President Baer, of Occidental College, Refuses to Stretch Season, Says Message. SCORE DOESN'T TELL ALL 'HINGTON NOW IN LINE You ''V- Y J H X- i t - After Going Against United Front'ln Conference at Portland, Seattle Aggregation Willing to Be have Reasonably. There will be no Oregon Aggie foot bxill trip to Los Angeles on New Year's day. After negotiations had been al most completed between tbe Corvallis maDngers and Occidental College. President Baer, of the latter institu tion, refused to stretch, out tbe season. At least, so says a telegram received yesterday from Los Angeles. Last year tbe Agzles went south and gave tbe Californians a terrific trim ming and -perhaps that has something to do with the alleged refusal of the Oxys. Though one prospective date was erased from the Oregon Angles' sched ule yesterday, another, far more im portant, was announced as near con summation. The University of Wash ington, after refusing to meet the Aggies in Oregon, finally came through and negotiations are on for a game cither in Portland, December 31, or at Albany. Doble likes a hard, fast, field nd likely will bold out for Al bany if forced to meet the Aggies at all. When the schedule's were drafted at the conference meeting In Portland. Washington tried to bulldoze its way ' through the maze of dates. Graduate Manager Horr seemed fair enough, but he was forced to do the messenger boy act for Dobia and the Seattle facuty, with the result that only three games were landed, all in Seattle. At last tho bluffing bad failed, and for that the laurelbaum must be hand ed to Managers Larson, of Idaho, and Stewart, of the Oregon 'Aggies. These two staunch delegates refused to be used longer as feeders to Washing ton, and. as expected, Washington now appears willing to play the good-dog act. If -the proposed Washington-Oregon Aggie game is scheduled for October 31, It will necessitate a re-arrangement of the Multnomah Club's tenta tive schedule. The Winged M had expected to play the Aggies in Portland on that dftte, but probably it can be made earlier. Multnomah's tentative schedule, as an nounced, by Manager Stott, follows: October 3. practice game or match with Oregon at Eugene; October 10. Oregon Aggies at Corvallis; October 24, open: October 31. Oregon Aggies, in Portland; November 2. Oregon in Portland: New Tear's day, option given to Washington Statu College, for game In Portland. A review of the football records, fol lowing the promulgation of Walter . Camp's Ail-American team . week ago. shows that during the quarter of a century that Camp has been choos ing mythical honor squads, he has named only 12 Western athletes. They are as follows: p!yr tnd Colltg Te.ir. 1 HTchbrr. Chicago 1?S 2 HtiM. Michigan .. l0S-'04 3 KckerII. CUUaso 1iM-'05-'0 i Srhutz. Michigan 1MT tt steffen.

Chicago 1913 Of all the Western teams, Michigan, with five, fares best: Chicago stands second with four. Minnesota third with two and Wisconsin in fourth with one. The selection of Des Jardlen and Craig on this year's eleven ties the Western record established in 1903. when Benbrook. of Michigan, and Mc Guvern. of Minnesota, were named as suard and quarterback, respectively. There were also two Westerners on the 1910 team. Walker. Minnesota, at guard, and Wells, of Michigan, at end. Herschberger. of Chicago, was the first Western man so honored back In 1S9S. with Billy Heston. .of Michigan, one of the greatest halfbacks that ever trod the gridiron, second in 1903 and 1904. Heston was short and 'stocky, weighed 190 pounds and was as slip pery as an eel. Eckersall. of Chicago, the third man. was named three years in succession. He was located at end In 1904 and at quarter In 1905 and 190S. Germany Hchulx. of Chicago, probably the great est center ever developed in the West, was honored in 1907. Walter Camp forgot there was any territory beyond the Alleghenies in 1911. bnt came back In 1913 and se lected Butler. Wisconsin tackle.

BAR FOR PACKET APPEARS a New York and Montana May Recom mend Ban on MteFarland. VTTT TtT A TTTTTUT Tt 1 i TH clCPV McFarland was suspended recently by the Wisconsin Doxing commission one year from taking part in any box in. It h1 .lata neAAUHe Of his failure to give a satisfactory "perfor mance" In the Dout wiin jaca. janti-uu in Milwaukee on December 8. On that occasion the largest crowd that ever attended a local boxing tour nament turned out and voiced disap proval of McFarland's work by Jeers and cat calls. NEW YORK, Dec 19. Although box inir iirrir Rtate suDervision is gov erned by commission in the states of Wisconsin, Montana and New York, there is no agreement between the aLfite commissions to . uphold the rulings of Individual commissions. Rnrh an agreement is now being con sidered and it is possible that the New York and Montana commissions may officially recognize the suspension of McFarland by the Wisconsin commis sion. In this connection. the efforts of the French boxing federation to organ iin an international body are made ap parent by cables received from Victor Bryer and Paul Rousseiu relative to tbe championship claim of Jack John- mn. Rousseiu cabled: "French federation proposes to In ternational Boxing Union Jack Johnson no more world's champion. Flease cable if in agreement with France." Bryer"s message: "Cable official de clslon championship status Jack John son." - To both cables the answer was sect hat the New York commission recog nized Jack Johnson as champion heavy. weight of the world. rniPinn To- lu p.rkpv YpFar land declared he would 'not worry over the action or me Wisconsin commission barring him from boxing In the state for a year. "Their ruling has no influence la ether states." he said, "and I don't care if I ever fight in Wisconsin again.

Although the score would seem to Indicate a one-sided game yet it took all the Thompson players had to down the Shaver grammar school 25 to 0, on Multnomah Field yesterday. The result of the game gives the Thompson gram mar school tne ivis leatnerweignt championship of the Portland grammar school football league. Two touchdowns were registered- in the first half and two in the second half with Hlxon being responsible for three of them. He was at his best at advancing the ball and on his.last attempt at carrying the ball he circled the end for a touchdown after running 60 yards. Out of the four touchdowns only one was converted .into, a goal kick, and that by Hixon. Oif two at tempts the ball was declared dead by Referee Borleske while another was shot from a difficult angle. From the first whistle to start the game to the last to end the match both teams were on their toes as tne weather was cold and rlsp, injecting a lot of "pep" into the little footballists. Stevens, playing fullback lor Thomp son, scored a touchdown after going straight through tne- line. tor tne winners George Weston was a bis factor in helping Thompson to the title, while his little . brother, Ray, played like a veteran at the center position. The entire Thompson back field got the Jump on the Shaver players, but little did they gain when trying to go on Shaver's right side of the line. Paul Smith, weighing but98 pounds and playing right guard for the losers, is without a doubt the best all around player in the entire grammar school league. No player was too fast or too big for him to stop nor did it make any difference to him which side of the line the play was , going on. ssev eral times three of his opponents "boxed" him but he never stopped until the man with the ball was down. Another little player who dis tinguished himself was the 80-pound Shaver quarterback, Murdack. He ran the team with apparent ease and at running with the ball he made as much yardage as any ot his teammates. Other stars for Shaver were Captain Beletske and Jenkins.
