14 THE 3IORNIXG OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY G, 1920 AGGIES T DOWN WASHINGTON GAME Corvallis Football Board Stands Pat on Split. SOUND SCHOOL IN COLD Refusal or Seattle Authorities to Abide by Conference. Hulc Causes Vacant Date. SEATTLE." Wash.. Feb. 5. (Spe cial.) The University of Washington football schedule received its second jolt today when Graduate Manager Darwin " Mcisnest was notified by James Richardson, manager of Ore gon Agricultural college that the Beavers would not play the univer sity except under a 50-50 financial proposition which, according to Meis- nest. Washington cannot accept. Washington authorities considered the O. A. C. game settled. Manager Richardson and the university repre sentatives came to a verbal agree ment, it is said, at the meeting of the conference in December. The date was set for October 23 and the finan cial settlement included a guarantee of $JO00. Under this proposition. Washington was to play a return game in 1921 at Portland with the same guarantee. Propoftilioa Turned Dottm. Upon returning to Corvallis. Or., After the conference meeting, the rep resentatives found that the proposi tion did not please the O. A. C. stu dent body. At that time Washington compromised, offering en opion of cither a guarantee of $2000 or a 50-50 split of gate receipts, one game to be played in Seattle and the other at Portland. This did not satisfy Rich ardson, who said he would come to1 Seattle to straighten out the diffi culty. The university athletic com mittee awaited at the specified time, but he failed to arrive. The next day a telegram was re ceived asking for the two games un der a proposition involving either a guarantee of $1200 or a 50-50 split of gate receipts, Washington's return same to be played at Corvallis. UanhinRtoa Afraid of Losm. In accepting such an offer, the University of Washington stood a rhance of losing money on the trip. Under the SO-50 split system, O. A. C. would 'receive approximately $3000 for their game in Seattle this year, whereas Washington would get ap proximately $1200 for the return match. Washington authorities, accordin to Manager Meisnest, can do nothing, and so the gridiron schedule has vacant spot on October 23. ' There still a chance that Coach Stub" Al lison. .athletic director of the Uni versity of Washington, who left with the basketball squad for a tour through Oregon, may settle the dis pute when he reaches Corvallis. one defeat.

When Sergeant Ray Smith, a prac tically unknown heavyweight, scored a victory over Bob Martin the other night it put a decided damper on the fistic ambitions of the erstwhile A. Ti. F. titleholder. Perhaps for a while now the fans will not hear 60 much of a Martin-Carpentier match or a Martin-Dempsey fracas. They can say what they may about a man's per sonal status, but "when he steps in the ring he has to deliver before he is recognized as a champion or near champion, i i , When Bob Martin's many friends began their campaign to put him within the championship possibility class they dwelt a good deal on the A. E. F. end but failed to look' out for tl'ie many stumbling blocks pro vided in the form of a hard-hitting fist. Kay Smith is a 14 times wounded, soldier of the old 1st division, com-, posed mostly of New Yorkers. Club managers have been refusing to give him matches owing to the fact that he was wounded so many times, believ ing he couldn't fight a lick.' He did engage in a few bouts and was suc cessful, but the crowning achievement was his victory over the' much touted A. E. F. champion in Cleveland the other night. Now there isn't a fight club in the country that -does not want to put him on and where he went begging before he - is now being offered $2000 and $3000 guar antees. The story of his fight, with Martin divulged the fact, that lie can fight. He proved a wonderfully clever boxer with a punch and he toppled Mr. Mar tin in the first round, with a left hook to the chin. "Scotty" Monteith, the man who dis covered and piloted Johnny Dundee for many yearsj is looking after Smith and predicts a rosy future for his protege. Aberdeen Issues Challenge. ABERDEEN, Wash., Feb. 5. (Spe cial.)

Tommy Gibbons of St. Paul, leading claimant of the world's light-heavy weight championship, will arrive in Portland tomorrow from Chicago. His suave manager. Eddie Kane, tele graphs ahead that Tommy is in won deful shape for his 10-round setto with Boy McCormick, light-heavyweight champion of England, at the Milwaukie arena next Wednesday night. The match between Gibbons and McCormick is attracting more atten tion than has ever before been di rected on a fistic bout in Oregon Matchmaker Frank Kendall and George Moore, manager of the arena, are looking for a sell-out, basfng their idea on the advance demand for tickets. It "iwas reported yesterday that all of the $5 seats have already been disposed of. The switch'' in the seml-wlndup which will bring Stanley Willis against Harry Casey in place of Pete Mitchie, has tended to strengthen the card if anything. The last battle be tween Willis and Casey is still linger ing in the memory of the fans and a repetition of their last engagement would indeed be a fistic treat. Willis and Casey slugged toe-to-toe In their first meeting. Nobody knows a great deal of the fistic powers of one Jack Barry, who is down to tangle six rounds with the sturdy little NIel Zimmerman, but if the wise ones take a tip from those who have seen Barry work out they will not stake too much that Zimmerman will score an easy vic tory. None other than "Denver" Ed Martin has taken Barry in hand to get him in shape for his encounters in the squared circle. Barry is said to be a mighty likely looking feather weight and a big surprise. He hails from Oregon City, but is not a novice in the boxing game. Lackey Morrow, the Tacoma feath erweight, who registered a big hit in his six-round mill against Niel Zim- A volley ball team comprised of 12 men selected from the business men's classes of the Y. M.

This demand, we -believe, is in proportion to the number of cars allotted to us by the factory, heavier in our own local territory than in practically' any other territory of equal extent and population. Dodge Brothers have a certain number of dealers and attempt to produce a certain number of cars each year. This output is allotted according to the best judgment of the Dodge Brothers sales manager in conference with his district representatives so as to give each dealer his fair share of the output. However, these allotments are not final. They are subject to fluctuation as a result of changes that may take place in the conditions governing the purchase of cars in the various sections. If some dealers have cars in stock and no advance sale and other dealers have no cars and a large advance sale, the factory assumes from the evidence at hand that dealers who have no cars and a large advance sale were under-allotted and proceeds to increase their shipments. We already have a large advance sale covering the months of February, March, April, May and a part of June. If you need a Dodge Brothers Roadster, Touring car, Coupe, Sedan or Delivery Car any time during the next twelve months we sincerely request that you place your order now so that we may benefit in an increased factory allotment and that you .may benefit by getting the car you desire at the time you need it. We will be glad to accept your order for a Dodge Brothers car for future delivery under the follow ing conditions : A fifty-dollar deposit on each order, i Each order will be filled absolutely in rotation. We will take your old car in exchange and appraise its value tat timet of delivery of the new Dodge Brothers car. The price is $1245 f. o. b. Portland for Touring Car or Roadster.
