Cal., Jan. .21. (Special.) Ten mfmberi of the Cardinal basketball 'quad are en route aboard the Shasta limited for Eugene, to play Oregon in a two-game series. From Kugene they go to play the Aggies at Corval Ii.i Friday and Saturday nights. The Stanford team is one of the lightest that has worn the red and white uniform. The forwards, Cap tain Ilavies and Nip McHose. who probably will start In the four game with the Oregon college, have been high-point scorers against the best teams 'n California. With Dick Rich mond, ex-Spokane high flash, and Bob Jansen. a San Francisco boy who captained the freshmen five last sea son. the Cardinal goal shooters will be hard to stop despite their light ness. The 1922 tennis season opened Sat urday with an exhibition match fea turing Willis Davis. Johnny Strachan. Robert and Howard Klnsey. Strachan and Davis defeated the Klnseys who were recently rated as the third doubles team In the United States by the National Uwn Tennis associa tion. , Some 800 persons attended the matches and were thrilled at the great smashing of Davis and Stra chan. The matches formally dedi cated Stanford's new varsity tennis court, recently completed. Plans for 20 additional courts are now in the making while a aeries of eight courts have Just been opened for use. Glenn Warner, the famous football coach of the University of Pittsburg, Is due to arrive on the Stanford campus early this week to consult wlth Dr. Williams, president of the board of athletic control, about ac cepting the position of football men tor at Stanford as soon as his con tract with the eastern university ex pires. Warner has been dickering with the board for several weeks and seems favorable to the offer from Stanford. Should he decide to remain awhile, he will be only temporarily at Stanford until a Contract holding him at Pittsburg terminates In 1924. Warner intends at least to put a tried lieutenant on the "Farm" to supervise and install the Warner system until the great-master of the game Is himself able to assume the reins. An attempt will be made by the board to have Warner conduot spring practices so as to give his personality to the preliminary work and get his system properly under way. .

Last season the Stanford fencers, won a first and second in two events and were awarded the Pacific coast championship in the Junior and ovlce classes. Other teams entered In the meet so far are the University et California. Olympic club, San Francisco gym club and several un attached teams. Willis. Wegner. Oard-. ner. Sanfretto. Hadley. Skelton and Klchardsen will compose the team. Rugby again came into prominence In the Cardinal stadium Thursday when the Red Shirts, who invaded Canada in the Christmas holidays, ap peared In a fast game against the team of the British cruiser Raleigh. The English sailors were masters of every department of the game and the local stars had their hands full. They won a scant victory. Coach Maloney and Captain Wallace had the Ruggers in perfect shape for the contest. ' Forty men- were selected last week on the Cardinal track squad by Coach Tonipleton, who has made the list a provisional one. It will be increased and altered until a total of 60 Is reached. Practically all last season's varsity track inea are listed among the number and the Stanford oval burners have prospects for a cham pionship team. February IS Is the date set for the annual dual wrestling meet with the Olympic club of San Francisco. The Cardinal matmen have been working several months and are in shape to give the clubmen a tussle for honors. With Johnnie Couch. San Francisco leaKue pitcher, and Zeb Terry, former Cardinal nine ciptatn. now playing With the Chicago Cubs, assisting to round the Stanford diamond artists Into shape, baseball Is In full swing. Prospects for a great team are bright. Coach Seahy has selected his squad, largely composed of tetter men. with the addition of freshman stars of last season. Draper, Clark and Xeff have been twirling like big leaguers In practice games so far. A trip to the orient will conclude the season's schedule. Final work as to the de tails of the oriental invasion are held by the Japanese colleges, but the necessary expenses have been met. Films Instruct Yale Crew.

