13 TIIE MORNING OREGOXIAN, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1914. DOBIE'S OLD TEAM IS NEARLY INTACT In Spite of Coach's Dismal Forebodings, Washington Is v Stronger Than Ever. PROBABLE LINEUP PICKED V Iittman Stock Looking t"p and .Archie Ttahn, With Return ot Vt . trr, 191C Star, Expects to Give Accounting This Season. z' . BT ROSCOE PAWCETT. On by - one the veterans are trek king back to the Washington football lold and if the migration doesn't stop (oca some of the Seatle newspaper men will have to admit being- bunked by Xobies pre-season "bear" yarns. From all we can learn Center Pres ley and End Sutton will be practically the only veterans of the 1913 cham pionship squad not in uniforms when the final roll call is completed. "Mother" Hunt, a strapping big end, Was the last to report a couple of days back after Dobie had it all doped out, for the benefit of the public mind, that Hunt would not be on hand. For Presley's place Gelatly, a We satchee youth whose play in inter scholastic circles brought much luster to the family name, is said to be the most formidable' candidate. Dobie has a raft of others, however, and without doubt he will be able to find a capa ble 185-pound substitute for Presley. Here's how Dobie's veterans shape Vpm- Ends Hunt, 180; Leader, 176; Savage, 15- Tackles Anderson, 185; Leader, 175. Guards Seagraves, 175; probably Griffiths, 180. Quarter Smith. 160. Halves Miller, 205; Noble, 190; and possibly Jacquot, 178. and Gill, 185. Fullback Shiel. 185. Augmenting this formidable assort ment of beef and brawn Dobie has re ceived notable reinforcements from nearly all the high schools of Washing ton. Spokane sent over three or four hus kies of more than 180 pounds, among whom were Gardiner, fullback, of the Lewis and Clark High; Hargrave, guard and Luther, tackle. Glimpsing the outlook from any an gle, the gink who prophesied a dismal season for Washington must have been peering through gogglescopes. For the benefit of the bear story trainers we repeat our statement of some weeks back: If Washington loses its six-year-old championship it will be because Its riv als have' at last awakaned from their lethargy, not because of any lack of strength on the part of the Dobieites. ... While sitting in at the bulldogging and lassooing at the Walla Walla Frontier Show last week, the writer enjoyed a pleasant chat with Archie Hahn, Whitman College athletic di rector. Coach Hahn Is looking forward to a good year on the gridiron, and doesn't think Washington will have any 43-7 walkaway this season. Whitman loses its star punters, Niles and Baker, but stock rose a few points last week when Utter, the 200-pound guard of the 1912 eleven, returned to college. Utter's reporting brought the Whit man line up to proportions almost as bulky as that of two years ago. Hanson, of Whitworth College, is scheduled for center and he is compar atively light, tipping about 165. Vete ran guards are Utter, 200, and Toung, 185. At tackle 190-pound Neiswanger and Traut. a 194-pound recruit, are the most likely candidates, although Hahn also has Berney, 175, of last year's eqnad, available. Neiswanger performed like a Spartan In the Idaho game last Fall, and Whit man expects great things of him Hahn loses Botts at end but he has cn hand Slover, 165; Post, 155, and some recruits. Hoover 172, a veteran, and Tenney, 0. of the Walla Walla High, are the Iest men for quarter so far upturned. Hahn has a plethora of halfbacks some of whom are Clancy, 155; Clark 175 Bishop, 165, and little Trixy McDonald' ho tips the beam around 140 pounds' Coach Hahn is sadly deficient at full back, and may decide to switch Nei jrwanger to the fullback position at least on offense. . Whitman's suggestion to use Giant Neiswanger In the back field recalls that the Oregon Aggies, and possibly the University of Oregon, may do some reinforcing of the secondary line. Early in the Fall practices Dr. Stew art, of the Oregon Aggies, began using B-ackle Hofer at half, and. unless Hofer Calls far below his present form, he doubtless will be anchored there The switch of Everett May to the fcackfield last year was a great move and, as the Aggies have an abundance f beefy veterans for the skirmish line the Hofer switch would seem to be another master stroke.

