St. Mary's college here has a "midget" football team of boys none of whom weighs more than 110 pounds. Albina, Arleta, Danlway and IIIlls boro Elevens Form Nucleus of Possible Association. Evidently football ranks with base ball in popularity, for a great num ber of former college, high school and independent football stars are or organizing elevens which will furnisti Sunday football this season. The only drawback to prospects for one of the greatest independent football seasons in the history of the game is that as yet there has been very little effort made by the various team man agers to organize a league. A meet ing was called early in the season, which was attended by only three team managers. Since then there has been nothing done in. the way of a permanent organization. Several Sunday games already have been played, the contests being ar ranged by the respective team man agers, and the brand of football which has been put on has been, well worth witnessing. One of the best of the Sunday clashes was between the Albina Ath letic club eleven and the Arleta team, played last Sunday, which ended in a. 0-0 tie. AlbLna Starts Well. The Albina team is just starting the season and went on the field Sunday with only a few days' practice. De spite this handicap the Albina squad put up a great game and held the fast Arleta eleven scoreless. The Al bina team is without a game for next Sunday and would like to schedule a contest with the Oswego team, pro viding it can be arranged. Max Walther of Spalding's has been scheduling some of the games for the independent gridders, but finds it rather a hard task to secure contests for some of the teams without the help of an organized league. An independent football league has been formed in Seattle and has got ten off to a good start. There is no reason why a similar association can not be organized here with the same results. An independent league with competent directors an officials will do a great deal towards eliminating the wrangling and disputes that have characterized independent games of past seasons. Many Players Available. There are a host of players in Port land who are anxious to get into foot ball togs again. Among the teams which have ex pressed a desire to enter a league are the Albina Athletic club, Oswego, Duniway Park, Hillsboro and Arleta. A soldier team from Vancouver is be ing organized and is anxious to en ter the league. The Columbia Park team has always been a strong con tender for championship honors in the past and should be able to put trong team in the field again this season, although nothing has been heard from the Columbia Park boys to date. "Red" Watts, former Columbus Ath letic club star, has been secured to coach the Albina team and will also be seen, in the lineup. DOIWAY PARK WIXS, 7-3 Juniors Defeat Fast Lowensart AUstars in Close Game. In one of the hardest-fought games ever witnessed in independent foot ball, the Duniway Park Juniors de feated the fast Lowengart Allstars Sunday by the close margin of 7 to 3. After 10 minutes of play Joe Leon etti, Lowengart halfback drop-kicked from the 20-yard line. The Duniway team was held score less until the last 10 minutes of play when a series of line smashes by the Duniway backs put the ball on the Allstars' five-yard line where Frank Caputo plunged through for a touch down. Lillis kicked goal. Doane, the Lowengart fullback, was knocked out in the'fourth quarter and was carried from the game. Uuasco, Garbarino, and Caputo played well for Duniway, while Sol fciteinburg and Matin featured for the Allstars. Meeting of Student Body Will Pass on Challenge for Combat Among Budding Orators. " Reed college Is moving fast toward the inter-collegiate field. Following the decision to play outside games is the immediate possibility of Reed ntering a tri-college debating league ith the University of Oregon and Oregon Agricultural college. The University of Oregon sent a presentative to Reed last Saturday ith contracts, which, if accepted, 11 for a debate between the three colleges jon December 12, 1919. Yes- rday morning the Reed student council, in company with a number of students interested In debate, con- dered the proposition, and though favorable decision was reached the uestion will , be placed before the ntire student body Thursday for nal approval. There is every possibility that Reed ill accept the challenge and enter into ferensic competition with its larger Oregon neighbors. The feel ings is now general at the college that since the "brawn" of Reed is to have a chance to compete in out- de contests the "brains" should be given representation as well. The eeting Thursday is mainly to de- iae means of supporting the debat- g teams financially. It will not be the first time Reed as debated outside the college. A umber of contests have ben held ith the University .of Washington and Reed has always acquitted itself well. ' A number of Reed men have gnified their intention of entering the tryouts. Freshmen, with less than three months' attendance at col lege, are barred by the terms of the ontract, but this will not apply to Reed, since the college opened in the iddle of September.

Several Clubs Classed as Strong for Old Practlce-7-Baum's Res ignation Also Up. West Point Elects Leader Who Then Fails to Win Place. A situation believed to be without precedent in intercollegiate football as developed at West Point, where Alexander George, the captain, . has failed to win. a regular place on the team, t . More than a month ago, when can idates for the army reported for practice, George was elected to the aptaincy. He had previously played at the Texas Agricultural and Me chanical school, but beyond this othing was known of him as player. As the day for the opening game Ith Middlebury college drew close, it appeared that George, who is a uarterback. would be unable to dis- lace Wilhide, who had been put at uarter. He was subsequently tried at end, and at this position he also failed to show ability enough to win regular position. Charles McQuarrie, the army's full- ack and great punter, has been act- rg as captain since the game with Middlebury, and it is believed that George will soon. resign in his favor. In the meantime the army coaches are giving George every opportunity to make good. Amhurst Adopts Golf. Golf has been made an official sport at Amherst college by vote of the tudent council, and ma.ches have been arranged with Dartmouth and Williams and with an informal team from Wesleyan; The action at Am herst came as a result of a growing demand for the game on the part of the student body, following the suc cess of last year's Informal team.

