where Battling Ortega, who will meet
AI Sommers Wednesday night, held
forth for two hours, during which he
displayed his ability to box, skip the
rope, punch the bag and chase his
shadow" around the ring to the
curious fight fans who crowded every
nook of the gym, eager to get
glimpse of the Call forn lan.
Ortega started off the afternoon s
workout by pummellng the punching
bag. and played a continual tit-tat-too
against the stand. Then the dark-
skinned battler skipped the rope for
25 minutes, after which he took on
hree of his sparring partners. Judging
from his freshness at the conclusion
of the session with the padded mitts,
he could have ' taken on about two
dosen more boxers.
Big Jack Clifford did not show up at
training quarters. The chances are
hat Clifford preferred to observe the
Sabbath without trying to stop an al
most unlimited amount of wallops di
rected at various parts of his anatomy.
Ortega, while he was fast and
howed plenty of dash In his ability
to step sround, could not put the steam
Into his punches that he would if he
had the privilege of boxing with
heavier and more experienced oppon
nts. He Is In perfect physical condi
tlon and primed for a great battle
against Sommers.
Al Sommers went out on the road
yesterday morning, and in the after
noon went through 10 fast rounds with
his sparring partners. Muff Bronson
was the first one to mix with Som
men, and the fast lightweight had to
step lively while be faced Sommers.
Al worked like he never worked be
fore. The Portland middleweight re
alisea he Is up against the best boxe
of his weight in this section of th
country and is leaving nothing un
done in order that he might step into
the ring with Ortega ready for the
battle of his career.
Jimmy Duffy showed the fans that
his opponent will need more than tw
eyes and handa in order to nit mm
unless he travels at a mlle-a-minut
clip. Duffy was as fast as a strea
of lightning in yesterdays workout.

that Frankie Tucker has his work cu

not the time for us to have any poll

Second The executive committee
selected three men on the nominating
committee Joseph Jennings, of Phila
delphla; J. S. Cushraan, of New York,
and C. S. Garland, of Pittsburg. Th
character of these men Is beyond re
proach and their Interest In the game as
sport Is well known to all followers o
tennis. Any decision they might mak
with regard to nominations should be
adopted unanimously by the clubs o
the association, as they are well posted
as to what has happened in the orga

future.
"Third The season of 1918 will be
hard enough to handle without having
any political feeling involved, and will
require the support of all parties to
make the season anywhere' near a sue

pie should pull together and not allow
personal prejudices to interfere with
the good of an organization as a whole

COLLEGES MUST PAY TAX
TEX PER CENT OF ItECEIPTS FROM
GAMES GO TO WAR FIND.
Teat Claim Made by University of Chi
cago I Lout Ruling Applies to
All Contests Slaee November 1. .
Colleges must pay 10 per cent of their
football and other athletic receipts to
the Government war fund. Institutions
that neglected to tax their patrons at
the gate will have to dig down into
their own pockets and settle with
Uncle Sam.
This was the decision received by In
ternal Revenue Collector Julius F.
Sniietanka. of Chicago, from B. C.
Keith, Deputy Commissioner of Internal
Revenue at Washington. It applies to
all contests since November 1.
The decision was put up to the Wash
ington officials on a test exemption
claim made by the University of Chi
cago on the ground that the profits
derived from football and other athletics
are used for educational purposes. The
Collector at Chicago assigned men to
nves'igate the case, and they reported
that, in their opinion, the university,
should pay the tax. The report was
forwarded to Washington several weeks
ago and, pending a final ruling from
Washington, the university officials
withheld payment.
Mr. Smietanka said that the university
should have levied the 10 per cent tax
on individual patrons at the gate, but
failed to do so. This was by advice
of counsel. It was claimed at the uni
versity that notification had been ob
tained from Washington to the effect
hat the university did not come with-
n the meaning of the law.

