AN c ALL-OREGON ELEVEN Gridiron Players "Who "Would MalEe a. Graek-a-Jaclc Team Bog-Lovers Organize a'Kennel Cieli. January is a month in which sports, aa in nature everything, sleepeth. The yeai opens with the finest possible prospects, but everyday work is marked by its ab sence, golf ajone excepted. Indoor gym nastics in the classes, together with bowl ing, form the category. The gymnaslun instructors, both in the men's and wom en's classes, report full attendance, with increasing numbers. In the field of outdoor sports, in the country at large, the question of -an All American football team is being discussed. There is also talk of an AH-Mlddle-West an Ail-Southern team, and so on. It ma not be out of place to choose an AHOregoa team. The task is not an easy one, aar there were strong, aggregations represent ed on Multnomah field during the season just closed, when team work, rather than individual plas-s, predominated. However, looking at the game with a view to select ing a team to represent the state, several players stand out in bold Telief. All-Oregon Team. Beginning with the center position, one home player, "Watson, deserves the honor. For sturdy work In defense, accurate pass ing and especially for speedy and aggres sive play, in helping the tackle-tandem, and even in end interference, Watson's work has had no equal here. Among the cither centers pitted against "Watson, Eu gene's man, Wagner, held him down tnt best. Wagner is a strong defense roan, but lacks Watson's dash and speed in interference and offensive work. For the guards, McKinnoh, of Multno mah, ami Smith, of Eugene, will be se lected. McKinnon's strong defense has been a marked feature of tins year's play. There have been quicker men in the po sition on the offense, but for all-around, Steady work, MdCmnon deserves the posi tion ol right guard. Smith, of Etigene, whose regular position on his team is tackle, put up a strong, aggressive game on Multnomah's team, at guard, against Stanford, and clearly demonstrated his strength mi the last-man tionod position. He is a strong, heady,, quick player, and showed himself the right man for left guard oa the All-Oregon team. For tackles. M. A. A. C.' two men are pre-eminent Jerry Rush and Pratt are among the most aggressive players that have been seen on Portland's gridiron. Rush came into the game late In the sea- eon, but in his three contests proved himself a star. Rush, as left tackle, la hDsen. Pratt, as right tackle, s one or the best f&otball men in the Northwest. This athletic young fellow found no trouble in breaking up any combination placed before him tore holes In the oppos ing lines, apparently at will, on the of fense; made good, heavy plunges, -when carrying the ball, and, on the defense, was impregnable The Ends. At the -wings, Young, QfEugens, is given the position of iet end, while Montague, of M, A, A. G , has right ens. Barrett, of the home team, has won hosts of friends by his steady, consistent work, but falls slightly below Young in speed, in getting down the field, under punts, in every other way, Young and Barrett aTs a staad off. Montague is the conspicuous end of the year. This youngster is a crack-a-jack in every sense of the term. Speed and pluck, and always his eyes glued on the ball, are his distinguishing -work. Kerrigan, at quarter-back, is chosen for the team. Edwards, of Eugene, is a gooa, heady player, but falls short ef Kerri gan in many particulars. Kerrigan's ac curacy In passing has been a revelation to old-time pla ers. In the games against Salem and Stanford, Multnomah's posses sion oC the ball was freeuent, and, m all his plays, Kerrigan made no fumbles in passing. In interference, he is always In evidence. In the handling of punts, his rterve in holding to the ball, in the facfc of charging ends, and his speed in re turning punts on the run, prove him an invaluable man. This is practically Kex rigaft's first season of footbajl. With next reason's added weight and experience, he should add to his already well-earnea laur-els. At the halfback position, the man "who stands head and shoulders above all othorh is George McMillan. McMillan, with, his customary diffidence, wishes others to have the glory, and, in the selection of the team, this point of acceding to h:a wishes is reluctantly assented to. Src Mfllan is not only the best halfback tn Oregon, but is, by all means, the best an the coast. The Halfbacks. Iieaving George out of the question then, the halfbacks chosen are Meyers, of M. A, A. C, and Bishop, of Eu.- Mey ers, at left half, made a. fine record air season, for heavy line-bucking and strong defense, and outshines his side partner. Bishop, in this latter respect. Bishop is a speedy boy, makes good. Ions gains, but Jails a bit short on defense. His brother. Bishop, of Salem, is his superior in this latter respect, but lacks his big brother's speed and experience. He comes a close second, however. Had Stiles been able to finish tbfc season, this strong young player would undoubtedly have made th& All-Oregon team, but a twisted knee put him out of the big games, and this seasoi may tell another storr. For fullback, Sanders, of (he Chemarwa Indian school, gets the position. Davey, of M. A. A. C, is a very close secona, the only paint wherein Sanders has su periority Is In his quickness in getting hia punts away. Otherwise Davey Us hia equal hi breaking the lhie and in defense. 'Ehere Is a young man, Harding, of Cor valiis, whoso work at guard or tackle comes nearly up to Smith, of Eugene. Hs style of play is quite similar, but fala i somewhat short In aggressive play.

