CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma. Nov. 7.
"Willie Ritchie, former lightweight box-
ins champion o tho world and boxing
instructor here, returned yesterday
from Camp Gordon, Georgia, where, he
took the course of instruction in bayo
net work, hand-to-hand fighting and
other physical drill given athletic di
rectors and boxing instructors of all
cantonments.
Immediately after his return Ritchie
began laying plans for the holding of
several large boxing shows in Seat
tle, Tacoma and possibly Portland and
other cities, in which Camp Lewis box
ers would be starred, to assist in rais
ing funds for various war work ac
tivities during the campaign, which
will begin November 11.
Ritchie tonight was to confer with
George Shanklin, boxing promoter of
Tacoma, concerning the proposed bouts
to be held there. Nothing yet a
been done concerning the fixing of
dates or selecting adversaries for the
Camp Lewis boxers. It is berieved that
if the boxing shows are "held they
will raise several thousand dollars for
the war work associations
Ritchie returned enthusiastic about
the course of training he received.
The aim of the course was to teach
instructors things they could impart
to recruits that would build in the
new men poise and what to do in an
attack if they lose their rifles. 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.

TROEH HAS HIGH AVERAGE
VANCOUVER SHOOTER. LOOMS
AS AMATEUR CHAMPION. .
Homer Clark Leads Professionals
With .9 7 52 Per Cent Nebraska
Shot in Second Place.
Frank M. Troeh, of Vancouver, Wash.,
state champion and National all-around
titfeholder. who shoots with a $19 gun,
is now on top in the race for high aver
age amateur among the trapshooters of
the United States. The leadership has
see-sawed back and forth between
Troeh and several of the country's lead
ing trapshots all year. Troeh has aver
aged .9711 on more than 6000 targets so
far this year.
Troeh this season has' won the dou
bles championship of the United States
and Canada, the Bingles trapshooting
championship of Washington and the
international trapshooting champion
ship at Wilmington, Del. Present indi
cations are that he will be high aver
age amateur. He is the only amateur
above 97 per cent,
Harry Lorenson, of Newman, Cal., is
second with .9687 per cent. There are
only two' other trapshooters in the
country who have shot at more targets
this year than Troeh. They are O. N.
Ford, of San Jose, Cal., who tops the
list with a mark of 8870 targets, and
E. F. Woodard, of Houston, Tex., who
has blazed away at 6290 targets.
Troeh's number was 6243 targets. Since
the latest averages were compiled by
the Interstate Trapshooting Associa
tion Troeh has shot at nearly 1000 tar
gets and by the end of the year he will
have close to the top figure of targets
to his credit. It is not the number of
targets you shoot "at that counts, but
the number you bring down.
Homer Clark leads the professionals
with .9.752 per cent. Clark Ls the pro
fessional champion. Rush Racee, great
Nebraska shot, has an even .97 per cent.

POST-SEASON" SERIES PLANNED
Since Schedules Curtailed Middle
AVest Colleges Have 1o Figure.
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.

TACOMA.. Wash., Nov. 7. (Special.)
Billy Ryan, speedy Portland bantam
now at Astoria, Or., and Eddie Bernard,
handy 140-pounder of the same place,
re willing to travel a few rounds in
the benefit boxing show to be given
for the United War Fund drive.
Ryan has written to Matchmaker
Giorie Shanklin that he and Bernard
are willing to come and give their
cervices gratis to help the event along.
Hunt Club to Have Chase.
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.

manager of athletics who is now a Y.
