Next Week May Se Changes in As sociation- Vancouver May Bo Ousted to Admit HilL Considering the advisability of re organising the Portland Interscholastlc Athletic Association, disbanded last week. J. W. Kletser. Portland Academy: J. C. Veatch. Washington High School, and Robert J. Smith. Jefferson High School, the appointed committee, met yesterday at the Young Men s Chris tian Association but took .no de Anita action. Mr. Kletzer waa made chair man of the committee. From all appearances, the league will be reorganised next week, after school has convened from the holiday vaca tion. The proposed personnel of the league was discussed. One thins; decided upon was that the league would be reorganized as soon as possible and that tha basketball games, supposed to begin next week. will begin about the middle or tne month. The basketball and baseball schedules, omitting Columbia, will be revised and published as soon as pos sible. Will Vancouver High School b re, talned In the league when It Is reorgan Ized? Thla la a question which Is bold' lng the attention of many athletic fol lowers in Portland. Since Columbli University has been eliminated from the league many local athletic devotees say that Vancouver haa absolutely no right In the association. If Columbia University and Hill Mill tary Academy, both Portland Institu tions, are not allowed In the league. Vancouver, a city In a different state. should not be counted among the teams of a Portland - Interscholastlc league. they say. It is argued that Vancouver has not added any particular luster to athletics, has not aided the league by attendance at the games and further more, la not an Oregon Institution. It Is understood that a fight will be made to eliminate Vancouver, now that Columbia has been dropped. Several prominent men In amateur athletics yesterday expressed the opinion that Vancouver should not be allowed In a Portland secondary league. They said If more teams were wanted and Colum bia and Hill not wanted, why not St. Johns or Oregon City or some other Ore gon Institution?

WASHINGTON IS CONFIDENT Local Football Lads Prepare for Greatest and Probably Fastest Game Ever Pulled Off Teams Line Tp Saturday. Despite the crashing defeat admin istered to the Wenatchee High School team at Seattle Monday afternoon by the Oak Park High School team of Chicago. Washington High School here Is confident of winning when they meet Saturday afternoon at Recreation Park. According to the Seattle reporta Oak Park "unfolded play after play that had never before been seen on a West ern gridiron." If such Is the case Sat urday, then Portland football fans will be given a rare treat. The local high school champion team Is also prepared to unfold plays -that have never been seen before in Portland. To Judge their chances by the amount of "pepper" shown In practice and by their precision In reeling off Intricate trick and forward pass plays, Wash ington High School will make the Chi cagoans "hurry some" to win. , Oak Park's reputation as performers with the forward pass has preceded It from the East. That the reputation seems Just enough was shown by the rapidity and neatness In which they scored on Wenatchee In the Seattle game. Attendance Will Bo Heavy. At Seattle the gams was attended by the largest crowd in the history of "prep" games. At Portland the largest football crowd of the year. It Is ex pected, will flock to Recreation Park. Judging from the advance sale of tickets Portland will eclipse Seattle In point of attendance. Oak Park remains yet to be scored on this year. On the other hand It has run up a total of more than 300 polnta on opposing teams. If reports are true concerning Wenatchee's showing against Chicago the exhibition waa not a representative one of Western foot ball tactics. Wenatchee's attempts with the forward pass were bunglesome and non-productive while Oak Park's were cleverly executed. To see the Wash ington boys" forward pass work In practice. Is to believe that scores will come from It. While Coach Earl has drilled his men hard at perfecting the offensive tactics he has also taught them defensive strategy that will no doubt meet any emergency that the Chicago team may require them to combat. In all prob ability the local lads will polish off their training- for the game by prac ticing at Recreation Park. Weather Won't Deter. New sawdust will be spread upon the most muddy and soft places on the gridiron and the game will be played regardless of weather conditions. No game since the contest between Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club and St. Louis University three years ago has attracted the state-wide attention that this coming battle Is command ing. When the St. Loulsans came West higiily touted for their football In genuity and speed, all likllhood of vic tory seemed to sway In favor of the Easterners. However, It was a differ ent story told when the teams met. Multnomah winning decisively. Allies of tbe local teams are hopeful of a similar result Saturday. Reserved seats are selling rapidly at Meier & Frank, the Northern Pacific Ticket Office and Schiller's cigar stores. Pop ular prices will prevail. The Chicago team will leave Seattle tonight for Portland, arriving here to be quartered at the Hotel Oregon, at ( o'clock Thursday morning. The Eastern athletes will be met at tha depot by numerous former Cblcagoans. The boys will remain in the city until Sunday night, returning to Chicago by January 4, in time for the ending of the holiday school vacation. LEAGUE TO RE-CONVENE THOMAS F.
