TEAMS EVENLY MATCHED
Contest at Albany Saturday to Be

on
' ' BY ROSCOE PAWCETT.
Although several tense lntersection
al battles yet remain on the calendar.
It has been clearly established that the
three Western teams are to dominate
"Northwest conference football this
year.
The University of Oregon defeated
Whitman 29-3. Washington State 7-0
and Idaho 13-0, and the Oregon Aggies
walloped Washington State 7-0.
Interest now switches to- the final
eliminations between the western trio,
Oregon, the Oregon Aggies and .the
champion Washingtons.
ments is scheduled for Saturday at Al
bany, when the Oregon Aggies will at
tempt to wrest the laurels from Wash
ington. While close critics expected the Ag-
fries to win over Washington State
Saturday by two touchdowns, instead
of one. the champs also fell one or two
touchdowns off bogey in their 28-7
defeat of Whitman.
Ergo, early-season conclusions that
the Aggies are destined to make the
Seattle Vlsigothic invaders sit up
nights and worry, still remain in statu
quo. '
As Coach Stewart of the Aggies has
said, Washington Is coming south with
practically a veteran crew and likely
will open 10-8 favorites.
But, with no more than one touch
down difference in the playing strength
of two teams, the winning eleven must
set the breaks to win under the new
and open game. Hence we again ven
ture the prediction that if the champs
are to be - dragged in the dust, said
dragging must be done at Albany next
Saturday.
This will be Washington's only game
off the campus, thanks to the schem
ing of the wily Dobie.
Saturday only the one conference
game. Washington vs. Oregon Aggies;
will be served up for the delectation
of the gridiron enthusiasts. And the
fallowing Saturday, November 7, only
the Idaho vs. Washington State game
will be played
This latter battle ought to be a hum
mer. Idaho won last Fall, 3-0. Griff's
men, in fact, have turned the trick
thrice in the last four campaigns. After
refereeing behind both teams this Fall
we would not care to stake more than
a shilling either way. That's how
evenly matched they appear. Both
teams average around 172 pounds in
weight and boast the same style of at
tack and defense.
If anything, Washington State's of
fense looks slightly stronger than
Idaho's.
This brings us down to November 14
when all six conference colleges will
again swarm onto the festive gridiron.
On that date Oregon will meet Wash
ington at Seattle; Idaho will appear in
Portland against the Oregon Aggies
and Whitman will tackle Washington
State at Spokane.
Oregon furnished Washington with a
terrific 10-7 scare last Fall. So it is
not altogether outside the realms
possibility that if Dobie doesn't get hi
beating from the Aggies it will be
slipped to him in the neighborhood of
the Adam s apple by the Bezdek braves
While Bezdek found himself with
bunch of green timber at the opening
scrimmage, he has worked over it until
his line is now on a par with anything
in the conference. His wing men are
still off color, both offensively in
tackling the safety and defensively in
boxing opposing ends, in the punting
game. But the Willamette practice
sessions Friday ought to help the Ore
gon mentor in his effort to develop two
star performers out of Welst and Gar
rett. These two Portland lads are fairly
heavy, fairly fast and gritty and all
they need is that old experience stuff
that Dobie gives his men by keeping
them on his second string about two
seasons before they are needed.

Murphy, of the Athletics, was the sec

Speaking of the champs, the Seattle
Times, says its backfield was woefully
sluggish against Whitman Saturday.
""Occasionally there was a burst of.
speed and fight that looked like a usual
Dobie machine, but for the most part
the play was slow. They looked to have
the power, but not the "pep." Unless
more speed Is Injected into the games
it would be a good idea to play the first
naif on 'Friday.
Washington tried seven forward
passes, ii aeveiops, ana tne ball was
aught only twice. Apparently Dobie
misses Warren Grimm and Wayne Sut
ton. Catch Griffith, of Idaho, must have
giggled to himself earlier in the year
when it was noised about that he would
be weak -on veterans. Think of it.
Idaho went Into the game against Ore
gon with 11 letter men, nine of whom
wore the big "I" and the other two
held letters from Eastern colleges.
Johnstone, at one guard, played two
years at Washburn College, Kan., and
Klpp at the other guard earned his

