SHY HUNTINGTON LAUDED Jugene Quarterback Rated as One of Greatest Players in America. Quakers Unable to Cope With Westerners in Passing. ' BT ROSCOE FAWCETT. , LOS ANGELES. Jan. 2. (Special.) One year ago, when Washington State football team crushed Brown, the sus picion was aroused that perhaps the East was not the whole gridiron pumpkins. Yesterday this suspicion became an established fact. Oregon's 14-0 rout of Pennsylvania proves that the Pacific Northwest must be as seri ously considered as any other section of the country where American foot ball is played. Pennsylvania emerged from the 1916 campaign with the reputation of being one of the strongest elevens in the East. Yet John Parsons, Captain Beck ett and other of the Oregon athletes ray that Washington and Washington State both are superior to the Quakers. "I have always been convinced of this," said Rhelnschlld. an old Michigan star, to the writer today. "When I coached Washington State several years ago the Northwest teams were on a par with those In the big nine, and football is even more highly de veloped on the Coast now." Mitchell Rated mm Beat In Land. Coach Bob Folwell. of Pennsylvania, proved himself a good sport by giving Oregon all credit for the win. Folwell and Andy Smith, the California coach, think Shy Huntington and Mitchell are among the greatest players in the game today. M , "Mitchell is the most wonderful end In the country." exclaimed Coach Smith last night curing the course of a posv mortem of the game. "I have never seen anybody handle himself better. He is great on de fense, great on offense, wonderful on punts and, in fact, a finished athlete.' The experts down here are "daffy over Shy Huntington. Shy performed f miltlesslv. He handled Berry's wicked spirals without a single bit of butte.--fingering and ran them back from 5 to 2ft vards nearly every time. Berry usually found himself nailed in his tracks. Defensively, Huntington was Penn's greatest stumbling block. The Quakers found it well-nigh impossible to keep a forward pass away from him. Huntington Brings Victory. Shy's individual efforts were in e-reat measure resDonsible for Ore- c-nn's two touchdowns. His brilliant run and forward pass to Tegart brought the first touchdown, and his intercepting of a long Penn aerial pass in the fourth period paved the way for Parsons' sensational 40-yard run. Shy bucked the ball over from the two vard line for this record score. One of the big surprises of the game to the writer was Pennsylvania's weaK defense against the forward pass. oi well evidently fell for all the news' paper dope about Oregon being simply a. team of big, lumbering farmer boys whose onlv strength lay In line piung Insr. In anv event. Penn's secondary defense played far too close to the line. When Shy shot his pass over me goal to Tegart there wasn't a Quaker athlete within 30 feet of him. Several times Oregon nass receivers were abso Jutely alone in the open. Tegart fell down once when he had almost a clear field. On Pennsylvania's passes the re ceivers invariably were nabbed in their tracks or else the passes went by-Dye. Certainly, the Easterners should have made a better showing in this depart ment The Oregon players broke their long training last night, and will remain In Southern California a lew days in SDecting alligator ranches, moving pic ture factories, cafeterias and other California products. FOOTBALL STARS RESCUERS Monteith and "Shy" Huntington Lift Auto From Pedestrian. LOS ANGELES. CaL. Jan. 2. (Spe claL) Two members of the University of Oregon football team who starred in the game yesterday witn tne uni versity of Pennsylvania at Pasadena played an impromptu strong-man role with such success today that they prob ably saved the life of a man pinioned under a heavy auto.

J. Drlscoll, 1247 Hoover street. The collegians were standing at the curb when the car, driven by Louis Cohen, of 600 South Serenado street, skidded upon the wet pavement and Btruck Mr. Drlscoll.

After hear ing the representatives of the Class AA leagues relative to the elimination of the draft from their leagues, the Na tional Baseball Commission announced here tonight that it would give care ful consideration to the request, and then adjourned. The commission also heard a plea from the smaller leagues that at leat its moral influence be exerted to help the minor leagues out of what was pictured as a most aepiorable condi tion. The minor leagues urged the com mission to recommend that a reclassifi cation and reorganization of all minor leagues be made with the idea in view of eliminating excess railroad mileage of teams, rearrangement of the maxi mum salary limit, and other ideas that it was said would go far toward put ting a large majority of the minor league clubs on a paying basis.

Bruce secretary for the coming year, while a large amount of routine business was trans acted, and Chairman Herrmann an nounced that, for the first time in his recollection, every case had been dis posed of except the matters presented at today's meeting.