Several previous attempts have been made to form a similar organ isation, but teok of harmony in the ranki of the dog-lovers caused failures. Tha present organisation Is compoBed of. the very best element of the sportsmen of this city and the surrounding country, ana the harmony and vigor with which tha work is already carried on augurs Well for its future success. The primary ob ject ia to protect and foster the breeding of the pure-blooded dog; the secondary Is to give this city the privilege of see'ing i what fine dogs there are on this coast, the I opportunity being the holding of a bench ehow some time in the early spring. Communications or queries concerning the Kennel Club will be gladly answered Dy the secretary, James A. Taylor, whose ad dress is -gjh Honeyman & McBrtde, ol thfe city. Already the charter member ship Ilat, confined to A0 members, is about complete, but dog'-lovers in general aro invited to help out in the worthy cause. Indoor Gymnastics.

Football Matters in an Uncertain State at the University. "There are some big football problems yet to be solved at Harvard," says the New York Telegram. "Among these is the question of a coach for next year. Cap tain Daly refused to eonflrm the story thai Cameron Forbes is to take the place again. The only matter that Is self-evident is that Harvard will go on with Penn. The agreement with the college is that it shall be lasting, with the option tha either college .can break it before the 1st of January. Otherwise, lUce a lease, It is self-renewing. There has- been nothing done in the matter so far as ea.n be learned. "Th.ere never was any real ground for believing Harvard 'would drop Penn. Thfe little Incident of Overfield's stealing the ball was used as a pretext for the stories. OverfieH and Pean made up for this hand somely. It cannot be denied that HarvaTd Is no$ altogether pleased with the present arrangement. But why should Harvard drop Penn any more than Yale should dTop PriBceton and take up Penn. That woula make a triangle. Yalfe does not like Penn. And for that matter the relations ei Princeton and Harvard are net as cor dial as those of Harvard and Penn. Har vard sees nothing to find fault with Penn now, and Princeton has hardly as good a claim to Harvard's company. "Tha. question of adding Cornell to the list of games is a mooted one. There is a disposition among the students and eomt of the graduates to begin relations with hem again. Much of this feeling- Is due to the aid Harvard men, notably Haughton and Lewis, have given Cornell during the last season. The main trouble has been the question of return games. To reach Ithaca, Harvard Is compelled tb leave home on Hiq Thursday before the gara& and to undergo a fatiguing raIlway-jour-ney. The j'ourney Is equally rigorous for Cornell, and it naturally objects to taking th& long end of the proposition by playing 1 at Harvard every year: Harvard, on the other hand, cannot risk the final develop ment of the team for the sake of playing any one institution. "When the two universities split, In the winter of 1S97-'9S Cornell offered as a com promise game m New Tork, hut this was impossible, owing to the Harvard tfegqla tlon, which forbids the team playing on -other than college grounds. Now It to possible to arrange a game with Cornell to be played on the Columbia grounds in ICew York city, which woujd meet the desires' Of th TTnrvnrrl mpn In TJottt Vni.Tr .-j I to see thgir team play, and at the same time allow tile two universities to have the -satisfaction of playing an annua game."

McGovern, in a reeent interview, declared that he never drank, smoked nor cbewad, and that he knew the time would come Uhen some one would bert Kim In the ring, as had been the case with every champion heretofore; that, therefore, he was making the most of his pres ent opportunities to provide for the future of tbose belonging to him. teie eketch of ifcGevem accompanying this article was taken from the Dcner Republican, and represents him as ha appeared in his latest photograph, taken quite recently. the" wooden elubs, !tVUe faults which a novice cannot see and for which he has discarded the club from his Hag. How often one hears a player say: "This is my pet driver or brassey; I have triad a number of others, but cannot get the same results." If an accident hap pens to this particular club, he is all at sea, and attributes ni poor play to the fact that he has no other equally cood. in his opinion. With one chip he slices, with another he puDs, and in an I elfOrt to get straight, be qnanges xus "stance" or his swing to remedy a fault with tho club, slight though it may be, and by so doing gets "off" his game, with the pleasing prospect in view of haying to begin all over again. The eecentricitles of a club $xe like an open book to the eye of a good club maker, and it Is surprising how quickly ho will detect anything wrong. A wellr known golfer, in telling ef an experience to the Baltimore Ameriean, gives a good example of this. He said: "In playing a reuHd the other day, I used a new driver, which t had selected With much eare. In spite of everything I could do, howeer, I kept slicing -from each tee, and finally discarded the cjub for the rest of the round, being already five down io my opponent, for no other reason.

