I.ouis Coulter did not get in the Jefferson lineup, while Quarterback Youmans was taken out after the L first half. "Shrimp" Maison played . his first game of football at quarter yesterday- for Benson and showed up well against the Jefferson team.

The hope is felt and expressed by British golfers that some of Amen ca's leading young golfers, including Herron, the champion, and Jones, the rrnner-up at Oakmont, will be seen on courses across the sea in the near future. Tiu r'ield, while welcoming such an in "asion, thinks measures should be taken to repel attack upon the British amateur championship. It says: The extreme youth of the two play ers who fought out the final match of the -American amateur champion ship has not escaped notice in the press. The winner has just come of age, the runner-up is no more than 17. It is highly probable that in the iiear future one or both of these youngsters will compete for cham- pionsnips Kjver here, and we must be im-epared ro find other golfers, such ,-les Evans and Francis Ouimet 1? still in the fullness of youth l-nr inlnincr with thAm in tha or to take trophies and titles .-'j the Atlantic. Experience may gice to keep them at bay for a . but youth is bound to tell in (long run, even at the old man's a. No doubt the world would con- to. go round even if American V; were to win our amateur onsnip year alter year lor a or. two. But we should not pleased by this incident in its ls round the sun. usly it is necessary, in order -d against the occurrence of k-we should train a phalanx of young golfers capable of resisting the attack of the invading forces. A good many golf clubs, notably the Royal Liverpool and Sunningdale, encourage the young Idea by admitting the sons of members at a reduced subscription as "cadets." And the existence of pub lic greens, such as St. Andrews and the Braids Hills, is all to the good. But more is needed. The young Britisher still finds it rather irksome to make a science of a sport. It is at once his virtue and his fault that he lives in the present when he is playing his games. Many an American golfer, visiting this country, has expressed his surprise at the light-heartedness with which the quite good players whom he meets walk up to the ball and hit it. 'You fellows," said one the other day, "only show that you are really trying when you have missed a shot." It is true enough that the majority of British golfers who owe strokes to scratch, seem to be comparatively slap-dash in their manner of playing. And if this fault, or virtue, is common to golfers of more or less mature age, it is not to be expected that boys, proverbially the fathers of men, will show themselves lacking in it, and regard their every round of the links as a stepping stone to the winning of a championship. ATHLETICS FOR OFFICERS Xew War Department Regulations Require Two Hours Weekly. Under the new war department general order requiring every officer below the grade of brigadier-general to take two hours of athletics weekly, any and all forms of sports may be elected by each individual officer. An army captain may now indulge in anything from gymnastics to golf, the only stipulation being that he spend not less than two consecutive hours at whatever form of exercise he elects. The new order thereby de nounces the idea that 10 or 15 min utes of stretching or pulley-pulling daily after rising has any appreciable benefit. In two hours consecutively spent at tennis, golf, or other sports, however, the physical exercise is of large value. The following revisions have been made in compilation of orders, war department: "The war has demonstrated that physical fitness' Is one of the essen tial qualities of an efficient officer. It is now equal weight with "intelli gence' and 'leadership. It is pecul iarly a self-imposed duty of every of ficer so to regulate his manner of living and to prescribe for himself such course of physical "xerclse as to be at all times physically fit to per form any duty to which he may be assigned, or to meet any reasonable test for demonstrating such fitness. "In reporting upon rating cards, re porting officers will take into care ful consideration under the heading 'physical fitness the facts whether or not an officer fully complies with the foregoing Instructions a1 rate him accordingly. 'For all officers below the grade of brigadier-general, except those actually attending drills and other nstruction with troops, duties will be so arranged that all officers will have one-kalf day a week, in addition to Sundays and holidays, to be devoted to physical exercise. All such officers are required to avail themselves of this one-half day each week, exclusive of Sundays and holidays, for physical exercise, and each officer, unless excused for physi cal disability, will then engage for a period of not less than two consecu tive' hours in one or a combination of the following forms of exercise which most appeals to him: Walking, swim ming, tennis, golf, baseball, rowing, medicine ball, handball, football, basketball, lacrosse, boxing, fencing, wrestling, track events, horseback riding, bicycle riding, physical exer cise without apparatus similar to the Swedish exercises, and exerc'ses with gymnasium apparatus. Each office coming under the pro visions of this paragraph will be re quired at the end of each month to ign a certificate to his immediate commanding officer to the following effect: "I certify that during the past month I have taken the exercises as prescribed in Par. 22, compilation of orders. Circulars and bulletins, 18S1- 1915, as amended. Sound Boxers All Set. TACOMA, Wash., Oct. 22. Morris Lux of Kansas City and Frank Bar- rieau of Vancouver, B.

