OREGON'S CHANGES
FOR 1917 BRIGHT
Steers, Strowbridge and Basil
: Williams Seem Able to Re
place Two Veterans.
AGGIES TO BE STRONGER
Washington to Lose Four Stars and
Dobie, but Xew Coach Will
Find Wealth of High-Grade
Men Pullman Weaker.
BY ROSCOB FAWCETT.
tvhen old man football rolls across
the horizon again next Fall the out
look for another championship eleven
at the University of Oregon should look
more rosy than ever.
Washington loses four stars. Captain
Seagraves. Don Abel. Mayfield and
Noble; Oregon two stars, Beckett and
Parsons; Washington State two, Dur
ham and Bangs, and the Oregon Aggies,
Brooke, who goes to the Army.
Beckett and Parsons, of the Oregon
team, are both wonderful athletes, but
Coach Bezdek is fortunate in having
men "to step into their shoes without
decreasing the efficiency of the ma
chine one whit.
Oregon lias Mighty Recruits.
These men are Steers, a 180-pound
halfback from The Dalles; Ed Strow
bridge. of Washington High, and Basil
Williams, who played tackle and end
when Beckett was shifted to the back
field in the' Aggie game.
Steers is said to be another Shy
Huntington. Strowbridge weighs about
170 pounds, and is possessed of an un
canny toe. Me won many games for
Washington High during his prepara
tory days.
In addition to these men Bezdek has
a flock of capable second-stringers. The
Oregon eleven this year should have
defemed Washington, as even the most
rabid Washingtonians who witnessed
the game will attest. With Gilmour
Dobie gone next year and with him four
such stars as Noble. Seagraves, May
field and Abel, Oregon's opportunity
to humble the purple should be fully
as ripe and juicy as it was last No
vember i.
Inasmuch as Coach Pipal used his
freshmen in several non-conference
games this past Fall the fans have
had a chance to size up the Oregon
Aggies' new talent.
Aggie Xew Material Good.
Ozbun Walker and George Busch
both of them 200-pound lads, with dash
and punch appear the most likely of
the lot. These two huskies gained their
experience in the Portland Interscho
lastic League. Walker captained the
Washington High squad, while Busch
nnd his brother, Frank, now tackle at
Whitman, were the star linemen at
Lincoln High.
Brooke will not Tfturn to the Oregon
Agricultural College, so either Walker
or Bush will play tackle perhaps both,
for that matter. The eligibility of
Conn and Beverley Anderson in the
backfield will enable Pipal to return
Bissett to the line, where he rightfully
belongs. Had Bissett been-in his reg
ular position against Oregon it is
doubtful if the varsity could have run
up as many as 20 points.
Moist, substitute at end. allowed hlm
plf to get drawn in every time the
varsity pulled a double pass 'on the
Aggies. Once Huntington fumbled out
In the open on the varsitj-'s eight-yard
line and then had time to pick the ball
up and run around end for a touchdown
without any hindrance at all.
If Meier Newman returns to Corval
TIs the Aggies will be in good shape to
Five their rivals a battle. Newman is
the only powerful plunger in the back
field. Seattle to Have Strong Team
Washington will be fully as strong
next year despite the' loss of the quar
tet above mentioned. Whoever succeeds
Dobie will have access to a bunch of
first-string men almost as heavy as the
varsity.
Faulk and Smith, ends, w-111 be hold
overs; Grimm is eligible for next year,
despite his mixup over examination pa
pers. Calkins and Tidball will be ready
to step into Mayfield's tackle. Mor
rison at guard will be back, and for
Seagraves' job a 200-pounder named
Charley Oilmer likely will be avail
able. Gilmer would have made the
team this year only for scholastic bars,
wick at center will again be eligible.
"Ching" Johnson. Bob Abel. HainB
worth. Murphy. Brlggs and Anderson
will be eligible for backfield duty,
rounding out a fairly representative
group of young athletes for the purple.
Washington State drew very little
good football talent this Fall and with
Durham and Bangs as absentees it is
not believed the Pullmanites will be
quite as strong as during the 1916 cam
paign. The University of California is get
ting the hang of American football, and
next Fall the "blue and gold" may
surprise some of the Coast conference
roaches. With the exception of Eddie
Mahan. California will retain its same
coaching staff. Head Coach Andy
Smith will return, as will his chief as
sistant. Gus Ziegler. Ziegler left Seat
tle for the East the other day to marry
a Pennsylvania co-ed of his college
days.
Mahan intends to enter some busi
ness in Boston. The two Pennsylvania
coaches at Berkeley sort of gave Mahan
the cold shoulder this Fall, it is said,
and Mahan left for the East, vowing
not to return to California.
CLUBHOUSE COMMITTEE NAMED
Hunt Club to Consider Union With
Golf Club or Building: Anew.
President Natt McDougall, of the
Portland Hunt Club, yesterday appoint
ed a representative committee of the
club to look into the matter regarding
a new clubhouse. The committee is
composed of Ralph W. Wilbur, chair
man: Miss Carrie Flanders, Mrs. A. M.
Cronin, Howard C. Charlton and Will
iam H. Warrens.
There are two propositions before the
club. One Is the offer from the Port
land Golf Club to unite the Portland
Hunt Club and the Portland Golf Club,
both to use the newly constructed
Portland Golf Club home, and the other
is to build a new clubhouse on the
Portland Hunt Club grounds at Garden
Home, and remain as a separate or
ganization. Another meeting will be
held today noon. ,
PITCHERS FATTEN ON OAKS
Nine Coast Boxmen Win 5 or More
Gaines 1'roin Cellar Champs.
Nine of the 1916 Pacific Coast League
pitchers fattened up their pitching rec
ords with five or more victories at the
expense of the tail-end Oakland club
during the season, with two Salt Lake
pitchers running off with most of the
honor. Fittery, of Salt Lake, had a
total of eight wins for the season oyer
Oakland, that being more victories than
any other pitcher recorded over any
one club. Plercey, his teammate, had a
record of seven wins over Oakland.
Sothoron, of Portland; Baum, of San
Francisco, and Fromme, of Vernon,
each pulled six victories out of their
series with Oakland, while Houck, of
Portland; Decanniere, of Vernon, and
Hogg and Standridge, of Los Angeles,
were the slabsters with five victories
over the tail-end squad,
Portland came the nearest of any
club to being a rival of Oakland for
the cellar position, so it is natural that
Portland should have won fewer games
than any other club from the also-rans.
Sothoron was Portland's best pitching
bet against Oakland, winning six and
losing only one for the season. Houck
won five and lost two games against
Oakland; Kelly won four and lost one;
Reuther won two and lost one. Noyes
won four and lost four in his games
against Oakland; Hagerman won two
and lost two; Higginbotham and Har-