Once an Elevator Boy, TTow Ruffles iVith Best of 'Era. Of the outside betting" speculators at the New Orleans races, Hugh Kane, a former associate of Dan Stuaxt hi Texas, is, by common consent, the leader. Kane, according to the Denver Repub lican is a modeat, retiring man, who does a largo business in a quiet way. He was one of the fclg betters in the clubhouse at the race track at Saratoga N. Y:, last summer, hut it was not until the "Bri gade" de coup was brought off that the Sew Tork crowd deigned to notice him. One night he gat in front of a faro lay out, at which Jimmy Wakely, the New York sporting man, was the star player. Without knowing each other, Kane and Wakely were stringing together and mak ing the same size bets. Wakely lost &500 and concluded to quit, though ho continued to look on. Kane was out a like -amount but he kept on playing, and dropped ?2000 more before his luck turned. When It did turn, the Texan had the game oil to hhnself. The 9100 "pikers" dropped out one by one, and tho dealers shifted. Within n. eouple of hours Kane had $22,000 worth of brown . checks in front of him. Then he looked at his watch, ordered a bottle of Apolln arls and eashed In. When Kane had Teft the room, Wakely turned to Jack- Meln erny aBd asked, "Who is that guy?"

But his victories on English: race courses have not been because of his own generalship, game- and audacious rider though he be.

The standing of the teams competing in the "Big Four" and association cham pionship bowling contests up to and ra fiiadlng January 11 is as follows: BIsr Fowr." Per Won. Lost.

Four association championship gamea were played in. the afternoon, and the "Big Four' series In the evening. The afternoon games developed some sen sational work on tha part of Richards, captain of the Y. M. C. A. team, who tied the association four-Rame record of j 223, made last year by Rossite. of the Road Club, and brolje the record for per centage of missed and wild balls, former ly held by Wells, of the Road Club. Rich ard's percentage was .125, which is 25 points below the former record. Richards Ulissed but four balls in the first three .games, but missed five In the final game, otherwise Ms reeord would have been even better. He scored one game of 82 and one of 74. Notwithstanding this big score, the Astorians won three out of four games In the association champion ship, although Y. M. C. A. had a majority on total pins of 61. "Big: Four" Rcsnlttr. In the "Big Four" games at night, Y. M. C. A. took three of the games, win ning two very close ones by six and two pins, respectively. Astoria put up good games in both contests, and showed them selves strong in tournament work. Cap tain JLaws has the utmost confidence in this team, and, announcing his intention of winning all future games, advisas com peting teams to confine their efforts to the struggle for second place. This claim may prove somewhat wild, but Astoria will be in the race all the way through. The Astorians are scoring very even and consistent games, and the value of thl3 kind of bowling was never better illus trated than In the association games, where they took three games, with 61 pins agalrist them. Berger led Y. M. C. A. at night with 203 flat, a very fine total, the balance of the team bowling goed, but not high scores. Burroughs, with 176, and Burkholder, with 175, led Astoria. On Wednesday night the Oregon Road Club and Y. M. C. A. teams met on- the latter's alleys, in the second subserles of the association championship, and the re suit probably puts the home team out of business, so far as that contest is con cerned, although It is possible to recover, but not at all probable. The Road Club took all but the first game, which Y. M. C. A. won by 11 pins. O. R. C. won the second by one pin. and the last two by large margins. Although Y. M. C. A. secured a fine team average, O. R. C. had 75 pins to the good at the finish. Rossiter, of the Road Club, was high With 202, a single score of 83 in the last game pullitig him out of what might have been a rather low place on tho team. He had a fine start for a 90 score, with 10 strikes up, but a "center" spoiled it Berger again led Y. M. C. A., and main tained his reputation as a tournament bowler. The next association champion ship games will take place between O. R. C. and Astoria at Astoria tomorrow night. Disappointment at Salem. The games between The Dalies and H lihee at Salem Thursday night were a great disappointment, so far a$ size of scores Is concerned. Neither team scored its usual average, but The DalIi-3 bowl ers fared miserably, with a team total of but 779. This is 200 to 250 pins below what might be expected of them. Al though the home team had long odds on pins, the visitors secured ono game out of the four by a hcrdic pick-up fn the last game. Salem bowled a good aver age, not as high as the team is easily capable of doing, but it was far ahead of that made by the visiting team. It seenied to be an oft! night for The Dalles team, which -Is a very unusual occurrence, although there are usually one or two men on any team to bowl low. ?7e com plaint was made about the alleys, as everything was In excellent condition. It was a case of "fall-down" all around, ihe effects of which win no doubt be over come later on. McNary, of JIHhee, with 175, Was high man. Illlhee is somewhat weakened by the loss of Some of its more experienced tournament men. but slfll has a good team. Captain Barker, of niihee. is in goed form, and has been doing soma great work in practice, having Secured an zrveragf) well above 415 for 200 eonseetr tive games. The big interstate match contest opens next Saturday night with Multnomah at Arlington and Seattle Athletic Club at Taeoma. Games will be played thereafter evry Wednesday and Saturday night until the Spund teams come here, when there will be thrba consecutive nlehts of play. The Commercial ana Seattle Bowl- . ing Clubs appear first on Wednesday, the sn mst., the former at home against Arlington, and the latter at the Seattle Athletic Club. The association cham pionship win finish on the 26th, arid the "Big Four" on the 37th mst. There are seven set's of games scheduled for this week, as follows: Game Schedule.