From pres ent indications the navy will rule the favorite when it meets the army here November 29.

SCHROEDER TO HOLD HELM Football Men Suffering From Minor Injuries Expected to Play -in Saturday Game. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis. Oct- 22. (Special.) The camp of the Oregon Aggies is in gloom tonight since it was an nounced by Coach Hargiss that Bob Stewart, husky center, would be un able to participate in next Saturday's intercollegiate contest with Stanford university here, which marks the launching of the Aggie's 1919 inter collegiate schedule. Stewart has been showing up mighty well at the snapper-back po sition and Coach Hargiss was pinning his faith to the robust Portland youth, but a notice from the college doctor this evening brought out the infor mation that Stewart showed symp toms of having appendicitis and prob ably would have to submit to an op eration. Everyone on the campus is pulling for the big fellow in the hope that he will pass the doctor and ap pear in a uniform Saturday. Rcirdca Is Oat. Captain "Butts"' Rearden will not be in the lineup Saturday against Stanford. The peppery little quarter back has been on the hospital list for the past two weeks with an injured knee. For the past few nights he has been running the team, but tonight Coach Hargiss and his assistant. Brewer Billie, decided that Rearden'a knee would not stand any battering next Saturday and 'permit him to lead the team against California the fol lowing week at Berkeley. Bill Schroe der, who has been showing up well at quarterback during Rearden's absence from the lineup, will be at the helm for the Aggies. Several Aggies are suffering from minor injuries, but are gamely stick ing in the lineup. With the exception of Stewart and Rearden it. now looks as if Hargiss' lineup against Stan ford will be as follows: Center, Heyden; guards, Johnson and Swan; tackles, McCart and Walk er; ends, Hubbard and Rose; quarter back, Schroeder; right half, Kasber- ger; left half, Lodell or Hodler; full back, Powell. Seat Sale la Heavy. The advance sale of seats indicates a record-breaking crowd. A number of special features have been planned by the greater O. A. c. committee to entertain the throng. The special train which it is planned to run from Portland probably will leave Fourth and Alder streets, Port land, between 10 and 10:30 o'clock Saturday morning, thereby giving business men a chance to visit their office and open up the morning's mail. The train will return, leaving Corvallis for Portland immediately after the game. Reservations for seats in the grand stand are coming in thick and fast to James J. Richardson, general man ager of student activities. Richard son said tonight that with any kind of weather the "crowd would surpass any previous homecoming event. The special train which will run from Portland to the scene of the Stanford-Aggie scrap at Corvallis Saturday has been arranged for by the Oregon State Agricultural col lege alumni. It will arrive in Cor vallis about 1 P. M., returning imme diately upon the conclusion of the game and the present schedule calls for its arrival here between 8 and 8:30 o'clock P. M. . Washington high school's band will make the journey on the special rat tler. Graduates of the two institu tions have invited the public in gen eral to make the trip. Reserved seats for the game can be obtained at A. G. Spalding & Bros., Broadway and Al der streets, until tonight. SOUTHERNERS ARE CONFIDENT Bob Evans ' Expects Offense to Break Oregon Line. PALO ALTO, Cal., Oct. 22. (Spe cial.) Confident of at least keeping the Oregon Aggies from scoring and with high hopes that his offense will hit its stride and- break through the Oregon line. Bob Evans will take about 16 football players with him to YOUR OWN ALLEY WITH THE TEN PIN TUMBLERS' LEAGUE. B-oovUnc PRlvArk. 