VARSITY TANGLE ARRANGED Although Details of Financial Agree ment Made With Eugene Insti tution Are Secret, Matters Are Satisfactory. Hugo Bezdek, University of Oregon football coach and manager of the Pittsburg- National League club, yester day received a letter from Lieutenant Newton Best, athletic officer at Mare Island. California, and manager of the Mare Island Marines' football team, containing a definite offer for Bezdek to coach the marines for their clash with the Allentown Ambulance Corps at Pasadena, New Year's day. Some time ago Bezdek was asked if he would consent to tutor the Mare Island boys for their coming clash in the East versus "West gridiron strug gle, but nothing of a definite nature regarding the financial nature of the transaction came until yesterday. Bez dek will announce his decision within the next few days. Bezdek plans to leave Eugene with his family for Chicago either the last of this week or the early part of next week. Should he close negotiations with the Mare Island officials, he will coach the Marines' football aggregation until the New Year's day game is played and then continue East with his fam ily. The financial estrangement between Bezdek and the university has evident ly been straightened out satisfactorily to all concerned. Despite the denial which recently came from Eugene over the report published in this paper, that it was suggested to Hugo Bezdek last August that he accept a cut in his $3500 salary, it is positively known that Bezdek has in his possession a letter written last August in which Bezdek was asked to accept a cut ot J2000. The Oregon football coach in sending his acknowledgment of receipt of the letter did not mention what his deci sion would be and the matter was left open until his return to Eugene after the close of the National League sea eon. Bezdek is paid $500 by the univer pity and $3000 by the associated stu dents, and it is known that the letter, written last August, suggested a $2000 reduction in his salary. The fact that nothing more has come of the matter means that Bezdek has been taken care of in a manner satisfactory to him. The Oregon mentor had an extremely trying situation confronting him this season, and his work of moulding to gether the green but gritty fighting organization which represented the Eugene institution so that the eleven won half of its conference games is a wonderful tribute to the ability of Hugo Bezdek. mm Tes, Andy Smith, California's football coach, returned from Los Angeles, after nifi a. rtuicma lie 1 1 1 1 1110 uni versity of Southern California and as usual was chock-full of alibis. Smith told the newspaper men that the Cali fornia backfield did nothing but fum ble. Hansen, who was missing from the Bear lineup the day Oregon trounced California. 21 to 0. was back in the lineup, but he managed to evade Smith's wrath. Andy did not want to make Hansen the "goat" twice in suc cession, so he picked on the California backfield. Smith's ability to alibi ought to make him a wonderful weather forecaster for Portland he urely would be kept busy. SPORTSMEN WILL MEET IEAGCE DIRECTORS CALLED INTO CONFERENCE TODAY.

ROLLER THROWS IRISHMAN McDermott Succumbs to ex-Seattle Physician at Xew York Tourney. NEW YORK, Dec. 3. An interna tional catch. as-catch-can wrestling tournament was begun here tonight to determine the champioin at that style of mat work. Wladek Zbyszko, of Po land, threw George Mannich, of Serbia, in two minutes and 27 seconds with a body hold. Dr. B. F. Roller, of Rochester, N. Y., threw Tom McDermott of Ireland, in 26 minutes and 18 seconds with a wrist lock and body scissors. The tourna-j ment will continue for about threi weeks. Oh. no, there's not a thing to do in sporting circles except write about football stars, basketball games, golf, fights, swimming, baseball prospects, drafts army and baseball, etc No, not a thing to do a-talL San Franciscan Expects to Stop Gil bert's Sensational Spurt on Fri day Night Jack Wagner to Meet Frankie Tucker. Johnny McCarthy, the San Francisco welter, "breezed" into Portland yester day and immediately set to work put ting onlhe finishing touches for his bout next Friday night at the Eleventh-Street Playhouse, where he will tangle in a six-round setto with Fred Gilbert, the Bend cyclone. McCarthy appeared to be in the pink of condition and took up his training quarters at the Colurflbia'Athletlc Club gymnasium. Eleventh and Morrison streets. He worked out six fast rounds with Muff Bronson and Harry Ander son yesterday afternoon and wound up the afternoon training by punching the bag for 15 minutes. The San Francis can who recently won from Joe Rivers and Willie Hoppe is confident of his ability to stop Gilbert's sensational spurt' and hopes Gilbert is in perfect shape, so that he will have no excuses to offer if he goes to sleep via the knockout route. Gilbert is training hard at Mike But ler's gymnasium and continues to prove a hard man for his sparring partners. The sensational Bend walloper is im bued with the idea that he is destined to wear the world's welterweight crown and every time he shoots over a right cross it usually spells "curtains" for the sparring partner. As a result it is hard for Gilbert's handlers to get boys to box with the Bend youngster. There are any number of fight fans who