Dan Foster, well-known Portland athlete while with the Washington High School, will be seen in action to morrow night with the University of California basketball team against the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club toss ers in the club gymnasium. Dan Is playing center on the visiting squad. This is his second season with the Berkeley team. Manager Harry Fischer had the winged "M athletes out for the final workout last night against the Jeffer son High schoolers. From all indications the club representatives will put up a mighty stiff front in the opening game of the 1916 season for the locals. Captain Toomey. who holds number 1. haa placed Clayton Sharp at forward along with John Rossman. while George Dewer will be opposed to Dan Foster at center. Captain Toomey and Clarence Twining are the guards with uiuy Lewis, former all-around athlete of the Lincoln High School, as the relief for wsrd. The present trip of the California team marks the beginning of a new era In basketball at the University of Cali fornia. For several seasons the Berkeler boya have been the winners of the California-Nevada intercollegiate league and the best club teams in the state have had a hard time holding their own with the collegers. This is the first time the University of California has had the opportunity to test the mettle of the Northwestern teams and the contest will aid In com paring the style of game played in California with that staged In Oregon. The result of the trip will determine whether or not basketball is to be recognized as a major sport by the Big "C" Society of the university. - The contest will start promptly at S:30 o'clock, according to Manager Fisher, and arrangements have been made to handle a record breaker crowd. The University of California squad slong with Manager Killduff arrived on the steamer Bear yesterday afternoon. The Southerners are billed to meet the famous Dallas contingent at Dallas. Or, tonight. The Dallas team claims a record of not los ng one game on Its own floor in the last 12 years. SOMMEHS AND MIEBCS TRAIN Llght-Heavywelghts Take on Several 3len In Preparation for Clash. Both Al Sommers and Earl Miebus put In a strenuous day at their re spective training quarters yesterday, getting ready for their battle in the Roi.e City Athletic Club next Tuesday night Miebus went through nine rounds with Tad Derbyshire, Muff Bronson and Walter Knowlton as the brunt of the blows, while Sommers was content with mixing for eight rounds with Roy Kendall and Billy Mascott. A splendid card has been arranged for the night's entertainment- Because of the importance of the outcome of the Mlebus-Sommers battle the two ath letes will decide this afternoon juat who will be the third man in the ring when they clash. Mlebua lost the light-heavyweight title ot the Northwest last month to Sommers and now he Is trying to re gain his lost laurels. Four prelim inary bouts have been secured for the occasion. HANK GOWDV, of the Boston Na tionals, who was the big star of the 1914 world's series, because of the way he batted out doubles, triples and home runs at critical points In the four'games. was not so much in the limelight last year. During a game in Philadelphia Gowdy was struck out by Grover Alexander, the star pitcher of the Philadelphia Nationals. A couple of runners were on the bases at the time, and a hit by Gowdy at that stage would have put an entirely different complexion on the game. a a A Philadelphia fan, evidently an American League supporter, remember ing the big part Gowdy had played in the defeat of the Athletics, decided that the striking out of Gowdy in a pinch offered a chance for a little re venge at the expense of the big catcher. As Gowdy neared the Boston bench the fan, who was sitting close by, shouted: "You don't seem to be hitting as well as you did in the world s series, not quite so lucky. Naturally, ne ex pected a big laugh, but Gowdy bad all the better of the argument, when he replied: "Don't forget I am now bat ting against big league pitching." e e e Wallv Pchang will do most of the catching for the Athletics next season. This information comes straignt irom Connie Mack. Schang did very little catching last year, which caused much surprise among fandora. tor in Schang was the catching sensation of the country, and In 1914 Be was also rated a most capable receiver. a a a Schang was used at third base and In the outfield the greater part of last season. Mack hoped he would develop Into a star third sacker. It seemed for a time that he would prove to be just the man for the so-called difficult corner. For about a month Schang ni.veri third base like a regular. In juries to several of Mack'a outfielders msde It necessary tnat renins shifted to the outfield. When it was possible for Mack to Bend Schang back to third, he looked like an entirely dif ferent player. In his second trial he had a great deal of trouble looking after the position, which he played so brilliantly at the start. As an out fielder Wally had nearly as much trouble as at third. a a in, discussing Schang's possibilities Mack made the following comment: -Because of W ally s great speea anu bla batting ability. I wanted to be able lo use him In every game if possible. He was orlgtnslly an Infielder. I hoped to make a third baseman out of him. and if not a third baseman, then an outfielder. I knew that Schang was a great catcher, but usually one is lucky If a, catcher works In half of the games. It was early apparent to me that Stchang's proper position was bark of the bat. However. It was also evident that my team couldn't possibly flnisn A Shoe for "Overweight" Men Nettleton's "Tarsic" Last CN and worth it! Plenty of room for five toes. Broad sole. Broad flat heel.
