Great Lakes Naval Eleven Is
Due on Coast Soon.
SERVICE TITLE AT STAKE
Mare Island Marines to Defend Pa
cific Coast Claims on Pas
adena Field.
r BY JAMES J. RICHARDSON.
The Great Lakes Naval Training Sta
tion football team, of Chicago, which
plays the Mare Island Marines eleven
at Pasadena, New Year's day, during
the Tournament of Roses, was sched
uled to shove off from the Windy City
yesterday, bound for the scene of the
lig East-versus-West clash for the
ervice championship of the country.
The coming gridiron classic, which
will bring together the two most for
midable elevens in the country, col
legiate or service, promises to be
played before the largest crowd that
ever invaded Tournament Park at Pas
adena. Three big inter-sectional gridiron
contests have previously featured the
annual Tournament of Roses at Pasa
dena. In 1916 Washington State Col
lege triumphed over Brown University,
14 to 0. When the University of Penn
sylvania came West in 1917 to play
Oregon, the Easterners were big favor
ites in the title tilt, but the Eugene
eleven trampled on the Penn athletes
by exactly the same score as Wash
ington State defeated Brown the year
before. New Year's day, 1918, in the
absence of college or university grid
iron teams of high caliber, it was de
cided to hold a Pacific Coast service
championship, which was annexed by
the Mare Island Marines when they
won from the 91st Division team of
Camp Lewis, score 19 to 7. "
Teams Are Representative.
The coming battle between Great
Lakes and Mare Island is the biggest
event in football circles and each
eleven is truly representative of the
section whose honor it eeeks to uphold.
The Great Lakes team, which has
defeated every team it has faced in
the East, including Gil Dobie's An
napolis eleven, was selected from 50,000
gobs" at the Chicago Naval Station
and its personnel includes some of the
greatest college and university grid
iron heroes of the East. Eastern foot
ball experts say the "cream" of tht
Atlantic Coast is represented on the
Great Lakes eleven.
The wonderful record of the Mare
Island Marines eleven, which was re
cruited from among the gridiron stars
of Oregon and Washington schools, is
well known to Pacific Coast followers
of football. The "devil dogs" regis
tered a total of 457 points to their op
ponents' 20 during the present season,
which is a record the Mare Islanders
will leave for future Western grid
iron aggregations to shoot at.
The Mare Island Marines is truly
representive of the Northwest, from
whence comes the stars of the Pa
cific Coast gridiron firmament. Jake
Risley, of Portland, former University
of Oregon star, is playing center for
Mare Island and never played a better
frame. Bill Steers. of The- Dalles,
former University of Oregon gridder.
is playing fullback for Mare Island
and also doing- the kicking for the
"devil dogs." Carl Lodell, of this city,
last year's star of the Oregon Ag
gies, is playing one of the guard posi
tions for Mare Island. Nate Schandel
ing, of Vancouver, Wash., and a former
Mount Angel College gridder, is regular
tackle on the Marine team. Bill Hay
ward. University of Oregon, is train
ing the athletes.
Wonderful Record Made
Washington State College, Pullman,
and Gonzaga University, of Spokane,
furnish the balance of Mare island's
star aggregation, which has chalked
up a record this season that has never
been equaled in Pacific Coast football
history. The two Hanleys, Benton
Bangs, Zimmerman, Pike. Gillis and
Moran help round out the formidable
team that will defend the gridiron
honors of the West from the Eastern
invadefs.
Neither of the two Eastern univer
sities were able to register a eingle
point on the occasion of their trips to
the Pacific Coast. The Great Lakes
eleven will carry the hopes of every
sailor in the service as well as grid
iron enthusiasts of the Eastern sec
tion of the country that the boasts of
Westerners that football material and
coaches of the West are the equal if
rot better than their Eastern brothers
will be dynamited.
Paddy Driscoll and big Jim Gonzel
man, of the Great Lakes eleven, are
primed for a great battle and the
"gobs" will have about eight days of
basking in the California sunshine in
order to get fully acclimated before
their championship clash with the
Marines.

"I'm mighty sorry I didn't know

That means that you just walk into
Cherry's Style Shop, pick out what you

and then pay for it a little each payday
to suit your means. You pay a very

j rectors of the association held a special
I meeting- at the Drexel-boulevard Y. M.
C A. College in Chicago last week and
unanimously voted to adopt this form
of athletics.
In the past there has been a lot of
sentiment against ihe manly art of self
defense in the Y. M. C. A. work, but it
preat value has been demonstrated in
the Army.
Ad Garlock, wrestling Instructor of
the Portland Y. M. C. A., has always
been a strong advocate of boxing -and
has taught a number of his pupils the
rudiments of the game, but never has
been encouraged to do so by the powers
that be her.e and has never been al
lowed to lit his boxers compete In ex
hibitions given at the local "Y." It is
hoped from now "on his work will be
looked upon with a different view by
the officials.
The style of mass boxing as intro
duced by Adolphus Geer, of New York,
has been approved by the directors in
BOLLOCHER TO GET CONTRACT.
ST. LOUIS. Mo., Dec 19.
Charles Hollocher, shortstop with

tonight announced he had re

reserve with the Cubs for 1919,
and ' that a contract would be
tendered him some time in Jan

consists mostly of shadow boxing,
which any man or boy can easily fol
low. As soon as the rudiments of the art
are mastered, regular boxing classes
will be organized. In the near future
each Y. M. C. A. will be represented in
properly conducted amateur tourna
ments by its best boxers.

