(Special.) A big run of steelhead salmon in the Umatilla River Is affording splendid sport. More have been caught than in any previous season for 15 or "0 years.

Four years ago 100.000 young steel heads were placed in a nursery pond on Meacham Creek and were fed until they were from three to five Inches in length before thoy were liberated.

Only one club in the National Hockey Association will make money this year, according to Georgo Kennedy, owner of tho Canadian Hockey Club. Kennedy made $12,000 last season, but ho says the Ottawas will he the only financial winners from the present series. The same situation exists in Pacific Coast hockey circles. Frank Patrick's Vancouver leaders likely will clear about J15.000 but neither Victoria nor Portland will pay big dividends. The magnates didn't expect to finish much to the good this year in Portland as the game was new here at the start ot the season. However. Portland will finish about even on the ledger, with a chance to clean up a couple of thousand if any post-season games arc played with the Eastern all-gtars or champions.

All interest in the athletic world at the university is centered around the coming busketball games with the Oregon Aggies. The first battle of a four-game series will take place in Corvalils Friday, while ih niirht following Coach Stewarts men will play a return game here.
