8, TTTE MORNTXG OREGOXIAX, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1920 MEMORABLE RElGfJ Final Game of Season Slated ; for New Year's Day. PORTLAND IS OVERLOOKED Washington State Upholds Honor of Pacific Coast In Befitting Manner at Lincoln. - Another king's throns has toppled. King Football's 1920 reign will be a memorable one, but when he ascends to his throne again In 1921, and he Is one king who can always do a comeback, that reign promises to be even more memorable with a number of great intersectlonal games sched uled throughout the land. Officially dead, yet still breathing, the grand old king will wield his mighty scepter once more before his robea and raiment are stripped from him and his crown packed in moth balls along with the moleskins, pig skins and skinned shins. King Football's last court will be lie-id on New Year's day at Pasadena, Cat. Ohio State and the University of California will perform for his majesty, witnessed by clamoring thousands of the king's domain. Thanksgiving day really marked the final outburst of games of any consequence, that Is in any quantity, and brought to the close the greatest season financially that football has ever experienced. Never before have gridiron struggles drawn such crowds. Poorly matched teams, poor teams matched together, any kind of a foot ball game drew record throngs. VaBt stadiums were not big enough to han dle the mobs that would attend cru cial or "annual" games. Portland wasn't even on the foot ball map. and outside of the Multnomah-Oregon Aggie game received the go-by from all intercollegiate elevens. Here's" hoping that next year will find at least two conference games slated for Portland and as many as can be crammed In over that. Oregon sorely missed big Bill Steers against Southern California, who was unable to make the trip owing to the sad and untimely death of his father In The Dalles. Without Bill it seemed that the lemon-yellow squad was lost and It will be a mighty hard job down Eugene way to get a man to fill his shoes and those of the Huntingtons, Bartlett, Williams and others. Some good prospects came to light In Oregon's frosh turnout and sev eral dark horses will be on deck for next season. Oregon Agricultural college made a valiant showing under Coach Ruth erford considering the breaks they met at every angle, and with the re turn to school next year of many of this year's letter men the Aggies will havs to be considered for coast honors ' Washington State upheld the1 honor of the Pacific coast in a most befit ting manner back in Lincoln, Neb., Thanksgiving day, when Gus Welch's machine came back from behind with a rush and scored a 21-to-20 victory over the mammoth Nebraska eleven. Who had previously triumphed over some of the best teams in the country. The game was a thriller. After being swamped 20 to 7 and dragged in the mud the Cougars showed their Claws and let Nebraska have it from every corner. The kind of victory lhat Washington State recorded is ne that is a real victory. But for the disastrous showing against Cali fornia the Cougars had an unblem ished season on the tan bark and turf. If the California game were not starlAg them in the face many followers of the game would stamp the Pullman sqnad as the kingpins of the coast, but it will take another year to erase the mark against them, a a Now that Ohio state has accepted an Invitation to play at the Tourna ment of Roses in Pasadena and there is a probability of Notre Dame play ing in Portland, local fans are won dering if the Aggies will not be pitted against a stronger team than that which faces the University of Cali fornia on New Tear's day. Ohio state,, though subsequently accepting the invitation to play In California, declined to play Notre Dame for the championship of the middle west, de claring that Western Conference rules prohibited post-season games. So football fans must resort to Old Man Statistics to settle the question of superiority between the two teams. The only mutual opponent of the two teams this season was Purdue. Ohio state beat Purdue 17-0, scoring two touchdowns and a field goal, while Notre Dame ran up a score of 28-0 against the same team. The Irish started a second string against the Boilermakers, and after scoring atouchdown, ran In the first team, which scored 21 additional points and retired at the end of the third quar ter, giving place again to the second Btring. From this comparison it would seem that Notre Dame Is con siderably stronger than the confer ence champion. Notre Dame also gets the decision ot the only man In the middle west competent to judge both contenders for the