ward a green aggregation fought all
the way. It was outclassed at every
turn by the smooth-working: orange
and black machine.
From the sidelines the game was
slow and uninteresting, especially the
second half. At no time was Oregon
'able to advance the ball past the op
povlng guards consistently and neither
team could connect with the basket
with any degree of regularity.
Contrary to expectation, there
little roughness displayed and but
fouls called. rVwler missed the on
three free shot that Oregon got and
Ray failed on four attempts for O. A.

three.
Ourley was the outstanding figure
of the contest with Captain Ray and
Krueger. his teammates, running close
for 'second. Medley, at forward, and
"Wilson, at guard, were the mainstays
f the Oregon team.
Both teams played through the en

representatives persuaded the two cit
ies to get together and enter a ball

will be known as the St. Helens-Columbia
City team. St. Helens and Co
lumbia City wanted to play independ
ent ball this season, but after the con
ference decided they would combine
and take out a franchise in the newly
organised Shipbuilders' League.'
Those who made the trip with Ryan
to get St. Helens in the league were

Whether or Not to Let Teams With
Such Members on List Play on
Grounds of Organized Clubs
Matter to Be Settled Soon.
If teams In the shipbuilder's leaguer
up and down the coast having sus
pended players of organized baseball
on their roster figure they can play
their games in the parka of organized
baseball when the home team is on the
road they are likely to run into a snag.
' A, number of players of both the Pa
cific Coast and Pacific Coast, Inter
national Leagues have declare their
intentions of not playing professional
baseball this coming season', but in
stead will work in the shipyards and
play with teams in the shipbuilders
league. i
While there is no rule against sus
pended players playing with independ
ent teams against Independent teams
in the parks of organized baseball it is
being whispered about that the Pacific
Coast League and Pacific Coast Inter
national League -may see fit to adopt
such a rule. ?
There is a rule In organized base
ball that no player suspended or dls
qualified by one club may play with or
against any other club in organized
baseball, or play with an independent
team against a club of organized base
ball. . - ..
While there has been only a few
players who have announced their in
tention of quitting professional base
ball to loin the shipyards' league it
will be Interesting to watch the move
ments of the two leagues of organized
baseball on the Coast.
Nothing wili be done, it is thought.
until it is known how many players
actually refuse to report when the
Pacific Coast League or Pacific Coast
International League season starts.
The teams of the Portland Ship
builders' League have not decided
where they will play their league
fames when the Portland team Is on
the road. It might be that they will
not want the . use of the Vaughn-
street grounds. Judge McCredie was
asked yesterday what he knew of the
rumor and said as far as he knew
there was nothing to it and it made
no difference with him. No action will
be taken by Judge McCredie to place a
ban on suspended players from playing
with the shipbuilders' League on his
park unless the Pacific Coast Inter
national League acts as a body. .
Judge McCredie yesterday mailed a
contract to Cliff Lee at his home in
Denver. According to the "Rule Book'
contract must be mailed to Lee be
fore March 1 and it was with the Idea
of conforming to the laws of the Na
tional pastime that McCredie forwarded
Lee a contract.
No word has come from the National

Campus Much Interested In Games to
Be Played on Oregon Floor To
night and Tomorrow.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Feb. 22. (Special) Four basketball
games between the varsity, and the
Oregon Aggie quintets are occupying
the attention of fandora in the univer
sity, and not even war and the strenu
ous military programme which the men
students have to face daily can squelch
entirely the loop game talk. More real
interest Is being centered on the games
of tonight and tomorrow night than
upon almost any sport event on the
university calendar.
"You're next. Aggies," and "Go get
'em, Oregon," are the campus slogans
which are stirring up the "old fight" In
Coach Hayward' a warriors. There is
no strong showing of confidence that
Oregon will be able to down the Aggie
first team In any quarter, but chances
of the freshmen handing two defeats
to the visiting "rooks" are considered
good. The 48-to-23 victory of Coach
Walker's first-year men over the Che
mawa five last week offers concrete
evidence of the marked improvement of
the Oregon babes over their form In the
Corvallis games with the Aggie in
fants three weeks ago.
It was an entirely rejuvenated var
sity team that chalked up two wins
over the University of Washington in
the games of Monday and Tuesday
nights, but it is not the kind of an ag
gregation which Coach Hayward would
be satisfied to send against the O. A. C.
five, which victories and comparative
scores indicate to be the strongest in
the conference.
Hayward has not given out his line
up for the opening game with the
orange and black tonight, but it is ex
pected that Medley and Lind will play
the positions which Morrison and Com
fort filled in the previous games with
O. A. C. .Medley, who was kept off the
floor in the early part of the season by
a .bad ankle, showed up to good advan
tage at forward in the Washington
games, and has a strong advantage I

Last Monday he was following his

has proved himself a remarkable per
former in the squared circle and hii
work for his age and ring experience
has been little short of wonderful.
Alex is also working hard for the
match and is in tip-top condition al
ready. He is training dally with Wal
ter Knowlton, Vincent Montpier and
Jimmy Moscow. In meeting Ingle,
Trambitas will be going up against the
tiffest fistio proposition that he has
met with in his short and meteoric
career, but he is confident that he can
take the former San Francisco boxer's
measure and once more be rated as one
of the kingpin lightweights of the Pa-
ific Coast.
Marty Farrell, the New York middle
weight, worked out for his first time
n Portland yesterday afternoon and if
he boxes in the ring like he does in the
gymnasium the Portland fistic fans are
due to see one of the cleverest middle
weights in the world In action. Farrell
looks like the "real McCoy", and steps
around like a champion.
Marty is booked to meet Pat Bradley,
the St. Paul colored middleweight, who
has championship aspirations. Bradley
was on his way to. San Francisco and
Oakland, hunting for matches with
Ortega, Barrleau, Farrell, King and other
crack mittlewelghts that were boxing
on the Pacific Coast, when he stopped
off here to meet Romeo Hagen. Hoping
to land a topnotch bout here) Bradley
decided to stay over after his win over
Hagen and he has been rewarded
with a match with one of the best 158
pounders in the country.
Bradley la Confident.
Whether he is good enough to defeat
Farrell is a big question,' but he seems
confident enough, so it is up to him to
do some tall battling on Wednesday
night. Farrell Is after matches with
Mick King and Al Sommers and expects
to polish off Bradley in short order, i
Four other all-star bouts will com
plete the card which looks to be one of
the best here this year. - Evans has

under the regime of the Boxing Com
mission and is out to uphold his repu
tation.