The leading batters of the Pacific Coast League moved closer to a common av erage this last week, as shown in the percentages published here tonight. Gus Fisher, of Portland, fell off four points, but, as Del Howard, the Seals' manager, remained pegged at 350, the formidable Beaver was still 11 points to the good and leader of the league ."With an average of 36L Wolter of Los Angeles, who, besides being the leading run-getter of the league, also has knocked out more triples than anybody else, and is only two pegs behind Lober of Portland in the record of home runs for the sea eon, moved up into third place tmong the general batting averages by a gain f seven points, making his score 334. In club batting averages, Portland fell off a point, but 278 was still good enough to lead the league, being four points better than Los Angeles, even though the Angels did gain three points during the week. The Seals' hopes of climbing into first place did not gain much comfort from the week's show ing. They lost a point, dropping to 255, which is comfortably at the bottom of the pile, two points below Mission and Venice and seven points below Oak land. Venice, with 965. was still the clean est fielding team of the league, al though the Tigers fell off a point. The Peals, in second place, fell two points landing at 961. Rodgers of Portland with 64 stolen bases, led Schaller of Ban Francisco, by 17 credits. Wolter again showed his class as an all-round player by appearing in the eama tabu- lation, even though it was only in sixth place, with 41. The heavy hitters kept their relative positions. Lober had nine home runs, Bayless of Venice eight and Wolter seven. .Wolter had 18 triples. Bayless, 17. and Ellis of Los Angeles 15. NATIONAL LEAGUE. Boston 6, Pittsburg 5. BOSTON. Sept. 21. By defeating Pittsburg 6 to S today, while New York lost to Chicago, the Braves took up their interrupted advance in the National League pennant race. The leaders' advantage is now four full games. Pittsburg's defeat was accom plished by four runs made in the fourth inning. Smith had singled; he took second on Maranville's sacrifice, third on Whaling's out at first, and scored on Rudolph's single. Moran walked and Evers singled.

Vaughn, who has been effective against the champions all season, allowed New York only seven scattered hits. Mar quard started the game and suffered his 11th straight defeat. He was hit hard and his support was poor. The largest week-day crowd of the season saw the game.

Brooklyn to day repeated its feat of Saturday by taking both games of a double-header from Cincinnati. The first game was a Blugging con test and the score was 9 to 6." Reul bach was knocked out of the box in the sixth inning, but Brooklyn came back in the sixth by driving Fittery to cover and then hitting Schnieder and Ames in timely fashion. The second game was peculiar in that Allen struck out 11 men, but was reached for 12 hits. The score was 8 to 2. Brooklyn's victory was largely due to Allen striking out men in emergencies. Benton was hammered steadily, and especially by Stengel The latter scored four runs, getting three singles and a- home run.-and stealing three bases. Herzog and Stengel did excellent work on the de fense. Score: First game R. H. E.

TEW OF OLD GUARD BACK Three New Stars Show Up for Prac tice Leader of Squads Asserts Outlook for Team Is An y thing bnt Promising. Multnomah Club's football team is due for a severe trouncing by the Ore gon Aggies October 10. is the belief of Captain Convill, following the weekly practice at the Winged M. stadium Sunday. Three news stars showed up for work Chuck Taylor, star halfback of the Oregon team three or four years ago; Bill Holden, guard on the Oregon team last year, and Os Day, a noted local interscholastic star. Besides these there were several lesser lights on hand, among whom were Claise McDougall. former Pacific University end, and Donaldson, an ex Vancouver soldier end. Captain Convill, however, is worry ing' because so few of the old guard have evinced interest in the 1915 wel fare. Sunday Philbrook showed- up in civilian suit, but was not out for practice, and Walter Keck was also among the missing. Bailey is on a ranch and will not get down until four days before the Aggie game. Quarterback Rodes is still in Ken tucky and it is possible be may not come West at all. "On the whole our outlook is any thing but promising," remarked Cap tain Convill dubiously. "I am count ing a lot on Clyde Rupert. Patsy O'Rourke and Francis, but these three big fellows cannot make a whole team. "At center Cherry Is through and Carlson cannot play because of his bad knee. We have Rupert and Holden at guards and Bailey and Philbrook at tackles, if Philbrook 'decides to. turn out and get in shape. "I guess we will have to develop new ends, for McRae and Hickson are miss ing. Strieblg is a star. The back field will include Taylor, Keck, Francis, myself and Rodes, if he comes, and some of the new men." The Aggie game and the Oregon game Thanksgiving day, both on Mult nomah Field; are the only big games scheduled. Unless some big eastern college is brought on a tour, the Mult nomah season will close Turkey day this year. l EDEn.Ui LEAGUE. Indianapolis 9, Buffalo 1.

