Contest Said to Be Suited for Clubs, but Xot for Colleges Americatt Football Praised as Aiding Discipline and Unity. Ruirby is a good game for clubs. It can not stand the pressure of fiercely contested collegiate warfare. The rules are not exact enough nor the field sufficiently officered. Rules are needed to prevent hurdling and ""'officials to stop slugging. Permission ought to be given to use more substitutes. State ment regarding Rugby football by Warren 1 Bovard, graduate manager of athletics at University of Southern California. BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. "When the University of Southern Cal ifornia, with its 3000. students discard . cd Rugby football in the past Fall and returned to the good old American col legiate sport, there was sounded the . deathknell of Rugby south of the - Tehachapi. All the smaller colleges and-high schools in Southern California will soon - Via halr in th. A m cr i f 1 n f ( 1 1 fin KII ill 'Warren Bovard. graduate manager at ""the University of Southern California, who accompanied his football team to Tacoma for the Thanksgiving game with the Oregon Aggies. Game Loses Favor. Bovard knows both sides of the American versus Rugby controversy ' " better than anyone on the Pacific Coast ' because he has handled both games. He says Rugby is losing caste even in Great Britain. There is too frequent scrumming and too much kicking into 1 touch. "It was given to California with the very highest of motives, but experience proved these reasons to be largely theory," explained Mr. Bovard. "One of its first backers said "the nature of the game Is such that even the tackling is less vicious.' "This is not true. President Baer had an amusing experience. While being entertained and persuaded as to the su periority of Rugby, unfortunately he ' and his hosts came upon a. player with a broken leg. "The New Zealand champions showed '" us that their game was fatally rough The All-Blacks simply dribbled the ball over anybody In their way instead of opening up. This style of play killed Peter Ogden, of the Victoria team, last year, yet I haven't heard of a fatality out here in American football since the rules were changed in 1906. Many Injuries Recorded. "In the All-Blacks series with Cal ' Ifornia Hazelttne's front teeth were knocked out and Bogardus was knocked - cold with concussion of the brain. Parish received a broken nose. Five men received sprained ankles and Cap- tain Peart's left arm was disabled. ".We were shown what Rugby might he if handled by Yale and Harvard." Individual skill is claimed for Rugby. "This is all right for clubs, but it Is more important that the high school . and college man learn discipline and the advantage of unity and system," .vouchsafed the Southern California of ficial. "Nor is it true that more men get Into Rugby than into American foot ball. Rugby limits substitutions to three, while you can use as many as you like in American football. Better etlll, in American football you can take a tried man out and return him into play when he is rested." RING VISIONS GALLED UP TOMMY TRACEY REMEMBERS BAT TLES 18 YEARS AGO. . Veteran Multnomah Instructor Gives Youths Benefit of His Style and Experience. ' - It will be just 18 years ago tomorrow .-.that Tommy Tracey, now boxing in structor at the Multnomah Club, fought his 10-round draw in San Francisco with "Australian" Jimmy Ryan. Both boxers at that time could easily have defeated the present-day welterweights in a championship battle. Tracey and Ryan are Australians, as ..were several other welters in the old days. Including George Lawson, of "kidney punch" fame; Tom Williams, "Shadow" Billy Maber and several others. In 1898 the Winged "M" instructor made his last appearance in the profes sional ring. He was defeated by Kid Lavigne in 20 rounds at San Francisco. In 1894 Tracey was matcned with Joe Walcott in Boston, in the old Music .Hall. For 15 rounds Tommy held the demon black even, but in the next round Walcott slipped over a knockout punch. This bout proved a great disappoint ment to the Boston fight fans, who were anxious to see their negro boxer soundly whipped. Tracey defeated some of the best wel terweights In his time, but was in turn defeated by George Green, the original "Young Corbett," in San Francisco, and , Tommy Ryan in Syracuse. At the Multnomah Club smokers old heads who saw Tracey In his prime say that some of the boys of the club are a pocket.edition of the old battler. Tra--.cey teaches the boys his style of fight ing and as a consequence the Winged 'M' boxers have been returned the vic tors In many events. Glancing over the receipts of prize ring battles between lightweights causes little wonder why the promoters all over the country are anxious to stage bouts between the 133-pounders. It's the lightweights that draw the ' money. In his recent bout RroiMIn TTnl.h . : cumulated a stack of the filthy lucre - that would be considehed a fortune by i'inany. In a little more than three -.':,weeks the lightweight king made $26.