In the first try the scores were excellent, and give some idea of the probable strength of the team. The six high men were: Huggfns, 197; Bowes 186; Cole, 185; Barragar, 173; Nelson, 171, and McKenzTe, fE9. As these alleys are three pins slow, this makes a pretty fine team average. A surprise was developed at Multnomah Moftday night, When the weekly team tournament took place. Craft's team, the winners for the four previous weeks, put up their usual hjgn seores, and, at the end of the third Kama, were 45 nlns nheaH of the nearest competitor, and supposed, as everyooay else did, that they had an easy thing. Consequently. It was a hard jolt to thexa. when the official count showed Buckley, Alien, Bailey and Hoeg to be the winners by ight pin?. The lat ter team put up a high total in the final game, which put tham. on velvet. Their victory caused great enthusiasm, as L Craft's team had done so well previously that they "were considered inrineibie. Summary of Scores.

The total f amounts of each item for the whole four games, and not for each game separately, should be given, A. point In scoring that was inadvertently overlooked in the scor ing instructions is that, where the first i baJL after two consecutive strikes, is f missed -or wild, a "spare lost" is scored. Mr. E, R.

There was a poker emporium In Wash ington D. C., fast winter which thrived, says the Chicago Tribune, under the pro tcptorate of a elub of colored men. The elub was extremely careful, and for a long time the poTIee of the district could not gain an entrance or make a raid on the place, although they were morally certain that eraps and poker flourished nightly In the elubrooms. One night a colored preacher, not a member of the club, turned up at a police station, an nounced he had just been fleeced, and filed Information against the elub. He told the police they could only gain ad mittance by using the password, and that the password for the night wa3 "Wahm Babies."

Whether under the present international Cycling Association, or under the new body, the International championship bi cycle meet of 1501 will probably go to Buffalo. Powerful influences are at work to secure it for the pan-American exposi tion. Europe has it next year. America will claim it the next season. Tha Cana dian Wheelmen's Association had it in 1S99. The TJ. V. F. of France is sponsor for 1900, at the time of the Paris exposi tion, and the National Cycling Associa tion Is anxious to bring the meet to Amer ica th6 following year.

