Definite announcement that the high school basketball season opens next Friday night and that it "will Initiate a season of brilliant hue was made last night, by Manager Bobnenkamp. who, by the way, was assigned ,the managerial relna during the week. Be. ginning with Imbler's school team on Friday night the schedule this year trill give the fans a line repertoire of the indoor game. No other games have . been definitely fixed but that Columbia college, Milton, will come with its whirlwind quintet is now very prob able. Baker will probably be brought here, Cove, Union, North Powder be ing other teams from whom a few ' games will likely be selected. A tour of Wallowa county is now be ing negotiated for the holidays -that basketball may not interfere with aca demic work. It is yet too early for prognostica tions but suffice it to say there are three In the squad who brush cob webs with the forelocks six feet from the floor, and about 10 others of less Spartanlc stature but speed. and fleet ness that will count. Captain Ralston and Manager Bohn enkamp wouldn't drop dead with sur prise if at the end of the year, the lo cal institution has a clear record. Last night the city team had its 'workout, the first of Its kind this year and the regulars ran up a good score with admiring eyes from the balcony to cheer them on.

C. to Fill Angell's Long Vacant Place. . Corvallls, Ore., Dec. 8. Dr. E. J t Stewart, director, of athletics at 'Al legheny college, Meadville, Pa., has Just been called to the Oregon agri culture college to fill the chair of phy slca educu'iou as professor and direc tor of athetics, vaant since the resig nation of Prof. E. D. Angell In July, ' J91.0. , In the three years he has been at Allegheny, Dr. Stewart has produced championship football, baseball, bas ketball and track teams. In 1908 he was coach of the Purdue basketball team when they won second place in the western conference league. Hitherto Coach Sam Dolan of the football team and Instructor J. Q. Abuthnot of the physical training de s partment have carried on the work between them, but pressure of duties has handicapped them, Mr. Dolan be ing a member also of the civil engi neering faculty. Over 500 men are tak ing instruction In indoor gymnastics under Dr. Abuthnot at present. ,Dr Stewart, In order to know accurately the physical condition of every man Ir. college, will inaugurate a system of tests used In all eastern universities v In determining the ability of candt - dates for varoua sports. It Is expected ' that new Interest will be awakened in cross country running, track work, and Blmllar exercises through the in creased opportunity for special train ing for a larger number of men.' Dr. Stewart was a student at Selo college, and afterwards received his v medical degree at Western Reserve university. While -in Cleveland he was twice captain of the baseball team and basketball five, and was for three years on the track and football teams, He also played one year on the Ml.

He has also played 'professional baseball In the Ohio and Pennsylvania league as well as professional basketball. Thomas 3. Lynch will not be presi dent of the National league following the annual meeting of the league di rectors the second Monday of De cember. Five of the league presidents hare agreed to oppose him. These five are Murphy of Chicago. Herrmann of Cincinnati, Ebbets of Brooklyn, Btinlnger of St Louis and Dreyfuss of Pittsburg. By some means, which Is not made clear, neither Fogel of Philadelphia cor Russell of Boston la expected to have a vote at the annual meeting, and Brush of New York. Is expected to support Lynch for another term unless be sees a great light In the meantime. "The passing of Lynch" was planned at Chicago when the board of directors met to pass upon the Lynch ruling In the case of Sherwood Magee, the PhilUe outfielder, who bad been sus pended for striking Umpire Finneran. At that time several of the directors got together and decided Lynch was not the man for the Job. Lynch beard of It and became stubborn. He re fused absolutely to change his ruling in the Magee case-that is, be did at first, and then be began angling for votes which would re-elect him presi dent of the league. -. While be was given no promise of support, at least two of the magnates intimated that they might support him at the annual election, but be would have to go along with them and rein- very magnates were planning to make another man president Therefore Mr. Lynch is due for a fine young double crossing. The five young magnates who propose to run the league are di vided as to whom they want to suc ceed Lynch. Dreyfuss and Herrmann, It is un derstood, are favorable to John A. Heydler, secretary and formerly presi dent of the league. The race appears to be between Heydler and Francis Rlchter of Sporting Life. The posi tion baa been tendered to Rlchter in the past, but he has refused to ac cept it, declaring that it would require all his time and be could not neglect his business. . . ( ' In connection with the next league meeting It u rumored that Barney Dreyfuss of Pittsburg will lead the fight to prevent Fogel ,of Philadelphia and Russell of Boston from voting. It is understood now that should these men become insistent in their desire to vote Dreyfuss will expose the whole structure of "syndicate baseball" and will endeavor to prove not only to the directors, but to the public, at large. that not only does the Chicago club own the Phillies, but. the New York National league club controls Presi dent Russell aud the Boston Nationals. 0.
