WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE,
PULLMAN, Nov. 9. (Special.) When
Coach Dietz says that his team is all
broken up by injuries he is not start
ing a bear story, for the facts are on
hand.
What should have been but a scrim
mage for Washington State against
Idaho was really a struggle won at
Treat cost, for three valuable parts to
Dletz's machine have been shattered
beyond all repair in time for Satur
day's game with Bezdek's men. Added
to broken bones in the right shoulders
f Loomis and Zimmerman, both all
star prospects, is the injury to Guard
Finney's foot. not discovered until
yesterday. Three bones are broken
and if he plays Saturday against the
Oregon line he should acquit himself
beautifully for he would be rein
forced with two hardwood crutches
with which to repel the oncoming Ore
gon backs.
Zimmerman May Play.
Physical Director Bohler. respected
eustodian of the physical condition of
the eleven, has declared emphatically
that neither Loomis nor Finney would
be in condition to participate Satur
day, but that he had hopes of start
ing Zimmerman. L. Hanley. rresn
man, will attempt to fill Loomis' berth
and Hamilton, another first-year man,
will start at guard in place of Finney.
Two inches of snow fell yesterday
and Rogers Field is today a lake of
mud and water. Although hampering
practice, the condition of the gridiron
mav Drove a blessing, for it is proba'
ble that such conditions will be met
on the Portland gridiron this week
end.
Oregon's Defente Lauded.
In an interview today Coach Dietz
remarked that Oregon played one of
-the best defensive games at critical
periods against Washington that hp
had ever witnessed. A slow field,
when tho locals tangle with Oregon
Saturday, may mean that Captain
Bangs and R. Boone, who will be de
pended on to advance the ball consist
ently, will be no more valuable than
mediocre halfbacks. "I am expecting
Durham to come through for me Sat
urdav." said the chief, "with a couple
of drop-kicks. If the team plays well
defensively and advances the ball to
within 30 yards of the uprights, then
I am going to depend upon Durham
to boot one over."
Arrangements are complete to run
a special train carrying the college
band, students and townspeople to
Portland, the train to leave Thursday
evening. By means of donations from
local business firms, student dances
and funds procured from the college
it has been possible to assure the 40
niece band's presence, which will be
augmented by at least 200 rooters.
This campaign has raised student
fervor here to a white heat.

Losers of Early-Season Game Hope

he hopes to reverse the decision.
Manager Paul Naugle, of the Colum

MISIMPRESSIOX IS CHARGED
National Ball Commission President
Points to Injury Compensation.
CINCINNATI. Nov. 9. August Herr-
man, chairman of the National Baseball
Commission, today issued a statement
replying to a request by David Fultz,
president of the Baseball Players Fra
ternity, that some players' contracts be
changed to prevent players injured in
the service of a club being suspended
until compensated during their illness.
Mr. Herrman s statement says, in
part:
"This request on the part of Mr.
Fultz, in my Judgment, is wholly un
warranted and uncalled for, and cre
ates a false impression in the minds
of tho baseball public, to-wit, that they
may be given to understand that the
practice now is that players injured in
tho service of a club, after a certain
period, may be suspended without com
pensation. This is not a fact, and tho
commission has at all times ruled that
a player must be. compensated when
injured in the service of a club, re
gardless of the length of the period of
his injury, or else be given his releaso
after a certain period."
ALBANY IS OCT OP FOOTBALL-
College Decides to Quit When. Players

ALBANY, Or.. Nov. 9. (Special.)
Because of injuries which made it prac

team and because of insufficient finan
cial support Albany College has dropped
football for the rest of this season. Only
two games have been played this year.
Hunter, Archibald. Stewart and Austin
are now incapacitated and Hart has
left school.
Albany has played Willamette Uni
versity and the Oregon Agricultural

