TIIE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 14, 1913. FOOTBALL TIMBER ARRIVES IN EUGENE Oregon's Gridiron Material Is Best Since Championship Year of 1906. HUSKIES AMONG FRESHIES I'nirerslty Drawing on High School for Some of Kest Men to Make 1913 Team--Seasoned Veterans Also Will He In Lineup. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene. Or., S'pt. 1J. (Special.) New recruit and football veterans have been or dered to report at the men gymna slum next Monday afternoon to be out fitted. Already the students are ar riving at the Eugene depot and among them are several "Huskies, wnicu, with the members of last year's team who are returning, will give Hugo Bzdek material out of which to mold a i.am nearlv enual to that or iue, when Oregon won the championship of the Northwest. Among the freshmen arriving are athletes who have been malting his tory on high school gridirons. Mollis Huntington, the speedy nanoacK ui The Ialles High School, and Martin Nelson, of the Astoria High School, are two lads of promise as kickers. Their arrival will relieve some of the anxiety that has been felt during the last two seasons over the possibility of Carl I-'enion being disabled and the team left without a punter. Among the men to be recruited from the students coming from Portland are John Beckett and Herbert Normanain. of Washington High School: Bill Tuerck and Jack Rlsely. of Lincoln Hijrh School, and Leo Malarky, of Co lumbia University. Beckett was cap tain of the Washington High team "Dopesters" figure on Beckett filling the hole left by the graduation of Ed Bailey, the 130-pound Orecon tackle. Normandln. Tuerck and Malarky are all backfleld men and candidates for the place left vacant by Dean Walker, cap. tain of last year's team. Under Bez dek old men will have no advantage over the new. Two notable additions to this year's squad will be Floyd Ross, of Wen atchee. Wash.; J. Putnam, of South Dakota, and Carson Bigbee, who will be competitors with Anson Cornell for the "snapper-back" position. Robert Bradshaw. of The Dalles, and Elmer Hall, of Baker, will be in harness again.' Jake Risely. of Lincoln High School. Is the only rival from among the freshmen In sight so far for the pivot position now he!d by Wallace Cau field. of Oregon City. Hope Is expressed on the campus that big Jim McClellan will be back in the armor again. It Is not known whether Hill Holden, who played a strong game at guard, will be on hand this Fall. Bob Farias, a senior who played guard, has announced that he will not be a candidate for the team, but will specialize on Glee Club work. Delbert Easterwood. of Baker; C. R. Nelson, a SOO-pounder from Lafayette: Charles Hoskins. of Echo; Ensley. of Drain, and possibly Marlon Moores. of Portland, are the freshmen who have the weight to make the line positions. Sam Cook, of Coeur d'Alene. may not return. He is needed badly at fullback. Another man who may be a. candi date for fullback is Abraham, of Al bany, one of the best high school men in the state. Bill Heusner and Joe Jones, half harks, are both good men and strong players. Bryant, formerly of Pacific University, also will make a good try for a backnld position. The Oregon squad, which will gather on Klncaid Field thla week, appears weak in the center of the line. A pos sible solution of this weakness will be the shifting of Hail from end back to his position at tackle. The ntllcial schedule for the season, with officials of some of the games al ready picked, follows: Octnber-1. freshman game with Ore gon Agricultural College, at Cor vail is. October 4, Vancouver soldiers, in Eu gene. October II. University of Oregon law school, in Eugene. October IS. University of Oregon alumni, in Eugene. October 25. University of Idaho, in Eugene.

