fisher is relying on -ni ore than anything else is his re leerves. It is mighty hard to see any J difference between his A" and "B" I teams when they are lined up for crimmage. Harvard brought 22 play-i-ers here, and every one of them can :be classed a regular. Fisher makes ?no bones about saying that he Intends to keep his attack refreshed at all 'times and will not hesitate to pull BBddie Casey or anyone else should he -.become fagged out. The veteran mentor pulled one from thr clouds tonight when he announced (hat Arnold Horween, brother of Full bark Ralph, will be started at left I ha 1 fback. Arnold Horween has been playing center all season. This means thH t neither Humphrey nor Freddie Church will be In the lineup at the kickoff. It was officially announced tonight that the teams would line up as follows: Oreron Pni. Wt. No. No. Wt. Harvard. Stan Anrleron L.E 170 18 8 204 J- De,mon4 Ken Bartlett I.T 172 24 21 18."

Owing to a mixup here I that is the way they will appear on the official programme. Although the entire Harvard squad E was not frollicking about on the turf f field of Tournament park until 4:15 I P. M. the kickers came in for a lot of work early in the afternoon before the Oregon team practiced. General Bob Fisher and his strategy staff are Worried over the kicking ability of Bill Steers and "Skeet" Manerude and are taking no chances. I fisher intends to meet the lemon- yellow on their own grounds. In other words, every effort is being made to overcome the edge Oregon is .' Baid to have In the punting depart ment. Fisher is laboring under the impression that Bill Steers lifts his spirals for 68 and 70 wards. Fisher Aware of "Shy's" Kickers. Coach Fisher also fears the drop "kicks manipulated by Steers and Man erude. Ralph Horween, Captain Billy Murray, Dick Humphrey and Babe Felton are the young gentlemen who will boot the ball with the eastern ers. Harvard has been without a good punter all season. Ralph Hor ween and Humphrey did the -kicking against both Princeton and Yale, and neither measure up to the big three standard by a goodly number of yards. Bddie Mahan. one of the greatest kickers ever developed, is coaching the. Harvard booters. Trainer Bill Hayward of Oregon is working largely to develop wind, as the men are well finished on technical points of the game. As was the case yesterday the Eugene boys took a long walk this morning, covering about seven miles in the process. Hayward is a great believer In walk ing as a method of exercise which will bring the required exertion with out any danger of staleness. Knstern Writers Busy Lot. As the date of the contest ap proaches the output of words from the Harvard newspaper party has in creased to crescendo. Each of the men from the five Boston newspapers have been sending from 600 to 3000 words a day since his arrival. The representative of the N tm York Times is filing 3000 words daily, while Los Angeles newspaper men filing for 50 or more eastern papers are keeping the wires hot. Among the many Portlanders who arrived today were George Bertz, a sporting writer, Jim Seavey and Frank M. and J. Blaine Troeh. The latter trio were members of a trap shooting party which will compete at a shoot In Riverside. They will all come to Pasadena for the football game, however. The trapshooters called on Henry R. Everding, the Portland sportsman, who Is convalesc ing here. "Hy" Everding is coming along nicely, after a serious operation made necessary by a prolonged attack of rheumatism. Captain Roscoe Fawcett. formerly sporting editor of The Oregonian, will i mil iiiimi MhvwesAcwvsNisNkjrv-1 arrive tomorrow morning, according to an announcement made by the foot ball committee tonight. LITTLE COIN; WAGERED Oregon Money Not Plentiful Villi's- Otitis Are Forthcoming. Although the air is full of nothing but talk of the Oregon-Harvard clash in Pasadena tomorrow afternoon and many football followers are asking what the betting odds are, there has been very little real money laid on the big event. In the few wagers that have been made Harvard has been the lavorite, and as the time for the game draws nearer the odds are jumping still greater. The fans seem to be afraid that the Oregon line will not be able to stand the gaff and are panicky about betting their "shekels," even if the Harvard followers are willing to give odds. One staunch Harvard supporter of fered $100 yesterday that Oregon would not score and it was gobbled up in a hurry. Another $100 was laid at the same spot, giving the Oregon man 7 points. Another one on the books placed the other day was $25 to $100 that Harvard beats Oregon by 20 points. It seems to be the opinion that the crimson team will be returned the victor by about that many markers. Th'e short-enders have been knocking things topsy-turvy in 1919, but 1920 may start off true to form. CRIMSON SQl AD WISHED LUCK Eastern Gratluale Managers Send 3Iessage of Cheer. NEW YORK. Dec. 30.