- ' 000 With his fists OlltsIHa nf ' heavyweight championship bouts the lightweights have it all over the other ' ClaSBeS When it COme.A fn cnthor) I ; the kale. There have been many battles be ' tween lightweights where the receipts reached five figures. According to Tom Andrews, the Milwaukee promoter, who is also a close student of the game, Joe Jt. Gans and Battling Nelson drew a 'gate of $69,000, while Nelson and Jimmy c: Britt took in $18,000. Nelson also fig ured in two other fights on the Coast where the receipts were more than $20,000. Terry McGovern and Joe Gans drew $30,000 for six rounds in Chicago and McGovern and Nelson reached that ,." figure in Philadelphia. Seven bouts were held in Gotham where the receipts were $20,000, a few going above $30 000 .Sn Milwaukee Ritchie and Wolgaat drew $40,000, Ritchie and White $15,000 and White and Welsh $25,000. In Australia and England some of the biggest houses were recorded in battles between lightweights. The Jeffries-Johnson fight in Reno, Nev., on that memorable July 4, holds the record for receipts. Other heavyweight title bouts have drawn well, but the light weights have the call on the fight fans' purse strings. Now that the boxing game has been counted out in California, due to the solar plexus punch handed it by the women voters, and championship bouts have been legalized in Louisiana, New Orleans is beginning to regain much of its former glory as a boxing center. Many of the greatest championship contests of the last half century have been staged in the Crescent City and its immediate vicinity. John L. Sullivan won the big title from Paddy Ryan at Mississippi City, not far from the EIROPEAX RIG CHAMPION AS SEEN AT FRONT. ." ,' ? i v 4 :-.....' ; . : i-i.;-:.-f. .$ - , Georges Carpentler. Fightinir cpmes a h natural gift to Georges Carpentier, the noted French bovr. so it isn't surprising that he should have joined the French army. He is now a member of the French Flying Corps, and, after the war, should he decide to retire from the "roped arena," there isn't a doubt that he will be one of the daring and noted French aviators. He recently posed for a photograph in the French camp with his prize of war. "Kronprinz," a dog which he captured from the Germans. Southern metropolis, defended It against Jake Kilrain at Rlchburg, Miss., and lost it to Jim Corbett In a Crescent City ring. At an earlier period the neighborhood of New Orleans was the scene of Jem Mace's two great combats for the American championship. He landed on these shores in 1869, and the following year fought and defeated Tom Allen, another Englishman, at Kennervllle, La., near New Orleans. Jem's right to the title was disputed by a native American, Joe Coburn, and In 1871 Mace and Coburn were matched. It was just 43 years ago that Mace and Coburn met at Bay St. Louis, Miss. Although the battle lasted nearly four hours, it was a disappointing af fair to the 600 fans who had assembled to see the clever Englishman and the giant American do battle for the pre mier pugilistic honors of America. In the first round Mace severely injured one of his wrists and from that time had to fight on the defensive. This was Jem Mace's last appearance in the prize ring in a championship battle, although he later toured Aus tralia and took part in many boxing matches. In New Zealand and Aus tralia, Mace pulled off "amateur tourn aments," and made a pile of coin by pitting professional "ringers against the local talent. Mace's best "ringer" was Slade, a giant Maori, whom he was training In the expectation of pitting the black' against John L. Sullivan. Mace's scheme. i was "kicked in the bud" when hersent his giant against a slender young-New Zealand blacksmith named Bob Fitzsimmons. Fitz knocked out Slade and all the best of Mace's ringers, and so was started on the career that made him a champion of the world. Gridiron Gossip., When the famous Oak Park High came West from Illinois four years ago and trimmed Washington High 6 to 3, Portland fans saw a squad of future greats flitting about the tanbark. Five members of Coach Earl's team of 1910 have since made the varsity letter at Oregon and four or five of the Oak Parkers are now in the big league. Russell, Chicago quarterback, played half for Zuppke's high school invaders; Ghee, Dartmouth quarterback, was the signal caller here and McCumber. Illi nois' halfback, played a line position against Washington. Cornell, Parsons, Becket and Wemist, of this year's Ore gon eleven, were working In the game and so was Holden, guard on the Ore gon teams In 1912 and 1913. Holden wore Multnomah Club colors this Fall. Incidentally Zuppke, coach of the Oak Parks, is now coach at the University of Illnols and his team recently clinched the Middle Western championship. With great profundity of thought the various experts have chosen their all star teams.

