S. h-r Mii:- . mm ... : i -A - BV DICK SHARP. Five bouts, totaling 34 rounds of scrapping, will be presented at the Heilig theater tonight under the aus pices of the Portland boxing- commis sion, with Sam Langford, Boston ne gro heavyweight, meeting Tiny Her manjn the main event of ten rounds. Al Grunan, dlever Los Angeles lightweight, who showed an abun dance of clas against Willie -St. Clair on the last Portland card, will battle Young Sam Langford of Seattle in the eight-round semi-final. Puggy Morton, San Krancisco light weight, will tangle in the six-round special event with Roy Sutherland of Los Angeles. Young Jack Dempsey, from Ta coma, is down to box or fight Johnny Boscovitch of Portland in another six-round set-to. Dempsey should have a weight advantage of ten pounds. The curtain-raiser will find Ted Hoke, the hard-hitting Portland featherweight, clashing with Joe Dunn of Tacoma. They are sched uled to travel four rounds, but it looks like less. There Is a possibility of a suflden cessation of hostilities in every one of the bouts but the semi-wind-up. In this match both men are clever boxers as well as fighters, and to stop either one of them would be a hard job for any mixer at their weight. Of course, if either happens to land on the other's chin, it would take "more than cleverness to hold the lambasted one up. Sam Lansrford has been training for tonight's fight harder, perhaps, than he has trained for any fight in sev eral years, and Sam has been fighting some tough ones, such as Harry Wills, Jack Thompson and others. Langford has not been working so hard this time just to get in shape to beat Herman. He lias trimmed Tiny once, and thinks a lot of the big Astoria' mixer; but what Sam wants to do is atone for his showing against l.ee Anderson, and it looks as though Herman will be the goat for Sam's comeback. Fighters usually do little work the day before a fight, but Langford was out on the road bright and early yes terday morning and tapered off with u'yranaslum work in the afternoon. There is no mistake this time about his being in condition. Floy Sutherland isn't as classy a performer as Puggy Morton, but the youngster can hit like an army miile, and if he catches the dancing Puggy suqarely Morton will have something to worry about. Sutherland is tak ing the place of Harold Jones against Morton, but has been training right along and will be in good condition. f Tiny Herman and Chet Mclntyre j arrived yesterday from Tacoma. Me- ; lutyre also has Young Jack Dempsey j with him. Chet says that young Jack 1 not only looks like the heavyweight champ, but fights like him. ! George Eagles, San Francisco lightweight who is now living here, beat a lio-pounder named Jimmy Cot teral in Spokane Wednesday night. According to reports of the fight it was a real battle. ' Freddie Lough, young Portland 133 pounder, is ready for another whirl at the game aTter a six months' lay off. Lough says that he has decided to settle down and do some real training. When right, Freddie is one of the fastest youngsters developed 'round here. He has been working daily withTed Hoke. Terry Keller and Sam Langford may meet in a six-round battle in Aberdeen, Wash., the night of De cember 8. Both men have been ap proached about the battle, and Keller is willing, but Langford has not yet agreed to the terms offered. Boy McCormick arrived yesterday morning from Seattle, where he pol ished off Jim Flynn in a four-round bout Tuesday night. McCormick ex perienced no trouble whatever from his much heavier and more experi enced opponent, and handled Jim as lie willed. Just as the bell rang in the second round McCormick caught Flynn with a right-hand wallop that putVJim down for a spell. Boy picked him up and carried him to his corner, where he recuperated in time for the start of the third round. The Irish champion will rest up un til tomorrow night and then resume training for his ten-round match with Battling Levinsky at the Miiwaukie arena next Wednesday night. McCormick was offered a six-round match with Frank Farmer in Tacoma, but turned it down because of the size of the purse it would be possible to pay him. - Joe Egan of Boston and Joe Simon Ichof Butte, Mont., are slated to head . nekt Tuesday night's boxing card in Seattle. Slmonich fought a draw with Travie Davis in Seattle two weeks ago and made a hit. WeSdon Wing, Portland feather "weight, will meet Bert Forbes of Se attle in Vancouver, B. C, tomorrow night.