But all the bantams In this country are complaining loudly because he didn't stay and give them a chance at the championship. Each and every one of 'em says Johnny could make more money here and each and every one hints darkly that tha champ is dodging him, and him only. But Johnny really doesn't look worried, does he? MISS BAUER DEVELOPS Ginii SWIMMER EXPECTED TO BREAK MORE RECORDS. Holder of 100-Yard Record Said to Have Only Begun to Show Her Capabilities. Little more than one year ago, when Miss Etbelda Blbtrey'of New York swam 100 yards with the back stroke in 1:17 3-6, the world marveled. It was almost an unbelievable per formance for a member of the sex. Some national authorities expressed the opinion that the time never would be. beaten by a woman. But thrico since then the mark has been broken and now a new champion claiming international leadership In this branch of natation Miss Sybil Bauer of the Illinois Athletic club of Chicago. A few competent Judges believe still that Miss Blelbtrey Is better than tha Windy city girt, yet actual re turns In competition point unmistak ably the other way. Last winter Miss Bauer, holder at present or ootn in door and outdoor national 100-yard back-stroke titles, was credited offi cially with doing the century In 1:1(1-5 In a pool. Last summer she covered the distance straight away, outdoors. In 1:15 and 1:1 respectively. The former mark is said to have been made under conditions which will prevent its recognition, but the latter is believed to comply fully with the International requirements, so GOLF IS AN AMUSING GAME, EVEN IF IT IS PLAYED ALONE Amateurs Prefer Match Play, While Proa Generally Confine Selves to Medal Golf, Says Jock Hutchison. BY'JOCK HUTCHISON. (American Winner of British Open Cham pionship). ' GOLF in off OLF Is afferent from most gsmes the variety of play that Is offered. A golfer can get amuse ment and satisfaction from the game even by playing alone. Ho can play in a match against a single opponent or take part In a foursome or fou btfll match. Match play Is one thing and medal play another, although both consist in driving the ball from the tee to the cup in the least possible number of shots. Amateurs prefer match play usually, while professionals generally confine themselves to medal gdlf. In the former, as every goiter knows, one peed not hole out, but can pick up at any time and concede the hole. In medal play every stroke must be counted and the game is not at an end until the last putt has been made Match play is less nerve-racking lor the average-golfer, as he can pick up on every hole If lie chooses, yet start at the next tee with renewed hope. There has always been more or less controversy as to which is the better test of the game. I think medal play harder than match and think most good players consider It so. In medal play the chief hazard One has to overcome Is the fact that a bad stroke is likely to ruin your whole round. There are few who can ut terly disregard a bad shot and take It as part of the game. One never can become a- truly great player until he can do this. Like Haad-to-Haad Battle. Match play Is more of a combat or hand-to-hand battle, although now that the stymie has been removed there is nothing that your opponent can do to Interfere with your game In the least. His personality Is about the only thing that has a bearing on the match and one, to be a. good player, must disregard any such In fluence. If your opponent be a bet ter player, tha thought that he will most likely brat you is bound to have some effect. The thought crops up whether he shows any mors skill or not. 'The golfer who -can go out and play bis game without the though that he is up against a stiff proposi tion, or. on the other, hand, a weaker opponent. Is the one most likely to win. Ons is likely to regard an op ponent too cheaply and often matches are lost in this way. four-ball matches have come to be recognised as an American Institu tion. We sever played them much in Scotland. The real secret of four- ball match play has never been dis covered. When two real stars sre pitted sgainst two ratner meaiocra . golfers and are defeated, it usually I causes a big surprise.

' Apart from her sensational back stroke speed. Miss Bauer is an all round, free-style, swimmer of excep tional skill, although In this kind of competition not the equal of fair Ethelda. However, Miss Bauer's youth and steady development afford assurance that she has only begun to show of what she Is capable. ARLETA PLAYS AMICUS CLUB Leaders of Junior Hoop League to .

The managers of the teams were not sat isfied, so have agreed to a return game. Arleta will be minus two of its players on account of thhlgh school ruling prohibiting school players from performing with outside teams, but has . several good men for the vacancies. f Hoop Ciiampg to Get Cup. SPOKANE. Wash.. Jan. 21. Cham pion and runner-up teams of the an nual Spokane Amateur Athletic club Inland Empire high school basket ball tournament meet at the club March 2, 3 and 4, will be awarded large silver trophy cups. George Var nell and Bill Mulligan will act as of ficial tournament referees. Arrange ments for the meet are practically complete. pens that one fairly good golfer with a weak partner beats two stars. My theory is this: Players fighting alone never are quite as good as when they havs a partner on -whom they can place great reliance. - On the other hand, two stars are likely to work poorly as a team. Their, good holes might coincids and likewise th bad ones. There was much' surprise when Duncan and Mitchell were beaten so often here by players that individually would not have much show against either of them. I lov" the excitement of 'single handed matches. I recall two I took part in that were hair-raisers and, strange to say. they both took place on the same course. This was at Siwanoy, Mount Vernon, N. . Y. I p'ayed Jim Barnes there in the final for the first P. O. A. championship Just before we. entered the war. Joea: Loses "on Pott. Jim beat me on the last bole. The match had been exciting all the way. Neither was able to get any lead on the morning round, so we started out in the afternoon bnt on annihilating each other. Both of us made shots that drew applause from the gallery time after time, but it was nothing to the excitement when-the last hole was played. We were all even, play in the 36th. Both of us reached the green with our brassie seconds, which is a' feat in Itself. The .hole is a par five, and a Jong par five at that, as it is close to 650 yards. Our approach putts would have left little to be desired under ordinary circumstances. Both balls were about four feet from the cup. The referee measured them and found mine an inch farther away than Jtm's. I missed the put and in doing so opened up the hole for Barnes, as he could have gone wide of the mark and hit my ball and caromed into the hole. I had no regrets, as the match was well played, I had beaten Wal ter Hagen In she semi-final and was at tha very top of my game. A year later In a Red Cross match In which we pros clayed with the am ateurs in team matches I won a bat tle on the very -same hole from Jerry Travers. I was a member of the Scotch team and had to meet Travers. wlto was No. 1 on his team. He had Just beaten Gil Nichols at Baltusrol and stood In a fair Way fo drop me aiso. i managea to pun tne matcn out of th fire and wo came to the home all even, just as Barnes and I had dona a yeaY before. 1 took a great chance with my brassie. bat reached the green safely and saw Jerry fall short. He was on in three for a sure five, but I laid my approach putt dead and got my "birdie" four. The next day Travers beat- Hare'n at Garden City and I consider mvself J lucky in beating him.