The next event of interest to come up before the session of the Tiot stove league will be the annual fall meeting of the Pacific "Coast league directors,-, which, is elated for San Francisco either the last of October or the first part of November. From the strength of the wind one might think that a terrific battle Is in store, but it may turn out to be a much more peaceful gathering than is expected. Of coirse the question of throwing a few clubs out of the league, adding a few more, changing back to the draft rule and a few. minor "questions" are bound to crop up when the diamond magnates gather round the square table. Also it may take a cordon of police to keep Some of the San Francisco tribe off of. Ed Maier and Johnny Powers, but up to the latest reports there are plenty of cops in the Seal Rocks city. And again there will be some discussion on league policies in reference to the minor league meeting to be held in Springfield, Mass., the middle of November. Whether the question of the resig nation of President Allen T. Baum, submitted during the playing season, will be considered is something the delegates will have to answer.' It doubtless depends on how many votes the opposition to Baum can muster. So far, the opposition has been un successful in securing enough strength to accept the resignation and secure the election of a new president. Baum himself refuses to go Into details in answer to the question as to whether or not he will be a can didate for re-election. The name of George Hildebrand, former San Francisco outfielder and now Amerfcan league umpire, has been introduced as the president, next. Quite a bit of controversy has been aroused over the non-appearance of President Baum at the Vernon-St. Paul series. Officials of the American association and the St. Paul team com mented upon his absence. Baum himself explains that he was ignored by the southern clubs and was not asked to participate in any way in the negotiations for these games. "Neither club referred any matters to me, he said yesterday, and nat uraliy I could not be expected to take a hand. Originally when the question was brought to the attention of the coast league, no action was taken. So, at that time, I referred the mat ter to the four clubs, any one of which was in line for the coast league flag "Since that time no reference has been made to me. I wasn't even asked to name the umpires, thoygh you do read in the papers .they have had sev eral-list fights during the series and nothing of the" sort occurred during the coast league race. Judge W. W. McCredie, owner of the Portland club, will leave for San Francisco as soon as the date of the meeting Is set., McCredie. Charley Graham, manager of the Seals, and several others will put up a strong battle to restore the draft system at the meeting. Under the old system the major league clubs could draft one player from each class AA club at the price of 2500. The new drafting rule elimi nates the drafting of players from class AA clubs by the majors. This works a handicap on many a player, for it is . the life ambition of most class AA ball players to go to the majors. With the draft eliminated, the majors will not take so many players from class AA clubs as In the past. It practically prevents class AA players from advancing in their pro fession. Players themselves were not in favor of the elimination of the draft. They realized that it would minimize their opportunities for advancement. The more liberal managers were also against the elimination of the draft rule, for they realized that it killed many a good young player's incentive for hard work.

Included in, the party were C. C. Johnson, John and William Hud son, George Clark, Robert Gleason, John Dougherty, John Brassen and J. W. Forsyth. Soccer Game Scheduled. STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Cal.. Oct. 20. The annual soccer game between Stanford university and California will be played here on the morning of November 22, the date set lor the "big game" of American football between the two institutions. Unless some hitch develops within the next few days Benny Leonard, lightweight champion of the world, will defend his title in ' a decision bout for the first time since he re moved the crown from Freddie Welsh of England. Although Beniw has fought over a hundred battles since the event of his winning the cham pionship on a technical knockout, he has never defended his laurels in a decision match, which Is getting by "pretty." According to the present dope Leonard is down to meet Johnny Dun dee of New York in a 15-round bout to a referee's verdict at Hartford, Conn., next Monday night, October 27, which may explain why Dundee did not meet Joe Benjamin, the lanky Portland lightweight in their sched uled bout last week in New Jersey. With Benjamin serving as a team mate of Leonard's it would not look very well to let him have a. crack at the Scotch Wop, especially when he might do more than hold his own. Although the contest between Leon ard and Dundee will be a champion ship affair and , will attract inter national notice, it probably will prove nothing more than, a reunion between these two famous scrappers. They have fought so many times that the ring dopesters become weary every time they attempt" to figure who had the better of the latest mixup. Their latest endeavor in the fistic line was an eight-round affair at Newark, N. J., several weeks ago, which was' Said to have been a real setto. The majority of the scribes at the ring side, gave the verdict to Leonard, al though some claimed Dundee had a shade. The bout may have been an appetizer to the coming champion ship go. Leonard should knock Dun dee out. There is no disputing that. But the champion readily admits that the little Italian boxer is one man who can always give him plenty