Portland Boxing Commission
Seeks Capable Fighter.
DARCY MAY HEAD CARD
San Francisco Boxers, to Be Asked
lo Come ?orth for
Engagements.
WANTED A capable opponent for
Johnny McCarthy for the next boxing
smoker to be held at the Heilig The
ater, January 8.
The Portland boxing commission is
very desirous of sporting the San Fran
cisco Irishman oft at the next smoker,
but are confronted with thelmost im
possible task of securing a capable op
ponent for him.
Unless some capable opponent is
found for McCarthy during the next
few days the commission will sidetrack
Johnny and look around for an oppo
nent for Jimmy Darcy, according to
one of the "commish" who was in a
talkative mood yesterday.
Walter B. Honeyman, secretary of
the commission, expects to leave to
night for a month's stay in San Fran
cisco and while in the Bay City will
have a heart-to-heart talk with some
of the Frisco mitt wielders and may
induce some of them to come north for
a little ewatfest.
The story sent out from Seattle that
Harry Anderson held Johnny McCarthy
even in their recent four-round bout
has been the subject of much unfavor
able comment and Seattle fight fans
take issue with Ted Whitman, referee.
One of the letters sent to a Seattle
sporting writer and which was pub
lished reads as follows:
"Sporting Editor Post-Intelligencer:
Dear Sir. You say McCarthy won as
far as Salt Lake.
"Had there been no ropes or walls
to hold Anderson, the fight would have
finished somewhere near Kent. All of
which leads to a condition I have been
protesting for more than a year, which
is the practice of referee's giving de
cisions through sentiment and not on
points." Yours for clean sport.
"JOSEPH DUFFY."

CHICAGO, Dec. 19. Twenty pounds

Training station today and departed
for his home in Dodge, Nebraska.
Stecher, weighing 220 pounds, said
he was in the best condition of his

ments. JEFFERSON MEN PRACTICE
SQUAD OF 4 0 DAILY PREPARES
FOR BASKETBALL SEASON.
Anderson, Captain, Will Be Missed
but Others of Experience Appear.
Coach Quigley Is III.
Nearly 40 players are turning out
daily for basketball at Jefferson High
School and a great season is expected.
Coach Quigley is still under the
weather with an attack of pneumonia
and will be unable to attend his classes
for several weeks. The basketball
squad is practicing under the direction
of Professor Scott.
The Jefferson quintet's chances for
the coming basketball season were
somewhat dimmed yesterday when it
became known that "Smear "em" Ander
son, captain of this year's team, will
not be in school. Anderson played
tackle on the football team and was
one of the mainstays of the Jeff hoop
ers last season. He is the only letter
man available for this year's basket
ball team.
Norman "Zip" Youmans and Louis
Coulter, the two sensational Jefferson
football men, will be available for
basketball this year. Both started with
the Peninsula Park Vikings last season
which set up a great record in inde
pendent circles. Youmans played with
the Lincoln High School five several
years ago.
Coach Quigley will have other ex
perienced men out ror the team.

at Reed to succumb to that disease.
He was sick for nearly a week and
seemed almost recovered, when he had
a relapse and. died a fortnight later.
Kaufman was one of the star men
on the football eleven and had he
been a little heavier he would un
doubtedly have been a first-string man.
He was top-notch wrestler and held the

The prime quality in which it reached you
would not have been possible had there
been a weak link in the chain of production
and distribution. It is a big story, taking us
right back to the livestock country. The
breeding of high-quality cattle is being
encouraged. The sleek, corn-fed steer has
replaced the scrawny animal of years ago.
Assurance to the producer of a dependable
year-round market is making it profitable
for him to improve the quality of his product.
When it is remembered that 80 per cent of
food products are grown where less than
20 per cent of consumers live, it is obvious
that to reduce freight prevent long-haulage
loss guarantee the producer a steady,
accessible market modern, scientific, sani
tary packing houses must be maintained at
logical points.
Then, there's the vital question of nation
wide distribution. This calls for an ade
quate fleet of refrigerator-cars and icing
stations en route so that perishable products
may be delivered pure and fresh. How
efficient this system has proved is attested
by the Interstate Commerce Commission in
its report of July 31, 1918, where they say:
