This year was n exception to the long-established rule. The Hogans shoot wasn t as big thi year as it was in 1917, neither was th grand American.

FORT STEVENS ASKS GAME DOWX-RIVER ELEVEX MAY PLAY STAXDIFER THURSDAY. With Frank Farmer, the Kapowsin logger, signed for a battle with. Jimmy Darcy, local middleweight, as the star attraction at the first smoker to be held under the auspices of the Port land boxing commission. Tommy Tracey, official matchmaker, is fast lining up the rest of the bouts for the big fistic programme which will be held between December 6 and 10. Joe Gorman and Weldon Wing, who went ten rounds to a draw at Astoria last Friday night, have been matched for a return tilt over the six-round route. The two featherweights are fighting for the title of Northwest champion and their coming encounter ought to be productive of some fast and exciting milling. Billy Ryan and Sammy Gordon are two bantamweights who have agreed to Matchmaker Tracey's terms. Gordon has not participated in any bouts here abouts since his return from Butte three months ago. Ryan has been showing marked improvement in his last few bouts and stands a good chance of taking the ' verdict from Sammy. The question of where to hold the coming fights is bothering Matchmaker Tracey. Tommy is said to have inter viewed the manager of the Ice Palace regarding a date early in December, somewhere between the 6th and 10th, but has been unable to settle on the exact date of the smoker. The man agement of the Ice Palaee is up in the air regarding the . future of the big building and until Tracey and the Ice Palace management get together on the proposition the fans will continue to linger, in their present etate of un certainty. Johnny McCarthy, who was being blossomed out as one of the star at tractions for the next smoker, is suf fering in San Francisco from a slight touch of blood poison in one of his digits. This ailment, coupled with his recent attack of influenza, has set the fighting Irishman back a few weeks in his plans. Sol Levinson, manager of the Harp, is not altogether peeved at the action of the Portland boxing com mission regarding their attitude to wards McCarthy. When seen in San Francisco, last week, Levinson unraveled the follow ing line of chatter: McCarthy is not a high-priced fighter, as popular as he is. On his last Portland appearance he was given 81 besides transportation and our hotel expenses. That is not big money not for six rounds. We get more for fighting four rounds here in San Francisco and McCarthy can keep right on with his job as motorman. We are not holding anybody up, but Tracey asks us to fight for 850 less than we received the last time we were there. We deserve no censure at alL" ing beaten by the Northern University. As a majority of the men of the S. A. T. C. will not get leave of absence over Thanksgiving, the football team will continue strenuous practice all week., HARVARD GUXT IS DEAD Fullback Evins Was . Nearly Seven Feet in Height. - Samuel Holcombe Evins, probably i the biggest man who ever played on a Harvard football team, died at this home in New York last week. Elvlns, who graduated in 1892, was nearly seven feet tall and weighed about 300 pounds, in condition. He played fullbjack on the college football team and was also an all-around ath lete, excelling in weight events. YOUNG. SEEKING MATCHES MISSOURI LIGHTWEIGHT WORK. IXG IX VAXCOUVER YARDS. Is TO PLAY SEATTLE UXIVERSITY NOT DISCOURAGED BY CALIFORNIA DEFEAT. Muff Bronson or Pets Mitchie Preferred, but All Comers Will Be Considered. Al Toung, crack lightweight of Jop- lin. Mo., arrived in Portland Saturday and in a week or so will be ready to ackle any of the leading boys at his weight in this part of the country. Toung has been doing most of his bat tling around Salt Lake and Ogden, Utah, the past six months, and holds decisions over a number of the best lightweights in the country. Toung would prefer to meet Muff Bronson or Pete Mitchie in his first bout here, but does not bar anyone. Young started boxing about five years ago in Joplin. Among the boys he has fought are Harvey Thorpe, Sail or Kirke, Kid Mex, Charley Short, Pat Gilbert. Lee Mornsey, Eddie White, Joe Azavcdo and Joe Rivers. He knocked ut Joe Rivers in five rounds on June 8 1917. He was matched to fight Johnny Dundee 15 rounds at Ogden, Utah, last March. The Ogden promoters offered Dundee 1000 and three round-trip tickets from New York to Ogden to meet Young, but the former called the match off at the last minute, stating that he could not make the journey. Young holds a six-round decision over Lee Morrissey, the Salt Lake box- who has been in Portland for some ime. Al is working at the Standifer Vancouver yards and as soon as he sees any matches in view will start train ing. He is at present angling for matches in Seattle and Tacoma. ... Claire' Bromeo fought Willie Bern stein in a scheduled six-round prelim inary to the Wing-Gorman fight in Astoria Friday night. Willie took one in the pit of the etomach in the third round and went down for the count.

The University of Oregon eleven re turned yesterday to Eugene after hav ing suffered defeat at the hands of the University of California eleven Satur day at Berkeley, score 6 to 0. "Shy Huntington's athletes are not the least iscouraged over their defeat and plan invasion of Seattle next Saturday, where they take on the University of Washington gridders. Huntington expects a hard fight from Washington next Saturday. The Se ttle institution claims to have heavier aggregation than the Aggies. The Corvallis team claims more ton nage than Huntington's athletes are charged up with, which means that Huntington will be up against the same proposition against Washington that he had In California last Saturday. The work of Carl Mautz, former Washington High School grldder, who is playing right tackle for Oregon, is attracting the attention of Oregon gridiron followers, who predict bright future for this lad. Mautz opens up some big gaps in the opposi tlon s line when on offense and is tackling in great style. His interfer ence is quite commendable. OREGOX PLAYERS RETURN Eleven Starts Training for Game With Washington. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene, Or., Nov. 25. (Special.) Returning early this morning, after having held the University of California to a 6-to-0 score on the Berkeley oval Saturday, the University of Oregon regimental eleven started work today for the game with the University of Washington. Pat O'Rourke. left tackle o'n the Lemon Yellow eleven, is pretty badly bunged up after the contest in the South, and Coach "Shy" Huntington is afraid that he will not be in condition to take part in the game in Seattle this week-end. The rest of the Oregon team is in good condition and after a couple of days' workout will be in shape for the game.

SEATTLE. WASH., DISTRIBUTORS BOARDS MAY MUSTER OUT Idaho Representative Will Present Plan to Congress. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Nov. 25. That the last act in mustering out the soldiers in the present Army should take place before the local draft boards is strong ly ' urged by Representative Addison T. Smith, of Idaho, who fears that unless some such plan is adopted there will be a congestion of labor near de mobilization centers and a scarcity of help in remote districts. The present plan of the department is to muster the men out at camps and give them the money to pay their way home. Representative Smith thrnks the Government should provide each man a railroad ticket to his home com munity and require the signature of the local draft board on his final dis charge papers, thus putting him back where the Government found him. I did not expect the war to end so quickly, so I bought lots of fine Serges, Worsteds, and all kinds of high-grade materials, enough to last a year or two more.

The conferences on the pre liminaries of peace probably will be held in Paris instead of at Versailles, owinsr to the superior accommodations. Only the formal sessions at concluding stages will be held at Versailles.

French, British and German delegates attend the meetings. General Nudant represents Marshal Foch, with Com mandant Sisteron as his assistant. Gen eral Von Winterfeldt is the German military representative and Mathias Erzberger, who also was a member of the German armistice delegation, par ticipates in most of the sessions. Some of the meetings are described as having been animated over the ef forts of the Germans to obtain modifi cations of the terms of the armistice. Marshal Foch's reply was a refusal to consider a change and a dispatch from Basel gives the text of the Marshal's reply, which says: "No attention can be given to the de mands presented in General Von Win terfeldt s letter of November Zl.
