ANOTHER SEASON CENSUS TO BE PASSED UP Huge! ale and Portland Magnate Con . fer Over Fran Said to Be Agree able to All Concerned. Eight-Club Promising. At the conference between Congress man McCredie and D. K. Dugdale yes terday, "Dug" assured the Portland baseball magnate that Portland will be represented in the Northwestern League for at least another season. The proposed plan whereby the ad mission of the Northwestern League Into Portland would be agreeable to the California magnates, as conveyed to McCredie by Dugdalc, Is that Mc Credie submit a formal application to the Pacific Coast League for permis sion to play a Northwestern team here. After thorough discussion. Congress man McCredie agreed to apply to the Californians for such a privilege on the terms mentioned. These terms em body a stipulation that Portland and the Northwestern League would not in clude the census of Portland in the prospective application of Portland for a higher classification at the hands of the National Association of Profes sional Baseball Leagues next year. Prompt Rehearing Sought. This was readily acceptable to Mc Credie, and as-Dugdale assented, it was decided to send the petition to Judge Graham, the new president of the league, and request a rehearing of the subject Immediately. That consid eration would be prompt was assured Uugdale by Frank M. Ish and Ed. "Walters last week. As Happy Hogan and Henry Berry voted favorably on the proposition at the league meeting, it seems assured that Portland will bo recognized as desired. Congressman McCredie, who departs for Washington this morning, an nounced that he would submit the ap plication immediately. He is confident, Insofar as the Northwestern League will have but eight weeks of baseball In Portland, that the California mag nates will follow the policy they out lined to Manager Dugdale. South Magnates Consent. "It develops that the San Francisco and Oakland magnates are willing to give us what we want since it Is agree able that Portland will not be included in the population of the Northwestern ter ritory," said Judge McCredie last night. "That has been my view of the case all the time. , We have decided to waive claim to Portland on behalf of me Northwestern League, and to commence negotiations with the California mag nates at the earliest possible moment for the formation of an eight-club lea gue with four teams in the North and four in the South. That idea seems to appeal more strongly than eve to the magnates of the Pacific Coast League. "Manager Dugdale brought 'me word from Frank Ish,- Ed. Walters and Judge Graham that they were ready and will ing to grant Portland the privilege de sired the moment we assented to their proposition about the territory. This assurance will be given them imme diately, and I shall submit a formal ap plication for permission to play a Northwestern team here. This follows as the most logical solution of the sit uation, for an outlaw league would prove a costly fight to both siSes. I believe the present agreecent. if con summated, will result in the ideal eight-club league for the seaso.i of "Wefe It not so late now. It might have been possible to arrange for r.n eight-club league for next season. That is impossible at this stage of the season, so we can sincerely hope for the perfection of the grandest leagua the Coast ever saw in another year. We are closer together than ever be fore, and Dugdale's visit to California has helped to cement relations to a marked degree. I am compelled to leave for Washington tomorrow, tut will submit the formal applicatior. be . fore I go." Before departing for Seattle at 3 ' o'clock yesterday afternoon, Dugdale said: "The word I brought from the Pacific Coast League magnates at San Fran cisco is just as Judge McCredie says. They are anxious to please Portland, and . believing the fans want the two clubs in this city. Judge Graham, Mr. Ish and Mr. Walters have agreed to vote for the privilege providing we waive our right to Portland in re classification of leagues after the next census. Second Club Assured. "This was thoroughly discussed by Judge McCredie and myself, and after we had agreed on several things, we decided to accept the alternative. Judge McCredie will apply formally for the privilege of playing a North western team in Portland on the con ditions stipulated, and I believe we will be granted the privilege. As far as the Class A rating for the Northwest ern League is concerned, that could not be consummated until after next sea son anyhow. By that time, we have hopes of growing to a big eight-club league, which organization came, with in an ace of being consummated two years ago." Dugdale seemed sanguine over the outcome of the baseball squabble. In fact he was so pleased over the pros pect that he announced that he would be In Portland shortly after April or May with his champions, and hoped to meet Portland's fans on the Vaughn street lot as of old. Y. M. O. A. PICKS MEN FOR MEET Six Selected to Enter Indoor Track and Field Contest at Tacoma.

WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE, Pullman. Wash., Nov. 30. American in tercollegiate football has an ardent sup porter in President E. A. Bryan, of the Washington State College, in spite of the number of fatalities that have occurred on the Eastern college gridiron this Fall. It is his opinion that the focusing of pub lic opinion on accidents has made them seem more frequent than they really are in comparison to other sports and. the number of players involved all over the country. President Bryan says: "I am still a believer in the value of tliis game in the American college and university and regard It as more desir able than the Rugby game, all things con sidered. In 16 years of experience here there has not only been not one single fa tality, but no very permanent injury physically. I do not think that the game or sport is necessarily objectionable be cause it involves some risk, and that occasional injuries, or even fatalities oc cur. The public mind through the deep Interest in football is focused too strongly upon the occasional accident. "A comparison of the accidents in auto mobiling or in many other sports with football would 3how a more serious his tory of fatalitins and yet -scarcely a word of criticism is directed toward these. The American football is in many respects from an intellectual point of view the grreatest of American games, although that portion of the public that does not take the trouble to understand the prin ciples of the game often can see nothing In it but a clash of brute force. For the present at least I see no good rea son for substituting the Rugby game for the present "one." IlOLLADAY WINS FIRST GAME Eliot School Team Taken Into Camp by 2 0-to-5 Score. In the first of a series of three post season games between Holladay School and Eliot School football teams, cham pions, respectively, of the lightweight and middle-weight divisions of the 1909 grammar school league, Holladay won yesterday afternoon at East Thirteenth and East Davis streets by the score of 20 to 5. The game was won on line bucks and end runs. Eliot's only score was made in the second half on a touchdown by Steurhoff and the score at the end of the half was 10 to 5. The game had a number of spectacu lar features, pulled off mostly by the Holladay team and Eddie McAllen, their nifty fullback, was always on hand to assist In the fancy stunts. In the second half McAllen scored a touchdown when he caught a ktckoft and raced the length of the field in a sensational manner. Burke. Eliot's center, played a bril liant game at all times, and Killduff, McKenna and Benson were other bright lights for Eliot. The Holladay ends. Murphy and Williams, were all to the good in the tackling department, and the Hall brothers and Blain Gordon played in their usual consistent man ner. Tin line-up was: Holladay. Position. ' TCliot.

