TOURNAMENT OF ROSES ASSOCIATION.
A. J. BERTONNEAU. Manager.
That football means much more than
merely a contest of physical strength
was stated by President Campbell this
afternoon In the following statement
regarding the game:
"We are all very proud of the record
made by the team during the entire
season, and especially of the great vic
tory won over Pennsylvania at Pasa
dena. The championship record has
been due to a fine combination of per
sonal character, skill and endurance.
"The men have trained faithfully.
have played clean, honest football and
have worked toeether as a unit, in
spired by a tremendous loyalty to their
alma mater and their 3tate. The Pasa
dena victory was largely due to the fine
old traditional Oregon spirit
"The game between the East and the
West has important National bearings
In the fact that it tends to bring the
two sections closer together. The Na
tlon has great work ahead of it, and
needs to develop by. every possible
means a National consciousness.
"A victory of the West in athletics
begets respect from the East that Is -f
no small consequence. A recognition
of the quality of the West will prove
one factor in building up a conscious
ness of our invincible National strength
unit."
HOQUIAM WOMEN SEEK GA3IE
B. B. Bowling Team Challenges
Team From Portland for Contest.
Mrs. Mae Brown, captain of the B.
B. Bowling team of Hoquiam, Wash.,
wishes to have her team meet Mrs.
Hazel Davis, of Portland, and any
other two women Mrs. Davis may
select. Mrs. Brown writes as follows:
"I read, in The Oregonian of Decem
ber 17. where Mrs. Hazel Davis and
a woman from New York offered to
challenge any other two women bowl
ers, but received no acceptance of
their challenge. I will say that I knew
nothing of any such challenge. Two
other women bowlers of Hoquiam and
I are ready and anxious to meet Mrs.
Hazel Davis and any two women she
may select.
"My high score Is 205, average 161.
The other two women's marks are: Mrs.
Ada Vaughn, high score 203, average 158;
Mrs. Edythe Ferguson, high score 187,
average 148. I was In Portland in
October and tried to arrange a match
game, but was informed that there
were no women bowlers in Portland at
that time. I met with no encourage
ment. We would like to hear from Mrs.
Hazel Davis and arrange for a game."

Sounding the Sport Reveille
Sport's Endless Call of Cheer.
FROM the frosts of Winter to the
dews of May, there's something new
doing in sports every day, and from the
first dew of Spring till frost comes
again, more happens in sports than is
in a fellow's ken.
Ere the glory of one month can fade,
another is flashing its promise ahead;
right through one season's retreating
line, breaks the light of another equally
sublime; the full joy is not reached in
a single bound, but is sipped in sweet
drafts, week after week, all the year
round.
Some screamin' thing's a-comin' off
all the bloomin time.
The Real Evil.
The American League magnates made
an advance in the right direction when
they voted to cut down the price of
admission to the world's series games
in their own parks. According to the
new rule, in the games played in Amer
ican League parks world's series tick
ets will not be more than double the
amount of the regular reason prices
except the boxes, which will be Ja
each. These new world's series prices
are fair enough, but the great trouble
the disposition of the tickets was not
touched upon. Whether the scalping
evil will ever be eliminated is a doubt
ful . question.
The Playing Rules.
One of the most important things
considered at the recent National
League meeting was as to methods for
curbing the pitcher's dominance. This
included propositions to take off one
ball and cut out one foul strike. When
the foul strike rule was adopted it was
for some specific purpose, of course.
Batsmen became so proficient in foul
ing off the good balls that they event
ually secured a base on balls. The
foul-strike rule was adopted to offset
increasing ability of the batters to foul
off the good balls. But even at that
time there were many who believed
that the rule was a mistake, that it
would hurt the game. It was branded
as an asinine rule. It was declared
that Borne other means should be taken
to checkmate the proficient foul ball
hitters. Whether or not the Joint rules
committee will favor such a rule or
any other change, there is no question
but that the game would be improved
by providing for more batting and
baserunning, the more spectacular fea
tures of the game. ,
Rowland Is Re-engaged.
Clarence Rowland, whose manage
ment of the White Sox was as much i
subject of criticism as Tinker's strat
egy as leader of the Cubs, was more
fortunate than the former Cub star, as
President Comiskey, of the Chicago
Americans, announced that Rowland
has been engaged to pilot the club in
1917. Rowland has been In charge o
the White Sox for two years. Because
of the fact that he never played nor
managed in the big leagues before
coming to Chicago, Comiskey's expert
ment in hiring such a man was closely
watched. Much money was spent by
Comiskey In strengthening the club,
ON
WARRIORS
including $50,000 paid to the Athletics
for Eddie Collins in the Fall of 1914.
In both of his years in Chicago Row
land finished third. During both of
these years it was the general opinion
in Chicago that the White Sox. as a
team, was the best club in the league,
and with proper handling would have
won the pennant.