7'' ' X I . ' keep PARPCN mejr Corvallis tomorrow night to meet the Oregon Agricultural college on Satur day. The varsity has been working with a good deal of spirit and ambition this week and. as the Oregon contest is the first conference game, the squad is working hard to be in shape for the northern team. The same men who started the Olympic game will line up for the kickoff in the Oregon contest. The line will be composed of Curtice and Flowers, tackles; Caughey and Blhl man. guards; Righter, center, and Pe louze and Shlaudeman, ends. In the backfield Holt will start at quarter. Bonney and Campbell at the halfback positions and Templeton at full. Since Templeton is not in the best of con dition, Evans will use Ward at quar terback. Holt at left half, Bonney at right half and Campbell at full, if "Dink" is forced out of the game. The following men will be taken on the trip: Righter. Pallette, Flowers, Betts, Caughey, Levy. Curtice, Per shing, Pelouze, Butt, Holt, Campbell, Bonney, Wark, Templeton, Bihlman and Shlaudeman. MATHEWS TRIES SHIFTS WILLAMETTE PREPARES FOR REED GAME ON SATURDAY. Considerable Improvement In Line up Looked For as Outcome of Hard Scrimmage Work. WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Sa lem, Oct. 22. (Special.) Saturday afternoon will find the varsity eleven lined up against Reed college on the latter's gridiron. A game was original ly scheduled with the Dunlway park team, but that aggregation canceled the contest yesterday and arrange ments were made with the Reed of ficials for filling the open date. Coach Mathews is putting the men through some hard scrimmage work at present, so a great improvement should be seen Saturday over the bunch that faced the alumni eleven ten days ago. Considerable shifting is still being done and several of the best scrappers are not sure of regu lar positions. Rein Jackson, who filled a halfback berth in 1917, has been turning out for three or four days and from all appearances will be seen at right end against Reed. With Wapato in the back field again, there is promise of the greatest race of the season be tween Zeller and Rarey for a half back position. Both men are among the hardest fighters on the squad and it will be interesting to note how Coach Mathews will line up Saturday. Captain Dimick and Irvine are the other back field men, both of whom are sure of their places. CHINESE PLAY FOOTBALL American Sports Popular With Students at Pekin. SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 22. Ameri can football and baseball have been successfully introduced at Tsing Hau college, Pekin, China, according to Ming S. Lowe, registrar of the college, who was here recently en route to China after a tour of the United States. Eight yars ago Lowe left for China after having graduated from the Uni versity of California, wl ere he was known as an all-around athlete. After his arrival In China he ob tained the service of an American coach and physical director, D. K. Brace, a Reed college graduate, to coach tha various teams then organ ized in a tentative way. in baseball. American football, soccer, tennis, track and swimming. American footbull and Yankee base ball are among the most popular sports at Tsing Hau college. A golf course is soon to be laid out near the college. OFFER MADE FOR RED SOX Syndicate Seeks to Buy Interests of Harry II. Frazce. BOSTON, Oct. 22. Purchase of the Boston American league baseball clut by a local syndicate, which, if suc cessful, would elect Representative Gallivan. president of the club, has been proposed to President Harry H. Fraiee, the present principal owner. Representative Gallivan announced today. Sunday Football Barred. After Muggsy McGraw and his as sociates had lined up a classy football ream or iormer college stars under the direction of Charley Brickley of Harvard fame, their plans were knocked into a cocked hat by New York city authorities, who declared Sunday football was a violation of the law. McGraw was asked to keep the team intact for Saturday games, but he stated Saturday attractions would compete with college contests and would .not pay. The team will be abandoned.