UNIVERSITY OP WASHINGTON,
Jan. 20. (Special.) In a final effort
to bolster Washington's basketball
team before the opening of the confer
ence season Friday night. Coach Hunt
has persuaded Ernest Murphy, giant
football star, to turn out tomorrow.
Murphy, while an All-Northwest foot
ball man twice, has , never played col
lege basketball, and it is doubtful if
he can do much more than make the
rest of the squad hustle during the
first week. His presence on the team
is expected to add fight and speed, and
by the time of the second series, against
Pullman next month, he should be in
shape to take his regular turn.
Team's Outlook Poor.
As a high school athlete at Wallace,
Idaho, Murphy was considered one of
the best centers in the state, and he
has also played guard. Where Coach
Hunt likely will use him is a matter
of conjecture, and probably a chance
will be given him in all the positions.
Coach Hunt is not at all satisfied
with the showing of his squad so far.
and with O. A. C. opening here Friday
night for a' two-game series, he does
not hold out high hopes for either con
test. In practice games so far the
first team has lost twice to the Seat
tle Y. M. C. A.; and local high school
teams have held them practically even.
College of Puget Sound, Tacoma, lost
by a 25-to-20 score after a great up
hill battle.
Mti Are Inexperienced.
Not an experienced man is on the
first squad, and besides this essential,
they lack speed and weight. Wilson
Ide, guard and center, is the biggest
and speediest man of the lot and has
shown up well so far. Gilsaly and
Charles, both former Broadway men.
have been holding forward positions,
with Halbrook and Nelson alternating.
Slack, at guard, plays a good game in
spots and Is death on free throws.
When he has Ide for a running mate.
Jamieson, the tallest man on the
squad, takes center.
Following the two Oregon Agricul
tural College games, the varsity will
have two weeks in which to prepare
for Washington State College, which is
reputed to have a strong five this year.

Princeton University has returned
to the athletic fold. No longer will it
be represented by "informal" and min
or sport teams. Its famous Tigers
hereafter will do battle in all branches
of Intercollegiate sport. They will be
known as varsity teams, and the stars
will be awarded the coveted "P's," as
was the custom before the authorities
placed the ban on major sports when
the war broke out.
The board of athletic control at
Princeton has placed its approval on
all athletic activities. Its members
have expressed themselves in favor of
resuming all sports on the ground that
they are a valuable adjunct to military
training.
Economy Is Urged.
In granting its sanction for the re
sumption of all sports, the board at
Princeton made only one stipulation
that athletics be conducted on a much
less expensive plan than heretofore.
For this curtailment there is a reason,
according to the members of the board
. Th. nihl.Ho a a uhri n t i n n itt
UL WllllUl. uii.iuii- " ' - . . .
in financial difficulty at nresent and!
cannot look to the university for sup
port. As a result of the board's verdict
more serious attention Immediately will
be bestowed uuon the work of the
crew, and it is expected that a record
number of candidates will report to
Dr. J. Duncan Spaeth and Trainer Fitz
patrick for work on the machtnes.
Indications are that an elaborate
programme will be arranged' for the
Spring, which will include a triangu
lar meet with Columbia ana uorneu
on Carnegie Lake and a dual meet with
the Navy. It also is probable that the
Tiger varsity crew will be seen in
competition in the big regatta on the
Schuylkill in Philadelphia. '
Track Candidates In Field.
As Baseball Coach Bill Clarke is now
In the Y. M. C. A. war work In France,
it Is likely his position will be filled by
Fred Dawson, who has been handling
the basketball team. He will be called
upon to handle both varsity and fresh
man nines.
Trainer Fitzpatrick already has is
sued a call for track and field candi
dates and is confident that a large
number will report for indoor work.
Captain John Bartlett, who is doing
scout duty, says rnnceion naa enougu
good men to hold their own in any in
tercollegiate meet.
While no call for football candidates
has been issued, it Is likely Speedy
Rush will begin the work of getting
material for an eleven for next season.

ball went into the basket.

all played exceptionally well, but for
some reason or other the basket was
at times not within their vision,
Phillips, who was Columbia's spare,
won the honors due the Columbia team.