PARSONS IS OUT
OF AGGIE GOflTEST
Oregon's Sensational Half Is
to Appear Here Against
Washington State.
CONFERENCE MEN DECIDE
Battle on MuItnoniaU Field Saturda)
Is Not Affected Because Other
Eleven Is 'Sot Member of
Intercollegiate League.
Johnny Parsons. Oregon's sensational
halfback, has been declared ineligible
to compete against the Oregon Aggies
on November 25 at Corvallis. After
the Coast conference eligibility com
mittee had refused to indorse iu first
protest, the University of Washington
dug up evidence that Parsons had not
completed his final semester at Oregon
in the Spring of 1915.
This is a breach of the new Coast
conference rules and the committee an
nounced yeeterday that it would have
to rule against Oregon on this new
technicality.
There is no specific rule in the Pa
cific Northwest conference by-laws
covering the point, it is said, and Par
sons therefore will be eligible to play
against Washington State College Sat
urday on Multnomah Field. Washing
ton State is not a member of the Coaet
conference.
Decision Ie Announced.
Dean A. R. Priest, of Washington,
and Dr. A. D. Browne, of the Oregon
Agricultural College, are the members
of the advisory committee of the Pa
cific Coast conference. Dr. Browne
was a Portland visitor yesterday and
to an Interviewer admitted that the
committee had been forced to rule
against the Oregon star on the latest
evidence.
I voted in Parsons' favor in t"ie first
protest," said Dr. Brown. "The point
involved was whether Parsons' case
should come under the rule requiring
an athlete to complete his athletics
within five years 'of original date of I
entry into college. The rule was very
looselyframed and I could not see my
way clear to vote for the protest.
Record In 11113 Causes Action.
Just before the game at Eugene last
Saturday Washington submitted new
evidence showing that Parsons had
represented Oregon in a track meet
in the Spring of 191o. although he did
not complete the semester and the rec
ords show no credits. This is in mrect
contravention to both the letter and i
spirit of the new Coast rules.
Coming Just as it does before the
Oregon Aggie-Orgon game, I do not
like the position in which I am placed.
There are always those who Jump at
an opportunity to Impugn motives.
However, it ie the committee's duty to
decide disputed points on their merits
and I am forced to decide against Par
sons.
Statement Made Public,
Dr. Browne said that the Coast con
ference by-laws would be thoroughly
overhauled at the annual meeting this
coming Winter.
The advisory committee's statement
follows:
We find " that Mr. Parson registered at
Oregon regularly In September, 1914, for
his fourth year, having been In residence
during 1911-12. 1912-13. 1813-14. According
to the faculty athletic committee of Oregon
Mr. Parsons completed bis work for the first
semester of' 1914-15 In a satisfactory man
ner. The official records of the university
rive no evidence that Mr. Parsons reg
istered for the second semester of 1914-15
except that his record card shows him
marked at "withdrawn," but no date of
withdrawal is attached. Mr. Parsons him
self says that he has no memory of register
inie the second semester, but that be con
tinued to attend classes after the second
semester began. February 8. 1915.
He says that he feared that he would not
have sufficient funds to enable him to con
tinue in college, so he thinks that he did not
officially register. On April 10, 1915. moro
than two months after the opening of the
second semester, he represented Oregon in an
athletic meet" at Portland, and won first
place in the broad Jump. The Oregon Em
erahi. the college paper, under the date of
April 29, 1915. reports that Parsons was
leaving college for Alaska the next da
April 30. It, therefore, seemed that Par
sons had sufficient funds to remain In at
tendance through 11H weeks, but not enough
to remain for the five weeks necessary to
complete the semester.
Attendance Ih Not Doubted.
The advisory committee finds that both In
letter and in spirit Mr. Parsons was In at
tendance at the University of Oregon dur
ing the second semester of 1914-15; that
he has no credits for said semester; that
the conference agreement of the Pacific
Coast Intercollegiate Association, under the
heading "Intercollegiate Relations" major
D, No. 1, minor b, holds that a student to
be eligible to represent an institution in the
conference shall have passed 11
hours of
work for the semester of residence previous
to participation; tha the second semester
of 1914-15 is for Mr. Parsons the previous
semester of residence, since he was not at
college during the year 1915-16; that finally
in the light of these facts he is. therefore.
ineligible to represent the University of Ore
gon in any intercollegiate athletic relation
at any time during the first semester of
1916-17. Signed,
ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
Technically Oregon s victory over
California can be forfeited, it Is said.
although there it little likelihood that
California will request euch action.
Washington and Oregon played a 0-0
game last Saturday so this game will
not be affected by the disbarment of
Parsons.

