Francis, the clever -little end of Al bany College, Is a football player of the first order, and critics are enthusiastic over his splendid style of defense. His work has Justly earned him a position on the All-Oregon team, the other place going to Dave Jordan, of the State Uni versity. Chandler, of Oregon, is Jordan's equal in many -ways, but the, latter's fierce tackling, his age and experience, would give him the preference over his running mate. Team a Strong: One. The team thus selected is a most for midable one, and would make things highly' interesting for Multnomah, Stan ford or even "Wild Bill" Allen's team of All-Northwest players, could games be arranged. The selections have been based solely upon what the players did in the intercollegiate games, It being manifestly unfair tocount the poor show ing maae Dy uregon against aiuunoinaii on Thanksgiving day. 'Oregon's was tho only colletre eleven of the state that tackled Multnomah, so the playing of the 'varsity boys on Thanksgiving day can not be taken into consideration In the se lection of the All-Oregon collegiate team. "Were the selections open to all teams of the state, instead of to the regular colleges alone, McMillen, Cook, Stott and Pratt, of Multnomah, with Fisher and Ziegler, of the Oregon Medics, would no doubt find places in the line-up. The Northwest Intercollegiate Athletic Association, the formation of which was urged in these columns more than a year ago, has become an assured fact, and after January 1, 1903, the leading institu tions of higher education in the Pacific Northwest will be governed by Its con stitution and by-laws. The association ia an independent organization, and has no connection whatever with the Amateur Athletic Association of the United States or the Pacific Athletic Association. The membership roll of the new league in cludes the University of Montana, Uni versity of Idaho, University of Washing ton, University of Oregon, Pacific Uni versity, Whitman College, Montana Agri cultural College, Washington Agricultural College and Oregon Agricultural College. The management of the association is vested in a governing board, consisting of one member from each Institution. Reg ular meetings of the board will be held in June and December of each year. The rules of student eligibility, adopted by the association, are as follows: Section 1 Xo one shall participate In any col k plate content unless he be a bona flde student, carrying work equivalent to 12 cred its or recitation hours In a regular or special course tea defined by the curriculum of his col lege. Sec. 2 No student ehall be allowed to par ticipate In any intercollegiate contest who has failed to pass any regular college work as signed to him, until such work has been made up. x Sec. 3 No person having been a member of a college athletic team and having been m attendance less than half of the college year,. shall be permitted to play In any intercolle giate contest thereafter until he shall have been In attendance one-half a college year. Sec. 4 No student who has represented one Institution In any Intercollegiate contest shall be allowed to represent another Institution during the following year. Sec 5 No student reglsterelng after the 15th of October shall be eligible to play In any Intercollegiate football game. Sec. 6 No student registering after the 15th of February shall take part In any Inter collegiate contest held during the remainder of that college year. The by-laws of the association also provide for strict enforcement of the rules of amateurism and provide for the adop tion of a "four-yeaif-rule" after Septem- uci x, nn. hi uii&t: ui. protest mc presi-dent- of the association appoints adleln. terested person to act as an arbitrator. The expenses of the arbitrator shall be borne by the institution filing the jrb. test, and there shall be no appeal. All evidence supporting a protest must be piacea in tne hands or the chairman, of the faculty athletic committee of the'in stitution containing the protested man at least iour weens Deiore tne scneauled date for a game or contest. The protested man shall be given every reasonable chance to defend- himself. Tho association re tains tne right to restore the amateur standing of those who have violated the letter but not the spirit of the laws of amateurism. une new association will prove a great benefit to-college athletics throughout the west Intercollegiate Association were ratified by the student body of the University of "Washington In-an open meeting' yesterday af ternoon In Denny Hall. The 'constitution, was recently drawn up at a meeting of college presidents held at Spokane. Copies of the constitution were presented to the state unlver- sitles of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Mon tana, as well as the agricultural Institutions of the same states, and "Whitman and Pacific Universities. Tho constitution goss Into effect January 1. 1903, providing five other colleges .shall fall In line with the local institution and rat ify the pending rules. Washington, made, four changes In the by laws. In the. first place they thought the In stitutions should be left free to arrange sched 'ules as they saw fit. This move was decided upon in View of the fact that It Is only a question of time when the University of. "Washington will bo holding annual contests with the California universities. Again, that section saying a student who has represented one institution in an intercollegiate contest shall not be allowed to represent another, was stricken out, as many are apt to leave the smaller colleges and enter ,the state "U," whereas It Is not probable that one would leave the larger schools for the smaller ones. Under that ruling Max Wells would net have been allowed to play with the U. of W. this year. The other two sections objected to by local students were those refusing to allow stu dents to compete in athletics who registered after October 15 or February 15. This would clearly be an Injustice to U. of W., as her terms open much later than those of other Northwest Institutions. It is really a shame that the 'constitu- TO HAVE ONE TEAM Marshall Says New