THE MORXING OREGONIAJT, TTTESDAT. DECE3IBER 26, 1916.
OREGON REGULARS
ALL TO BE IN FRAY
Bezdek's Crack Machine Not
Impaired and Promises
Penn Mighty Battle.
"DOPE" NOT ALL FOR EAST
Victory for Quakers by No Means
Certain Loo mis Thought to
Have Done No Harm to
Westerners Chances.
BY ROSCOE FAWCETT.
The TTniversity of Oregon football
team will take the field against Penn
sylvania on New Year's day Just as it
lined up against Washington and
against California !n two of its big
frames of the year. This was Hugo
Bezdek's parting Injunction when the
lemon-yellow athletes left Eugene last
night for Pasadena.
There were rumors that Captain
Beckett would remain in the backfleld
against Penn. Beckett was switched
to a halfback berth when Johnny Par
eons' ineligibility for coast conference
rames barred nim from the Oregon
Aggie contest. Beckett did sterling
work In that imbroglio.
Beckett Again at Tackle.
Evidently Coach Bezdek thinks the
200-pounder is more badly needed at
tackle however, hence his decision to
move him up to the scrimmage front
again.
Mitchell's bad ribs are said to be
right again and the brick-topped lad
will be back at end again.
Oregon's lineup for New Year's will
be as follows: Mitchell, left end; Beck
ett, left tackle: Snyder, left guard:
Itlsely, center; Spellman, right g-uard;
Bartlett. right tackle; Tegart. right
end; Shy Huntington. quarterback;
Parsons, left half; Montelth. right half:
Ilollis Huntington, fullback.
Despite the fact that the bettors all
up and down the coast seem to favor
Pennsylvania by anywhere from 6 to 15
points, the Oregon boys are well
coached, brawny, and as scrappy an
outfit as any the coast has seen In
teveral seasons, and these odds seem
too lopsided.
"Dope In Fickle.
Last year the "dope" figured Brown
tTniversity to defeat Washington State.
Yet. when the final whistle sounded
the score showed Washington State
victorious. 14-0. Oregon beat practi
cally this same Washington aggrega
tion this Fall in Portland. 12-3.
Dope is fickle and capricious and In
an tnterseetional game like the one Im
pending there really Is no post to
anchor it to.
Some of the fans are wondering how
much harm the alleged treachery of
Loomis. of Washington State, could do
the Oregon team's chances. Loomis is
in the East and Is said to have be
trayed valuable Oregon strategic se
crets to the Quakers.
No need for worry! Gun Zlejrler.
line coach at California, saw the Ore
gon team play three games during the
season and lie has been back helping
Pennsylvania for several weeks. Zieg
Ier is a Pennsylvania graduate. Zleg
ler in three games certainly ought to
know everything that Loomis could ab
sorb in one game.
Loomis' alleged perfidy will hurt
Only himself.
4ame to De Played on Turf.
The New Year's day game will be
played at Tournament Park, In Pasa
dena, which has the reputation of be
ing the best turf field on the Pacific
Coast. The grandstands seat 24 000

This same Tournament field will be
used in March by the Chicago Cubs for
baseball training purposes. The Cubs
are scheduled to leave Chicago on Feb
ruary 25 In a special train de luxe.
.Nearly 300 Oregon football fans are
expected to be in Pasadena for the
frame. Ben Selling is one prominent
Portland man who will be In the root

noon on the Shasta Limited.

Qulnn was the only Vernon pitcher
against whom the 1916 Salt Lake Coast
League team could win more than two
frames, but Quinn was also one of the
three Vernon pitchers, each of whom
piled up five victories against the Bees
for the season.
Quinn won five and lost three games
against Salt Lake for the season. Hess
won five and lost two; Fromme won
five and lost one; E. Johnson and
Mitchell each won four and lost two
against the Bees.
G. Johnson, Arellanes and Decan

won one and lost one: G. Johnson won
one and lost two, and Arellanes won
none and lost one.