At last the Portland Uncle Sams have
come into their own. according to the
way they showed the Seattle Metro
politans how to play the game at Se
attle Tuesday night. The Oregonians
won, 7 to 4, and tomorrow's match
against the Vancouver, B. C-, ice hockey
squad in the Portland Ice Palace will
oe watched with considerable interest.
Vvhile the Portland-Vancouser affair
Is going on in Portland. Seattle and
Spokane will be battlintr at Snokane
and as a result the whole standings of
tne league may be radically shifted.
Victories for Portland and Spokane will
mean that Portland and Seattle will be
tied for second honors In the Pacific

spoKane will be at the ton and Van
couver will be . at the bottom of the
heap.
On the other hand should Portland
win and Spokane lose, the Uncle Sams
will rest in second place with one full
game separating them from Seattle.
The games will start at 8:30 o clock P.
M. and plans have been made by Man
ager F. Scott to have the Spokane-

tomorrow.
Dick Irvin again came into the lime
light by scoring three goals and one
assist against the Sound City lads.
Manager Pete Muldoon, of the Seattle
delegation, was rather surprised at the
way the Uncle Sams worked, for ho
had figured on having a fine time
trouncing the Oregonians. It was the
only game of the night.
Clem Loughlin, of Portland, and
Frank Foyston, of Seattle, mixed on
the ice just before the final whistle
blew. The result was banishment for
the rest of the game for both, of them
and Fred Ion. referee, slapped a $2
fine on each one. It all happened over
Tommy Murray. Foyston is said to
have taken a cut at .Murray, who was
flat on the ice and Clem did not like it-

Coach Matliews Gives Out Ko Hints aa
to Regular Lineup.
WILLAMETE UNIVERSITY, Salem.
Or.. Jan. 8. (Special.) Basketball
practice was resumed here yesterday,
after a 10 days' rest. .
Coach Mathews has given no hints
as to the lineup, but it seems certain
that Captain Flegel will be shitted
from guard to forward. Jackson seems
to be sure of center, although Nicols
is playing good ball. Brooks, who has
starred at guard for the last three
years, will hold down his old place.
Grosvenor and Esteb seem to be the
most likely candidates for the other
forward position, while Toble and
Nicols will probabaly fight it out for
the other guard.
The first game of the season wil.
be played Saturday night wtlh the
Alumni.
Definite games are arranged with
the Oklahoma State Normal School.
Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, and
with Pacific University, and tentative

IN the way of New Tear s resolutions
We are thinking seriously of resolv
ing not to miss a putt within 10 feet
of the cup.
The Land of the Fee,
When this war is over we know of
least two able-bodied citizens who are
going to be a trifle more popular in the
U. S. of A. than anywhere in the Brit
ish Empire.
They are Freddie Welsh and Les
Darcy. After all is said, done, spoken,
debated and argued, the profession of
these two was fighting. It was a great
profession so long as they were fight
ing for so much per round. But when
the time came to fight for their country
both beat it on the jump. If the British
Empire is any whit like this country,
neither Welsh nor Darcy will live back
home in either peace or honor. They
are now men without a country, if the
spirit of their country is what we think
it is.
In which respect we agree with Pro
fessor Bill McGeehan and Colonel Da
mon Runyon to th,e fullest It is hard
to see hv-w any one can make a hefo
out of a Welsh or a Darcy. And all the
chatter in the world doesn't alter the
raw, cold facts in the case.
The Lone Pair.
With the release of Minor Brown
there are now two Cubs- left from the
Old Guard around 1906 and before. I
Johnny Evers and Frank Schulte are
still holding the heights and both be
lieve they can hang on a year or two
longer. The Trojan, although only S3
years old, has already serveii 15 years.
while Schulte at 34 has put In 13 campaigns.
With Evers it is merely a matter of
an elbow Joint. If he can boll the kinks
from his throwing arm the rare spirit
aflame in his breast should carry him
along to 40. His ambition now Is to
serve 20 seasons in the main scramble.
after which he is willing enough to let
all umpires go in solitude and peace.

A Golfer's) New Year's Resolve.
I hereby resolve not to get off the line
And to carry each trap if I shatter my
spine.
Just a year ago the Masked Marvel
furore was developing intensity. Nine-
teen-seventeen will have this much of
an edge over 191C, anyway.
Penn, by the date of the Cornell
game, had undoubtedly come to take
her place with the best. Folwell had
developed his Red and Blue machine
far beyond its early season strength.
At the close of the Eastern season
Penn was rated one of the best teams
In the country. East or West.