Benjamin Also Accepts Slosson Challenge for Balk Line Champion. MILL CITY HALL SOUGHT American and' English Title-Holders Meet in Portland Tomorrow and Wednesday Pilot of Tour and Brother Have) Kennion. Willie Hoppe, world's champion balk line billiardist, will defend his 18.2 title against George F. Slosson. of New York, January 1, in Minneapolis. This an nouncement was made here yesterday by R. B. Benjamin, promoter and man ager of the Hoppe-Inman billiard tour through the United States. Manager Benjamin arrived In Port land in the forenoon to prepare for the two days' exhibition at the McCredie parlors, and he appeared rather peevish when asked about Slosson's challenge. "Under the rules, when anybody chal lenges, the champion must be ready to defend within 60 days," he explained. "Slosson knew that Hoppe was under contract to me until the middle of Feb ruary. He also knew that we were touring the country, and it would have been more tasteful for him to have waited. Hall for Match Songht. "However, we will be in Minneapolis about January 1, and I have already written to billiard-hall owners there with reference to staging the match. Hoppe won this title from Slosson two years ago, and has since defended it against George Sutton, Koji Yamada and Calvin Demarest. "Personally, I believe Hoppe is so far superior to these other stars that he can spot them 1000 points in a 2000 point match and then beat them. This Slosson challenge is for only 500 points, but Hoppe will win easily. He is a marvelous shot, and I believe will eclipse even the remarkable Melbourne Inman at the English game within another 12 months." Benjamin is almost as interesting a character as Hoppe. and Inman. He was born at San Francisco, but left there about 30 yearsr ago. Since then he has been around the world so often that it makes your head swim to listen to him. Brothers Have Reunion. One of his brothers, Benny Benjamin, was sporting editor of the San Fran cisco Chronicle for years. Benny died about two years ago and Harry B. Smith stepped up into bis position. An other brother, L. S. Benjamin, lives in Portland and is a member of the Port land Ad Club. These two got together yesterday for the first time In 30 years and had a great reunion. In his younger days the older Benja min was the champion welterweight wrestler of California, under the colors of the Olympic Club. It was Benjamin who induced Jim Corbett to box for the Olympic Club, and Corbett immediately quit his job in a bank and afterwards became champion of the world by de feating John L. Sullivan. Corbett and Benjamin Meet. Corbett and Benjamin met in Edmon ton last week for the first time since the two were kids together in San Francisco. Corbett and Tommy Burns both took a special trip down from Calgary to Spokane to see Hoppe and Inman perform. "I spent 13 years of my wanderings in India," said Benjamin, fondling a glittering gold-headed cane. He broke his leg two or three years ago and needs the prop in walking. "While there I managed Gama, the famous In dian wrestler who made Gotch and Hackenschmidt hunt their holes. Gama chased Zbyszko out of a London ring In about 10 seconds, and threw Dr. Roller twice in 40 seconds at the Al hambra." Last year Benjamin piloted the Aus tralian champion cricketers through the United States in 57 matches, and made a snug sum from the promotion. Hoppe and Inman, his latest exploita tions, will arrive in Portland some time today. They will appear at McCredie's billiard parlors tomorrow and Wednes day at 3 P. M. and 8:15 P. M., exhibit ing in both balk and English billiards. HAGERMAN HELD WRONG CLEVELAND REPORTS DENY EX BEAVER WAS ILL-TREATED. Jumping to "Federals No Surprise and Though Regretted No Steps Are Planned to Prevent It. "Rip" Hagerman's hurdle to the Fed eral circuit did not surprise the man agement of the Cleveland club, accord ing to the Naptown papers. The for mer Beaver moundsman had refused to sign the contract offered him at the end of last season, and although Presi dent Somers regrets seeing him sign with -the outlaws, no steps will be taken to prevent his jumping. It Is said. Rip erred when he said that Manager Birmingham had not used him right last season, but kept him merely to warm up, it is said. Birmingham want ed to use Hagerman many times in midsummer, according to reports, but