Babe' Asher, the American expedi tionary force bantam champion who will fight Danny Edwards at the Ar fnory Tuesday night, arrived here last night from Chicago with his mana ger. Johnny Sen Iff. Asher, says his manager, is In fine condition to bat tie, despite the fact that he will have only two days on the ground to train. "You see, Asher has fought nine big fights in the last three months, his last being Tuesday night," explained Schiff. - "Consequently, he Is trained down pretty well already. Then en route here by train we went into the baggage car and Babe and I- boxed several rounds every day. "Nobody need have any fear that Asher will fiot be fit to fight. He not only is feeling fine, but if Ed wards Is the type who stands up to an opponent, and from all I hear about him he is Just that. It will be a, won derful bout, because Asher is always boring in. He never stops a moment in a fight. He isn't the kind that knocks 'em cold with a punch, but he Just keeps hammering away at them an'd the amount of punishment they get weakens them so that finally he gets them." Asher, who was with the American Army, 5th division, and won a cita tion for gallantry in action, will work out at the Olympic gym at 3 o'clock this afternoon. BASEBALL STARS CALLED Stanford Will Try to Defeat Old Rival, California." STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal Jan. 21. Stanford is calling on its old baseball stars to come back to the campus this 'spring to help wh'p together a nine which will be able to defeat California, the Cardinal's ancient foe. Two former Stanford baseball stars, Johnny Couch, pitoher. and Zeb Terry, shortstop, already have promised to help with the team. Couch last season- was the star pitcher of the San Francisco club of the Pacific Coast league and Terry played with the Chicago Cubs. Nine veterans are on the aquad of 40 men which turned out for baseball on the call of Duffy Seay, head coach, recently.. In addit'on to the letter men there were many promising members of last year's freshmen squad. Practice has already started and will be held dally, weather permitting, until the season begins. Raan will not interfere with the training of the hurle-rs, for they will work out in the new basketball pavilion on stormy days. MISS M'ERESOR WINNER SECOXD JUNIOR PAPER CHASE GOES TO GIRL OX STAR.