3 HOCKEY STARS ADDED
FORMER TEAMMATES OF TOMMY
HURRAY JOIN UNCLE SAMS.
Loughlin, Marples and Irvin Get Credit
of Helping AYIn Allan Trophy
Cup for 1 14-1 5. v
Clem Loughlin, Stan Marples and
Dick Irvin. the three Winnipeg lion-
arch who are on their way to Join the
Portland Uncle Sams of the Pacifio
Coast Hockey Association, are former
teammates of Tommy Murray, the lo
cal sensational goal keeper. Along
with the late Del Irvine, Loughlin.
Murray, Irvin and Marples won the
Allan cup for the 1914-15 season.
The Allan cup is symoolic of the
amateur championship of Canada, ana.
to win the honor, the Monarchs of Win
nipeg were forced to play an elimina
tion tourney after having won Jhe
championship of the Winnipeg Hockey
League. All the athletes received
tempting offers to turn professional
after winning the cup, but Murray and
the late pel Irvine were the only two
to accept the contract offered by Man
ager E. H. Savage of the Portland club.
Both joined the Uncle Sams last Win
ter. That Dick Irvin will prove to be one
of the best and most consistent scor
ers in the Pacific Coast Ice Hockey
Association Is the opinion of Tommy
Murray. Irvin has been the leading scor
er In every league in wnicn ne nas Deen
seen in action, and he is certainly some
shooter when he gets within range of
the net. according to Murray.
"Marples and Loughlin are the pick
of the Monarchs. and they will be
strong additions to the Uncle Sams,"
says Tommy Murray. "Both have been
playing the game ever since they could
walk, and they are natural puck chas
ers. In all probability Loughlin win
bo used with "Moose" Johnson, while
Marples will be on the forward line."
A strange coincidence of the Portland
Uncle Sams Is that all the players lined
up for the 1916-17 team, with the ex
ception of Moose Johnson, were for
mer Winnipeg boys.

DENNY WILIE TO GO
McCredie Says Outfielder
Too Pugnacious.
Is
TRADE OF PLAYER PLANNED
Soutliworth, Nixon and Williams to
lie Kept as Nucleus for Out
field Wolverton Has Lines
Out for 3 New Men.
BY ROSCOE FAWCETT.
Because Denny Wilie possesses too
much of that "fighting spirit." so
highly prized by baseball managers,
tho little Portland outfielder may find
himself on a new club next Spring.
Manager McCredie practically has de
cided to make some deal for his stel
lar gardener.
This announcement may occasion con
siderable surprises in baseball circles,
for Wilie is a corking hitter, a good
fielder and far superior on the bases
o Billy Southworth, one of his running
mates.
Denny's fault is his pugnaclousness.
McCredie doesn't mind his verbal tilts
with the umpires so long as he doesn't
get himself chased to the clubhouse.
Mack realizes the value of harmony
mong his players. however. and
Wllie's failing is his Inability to get
along with his teammate.
Although the fans were not aware
f the discord, Wilie had trouble with
everal of the Beavers last Summer.
Wilie and Sothoron had several em
bryonic rows and , on one - road trip
Wilie and Nixon hooked up In combat
and Wilie nursed a black eye for sev
eral days thereafter.
Off the playing field the Texan Is
mild-mannered and thoroughly gentle
many, but once the umpire calls "Play
ball." Wilie loses all poise and is will
ing to fight at the least provocation.
Manager McCredie has no plans tor
Wille's future except that he is in
auest of a good trade for him.
Southworth, Williams and Nixon likely
will be retained as a nucleus for the
917 outfleld. If Williams knew how
to keep himself in condition he would
be a valuable player, b allure to keep
in condition cost him jiis Job with
Cincinnati in the National League last
year and it almost ran him out of the
Coast League late in the Fall.
Harry Wolverton has equipped his
Madera County home with long-dls
ance telephone service, and the San
Francisco manager expects to complete
his next year's team over the phone
wires.
"Give us a catcher, a new pitcher
and a good outfielder to take Bodie's
place when he goes to the Athletics
and we will be in good shape. said
Boss Wolverton the other day In San
Francisco.