title. Coach Scanlon of Purdue. The boilermaker mentor declared after Purdue's game with the Irish that Rockne'a team Is superior to Ohio State and to every other team Purdue has met this season. An other consideration is the fact' that Notre Dame piled up a score of S3-7 against another conference team. Northwestern, while Iowa, the strong est offensive team In the conference, not even excepting Ohio, was able to score only 20 points against the Evanston aggregation. Then for final consideration there Is the fact that Notre Dame has scored a tetal of 260 points this season against Ohio State's 150. Indeed. If scoring Is any criterion of a team's strength, Notre Dame is at least the equal of any team in the country. Against the strongest teams on her schedule Nebraska, Valpa raiso, Army, Purdue, Indiana, Michi gan Aggies and Northwestern Notre Dame has scored 180 points, while Penn State has scored but 110 points against Dartmouth. North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Nebraska, Lehigh and Pittsburg, the latter two teams bat tling Bezdek's warriors to tie scores. Then compare Notre Dame's 2S0 with Pittsburg's total of 146 points, Prince ton's 144 points and Harvard's 208 points, and consider that Penn S'.ate, Pittsburg, Princeton and Harvard all have tie games against them. - Since 1913, when the Rockne-Dorals combination first Introduced the for ward pass in the east, Notre Dame has been consistently strong in this department of play, and this year is no exception. Not a little of this season's success with the overhead . attack has been due to the won derullly accurate passing of Gipp, the left halfback, who is declared by New York critics to be the best seen ' In the east since the days of Ted Coy of Yale. Crippled with a broken shoulder blade. Gipp went into the last quarter of the Notre Dame Northwestern, game two weeks ago witn instructions to do nothing but pass. In the next four plays from scrimmage Gipp hurled four passes, all complete, three of them scoring touchdowns. If Rockne'a Notre Dame warriors come to Portland, local fans are In for one grand exhibition of football. The outcome of the Dartmouth Washington game in Seattle Saturday was as expected, but had not the Hanover team boasted of a brilliant array of aerial formations they might not have gotten by in such fine shape. Followers of the Washington team in Seattle were., willing to bet their money that Dartmouth would not trim the Sundodgers by more than 25 points and those who took them up are sadder' but wiser "gamboleers." Taking everything into considera tion Washington made a most cred itable showing against the invaders. The University of Pennsylvania took an awful fall out of Gil Doble's Cornell collegians Thanksgiving day, much to the surprise of gridiron fans on the Pacific slope. Pennsylvania has been far from an invincible eleven this season while Cornell did un usually well under Doble's guidance up until the time they tackled Penn. The final score was Pennsylvania 28, Cornell 0. the worst lacing suf fered by Cornell all season, and nearly as much as the total number of points scored against them by all Its other opponents combined. Pittsburg also made an nnlooked for rally against Penn State, battling Hugo Bezdek's team to a scoreless tie. Penn State was a heavy favor ite despite the fact that Pittsburg did not lose a game this season. The Utah Aggies were more suc cessful than the Oregon Aggies, win ning the state title in Salt Lake City last week by defeating the Univer sity of Utah, 9 to 3. Center college wound up its 1920 season by registering a 103-to-0 vic tory over Georgetown college. Un like other institutions the officials at Center evidently scheduled the easy games for the wlndup instead of the opening of the season. Notre Dame marked up another season without a single setback Thanksgiving day by trimming the Michigan Aggies 25 -to 0. Efforts were being made to schedule a post season game between Notre Dame and Ohio State to determine the best team in the middle west, but plana went to naught. Basketball league Meets Tonight. The Portland Basketball associa tion will hold its regular meeting to night at 8 o'clock at Spalding Bros." store, Broadway and Alder streets. A report from the schedule committee will be heard and in all probability the schedule for the coming season will be adopted. Permanent officers will be elected. Membership in the association is still open and teams de siring to enter the proposed league are asked to have representatives present at the meeting tonight. Tacoma Speedway to Be Improved. TACOMA, Wash., Nov. 28. Plans for next