George M. Varnell of Spokane, famed northwestern football official, accom panied the Pullmanites to this city, but remained over and did not leave until this morning. Varnell will ref eree the Washington State-California classic and will be gone for a fort night, as he is also slated to referee the California-Oregon Aggie contest which will be played at Berkeley on November 1. Between games George will hike for Los Angeles. The 18 wearers of the moleskin who were in the Pullman party and who boarded the Pullman car for Califor nia yesterday morning were: Dunlap and Bob Schnebly, centers; Carl King Ellwart and Rufe Schnebly. guards; Hamilton and Herreid, tackles; Brooks, Roy Hanley and Harold Hanley. ends; Mclvor and Skadan, quarterbacks; Captain Dick Hanley, Moran, Jenne. George and Yenne, halfbacks; Gillis. fullback. The charging proteges of Captain Welch will arrive in Berkeley in time to run through practice scrimmages tomorrow. They worked out for the last time in their own bailiwick Tues day afternoon, leaving Pullman that night. The coach, trainer and men will be back in Pullman next Tuesday in time to get in shape for the University of Idaho game billed for Rogers field. Pullman, November 1. George M. Varnell, football referee extraordinary, spent yesterday hob nobbing with Portland friends. He was the guest of P.lowden Stott at din ner last night, took in the boxing matches and left at 1 o'clock this morning for the southland along with Judge W. W. McCredie. president of the Portland Baseball company, and W. H. Klepper, who came down fro Seattle and joined the judge. Klepper will represent the Rainiers at the meeting of the Pacific Coast Baseball league directors in San Francisco. Varnell and Stott, two of the most able officials on the coast, are keep ing in condition by playing handball and battled in several games at the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club yes- terday. Referee Varnell officiated in the Oregon-Idaho game at Moscow last Saturday and is loud in his praise of the lemon and yellow. "W hen Shy Huntington's men played Idaho off its feet during the last half of the game I was greatly surprised," he said. "Idaho has its best team In five or six years. Huntington instructs one of the most evenly balanced clubs I've ever seen. They all stand about the same size. Not so much beef but all well built. Shy's men used straight football during the latter part of the game, piling up a score of 27 to 6 against Idaho with re markable ease." Yesterday marked Coach Welch's first visit hereabouts, if one can call the'few minutes he spent here that. The new Washington State college football mentor weighs around 165 pounds, appears to be about 32 years of age. and is a quiet, unassuming man who seems to say what he means and lets it go at that. Bill Dietz' successor also came from Carlisle where he assisted Glenn Warner and starred for three years at halfback. "It's hard to say how a football game will go," he asserted when asked to make a prediction of the result of the coming California game. "My man are in great shape only a couple of them suffering from minor bruises and we ought to win unless the Californlj-ns are very much bet ter than we." ' Captain Welch Is well liked by hii men and they are out fighting for him every minute. This counts, to a large measure for the 49-to-0 trim ming the Pullman lads diahed out to the Multnomah club last Saturday at Spokane.

Showing Mad With Oregon Team Leads Fans to Believe That Good Game Is In Store. UNIVERSITY OF" IDAHO. Moscow, Oct. 22. (Special.) Coach W. C. Bleamaster's University of Idaho eleven, which last Saturday outfought and outplayed the heavier University of Oregon team for two quarters, only succumbing in the final periods to superior poundage, will leave Moscow tomorrow morning for Salt Lake City, where the University of Utah is to be met October 25. The Idaho-Utah clash will afford gridiron critics their first opportunity of several years to compare the call ber of football played in the Pacific northwest with that offered Inter mountain conference fans. Local ob servers believe that Coach Bleamas ter's aggregation is certain to make a creditable showing. Ko definite announcement has been made as to the personnel of the Idaho squad, but it Is thought that Captain Breshears, Thompson, Irving. Ger- lougn, oowen, r. Evans. G. Evans. Whitcomb, Perrine, Plastino, Nagel. Glindeman. Barber, F. Brown and Kinney will comprise the party of invasion. Roy Thompson, an all-northwest fullback; Neil Irving, former Rupert high school star; Joe Whitcomb of Lewiston and Ralph Breshears of Caldwell are likely to start Satur day s game In the Idaho backfield. "Turk" Gerlough. a brilliant half back who twice has been mentioned in "Walter Camp's list of all-Amer- ican eligibles, probably will be kept on the bench by a severely wrenched knee. Felix Plastino of Pocatello and Pat Perrine of Nei Perce undoubtedly will start at the tackles and the guards will be picked from Nagel of Nam pa. Barber of Emmett and Frank Brown of Boise. Heintz Glindeman of Coeur J,'Alene probably will open the game at center and either Gowen of Caldwell and Evans of American Falls or Kinney of Xampa and Brown of?Boise will start at the ends.