TATION IS TOO HIGH.
Resolutions Adopted I'rging Cheaper
Rates for Movement of Pure
Bred Stock on Railroads.
Through a resolution adopted last
night at the meeting of the Wash
ington - Oregon - Idaho - Montana Swine
Breeders' Association at the Portland
Hotel, swine breeders are to bend every
effort to get a reduction of transpor
tation charges on pure-bred livestock.
The resolution named a committee of
men to appear before the examining
board of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission when it meets in Spokane De
cember 14 and present the complaint
of the breeders of pure stock.
The resolution as passed declared
that "the best interests of the livestock
ndustry of the Northwest demands
better transportation rates for the
movement of pure-bred stock by both
freight and express, and that this asso
ciation wire the Interstate Commerce
Commission at Washington, D. C, to
permit a hearing before the examiners'
committee on December 14 at Spokane,
and your committee suggests that the
toiiowing members of this association
be delegated to. appear before the hear

laraiaose and c. M. Meenach;
and that the majority of.the above be
authorized to prepare and to file bv
wire a complaint to the Interstate Com-
mrce Commission."
The resolutions committee also nre-
sented resolutions praying that rail
road companies give "greater consid
eration and more expeditious and care-
lui handling of shipments" to and from
livestock shows.
Another resolution urged the mem
bers of all swine-breeding associations
all over the United States to seek
greater appropriations from their re
spective organizations for the Western
livestock shows.
At the meeting following the banquet
last night, attended by 55 of the 150
members of the association in the four
Northwest states, C. M. Talmadge was
elected president for the ensuing year.

SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 5. (Special.)
Ice hockey began with a flying Jump
tonight at the Arena when the Seattle
Metropolitans showed some 3000 cheer
ing home folks that they are to be
reckoned with in the 1916-1917 race by
smearing the invading Portland Uncle
Sams in a wildly exciting battle which
topped the list of interesting exhibi
tions seen on the local ice. The score
was 4 to 3. -
There was so much speed and action
in the contest that they could not
crowd it all into three periods, for
when Referee Ion's whistle ended the
play- the score was a tie and another
session was demanded.
Blets Get Kxtra Point.
The Mets showed that they are a
pinch-hitting crowd by stepping out
and grabbing the victory after 11 in
nings of the fastest hockey ever served
up in this city. Riley sank the puck
after a neat pass from Foyston for the
winning goal.
Tonight's contest started with a bang
and ended with a hurrah. A thrill a
minute, with both sides dishing them
up, was the rule, and the big crowd
had plenty of chances to cheer.
Seattle won, but there was little dif
ference in the strength of the rival
aggregations. - The Metropolitans,
playing the aggressive game which had
marked their work all last season,
were met by a -team defensively their
superior. One Murray, who hangs out
around goal for the visitors, was the
principal fly in the Seattle ointment.
This youngster turned off hot shots as
fast as the Seattle men rained them in
at him. His work at goal, especially
in the opening session, was the fea
ture of the night.
Combination Play Equal.
On combination play the rivals were
about equal, although the Mets man
aged to keep the puck hovering around
the visitors goal much of the time.
But the locals went out and snagged
the points when they were needed
most, which is why they are out of last
place tonight.