season's activities at the Ta coma speedway contemplate two dis tinct automobile racing events, the first and most important on July .4 with a secondary race later in the year. At the present time the speed way is being bonded for $160,000 to clear up the Indebtedness caused by the destruction of the grandstand by fire last year, and to make a number of improvements to the track. NAVY RESENTS AFFRONT WRESTLIXG LEAGUE IGNORES ACADEMY'S APPLICATION. Intimation That Middles Not Wel come Away From Home Canscs Surprise, ANNAPOLIS, Nov. 27. Those inter ested in athletics at the naval acad emy, and particularly the followers of wrestling, are surprised at the failure of the Intercollegiate Wrestling asso ciation to act on the application of the academy for admission, filed nearly a year ago. The application, in fact, was filed prior to the last annual tournament. The midshipmen have had to con tend with the reluctance of some in stitutions to permit their teams com ing to Annapolis for a contest, the ground being that the midshipmen did not play return games, but never before has it been intimated that they were not welcome us contestants when they are able to leave their own walls. The Naval Academy 13 now a member of the Intercollegiate Fencing association and the Intercollegiate Gymnastic association. It has been intimated clearly to representatives of the naval academy that several members of the associa tion, which includes Pennsylvania state. Lehigh, Yale, Columbia, Prince ton, Cornell and the University of Pennsylvania, do not want the mid shipmen as contestants.. One or two of them are understood to be in favor of the admission. The representa tives of the naval academy will not attempt to urge their acceptance, but the feeling Is that their treatment is by no means what might have been expected. Those who oppose the admission of the midshipmen admit that they can not hope to contend against them on equal terms, and give as their precise reason that wrestling is a regular part of the course of the naval academy. In this they are in error. Every midshipman is taught some thing about every branch of sport in ordinary use, but does not get any more Instruction in wrestling than in any other sport unless be Is a can didate for the team. The sport is not nearly so much a part of the regular training as. for instance, swimming, fencing and gymnastics. Wrestling, however, has become very popular at the naval academy. The midshipmen won all seven of their matches last season and all five of them the year before. They have most of their regulars of last season, and expect to have even a better sea son this winter. The team is assured of several matches with the teams of big eastern colleges and will look to the middle west. for one or two more. The Uni versity of West Virginia may be one of their opponents. The midshipmen will again have John Schutz as their coach. He will be assisted by Frank Lynch, the Baltimore professional and official. - Baltimore's Hopes Blasted. BALTIMORE, Nov. 28. Baltimore's hope of a major league baseball fran chise disappeared with the settlement of the trouble among the big league magnates. There was rejoicing when the break came last week, local fans feeling that through it Baltimore bad a chance of being restored to "big time" baseball; but with an amicable agreement reached they are mourn fully admitting today that there is no chance at present. They cherish the hope, however, that there must be a third big league some time in the future. In which event they are satis fied Baltimore would be on of the first cities selected. HERMAN TO TRIJ reoiFOR GO Heavyweight Not to Arrive - Until Wednesday. REFEREE QUESTION ENDED Harold Jones Splits With Manager Mclntvre and Is Taken Olf , Local Card. By DICK SHARP. Chet Mclntyre, veteran manager and trainer, and his big heavyweight. Tiny Herman, who tangles with Sam Lang ford at the Hellig theater next Thurs day night in the headllner of what looks like the classiest card staged here this season, did not check in as was expected yesterday but tele graphed Matchmaker Evans that they would complete training at Tacoma and arrive here the day before the bout. The same message brought word that It was immate.