It has been intimated for some time that the War Department soon would increase the scope of training" men to be able to use their own persons in offense and defense. AMERICAN GAME IS URGED CALIFORNIA WOULD RETURN' TO PLAY OF SEASONS AGO. Minneapolis 'High Schools Resume Schedule Behind Closed Doors. Basketball Games Loom. , Football managers of the University of California are spreading propaganda to have all the high schools of Califor nia play the American game of foot ball for 1919 and the following seasons. About eight seasons ago all the high schools played the American brand and there was a great movement at that time against the game, as it was "so much rougher" than Rugby. Berkeley's decision to change to the American game, when announced last June, caused a sensation in football circles on the campus, as managers re alized that they would have a good source of material trained in the spe cial tactics of the American game. Since then the University of California men have endeavored to have all of the high schools change to American football, but have not succeeded to any great extent. Tt higii school teams in Minne apolis have resumed their schedule, playing behind closed doors. The plan has met with great success and by the time school opens again the teams will be through with the first part of the schedule and will he in good shape. The Interscholastic League in Se attle is still at a standstill and if the ban continues few games will, be played 'this season. In San Francisco talk is already turning from football to baskeball in interscholastic circles. No games have been played. ASTORIA BOXERS IN TRIM EARL MOHAN" PROMISES FIGHT FANS FAST BATTLES.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. 7. With the football month of November well under way, the schedule of the Missouri Valley Conference has not yet been definitely settled and it seems probable teams of uncertain quality, after fre quently interrupted training seasons, .will meet in a few games. The idea of a post-season series for the benefit of the Red Cross and other war activities, as suggested by Coach A. A. Stagg. of the University of Chi cago, is now attracting much attention, since realization has come that S. A. T. C. regulations and the influenza epi demic have so curtailed the season originally plajined as to prevent the meeting of many teams. PORTLAND BOY READY TO BOX Billy Ryan, Local Bantamweight, Writes to Tacoma Promoter. 4 TACOMA.. Wash., Nov. 7. (Special.)

The Portland Hunt Club will hold a senior closed paper chase tomorrow afternoon. James Nicol, M. F. H., an nounces that the start will be at 1:30 o'clock from the Portland Riding Academy and promises an exception ally flee trail. Arrangements were made last night "by Ted Cramer, football manager at Oregon Agricultural College, for the Standifer Shipbuilders' team to tangle with the Oregon Aggies at Corvalli3 Saturday. It is said that the quaran tine will be lifted in Corvallis today. Cramer also clinched & game with tho University of Washington on No vember 23 for the Aggies, the contest to be played in Seattle. Oregon Agri cultural College will play the Standi- fer shipyard team with three of their best players missing from the lineup, but Coach Hargiss is drilling men overtime to fill their shoes. The three men not available for this game are George Powell, fullback; "Skeet" Rey nolds, end, and Julian Ash. tackle. Powell starred in the game against Camp Lewis last Saturday, and his loss will be felt keenly. The other men also have been putting up a good game. Powell is still in school, but because of some trouble will not be able to play Saturday. Ash '.lurt his knee in the Cainp Lewis game, and it went back on him in practico the other night and will lay him up for a week or more. Reynolds has left for the avia tion school at Berkeley, CaL The Standifer team held the Van couver barracks eleven to a 7-to-0 score in three-quarters oT play last Sunday and should give the hard-hitting Aggies more than a good work out. Of course Coach "Tick" Malar key did not have all of his regulars in shape to shoot in against the ship builders last Sunday, but Standifer made a good showing. The main thing was the lack of condition. Tom Standifer has a bunch of stars playing under his colors, and once they get in shape should make some of the teams in this neck of the woods step. His team has been strengthened by the addition of Fred Rehbien Rehbien also plays with Multnomah Club and is a former Lehigh University star. He is a backfield man and tackle, playing both positions equally well. Rehbien is a big man and wfll be a tower of strength to the Standifer team. Coach Clark has scheduled a game with the Military Police team of Van couver for this Sunday, but will likely have to call it off, as the players would not be in shape for two hard games in a row. m v The University of Oregon team is anxious to tackle the speedy Camp Lewis soldiers eleven and hope to trim the beefy 13th Division outfit. If they succeed they will be accomplishing something three other elevens have failed to do. The Lemon-Yellow squad is an entirely different team from th one that played Multnomah Club early in the season and Coach "Shy" Hunt ington is expecting big things from his "gang." The Vancouver Barracks team will meet the Chemawa Indian eleven on the Post Athletic Field this Sunday. The Indians haven't got the best team in the world this year, but will be bat tling every minute. Another game may be played Sunday on the Post Athletic Field between the Military Police and some outside aggregation. Otto Rittler, well-known California manager of athletics who is now a Y. M. C.