TOTAL OF RIDERS fS 250 Hunt Club and Riding Academy Are Main Organizations Pro moting Horsemanship. BY R. V. HALLE. R. The year Just beginn'ng promises some notable developments In those lines of sport and recreation depend ing, on saddle and harness horses. Portland in the last year has seen a few important - stps taken in horse sports, but the increasing Interest shown by horse lovers has reached a stage where the next steps will take the sport out of the incidental fea ture class and place it among t'he im 'portant elements in the sport life of me community,, A generation 'ago the horse was a factor in both domestic and indus trial life. The coming of the auto mobile and the tractor has decreased his utility until he has been rele gated to two spheres uniquely his own and from which he wfil not be dislodged. The farmer will continue to use horses In spite of the Increased use of tractors, and horse lovers, a class larger than is ordinarily sup posed, and growing, will continue to use the horse as a means of recrea tion and sport. ' In three years the night horse show of the Pacific International Livestock show, under the able management of A. P. Fleming, has placed itself among the leading equestrian exhibi tions of the country, both in size and in quality, and there are abundant promises of even more improvement. A large portion of the success of the horse show is due to the support Portland horse people have given it, and also the local interest in sport horses is partly due to the success of the show. ) 100 Horses, 230 Riders. "There are at tne present time a few more than 100 saddle borses In Portland, and for these there are no less than 250 riders. Of the horses, about 65 are privately owned, mostly by members of the Portland Hunt club, and the rest are owned by H. M. Kerron, manager and proprietor of the Portland riding academy. The Hunt club and the riding academy are the two main elements responsible for interest in horses. Closely associated, thy form the nucleus of the sport in Portland. The former has a total membership of 300, of whom 175 are senior mem bers and the rest Juniors. The club owns about eight acres of ground near Garden Home, with a clubhouse, stables, show ring and paddock for exercising and Jumping. Throughout the year meets are beld regularly every week, alternating between paper chases and cross-country rides. These events bring fields of from 25 to 40 riders, fully half of whom are women. The riding academy is the school of horse eport. In its stables are quar tered about 75 of the saddle horses owned in Portland and In its tanbark ring are staged the schooling events which are taken part in by almost every rider In the city. Several nights a week special drill classes are field by the finished riders and In the after noons young society learns to ride. This latter class torrns a definite proof that Interest In horses is in creasing, for it shows how many peo ple want, their children to learn to ride. The Junior classes have grqwn ouring tne past year, as nas tne jun ior membership in the Hunt club, and at the horse show the showing of the oungsters, in straight riding drills and, in Jumping, gave rise 'to com ments of surprise at their superior horsemanship. - It Is expected that during this year Portland will possess a new and en tirely modern riding academy that will rank with the best in the coun try. The preliminary steps in the ac complishment of this project have al ready been taken. The new academy wyi be located at the outskirts of the city, convenient to the highly essen tial dirt roads. Its stables will be large enough to accommodate all of the privately owned horses in the city, and its tanbark ring will be suf ficiently spacious for polo games, for amateur horse shows snd for harness horse work. It will also be equipped with locker and dressing rooms. The old academy on Johnson street has outgrown Itself. The classes have become too large for the old ring, there are no accommodations for har ness equipment; and the city has grown up around It until good saddle paths cannot be reached without go ing over at least a mile of paved streets. In the new academy H. M. Kerron will continue his manage ment- Few Harness Hteeds. The saddle horse and hunter pre dominate in Portland. There are practically no harness horses to speak of. This is largely due to the lack of local facilities for keeping and exercising them, and also to the re stricted use for which they are avail able. The carriage horse is limited entirely to pleasure and show, but these two uses are sufficient to have caused several people to begin look ing around for good buys. So much for the horse itself, and now for a word about the equestrian- lam which the city may well boast, of . The writer has been either a visitor or a participant in a large number of shows from coast to coast, and it Is safe to say that no show in the coun try is made brighter by a, more uni formly excellent display of horseman ship.' Especially Is this true of the women who rode in the night horse show. In the smoothness, and sure ness of their performance and the firm bridle hands which they die- played, they excelled by a good mar gin the skill of the eastern show women. . This excellence might serve for the theme of a separate story. The rea son for It may be any one of several. There Is a vast difference between what is commonly known as western or rough rldin? and school and show I riding. Each calls for skill, but of'a different sort. The western horse is a proposition much more difficult as far as stralcht riding is concerned. and it Is probable that the confidence born of handling him and coping with his eccentricities has been handed down to the present riders. The rid ing of the east and the west, with the exceptions of the various wild-west meets, has become the same In form and style, but the west seems to have taken the methods of the east and beaten the east In both accomplish ment and ability. . , O'Day Not to Quit.

HIKING FIVE HillNS II OREGON VNIVEftSITY BEATEN BY 4 0-TO-26 SCORE. Visitors Have Everything Their Own AVay in First Period. Checking Is Close. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Oi., Jan. .21.- (Special.) In a much more closely contested game than the first of the series, the Vikings were again victors over the university of Oregon team by a score of 40 to. 26, tonight. The visitors had everything their own way in the first period, an nexing a total of 19 points while the varsity was only able to make 5. A feature of the Initial period was the close checking by the Vikings. Oregon was able to break through their strong defense only a few times in that period, and all of the points scored by Coach Bottler's five weie made on long shots. Coach Bohler replaced his entire team, with the ex ception of Zimmerman, after the first ten minutes of the initial. half, in an effort to break vdown the defense of thj Vikings. In the second half the. varsity waa more successful and came back with a strong, aggressive attack that all but swept the Vikings off their feet. Coach Kdmundson sent in his string of fresh substitutes, however, and msnaged to stop the varsity's rally. Slelke, the lanky center of the northerners, was high-point man for his team with five field goals. Rock-' hey played a brilliant fame for the varsity and annexed ten, points. Goar played an exceptionally goo4 game at guard for the varsity and made three field goals. The varsity succeeded in breaking up the Washington passes much more frequently in the second game than they were able to do in the first of the series, which was played last night. Both teams played ragged ball at .times and the game was not as fast as ths first. Score: Oregon. . Washington. Andre, 2 ST... S. Lewis Kimmerman F 8, Nicholson M.

