THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1920 T5 WASHINGTON SEEKS TO KILL SPLIT RULE Sound College Still Balks a 50-50 Division. SUCCESS HELD UNLIKELY Fred Bohler of "Washington State Confident Majority "of Schools Will Stand by Guns. , When the annual track meet of the Pacific Coast conference is held at Stanford this spring an effort will be made by the University of Washing ton to bring about an abrogation of the resolution adopted at the Decem ber meeting which requires a 6U-6U split of football gate receipts. Just at present this resolution is holding up the several coast college football Schedules, and, unless somebody backs down may result in the withdrawal of one or two of the present colleges from the conference. According to J. Fred Bohler, ath letic director at Washington State college, who is with his basketball quint at, Corvallis, the colleges which voted in favor of the new 60-50 rule are determined to stick, and Wash ington can quit the conference if she prefers this course to obeying the mandate. Although reports have been given out in Seattle that Stanford and the Oregon Aggies have signed contracts for football games it is known that neither college has yel signed with Washington. Washing ton, however, has gridiron clashes scheduled with Whitman and "Mon tana and one with Dartmouth, but that menu scarcely will Batisfy the palate of the football enthusiasts in the Washington metropolis. Therefore, viewed from all angles. It is evident that unless the smaller Institutions get severe attacks of "cold feetitis" the powers that be at the Uuniversity of Washington will have to swallow the medicine and give In to the inevitable. Washington . Begins to Hedge. Already Washington has hedged a bit by offering a 60-50 contract to the Oregon Aggies, but there was a joker in the offer, to-wit: that the return game in 1921 be played in Portland. The Oregon Aggies promptly refused to be dictated to in the matter of the second game. The offer from Seattle at least shows that Graduate Man ager Meisnest sees the handwriting on the porch rails. California is the only Institution in the conference that might aid Wash ington if the matter is brought up again during the track carnival at Stanford. However, California and Stanford are playing their big game under a 50-50 split contract, and, in asmuch as California voted favorably at the December meeting, there seems slight possibility of a complete re versal of faith on the part of the Berkeley officials. Bohler Explains System. "It is the only fair arrangement for both large and small institutions, said Coach Bohler of Washington State. Bohler, by the way, is secre tary of the conference. "The rule does not require a 90-60 split of al1! revenues derived; trora tne Dig games. The home team is permitted to keep the student ticket money and. fur thermore, the home team is allowed approximately 1500 for local expenses, officials, etc. The resolution requires that the receipts over and above these expenses be split equally between the teams. This system is in vogue in practically all the big college confer ences in the country. Washington State college negoti ated with the University of Washing' ton for a game, but negotiations closed when the Seattle graduate manager issue an ultimatum that there would be no game under the 60-60 scheme. - Washington State thereupon accepted an offer to play the University of Nebraska at Lin coin on Thanksgiving day. There fore this annual Washington cham pionship morsel will not be played this coming falL Washington State's football sched ule is as follows: October 16, Idaho at Moscow; Oc tober 30, Montana at Pullman: No vember 6, California at Berkeley; No vember 13, Oregon Aggies at Pullman; Kovember 25. Nebraska at Lincoln. Schock's decision was a "boot" and thought that the worst Lux should have had was a draw. It was a slashing bout, with Davis through his superior weight having an edge for three rounds. His awk ward style bothered Morris. Lux won the fourth and fifth rounds, how ever, and finished stronger in the sixth, and the referee's call was big surprise. In the second main event of six rounds Puggy Morton, the crack Los Angeles lightweight, easily b e a Harry Casey of Seattle. Morton won every round and knocked Casey down in the second round. There was no questioning the call. Lackey Morrow of Tacoma gave away several pounds to Frank Pete and still had an edge in their mill. This bout was one of the sensations of the card. Fred Zink. Tacoma feather, and Jack Davis of San Francisco fought draw. In the opening bout Vernie Hill, Tacoma lightweight, beat Kid Ashford of Tacoma. FIVE IS VICTOR SOUTH PARKWAY IiOSES TO SPEEDY CHEMAWA BOYS. Kedmen Ran Away From Oppo- nets In First Half Joe Bittlcs Stars for Winners. In the speediest basketball contest that has been played here this season the Chemawa Indian school five won from the South Parkway quintet last night on the Y. M. C. A. floor by score of 24 to 18. Superior passing and checking on the part of the Chemawa boys proved to be too much for the locals, Coach E. H. Hauser's Indians ran away from the local boys in the first half which ended 11 to 5 in favor of the visitors. Abe Goldstone, Park ways small forward who connected for one field basket and three fouls, was the only man of the local team who could do anything against the visiting quintet in the first period. On the scoring in the second period the teams broke even with 13 points apiece, but the lead which the In dians had piled up during the first session was enough for them to leave the floor at the end of the game with the Parkway team's scalps dangling at their belts. Joe Bittles, Chemawa forward, fea tured prominently In the playing of the visitors. The chunky forward netted four field baskets and covered the floor in great style. George Nix, guard, was tied for scoring honors with Bittles with eight points, mak ing one basket from the floor and converting six fouls. The South Parkway team was weakened somewhat by the absence of Morris Rogoway. Abe Goldstone made all the local team's points but four, which were made by Dubinsky and Popick. Chemawa (24). So.

