SAX FRANCISCO. Oct 7 Precau tionary measure to prevent the spread of influenza have delayed the football schedules of the husky football teams of half a dozen military and naval camps in Central California, but the season, when it really starts, is ex pected to develop more high-class foot ball than haa ever been seen in tnese parts. The United States Marine Corps team of the. Mare Island Barracks, although under quarantine, is practicing daily and the early season showing, according- to sport writers here, indicate it Is tha equal of the undefeated 1917 eleven. William Diets, Carlisle Indian coach, is whipping the men into shape. Host of the players are former stars of the Universities of California and Washington. Filers Beat Heavy Team. Mather Field. Sacramento, Is putting out a crack aggregation and the fliers expect to give the "devil dogs" a close contest for the coast championship. This eleven recently defeated the Fort Baker soldiers who are being coached by Lieutenant Dorman. The Fort Ba ker team is said to be the heaviest in . the West. The gobs' of the Terba Buena ("Goat Island") naval training station are strengthening their weak back- field to balance against their defensive line, which, though strong, recently failed to avert defeat at the hards of the Mare Island Marines. The Fort Baker eleven defeated the Student Army Training Corps team of the University of California early In the season, but the college lads are reported to be making real progress under Andy Smith, their coach. A San Francisco sports editor suggested this week that the Eastern plan of playin seriea of football games for the benefit of war funds might be adopted by the University of California and Stanford University, thus ending the prolonged dispute which has severed athletic re lations between the two institutions. St. Mary's Cellege la Field. St. Mary's College at Oakland also has a team In the field. Its first game having been played with the heavy artillery Saturday, tit. Marys will meet the University of California Novem ber . Another team is being organized at the Presidio here, and each of the can tonments on the coast is expected to put a representative eleven in the field.

Last year Black Dia mond and Carbonado each had a team In the league. This year many of the old players are gone. TACOMA BO.YKR IX BORDEAUX Home Fans Await Mail Report of Fight With Frenchman. TACOMA. Wash.. Oct. 27. (Special.) Leslie Calvert, a middleweight who has performed before boxing fans throughout the Northwest while he made his home in 'Tacoma. is clouting his way to fame in the Navy. He is doing some fancy scrapping around Bordeaux. France. He was booked to appear there in a 20-round battle with Audouy, French title holder, on Octo ber S, but such news is regarded as non-essential effort on the cable so the fans will have to await the arrival of the mails to get the news. Calvert was lighter when he boxed about the Northwest than he is now. With the poundage he added in the Navy he picked up some science from Jack Donnelly who used to scrap about New lork. Duke Kahanamoku. world's champion swimmer over all distances, is now ui San Francisco, having arrived there e,m Waahlncrton on Monday. He will leave for his home in Honolulu the first of next week. The human fish is en route to Honolulu to enlist in the Aviation Corps. Before leaving the East he was stricken with Spanish in fluenza, but after a few days in a Washington hospital he was dis charged. "Stubby" Harold Kruger and Clar ence Lane, who accompanied Kahana moku on his countrywide tour for the benefit of the Red Cross, are still in Washington and will enlist in either the Navy or the merchant marine. They are about 18 years oia. rinlre "Buster" Talt, former Port land swimmer and diver, who received a furlough from the Naval reserve at Honolulu to make the trip with the swimmers, has been ordered back to his station and will leave here in a few davs for San Francisco. Ta.it also con tracted the influenza. He came to Port land from the East several weeks ago. He was not feeling well and thought he had better start for home. He hai been staying with his folks here. Owen Merrick. former Portland newspaper man and later sporting edi tor of the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, who acted as manager of the tour, has filed his application with the Knights of Co lumbus as an athletic instructor and expects to be sent to France shortly. Kahanamoku had the following to say in ban r rancisco: "We drew big crowds wherever we aDDeared and the Red Cross got a neat sum. I lowered a few marks and 'Stubby' Kruger made good time in the backstroke sprints. Clarence Lane swam in fine form and when I get ready to retire this is the lad who is going to be the champion. I never saw a youngster improve so fast and predict a brilliant future for him. Ht is the quickest swimmer on tne turns I ever saw and there are no swimmers in this country to beat him. I had a slight touch of Spanish In fluenza. but am all right again. It had me scared for a while, but the doctors just laughed at me and said that would be O. K. in a couple of days. They were right for I never felt better In my life than I do right now. 'i want to be a flyer like Norman Ross and have filed my application. First. I will have to return to Honolulu and report to my draft board and then expect to be transferred to the avia tion branch of the service. Believe me, I envy Ross, who is now a Lieutenant, and would like to meet him in the air some time. "I do not expect to do any more swimming until after the war, that is. competition. Of course, I will hit the water every chance I get, as I feel more at home in a tank than on land, but I am going to devote most of my time to study and will let the other fellows do the swimming. "But don't let anyone tell you I am through.- I am not trying to make time in the distances any more, but I guess I will be able to hold my own in he sprints for a long time to come. Some of the Eastern critics thought I would have a hard time holding my own against the new crop of swimmers that have developed, but after I lowered few records they were all willing to admit that I could still go some. Duke Kahanamoku gave several ex hibitions in Portland some months ago and practically started his tour East from here. "TOrGIIY" WING SEEKS MATCH Marty Foley, Welterweight, Is Re covering From Influenza. TACOMA. Wash.. Oct. 27. (Special.) Weldon ("Toughy") Wing, of Port land, one of the snappiest 125-pounders throwing his mitts on the Pacific Coast, Is anxious to show his line of samples against some boxer in Tacoma. and h may be accommodated at the nex Eagles' smoker. That is if Wing Is not an old man before the Spanish in fluenza ban Is lifted and Matchmaker Oeorge Shanklin is not in the home for retired sport managers. Wing has been going well In the south.