League Will jWe Opposition. GOOD LOT OF PLAYERS SIGNED J The selection of an all-star team from the colleges of Oregon for the season of 1902 is indeed a most difficult task. Never before have the different teams of the state been so evenly matched, and never before has a season produced so many yurprlses In the way of individual pliy ers. With Albany, Oregon and the Agri cultural College tied for championship honors, the process of selection becomes an Intricate one, but after careful con slderatlon of the merits and demerits of each player and prolonged consultation with many side-line experts, the above eleven has been chosen. The Back Field. Bert Pllklngton, of the Oregon Agrlcul tural College, is far and away the best candidate for the position of fullback. Pllklngton played for several seasons on the eleven - of McMlnnvllle College, arid at the beginning of the present college year entered the State School at Corval 11s. He Is a big fellow, strong, and active as a cat, and always combines splendid head work with his playing. His work in the Corvallis-Eugene game of this year- was an exhibition in Itself, and every con test. of the .season showed practically the same result, Morrison, of Albany, de serves consideration as a first-class punt er, while Hale, of Oregon, and Pollard, of Willamette, proved themselves ground gainers of no mean ability. The work of Payne, Oregon's veteran fullback, was somewhat of a disappointment this sea son, although he made a .nunjber of pret- J ty runs and 'returned some difficult punts j in the game at Corvallis on November 8. Pllklngton, however. Is In a class by him self, so far as Oregon fullbacks are con cerned, his only superior in the North west existing in the person of "Hez" Brown, the stalwart Whitman player. For the position of quarterback, Sny der, of Albany, is entitled to first consid eration, none of his rivals having shown any particular aptitude for the game. Laugblln, of the Agricultural College, is far too slow for the All-Oregon eleven; while Murphy, of Oregon, cannot be chosen, on account of the poor quality of his defense. There are no end of candidates for the halfback positions, and right here the weeding-out process becomes very diffi cult. Coats, of Albany, played brilliant ly when his team was participating in easy games, but when Albany and Eugene played their memorable scoreless contest on November 15, he failed to make any kind of an Impression on the Eugene line, nor could he make yardage around the ends. The same criticism may be made of Williams, the speedy halfback of the Agricultural College. Joe Templeton, of Oregon, is unquestionably the best-college halback In the Northwest todayt and in the opinion of Coach M. F. Dolph he is a "regular whirlwind." Templeton plays equally well on offensive and defensive. Is a good punter and exceptionally fast on Interference. Without hesitation he should be given a place ori"-any all-star team that Oregon or the Pacific North west might turn out, Goodrich, of Ore gon, is a first-class man with the ball, and in some respects is superjor to Tem pleton, but his defense is weak, and for this reason he must give way to Root, of the Agricultural College. Root plays the game for all he is -;rth, although com paratively Inexperienced. He does not pos sess the ground-gaining ability of Good rich, but is better on Interference and tackling. His work in the Corvallis- Washlngton game was of a very high or der, and when the "farmers" found their chance to carry the pigskin over the Seattle goal line. Root did the stunt in very creditable manner, after a series of pretty end runs and tandem plays. Nash, of the Agricultural College, was out of the game during a greater part of the season, so no just criticism of his work can be made. Barnett, of Pacific Univer sity. deserves special mention, for he played a consistent game throughout the season, although the disadvantages under which he played were many. In the Line. The choice of a center Is hard to deter mine, as Burnaugh, of Corvallis, and Mc Kinney, of Oregon, are almost evenly matched.. Burnaugh, while 10 pounds lighter than McKinneyTls given the place, although the big Oregon freshman Is one of the most promising, men in the North west Burnaugh Is more active than Mc KInney, has played the game longer, and for these reasons he Is selected. As to the possibilities of the two men, it is quite evident that McKInney Is the more promising. Kerron and Jarvls are given the guard positions without hesitation, their near est rival being Frizzell, of Oregon, who showed up like a veteran in the final games. Kerron is the best guard that Eugene has turned out since the palmy days of Shattuck and Edmunson, while Jarvls rivals the 'varsity lad In all de partments of the game. Thayer and Watts, the Oregon tackles, played all around their opponents In the game at Corvallis on November '8, and again at Albany on November 15, when the con testing elevens of Eugene and Albany were at their best. F. Templeton and Griffith are both good players, but the Oregon tackles outclassed them' from start to finish, and for this reason are given the preference. Thayer's work In the Whitman-Oregon game "was of a very high order, and Watts has gone through the season with- a record that any player should be proud of. Not until the Thanks giving game with Multnomah did. Watts meet his equal, and then only in the veteran Pratt, who outweighed him 30 pounds. Watts is entitled to the cap taincy of an All-Oregon eleven, he being the only captain selected for the regular line-up, and the only one re-elected for next season. Bundy, .of the Agricultural northwest, and the process of "graftlnc" and "ringing" will no doubt become. 'a tning or tne past. Tne rules are whole some and are not rigid enough to work a hardship on any one colleze" or irroun oi colleges. The collece athletes nf the Northwest have made ranld strides during recent years. and their -records compare very favorably with thoseiof Eastern teams. If the Northwest Intercollegiate Athletic Asso ciation holds Itself above petty jealousies and factional disputes it will accomplish a great amount of good.