Rip was ill. Charles Weeghman says he was used as a goat by organized ball in the re cent peace conferences "in a frameup to pacify the minor leagues." Weegh man Is fast learning baseball politics. A well-known baseball player, who was blacklisted many years ago by the National League, went to old Bob Ferguson, then a power in baseball pol itics, and asked Bob to get him rein stated. Bob frankly told the outlaw that he would like to help him, but that it could not be done. "Look here. Bob," said the applicant, "when a man robs a bank he is sent to prison for a few years and then re leased. Now I have been out of base ball quite awhile and want to get back again." "A man may be released from prison all right," said Ferguson, "but you can bet he don't get his job back in the same bank." ' Although it has been repeatedly de nied that there is any friction between Jake Daubert, the Brooklyn slugger, and Manager Robinson, rumors of a trade in which the first sacker will be involved are being heard again. Dau bert threatened to jump to the Fed erals last Winter and obtained a con tract at $9000 a year. This contract would have to be assumed by the club that took him by trade or purchase.

Baseball Today Regarded More as Busi ness Than Profession Pay First Thonarht, Is Complaint. Althouerh hAM4rtnl1 Vi-o steadily in the past decade, becoming oiiiciiLinu. intricate ana compli cated, the Individual players are lnfe- Liiuoo ui six or seven years ago, in the opinion of Fielder Jones, man ager of the St. Louis Federals. "This decadence Is mental rather than physical," said the former White Sox star. "I have heard it asserted, how ever," he continued, "that some people are of the opinion that the physical condition of the players is not what it was in the past. This I think is a mistake." Players who pull oft the "smart stuff" on their own initiative are the kind that are wanted by the Federal League, says Jones. He also said they were becoming rather rare in the East. "One trouble nowadays is that the players are making the game a busi ness rather than a profession," he con tinued. "When I broke in we played for small money and were glad to get It. Our one thought was to make good by mastering the game. Now the majority of players think more about the next payday than the next play day. On the old championship White Sox squad we used to think out plays of our own and perfect them. "I notice also," said Jones, "that the players seem to lack the knack of do ing things for themselves that the old timers had. They seem to be afraid to start anything themselves." Jones, however, does not blame the player alone, but thinks that some man agers spoil good players by not allow ing them to offer suggestions, or not accepting suggestions offered by the players. Individuality has been sacrificed to the perfection of team play, and a player is but a mere cog in the machine thinks Jones. He is gradually becoming a mere mechanical contrivance in the hands of the manager, it Is declared, permitting the club leader to do all the thinking for him and seldom having a thought throb of his own. "It is a fact, and one not pleasant to contemplate, that there are not as many smart ballplayers as there were six or eight years ago," said Jones. The Dalles Blanks Dufur, 6-0. DUFUR, Or., Nov. 29 (Special.) The Dalles defeated Dufur here today In a football game by a score of 6 to 0. PRISONERS' BUREAU OPEN Red Cross Abroad Has Plan to Keep Track of Captives. CHICAGO, Nov.22. The Red Cross has entered a new field in the European war in its work of saving life, preventing- suffering and aiding in all pos sible ways the non-combatants. It has opened a "phisoners bureau" for the aid and comfort of prisoners of war. When a man is captured in battle he is usually marked on his company roll "miesing" and his family has no means of knowing whether he is dead, wounded and in the enemy's hospital or In a military prison. The new bu reau established by the Red Cross Is doing much to relieve this situation of its horrors by passing letters to and from prisoners of war. . 1 1 V: LEAGUE TO VOTE ii Franklin School Likely to Be Welcomed With Open Arms at Thursday Session. 