Multnomah Athletic Club, In Portland. SEASON" TICKETS IX IDAHO Student at Moscow Will let to See All Games for $2. MOSCOW. Idaho. Sept. 13. (Special.) Becoming operative at the opening of the University of Idaho next Mon day, the system of student tickets to all athletic contests will be tried this year for the first time In Idaho. Its agitation last year by Graduate Man ager Larson led to a vote on the ques tion by the student body and the new plan wa adopted without a dissent ing opinion. The price of the new ticket will amount virtually to $2. being Included In an increase of II a semester of the regular registration fee required by the student organization. Where hereto fore it has cost every student attend ing all contests from $8 to $10 during the entire season, the cost would now seem to be reduced below an amount necessary to meet the expenses of the athletic activities. But thla difficulty Is not so formidable as it might appear to be. The new student ticket plan will ne cessitate a change In the system of guarantees offered visiting teams meet ing Idaho on the home grounds. In stead oj offering Washington State College 50 per cent of the gate re ceipts as in previous years, a flat guarantee of S1000 will be given. Idaho will. In turn, receive a like amount when she meets w. S. C. next year at Pullman. The Whitman team will also be offered a flat guarantee this year of 300. STANDS TO BE HEAUKAXGED Polo Grounds to Be Eaqieclally Pre- pared for Armjr-XTy Game. NEW YORK. Sept. 13. (Special.) Officers of the New York Baseball Club said this afternoon that elaborate ar rangements had been made for the handling of the Army-Navy football game which will be played on the Polo grounds Saturday, November 29. These plans were completed some time ago when the Military Academy authorities first made overtures to the club re garding the possibilities of staging the game in New York City. Secretary John Foster said that the plans included the remodeling of the Polo grounds baseball stands into a typical football stadium capable of holding approximately 40,000 specta tors. The infield and diamond will be sodded with heavy turf immediately after the close of the world's series and the football field laid out with the sidelines running east and west. The present stands will be connected In such a manner as to form a complete oval around the gridiron. The open stands back of first and third bases and center field will be continued down close to the side lines and the higher tiers of scats continued upward to give the necessary seating capacity. Special boxes for the Government officials will be constructed at the foot of these stands and provision made to entertain the President and members of the Cab inet and other prominent officials of both branches of the service. The New York baseball club will al lot 25.000 seats to be equally divided between the two contesting academies with the privilege of purchasing sev eral thousand additional seats If de sired. Something like-15.000 seats will be offered for sale by the New York club, the proceeds to be given to the soldiers and sailors' widows' and or phans' fund after the necessary expenses of tne game have been deducted. A special press section to accommodate 300 correspondents and operators will also be provided. 58 FRESHMEN DROPPED COXTEXDEIJS KOIt FOOTBALL IIOXOK-S XCMBE1I 88. Hah MrGulrc and Man i'oretcr, of Portland, Survive First Sweep of Coach's Pruning Knife. i;niverj:ITY of California, Berkeley. Cal., Sept. 13. (Special.) The first cut in the large squad of 156 men who are trying for places on the freshman football team, which faces the University of Southern California on October 13, ,was made by Coach Schaeffer today, when he scratched the names of 68 men. At this early date It was deemed ad visable to cut the squad, for there were so many capable men fighting for places that the 68 were entirely out of the running. Among those who sue ccssfully survived the pruning knife are Hugh McGulre and Dan Forster, of Portland. Forster played during both halves of the game with the Barbar ian club and the freshmen last week and showed himself to good advantage. The former Washington High man shows his basketball training, for he Is an adept In passing from the line outs and intercepting passes. It would afford the Portland people considerable interest If the California and Stanford freshmen were to meet this year, for reports from Stanford have it that Pike Grant, from Hill Mil itary Academy, of Portland, Is show ing up well on account of his speed and that Pay, of the same institution. Is considered a remarkable punter.

(Special.) Forty-two candidates for the Oregon Agricultural College football team are working twice daily upon the beach under the supervision of Dr. Stewart, Carl Wolff and "snnmp Reynolds. Six days of the early season practice had brought numerous minor injuries resulting in layoffs for Hewitt, Ras mussen, Robinson and Captain Shaw, who has not recovered from the acci dent to his foot in the woods at Ho- quiam. Captain Shaw's injury is one which will heal In time for the late season games and the captain is already Impatient to don the armor ana partici pate in the preliminary work. Special drill by tne Newport nie- saving crew and a trip on the deep sea boat Ollle S are special features of en tertainment furnished especially for the pleasure of the members of the camp thus far. Daily practices are neta at 9:30 A. M. and 3 P. M. and each session is wit nessed by numerous spectators hi spite of the long walk up the beach neces sary for Nye Beach residents. 'Sawdust," the long-surtering iaca- llng dummy, is the object of most vicious attacks, owing to the apparent inefficiency in this branch of the game..