-ial to the Her man camp whom the Portland box ing commission appointed as referee for the contest. This should set at rest any and all rumors that the two principals would be unable toxome to an agreement upon the referee. A more confident fighter and man ager never appeared here than this same Chet Mclntyre and Tiny Her man. It seems that their motto is anything will do as long as they are able to get Sam Langford in the ring and Tiny is given a chance to reverse the knockout he received at the hand3 of the Tar Baby some weeks ago. Tones Not to Fight. Harold Jones, who was to have met "Puggy" Morton in the six-round spe cial event, will not appear. It seems that Harold and Mclntyre have split over the bout. For some reason Har- old questioned Mclntyre's judgment over matching Tiim with Puggy, which resulted in Chet calling the contest off and his splitting with the Tacoma lightweight. Evans will sign either Harry Casey, Willie St. Clair, George Eagels or Roy Sutherland to meet Morton. All the above mentioned boys have little trou ble rounding into tip-top form on a few ' days' notice and should be able to give Puggy every bit as good a gc as would Mr. Jones of Tacoma. The match on the bill that Is com ing In for much discussion, however. is the eight-round semi-final between Young Sam Langford and Al Grunan. This Grunan chap made friends by the hundreds when he took Willie St. Clair to the cleaners, his showing be ing one of the real surprises of the season. Crnnan Will Be - Favorite. Grunan will go Into the ring Thurs day night a favorite, but not a top heavy one, for . Young S. L. is no slouch with the padded mittens. His great fights with Peter Mitchle, Joe Gorman and Weldon Wing are still fresh in the memories of the fans, while Johnny Fiske, who had the pleasure ol catching for Young Lang ford will vouch for the little colored chap's pitching and hitting ability, This contest looks like one of the best lightweight clashes staged here this season. The winner will be in line for a match with Joe Gorman unless Joe- imposes conditions that the match makers are unable to meet, or de mands Grunan and Langford to make toe low a ringside weight. Johnny Boscovich for the first time In his career Is really training for a contest and would make the highly touted young Jack Dempsejr, who has been specially imported to take Johnny to the cleaners, step on high the full distance to cop. Ted Hoke, who seldom prepares properly for a bout, also seems to be taking the business seriously and is down to hard training. If Hoke would attend strictly to boxing he should arise quite a distance in the profession, for any boy that has the punching ability possessed by Hoke should have little trouble in getting close to the top. In meeting Joe Dunn Hoke will start with a lad that will sock along with him and though this bout is only scheduled as a four rounder it is doubtful if it goes the limit, Eddie McGoorty, the Oshkosh won der, and George K. O. Brown, the battling Chicago Greek, have agreed to come west and start under the colors of the Portland boxing com mission. Matchmaker Evans has not set a date tor the two eastern stars or who he will start them with, but it Is supposed that he plans on using the pair on New Year's day when it is said that the armory will be ready to accommodate a vast crowd. Evans woulJ sure win the hearts of the fans if he would start McGoorty with the winner of the Langford Herman match and sign Boy McCor mick to meet Brown. The fans would be willing to pay the price for such a bill and it would attract the at tention of fistic followers in every city in the country. Cal Delaney, one of the hest light weights now appearing before the public, is anxious to start here. De laney Is a real fighter and will be there at the finish regardless of who he meets. At present Delaney is at Calgary with his manager, Jimmy Dunn., the same Jimmy Dunn who made Johnny Kllbane the feather weight champion of the world. Sam McVey, the California negro, who has taken part in hundreds of battles during his career and has ap peared In nearly every English speak ing country In the world, would like to meet the winner of the Herman Langford contest. Joe Woodman, who handles the affairs oT McVey, is sure that his man can defeat the winner. Utah Aggies Victims of Misplaced Confidence. - Negro Cook at Blackfoot, Idaho. Turns Out to Be World Record Sprinter. HALT LAKE CITY, Nov. S Sam KJ Craige, former negro track star of the Michigan Agricultural college and member of the 1912 Olympic team, is an assistant cook on the Oregon Short Line railroad. - running be tween Salt Lake and Butte, Mont. The discovery was made by members of the Utah Agricultural college foot ball eleven when they returned from Bozeman recently after a game with Montana State college. ' It so happened- that the members of the Utah team left their car for short time at Blackfoot. Idaho, and were exercising themselves in the railroad park when a negro cook came up and offered to run them a race. ..The Aggie players staked "$85 on the race and sent Coach Dick Romney in to represent them In a 75-yard dash. "How do we start?" asked the eoolt. "Why. you get down like this and explained. . - All right, all right any way." the cook said. ' . In a minute the cook and Coach Romney were down the line and the signal to start was given. With ten yards gone the colored cook passed the coach and won the race by agood number of yards. - wnen the runners returned to the crowd a big grin spread over the negro's face and laughing he said. I am Craige. Craige is a world record mTi In the 220-yard dash with a speed of 21 sec ops and 9 3-4 seconds in ' the 100 yard dash. . Paris Wants 1924 Olympic Games. PARIS, Nov. 28. The French Olym pic committee has decided formally to propose that the 1924 games be held in Paris. r - STANFORD BAITS' RIVAL SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA HELD TO LACK SPORT ETHICS. Bid of Los Angeles for Admission to Pacific' Conference Invites Attack From Palo Alto. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 28. (Spe cial.) The University of Southern California is trying to get into the Pacific conference. There are some who say the school is lacking in ethics In sport. Edward A. Rimpau, a student at Stanford, writes as fol lows: "For the last two years the Uni versity of Southern California has been making every effort to be ad mitted into the Pacific coast confer ence. "This question Is one of particular concern to Stanford. It Involves the athletio Ideals for which we have made such a commendable fight. "Some years ago it was quite the proper thing for western colleges to make Inducements of one kind or another to athletes to persuade them to attend certain colleges. - It was common then. All did it, and it had the sanction of custom. It is done by all eastern colleges now. But while this miserable system Is flourishing in the east, it Is to the great credit of western colleges generally that it has disappeared. "Unfortunately University of South ern California still practices this. High school athletic stars are ap proached before they graduate from prep school, and the subject of col lege is gone into. If they are in need of financial assistance to attend college they are offered ' "athletio scholarship.' and in case of further assistance being needed they may be given a job winding a clock or some thing similar at a salary. "Repeated efforts have been made for two years to secure one of our varsity football men. He was told that if he attended University of Southern California he could play in every game this year. The Pacific coast conference rules prohibit trans ferred students from playing for a year. When the Stanford varsity went south a list of University of Southern California players was submitted, all of whom It was said were eligible to play under the conference rules. One wonders if his name would have ap peared. "Scholastlcally University of South ern California leaves much to be de sired. Units from the southern law school are not recognized at Stanford. A student can graduate in law there and he would be obliged to start over again here. "They are ambitious and great ad vertisers, and their athletic teams are an important part of this adver tisement. They aspire to be the great university of southern California. We have no dispute with them; we wish them well, but to take them into the conference would be a blow to the principles we have so consistently championed." In 1905 a lowly printer, while at work on the Stanford Sequoia In Palo Alto, heard a conversation between two prominent Stanford students very much similar to the above, except that the University of Tshington at that time was the object also was considered as a school with a student body of near savages.

With Ghost Ball Under Arc Lights' Before Coming Game. The Multnomah gridiron will be the scene of considerable football Satur day, when the eleven of the Multno mah Amateur Athletic elub and the strong, massive athletes of the Pa-" cif ic fleet tangle. .