21 GAMES WOULD RESULT Basketball and Soccer Practice to Be Begun This Week Two Foot ball Sqnads Name Captains and Others Soon Will. BY EARL R. GOODWIN. Whether or not the new Franklin High School will be admitted to the Portland Interscholastic League will be decided at a meeting of the board of directors to' be held at the Multnomah Club Thursday afternoon: . S. F. Ball, principal of the Franklin High, has made formal application to Joseph A. Hill, secretary of the league. From all appearances the new school will be taken in with open arms and this will make seven Institutions rep resented. Franklin High has a basket ball team as wen as a soccer eleven and it wants to be entered. In the schedules which will be drawn up at the coming gathering. The football squad of the southeast side high was rather light this Fall and did not have enough experience to warrant competition with the larger schools. As a result It was not con sidered in the gridiron sport of the circuit. Twenty-one games will have to be played in order to complete a schedule if the Franklin High is entered and almost three months will be required before the last contest is staged. At present the Fast Side and the West Side are equally represented at a league meeting, but after next Thurs day it Is almost a certainty that the East Sidcrs will have four members on the board to the West Slders three. Washington High, Jefferson High and Columbia University make up the East Bide board and Lincoln High, Portland Academy and the Hill Mili tary Academy form the West Side rep resentatives. Father Boland, of Co lumbia University, is president of tho Portland Interscholastic League and Joseph A. Hill, of the Hill Military Academy, is the secretary. m w m Basketball and soccer practice of the various athletic teams of the league will be begun in earnest the latter part of this week now that the 1914 foot ball season is a thing of the past. Al ready basketball enthusiasts of sev eral of the schools have been in the gymnasiums limbering up for the com ing strenuous season. Jefferson High School lost only two monogram men from the last basket ball squad, Hendrickson and Turner Neil, and with MacLeod Maurice, Burke, Cooper, Everett and Captain Bonney, Coach Harper Jamison can be looked upon to hold its own with any of the other organizations. The Hill Military Academy has never placed a soccer squad in the field, but according to several members of the school the. matter of getting up an eleven Is being given some deep con sideration. The result in all probabil ity will be the organization of a team to participate in the British sport. The football squads of the local league have elected their 1915 captains, "Spud" Normandin receiving the honor from his Washington High teammates and William Lewis, of Portland Acad emy, winning the distinction there. Columbia University will not select Its 1915 general until the smoker to be given in the school gymnasium De cember 16. The smoker is an annual thing at the university and all the members of the school look forward to the bouts with a great deal of expectation. All the prominent athletes of the Institu tion are seen in action, either In box ing or wrestling matches. Jefferson High School will choose Its next captain sometime this week, and It looks like the'-place will be taken care of by John' Kennedy, Moe Sax or Steve Wilcox. Kennedy appears to be the logical candidate, as next year will make his fourth and last season of Interscholastic League football. He has been one of the mainstays of the East Side High. Jimmie Richardson, who umpired In the Western Tri-State League and handled the indicator in the Northwest ern Conference baseball games. Is keeping In condition to referee basket ball matches this Winter. Jimmie has received requests to officiate at sev eral games in the Willamette Valley and he Is working out each night to be in the best possible shape. Through the courtesy of J. George Keller, secretary and treasurer of the Portland Ice Hippodrome Company the visiting Ashland football squad ' and Coach Klum were guests at the ice rink Saturday night The visitors were on their way home from The Dalles, where they played Thanksgiv ing day. AMATEUR ATHLETICS THE Ladd Grammar School football team downed the Thompson School eleven 7 to 0 on the West End grounds. Forward passes and trick plays fea tured the contest, and the winning score was made on an old-fashioned delayed pass. For the Ladd squad Elliot. Mor rison and