They are: The elimination of that part of the draft from the rule in the National agreement affecting the drafting of players by major league clubs from class AA clubs. The elimination of that part of the National agreement providing that class AA players purchased by major league clubs shall be required to re port to the purchasing club imme diately after the purchase of the players.

The rearrangement of the rules and laws of the National Association af fecting territorial rights, classification. reservation and farming or optional agreements. 1 Previous to meeting wun tne na tional Commission President Barrow and President Hickey held a lengthy conference and took up the subject or the lnter-league series between the In ternational League and the American Association. HI IS BEING OBEYED HUNTERS CEASE CLAMOR AGAINST CLOSING OF DECK SEASON. Carl Shoemaker Say a It Protest Is Be Blade It Should Be by Mean of Appeal to Legislature. Clamor against the closing of the duck season in accordance with the Btate instead of the Federal law, that promised to culminate in the praying for an injunction against the operation of the state statute, is subsiding and it appears that no further protest will be voiced. According to the Federal statute the season on these migratory birds closes January 15. The state law sets the extreme limit at December 31. Carl D. Shoemaker, who ordered the enforcement of the state law, and who has been the center of -protest from Multnomah County sportsmen, says that the Federal regulations have nothing to do with an open season, with the exception of the sunrise and sunset provisions. "I have made a careful study of both the Federal and state laws." said Mr. Shoemaker yesterday, "and am abso lutely sure of my ground. "The present state law was a com promise between the Columbia River duck shooters and the Willamette Val ley and Southern Oregon sportsmen. "I have been informed that a great many of the local sportsmen ravor the attitude I have taken and are going to abide by the ruling. Of course there are some who believe that their rights have been seriously interfered with and expect to shoot until January 15. To this class of sportsmen I vant to say that a rigid patrol service is being maintained and violators of the closing order will be arrested promptly. "Their remedy is not In disobeying the law but In seeking corrective meas ures before the Legislature." The question that has been the talk of sportsmen here for the past few days will probably be a live subject at a meeting of shooters at the Oregon building tomorrow night at 8 o'clock. The meeting is being called by Walter Honeyman and he has Issued calls to 6000 sportsmen to be there. ALBANY TO PLAY SILVERTOX Coach Clifford Has Likely Squad of BTlgh School Hoopers.

LAN IS TO BUILD UP-GAME Winners In Local ETents to Meet In 1 5 District Tournaments and 4 5 Victors Will Then Compete for National Honors. NEW TORE. Jan, 2. (Special.) Portland, Or., will be recommended to the annual meeting of the United States National Lawn Tennis Associa- lon for designation as a tennis cen ter. This will take place at the an- ual meeting of the association to be eld in New Tork February 9. This proposal is in connection with sugges tions for increasing the number of tournaments for juniors and boys that will be brought to the delegates' at tention. In selecting for this purpose some 5 cities throughout the United States. thought has been given not only to he geographical position of each city ut to its position In the tennis world as well. For such reasons the desig nation that Portland. Or., has received will be of great significance to tennis fans. It is true In most cases that these centers" have strong clubs so that the game Is flourishing. A few cities have been selected, however, largely because of their situation, and with the xpectatlon that such help as the Na- lonal Association may be able to rive local enthusiasts in promoting these ournaments for the youngsters, will result in greatly Increased Interest. Junior Tonrneya Established. The last anual meeting of the Na tional Association adopted a plan In augurating tournaments for Juniors under 20. and boys under 17 years, leaning to the tournaments for the National championships in these classes. These are held at the same time and place as the singles cham pionship or the United States. tvtn the committee wan nurnrlsrA ny tne response to Its suggestions. More than 90 events for Juniors and boys were sanctioned and contests for sectional championships (preliminary to play for the National) were held in all but one of the 10 sections -into which the country Is divided bv the National Association. In these events more than 1700 players competed. Developments or the first season, naturally enough, have shown possi- ouities ror improving the system and these are to be recommended to the annual meeting. "The whole idea of these suggestions," said George T. Aaee, president or trro national asso ciation, "Is to make the svstem as flexible as possible, so that it can meet the needs of the young players tnrougnout tne country. The plan pro poses to provide so many tournaments that any boy or junior who wants chance at the National title will not be compelled to travel far. Preliminaries Not Changed. 'For that reason a change from the sectional basis is suggested. The pre liminary events will be held Just as last year. In other words, any club, college or association affiliated with the National organization will be urged to give tournaments for Juniors and boys. Winners of preliminary events will then be eligible to compete for the championship of a tennis district cen tering about some designated city, con veniently situated, and winners of these 'tennis center' tournaments will be eligible to compete in the National championship. A player may compete in as many preliminary events as he chooses, but may compete in only one tennis center tournament. 'The committee has decided to rec ommend that 45 cities be designated for holding tennis center" tournaments qualifying to the Junior or boys Na tlonal championship. The list tenta tively suggested lsr Portland. Me. Boston, Hartford, New York, Philadel phia. Baltimore, Washington. Rich mond. Atlanta, Birmingham, Louisville Charleston. W.