WITNESS CLARKE COUNTY J.V GRANDSTAND AT VANCOUVER. if ACTIVITY OF THE SEASON AT ITS OREGON HORSES 11 North Pacific Circuit Racing Meets With Success. HAL BOY GETS IN MONEY Other Portland Stock Also Making Good Three-Heat Plan' Proving Satisfactory Allen Will Sell Stock at Salem. With the start of the North Pacific racing circuit in Washington and British Columbia, horses of Portland and Oregon continue to finish in the most lucrative positions. One of the latest to break into the money is Hal Boy, by Hal B.-Altacora. This pacer was sent North by J. C. Crane and entered in the 2:20 pace at Vancouver. The track was slow, with mud six inches deep. This was Hal Boy's first appearance in fast company and he distinguished himself by clearing a good field and hanging up a mark of 2:24. College Gent, bl. g.. by Kentucky Patterson, continues to show. The for mer Eastern Oregon horse won further distinction by taking the 2:14 pace at the Centralla meet. His best time wa3 2:12. The horse now Is owned by Joe Carson, of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Haltamont, owned by W. J. Vaughn, of Molalla, won three straight heats in the 2:08 pace. Best time, 2:08. This is another of the brood of Hal B. The week's issue of the Pacific Horse Review has an editorial by J.

C, and found successful. Hal Norte; b. s., by Hal B., owned by Ed Dennlaon, was In the 2:30 trot at Centralis, but failed to place. At'all of the season's meets the gen eral verdict is: "The best meet we ever had." Because of the poor at tendance at the last session of the North Pacific circuit in Portland, the city was left off the programme. Borena D., 2:11, owned by A. C. Lohmire, won the fastest heat in the Centra.Ua 2:12 trot. The racing farm of Frank E. Alley, Bonaday farm, near Roseburg, is to get rid of his entire stable of famous horses. Some of the horses that will be disposed of are Bonaoay, 2:ll'4, by Bon Voyage-Welladay; Sitka Boy and Boniska. They will be sold at the Salem fair the latter part of Septem ber. Oregon is to have a farm for the production and sale of polo ponies. W. IT. Sanderson and H. A. Chapman are to be in charge of the farm. It will be located seven miles from On tario. NEW SYSTEM PLANNED AMATEUR ATHLETIC UXIOX MAY HAVE RIVAL HERE. Proposed Organization Would Pay Athletes for Time Lost and Give Merchandise Prizes. The Amateur Athletic Union may have a rival association in the North west. Plans are being formulated for the introduction of the European sys tem of amateurism in nearly every city of importance in Oregon and Wash ington. Clubs will be organized and boxing and wrestling meets put on a regular schedule. Out and out professionals will be barred according to plans, but 'wages will be paid from the receipts for all time lost by the boys during trips. While the backers of the circuit re fuse to come out into the open yet, it is known that plans have been brewing for nearly -six months, the circuit to be patterned along the lines of the old Caledonian clubs. The plan calls for one referee who will be paid a monthly salary. Hi3 status will be similar to that of the baseball umpire. He will handle all mutches in the. Northwest. The membership of the clubs will be open to all. The plan calls for no dues, the upkeep of the clubs being paid from the general fund. Smokers will become numerous, the running ex penses and salary of the manager be ing taken from the gate, while the re mainder goes into merchandise orders for the athletes. Professional men will be barred. It is framed only to assist those who have work, and cannot indulge in athletics because of the financial side of it. Some of the towns which will have clubs are Salem, Astoria, Tacoma, North Yakima, Walla Walla, Pendle ton, Seattle, Bellingham, Albany and Portland. There is to be no limit to clubs in one city, but the staging of the smokers will be regulated. TWO DEFEXDEHS TO BE BUILT Vanderbilt, Morgan and Others Sub scribe lor Racing Yacht. vr-TimmiT T?