NEW LIGHT IfrRRMAMENT ETES OF..EASTIIRX1 FOOTBALLD021 OPEN TO PROWESS OF "WEST. "Phrady," in the Broo&Iyn Eajclc, Directs Attention to Fact That the Coast Can "Flay Ball.' "Phrady," the well-known sporting writer, In a review of the college football season for 1SS9, has considerable to say about the situation of affairs in tho West, as affecting the status of the game throughout the country in the future. In the Brooklyn Eagle of recent date. He makes no reference to the splendid show ing made by the Multnomah Cltfb's team, in its gam3 with the Olympics, of San Francisco, and tho Stanford eleven, but confines his remarks concerning play on the coast gridiron to the California field. Prababjy he will hove other matter for surprise-, when he shall have digested tha figures showing what the Portland boy3 have been doing with some of the teams from that territory, although, of course, the Multnomahs do not come within, the province of a review of college play mere ly. But just watch us, all tha same, "PhraSy," when, the boys are donning the moleskin again next fall! Meanwhile we note what you have to say: "The 1899 football season." writes tho Eagle man, "maintained, to the very end. its well-earned reputation for furalsairg unexpected and surprising denouements. The gam which was played on Christ mas day, at San Francisco, between the Carlisle Indians and the university of California, was one as to the result of which the critics -were very uncertain. No one doubted for a moment the ability uf the strong Indian team, to run up a largo score against the Westerners. That they did not has opened the eyest of the East to a new light In the football firmament Unlike tho meteoric rise of Columbia up on, the gridiron, the progress of the uni versity of California has been very grad ual. Stanford and Berkeley.. "It was In 1S91 fhatLeland Stanford and Berkeley (California) first began to play their annual championship games. Stan ford won the initial game. In 1S92 a 10-10 tie was played. The next year saw an other tie game, this time with the scora S an. Stanford won the following year, and then another tie game was played. In 1SSS and 1S97 Berkeley showed up very poorly and Stanford was victorious both years by big margins, shutting out her rival. The season of 1398 found bo'H teams In charge of Yale coaches WiU happened to be great personal friend. Berkeley developed a team which showed an all-around superiority, and for the fh-Bt time she defeated her sl3ter college. During the season which has just passed the Berkeley team has been, coached by Cochrane, the Princeton star, while Burr Chamherlin, Yale'a 'B3 captain, has beeT In charge of the Stanford Interests. Berk eley again proved herself an easy victor In the big Thanksgiving day game at San Francisco. Aside from a general interest In the re sult of the championship games, tho peo ple of tho East have known very litt'o about the football which was put up o-i the Pacific slope. Frank Butterworth. toe old Yalo crack, coached tho Berkeley team some years ago, and reported when ho came East that the style of footbai. put up on the coast would mean about a 40-O defeat for the Westerners, at tho hands of the West Point eleven. Doubt less this was the case when Butterwor"! fwas on the coast Certain it 13 that the opinion which was derived from Butter worth's reports and those of other East ern coaches has prevailed up to the pres ent time. Rude- Axvakcninff. "It Is probable, however, that the game on Christmas day has rather rudely dis peHed all such views as to the ability of the football kickers of the Far Wes Aided by the beat of coaching, the team3 of Leland Stanford and, Berkeley havo gradually improved until today the latter eleven has shown itself capable of meet- l ing and holding Its own with the strong est teams in tne country. j.c win not oa long now before the universities of the West will be able to dispense with hired coaches, using In their stead the services of their own star graduates. This will, of course, be a long step forward toward the higher plane of amateur athletics which the next few years are bound to I bring about." This closes the reference to the college teams of the coast, but the balance of tha article Is devoted to an equally Interest ing subject. Referring to the fact that the past season In football was chiefly remarkable for the wonderful develop ment shown by many of the minor col lego football elevens of tne East. "Phra dy" contfnuesr "This minor team excel lence oermlts of two ways of treatment. . or, to" ho more concise, brings up two questions: Does it forebode a eonunuea I superiority among the smaller college teams, or has this Been a year wnen xaey were exceptionally strong? "In my opinion the latter view Is tho correet one. Small coneges will continue to beat the big teams, as long as the game of football Is played with anything like the present rules. The very essence of tho game is such that the strongest team is likely to" ba scored on by the all feared fluke. This year several blunders in the arrangement of schedules and other mistakes, added to the fact that several of the big teams were especially weak, has made the scaring of the small teams ususually large. In my opinion no prece dent has been established. I fully expect another season to see the same superior ity shown by the big teams which has so long been exhibited. Larger Colleges Should Win. "In this I dp not wish to be under stood as disinclined to give to the smaller teams their fall share of praise, or to seem to deny them, credit for the great de velopment which they have certainly shown during the past season. What I mean, is thai as long as the large uni versities can draw from the thousands In picking their team, whne the smaller colleges has only the hundreds to sift from, just so long the ordinary university eleven will be able to vanquish the ordi nary college team, unless the former be unusually weak, for some reason or othc "In brief, I do not look to see Colum bia triumph over Yale In 1300. nor Cor nell over the Princeton Timers, nor the Indians and Lafayette over the univers.ty of Pennsylvania.