HOLDOUT RISBERG
IS INCONSOLABLE
Former Vernon Player Insists
He Will Retire Rather Than
Accept Contract.
PAY LESS THAN ON COAST
Comiskey Tries to Sign ex-Tiger
Star at Less Money Than Ho
Received From MaierHam
Patterson on Stiilhnnt.
"Swede" Risberg, late of the Vernon
Tigers and just now nominally the
property of the Chicago White Sox, is
one holdout who says he iuticls to
stay put.
You're going to remark In a whisper:
"That's what they all say."
But the important phase is that, no
matter whether he stays firm or falters,
the Pacific Coast League innelder Is
Just at present In the frame of mind
to refuse all overtures from the Middle
West.
"Honestly," he Is quoted in San
Francisco as saying, "I'd be ashamed
to tell you what Comiskey offered me.
Why, it's no more than tip money. It's
not anywhere near what the Vernon
club has been paying me, and I can
give It to you straight that Ping Bodle
wouldn't have any reason to kick at
$3000 a year If he read over my con
tract. . "It came to me before our own sea
son closed, and I Just naturally threw
it in the waste basket and forgot all
about it.
"I could tell from the tone of the
letter and the money offered me that
Comiskey isn't particularly Impressed
with my ability as a baseball player.
Also it hasn't bothered him, appar
ently, because the contract has not
been returned. I dldnt' bother to an
ser such an offer as came to me, and
I will let it go for a long time.
"What'll I do? There are other ways
of earning a living than playing base
ball. Say, I can play in the bushes
on Sundays and holidays and pick up
as much money as Comiskey offered me.
"I wish there was a Federal League
running. Tou couldn't see me Jump
for the dust I would make. I was
foolish not to have gone to the Federals
when the chance came over a year ago.
One year under the old Feds would
have been better than three years with
the White Sox at Comiskey's starvation
wages."
Risberg tipped as well a story that
three weeks ago Hamilton Hardtoget
alongwlth Patterson came incognito
with the idea of looking over novices
around San Francisco. Patterson let no
one but Rieberg Into his coming and
disappeared no more nolser than he
arrived. ItisberK lives in San Fran
cisco.
The Bengal chieftain. It appears, is
preparing himself against the necessity
of carrying four novices. He inquired
as to several boys, but wound up by
signing Del Creepl, the North Beach
pitcher who formerly played with Ris
berg on the Telegraphs and other
teams.
Patterson talked with Risberg on
his own case and told the infielder that
Ed Maier would be mighty glad to re
turn the $4000 purchase price Just to
have the Swede with the club again.
But remember that Patterson made
that sort of a talk when Maler was
still owner of the team, and it Is likely
to be a different story, now that Tom
Darmody and Arthur Flsk are In the
saddle.
Even Patterson himself may find It
difficult to hold tight to his Job with
out attempting to save any of his ball
players. Work on getting the San Francisco
ball park into shape Is slower than was
expected and it will probably be an
other week even with good weather
before the old stands are completely
torn down. Once the old buildings are
out of the way. the contractor will be
able to go ahead with a rush in provid
ing larger stands and better accommo
dations. s -

OAKS HOLD MAGGERT LOW
Angels' Veteran Outfielder Dreads to
Hat Against Oaks.
Karl Maggert. veteran Los Angeles
outfielder, has reason to dread the
series which bring him against his old
time club, the lowly Oakland outfit.
For Oakland has held Maggert to such
low batting averages In the last three
years that It has come to be about a
effective a Jinx club to him as Venice
and Vernon have been to his teammate.
Rube Ellis.
Maggert has never batted higher than
.261 against Oakland in any of the
last three seasons. Against each of the
other clubs he has had at least one
.300 season, although he had a tight
squeeze In 1915 against San Francisco,
when he just nosed in with .301.
Maggert's batting for three years
against Oakland follows:
Year. AB. It. H. Pet.

BURNS MAKES DARCY OFFER
Anstralian Asked to Take $30,000

Tommy Burns, ex -heavyweight cham

a couple of days ago, as follows:
"Welocme to America. Have several
letters from William F. Corbett say
ing that you would accept my offer of
$30,000 for three contests as soon as
you were able to get out of Australia
after the war.-
Burns seems to think that he has a
chance to land Darcy for the three bat
tles, as he knows him well. Last night's
telegram was sent in care of Robert
Edgren. on the New York World.
To an outsider, however, it appears
that Burns has not much chance, for
Darcy will receive little less, it any.