of trouble. Five years ago Dundee might have had a chance of taking the title away from the classy Hebrew mittman. To day, Dundee is not the formidable fighter who used to keep . them all guessing. Jack Dempsey Is coming "West to fight his first battle since winning the heavyweight title from Jess Wil lard at Toledo on July 4. The-latest news has it that Jack will show his wares for the first time in a cham pionship contest over the borderline at Tijuana. Mexico. Dempsey's ar rival in San Francisco en route to Los Angeles, where he will go Into pictures for several weeks before the fight, is expected anytime within the next 10 days. Authentic news of Dempsey's. de cision to fight for James J. Coffroth at Tijuana was announced several days ago. Kearns and Coffroth are said to have come to terms In the east. The only remaining . detail to the match is the champion's opponent. That Willie Meehan will be selected seems a certainty. Dempsey is still smarting under the decision gained over him by the San Franciscan and he has always ex pressed a desire to erase the reverse Over a route, possibly 20 rounds. Dempsey and Kearns feel that Mee nan will be pummeled into submission. Coffroth apparently plans the mill soon after the Tijuana race plant Is set in operation. Jack Britton, welterweight cham pion of the world, may soon leave for the Pacific coast for a series of matches. San Francisco and Oakland promoters are already dickering for his services and he would look good over the 10-round route here. Roy McCormlck, holder of the Lord Lownsdale belt, emblematic of the light-heavyweight championship of England, has decided to remain in San Francisco. McCormlck stopped off ' in the Seals Rocks city for fight on, his way to Australia and liked the going so well over the four- round distance he changed his mind about leaving for the Antipodes, for a while at least. Tommy Simpson, the Oakland promoter Is trying to line Eugene High Discovers Shift and Hammers Peacock, Scoring, in Last Period. ALBANY. Or.. Oct. 20. (Special.) The Albany high school football team is seriously handicapped now by the absence of "Pete" Miller, the big tackle and captain of the team. Miller wrenched his neck in a scrimmage last week, but did not regard the injury as serious and kept on prac ticing. The injury became more trouble some, however, and at the same time a severe cold developed Into illness which Sent him to bed last Friday on the eve of the local school's first game of the season with Eugene high school here Saturday. It is hoped he will be in condition for the next game, Local high school students are not inclined to establish an alibi for Albany's 14-to-0 defeat by Eugene, but Miller's absence evidently was big factor. It was not known until after Friday's practice that the cap tain could not play, and to fill his niche Peacock was shifted from end The latter had been playing good bal at end but had never played 'tackle and most of the Eugene gains were made through that side of the line. Discovering the situation, the Eugene backs hammered Peacock hard throughout the game. Miller's absence caused another complication, too, because Coach Brumbaugh had built up his offense largely around the big captain, who is the most experienced player on the team. The Albany lads held the visi tors scoreless for three periods, bu some big gains through the weakened tackle position enabled them to score twice in the last period on short for ward passes. J n ?

He would have it that a player could not be ruled off-side on two-thirds of the playing pitch, or in other words, that a player can only be given off-side on the third portion of the field at the opposing goal, in stead of half as at present. He also recommends that a. goal could be scored direct from, a, corner kick. classes, ranging from the bantam weight title risht up to the heavy weight class. The bouts in the final championship series will consist of ten two-minute rounds, in accord with the rules laid down by the A. II. F. athletic officer last season. Sweets Are So Rare That Men Re gard Y. M. C. A. Prizes Worth While in Competitions. WARSAW, Poland (By Mail.) You can't imagine what a. difference . bar of chocolate or a package of chewing gum makes here among the Polish troops, where a little sugar is as rare a commodity as good wholesome amusement. And the men were just about as much surprised at the offer from us of the one as of he other," writes Fred. B. Messinsr. regional athletic director of the Y. M. C. A. Interest in athletics among the Pol ish troops languished until some gift ed man hit upon the novel idea of put ting up large quantities of chocolate and chewing gum as prizes for sports events. The result was that the list of entries in this latest Y track meet rose to such a number that the pre liminaries occupied three days and ended in the largest track meet the army has ever undertaken. We held separate tryouts until each company was reduced to the best twenty men it coujd muster. Messing continued. and euch was the group spirit that grew up that we hardly knew what to do with those who were eliminated; they were a bitterly disappointed lot, I can tell you. But these preliminary tryouts had their greatest effect in showing the commanding general and his staff the necessity of having games in which masses of men could participate. The trouble was that the polish soldier has never learned the 'game spirit' that the American youngster understands from the time he sets out to swing a baseball bat almost big as he ia himself. There are no Christy Alattnewsor.s anc ly Cobbs to pose as heroes for the Pol ish urchin. But he ie learning now. making up for lost time, too. and the net result has been a tremendously greater enthusiasm for everything that has to do with games and sports." Pasco Iligh 31, Touchct 7.