Three clubs, Vancouver, Victoria and Seattle. will again make up the Pacific Coast Hockey association this coming win ter, Frank Patrick. Vancouver, presi dent of the association, announced here recently. The same three clubs last winter fought through a three-months' schedule for the coast championship, which was won by the Seattle Metro politans. Seattle at present shares world championship horrors with Mon treal's National Hockey league team, the series between Seattle and Mon treal having been halted by Influenza last spring when each team had two victories. Few new faces will be seen on the hockey circuit this winter, it is be lieved. Frank Patrick will continue to manage the Vancouver team: Les ter Patrick, his brother, will handle the Victoria end and "Pete" Muldoon will pilot the Seattle champions once more. Most of the players of last season are expected to report this year. Patrick recently denied rumorr from Montreal that the world cham PionKhio tourneV would be played off in Seattle some time in lecember.

IMITATION? is all very well, but lt Is much easier to take accurate note of the manner and style of a well known player than it is to give the same kind of an exhibition in all its essentials. There seems to be a tinge of irony in the fact that the harmful unessentials are easily ac quired. Many an habitual foorler never forgets to remind the amused onlooker that he Intends to hit his ball exactly as Francis Ouimet or Chick Evans would accomplish lt, either by working his right foot firm ly into the ground when taking his stance or by throwing hands and club out in preparation for his shot. Ex perts have declared that this method of imitation Is of no particular benefit when a player's best shots are most needed, for the reason that what might be a good mannerism in one man might prove devoid of benefit to an other who imitates the first named. The individuality so prominent in golf will not permit it. The Desire FOR the highest class workmanship and material is greater today than it ever was before, t This has been caused by the prevalent substitution and cutting down quality to fit price.

LEWIS PREPARES TO L Former Welterweight Signed for Three Bouts. BASHION'S NAME ON LIST Cliampioniiip of Europe Sought by Battler Who Lost American Title to Brltton. Ted (Kid) Lewis, former welter weight champion of this country, is preparing to return to Kngland. He will leave the United States on Oc tober 28. When Redmond Barry, the English promoter, was in this cin try recently tryinpr to sii?n up Jack Dempsey for a bout with Joe Beckett, he arranged with lwls to go to Ens land for three bouts. Among others, Lewis will box. with Johnny Bashion, the welterweight champion of Ku rope. Kive years ago Lewis came to the United States. He was practically unheard of in this country at that time. He was a lightweight and made good from the start. About three years ago he declared himself a welterweight. At that time there was no welterweight champion, so Lewis claimed the title. He defended it against Willie Ritchie, but after many bouts Jack Britton finally suc ceeded in winning the title from Lewis. "I am going back to England with the intention of winning the welter weight championship of Europe." de clared Lewis. "Then I am coming back to this country to force Britton into a bout with the title at stake. I know that I can defeat Britton and regain the crown. If I succeed in doing this, I will then be the welter weight" champion of the world. In stead of Just the champion of this country. It will really amount to reviving a world's championship that has been dormant for some time." Before leaving America, however, Lewis intends to keep busy. He has several bouts in prospect. Willie Meehan Is tired of waiting to hear from Jack Curley regarding his tentative match with Jack Demp sey. After refusing offers from all sides, the San Francisco fat boy, so comes the report, has agreed to box Carl Morris at the Oakland. Cal.. audi torium, and the match, it is said, win be staged by Tommy Simpson early in November. Simpson insists upon a forfeit and Meehan has promised to post his coin. Meehan got back last Friday night from Hanford. where he succeeded in flattening Charlie Miller in two rounds. Motorman Charlie boxed under the name of Jack Moran. but to