Eu gene, Or., Feb. 5. (Special.) Oregon lost a close game to the Washington State college quintet here tonight by the score of 29 to 27. The lead al ternated between the two teams until the final whistle, and the result was in doubt up to the last second. Moss and Hockey starred for the visitors and Durno and Latham for the lemon-yellow. The Staters appeared in fine condi tion in spite of their long trip into California, where they have been playing this week. Their team work and parsing excelled that of Oregon, but they were only able to hold Eddie Durno. Oregon's diminutive forward, down to 19 points. 16 of which were made from field baskets. The lemon-yellow five started the frame with a rush, Durno scoring first and kept the lead during the half, the period ending with the score 16 to 13 in favor of Oregon. The Cougars staged a comeback in hte second half staged a comeback in the second half and froai then on it was a battle royal, with first one team in the lead and then the other. Rockey scored the final field basket for the cougars which gave them the game, and Moss cinched it by a converted foul. Tonight's game lowers Oregon's standing in the coast conference and puts the Cougars back to former status, having lost their second game with California. Oregon now has a standing of .333.

The left-handed flingers who are now Beaver possibilities are "Lefty Schroeder,. Dick Dunning, Fred Libke. George H:er, Bill Lesher and J. H. Cunningham. Dunning, Libke, Hier, Lesher and Cunningham, who .have yet to show their mettle, are in the fold. "Lefty" Schroeder is a holdout and says he will not play Coast league ball this, season unless his demands are met. Schroeder is at present working in Salem, and, according to the dope, will pitch for "Biddy" Bish op's Salem Willamette Valley league club this year. Portland lost its southpaw bet when "Red" Oldham was disposed of to Detroit, and his shoes will be a mighty hard pair to fill, but It may oe Detroit that will do that trick lor Walter McCredie. The Tigers have four left-handed pitchers "Dutch" Leonard. ' "Slim Love, "Red" Oldham and a youth named Okrie. One of these will be likely let loose, and as the McCredies are still on the best of terms with Detroit, It would not' be amiss for them to land one of these men, prob ably Okrie. Walter McCredie has yet to receive the contracts of Luzern Blue. Wes Kingdon and "Tex" Wiaterzll. the mainstays of the infield, and the only three holdovers from last season of the inner defense. Blue and Kingdon are holdouts, while it is said Wister Irs signed contract is on the way to baseball headquarters. Another prospect was put on the books yesterday when . it was an nounced that Boss Walter had signed A. V. King, a catcher, who resides in Omaha, Neb. King was tipped off to McCredie by a Detroit scout, and is said to have the making of a real backstopper. The 1920 contracts will soon be mailed to the Senators, and already few of the stars have received their next season's document. Among those ho have been tendered their con tracts are Roxy Middleton, Marty Mc- Gaffigan, Roy Mitchell, Kenneth Pen- ner and Fete Compton. While some of the players of the league are al- eady giving the scribes of the circuit something to write about in their holding out for money next year, it is not expected there will be any trouble in signing the Sacramento players. Several Coast league managers are uerying Charles Comiskey as to whether or not Arnold "Chic" Gandil. and "Swede" Risberg are available. If so they will be given a "trial" In the spring. This pair of heavers of the stitched pill stubbornly maintain that they are through with Comiskey, Gleason and company. The comment on the alleged world's series scandal caused the Sox stars to take their present stand. ease Dan lever at Stockton is so high in regard to the Sacramento team playing there that the city has started to erect a clubhouse for the players- at the ball grounds. The games at Stockton will be played on what is known as the Oak park grounds and the city owns the park. unariey Moreing is superintending the Stockton expeditions and is more than pleased, with the outlook. When Seattle traded Lefty Thomas to me St. Louis club for Oscar Horts man and two other players to be de uverea later, some of the fans up mere mougnt Klepper pulled bloomer, for Thomas was about the only winning pitcher that club had last season. But Klepper says the cluo has picked up a young southpaw named Sweeney who has far more stuff than Thomas, and he expects Sweeney to show as much as Walter Mails. He thinks Sweeney" win more than fill the shoes of Thomas, and that Hortsman will be a winner out here. In addition, the club will get a couple of seasoned players, and if one of them happens to be a classy short stop, the deal will be as good a one for the Seattle club as the trade Klepper put over with the Philadel phia Athletics when he sent Lyle Big- bee there In exchange for Pitcher Gear, Koop, a fleet fly chaser, and Ray Bates, a reliable ball player when In good health. 929 915 2040 high average.

It was five minutes before either team could lo cate the basket in the first half and then Columbia got two baskets In rapid succession. Hike Dunningan converted a foul for the blue and white and it began to look as if the double J aggregation were in for a whitewashing. A field basket by Bauer and a foul shot by Brame saved the James John crew from a blank ing in the first half. Another foul by Dunningan for Columbia ended , the scoring in the first period. Both teams livened up things m tne second season and at times roughed It with each other.