H0NT7M(37tfvj me -pOTED SpfArC, IS.ApesK fATTFR-aoX KICKING DUEL FORESEEN PASADENA CLASH PROMISES MCCH FOR TRUSTY FOOT. Possibility of Game Turning to Test of Skill by Horween and Steer? It? Forecast. That well - known super - football classic at Pasadena on New Year's may be decided by the lowly human hoof. There is a possibility that the game will resolve itself into a punting and drop-kicking duel between Bill Steers and Ralph Horween. One thing is certain. Oregon will not be outclassed In the booting line. Let Harvard name the brand of boot ing which it prefers punts, place ments or drops and It will meet its equal In Oregon. In fact, it is not improbable that the crimson will be overshadowed in this respect. Not only has Huntington a phenom enal kicker In Steers, but the eleven is rich In reserve talent. Skeet Mane rud boasts a wizard, all-around foot, while Francis Jacobberger can even outpunt the mighty Steers, who does 60 yards and more consistently with out straining the pregnant hinges of his knee. Under proper direction and with good generalship the foot power of this trio can be converted Into both an offensive and defensive factor that may do much to nullify Harvard's at tack as well as rolling up points three In a bunch for the lemon-yellow. Regardless of the style of battle there are certain to be some electrify ing exchanges of punts, and if Har vard has any kickers of the caliber of Oregon, the game will Indeed be a superclassic in this respect. It would not be surprising to see the sensa tional punting of 1916 exceeded. Should the elevens prove to be so evenly matched that neither is able to strike sufficiently deep by line smashes, end runs or passing, the game will become a battle of boots, with probably one or more field goals deciding the issue. That the battle may thus resolve Itself is a thought that seems to dwell with Head . Coach Shy Huntington. At least he Is going to be prepared for such an eventuality, judging from the stress which he is placing on kicking in the workouts. Steers will meet a worthy opponent, but hardly his superior, in Ralph Horween. The latter's record in im portant games was a field goal against rrinceton and another against Yale. Steers certainly doesn't suffer acutely by comparison. There is another angle to be con sidered. Much will depend on the protection which Steers and Horween will receive from their respective lines and fellow backfleld men. The effort of the best booter in the busi ness can be nullified by a weak line. A kick which Is blocked is worse than no kick. It may spell disaster. Un less Oregon can hold the powerful Harvard line the kicks of Steers will rebound from a big "H" with a re sounding thud Instead of spiraling down the field. MAROON F BEATS GILBERT Quint Substituting for J. K. Gill Team Defeated, 5S to 21. Owing to the illness of several mem bers of the J. K. Gill basketball team, the scheduled game between the Gill five and the Maroon F quintet Mon day night was called off.

Scott School Men Appear to Be in Prime Condition National Title to Be at Stake. Members of the 3cott high school footbatl team from Toledo, O., passed through Portland early yesterday on their way to Everett, Wash., where they will clash with the Everett high school eleven New Year's day for the scholastic championship of the coun try. The party, which numbered 35, was at the Union station for only a mat ter of a few minutes while their spe cial car was being switched from the Southern Pacific train on which they arrived from San Francisco to the Oregon-Washington train on which they completed their journey north. The short time which they re mained in Portland, however, was long enough for members of the of ficial party to leave the impression that they were not worrying over the outcome of the intersectional clash iD the Washington town. "The players are all in the best of condition and the two days' workout which the boys will get at Seattle before the game will put them on edge for the contest." said W. L. Adams, graduate manager. The eastern team has been 11 days making the trip from Ohio, stopping off one day at the Grand canyon and three days In California. It had been the Intention of the Scott team to play Long Beach high eleven In Cali fornia, but satisfactory arrangements could not be made with the Tourna ment of Roses committee of Pasa dena, who had been planning to stage the game. In the party were 21 players; Grad uate Manager W. L. Adams. Coach J. K. Dwyer and wife. John Cowell, president of the Chamber of Com merce of Toledo, and wife; Trainer Herman Berlin. R. H. Demorest. prin cipal of the Scott school, two news paper men. students and members of the high school faculty. The team, according to Graduate i . Bwej ri Manager Adams, will average from 155 to 160 pounds. The players have .11 0-t mnsiderahle weight on the ' trip, especially in California, due to I the warm weather, which they were i not used to. I Newspaper men from Toledo ac companying the team declared the squad has no stars and that there was little difference between the reg ulars and the substitutes. In one of the Flues brothers, the Toledo team has what it calls Its "psychological factor." He is a slight lad, not strong enough to stand the gaff of a whole game, but a wonderful chap to send in In the last quarter when the team needs yardage. He darts through any kind of a hole and sidesteps or cir cles away from any one In his path. Skinner, the fullback, is a yard-line plunger, keeps his feet well and can be depended upon for yardage when his team gets within scoring distance. Bobb, an end. Is above the average player both on the offense and defense. Those In charge of the party were undecided as to whether or not they would return to the east by way of California. A great deal depends on the outcome of the game at Everett. Should the eastern champions score a Victory against Everett they will no i doubt return to California for a game with the Long Beach high school team. In the event-that they are beaten by the Washington "champs" the grid ders from the Buckeye state will board the rattler for Vancouver. B. C, and return to their native state by the Canadian route.