'Kid" Bennett Goes Pown Before Young Evans. By w. J. PETRAIN. Any time the Rose City Athletic Club stages, a return exhibition between Jockey Bennett and Freddie Couture, the promoters can rest assured of lib- asts. These two lads easily carried off the honors in their portion of last night's rattling boxing staged at the Exposition Rink. ' In fact, all three bouts were inter esting, though the Bennett-Couture was the best of all. It was with keen re gret that the big crowd resigned itself to seeing only 10 rounds of this ex hibition. To Bennett and Couture go the big portion of the honors of the evening. The preliminary bout betfween "Kid" P-ennett and Young Kvans was an ap petizer, and while it lasted only one of the scheduled four rounds. It was good even for that short space, when "Kid" Bennett (not Jockey Bennett) succumbed, to a left-hook at the-hand of Evans, and while the gong ' saved him from being counted out, Referee Jack Grant decided that it was suffi cient and ended the bout. Crowd Is Pleased. Then came the "rattler."' Freddie Couture, the youngster who won the amateur bantam championship of the Pacific Coast In a Portland competi tion, was Introduced with Jockey Ben nett, and the big crowd present unani mously expressed it the best match seen here in a long time. Bennett, the veteran, and Couture, --- rapidly-rising youngster, were in every way fitted to extend themselves and display fine points of the game. Both possessed good punches, and Bennett, probably because of his experience, dis played the greater cleverness in block ing and side-stepping. This fact, how ever, is nothing against the merit like- ly to da aiiacnea to couture s exniDi tion. The experience of his opponent, who was equally clever, slightly over shadowed Couture, but even then it would have been a good draw in any land. Another feature, showing the cleverness of the lads, is the fact that neither was marred in the least durinj the speedy 10 rounds. The exhibition between Gene Sulli van and Eddie Cerf, was not nearly so exciting as' the preceding bout, and while it was interesting, it probably would have met with better favor had it been staged before that of the speedy youngsers. Cerf seemingly was not in shape for a gruelling bout. Sullivan was in the "pink of condition." This caused Cerf to be on the defensive most of the time, and he was also both ered to an extent by the efforts of his four seconds, who tried to tell him what he should do. Cerf Is Outboxed. Sullivan outboxed Cerf, but at that the San Francisco boy was his equal when it came to the clinches and in side work. The Montana lad possessed an advantage in longer reach, and fre quently used his left to advantage. However. Cerf, who proved one of the gamest youngsters in the business, al ways was successful in warding off telling blows. Neither is entitled to a decision, for there was no merit in the work of either to warrant such a ruling. The entertainment was pleasing to all. and the largest crowd of the season was evidently well satisfied. It was a far better card that marked the intro ductory event held by the Rose City Club in October, and in this one in stance the club made good its boast of improving the attractions to be of fered. The Oregon Athletic Club expects to stage a set of exhibition bouts about December IS, and last night the man agement announced that "Jockey" Ben nett undoubtedly would be one of the boys to exhibit the fine points of the boxing game on that date.

STRAIGHT FOOTBALL USED Pants and Forward - Passes Result Unfavorably to Teams Using Them Only Scoreless Game of Its Class Tli is Season. The Highland school football team failed to land the championship of the heavyweights in the Grammar School League yesterday aftrnoon, -when it was held by the husky Montavilla eleven to a scoreless game, the only one that has been played this season among the school teams. Both teams used straight football mostly. In the two or three times that forward passes were resorted to they were failures and worked to the advant age of the opposing side. Punting was almost entirely liminated by both teams, each trying repeatedly to make Its yard age on downs, but generally failing and giving the ball the other side. The game wa a surprise to the High land team, after the game last week, when Montavilla was defeated decisively by the score of 11 to 5. Another game will' be played next Thursday. If High land wins it will have the championship of the heavyweight division, but if Mon tavilla wins or the game is another tie, still another contest will be necessary to decide the winner. Teed, the Montavilla right half, was the star of the game. I-Ie is fast on his feet and made several spectacular ad vances through the line and around the ends. . Thompson, the Montavilla quar terback, was good. Lent, playing right half for Highland. performed agilely. Booth, the Highland left guard, was one of the best men in the game. Early in the first half. Highland had the ball on the Montavilla 12-yard line, but tried straight football instead of a place kick and gave the ball away. Mon tavilla attempted to get out of dangerous territory by the use of a forward pass but It was intercepted and was advanced by Booth and Lent to the Montavilla 20 yard line again only to be lost on downs. Again, late in the second half, after the ' ball had surged back and forth in the middle of the field, it was carried again Into Montavilla territory by the fierce attacks of the Highland backs. The ball was captured, however, by Monta-illa and on big gains on delayed pass plays and end runs raced, for a minute or two, toward the Highland goal, but the ball was lost on a fumble and the half ended.