So far as Wash ington's desire to hold contests with the California universities Is concerned, it Is a laudable ambition, indeed, but for the present Washington will have her hands full in wresting victory from her sister Institutions of the Northwest and in "dic tating" athletic policies to them. Coach Fred D. Herbold, of the Oregon Agricul tural College, struck the keynote of Washington athletic policy when he said that Washington could lose every game of the season and then figure out a cham pionship title. MILLER TO COACH. AFTER MULTX03IAH'S SCALP. atnrii of University of Oregon to Strengthen the 'Varsity. The Christmas day football game be tween Multnomah and the University of Oregon promises to be the best exhibition or tne year, and side-line cranks at$ anx lously awaiting the sound .of the referee' whistle. The Christmas vacation at the university begins next Friday, and on the iouowjng day some eight or nine of Ore gon's best men will assemble in this cltv. where they will be reinforced by alumni ana prominent players of the University of Oregon Medical School. The team will practice dally, and will be in the best of .condition to meet Multnomah. Oregon's present center trio Kerron, Frizzell and McKInney will be found in the Christmas day line-up, although Mc KInney may- alternate with "Big" Wag ner, 1901. at center. Thayer will fill his customary !lace at right tackle, and D. C. Jakway, 1901, will occupy his old po sition of left tackle. Alongside of Jak way will appear F. J. Ziegler, 1902. the best end rush that the Pacific Northwest ever turned out. People who are famil iar with the playing of Jakway and Zieg ler know that they will present an almost invulnerable left wing, and that both are reliable ground-gainers. Captain Homer Watts will be shifted from tackle to end or halfback, while Charles Templeton. wm play fullback. Goodrich, J. Tem pleton, and possibly Fisher, of the Med ical School, will alternate at the halfback positions, while Scott, 190L or Bradley, 1S99, will do the quarterback stunt Jor dan, Payne and others of thepresent team will no doubt be given a cnance to play, and there is a possibility of several addi tional alumni stars being In the fray. All in all, the Oregon eleven ought to be a strong one, as the candidates are all expert players and will need but a few practices to protect their team work. Although the regular Oregon eleven was defeated. 16 to 0. by Multnomah on Thanksgiving day, the clubmen will find that the old-time stars of the alumni will not only strengthen the 'Varsity team but will instill a spirit of confidence into the younger collegians. The clubmen real Ize that they are up against a mighty hard proposition, and are practicing' faith fully. Local enthusiasts predict a great game between Oregon and Multnomah, and football Is the main, topic of conversa. tion in club circles just at present. Mult jiomah's eleven will line up in the same manner as on Thanksgiving 'day. The University of Washington evidently does not wish to join hands with her sis ter Institutions of the Pacific Northwest in raising- the standard of intercollegiate athletics, for the Evergreen' 'Varsity will not adopt the rules of the Northwest In tercolleglate Athletic Association unless several changes are made.t The' following clipping from a Seattle paper shows the attitude of Washington, the alleged "dic tator" of Northwest athletics: The constitution and by-laws cf thayNorth do not intend to go back on them. I am waiting to hear from the board, and un til it holds a regular or a special meeting, I will have nothing to say. Meantime, am signing players for the Portland club of the Pacific Northwest League- Today President Lucas, of the Pacific Northwest League, will be In the city, and he will probably tell something about his side of the question. In an Interview in a Seattle paper he says: "I have not been advised officially that there is any dissatisfaction in Portland but I have no doubt that it Is true. I will investigate the matter personally, and then I wjll know how to act. I shall give Portland men the first chance to back a team In that city. I have no doubt that I will be able to find several men with money who will take a franchise there but If J do not, Portland will be represent ed by a good team in the Pacific North west League, Just the same.