Joe Har rahan, Seattle, won a decision over OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallls, Dec. 30. (Special.) With the reopening of school but a few days in the offing, spring ath letics appear to be the main topic of conversation on the Aggies' campus. Coach Hargiss ordered a cessation of hostilities in basketball practice dur ing the holidays, but will send his basketeers into action with the re opening of school next Monday. Basketball prospects are looming up brightly and Hargiss expects to have a fairly formidable aggregation of hoopers by the time the season starts. The Multnomah Amateur Athletic club quintet probably will open the basket ball season here Saturday, January 10. James J. Richardson, general man ager of student activities, has about closed with the winged M hoopers for the first game. Many requests to be placed on the Aggies' schedule of bas ketball contests have been received by Richardson, but on account of the heavy schedule already arranged it Is doubtful If any additional games will be listed. Baseball Plans Made. While busy with affairs connected with various student activities on the campus Rcihardson found a few min utes to map out his baseball plans for the coming season. The Aggies, minus the services of any capable outfielders, last season finished sec ond in the conference. They were taken down the line only by the fast University of Washington nine which went through the season without a defeat and consequently won the Pa cific coast conference championship. The Aggies under Jimmy Richardson's tutorship won three out of four con tests from Washington State and two out of three from the University of Oregon, but like the other conference schools were unable to put a dent in the University of Washington's string of victories. Richardson again expects to find time to coach the baseball nine. Roy "Spec" Keene, who was elected cap tain of this year's team, will be one of the Aggies' hurlers. Last season Keene found It Impossible to get into pitching condition and was used as an outfielder. This year Keene eought the services of a bone specialist and his throwing arm is said to be in excellent form. Had Keene been able to pitch last season the Aggies might have been able to come out on top of the percentage column. Miller to Report. "Lefty" Miller, who proved the Ag gies' best pitching bet last season again will be on the firing line. Rich ardson figures that with the serv ices of Keene and Miller, together with Mcf'art and Hughes and with a few members of last year's fresh men pitchers he will be able to take the opposition down the line for few games. Whitney Gill will be out for the catching Job. Baker, last year's fresh man backstop, will give Gill a battle for the regular position. Ernest Pal frey, who gives promise of being an other Hal Chase, will be located at first base. Richardson thinks so much of Palfrey, who is a left-handed first sacker. that he already has recom mended him to the McCredies for a trial when Palfrey finishes his school ing. Palfrey is a hard hitter and works superbly around the Initial sack. He is a quick thinker and cuts many runs off at the plate. Carl Lodell. Walter Williams. Emil Selberts. Carl Rickson. "Chubby" Pat chin are among last year's Infield tal ent who will be out for baseball prac tice. Several former Aggie lnfielders who have been in the service also will be out for practice when the call is issued about February 1. Wayne Gurley also is said to be a hard hitting infielder. Outfield Is Problem. The big problem which confronts Richardson is his outfield. Last sea son the Aggie baseball coach had only one player who was able to play through the entire season In the out field. Every game the Aggies played showed new faces in the outer garden. Hartman. who played center field, was the best of the lot, and will be out again for a job as a regular. "Butts" Rearden also will be on hand for an outfield berth.