Melton starred, while Dursee and MacRae were the only ones who played up to their old form. The Christian Brothers Business Col lege Junior basketball aggregation wants games with quintets averaging 115 pounds. For particulars call Edwin Houck between 6 and 8 o'clock at night at Woodlawn 1340 or C H37. Captatn Lillard, of the Lincoln High School basketball squad Is happy these days, as all but one of last year's regu lars are back at school and will turn out for active practice tomorrow. Cae sar, Waldron, Schlldknecht, McAllister and Captain Lillard are letter men, and Xavler D. Clerln Is the only one miss ing. One of the big surprises of the Port land Junior Athletic Association came yesteraay in me aeteat or the Alblna Juniors by the Westover Juniors on the Twenty-fifth and Raleigh streets grounds. The score was 39 to 0, and at no time did the Albina crew have a lookln, according to witnesses. Mar tie McNichols was the big star for the losers, while the playing of the West over backfield. Youmans, Mclnnis. King and Smith was a revelation. Tom Lout tet now manages the Westover repre sentatives. East Portland trimmed the' Mohawks 12 to 0 on the East Twelfth, and East Davis streets grounds. Stemler and Meyers each crossed the Mohawks' goal Una for the touchdowns. JEW HIGH ENTERING Q 77.

HOWARD MAY BE DROPPED Dillon May Lead Seals, Absteln Take Charge of Angels, Hogan Go to Sacs, White Pilot Venice and Christian Lose Out. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 29. (Spo cial.) If all the rumors and Intima tions making- the rounds come true, the Pacific Coast League In 1915 will witness tbe biggest shakeup of man agers In the history of the oreanlza tion. Only one team leader. Walter fttccredle. of Portland, has not been mentioned as likely to transfer the scene of his activity, and it Is well known how Walter tried to break Into tan Francisco to show local fans how he manages to win pennants so con sistently. The other five managers have been slated to be transferred or deposed. The slate, according to stories that have sprung up in different quarters, Is as follows: Del Howard, of Sar Francisco, to be succeded by Frank Dillon, of Los Angeles, when Henry Berry purchases the fceal3. Bill Absteln to be promoted from captain of the Angels to succeed Dil lon. Happy Hogan to take charge of the newly-organized Sacramento team. Doc White to follow Hogan as skip per or tho Venice club. Christian's Place Uncertain. In addition. Tyler Christian's post tion with the Oak3 is uncertain, if the club Is on the market, as has been re ported on numerous occasions. Harry Wolverton, deposed Sacra mento-Mission magnate, has declined several managerial Jobs, and it Is understood he Is working to procure the control of another ball club. Wol verton and his partner. Lloyd Jacobs, as owners of the Sacramento club last season, are said to have dropped $46, 000. Wolverton refuses to step back into the ranks aa a manager and be lieves that he Is entitled to more con sideration by the Coast League pow-ers-that-be. The probable transfer of Frank Dil lon to San Francisco to take Del Howard's place at the head of the Seals has stirred up a deal of discussion. Henry 3erry intimates that he would like to have Dillon continue htm. but adds that perhaps the men who will buy the Angels will not let him go. Del Howard's contract has another year to run, 'and that may block the plans of the new owners regarding Dillon. Hokib'i Switch Seems Certain. Hap Hogan's switch to Sacramento has been settled, if the Capital City fans can satisfy Hap's salary demands. Four players have been mentioned fre quently to succeed Hap with Venice. Captain Dickie Bayless seemed to have the inside track in mtdseason, but it develops that Doc White has been groomed for the position. Announcement had been made that Tyler Christian had come to terms to remain as the Oakland manager, but then the probability of the club chang ing hands was mentioned. As a re suit Christian's future again became uncertain. President Baum says that he thinks the Pacific Coast League next season undoubtedly will adopt the single umpire system, but, if financial condi tions improve, more diamond officials will be employed. Four of last sea son's umpires probably will be re tained, as one will be needed as a sub stitute In case of disability.