All of last year's players are in , league; they cannot flirt with an outlaw position to affirm or deny the rumor. nevertheless we believe. Mr. Grim Is just about the person Tacoma Is looking, tor. With an even break two years ago, he landed Portland first under the wire, and he finished last with Spokane last year, through no fault of his. He had three or four playera on the team who would lose the easiest pennant that ever floated for the best manager ln-the world. If Jack Grim goes to Tacoma, then watch out, that's all. Jack Hickey, the Seattle southpaw, is a- much-talked-of, much-sought-after and much-signed man.- A short time ago Hickey made the statement that he had signed with Cleveland, of the American League, and that he had accepted ad- ! vance money from them. Then along j came President Lucas with the remark that to his personal knowledge Hickey had accepted the terms of Philadelphia, of the National League, and now Dugdale states, with a great deal of emphasis, that Hickey not only accepted his terms, but that he had signed a contract that calls .for his services in Seattle during the season of 1903. The contract was signed Saturday. v WALCOTT FIGHTS SHY. Colored Fighter Not Eager for a Go "With Trncey.

From this coun try Creedon went to England, where he did . not find his match. Returning, he boxed in different cities, and then went back to his native country to win a cham pionship. MANAGERS ARB CHOSE?. Associated Student of University of Washington Hold Convcntlcyi. SEATTLE. Dec. 14. (Special.) At the annual convention of the Associated Stud? ents of the University of Washington, held on last Thursday for the purpose or mat ing nominations for the managership or the different branches of athletics, the fol lowing were the nominees: For football, W. T. Lauber'for track athletics, Donaia McDonald and Alfred Strauss; for base ball G. H. J. Corbett. and for rowing, VV T. Burwell. The meeting was carried oft with little excitement, as it was very ap parent that inmost cases everything had been decided before the convention. Up until the first, of the week it was thought that Carl D. Eahelman. manager of tnis year's football team, would again De choeen for that position. A. rew aays De- fore the session, however, Mr. Laube, at the unanimous request of the football team, became a candidate. Shortly, after wards, Mr. Eshelman declined to allow his name to come before the convention..

WashinEton expects to meet the great universities of California during the coming season. The contest between Mr. Donald and Mr. Strauss will undoubtedly be a close and haTd fight, as the possl billties for a winning team on the track were never stronger. Chesnut and nun toon both graduated last June, but their loss has been more than repaid by the addition of many freshmen who enter college with glowing reputations. Pro fessor Vander Vre also has a sauad of over 150 men out of which he hopes to develop a number of new wonders. Mr. G. H. J.

Times and PoHt-Intellljcencer Much. Wrought Up Abo-it Imaginary Ills. In an article blustering with billings gate and' wealthy In adjectives, the Se attle Times comes to the front with a little talk on the basket-ball champion ship, roundly calling The Oregonlan to task because It 'printed the truth about the situation. The Times quotes a long article from The Oregonlan and proceeds to tear it to pieces, while In fact the ar ticle never appeared In these columns, as the sjportlng editor of the Times could easily have found, if he had cared to do so. Where the article came from we do not know, but It Is possible that it originated In the fertile Imagination of the Times man, along with the rest of the al leged facts thathe pute In type. The Se attle man also tries to cast a slur on the personnel of this paper, which a as near true as he is to being correct In his story. If he will hunt through the files of The Oregonlan and see what we did say he will be better off, and will also learn that Portland never claimed the championship at all, but simply entered a protest against the Seattle team for set ting up Its little claim without right or reason. Not content with misquoting The Ore gonlan and casting slurs, the Seattle pa. per also rehashes some scores and serves them up to its readers with the tip that they are correct, .when they are not. The Post-Intelligencer also bobs up with a vituperative screed, a bad second In the great mud-slinging contest? -The follow ing is a. sample: "The efforts of The Oregonlan to place Seattle in the light of being a whining loser would lie disgusting, were they, not ridiculous. Even the moss which casts a green hue over the sporting page of the ancient old Oregonlan cannot hide the snarl. Of course, it Is to be regretted that Portland Is fast going to the dogs; it is a pitiful spectacle in the hour of progress and expansion, but it must be so when the, spirit of fairness is a dead letter.