He put himself out of the second and third heats by breaks on the far turn. In the first heat he put his record down to 2:02 1-2 and showed splendid bursts of speed through the final quarters of the fourth and fifth miles. He was second choice to King Couchman, who did not possess finish ing power. To Brighton B., of the Murphy stable, went the decision in the 2:11 trot, al though he won only two heats.

Chief Ruling; la That "Hall Is Down Where Forward Progress Ccuet," Which la in Favor of Runer, NEW YORK, SepL 2L An "interpre tation meeting" of prominent football officials was held here last night and rules were freely discussed. Several recommendation were made for the guidance of officials and coaches during the season. While no radical changes were pro posed, at least two points were made clear after a great deal of discussion and a vote taken under the direction of the chairman, Walter Camp, of Yale. A controversy in which Dr. Sharp, Dr. Carl Williams. William E. Edwards and CJeorge Foster Sanford were prom inent, ended with a definite decision that "the ball is down where forward progress ceases." which is In favor of the runner and against the tackler, who may have forced the runner back some distance. The other point decided was that "on an on-side kick, if a man eligible touches the ball, it makes every man on the field eligible to recover the ball." Several other technical points were discussed, including the holding of an opponent with the hands or arms in defense. This raised a little argument between Coaches David Fultz and San ford, in which the latter disagreed with a ruling made by Fultz in a Tale Harvard game. Sanford said that "Hands, hands,"' was a time-honored cry at Tale and the play should not be penalized. The question was put to a vote and Sanford's argument was sus tained.

WILLAMETTE NEEDS DISCUSSED Weakest Spo In Football Team Is In Kicking Department. WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Salem. Or., Sept. 21. (Special.) After the final practice of the week Coach Thompson held a conference with his staff last night regarding the weak nesses that must be overcome before the alumni game Friday. The weakest spot at present Is In the kicking department. Raymond Roland, whose clever booting last season was one of the strongest assets of the team, graduated and out of all the ma terial on hand no one with noticeable ability has been found to replace him. Another question that puzzles the coach considerably is the absence of an experienced field general. Paul Human, who was recognized as an expert in this line. is. on his way to Oxford. His absence coupled with that of Roland, leaves the backfield without anyone of more than one year's experience. "Toots" Booth is the lone candidate for quarterback and though searching investigation for other likely material has been made, no one suitable to bol ster up this part of the team has been found. Booth is exceptionally clever, but remembering what disaster the lack of quarterbacks brought Oregon last season at least three efficient men are desired for the pivot's position. Perhaps the most serious weakness of the squad is its difficulty in hand ling passes. Practically the only hope for remedying the weaknesses is that when the College of Law opens Sep tember 28 some new material may fill the vacancies.

Their business is to have tt:s pianos immediately out of the way, as the surplus stock from the manufacturers is now starting to arrive. Everyone is familiar with conditions and everyone knows that export trade, especially for the piano manufacturer, is at a standstill. When we took advantage of the wonderful offer made by seven of the world's largest and best-known piano builders, we knew that pianoless homes of Portland and vicinity would appreciate the prices and respond quickly The big selling records prove that we are doing as we advertise.