Walter McCredle, manager of the Beavers, received a telegram yester day from Henry Berry, president of the San Francisco Pacific Coast League Club, asking the Portland leader If the locals were going to train at Sac ramento or Stockton next Spring. It would seem from this that the Seals would train at one of these two places. Boss Walter answered saying that San Francisco could take either one and Portland would take what was left, as both suited the Beavers. The McCredies are awaiting word from Honolulu relative to the club's train ing there. If this falls through Sac ramento or Stockton will undoubtedly be chosen. Membership Campaign Launched. A membership campaign was launched last Saturday at a meeting of the National Guard Rifle Associa tion. It is the Intention of the club to get enough enthusiastic members so that the debt that is attached to the clubhouse at the Clackamas rifle range, that the association owns and operates may be cleared up.

The Eame In a way, was true of Jeffries. Jeffries was a far better boxer than Willard, but it was the tre mendous power and bulk of the man that put him on top. Poond for Pound and Inch for Inch. This, then, calls for an argument as to the best lighter for his pounds and inches that boxing has ever known. It certainly isn't Willard and It cer talnly wasn't Jeffries or Johnson. One answer might be Terry Mc Govern at his best. Another would be Joe Gans or Kid Lavigne. But the best bet in sight looks to be Bob Fitzsim mons. Fitzslmmons gave away more weight and beat more good, big men than any other boxer in the game. The average heavyweight displace ment Is around 130 pounds. If one takes the weights of the heavyweights for the last 25 years, including Sulli van, Corbett, Fitzslmmons, Jeffries Johnson and Willard it would be 200 pounds. Fits won his championship a 156 pounds, over 40 pounds below the last average named. He was forced to give away 25 to 50 pounds at every start. This is more, in proportion, than McGovern or Gans rver gave away. McGovcrn, Gans and Lavigne all won well beyond their weight. But none of them ever went as far beyond as the Lanky One of other years. Anothe entry not to be overlooked is Stanley Ketchell. He was another who could -give away 15 or 20 pounds and still get by. So, if the list had to be completed from the last 25 years, it would surely include Fitzslmmons, McGovern, Ketch ell. Gans and Lavigne measured not only in results, but from the viewpoin of so much fighting ability to th pound. Not forgetting Kid McCoy, who belongs as a star entry. Today's Crop. Darcy and Carpentier are now regis tered as the two best lighting machines, pound for pound, that the present holds. The best man for his weight In Amerlc Isn't Willard.

But none of thes even class with Fitzsimmons or Mc Coy as pieces of fighting machinery, pound for pound. The Llg-htwetshts. Welsh, in the lightweight division. Is not to be classed as a tighter on th pound-for-pound test with such entries as McGovern or Gans. And no one can tell Just how good the rest of the light weights are while Welsh Is blockin the game with his "10-round no-de clsion big purse" barrier. Smaller Stars. We have always figured Frank Hinkey as the greatest football playe of all time on the pound-for-pound basis. Hinkey was a wonder, measured from the results achieved by a 220-pounde Whereas the Yale star weighed under 150 pounds. Hinkey had no vast bulk or abnormal physical power to carry him along. H had great power for a light man, bu nothing like the physical power Shevlln. Kilpatrick. Coy, Heston an others. Yet no greater football playe ever lived, to take tne nonpartlsa Judgment of those who have seen most of the great ones play. In such games as football and box ing, where weight and strength are vital factors, a small star competing beyond his weight always deserves more credit. Hinkey, of Yale; Stevenson, of Penn sylvania; Tlchenor, of Auburn these are the types that deserve the crest.