-, Unless the Oregon Agricultural col lege grldders stage a contest with the Notre Dame eleven .here New Year's day, the game Saturday will be the last football game on the local gridiron for 1920. With both teams primed for a great struggle the con test . will be a fitting close for the scant football season which the fans have had the opportunity of enjoying. Good Game Prospect. As football games go the Multno-mah-Sallors clash figures to be the best thing that has been dished up to the football loving public In these parts this year. The navy team numbers several stars of eastern col leges and the Naval academy at An napolis -on its lineup who will no doubt perform in a manner both flashy and spectacular. Harry Dorman, coach of the Winged M team, has his choice assortment of football material all primed for ac tion. On top of that, the clubmen will hold two more practice sessions with the ghost ball under the are lights of Multnomah field before Dorman turns his charges loose against the gobs. The Winged M leader Is not pre dicting a victory over the sailors, but there is nothing unusual in that, as Dorman was brought up In the Gll more Doble school of football, where the golden rule was always to appear as pessimistic about the outcome of a game as possible. Fleet lias stars. The fleet team Is coming here with a lineup that might be. taken for a page from one of Walter Camp's all star encyclopedias. Several players on the team at one time or other In their varied football careers ' were either selected or mentioned for all American positions. - . The "gobs" are coming' here "with a clean slate. They have only played three games to date, having cleaned up ah all-star navy eleven at San Pedro In their first game of the sea son by a score of 84 to 0. Previous to this several of the California col lege elevens had tentative dates ar ranged with the fleet team, but after the game the college squads decided that thlr conference schedules were a little too heavy to risk being bumped off by one of the navy depth bombs. After Shamplng at their bits for considerable time the sailor lads were turned loose against an army team from March field. Riverside, CaL When the smoke of battle had cleared away It was found, that the sailors would have to be content with a 124- to-0 victory. Then followed a game witn tne Olympic club of San Fran Cisco. Here the fleet ran into 1 rough sea and were barely able to r.ose out a 7-to-0 victory over the winged J aggregation. STAR FAME IS NOT ESSENTIAL Many Successful Coaches Have Risen From Gridiron.Mediocrity. Football furnishes a number of striking instances of the fact that successes a coach maV often be won by a man who has never himself been a shining light on the gridiron. Th9 honors go to the men with the best knowledge of the fundamentals and who have made the closest study of tne possibilities of the game. Glen Warner, the famous coach of the University of Pittsburg eleven. Is an outstanding example of the man who has had great success as a coach without ever having created a sensa tion as a player. Warner played guard at Cornell, but there is no record of his ever having burned up the gridiron with brilliant perfor mances. However, he absorbed the teachings of his coaches and w able to enlarge upon them. With the fundamentals of the old game thoroughly mastered, as a basis, he was keenly alive to the possibilities of the new game and made himself one of the foremost football strate gists of the era. Robert Ziippke of Illinois was only a substitute when he was at Wis consin. But he. like Warner, had a naturar aptitude for mastering the game's strategy and instilling his teachings into others. Fielding H. Yost, who has built so many power ful Michigan elevens, was not con sidered a great forward In his under graduate days at West Virginia and Lafayette. Coach Roper of Princeton never crowded anv stars out of the limelight in his student days nor was J W. Helsman, the University of Pennsylvania tutor, looked upon as a great player when he was playing with the old Penn teams. Yet both bave furnished exceptional examples of successful coaching. , Numbers of other Instances could be cited where players who have not risen above mediocrity as undergraduates, have developed many notable elevens as coaches. COLUMBIA SCORNS BOXING Team Not Entered In Newly Formed Intercollegiate Association. NEW YORK, Nov. 28. Definite op position to entering a team in the newly formed Intercolleg'ate boxing association was expressed yesterday by athletio authorities at Columbia. Ii was made clear by RoBert W. Watt, graduate manager of athletics, that the blue and white had never consid ered forming a team for . Intercolle giate competition and was not con teniplatingdoing so this year or in years to oome. . - Officers of the physical education department, who have charge of the courses prescribed in the gymnasium for Columbia students, reflected the same opinion. Gerald Weeman, box ing Instructor-'1 for many years on Mornlngslde Heights, and connected with the same kind of work in Boston before coming to New York, expressed the opinion that boxing as an inter collegiate sport lsr open to many evils, acme of which are commonly linked with professional prize fighting.