prove how little a name means, he was all finished with the second round well under way. That wasn't enough for Willie. He proceeded to have an argument with Moose Taussig, former manager, con cerning a matter of finances, and only the Intervention of kind friends prevented a scrap that wasn't on the programme at Dreamland. Taussig insisted he had advanced money for sleepers to Seattle on the occasion of Meehan's trip when he boxed Ole Anderson, and was en titled to a refund. That Willie declared he had over paid Moose on another occasion and that the manager was better than even. Willie remarked he had a notion to mop up the floor with Taussig and Moose Invited him to start any time. Just about that time mutual friends stopped the word battle. ... Johnny McCarthy Is laid up with a bad cold and it is said that it will likely be a month before he is once more ready for the fight game. Johnny has a number of matches awaiting him in the northwest. ... George Adams, the Chicago bantam who boxed in this section for several months, has written friends from the east that he may return to San Fran cisco this winter. Adams has been doing considerable boxing in the east and has met with considerable suc cess. Stadium Nearing Completion. NEW YORK. Oct. 22. (Special.)

Sounds like' golf, but Babe Ruth, Boston's leading manufacturer of home runs, was .speaking about baseball. Babe doesn't do much batting off the field. He doesn't believe in trying to score base hits with his chin, but every once in a while he can be persuaded to go to bat in the conversational league, and when he does he generally knocks a couple of verbal home" runs. Naturally, at this time, the all-important question for Ruth to answer is "What is the. secret of successful batting?" It was in reply that Ruth unhesitatingly answered: . "When a pitcher is preparing to I deliver a ball try to guess what he intends to throw, a curve or a fast lone,' continued Ruth, ""but just be I cause you have made up your mind he is going to throw a curve do not be too sure of it. Always remember the pitcher also is trying to outguess the batter. That is part of a pitcher's work. Once he releases the ball never take your eye off it. If you do you are gone. Watch it all the way. Watch It as it breaks and watch it as you start your swing. The batter who watches the ball only part of the way in its flight to the plate sel dom becomes a good hitter, for if the pitcher is throwing a curve it seldom breaks until it is within a few feet of the plate. It is almost impossible to tell whether a thrown ball is. go ing to curve or not until the actual break occurs. For this reason it is necessary for a batter never to take his eye off the ball. "When I was a youngster just be ginning to play any kind of real base hall a veteran player impressed upon me the necessity of keeping my eye on the ball, and I have never forgot ten it. It has become second nature with me, and yet 1 never step to the plate that the warning "Keep your eye on the ball' does not flash through my mind. "Next to keeping his eye on the ball a batter must learn, to hit with a free and easy swing. He must not hold his elbows tight against his sides. It is impossible to get a free swing if the' elbows are "bound." By this I do not mean they should be held out from the body, but they must be given all the freedom of action that Is possible. "Hitting power Is generated in'th wrists, forearms and the muscles be hind the sholluer blades. Therefore it is necessary to drive a ball hard to get your shoulders in the swing. It is not necessary to swing sojiard that you spin all the way around. The man who swings in this way loses time In getting away from the plate. Getting started quickly toward first base is something that demands close attention. Many a base hit has been lost by a slow start from the plate and many a base hit ha been made by getting away quickly. "The batter who swings completely around, loses his balance and before he recovers himself he has lost the equivalent of at least two full strides. Two strides of. say, five" feet each mean that he has lost more than three yards In the SO-yard dash to first. And thre yards is quite a handicap. "There are many more things about batting, but these are the chief things to remember and to practice."