SPOKANE PUCK CHASERS LEAD
Sizzling Contest Ends 6 to 4, With
Vancouver on Short End.
SPOKANE. Wash.. Dec. 5. f Special.')
Spokane's puck chasers went into the
lead in the race for the 1916 Pacific
Coast hockey championship tonight by
trimming Vancouver. 6 to 4. in a sizz
ling exhibition before a small, but en
thusiastic crowd. The Spokane team
came from behind as it did at Portland
a few days before, to snatch victory
from apparent defeat.
Lester Patrick's men completely out
played the Canadians, particularly in
the item of skating. Cook. McDonald,
Mallen and Genge literally skated rings
around their rivals. Particularly in the
closing stages was the superior speed
of the Spokane men much in evidence.
That the score was not larger was
due to some desperate saves by. Leh
man. Converts to the great Canadian game
were made galore. The next game will
see double the attendance, say the bug3
who whooped it up tonight. "We'll
have to tell our friends about this."
they said. Cyclone Taylor did not
greatly impress Spokane enthusiasts
alongside McDondald. whose spectacu
lar rushes had the local crowd wild.

FAIR BODY MEETS TODAY
North Pacific Association to Try
to Find Sufficient Support in
Cily to Guarantee Purees
for Speedway Kvents.
BY HARRY M. GRAYSON.
Portland may have a three-day com
bination harness and running meet
next August. Fred T. Merrill, manager
of the Rose City Speedway, will attend
the 16th annual meeting of the North
Pacific Fair Association, which will be
called in the second-floor parlor of the
Imperial Hotel at 10 o'clock this morn
ing. The delegates will be in session
two days.
"If we can get a handiul of enthusi
asts who will back the meet here to
start oft the circuit in Portland, entail
ing a small risk of not more than $2000,
we can have an excellent meet and
show that Portland is not entirely dead
as far as horse racing goes," said Man
agr Merrill last night.
Portland already belongs to the
North Pacific Fair Association. All
that is necessary to give Portland a
race meet is the guarantee of purses.
This city already belongs to the Amer
ican Trotting Association.
Portland Race Followers L,ax.
"It seems odd that small cities like
Chehalis, Baker and other points can
hold successful race meets, while Port
land, with upwards of 275,000 people
and the fastest track In the Northwest,
cannot at least pay expenses. If the
commercial bodies of Portland that
take excursions to Vancouver, Cen
tralia, Lewiston, Idaho, and other
points in the Northwest would spend
half the money and energy at home
Portland would give a fair and race
meet that would beat anything in this
neck of the woods outside of the regu
lar .state fairs.
"Charity begins at home, but it seems
not so in Portland, because it is doubt
ful whether or not you could get an
'excursion' of ten persons to go to the
Rose City Speedway to see Hal Boy
pace a mile in two minutes."
There will be about 70 delegates from
the various tracks in Oregon. Wash
ington, Montana, Utah, Idaho and West
ern Canada at the two-day session.
Representatives poured in last night.
The following are some of those who
have already reported:
Frank Meredith, president North Pa

At the meeting the association will

the programme, strive for uniformity
in exhibit classifications and will try
to help the individual fair managers in
the subject of amusements and attrac

RUGBY MAY BE DROPPED
SANTA CLARA LIKELY TO GIVE CP
GAME FOR REAL FOOTBALL.
Stanford. Facing Athletic Isolation,
Said to Be Weakening in Stand
Agsintit American Grid Sport.
Rumors are current that Santa Clara
College is on the verge of returning
to American football and as a result
Stanford University would be high and
dry on the rock of Rugby football. A
San Francisco paper came out with a
statement that sentiment on the Santa
Clara campus since the game with
Stanford U-njversity has not been
strengthened for Rugby.
With the admittance of Stanford Uni
versity in the Pacific Coast Intercol
legiate Conference at the annual meet
ing in Seattle last week, it may be
that Palo Alto will return to play
ing the only Fall sport. American foot
ball. Underlying the sudden switch in
sentiment towards real football by
Santa Clara College is a growing' re
sentment towards Stanford, arising
from many events which have trans
pired since the red and white "smeared"
the Stanford fifteen in the annual game
at San Francisco last month, accord
ing to the San Francisco press. That
Santa Clara has been the weak mem
ber of tlie alliance between the two
universities has been openly charged by
disinterested critics, it is said. That
this is true the undergraduates of Santa
Clara are unwilling to admit, and nei
ther are they willing to have the
charges flaunted In their faces by the
college journals.
Comparisons, they say. are odious,
and the arguments based on the rela
tive gates of the Stanford-Santa Clara
and Calif ornia-Washington games have
not redounded to the credit of the
Rugby teams. Santa Clara has been
accused of not carrying enough fol
lowing to make the annual game with
Stanford the "big game" and the hint
