Competent Judges of Pugilism In East Fall to See How Champion Willard Need Have Any Fear of Losing Crown for While. Although the war has eliminated the major portion of athletic competition throughout the European countries, sport has not been entirely abandoned, and there Is plenty of evidence to sup port the belief that there will be a general revival of athletics following the declaration of peace. Many close observers of the physical condition of the 'troops have stated it as their opin ion that the training necessary to fit the young men for the modern battle field has produced a new type of Eu ropean manhood which will instinctive ly turn to sport with extraordinary zest as soon as arms are laid aside. It is a matter of record that many forms of athletic competitions are con stantly being indulged in on all fronts. Just back of the firing lines, and these games are particularly encouraged by both the French and English army au thorities. Football, baseball, cricket, golf, wrestling, boxing and foot racing are all participated in by the soldiers off duty and it is said that some re markable performances are witnessed from time to time when the handicaps, under which the games are played, are taken Into consideration. In the Scandinavian countries steady progress in the development of athletic standards Is reported, notwithstanding the . fact that these nations are far more affected by the great conflict than neutrals at a greater distance. An example of the upbuilding and broad ening of sport throughout this section of Europe is found in the recent Scandinavian Athletic Congress held at Stockholm. This congress was formed at the sug gestion of the Swedish A. A. U. and was attended by representatives from the athletic organizations of Norway, Denmark and Sweden. At this confer ence it was agreed that the new body should have full charge of all ar rangements looking toward athletic meets between these three nations or with teams from other countries which may later desire to compete against an All-Scandinavian combination. A committee was appointed to pre pare a new code of eligibility and com petitive regulation that, will be uni form throughout Scandinavia. It was Informally announced that this step was deemed advisable in view of the athletic challenge which this associa tion is prepared to issue following the close of the war. " Competent Judges of pugilism, -who have witnessed the various bouts of re cent months In which Fred Fulton. Jim Coffey, Carl Morris and Frank Moran have participated, appear to be a unit In the opinion that Champion Willard's title is not in danger. None of the quartet has shown boxing skill equal to that possessed by the champion. With the possible exception of Norris, Wil lard Is easily superior In physical strength, and has demonstrated ability to stand punishment with less discom fort and confusion of purpose, than any of the four leading contenders for a chance at the heavyweight honors. A number of the larger Eastern col leges have awakened to the fact that they acted too hastily In declaring off all intercollegiate athletics, following the declaration that a state of war ex isted. Intermural competition has Deen round to be a failure as a substi tute and individual entries for hastily rearranged schedules are being advo cated to rectify the situation created by the first burst of patriotism.

Oregon Food Campaign ( OFFICIAL) Planning Garden. AFTER provision has been made for all of the 100-foot rows, there will remain a strip 20 feet wide, the length of the lot. This should be planted to corn for a depth of 60 feet. The next 35 feet should be used for tomatoes, pole beans, cucumbers and Summer squash. The remaining IB feet should be worked up very finely before plant ing lettuce, onions and spinach. The varieties suggested in this table are some of the standard, but. they may be substituted by any of the well known seed houses. As far as possible home-grown seeds should be secured, and patronage to seed houses from without the state should be as a last resort. This planting table Is worked out for a lot SO by 100 feet and Is sufficient, if planted intensively, to supply vege tables for the average family through the Summer and Fall, and provide a surplus which can be prepared for use through the Winter months. Do not plant the seds until the ground has been thoroughly prepared by plowing or spading to a depth of six Inches and then thoroughly worked down and packed with a fine, loose mulch on the surface. Care In the matter of getting the rows straight will make the cultiva tion easier. PLANTING DISTANCES FOR VARIOUS GARDEN CROPS. FARM LABOR FOUND Food Campaign Committee Reports Progress. LAND IS BEING OFFERED Realty Man Turns Over Property p.nd Private Owners Co-operating Boy Scouts Prepare to Till 4 0 -Acre Tract. Not to encourage the food speculator who hopes to reap large profits from his crop, but to lend every aid and counsel to those who are legitimately engaged In the food preparedness Cam paign, is the avowed intention of those directing the work. "We are experiencing the satisfac tion of actually bringing labor and land together In the food preparedness campaign." aW W. H. Crawford yes terday, In the campaign headquarters at the Oregon building.. "Applications for work are being paired with the re quests of growers for farm labor. "It is evident that representatives of many of the large estates, comprising hundreds and thousands of acres, want to do the right thing in the food fight. Wee have had many requests from es tate agents for information, with as surances of assistance. Speculator la Barred. "It Is our aim to encourage the pro duction of food, no matter who may eventually sell it. or who may make money at It, with the exception of spec ulators, who must and shall not be en couraged. As to a proper profit, we hold that the man who does his bit by raising food to fight the high cost of living is entitled to a legitimate profit for his service to the Nation, Just as soldiers draw wages for theirs." Among the proffers of land received by the campaign yesterday were sev eral of considerable acreage. Dr. Owens Adair, of Sunnymead Farm, offered for food production during the period of the war, at no rental save the payment of taxes, 150 acres between Warren ton and Astoria. This farm has an eight-room house, m-ch of it is fenced, and a number of acres have been plowed. Proposals must be made through the food preparedness cam paign committee. Ten vacant lots in Portland were of fered for cultivation, without charge of any sort, while another offer was that of D. B. Howard, who will rent 0 acres near Molalla, with two acres of garden land, and a large quantity of fertilizer, at patriotic terms. The Boy Scouts of Portland, through their scout executive, James E.

"We have arranged to cultivate 40 or 50 acres," said Mr. Brorkway. "to be known as the Boy Scout Patriotic Farm One tract that we had considered se cured is not now available, but within a day or two we will have the land, which will be plowed by tractors al ready engaged." The Boy Scouts will assemble on specified "cultivation days," 400 or BOO strong, and hike to the farm camp, where they will work for five morning hours. This arrangement. It is thought certain, will amply insure the cultiva tion of the tract, which will be planted mainly to potatoes and cabbage. The afternoons will be spent In recreation. The services of expert agriculturists will be requisitioned during tho plant ing of the tract. Mr. Crawford expressed himself as deeply gratified by the assistance of Al Furlong, of the real estate firm of Umbdenstock & Larson. Mr. Furlong, In receipt of various applications from men who wish to rent farms, or to work, has turned many of these over to the food preparedness campaign. "Other real estate men could be or much assistance to us if they would follow this lead," commented Mr. Craw ford, "and turn over to us the unavail able requests and tips that are now thrown in the waste basket." , CHARGE PATENT VIOLATION Portland and Surety Company Sued by Paving Company.