PASADENA WILL PICK BEST ELEV
EN IN EAST FOR 1918 EVENT.
Rose Tournament Officials Ask Besdelc
to Bring; His Team Back Aaraln.
Experts Ltod Eugene Men.
LOS ANGELES. Cal.. Jan, 8. (Spe
cial.) Before the University of Oregon
zootoaii team left here for home yes
terday the Pasadena Tournament of
Roses committee invited the Oregonians
to return next New Year's day to tackle
the best Eastern eleven that can be
signed to come West.
That the 1917 Oregon football eleven
will be considerably stronger than this
season's aggregation ' was the state
ment of Coach Bezdek before leaving.
Mr. Bezdek said that he would be more
than glad to bring his proteges here
for another contest.
That the very best university eleven
In the East would be brought to Pasa
dena for next year's contest was the
assertion tonight of E. J. Bertonneau,
chairman of the rose committee. The
Pasadena officials hope to bring Har
vard or Tale out for the 1918 classic
Cornell also Is being considered.
The most Impressive eleven that ever
appeared in action upon a Southern
gridiron that's the opinion of the foot
ball experts and fans who Monday
watched Oregon wallop the University
of Pennsylvania machine. '
One of the freak waarers on the game
was between David Boice, assistant
manager of the Hotel Green, and his
barber. According to the wager. Mr.
Boice was to receive free shaves for a
year if the Pennsylvania team worn- but
was to pay $25 for a shave If the Ore
gon team won. Mr. Boice paid for his
expensive shave yesterday.
VEKXOX GETS COUCH'S "GOAT"
Seal T wirier loses Six Contests and
Wins Two to Tigers.
Vernon was the only club that had
the goat of Pitcher Couch, of the 1916
San Francisco club, of the Pacific
Coast League. During the year Couch
won more than he lost against every
club but Vernon, which won six times
and lost only twice against Couch. But
the Seal pitcher made up against Salt
Lake what he lost against Vernon, for
he won more from Salt Lake than he
won from any other club. Incidentally
Couch defeated Salt Lake more times
than any other San Francisco pitcher
could beat the Utah team. Steen was
the easiest picking for Salt lak
among the Seal pitchers.
Against Steel. Salt Lake won six ana
lost four; against Oldham, Salt Lake
won four and lost one; against Baura,
the Bees won four and lost three;
Erickson broke even with two victories
and two defeats against Salt Lake;
Couch won six and lost three; Brown
won two and lost none; West won one
and lost none; Perritt, Corbett and
Fanning each won one and lost one.

Zander can be nothing but beneficial
to the youngsters HJertberg is teach
ing the correct methods in connection
with running, jumping, weight throw

which they show the greatest aptitude,
and for one recruit he had this year
he probably will have four next year,
to the end that both Swedish and in
ternational competition and athletics
must be benefited.
It is this work among the young
sters of the United States that war
rants the Stars and Stripes in waving

series, and until some country can pro
duce more and better schoolboy ath

chance of any country pulling the
United States from its position at the
top.
It is to be hoped that, nothing will
deter the Swedes from coming here
next Summer. It will be a good ath
up the team and will be a stimulus for
letic education for the men who make
the champions in embryo to try for
those heights which will make them
eligible for some future international
team, the making of which st the do

confer with the management of the
Chicago Cube for the purpose of ar
ranging exhibition games with the

train in Sacramento. The Cubs have
already written Mr. Andrus to book
a series of games here.

do the right thing by Mr. MeCredie las

Beavers were allowed to slip in and
out without receiving much notice
from this and other civic organizations.
If they will come back this year we
will show them that Sacramento appre

of being a Coast League training
camp. We will have a big parade
when the training season opens and
closes, and I will arrange special lea

has talked of bringing his Seals to
Sacramento. He is also thinking
Marysville and Stockton as possibl
training camps. Sacramento's central
position and its excellent hotels are
expected to be a deciding factor in
bringing either Portland or 6an Fran

these few words ran over the wire to
Meier Newman, captain of the 1917
Oregon Aggie football squad, they cast
gloom all over the campus here today
tor it meant that George "Tuffy" Conn.
the sensational halfback, would not be
a member of the local squad next Fall.
It was the first definite news that
"Tuffy" really had made up his mind
to Journey East for further study. In
his message to Captain Newman he
gave as his reason for leaving that ho
wanted to change his course of study.
Coach Joseph A. Plpal. of the Oregon
Aggies, went south to attend the Oregon-Pennsylvania
game as did Conn
and it may be that Coach Folwell, of
Penn, worked on the mind of the Cor
vallis sensation until he consented to
go East.
Alex McNeil, the big Englishman who
capably filled one of the tackle posi
tions on the 1916 squad here, has de
cided that he will leave the local in
stitution. He has his ticket for Cali
fornia purchased already and should
he finally depart it will cause a bier
slump in the prospects for a winning
combination this Fall. Captain Newman
was visibly affected by the news that
both his stars. Conn and McNeil,, had
decided to go elsewhere.
Conn was rated as one of the most
sensational halfbacks ever seen In the
Pacific Northwest. He gained quite a
reputation when he ran 101-yards for
a touchdown against Nebraska at Port
land and his run is said to have been
the longest of the 1916 campaign. He
otherwise distinguished himself during
the season and he had a great deal to
do with the 13-to-10 Oregon Aggio
victory over the much heralded Wash

Pullman. Wash.
Whether or not he wni return to