claim Gilbert is a seasoned boxer who is going to spring a real surprise by putting the fighting San Francisco Irishman to sleep Friday night, but it is positively known that Gilbert has been driving a butcher cart in Bend for more than a year, during which time he won every fight he had in the Central Oregon city and which is said to be the extent of his ring career. Val Sontag will arrive Wednesday afternoon from Seattle for his bout with Al Sommers. Sontag won the Na tional amateur middleweight champion ship in 1915 at San Francisco during the Panama-Pacific Exposition. He turned professional after his return East and met the best men of his weight in the country, including Al McCoy, George Chip and Joe Bonds. He also fought Harry Greb, who is now a sensation in the East. Since Sontag returned to the Coast he beat Joe Coughlin at Seattle and two weeks ago fought a- draw with Sommers at Seattle. Sontag claims lack of condition was the reason for Sommers' good showing, hence Sort tag's desire to again meet Sommers in order to demonstrate his ability to win over the Portland fighter. The Seattle papers say Sommers is a much-im proved boxer and 'was entitled to a draw with Sontag. Jack Wagner and Frankie Tucker are down for a six-round mill and both are working hard for their coming en counter. Tucker Is at present in Seat tle, but will come jo Portland tomor row. The visiting fighter is managed by his sister, who attends to all the financial details connected with her brother's ring career. SONTAG IS AFTER REVENGE Seattle Butcher Eager for Return Bout Friday With Sommers. SEATTLE. Wash., Dec 3. (Special.) Val Sontag, the battling butcher, of Seattle, has placed his butcher shop in the hands of his assistant and knuckled down to serious training for his bout with Al Sommers in Portland Friday night. v Sontag. who is one of the richest boxers on the Coast, is sore at his failure to beat Sommers in their bout here, and says he is going to Portland to bet his butcher shop that he will win. He is still smarting from those hard rights which the Portland boy landed in the early rounds of their con test, and he says he will beat Flani gan's battler and is willing to go on, winner-take-all, to prove it. Ever since-Sontag won three ama teur championships in one night, mid dle, light-heavy and heavyweight, here a couple of years ago, local fans have been strong for the butcher, and a dele gation of Seattle rooters will accom pany him to Portland.

PAIR SCARE SNIPE AWAY At Least There Were No Blrd to Be Seen on Harrisburg Trip. Wesley Ladd and Dick Carlon Jour neyed to Harrisburg over the week-end in Quest of the festive snipe. They rennet- that st no time were thev in danger of running afoul of the law re garding the number or Dirds that may be shot In one day. In fact, it seems that if they had got anotHer snipe it would have brought their grand total up to one. The Portlanders report tnai mere are few more ducks in the Harrisburg section than in the vicinity of this city, but at that there are not as many as usual Soma of the big league magnates are figuring on establishing training camps nearer home in order to reduce training expenses. Judge McCredle's team, if be has one. will train either at Findlay's lot on Council Crest or Lone Fir Cemetery. the game seems to have died down Last year many of the teams were playing in October and practically all the leagues were in full swing by the middle of November. This year it is different. Almost all of the schools had boys report for practice at first, but after the novelty had worn off the turnouts gradually dwindled and in most cases ceased al together. No league, formal or infor mal, has yet announced a schedule. Glencoe is one of the few schools that is keeping its team in shape and hoping for enough interest in the game to revive so a league may be organ ized, or at least so games with one or two other schools may be arranged. The Glencoe team looks very good on paper, as several well-known gram mar school stars are in the line-up. Among them are George Potter. Char lie Kelly, Clifford Anderson, Glen Campbell and Bob Estay. Charlie Kelly has rendered valuable aid in coaching the team. Peninsula had a team, but it has practically disbanded because of in ability to arrange games with other schools. Peninsula last year played In one of the strongest grammar school leagues In the city, composed of Cen tral, Portsmouth, Kenton. Ockley Green, Peninsula and Highland Kenton won the championship. Peninsula an- nounces if is willing to again call out its team provided other schools take a like interest in the game and are will ing to do their share in arranging a schedule and getting the season under way. The whole trouble appears to be that the grammar schools lack a "self- starter." Kach one is waiting for the other to start something and, as the wait is getting rather tedious. Interest In the game is dying out altogether. If anything is to be done at all in soccer this year, it will have to begin quite suddenly, for but six or eight weeks of the season remain. KID IRISH' WRESTLES TOXIGHT Finish Match and "Cattle Royal" on at Camp Lewis. Corporsl Lloyd E. Ireland, better known In sporting circles as "Kid Irish' and now wrestling instructor at Camp Lewis, will defend his title this evening at the new Y. M. C.