Johnstone was ineligible last year,
but played against the Multnomah Club

Walter McCredie. of the Portland

like all the managers in lining up his
players. So far only one has - been

Manager Walt will lose several of his
mainstays, too. Captain Bill Rodgers
goes to Cleveland and Jxores to th

of the Phillies, is also dickering to
secure Shortstop Bancroft. Neal held
a conference with McCredie this after
noon, but nothing came of it.
Regarding the game at Portland on
November 2 between the Portland
champions and All-Majors. McCredie
declares there will be comparatively
few of the Beavers who will be on
hand. Most have started to scatter for
their respective homes. There will be
a game, however, for Eddie Mensor and
other Dig leaguers have consented to

who once claimed the white heavy
weight championship of the world. As
an aspirant to tne vacant throne of
Jeffries, Pelkey was even more of a
Joke than those other cheese cham
pions, Carl Morris, of Oklahoma, and Al -
Palzer, of Iowa. He had tne lengin
ind the bulk, standing over six feet
one in his tootsies and weighing over
200, but that let him out.
Pelkey was born 30 years ago today.
October 27, 1884, at Chatham. Ontario.
His real name was Peltier, -and he is
f mingled Frenoh-Canadian and Irish
blood. That combination has produced
several great fighters, but It didn't do
much for the Canadian. Arthur began
fighting in Boston, and in 1910 and the
wo succeeding years he took on a
number of second-raters in various New
England cities. In 1911 he knocked out
Jim Barry in a bout pulled oft in
Pelkey's native town, and the following
year he defeated Soldier Kearns In
New York and outpointed a lew otner
fairly good "hopes."
m m m
Pelkey got into the limelight last
year when he was matched to tight
Luther McCarty at Calgary for the
'white heavyweight championship.
Tommy Burns, the ex-champion, took
Arthur under his wing, and groomed
him for the battle. All boxing fans
remember the result the tragic death
of Luther in the ring before the battle
had fairly commenced.
It may be that the fatality took the
starch out of Pelkey, and. In any event.
he failed utterly to live up to his cham
pionship claims. On the first of this
year he was knocked out by Gunboat
Smith at Daly City, Cal.. and a little
later he was put to Bleep by K.ld
Kenneth. After those defeats Arthur
took a steamboat and sailed away, but
he made no -more of a hit abroad than
he did at home. He lacked the fighting
spirit and the iron Jaw of the bruiser.
and his mental processes required too
long a time to pass a given point to
enable him to shine as a boxer.
Charley Ledoux, the clever little
French bantam boxer, was born at
Nievre, France, 22 years ago today,
October 27, 1832. Charley began di
playing bis fistic prowess before the
Parisians In 1909. He fought 20 bauts
during his first year in the ring, and
lost but one of them, and that to
Georges Carpentler, then a lightweight
but now a light heavyweight. Of the
score of triumphs scored by Ledoux,
18 were by the knockout route, and 11
of them were scored In the first round.
The little Frenchman' first visited
America in 1912. when he fought six
rounds with Kid Williams in Phila
delphia. He crossed the pond again
last year, and after losing a 20-round
decision to Eddie Campi at Vernon he
was knocked out by- Kid Williams in
the 15th round. Ledoux claimed the
bantam championship of Europe by
reason of his defeat of Bill Benyon,
the British titleholder. . at Cardiff,
Wales, last February.
Abe Gordon, 105-Pounder, Returns From
San Francisco, Where He Says He
Xearned New Boxins Stunts.
Ralph Qruman. Portland lightweight,
will enter the la-round boxing game
tonight, when he will meet Willie Fltz-
simmons at Oakland. Cal.
Gruman has tried his hand at the
four-round game In San Francisco. He
made good from the start. His best
fight was a victory over Johnny
O'Leary, of Seattle, from whom Gru
man won the lightweight champion
ship of the Pacific Tloast.
Eddie Kelley, the Harlem boy, is the
only one that ever mussed up the Port
land boxer in a short bout.
V
Abe Gordon, a clever 105-pounder,
has just returned from San Francisco,
where he had several battles with top

a lot ef new boxing stunts.
Abe saw Ralph Gruman in a number
of bouts.
Gordon will again be taken under the