What Is Conraget
"You have written." observes a non
combatant, "many times about courage.
But what, after all. Is courage?"
Courage of the right sort is a blend.
It Is the patience to develop skill, the
will to go on against whatever odds,
the determination to fight on through
and the power that comes from know
ing one might be beaten but not
broken. And this is only a starter.
"What chance has Ty Cobb to last
20 seasons In the big league?" queries
an exchange. At the end of 12 years
Ty is batting .371, two points above his
grand average for the full distance.

Nineteen hundred and sixteen may
have started thrills in. a number of
directions, but Its award to ring his
tory has amounted to less than nothing.
In the course of the year Jess Wll
lard, the heavyweight champion, has
drifted through one 10-round match:
briefly, he has put In exactly 30 min
utes of his time defending his title.
Welsh, the lightweight champion,
has taken no risks of any sort. The
whole year, in all weights, has been
griven over to the 10-round. coin-collecting
art. with only a scattered few
meetings worthy of even passing atten
tion. Those . in charge of the game,
fighters and promoters, have driven it
as far backward as they could, and by
the end of another year, unless a big
change occurs, their wreckage will be
about complete.
The East wrested the tennis cham
pionship from the West this closing
season, but In golf the Atlantic sea
board was repulsed with considerable
slaughter, with both the amateur and

Is no longer winning baseball pennants
nor football titles, but her place as a
golfing stronghold has become fixed,

Yet he had only had one pitcher able

Two heavyweight bouts are on the
card to be presented at the Rose City
Athletic Club Thursday night, featur
ing "Muff" Bronson and Lloyd Madden
in the main event. The tilts will be be
tween Frank Kendall and Jack Simms
and Ben Bordsen and Jack Graham.
Kendall will be getting the acid test
in the clash with Simms. It will be
remembered that this pair met some
time ago when Mike Butler's protege
won decisively. The big Iceman has
been clamoring for a return engage
ment since. He Is in fine fettle and
his friends believe that Simms will be
surprised.
There Is no use In saying that Ken
dall has not been put down by the fans
as a flivver. He went East last Win
ter, winning a bout from Frank Heg
ney and losing to Andre Anderson, of
Chicago. He secured a lot of publicity
all over the country while serving as
the chief sparring partner of Charles
Francis Moran when he prepared for
both Jess Willard and Jack Dillon.
After Kendall's poor showing with
Slms he lost a great number of ad
rrsVrs, but hopes to regain them all
Thursday night.
Weldon Wing, who meets Jockey
Bennett Thursday, made a big hit In
Seattle by defeating "Bud" Ridley on
his recent trip there. He lost a close
decision to George Ross later. Ha will
do battle with Jockey Bennett, who
can still box. despite the fact that be

"Muff" Bronson, the sensational
Portland schoolboy, will enter the ring

of San Francisco, have been tentatively
matched to box the main event for the
Western Athletic Club at the Eleventh

Flanlgan, Bronson's handler, could not
see his way clear to let "Muff" meet
Pelslnger at such an early date, so
Mascott was substituted. Billy should
give Pelsinger a great battle.
Joe Benjamin and Leo Cross have
left for Spokane, where they meet Billy

next Thursday night.
Frankle Sullivan will box Jack

Lewis will put Santel out of the run

Jim Buckley is saying that If jess

Eastern experts are busy picking op
ponents for Leslie James Darcy. The
selections range from Jess Willard to

THERE are two men of Les Darcy's
size In the United States who may
be considered worthy opponents for

other Jack Dillon. Willard is several

a scheme of unprincipled promoters.
When Frankie Burns, of Seattle,
squared off to meet Battling Ortega
at Dreamland Rink, San Francisco,
last Friday night there were oodles
of fans rooting for him to "clean" the
battler. Ortega is by long odds the
best welterweight developed In the
four-round game at San Francisco this
year, but he is unpopular. He stopped
Burns.
Ad Santel. so say his friends, has
gotten out of his head the idea that
he should take a chance with the box

thinking of boxing Willie Meehan In
Oakland.

Brown was more affable than usual.

from Athens.
Gus was surprised. He couldn't un

Brown called Gus aside. "Say." hr