Dundee, who was Is years old. died of pneumonia the other day, while Burns was listed among the missing after the sinking of the American steamer Tlconderoga by a submarine in tha Atlantic The fight promoters of Philadelphia feel that they will be able to resume boxing by November 1. as the health officials there are inclined to believe that the influenza epidemic will be well under control by that date and the people can take In boxing shows and other places of amusement. "Spoiling" . Al Whitman., a Tacotns Men in Training Have Sports. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. Corvallis. Oct. 27. (Special.) Student Army Training Corps men of the col lege devoted this afternoon to sports, baseball, soccer, wrestling, boxing and other forms of diversion. Dr. A. D. Browne, director of physical education. is making plans for athletic events for the entire membership of the S. A. T. C. each Saturday afternoon. The slogan of "everybody fit" will be carried out. HUSTLERS TO HIITE1 FORMER HIGH SCHOOL STARS WILL BE IX LIXECP. CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, Wash., Oct 27. (Special.) Next Saturday after noon the Oregon Agricultural College football team will be seen in action against the Camp Lewis aggregation on the cantonment athletic field, if present plans of Captain T. G. Cook. athletic officer for the 13th Division, materialize. The Aggies wrote asking for a clash and the Captain is willing. Still the United States marines of Mare Island, Cal., have not come to terms for a match with Camp Lewis in the Tacoma stadium. Thanksgiving day has been proposed, but just at present there is a mixup as to the guarantee. More telegrams and letters have passed between Captain Cook and the soldiers of the sea's representatives than have been written to clinch any other con test, either this or last year. The marines met the olive drab twice last year and were victorious both times. Now the Californlans send out word that they are the drawing card and that they should not be asked to come so far North without a good, big guarantee. The local players are going great guns and nothing would please them any more than to get on tha same field with the Bear Staters. Should the game be scheduled, the place for the contest would be another question. Last year Camp Lewis and the marines .were seen in the Tacoma stadium, but there is a little doubt as to whether or not It will take place there during the 1918 campaign. Regimental football soon will be started. Athletic representatives of the various regiments have been meeting every Monday night and general opin ion favors starting soon after November I 1. It is almost a certainty that com pany teams will not do much playing. as time is so limited that everything I will be done to settle the camp cham pionship. Last year the famous 316th Sanitary Train walked away with everything I that came before them from the 91st I Division to the 166th Depot Brigade. There was little reason for It to be otherwise, for six members of the I fighting medics were listed as regulars on the 91st squad. They were Brewer A. Billie, "Big-Hearted" Sam Cook, Orville Montieth. William Holden, Will iam Snyder and Kenneth Bartlett. Basketball is coming in for a little attention, but nothing from an official source as yet. Football seems to be taking up all the time of the members of the athletic office here, but there are a few of the bugs that cannot be kept from talking about their favorite game. A service team from the Middle West I may make a trio to the Pacific Coast I this Winter. If the marine do not land the turkey day match with Camp Lewis some big Middle western cantonment will be met, according to present plans. From the way the Great Lakes Naval training station is going it may be that the sailors will be asked to jour ney West. At any rate, there will be a I big game here for the benefit of the I soldiers before the season is com-1 pleted. i i rA CORK TIP E6YPTIAM CIGARETTES Listen, People I- If you are not fuUy satisfied after smoking half the box, return the balance to 37 Drumm St., San Francisco, and receive in exchange a THRIFT STAMP.

A number of former high school and in dependent stars will play in the club lineup, and a schedule is being ar ranged. Whether the team will go under the name of The Oregonian Night Hustlers' Club or adopt a shorter name that will be easier for the fans to remember has not . been decided. The team will represent the club and play under the general name, but it is thought advisable by many of the members to line up a snappier playing title. A meeting of prospective players will be called this week and a captain elected. The Liberty eleven Journeyed out to the Franklin Bowl yesterday after noon to tangle with the much-heralded Arleta team, but according to Abe Brown, captain of the Liberty eleven, Arleta did not show. Arleta will prob ably be heard from later on the sub ject, and another game will likely be scheduled.
