MATERIAL IS PLENTIFUL
St. Mary's Boasts Midget Team..
OAKLAND, Cal., Oct. 20. 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.

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

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.

secured by Oakland about the middle
of the past season from Washington

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

Dempsey and Kearns feel that Mee

promoters are already dickering for
his services and he would look good
over the 10-round route here.
Roy McCormlck, holder of the Lord

England, has decided to remain in

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.

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

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

net result has been a tremendously
greater enthusiasm for everything
that has to do with games and
sports."