Just before tfTe close of the first half a local player who had been cau tioned about trying long shots after several transgressions of a similar nature against Columbia last fort night, tried and perfected the pretti est sort of a field goal from the mid court mark. Before the crowd was fully aware v.4at had happened and while the cheer leaders were getting ready to celebrate the feat Thorp had yanked the successful culprit out of action and was giving him a short but effective lecture on the advan tages of team work and' respect for d4scipline.

CAREER IS VARIED ONE Malcolm MatLran. However, Thinks That Juck Kcarns I)e (Serves Tie With Hogun. ' 1Y MALCOLM MacLEAN. CHICAGO. Jan. 21. (Special.) Who is the most romantic figure In the world of sports the past ten years? The lale Hap llogan. who managed the Vernon (Cal.) Tigers for some years, came mighty close to the distinction. His was a vailed life enlnor league ball manager, Sal vation Army member and sign painter. A few evenings ago, while glanc ing through the old scraphooks, I came across a postcard received years ago from the coast. On ona side were the words, "I'll see you soon." and on the other, in colors, a figure of a boxer and another of Jack Kearns. holding a globe in his hand. These words were printed on the card: "Handsome Jack Kearns, sportsman, promoter, manager of boxerji. and his latest protege. Fighting Billy Murray, middleweight champion of California." "Jack Kearns, the man who brought out Abe Attell. Harry Forbes, Honey Melody and Fighting Dick Hyland. former auto driver, cow puncher and waiter in a restaurant. Let's call It a tie between tha two men. e The recent brilliant success of col lege football throughout the land brings up the fact that sport Is of comparative recent origin in our in stitutions of learning. At Minnesota the first football was brought by Alf F. I'llisbury, in later years secretary and treasurer of the I'illsbury. Flour Mills com pany. He owntl the treasured ob ject, and lent it for all the games played at the Gopher campus that season. Minnesota laid Its fitst football field Jn 1SS8 and the university gen erously appropriated the magnificent sum of $75 for the purpose. There was.no question in those days about professionalism. The players helped put the field in shape, bought their own uniforms, paid their own -traveling expenses and chipped In for the football Itself. The Gophers wanted to meet the University of Michigan eleven the season of 1889, and the game was nearly scheduled when the Wolver ines demanded a guarantee of $200. It was considered too stiff, and ths arrangements fell through. Bill Brennan, now of the Southern league staff, was umpiring in the western league years ago, and hap pened to be in Pueblo, Colo., where Denver was staging a morning and afternoon battle. Pueblo and Den ver were great rjvals then, and In terest was high. Brennan called a Pueblo man out for cutting third base in the morn ing game. He hadsthe same kind of a situation In the afternoon affair, and again the Pueblo runner was de clared out. Loud mutterlngs came from ths Stands, itrennan got by all right in the morning but another of the same sort was more than the enraged populace could stand for. The mut teringej rose to a loud chorus of Jeersi. T:ic moment the game was oyer the police rushed to Hill's aid, as did also Jim Flynn. the Pueblo fireman, one-time cliui'.enger for the world's heavyweight title, who happened to be on lirennan's side, seeing noth ing wrong with the decisions. In 'due time Hrennaii, the police, Flynn and the mob reached tha rooming house where Will put up. The .umpire went insiilo, ami th police and Flynn departed. The mob stuck. Minutes passed into hours. A few of the gang left, but the main body remained. Towards late evening Brennan grew hungry. The pangs forced him to action, and he hired the colored porter of the house to venture forth to a nearby restaurant to bring back an armful of cooked food. "I'll never forget what 1 ordered." laughs Brennan. " a bowl of soup, a salad, some pork chops, soft boiled eggs, a pece of lemon pie and a pot uf coifee. Berieve me, 1 was hungry. I glanced under the drawn curtain in my room and saw the porter get through the crowd all right. "It stemed like hours before he re appeared, carrying a loaded tray In his hand. The mob was suspicious, and stopped him. I could hear what was said, plainly. "'Here, where'ye colng? Who's that for?' demanded one uf the tough ones. " r.' f. rt a. nmnlr, 1 atlittererl III, porter. , "Banff. The fellow look a swift kick at the tray, and the precious pork chops, soft boiled eggs. etc. splashed on the ground and on the porter's clothes. "I went hungry until the next day." .