WINGED M LINEUP PICKED MOST OF PL-AYEUS IX AGGIE GAME WILL BE tSED. SuUors Practice on Multnomah Field -.in Preparation for Contest. Harry Dorman,. coach of the Mult 'tK.n.ah Amateur Athletic ciub foot "bal! eleven, was so well pleased .with the showing of his first string play ers against the Oregon Aggies on Thanksgiving day that he intends to stiirt practically the same lineup in .Hi.- game with the Pacifie fleet team turdny. Roily Jones, end, and Kenneth Bartlett. tackle, are the only two . players who did not get In the game Everett and Long Beach Contest Suggested as Curtain Raiser for Jiew Year's Game. There le no question that the Uni versity of California football team stands out as the unquestioned colle giate champion team of, this coast. Last week it seemed that Long Beach high school held the same relative position in scholastic football. Now Long Beach Mas, a legitimate rival in the Kverett high schooMeam. Long Beach has a remarkable Rec ord and a stung of victories that bears witness to the prowess of the southern California school. But so has- Everett high. The Kverett high school, under the coaching of Enoch Bagshaw. has1 produced a school team unquestionably the greatest that has been produce! in the northwest for many years. There are experts who do not hesitate to say the Everett team is the superior !of any northern high school of all time. The East high school of Salt Lake, Utah, holder of the Utah scholastic championship for two years past, was defeated by Everett a couple of weeks ago by the score of 67 points to nothing. It was the first defeat suffered by Utbh' in two years. Last year Everett held Scott high of Toledo to a 7-to-7 tie score. Scott being the --recognized eastern champion. Now the question comes up as to whether Kverett or Long Beach is the Pacific coast scholastic champion. There is only one way to settle the question, and that is to arrange for the teams to meet. There is n.o ques tion that such a game woo-ld be a big feature in Los, Angeles, Long Beach or Seattle, but would it not also prove a wonderful curtain-raiser for the east vs. west match at Pasa dena on January 1? If the Tournament of Roses com mittee wants a real curtain-raiser for that day, here ia the ideal game. If the tournament committee were properly approached, it is possible they would be able to find a way to stage this affair prior to the Uni versity of California vs. Ohio State match. It is worth while for one or the other interested schools to start the ball rolliikg. The Pacific northwest is getting ready for its ice hockey season. The 11)20-1921 championship season opens Monday, December 20, at Vancouver, B. C, when the team from Seattle plays Vancouver. This season's matches are opening one week earlier than usual, which will give each team in the league 12 home games before the title ia finally decided. Too bad Portland can't be in the league to enjoy the most thrilling game played. For that blame the iocal ice trust. 3 GRAYS IIARBOH BOYS WIN Auards of Coveted Football "V" Are to Be Received. m HOQI'IAM, Wash., Dec. 1.

The last legal obstacle to prevent the joint legisla tive committee investigating tHe "building trust" from making inquiry Into the aotivities of the builders' supply ' bureau was cleaned" away to night, when Supreme Court Justice Hotchkiss decided the committee could retain possession of the books and records seized as evidence at yesterday's hearing. x. Justice Hotchkiss also refused Mar tin Conboy, counsel for the bureau, a' stay to prevent the recall of Joseph Penny, chairman of the organization, as a witness.

Goss, presi dent of the Empire Brick & Supply company, it was learned that a corps of process servers had been out with subpenas for a number of Hudson valley brick manufacturers, who are alleged to make up the "brick trust." The manufacturers, it stated, have been requested to appear tomor row with their books. As Mr. Goss was leaving the stand he attempted to make a statement on housing, but was stopped by Mr. Un termyer, who remarked: "1 don't think this is the time to hear statements regarding housing from a witness who is in contempt of this committee. When you purge yourself of contempt we may -sit at your feet and listen to education." Allen G. Martin, steamsnip operator for the Munson Steamship company, testified he had made an unsuccessful attempt to sell or "give away" 1200 tons of ' high-grade building sand which had been brought from Amster dam as ballast by a steamship.
