Triumph Over South Portland Makes
Another Battle Necessary to De
cide Supremacy in Junior
Athletic League.
After two scoreless ties the 1914
championship of -the lightweight sec
tion of the Archer & Wiggins League
flnallv was settled yesterday, when the
Albina football team defeated the West
ern Amateur Athletic Club 8- to u on
the Montgomery Flats.
In a preliminary contest the West-
over Terrace Juniors triumphed over
the South Portland Juniors, of the Port
land Junior Athletic League. 7 to 6.
Both games were among the best
played by independent elevens this sea
son, and more than 3000 spectators were
on hand.
The winning score In the Aibina-
Western embroglio came In the last
quarter with about two minutes and a
half to play.
McKenna Makes .Touchdown.
Hughie McKenna, -captain-elect of the
Columbia University, was responsible
for the touchdown when he drew all
his opponents to one side of the line
and then dashed around th other end
for a 12-yard run.
"Hooligan" Nelson, fullback on the
Jefferson High School squad, startled
the natives by attempting a goal kick
37 yards from the goal line and two
yards from one of the sidelines. His
kick went high and straight, but hit
one of the uprights, causing it Jo re
bound into the gridiron.
Albina had the ball within one yard
of the Western goal posts on two other
occasions, but tlfe stonewall defense
of Coach Woodworth's men was too
much for the Albina battering rams.
Nelson, McKenna, Akervik and Ahearn
were easily the features for Albina,
while the club depended on Billy Mas
cott, Jones brothers, Graham brothers
and Hyberg to stop the onrushes.
Westover Scores First
In the opening affair Westover scored
the first touchdown in the second quar
ter and Blake made an easy goal kick.
The ball surged up and down the field
during the remainder of the quarter.
and it was not until the second half
that the South Pprtlanders were them
selves.
Bill Kurtz registered the only points
made by the losers, and he failed at
the attempted goal kick. The feature
of the contest was the 45-yard run by
Mclnnts after receiving the South Port
land kickoff in the second half. For
the most part the playing was in West-
over's territory during the melee, but
sensational flashes of speed kept Coach
McKeown's South Portlanders on the
Jump.
The Westover Terrace team must
play the Lincoln Park eleiyn next Sun
day before the final standings of the
league schedule can be known.
Victory to Settle Title.
Should Westover win the match the
1914 title of the Portland Junior Ath
letic League will go to the North Port
land squad.
"Brick Kurtz, .Bill Kurtz, LaKensn
and Bues were the stars for South Port
land, with Youmans, Smith, Mclnnis and
"Turkey" Carr for Westover.
Two or three gang fights were held,
but were stopped by Sergeant Lyons,
assisted by Officers Hepner, Odale, Hun
ter, Bender, P., Anderson, Owens and
Hirsch.
Following are the lineups:

other point was made by G. Gray, for
the winners, while Bloor was the only
man able to penetrate the club defense.
Another affair of the Portland ' Soc

this afternoon between the Archer &
Wiggins Weonas and the Portsmouth
aggregation. The contest will be
played on the Columbia University cam
pus, starting at 2:30 o'clock.
For Multnomah Shevlin, Ray Leonard,
Morris, Grier and Nixon were the stars,
while Bldbr and Rankin were the best
for the humbled contingent. W. Gray

Desnite the fact that the majority of

Improbable that such a change will be

Javelin throwers of world record
ability are evidently to be found among
the Australian aboriginals from reports
Just to hand of the throwing of spears
by the blacks at tne patriotic carnival
organized in Brisbane, Australia, by
Snowy Baker. In this field day natives
threw spears to distances that are so
far superior to the world's Javelin rec
ord that it makes them look sick.
One black chap Is reported to have
thrown a 12-foot spear a distance of
100 yards, or 300 feet. Compare this
with the world's record of 207 feet for
the Javelin and It looks as though the
Australians will be able to wipe nt
the best Javelin record ever made and
then leave it standing at a mark that
the whites will never be able to reacb.
Guy Nlckalls. the Yale rowing coach.
Is a pronounced advocate of rowing for
school boys, believing that It will de
velop them from underslsed weaklings
to men of strength. This be considers Is
proved by the case of the Kngllsh
school boys, who are benefited by par
ticipation in the sport. In speaking of
the subject he said:
"I was from a physical standpoint an
excellent example of what rowing could
do for an undersiied weakling. At 12
years of age I weighed only 70 pounds.
I began rowing at 14, when about (
pounds In weight and steadily gained
in weight until at 20 I weighed 170. I
am an example of thousands in Eng
land of what regular rowing exercise
will do for an undersiied coy. it aiso
has the advantage of other sports In
that a lot of rowing exercise can be
nut through In a very snort space pi
time, so that It will not Interfere In
any way with the studies."
