BY R0SC-0E FAWCETT.
That Stanford University will be
back playing American football next
Fall Is almost an. assured fact. It be
came known here yesterday.
Pr. E. 'J. Stewart, who directs ath
letic matters at the Oregon Agricul
tural College, is authority, for the
statement that Stanford already has
submitted to other big colleges of the
Coast a tentative outline for a new
Pacific Coast conference.
This being true, there can be no
doubt but that Stanford Is quietly
preparing to "bury tne dead.- mean
ing Rugby, and board the American
football bandwagon two years behind
Southern California and one year be
hind California.
If any new conference is organ
ised the organising will be done In
Portland on December I and 3. when
the Pacific Northwest conference will
hold its annual session. Formerly the
official conference sessions were held
every two years, but at the Spokane
meeting last Fall a change was made
providing for official and managerial
meetings every year.
Thus the college heads will be able
to reorganise and revamp their circuit
next month anyway they see fit. . Al
ready Stanford and California and pos
sibly Southern California will have
representatives here, so that the pro
posed Coast conference appears to be
ready for the springing.
Whether It will be a "Big Six. Big

and California and Stanford in Cali
fornia, providing stamora returns
American football.
Southern California Is stronger now
than California, and last year Occl
jt .-i .a romonn both defeated
Southern California and Whittler gave
the Los Angelans a n-it oin:.
From this it would seem there are
at least four teams in Southern Cali-
i .nmiah for entry Into
any new Coast circuit: two In Northern
California, and at least tour in me
Pacific Northwest.
Occasionally. Whitman College and
the University of Idaho sprout forth
with some mighty football teams, but
these Institutions have not the mate
rial from which to expect major league
ball every Fall. For this reason they
may not be Included in any widening
of "scope so far aa football con
cerned and football is the backbone
every college conference.
a
California's efforts to lure the fa
mous Washington State coach. "Lone
star" Diets, to Berkeley next Fall,
brings to mind that the Oregon Ag
gies will be fortunate If they arc able
to keep Coach Stewart another season.
According lo Petrolt newspapers. Coach
Stewart waa offered the coachship at
the Michigan Agricultural College on
his recent Jaunt Kast. when the Oregon
Aggies trimmed Michigan. 20-0.
Macklln, the present Michigan coach,
announced his resignation several
weeks ago. It Is also rumored that
California has made Stewart some sort
of ara offer, although Its exact nature
l not known. Stewart was around
with Manager Stroud, of California, at
the Seattle game Saturday.

Although we have often pointed out
that comparative scores don't amount
to a ptarmngen" ne.t In doping out
two rival football teams, certain Se
attle writers are crowing and claim
ing an "undisputed" championship be
cause Washington State ran up only
17 points on Whitman Saturday, while
Waxhineton defeated the Missionaries
17-') a while back.
Itosh!
With all due respect to Coach Bor
leske. of Whitman College, the game at
Pullman Saturday was played under
such extraordinary conditions that it Is
a wonder the Pullmanites won at all.
From five to six Inches of snow cov
ered the gridiron and a bitter wind
raked the field. The players were
forced to wear gloves to keep their
hands from freezing. . and forward
passes were out of the questloon. Only
one or two were even attempted.
Fumbles were frequent because of the
snow that clung to the ball and the
fooling was far worse than on a
muddy field.
Waahlngton State found It utterly
Impossible to open up and Whitman
players, realising their opportunity,
strove, like wild men to down their
husky opponents. For this they deserve
great credit. But. when an attempt
Is made to compare this 17-0 score
with Washington's, w may say it Is
bunk, and likewise bosh.
Perhaps the Seattle folk have over
looked this one: Washington State de
r i.iho al-O and Idaho defeated
Ocngaza S-3, yet the best Washing
ton could do was h Ul-T victory over
l.oncaia- poesn't look so good on that
foot, does it?

Sam Polan. famous Notre Pame
tackle. officiated lla the Whitman
Washington Slate embroglio. and Sam
stopped off In Portland Sunday Just
long enough to say a few kind words
about both Plets and Borleske.
"Borleske deserves great credit for
tha manner In which h has whipped
so green . and light a bunch Into
shape" aald he. "He has not a man
who will not fight to the last ditch
for him. and that, to my mind. Is 90
per rent of the game. Coach Diets
Impressed me as being a splendid fel

enjoy seeing his team meet any team,

Fred V. Rubien was re-elected secretary-treasurer,
and Kdward K. Baab,
Boston: Justice S. Weeks. New York,
and Fred V. Rubien succeeded them
selves as trustees for the coming year.
The report of Secretary-Treasurer
Rubien showed that the union had a
thoroughly successful year financially.
Some rumored friction in regard to
the seating of delegates from the
Middle Atlantic Association was averted
by the parties most concerned bavins
come to a satisfactory agreement be
fore the meeting began. The dissen
sion was caused by a contention as to
the right of-proxies being voted at the
election of delegates and alternates in
the middle Atlantic division, and the
delegates in the meeting made it clear
that proxies could not be used under
the rule. ... ,
An appeal was made on behalf ot
Abel R. Kiviiit, of the Irish American
Athletic Club, and Harry J. Smith, of
the Bronx Church house in the metro
politan division, for a rehearing with
a view to securing their reinstatement
to amateur standing. The hearing of
this appeal was entrusted to a com
mittee composed of President Turner.
F K Babb. Boston, and Gustavus 1-Kit-by.
New York, who will hear the
arguments of appeal in due course and
report to the National body in the near
future. It is expected that a mail vote

Ralph Gruman will have a different
kind of a boxer to deal with tonight in
the ring at the Rose City Athletic Club
when he hook up in a six-round set-to
with Tommy Clark.
Knowlton and 0"Brien. last two. were
rated as clever mitt artists, but Clark
has showed his intentions of mixing
things instead of endeavoring to outdo
Ralph in tripping the light fantastic
Tommy believes that a few hard Jabs
on the jaw may have the desired effect
on Gruman. He knows that it would
be useless to try and outbox Ralph In
a six-round bout.
The aemi-windup between Knowlton
and O'BrieW is furnishing much room
for speculation- It will be remembered

comment. These two middleweights
have met on a number of occasions
and always put up a battle royal. Be
tween the two there ia not much to
pick.
Billie Mascott. who was matched
with Jockey Bennett only to have the
bout fall through, will be seen in ac
tion against Shell McCool. The latter
seems to be a rather clever youngster.
He had no trouble in winning from
Frisbie at the last smoker across the
bridge.
The curtain-raiser will be furnished
by Muff Bronson and Bill Brown. Bill
has been going rather nicely of late
and as a result he has been pitted
against a good boy. They are both
lightweights.
As a special feature Manager Merrill
has decided to let Chris Theoples. the
middle and light-heavyweisht wres
tler, who claims he has never been de
feated, go on if any opponents can be
found for him. Just to show off before
the local public. Chris offers $50 to any
wrestler in Portland who will remain
in the ring with him for 15 minutes
without being thrown.

are nearing completion whereby a six
club circuit, composed of teams from
Tacoma. Vancouver, Spokane, the two
Montana cities and Seattle, will open
tne season.
"The Northwestern League practical
ly has completed plans for the 1916
season," declared President Robert I
Blewett tonight, on his return from the
baseball convention in San Francisco.
"We have been negotiating quietly
with Helena and Butte for the placing
of teams in those cities, and every
thing is satisfactory for their joining
tlie Northwestern League."
ii..,r if Portland reallv is
dropped from the Coast league and
wants to join the Northwestern, her
case will be acted upon by the di
rectors. And it may be that the league
would be enlarged to an eigni-ciuu