I FOOTBALL'S HERE E New Coaches at Oregon Agri cultural College and State University. WASHINGTON YET FAVORITE Every Conference Tenin, With Possi ble Exception of 'Whitman, Seems to Have Stronger Aggrega tion Than Last I'eur. A fortnight hence and the college football lover will be in his element. Already the "ping" of the pigskin has struck joy to the gridiron athletes, but two weeks more will see the great col lege game fairly launched on another season, and a season mat should be a prosperous one. In the Pacific Northwest two new coaches have been injected into the fray. Dr. E. J. Stewart has succeeded Sam Dolan at the Oregon Agricultural College, and Hugo Bezdek has come back to his old love, the University of Oregon. So far as early season signs are con cerned Washington, as usual, will be the favorite. Dobie has a student body almost twice as large as his rivals from which to draw material, and, moreover. he has a championship framework upon which to build. Dobie to Have JInrd Fight. But from appearances Dobie Is going to have a tougher fight than ever before. Every conference eleven, with the pos sible exception of "Whitman, seems to be stronger than a year ago. Idaho, Oregon and Washington State must be figured particularly strong, because the coaches appear to have a wealth of old material. At Corvallis Dr. Stewart has five or six valuable men, but will have to fill some big holes. His boys, nearly a half hundred strong, have stolen a march on all rivals and are now train ing faithfully at Newport on the beach. Archie Habn at Whitman loses some of his heavy linemen and faces a tough Job, but Coach Hahn always comes through In the pinches. Whitman plays Washington this Fail for the first time in three years. With few and practically no radical, changes in the 1913 codo, the game should advance rapidly and should be more popular than ever. It is the gen eral belief that the rules committee acted with wisdom when it decided to let the rules stand another year's trial without alteration. A clearer under standing and a better conception of the possibilities they offer is certain to create greater interest, both among spectators and players. Player May Return. Under the new ruling a player who ha3 been taken out can bo returned to the game at the beginning of any sub sequent period or at any time during the last quarter. Often there are many substitutions necessary in the last period, and the committee saw no rea son why a substitution could not be made sometime after the start of the period, as well as at the beginning. Section 3, rule ; which pnrtains to the penalty inflicted upon a team that fails to appear two minutes after the referee has blown his whistle to start the second half, has been made clearer by stating just where the ball is to be put in play after a 25-yard penalty. The forward pass rules have not been materially changed. The articla gov erning kicks and passes from behind the goal line has been made clearer, as has the rule governing the dropping back of linemen. In case the punter attempts to draw the opponents off side by feinting with his hands, the referee Is not allowed to permit him to kick the ball until the opposing side has had time to return behind the restraining line. In the case of a forward pass or after a kick, the insertion of the words "after the pass has been matte" make it evi dent that players may Interfere with one another until the pass is executed. This point has been somewhat vague in the last two seasons, and this insertion is of importance from the ofllcial's standpoint. Dobie, of Washington, was the only Northwestern coach who in sisted on the opposite interpretation last Fall. Pnnter Is Cared For Now. The most notable alteration, and that which will have no little effect upon the play, is that concerning the punter. This year's ruling gives him the privi lege of kicking the ball from any point behind the line of scrimmage; whereas last season he could stand not less than five yards back. The latter will no doubt rejuvenate some of the old quick kicks from va rious fake formations. This style of attack Is a diffifllcult one to check un less an eleven 'has men who are abso lutely safe in handling short, wabbly punts. The short kick will make the game more open than ever. When this style of kick is used in thn region of the 20 or 25-yard line when tno bail drops In the vicinity of the opponents' goal line, it requires a cool, heady player to han dle the punt, as a muff in many cases means a sure touchdown.
